About this vendor

W.E. believe your gown should be a true expression of you, on your most important day. No matter your size or style, we specialize in non-niche, non-clique, affordable, and beautiful wedding dresses! We love every bride; from boho babes to modern sophisticates. We lean a little classic with a hint of sexy and a dash of whimsy. We love well-made gowns from designers who value design, construction, and efficient delivery!

We are a little old school; we believe in clothes pins first and Tiktok second. We believe buying your gown is more of a relationship than a shopping trip. From the first date to finding the "one", hunting for accessories, and throughout alterations - WE are with you every step of the way!

XOXO!

Wonderful experience!!

My experience at Wedding Embassy was nothing short of amazing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff. Bona was so kind and patient as I tried on wedding gowns. She was very knowledgeable about dress styles and veils which helped me to narrow down my search. Giovanna was amazing to work with for alterations. Her attention to detail and expertise was evident from the moment I met her. I am so happy that I was able to work with Bona and Giovanna to find my dream wedding dress. Thank you for making dress shopping such a fun and memorable experience! - Caitlin

Friendly, accommodating, and delightful!

Working with The Wedding Embassy was one of the best parts of wedding planning. The team at The Wedding Embassy is incredibly friendly and kind. I shopped for dresses at two stores and the difference in experience was huge. I often struggle to shop and make decisions, but the shopping experience at The Wedding Embassy was easy and fun. I worked primarily with Emma during my shopping appointments, but everyone there contributed to my positive experience. My crew and I appreciated that we could spend some time browsing the racks before I began trying things on. Emma paid attention to what I said, and what my face said, to help guide me to a dress I fell in love with. She let me explore all different styles and kept the experience energized and light. It was clear that she cared about my experience. At no time was I pressured to explore outside my budget or buy from them. She wanted to make sure I felt comfortable with whatever decision I made. I live out of state and the team was very accommodating of my schedule throughout the process. Towards the end, when I was torn between two dresses, they fit me in for a last minute appointment to help me decide. (I went with the dress I first fell in love with.) They worked with the tighter timeline I was on to make sure I was prepared in time for my wedding. I worked with Monika for the alterations and she was very helpful. I chose to DIY my veil and she offered some scrap material with embellishments that I could use and suggestions on how to arrange them. From start to finish, The Wedding Embassy was a delight to work with. My trips there always brightened my day thanks to their welcoming attitude, smiles, and caring service.

Dream Dress

This place is an absolute dream for the future bride! We had such a fun experience during the champagne toast, looking for dresses, and finally getting the staff's choice. They know their stuff! All staff are extremely professional and friendly. We even had a delightful experience with the seamstresses. 10 out of 10 highly recommend for any bride!

Wonderful experience beginning with shopping for a dress

The bridal consultants were wonderful with helping me shop for my dress and accessories. I had to have multiple fittings and had a good experience working with the seamstresses to get my dress to fit properly.

Highly Recommend!

I cannot recommend the wedding embassy enough! I took my mom and a few bridesmaids to my first appointment and we had so much time walking around pinning dresses. My stylist knew exactly what I was looking for and made sure we pulled all the right options. I fell in love with a dress but I wanted to do a few custom alterations to the neckline and to add a slit. Lisa knocked it out of the park with the alterations and made my vision come to life! Megan and the rest of the staff are incredibly helpful and I felt like I was in good hands. I’m so happy I bought my dress there.

Make an appointment today!

Come to The Wedding Embassy for all your wedding needs! With the help of my bridal associate, we found my perfect dress! They listened to what I liked and didn’t like, and found “the one” on my first visit. I needed some alterations and Renata was so patient and helpful. They even orchestrated a gifted veil from a friend without my knowledge. They are true professionals trying to help any bride feel good on their wedding day!

The best around!!

I had such an amazing experience at the Wedding Embassy! I had an appointment prior to the wedding embassy that was at an “upscale” store that turned out to be disappointing. The Wedding Embassy actually involved my party in the dress picking process. There were a TON of dresses to pick from, so each person in my group got to use two clothes pins to pin dresses they liked for me. Julie was amazing and caught on to what I liked and disliked about each dress before I could even figure it out for myself! My seamstress Phyllis was absolutely incredible. My family ran into traffic and was late for my first fitting and Phyllis put me immediately at ease, talking me through the process and then just chatting about life in general. It meant the world. Pickup at my last appointment was beyond easy, in and out in minutes. I couldn’t recommend the Wedding Embassy enough!!

A wedding dress dream come true

I can’t even express how happy I was with my wedding dress AND the customer service I received the whole year prior to my wedding day. Megan is absolutely professional, confident and smart and will go above and beyond to make sure that all of her brides are more than happy with their wedding dresses. Our seamstress Angela was SOO talented. I ended up needed a bunch of extra fittings to fix little things here and there on my dress and Angela calmly and quickly fixed every little thing I wanted to be fixed. You can tell how much she loves and cares about her work. Also, I can’t even count how many compliments I got on the beauty of my dress… THANK YOU WEDDING EMBASSY!
