This was the only bridal appointment I had that charged a fee, so I honestly expected the experience to be exceptional. Unfortunately, it was by FAR my worst bridal appointment. I was greeted nicely when I arrived, and I filled out a form about my style and what I was looking for. We discussed that for a while, which was fine, although the conversation didn't feel particularly fluid. I also want to acknowledge that the consultant helping me was nice. However, I don't know a lot about specific dress styles, fabrics, or materials, so I found the continuous questions about exactly what I wanted to be difficult. I often genuinely didn't know the answer, but I felt like I was expected to have a more specific answer. I was shown which styles were on each rack and then selected four dresses to try on. What really surprised me was that after I selected those dresses, no additional dresses were brought to me and I wasn't really given suggestions based on what I had chosen. I was essentially left to choose what I wanted from the racks myself. Unfortunately, the condition of many of the dresses was also very disappointing. I did see some dresses that appeared to be in good condition, so I don't want to imply that every dress in the store was damaged. However, the dresses that were closest to my style were the ones that seemed particularly worn, torn, yellowed/oxidized, or otherwise in poor condition. Some appeared visibly damaged. One of the dresses I tried on even had broken straps, so I was literally having to hold it up while wearing it because it wasn't staying in place properly. The fitting process was also extremely slow. It felt like it took roughly three times as long as any other bridal store I visited for each dress to be clipped and fitted in the back before I could come out of the dressing room. At one point, the dresses I had already tried on were left on the floor of the dressing room, and they weren't being picked up until I eventually couldn't stand the dressing room. By the time about an hour had passed, I felt like I had barely gotten through two dresses. The overall appointment was also very question-heavy, which became stressful for me. I have a hard time speaking up when I'm uncomfortable, and instead of feeling excited and helped throughout the appointment, I found myself feeling overwhelmed and anxious. The experience became so stressful and disappointing that I ended up leaving the appointment early rather than continuing through the rest of the appointment. Bridal dress shopping is supposed to be a fun and memorable experience, and unfortunately this one was neither for me. I was also surprised by the overall level of professionalism. The consultant assisting me was wearing a tube top, slides, and socks. I understand that dress codes vary, but given that this is a bridal boutique where brides are coming in prepared to potentially spend thousands of dollars, I expected a more polished and professional presentation. After the appointment, I contacted the boutique because I genuinely felt that the experience was unacceptable, particularly considering that I had paid an appointment fee. They agreed to refund my $19 fee, which I appreciated. However, four days later, I still have not received the refund or an update despite following up. I understand 4 days is not long, but I also feel that it says a lot when a bride takes the time to explain how upsetting and disappointing her appointment was, the boutique agrees to make it right, and then fails to respond to 3 follow ups. I really hope management takes this feedback seriously. In my opinion, the boutique needs better employee training and a much closer look at the condition and selection of the dresses being offered. Broken, torn, heavily worn, and yellowed dresses should not be what a bride encounters when paying for a bridal appointment. I left feeling stressed and disappointed rather than excited about finding my wedding dress, so unfortunately I would recommend going anywhere but here. read more

Toni Tadsse 1 star Winnie Couture - Houston, TX I was genuinely thrilled to choose Winnie Couture for my wedding dress. I even paid extra to expedite it to ensure everything arrived on time. After months of anticipation, I showed up on dress pick-up day--only to find that the dress was two sizes too big. I hadn't lost any weight, and I later learned that the size ordered was actually the smallest size on the recommended scale for my measurements. It was clear that Gia, the bridal consultant, measured me incorrectly from the beginning. This was incredibly disappointing--especially so close to my big day. I immediately left and took my dress to Wedding Gown Alterations by John, where they had to take in 4 inches at the waist just to make the dress wearable. The total cost of alterations came to $1,200, on top of what had already paid for the gown. This is not the experience or service I expected from a high-end boutique. I'm sharing this review so that other brides don't go through the same emotional stress I did. Double-check your measurements and confirm every detail--don't rely on the boutique's reputation alone. read more

10/10 recommend Gia as your stylist. She is very knowledgeable, genuine, and eager to help you create your vision! They are very supportive when it comes to your budget which is very rare. I would say this is one of the many great things that sets Winnie apart from other bridal designers & stores. Winnie's mission is to make your bridal dream & vision come true without being held back by the obstacle of cost. You can put 50% down and 50% later! read more

