  She really is the Bride Whisperer

  Immediately upon entering A Formal Occasion, we were greeted with a bubbly and energetic Lucinda! Everything she did from that first moment was completely personalized and thoughtful. My name even appeared on signs to dedicate my bridal space! She sat me down to interview me about what I was looking for and then led me around to pick out dresses. She made a very overwhelming task seem manageable.
  Lucinda stayed with us for a full 2 hours until I found the dress of my dreams (which happened to be the first one I tried on). She coached me and supported me through every dress. She also made suggestions about adding details and alterations that completely transformed an otherwise simple dress. I was made to feel confident and excited by the end of my appointment, which was not what I was expecting earlier in the day.
  THANK YOU for allowing me to find my perfect dress at your boutique. I wouldn’t change one thing about my experience.

  Lucinda is Amazing!

  I recently visited A Formal Occasion in the hopes of finding my dream wedding dress, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I even told myself that morning that I wouldn’t “say yes”, especially since it was my first day looking. When walking into the shop, I already knew it was going to be special because there was such a cute personalized chalkboard with my name on before we even walked in the door! Lucinda is the most incredible woman, especially when it comes to transforming what could be a daunting, overwhelming experience into something magical. I am definitely not the bride who is going to be overly emotional about dress shopping, but working with Lucinda helped me understand how significant this process can be; when she started talking about how it’s not what the dress looks like but how it makes you feel and tearing up because she cares so much, I joined her in shedding a few tears! Pat was also a lovely addition to the team; he makes you feel right at home and even offered to clean my ring while we waited for the first round of dresses to be selected. The quality of the dresses was outstanding, and the prices were very reasonable considering the high level of service and quality of the products. Overall, I would highly recommend A Formal Occasion to anyone looking for not just another wedding dress shop. Lucinda and Pat have truly hit the mark and understand exactly how to make this the most unforgettable experience anyone could hope for!

  Wonderful Personalized Experience

  I was nervous going to try on wedding gowns and worried that nothing would look good on me at 48 and plus sized. Lucinda and Pat were so welcoming, including the personalized welcome sign at the entrance. Lucinda wanted to know about my vision and feel for the wedding and what sort of style I was thinking of. She pulled some dresses I pointed to and some of her recommendations. She showed how an off the shoulder sleeve could be added to a strapless gown to make it fit my requests. All of them fit well and helped us to narrow in on what we liked and what we wanted to adjust. The last dress was the winner and immediately brought me to tears. Pat even brought over a tuxedo that complimented my dress to show how it could look. I was able to get a beautiful Maggie Sottero gown in the perfect fit and style complete with a matching gown in one day! You will not be able to find this sort of in-stock selection and personalized service anywhere.

  First stop!

  Went dress shopping today (No, the dress in the photo is not the dress! It's a surprise!) and said YES to my dress at A Formal Occasion in Kennesaw. It was the first place I tried on dresses and it was an amazing experience from the moment I made an inquiry on the website about an appointment! I was so happy not to have to go to a bunch of different places. Lucinda was amazing! Everything was personalized and well-organized. We felt so welcomed! Best part - reasonably priced AND they carry dresses in all sizes ... so I was able to leave with my dress and my tiara! They even took these beautiful photos for us. #aformaloccasionbride

  Simply an amazing experience!

  From the time we entered the store until I said yes we had an amazing experience. The attention to detail and special touches made me feel special. I’m so happy to be working with them.

  Amazing Experience!!

  This was the best experience I've ever had! So warm and welcoming!! We sat down with the husband wife duo. Lucinda was beyond attentive and was able to ask all the right questions. She was able to help me know when to say no and when to decide it was a beautiful dress just not the right fit for my wedding. I'm terrible with decisions and terrible with being able to say no. She helped me find ways to decide which dress fit my wedding style. This experience was once again the best experience I could've asked for. Thank you again for helping me find my dream dress and taking the stress of dress shopping away.

  Five Stars

  Lucinda was wonderful and so thoughtful throughout the whole process! I felt like she really listened to what I had in mind, and gave me an individualized experience. I’m super indecisive and critical of myself but she was so patient as I went back & forth on a few! (lol) This appointment was the second place I visited and needless to say, the last! I love that you walk out with the dress, too. I procrastinated a lot of things for my wedding so this was helpful. Go see them!!

