Great Experience!

I had a wonderful experience with Ferri Formals in purchasing my wedding dress. From living several hours away throughout the fitting process, the staff was very understanding and flexible to accommodate their schedules for when I would be in town. They were so helpful in helping me narrow down my options until I found my dream dress! They did a phenomenal job in altering my dress to ensure it fit properly and that I felt comfortable. MaryLu went above and beyond to make sure every detail, including the intricate beadwork, was perfect. I highly recommend Ferri Formals!

Most Perfect Dress

I used Ferri Formals and Bridals to find the wedding dress of my dreams and was not disappointed! The staff was incredibly helpful and listened to what I was looking for. They were able to find me my dress almost immediately. I felt the fitting trial was easy and the seamstress did a phenomenal job. The dress fit me perfectly and I’m excited that it will soon be turned into a cocktail dress I can wear for years to come! Highly recommend Ferri Formals and Bridals for anyone looking for a gorgeous wedding/evening/cocktail/bridesmaid dress.

The best all around!

Marylu and the Ferri Formals team are phenomenal! They made my wedding dress dreams come true. Our entire wedding party was dressed, including MOB. I originally chose them because of the designers they carried, and ended up falling in love because of the personalized and competent customer service. At my first appointment, I let them know my budget and the kind of styles I was interested in, and I found my dress that day. They also did the alterations on-site for us all, and everyone’s dresses and suits fit perfectly after the first fittings. They’re attentive, flexible, and welcoming. I never felt more beautiful than I did in my dress. Would highly recommend!

Excellent!

Ferri Formals and Bridals is a great shop with reasonable prices and so much variety in size and style. The location was convenient for me, so they ended up being the only place I went to shop for my wedding dress. When I was trying on dresses and searching for the perfect one, I never felt rushed or pressured. It was such a fun experience and they made me feel so special. I took my dress home with me and brought it back a few months before my wedding for alterations. I had my dress taken in quite a bit and it was still a little big on top after alterations. They did even more alterations and told me I could pick it up 2 days before my wedding. That was stressful, but they assured me it would be ready and that there would still be time left for more alterations if needed. They pulled it off and I was happy with how well my dress fit me. My husband and his Best Man rented their tuxes from Ferri Formals and the process was very easy for them. They also altered my Maid of Honor dress, even though it was purchased from somewhere else. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience with Ferri Formals and I'm looking forward to having them clean and preserve my dress!

Found my perfect dress & had the best experience!

I did not expect to find my dream dress the first day I went looking, but it happened! I scheduled a whole day of appointments at different bridal stores just to cancel from the dressing room of our second stop, Ferri Formals! (which has THE softest fur carpet, by the way!) With so many different styles and sizes from different designers, I really felt like I got to try on everything I was interested in and when I got down to my top choices, I didn’t want to take my dress off and the decision was obvious! MaryLu was awesome and went above and beyond to make the experience feel special from the first time I walked into the store and every time after.