Winnie Couture - Winnie Bride - Bridal Near Me - Houston, Texas

Safa is a true treasure in the industry! We were on our third location looking at dresses, and she was the type of person you wan to start with, versus the countless hours of working with the wrong people. She showed a genuine compassion for the challenges, only showed dresses that made sense, and although we didn't buy from her, as the dresses there didn't meet our requirements... She sent us on our way with a legitimate quote and recommendation of places which more closely aligned to our needs. The quality of knowledge, exceptional! The level of industry knowledge, exceptional. The ability to work with clients and their party on their own terms, exceptional. COULD NOT MORE HIGHLY RECOMMEND A SALES PERSON!! read more

Update month after wedding: Spent $4000 on a dress that was made lopsided (the only useful help i was given from this shop was their alterations recommendation John) and my veil was ripped by the associate the day i picked it all up, I asked to have the veil remade and after correcting them THREE TIMES on my wedding date (9/1/24) they called while I was on my honeymoon (9/6/24) telling me my new veil was ready for pickup (the tailor sewed it up and my WEDDING VEIL had a seam in the back middle). Overall, when I originally set out to get my dress from Winnie these were my fears; particularly having the dress made incorrectly based on previous reviews, but ultimately I loved my dress and my wedding and would just rather impart some imploring words on upper management (no not the kind general manager of the store or the kind executive who had my veil remade) but rather the ownership (whom the sales associates took pride in telling me oversee every part of the process). Put your money where your mouth is, John is not always a miracle worker, my dress worked out by sheer luck but the next girl won't be so lucky. Train your associates better with the dresses, train them to take down peoples information correctly, and try harder to avoid turnover that may cause for information having to change hands as many times as in my case (3 times in 6 months). I say this publicly because $4000 is a LOT of money to be having these types of logistical and mechanical problems, even for a wedding dress which I do understand is a difficult market. I wish my beautiful result had not had to come at the cost of what little sanity I had in the wedding planning process to begin with. Ultimately, I had had a jacket made with the dress that we attached for modesty, eliminating the tilt from the strapless neckline, and shortened the tulle on the uneven side to make walking easier and the skirt even on the ground. read more

Had an absolutely horrifying experience. I purchased my dress, had several fittings, I was made to believe the dress that I would be receiving would only need minor alterations. Once I received my $5000 dress after 10 months, I was then referred to a tailor and charged an additional $1000 to reconstruct the dress. The best they could do was give me $500 towards it. My wedding is July 23rd. Today is May 10 and the alterations are so extensive that it will not be ready until the first week of July. At the end of it all my feelings are hurt. They have been less than accommodating to me, a 'plus sized' bride. They have absolutely tainted my entire wedding experience. read more

Jessica gave us the best service and this shop had a huge selection of beautiful dresses! 10/10 recommend going here for your perfect dress!

Worst possible experience buying a wedding dress. I ordered my dress with the recommendation that I go up a size and pay extra for the hem to hollow fitting. Having never purchased a wedding dress before, I assumed a place that sells $4,000 couture dresses would know what they were talking about but that wasn't the case at all. The dress came back a total train wreck and a completely different neckline. It was so heinous, they offered to make corrections to the dress at their third party tailor who somehow made things WORSE. However, corporate flat out refused to talk to us so it was just a back and forth with the poor girl who wasn't even the one who sold me the dress. Even after weeks of our professional seamstress working on the dress, I look at the pictures of my wedding and am so disappointed that this was the dress I said yes to. Don't fall for their price tags! They certainly won't make you feel like a blushing bride when things go wrong. read more