  I felt like I got the royal treatment!

  Ms. Lucinda was a dream to work with! From start to finish they gave us the royal treatment here and I was able to find my dream dress within my budget! HIGHLY recommend coming here! At first I didn't think I'd find my dress here -- the dresses she showed me initially were not sparking anything for me, but as I tried them on and expressed what I liked/didn't like about each one, she brought out dresses I hadn't seen that looked closer and closer to what I wanted. She really LISTENED to me! The last dress she brought out was exactly the kind of dress I wanted! Truly she is a master of her craft, and she made it SO FUN!

  Lucinda The Fairy Dress Mother

  A Formal Occasion is absolutely PHENOMENAL!! I can’t say enough about this bridal boutique. While it may be small in size the magical moments created here while finding your dream dress is nothing short of amazing. Lucinda and her husband Pat are a great team. From my first call with Lucinda she was a joy. I love that she listens to her brides and really understand your vision for your big day. Both her and Pat’s communication throughout the entire process has been top notch. I can’t say enough about this place. I can rave on and on about A Formal Occasion so I will say this to sum it up: if your looking for bridal shop that provides you personalized experience, where they take the time to catch your vision for your big day, with great prices inclusive of fantastic customer service…then this is the place for you. Finding my perfect dress was FUN. My bridal party and I laughed the entire time. Lucinda knows her stuff. I ‘m looking forward to our upcoming wedding and sooooo glad I came across this gem!! If you’re on the fence GOOOOO YOU WILL BE SO GLAD YOU DID.

  A Wonderful Experience

  Upon my arrival I was greeted by Katie who was so amazing to work with. Despite being late to my appointment I was able to get in, try on , and find the one!! Katie is knowledgeable and dedicated to making the bride to be feel comfortable looking for perfect dress. She asks questions and listens to every detail. Overall this was a wonderful experience. The entire staff were great. I would highly recommend any bride who is in the area to definitely check them out. It’s definitely worth the drive.

  Perfect experience!

  If I could give Mrs. Lucinda and her husband more than 5 stars I would, they are so deserving of it. I am a plus size bride and I was very worried/nervous about finding THE dress for me without feeling self conscious in my skin. Mrs. Lucinda took the time with me and my group to ask exactly what I was looking for, details of my wedding, who I was marrying, the back ground of how we met, and she was just so personable with me and my group. Mrs Lucinda has a big selection of plus size dresses and she will do every she can to help you find THE one!! Look no further for a wedding dress shop, this is by far the best one in all of North GA!! Thank you to you and your team Mrs. Lucinda, I appreciate y’all’s kindness so much!

  An Amazing Experience - Go HERE!

  Katie and staff were so friendly, kind, and patient. This was the best dress shopping experience I had after visiting 3 other stores. They made me feel so special and interested in learning more about me and my fiance. Katie found the dress of my dreams!

  Come here last, you won't leave without a dress!!

  Imagine being able to walk into a cozy shop that makes you feel instantly a home, greeted by excited and welcoming owners who sit down with you and truly get to know you, your wedding vision, and your preferences, not just the wedding date, while getting a complimentary ring cleaning and a precious gift. Being escorted to rooms filled with dresses from size 0-26, each in every style! It is not hard to see that their goal is to find the RIGHT dress for you, not just a gorgeous one. One that takes your breath away, brings tears to your eyes, and embodies you. Now imagine all of that at an affordable price! Sounds too good to be true, right? A fair warning to you though; if you want the full experience of browsing several stores and trying on lots of dresses, come here last because you will not walk out of this store without a dress in tow. And once you do, you celebrate! You get to sign the wall, have your picture taken with a rose (that you get to keep!) and a sign stating "I said yes to the dress!" If you want an impersonal, in and out type of experience, this is not the store for you. But I HIGHLY recommend this store to any bride looking for a truly personal, authentic, comfortable, fun, and joyous time while feeling glamorous in gorgeous wedding gowns!

  An amazing experience!!

