    Great experience shopping at Pearl

    I had an amazing experience buying my dress and having my alterations done at Pearl. They were extremely professional, responsive and I thought the prices were extremely reasonable. They created a fun and stress free environment throughout the process. I also absolutely loved my dress!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Pearl Bridal was an incredible experience. They were kind and accommodating, making sure I had the best experience through the pandemic restrictions! The ladies were my biggest hype ladies, making me feel so positive about myself and giving me the best experience from beginning to end! The alterations were easy and painless, and I was confident in the whole process! They eased all my nerves, and my dress was perfect day of!

    Beautiful dresses and great staff

    Pearl was the first and only place I went dress shopping. The staff were so helpful and picked dresses based on what my vision was. I couldn't have been happier with my dress choice! They were very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process!

    The best bridal boutique!

    I had visited another bridal boutique in the area before coming to Pearl, but Pearl knocked it out of the park and it was where I found 'the one' after trying on three dresses. They offer some truly beautiful gowns and have lots of choices to go around. When my mother and I first went to the boutique, I talked to Ryan about what style I wanted and my price range, and she pulled out many dresses that fit what I wanted. The process after choosing my wedding dress was also easy and fun, and the staff is bubbly and awesome. I bought my veil and wedding jewelry there as well-- they have many trunk shows to take advantage of throughout the year. The alterations were done perfectly and I felt like a princess on my wedding day!

    Amazing Experience!

    Pearl Bridal was the 3rd Bridal Shop I went to and I wish I had started there first! Ryan is extremely professional and she did a great job picking out dresses that matched what I was looking for. At other bridal shops I went to I felt pushed to make a decision. Ryan asked consultative questions and did not rush me to make a decision. She made the dress shopping process enjoyable and I felt extremely comfortable with my purchase. She then later picked out a veil for me, also without pushing me to buy one when I was originally hesitant, and it matched the dress perfectly.
    My dress was also altered at Pearl Bridal and we were extremely impressed with the quality of the work. The bustle was intricate and I'm glad I stayed there for alterations rather than going somewhere else.
    Overall, I had a great experience shopping here and would highly recommend it to other brides!

    Amazing Experience

    Ryan and the team at Pearl are amazing! I was nervous about trying on dresses as a plus size bride, but Ryan made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire visit. I gave her ideas of styles and details I like, and she absolutely nailed it. The third dress I tried on was the one! Ryan's expertise is on point, and her eye for detail is wonderful. The quality and selection of gowns is stunning. We ended up getting our bridesmaid dresses there as well. Ryan was always quick to respond to emails and any and all questions I had. Covid hit right as my dress arrived in the shop, but she was in constant communication with me on where things stood. They were quick to adapt to COVID safety procedures once things started to open up again. Athan in alterations is phenomenal; he worked wonders on my dress after I lost 70 pounds! He is a true miracle worker (thank you!). Everyone at Pearl is such a delight to work with, I highly recommend them!

    So awesome!

    Pearl Bridal was so great to work with! From the first time we went in the store they made us feel so welcome, and made me feel so beautiful in each and every dress. During the Covid pandemic, they called us very early on to advise we pick up my dress so that if the store did close I would not be without my dress if we chose to keep our original wedding date. The staff were incredibly responsive via phone and email and were kind and accommodating if I brought people with me to watch me trey on my dress (not sure how this will now be impacted by Covid). I would definitely highly recommend them! Their tailor Athan was incredible as well, he even tailored my dress during the pandemic and stored it at his house so that I could still have it ready for my wedding. He was also very responsive and even fit my sister in to have her bridesmaids dress hemmed with very short notice when we decided to still go ahead with our wedding. Would highly recommend him as well!

    Didn’t need to go anywhere else!

    I found my perfect gown at Pearl! The shop is cozy and pretty, the staff was sweet, and the selection was amazing. I came in with a budget, and Brittany found everything I was looking for in one dress, UNDER budget. My wedding was last week and I’ve been getting endless compliments on my dream dress!