Have you ever seen a good movie, but always get choked up at that sad part? Like you know it's coming, but you still enjoyed the movie anyways? For me that's when Mufasa dies in the Lion King. Well that's me and Winnie. I had a Mufasa moment here, but I liked it enough, Lion King style. I ultimately didn't get a dress here, but I am willing to say there was miscommunication and I can't tell if it was on my part or my dress consultant. Because I'm still confused to this day how that occurred I'm willing to take a hit and say it was my fault. Alright, to start off, despite Winnie saying you can have a low budget I would advise brides to have a starting budget of 3200 if you realistically want to shop here. While there may be dresses in the 1700 range they are far and few in between. They pride themselves on the couture aspect. (My stylist was amazing and I would have loved to have bought a dress from her. She was the one that advised to do a tour before buying a dress and even checking out other stores to maximize on their 15% off policy if you buy a dress that day. I appreicated the tip.) The ladies with me were treated well and the inside of the store, though small, was beautiful. They even gave us champagne- very fancy. I went through an array of dresses until we found something I liked. Once I found a cute dress, I was overwhelmed. Like whoa, this could be the dress, but then the dress was over 3000 and my budget was definitely at 1700-1800 if I stretch it. Possibly even 1400 if I have to consider alterations. The experience was amazing, the stylist was great, but that damn dress was way over my budget. I talked to my friends and we left, because even with a 15-20% discount it made no sense to buy it. I can't figure out how that happened. It's almost a bit of a joke, the 3000 dollar dress. If you have the cash, definitely do it, but if you have a low strict budget, I don't recommend this place. Some friends argued this was a bait and switch tactic, I don't think it was that, but something definitely happened where me and the stylist weren't on the same page when it came to the budget. Seeing that most dresses were 3000 and above, I feel that's what your aim should be if you want a Winnie gown. I know had that dress been in my price range I would have gotten it. Aside from the budget miscommunication, the only other drawback to the store was that the dressing room got hot quickly. Disgustingly hot. My stylist was cool as we tried on dresses and helped me, but I don't know how she or any of the employees can stand it all day long wearing black. I'd be a sweaty mess. If you have the money come here as the styles are varied and unique. You'll be treated well and will enjoy that bridal experience, especially to you Bridezillas out there. You know who you are. To everyone else, know your budget, be firm, and if necessary check how much each dress costs before trying it on to avoid any disappointment. I'm not bridal depressed, wedding isn't ruined, but unfortunately I can't say, "Yes, to the Dress!" here. If you can, you'll love it. Good for: Rich brides Bad for: Broke brides who should know better. Brides on a strict budget probably know better than to come here. Bridal lesson learned. read more

Went here to get my wedding dress, Samantha was my consultant and she explained the process beforehand so that it would easily flow. I was with my mom and we started by trying on several very differently dresses and then narrowing it down from there. What I love about Winnie Couture is you can completely customize your wedding dress. I loved the dress the way that it came and found no need to have to customize anything. I got my dress and veil both her and never wanted to take off the dress, it felt so flesh! I loved it and felt like a queen. When you find "the one," they serve you and your guests champagne! Thank you Winnie Couture. read more

I am writing to update my original review because Winnie Couture went above and beyond to make this situation right. After leaving my review, I was contacted by the store manager the very next business day and offered a new pair of earrings to replace the broken pair. They were very nice and apologetic. When I went back they exchanged the earrings no questions asked and gave me yet another apology. I would like to also reiterate that the dress itself and the experience of purchasing the dress exceeded my expectations. This is why I have updated it to a 5 star review. That is what the dress deserves and they more than made up for their lack of customer service. I would now definitely refer a friend to Winnie Couture. Their dresses are amazingly beautiful and their store is so fun to shop in with a great atmosphere! read more

I had a wonderful experience dress shopping. fair prices and gorgeous dresses. Highly recommend!

Don't bother coming here. It's a bunch of amateurs that don't know how to take measurements. I was asked to come in a second time to take measurements, waited three months for a custom dress and it shows up with the shortest torso ever. My sides went all the way up under my underarms cutting my arms off. They eventually spoke to alterations (which initially quoted me $1200 to fix the fiasco) and sent a SAMPLE dress in. I'm a size two...how do you think a size 10 fits. The top of my dress is so big and wide that it looks awful on my small frame. My wedding is in a week and there is nothing to do about. Thanks guys for ruining my wedding and wasting my time waiting for a so called custom dress to arrive looking like it fits on a 2 year old. FYI their dresses get made in China, so go figure the communication and time difference with getting a custom made dress. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR DRESS HERE!! We went for my friend's wedding dress, initially they were nice and helpful and we had a good experience, so she ordered her dress from here. When she went for her first fitting, she found they had ordered the wrong size and had put in a lining that was the wrong color. They REFUSED to fix it! All they said is they could take out the lining, not replace it with the correct one or get the correct size. It doesn't fit the way she wants, she has to do the lining herself and can't get her money back. read more