  My whole experience with this place was amazing! I cannot say enough good things about the staff. This was my first time dress shopping so I was a little stressed. Before my appointment they really got to know me and asked all the right questions. Upon arrival my party and I were welcomed with great attitudes. I was given a little gift, so sweet! They asked about me and my fiancé, what I was looking for in a dress, and how I wanted my dress to make me feel. I felt super comfortable. They really cared about my feelings through the whole process, not just the feelings of my party. We dressed me up like it was my wedding day to get the right feeling I wanted to feel. Once I said yes to the dress, everyone celebrated and was so happy for me. Tears were flowing. They took pictures of us, gave me another gift and let me sign the canvas with my future last name on it. The process of ordering my dress was so simple and easy. After, I received multiple texts of gratitude and encouraging words. They are so sweet. I love this place and highly recommend them!!

  My whole experience with this place was amazing! I cannot say enough good things about the staff. This was my first time dress shopping so I was a little stressed. Before my appointment they really got to know me and asked all the right questions. Upon arrival my party and I were welcomed with great attitudes. I was given a little gift, so sweet!

  This Place is Amazing

  I can not rave enough about how wonderful of an experience I had yesterday. I felt welcomed, listened to, and never pressured. I was able to try on a variety of styles. I didn't feel rushed. It just felt like a fun shopping day with the girls! I was so stressed before and once I walked in that all melted away. The staff was so kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I could not imagine finding my dream dress anywhere else. Thank you so much for making me feel so special and beautiful during my dress shopping experience!

  Best Ever!

  After trying on dresses at two other shops before this one, I can tell you that A Formal Occassion is genuine, different, and personable. The owners made sure to make me feel beautiful, recognized, and heard. Walking into A Formal Occassion, I instantly felt that southern hospitality with that quality charm I’ve always envisioned for my wedding day. Lucinda listened to my wishes and pulled dresses nothing short of amazing! All of their dresses are one of a kind and breathtaking. Lucinda takes pride in the fact that all of her dresses are unique with a wide variety of a selection all hand picked with her brides personalities in mind. There is no other place you could receive the assistance, companionship, or generosity while finding your dream wedding dress. A Formal Occassion is the place to go that will provide you with that perfect experience and complete all your wedding visions. They take care of everything! Book your appointment. You will be forever thankful you did.
  Personal experience note* - I lost a lot of weight after I ordered my wedding dress. When I called A Formal Occasion, they were able to order me a different size in the dress and exchange it no problem! It was incredible. These are the best people you could ever find.

  The best around!

  The staff was incredible. They welcomed all the brides with a sign at the front door. They made the shopping experience warm, fun, and pulled dresses for exactly how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. I could not have asked for more!

  Awesome Experience!

  This was my first and only stop for wedding dress shopping. They made the process fun and were very patient. So happy I was able to find the perfect wedding dress in one day here and for a very reasonable price!

  I said yes to the Dress!!!

  I looked everywhere for a dress and could not find the one. I came across A Formal Occasion when driving home from work and decided to call to make an appointment. They got me in the very next day and I forbid my dress!
  Lucinda is wonderful! We knew so much about styles and designers and just knew what would look good on me. She even sent me a happy birthday text and a text after my wedding day. I recommend A Formal Occasion to all brides looking for someone who is very professional a d who really knows what they are talking about. Thank you again for contributing to my special day!!!

  Amazing Experience

  I was referred by a coworker who also purchased her Wedding dress at A Formal Occasion in Kennesaw. They went above and beyond and made me feel so special. I tried on over 10 dresses and loved every single one. It was hard to make a final decision and I’m so glad I found my perfect dress! I would highly recommend A Formal Occasion based on their hospitality, attention to detail, and their amazing inventory of dresses! Thank you for sending me such a sweet text message on the day of my Wedding!

  Fantastic Experience

  I had a great experience at A Formal Occasion. Lucinda was a joy to work with and you can really tell she is extremely passionate at what she does. The dress options are beautiful and unique. The dress I said yes to I was able to bring home that day. I am 6'3'' so I was concerned about having a dress with enough length. They said all of their designers can special order extra length but my dress didnt need it. I would 10/10 recommend coming to this boutique.