    Perfect dress, Amazing Experience

    I had a wonderful experience with Pearl Bridal for finding my perfect wedding dress. Ryan was very patient and accommodating throughout the whole process. I went there with the frail hope of finding a dress at the first boutique I went to and I ended up going with the first dress I tried on! It was literally the only detail of the entire wedding planning journey that I did not second guess or doubt for a second. The follow up of fittings and alterations went very smoothly- everything came out perfect! Thank you again Pearl!

    I bought my wedding dress from Pearl and I had a great experience! Their shop is in one of the renovated old mills in Holyoke, and its just beautiful. They have a huge selection of dresses of all different styles. I worked with several different consultants and they were all so helpful and professional. And I loved their tailor, he was amazing! I had a great experience, I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

    My experience with Pearl Bridal still seems like a fairy tale. The communication leading up to my first, private appointment was super clear and easy. When we got there, the space was so unique and classy; it really helped shape the experience. Ryan helped me find a dream dress within 20 minutes which was not the goal, but I’m positive that her expertise on bridal gowns and styles and the way they fit certain bodies helped the process feel seamless! The prices were surprisingly all under my budget, and I didn't have to think twice when searching for a veil at the same place. I didn't know I would end up with a blush dress, but they somehow knew I would eventually end up with one!

    Every time I visited Pearl Bridal for a fitting or when searching for accessories, it just all felt so easy and fun. I don’t think this happens everywhere, and I’ve already recommended this boutique to so many friends, family members, and clients. Once I found the dress at Pearl Bridal, everything else fell into place. It was a dream experience that I’ll never forget!

    This was my first wedding dress appointment ever. Luckily my schedule allowed for me to have a weekday appointment, so it was just the owner Ryan, me, and one of my bridesmaids who could make it. It was a relaxing experience and after showing Ryan my Pinterest, she knew exactly what dresses for me to try. Anything I asked, she was more than happy to find for me and answer any question. I was comfortable in the shop and with Ryan pretty much seeing everything I have, lol and that is saying a lot. One dress in particular stood out to me on display in the front window and was not anything I thought would look that great on me, but I fell in love and I just knew it was the right dress. Ryan was not pushy or providing opinions, other than simply agreeing with my thoughts and affirming how I felt about the dresses, as well as what alterations will be best, along with making sure the gowns supported my chest and were flattering on my shape. I remember gown shopping for prom and other formal events and feeling like the staff were a bit overbearing and telling me what I should go with. Ryan was far from that and also stayed right within my budget too. Also- the boutique itself is gorgeous and I really enjoyed the ambiance, as did my bridesmaid. My little ring bearer even came for the fun! I am so glad I chose to go to Pearl Bridal first (such smooth sailing), and am excited for when it comes in and to have it altered for the big day- what an amazing wedding gown! Thank you Ryan!

    I am so grateful for Ryan. I was beyond frustrated and defeated finding a wedding dress until I walked into her shop. She made me feel so comfortable and helped me find the perfect dress. I never thought I would get that feeling when I put on a dress, but she made it happen! I couldn't be more grateful!

    Pearl is the sweetest, classiest bridal shop around. Ryan is amazing, so in tune to a bride's needs/wants and her staff is well trained. The boutique is cozy and although there were two other brides there, it never felt busy. I had visited another shop earlier in the day and tried on probably 20 dresses, just being thrown at me all morning long. At Pearl, I gave them some direction, but she also pulled a dress she thought would look good on me. I only tried on 3 dresses (and fell in love with all 3, that's how beautiful their dresses are), and ended up picking the one she picked for me. Their selection is modern, elegant, and high quality. I also got my veil from Pearl (which was a long, cathedral veil) and they did a great job selecting a veil that complimented my dress. I did not get my dress altered there, so I can't speak to alterations. My experience (and my mom and mother in laws) were just second to none.