We worked with Alyssa to try on dresses. She was very nice and professional. They didn't have many dresses that fit my classic style in my price range, but the ones that they did have were beautiful. I ended up finding my dress elsewhere, but overall, my appointment was a pleasant experience. They were even accommodating on letting me come earlier than my scheduled appointment time. read more

Though I did not ultimately choose my wedding dress at Winnie Couture, I still highly recommend Winnie Couture to be part of your wedding dress search. The dresses are of high quality and they offer a variety of price ranges. Lauren was our consultant, who is sweet and professional. Great customer service and experience overall. They have a catalog online to preview dresses and as well more options in their boutique. read more

Honestly I love my dress I'm glad I found it, but with all the miscommunication & stress this place gave me. I would've found another dress. Seriously I paid up front Bc I loved it but I hated the service. So much miscommunication to make more money. They lost my dress, didn't even know who I was. Then they found it under another name. How does that happen, no clue. Then I was told the alterations would be made in the house because they have a in house designer. Another issue, it turns out all the fees they charged me didn't include that & they don't have a in house altering stylist. My dress came early, but I waited 2months for my lace to come in and they know I'm in a time crunch & there was no communication. I had to constantly call and follow up. So many unkept promises. It's frustrating when you pay so much for no one to even care about one phone call. I'm only giving two stars because I actually love my dress. But nothing will help me forget the fact my dress was lost & I had to play phone tag for months. Honestly I don't recommend this to anyone that cares about service. read more

Amanda is THE BEST hands down. She is so sweet, friendly, and overall amazing. She helped me find my dream wedding dress. During the whole process she was patient, kind, and asked lots of questions.

I'm so grateful she helped me pick out my perfect dress! read more

I booked an appointment with them for Black Friday weekend. My budget is limited so is my time frame (need to have my dress within one month.) I was really worried if I can really find a dress there. Before the appointment, the stylist had been communicating with me through email regarding my budget and the style I want. It is really helpful because at least I can have some idea in mind. My stylist is Gabby. She is very professional and patient. She gave me lots of time and space to think and feel the dress. Also other stylists are also really nice and helpful. They'll try whatever they can to help you zip the dress LoL...Because of the limited time, I was only able to get the sample dress. (It takes 6-8 months to get a wedding dress usually.) The sample dress were absolutely pretty and with really great discount. So I got my dress with me immediately. Overall, it is a really nice experience for dress shopping. I would recommend my friend if they're looking for high quality bridal gown. read more

I loved my experience @ Winnie Couture, they were so flexible with schedules. I had Chelsi, she is so awesome, knows what's she doing, she helped so much to make feel at ease, have great suggestions and was so positive the entire time.

Coming in I did not feel overwhelmed, we got straight to it, had enough room for my guest and all around an amazing place- I'm so excited to wear my gown and I'm so happy to have chosen Winnie Couture. read more

Winnie Couture - Tori and I after my final fitting. - Bridal Near Me - Houston, Texas

Samantha was AMAZING! She pulled three dresses to give me a vision for my custom couture gown! I shopped during the Easter sale last year for my September wedding. I was very particular as I wanted gold detail with a dramatic bottom. Samantha figured out how to do that, while not blowing my $2,000 budget! Absolutely my dream gown. Now...I'm not giving 5 stars because of the tailor they suggest for their dresses. I didn't even realize he wasn't in house until I showed up for my first fitting. We walked a couple doors down to Alterations by John. Everything went fine. I'm very busty and I'm super self conscious about that. John and Samantha both assured me it'd be perfect and I shouldn't need to add sleeves. I was told to wait until he finished and evaluate it then. I decided to go with him because my Winnie stylist recommended him. WORST DECISION EVER!! John district finish my dress when he said he would and my boobs were basically popping out of my dress!! I broke down crying. He offered to add material to the top, but charged me $80 for the material. Basically, he ruined my wedding. The stupid material didn't help and I spent my wedding day yanking with the top of the dress. If you get a dress from here....get it tailored elsewhere! Otherwise, my experience with Winnie was great! The regional manager advocated for me to get my money back from John, which was awesome. But, I hate most of my wedding pics. And I can't have my day back. You've been warned...stay away from John! read more

