Great selections and personality

The Wedding Dress Shop was the only store that I visited to find my wedding dress Abby asked for an idea of what I needed, she gave me about 6 dresses. I was able to find my perfect dress from the selection that she gave me.

Highly Recommend

Abbie was the best. I am not someone who enjoys shopping normally and I was very nervous about wedding dress shopping. She made my whole group feel right at home, she was funny and laughed with us too. My dress was everything I could have dreamed of and more. The alterations process also went seamlessly. I had a short engagement (only 8 months) and they were so great to work with. Thank you for everything!

Will do anything to help you find the dream dress!

I struggled finding a dress that I liked, and of course found something online that no stores carried. Luckily I found Abbie and she was able to request a loaner dress from that designer so I could try it on at her store. She was so patient and let me try on loads of other dresses too so I could make sure it was the one. I'm SO grateful for how kind, flexible Abbie and the Wedding Dress team is. I felt so beautiful and comfortable all day long.

We collaborated on a Fashion Show this fall and the dresses from The Wedding Dress were beautiful and unique. Shelley has a great sense of style and can really put together a bride.