    I visited many bridal shops before going to Pearl Bridal and have to emphasize that all the negative parts of every other store (especially, that big-box store where everyone goes...) were non-existent at Pearl. Other shops were dirty, crowded, pushy, and made me feel bad about my size. I never once felt that way at Pearl. It is small, so you don't have to worry about trying on dresses in front of a ton of strangers. They offer plus sizes, they are kind and patient, and the employees have great senses of humor. You will pay a little more here because the dresses are top-notch, but it is totally worth it. I found a dress that fit my personality to a T and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. Thanks for everything!

    Wonderful Shop!

    Working with Pearl Bridal was a great experience. Everyone was super nice and they worked hard to find a dress that I loved that was in my budget. Every fitting was a stress-free and exciting appointment. They didn't seem to mind when I came in to try it on in between fittings to see how the dress would go with various accessories/veil. The only downside was the alterations - the guy was very nice but my bustle broke less than an hour into the reception. He's an independent contractor, not an actual employee of Pearl, but it still was a disappointment. Overall, awesome bridal shop, I would definitely recommend!

    Pearl Bridal Boutique exceeded my expectations thru my whole wedding dress process. I never felt pressured to buy anything, and when I needed some advice or opinions they were quick to offer it. My dress was absolutley beautiful and I was very pleased with the head piece and pins that I bought there. I was able to design my own veil... They also provided me with my wedding jewelry so it was very convient for me to purchase everything at the same place. I would highly recommend them.

    After visiting about 3 other bridal stores, I was so excited to find my dress at Pearl Bridal Boutique. The store is beautiful styled with tons of dresses and accessories. The woman who worked with me listened to what I was interested in but also pulled a few other dresses she thought would look good on me. I ended up with something completely different than I thought I wanted and it was everything I could have hoped for in a wedding dress. I received so many compliments at my wedding on my dress and I would definitely recommend Pearl to any of my friends!!

    Pearl is the cutest bridal shop and Ryan is the absolute best! I'm from the area but currently live in eastern mass. I shopped at one other boutique before coming to Pearl and had a positive experience but didn't find "the dress". When I walked in to Pearl, Ryan asked me what I was looking for and I told her about a dress I tried on that I liked for so many reason but it just wasn't quite right. She said "OMG we just got a dress in yesterday, let me go find it in the back, I think you'll love it." I kid you not, that was the dress I ended up buying! It was everything I was looking for and more! I couldn't be happier with my purchase and with my experience - highly recommended!

    I had the best experience at Pearl! Being in the wedding industry, I knew I wanted to look for a dress at Pearl first because I knew they had the best selection, and would offer such a personal experience. I ended up buying a dress on my first visit and never looked anywhere else! Both Ryan and Cari were amazing to work with! Cari listened to exactly what I wanted, and picked out a few dresses that matched what I wanted, but she also let me look around at the selection myself and pick out what I liked! She only suggested dresses that stayed in my budget. She was so helpful and a huge part of the reason I found my dress! I had the same experience when I went in for a trunk show and bought my veil! I was so excited to go in for every fitting, and left feeling so happy every time. This bridal shop is the best in the area!

    I had a fantastic experience at Pearl when shopping for my wedding dress. When I was there, I felt like it was such a personal appointment and I got to try on dresses in a comfortable, relaxing environment. Ryan and her staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They were professional and suggested all different dresses to try until I found my perfect one! I would recommend Pearl bridal for anyone looking for a more personal wedding dress appointment!!

    As an Event Consultant for Log Cabin & Delaney House who has recommended Ryan at Pearl for years to oh so many brides, it came as no surprise that my experience with Pearl Bridal was nothing less that perfection. From the moment I walked in the doors, my “wedding dress anxiety” completely disappeared. It was even fun! The boutique is modern and trendy and has a super cool industrial feel as it is located in an old mill space; so serene and cool & very inviting. Ryan’s (well, her whole staff’s) cheery disposition and patience made the whole experience start to finish so pleasant. I would do nothing differently, and will continue to recommend Pearl to every bride I know. Thank you!!