Went here this Saturday with my mom and one of my maid's of honor (have two) to try on dresses for the 1st time. Laura helped us and she was awesome. Very patient with me since I had no clue want style of dress I wanted. I just knew that I wanted to try certain things on haha. She was attentive and also looked for dresses within my price range. I did not feel pushed or rushed to try on dresses at all. Now on to the dresses - there were dresses that started from around $1500s to about $5500s and higher. Prices just depended on what you wanted... there could have been cheaper ones, I just can't remember. Winnie's selection was beautiful, I really love strapless sweetheart neckline mermaid dresses and this place had them. They had beautiful A-Line dresses, destination dresses and so much more. Also - if there was something on the dress you wanted to change or add they were really helpful in trying to see what they can do for you. I did find one super awesome dress, but of course since this was my 1st stop, so I didn't order just yet. But I recommend this place and Laura if you are in search for a dress. Went to Priscilla of Boston later that same day and let me tell you...my Winnie's experience was waaaaay better. Happy hunting ladies! read more

I got my wedding dress here and in the end I was happy, but it was a process getting to that point.... BE VERY CAREFUL WITH COMBINING DRESSES AND CUSTOM SIZING. I choose two dresses, half for the bottom half for the top. The assistant told me they do it all the time no problem and also suggested custom sizing. My dress came in 6 months later and it was a disaster. Instead of switching the top of the dress they just switched the belt which left an exposed seam and ruined the rushing of the dress which left it very unflattering. Besides the dress being wrong it didn't fit right, so the custom sizing was a waste it still needed to be altered, I don't believe custom sizing is good idea unless your size is extremely far off from the normal sizes. Mine came in shorter than the dresses I tried on, too loose at the top and too tight at the waist. I left without a dress and the manager called me later saying they had re-ordered it. I insisted they cancel the order because I wanted to specifically go over what dress I was going to get and remove the custom sizing. The second try at ordering the dress I was very specific at exactly where the transition between the two dresses would take place (below the knee) and how the lines between the two dresses matched up. The first assistant told me don't worry they do it all the time, WORRY be very very specific in what you want. I also ordered a dress that fit my size the closest but the hips were 2" too small, she warned me I might not be able to try it on when it came in, but the larger size was 4" too big on the top. Finally after 2 more months (it would have been longer but I gave them an absolute deadline or I was buying a different dress, as my wedding date was less than 3 months away) my dress came in. It was what I wanted, perfect! I got it altered by John in the same shopping center and he was amazing, I priced him with another place and he was cheaper with more bustle points. Long story short after many tears, stress and sleepless nights I had my dress. However due to the delay I was unable to take bridal shots before the wedding. Purchase from this salon but if you do modifications be very very specific and careful, do not trust everything will be ok, make sure it is! Happy Dress Hunting Ladies!!! read more

I love Winnie Couture! I found this bridal salon while eating at Buca about three years ago and looked in the windows. I then took my friend to try on dresses here about a year ago. Its a great place to start looking. They have all types you could ever dream of. I think their prices are pretty reasonable and they also have a wide range of prices. The ladies here are really nice and I feel like they wanted me to look good in the dress I picked even if it wasn't from their store. My consultant was amazing at straping me into the dresses. I am pretty small and the dresses are the standard sample size of 8. So if you aren't pulled into the dress right you won't look good. They also don't fool around with those plastic clips that just slip off. They use industrial grade clips, they are not coming off I promise. They also have pretty good sales! I went to try dresses on this weekend and I found out that if I bought my dress the day I tried it on I got a 20% discount and a free veil. So I took them up on that offer! I love my dress! This was only the second store I had been too, but I feel in love! They also can customize any dress in the store. I added some beading to mine. I can't wait to it! It does take a while for the dresses to be made (6 months) so make sure you start shopping early! You can also have the dress totally custom made. They take 16 measurements and it is made to those specifications. You can also order the size closest to you and then have it altered later. The decor in the place is also so girly and made the experience even more fun. They also work hard to only have 2 appointments at a time so there aren't tons of people running around while you are trying on dresses. It feels very personal and made the experience so much more enjoyable since I wasn't fitting a bunch of other brides for dresses. I will recommend this salon to all brides I know! read more

Winnie Couture was the 2nd bridal salon I visited on my search for "the dress". I've heard good things about the store and its across from where I work so I figured I'd try it out. They give you champagne when you visit which was nice and the store is plush and the dressing rooms are nice. The sales girl showed me the different dress sections which are separated by style but not price. Despite giving her the low down on what I was looking for and my budget, she didn't offer any suggestions she just told me to pick out a few. As there were dresses of all price ranges mixed in together I forgot to check the price tag out first and ended up trying on a $7k dress, oops, definitely a waste of my time. The sales girl I had seemed new and inexperienced. She also did not give me any privacy and just hopped in the dressing room with me naked. I personally don't mind but wanted to mention as I felt other salons were more polite about giving me time to switch and then helping me once I was halfway dressed. As for the dresses, they had beautiful dresses but of the 3 I tried on, they were all terribly uncomfortable. I tried on well over 20 dresses (i know - way too many) in my search and the 3 Winnie Couture dresses I can say were the only dresses that I would not wear during my wedding even if they were free because of how uncomfortable they were! There are plenty of brides that have gorgeous dresses from Winnie Couture, but I'd try out other bridal salons in Houston before this one. read more

Compassion-less. A couple of Sundays ago, I thought I had "found the dress". Both my mom and my MOH were present and we celebrated what I thought was the best decision I had made since saying "yes" to my proposal. As many boutiques require, I signed my life away when I initialed multiple forms stating that my 50% ($1000+) deposit is non-refundable. Later that night, I experience buyers remorse which is quite common when shopping for the most important gown of your life. I IMMEDIATELY (WITHIN 24 HOURS) tried to contact the company. In a panic, I left a message with Winnie Couture and even private messaged the stylist on facebook, explaining my regretful decision. I was later contacted by the stylist that assisted me (let me also include that she was amazing and has been on my side throughout). I was informed that there was nothing she could do. At this point... the store had only ran my card. The dress HAS NOT been officially ordered, no one even knows to make the dress. I went by the store multiple times and tried contacting the manager. She finally contacted me the next week to tell me that NOTHING can be done. I understand that I signed the contract. However, the dress has not even been ordered. I contacted the boutique within 24 hours of signing the contract. I tried multiple times to compromise. Please allow me to at least put my $1000+ deposit towards shoes, accessories, anything. The only "possible" compromise they would entertain would be to allow me to come back to the store and pick out a dress at a GREATER VALUE that the dress I already put the deposit down on! My heart was already set on another dress at a different store. She stated that the accessory money goes to a different part of the corporation and the dress deposit could not go towards anything else. Please... have some compassion. How can you just take someone's money when they notified you within 24 hours? The dress has not even been officially ordered. I even offered to pay the commission the stylist would have made on my dress if I could please get my deposit back. I understand I signed the contract, but please, work with me. I am currently trying to get in touch with a regional manager or anyone else willing to hear my story. -Saddened bride-to-be. read more

Winnie Couture, the land of fluffy white wedding gown goodness. My initial visit was back in January. I had come from searching for a gown at Priscilla of Boston and was a little fatigued. Because they were running late, my mom and I decided to throw caution to the wind and satisfy our hunger with some gelato at Paciugo. Dangerous to do before trying on dresses, I know. Upon our return, Marissa greeted us and explained the different styles and price points. I picked out what seemed like a dozen or so dresses (perhaps one of those was a giant poofy number that I wanted to try on just for a laugh) and was led back to the dressing area. Now, I am the girliest of girly girls. I loved the chandeliers, the way all the gowns seemed to be begging to be tried on, even the sappy love music playing in the background. When I came out in my first dress, I knew I was in love. Marissa was helpful in explaining style and how I could change it if I wanted to. *Note* They use car battery clamps to keep the dress on. So helpful! The samples were huge on me so this really helped to visualize how the gown would actually fit. Because I'm a rather tiny thing (and with the measurements of a 12 year old boy), I had my dress custom made instead of being altered. This was the more expensive option but in the long run, it's worth it. I changed the fabric from ivory silk to white satin and added buttons down the back. In totally, my wedding dress cost close to $3,000 but is amazing and classic. I would recommend Winnie Couture to any bride who is searching for her dream wedding gown. I loved the experience and my dress. It's worth every penny! read more

Although I didn't shop for my dress at this location, I wanted to let everyone know of my experience with them. Laura L., a bridal stylist at this store, was so helpful to me while I was searching for information on a Winnie Couture dress that I bought at another boutique.

I recommend anyone to shop for their wedding dress with her! read more

This store is excellent. They have superb staff, and are very accommodating to customer's needs, even if it is last minute. I believe that I will probably be stopping in here when it is my turn for a wedding dress. They are very well laid-out, and friendly. My friend had a good time with picking out her dress, especially with how many they had to choose from. The one she chose was stunning, and she didn't have a problem with the sizing either. They were able to work with her accordingly to the specific sizing that she needed. One thing I do like is that they did also engage me in conversation, even though I wasn't the one making the purchase. That always earns stars for customer service in my book. Well done, guys. Keep up the great work. read more

Had such a great experience here! Lindsey was very sweet and helpful in finding just my style and gave 100% customer service throughout my entire experience (even continues to do so since I left!) I purchased the dress of my dreams and couldn't be more excited read more

I bought my veil from the store, super beautiful! Its very long and cathedral style Ryann helped me really quick. Definitely recommend to go there read more

I popped in here on my way back from a trip and on route to the grocery store. I had an idea that I would need an appointment, but the door was open and there wasn't anyone waiting at the front counter for assistance so I took a chance and proceded to look around. I was really only shopping for a veil and hoping to get a look at some of the readily available styles. This is a very nice boutique style Bridal Shop! I didn't try on the dresses, but I did have a l look at them hanging there, oh so shiny and sweet! They did seem a little heavy to get on and off and that was one of the things I was not looking for in a dress, but for style and a formal occasion they would work for others. They had a great selection of dyeable shoes on a round tabletop and the whole place was just eye candy. I had no trouble with customer service, but left pretty quickly after seeing that the cost of the veils were going to run quite high. They had a sweet selection of blushers, cathedrals and classical fingertip sizes with some crystal detailing, but I'm going to opt for another Etsy handmade and just as sweet choice. read more

The dresses in here are absolutely stunning. There was not a thing in here that did not fit me well. I am a plus size gal so it is not every day that you find a place that every thing looks good on. It is high end but I think that it is definitely worth the money. The thing that I did not like was the service. I was in a few months back. It was actually going pretty well until I fell in love with this dress. It turned out that it was a few hundred dollars over my price point, which the consultant was aware of. It was not a huge deal but it was something that I would have to discuss with the fiance before purchasing. All of the sudden I was getting the hard sale like I was purchasing a used car or something. It made me feel very uncomfortable. My mom had to intervene (she is a little more firm than I am). The whole experience turned me off on buying the dress. Makes me a little sad because I really liked that dress.... read more

I purchased my dress here in Dec 2015 for my destination wedding. And although I love my dress, I would suggest making Winnie your last stop because if you go here first and buy a dress, you may experience buyer's remorse... They have an ironclad contract, so once you put your deposit down, that's it... I love my dress, it was custom made with the top from one dress and the bottom from another. Since I lost a few pounds after my initial measurements, it cost me about $350 to have it altered once it came in. It takes about 6 months to receive a dress from here, so plan ahead. I went in 7 months before my wedding date and had to pay extra money for rush shipping. All and all, I loved my dress, I just wish they had a 24 hour change your mind policy since I found a similar dress for about $2000 cheaper right after I left the store! read more

See all

Winnie Couture was the 4th boutique I've visited during my search for a wedding dress and I -- hands down -- had the best experience here! Lauren was super helpful, accommodating, and made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. She did not make me feel insecure and provided a safe space for me to really take my time and evaluate everything about the dress and the cost. She also kept my girls and I glasses filled with champagne! Because their dresses use Swarovski crystals, the light effortlessly dances around the dress adding the drama and sass that I love! Their dresses are fully customizable and they also have in-house alterations! 10 out of 10, would recommend this boutique! read more

Great dresses to choose from and prices are between $1,500 and $6,500. There was a 20-80% sale going on when I went to check out dresses as well. The consultant was a bit corky for my sense but she was probably just trying to be friendly. And I think she was new. I did like one dress but I don't think it is "THE ONE." The lady said it was a best seller too. It's probably better that I didn't buy it. The last thing I want is a dress that everyone else has. lol. It's like lace dresses...Everyone wants those dresses with lace. They have plenty of those too! read more
