    I had a wonderful experience at The Bride to Be. Not only did I leave with a dress ordered, but I felt like I found THE dress that made me feel beautiful inside and out. Kelsey was my "helper" and she did a wonderful job allowing me to freely roam the store and pick out dresses that I thought would work. My family and I ended up liking more dresses than we thought! Kelsey had the alterations extraordinaire give me peace of mind that she could make magic happen with my dream dress. I went in to the bridal boutique with an open mind and left with a beautiful dress that I can only describe as one-of-a-kind. The first thing my family and I said was that we loved the dress in the window display. Kelsey gladly took it off the mannequin and helped me into the beautiful dress. The staff was very patient with me while I debated whether I wanted to bite the bullet or not. The incentive of a discounted price of buying the dress that day helped me make my final decision. Overall, I would recommend The Bride to Be because they helped me choose the Dress for Me!

    Thank you ladies, Amanda O.

    Everything about my experience was absolutely PERFECT from the moment I walked in the door to the moment I walked out! My bridal consultant Courtney made the experience that much more over the top with her knowledge and expertise. Their dress selection has something for everyone and they are sure to keep it in your budget! I fell in love with my dress the moment I put it on my body! It was so much more than I dreamed of. The feelings and emotions I had when I walked out of the dressing room were expressed all over my face from my enormous smile to the tears that filled my eyes and ran down my cheeks! Not to mention all of my family members crying too! Courtney, the staff and my family helped me feel absolutely stunning and say "Yes to the dress" in a matter of 30 minutes! I have never felt more sure about my decision and my experience. I would highly highly recommend this bridal boutique!!!

    Bride to Be was absolutely amazing. They had dresses that we're timeless and classic, but still right on trend. They were extremely attentive and accommodating towards me and my tastes. The staff was lovely, the store was lovely, it was all around a great experience!

    Erika was so helpful on both occasions I visited the store - once with my mom and aunts, and the second time when I was coming in by myself to confirm that I had, in fact, found the dress! She was able to pull styles that matched what I was looking for, and when it came down to deciding, was able to do some digging to find out that I could custom-order the train I wanted on my gown. All in all a great experience, and I can't wait to see my dress when it comes in this May!

    I had "the perfect dress" in my mind and had searched various shops around the Fort Wayne area to find it. Everyone dress shop told me that the dress I had been showing them through my Pinterest page was not possible unless I wanted to spend $1,000 or more dollars and that would still involve some compromise. I went to the Bride to Be on a whim with no knowledge about it. I found a dress on their clearance rack that I liked, but didn't love (it was also a size 10 and I am a size 4). I tried it on just to see. After trying it on, I showed the consultants the dress I wanted on my Pinterest and after taking a glance at it they said that it was completely possible with the dress I had chosen off the clearance rack. Soon, the dress I liked was turned into the dress I loved from my pin. The consultants were AMAZING and were determined to make my dress everything I wanted it to be. They were awesome to work with and made the entire stress of the day go away. I highly recommend them to any future brides.

    I found my dress at The Bride to Be in November. I already had my eye on a dress that I saw on the internet and was able to check with them if they were going to carry it when I scheduled my appointment. The layout of the store is very comfortable and the sales staff was helpful and friendly. I was helped into and out of dresses and style suggestions (for tailoring and accessorizing) were made but not pushed. I came with some family and bridesmaids and we all had a lot of fun and I walked out having ordered my dream dress. I am planning my wedding for a distance and they've also been wonderful working with my schedule for when I'll be in town, so I can get my fittings and everything done conveniently.

    My experience at The Bride to Be was everything I ever wanted! My consultant was so kind and encouraging, she was just great!! They have a large selection of dresses and there were some very unique dresses too. It also feels much more private than some of the other dress shops I went to. The dressing rooms are large and have a mirror so you can view yourself in your dress before walking out of the dressing room. I would definitely reccomend this dress shop to any bride looking for their dream dress, I found mine on the first visit!

    I found my dress at the bride to be. The atmosphere is beautiful and elegant and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The quality of these dresses were much nicer than ones I have tried at other places and they still had a good selection of dresses in my budget!

    The day I found my dress at The Bride to Be was one to be remembered. Erika was so helpful and easy to work with. I had an image in mind, and she pulled items that were similar to my image when we finally found "the one" that I was looking for. I recently picked up my dress and fell in love with it all over again when I tried it on for the first time in my size. I highly recommend visiting The Bride to Be when looking for you dress. Five stars to The Bride to Be!

    Oh my lanta I still can't believe the dress I purchased! Ladies, please, go to this bridal boutique if you want to have a fantastic experience and find an unbelievable dress at an affordable price. I did not make an appointment but instead just walked in early in the morning during the week and Shawna was there to help me immediately. I did not know what I wanted in my dress at all so we walked through the racks and told her different things I did and did not like. Then we pulled about eight dresses and the show began! Shawna was always focused on me and giving me different things that I wanted with a dress, such as jewelry, belts, ect. There was one dress in particular that I loved on the clearance rack, but it just wasn't there yet. Shawna asked if she could pull another for me and it was STUNNING. She had learned what I loved and hated in dresses and the dress she pulled is the one I walked out the door with same visit, and she was SO respectful of my budget!
    The dress was originally $2800 on clearance for $1500, and with an anniversary sale going on, I got a deal that was just as stunning as the dress!! I am so excited to return for alterations and get it fitted, I have heard wonders about the seamstress and am thrilled to meet her!

    Overall:
    Great customer service and personal attention
    Great price ranges available, ladies, anything from $400 and up was on the rack!
    Attention to detail
    Wonderful selection on bridal gowns, jewelry, bridesmaids dresses....

    I couldn't be happier with the service I received at The Bride to Be!! Shawna helped me find my perfect dress, which was actually a combination of a strapless dress and lace overlay jacket from another dress! I also ordered all of my bridesmaids dresses from The Bride to Be. Their expertise and quality of dresses is what brought me back and I am so pleased with my choice!!

    I had gone to many bridal boutiques before I made an appointment at The Bride to Be, and thank goodness I did. Working with Brooke was one of the best experiences I have had thus far planning for my wedding, she felt more like a friend rather than a sales consultant. She and I got along great and laughed the whole time trying to find my perfect dress...and we found it! I'm so grateful to Brooke and the professional staff at The Bride to Be, they really made me feel comfortable with such a big decision. I would recommend this boutique to anyone - the girls are attentive, friendly, helpful and they know exactly what they are talking about. I can't wait for my fiance to see my walking down the aisle.

    Truly enjoyed my experience at The Bride To Be. I had a private bridal appointment and loved experiencing my special bridal moment with only my bridesmaids, mother, and future mother-in-law. Staff was professional and helpful, and also made the experience fun! I found the perfect dress during my appointment and was able to apply a portion of the private appointment fee towards my gown purchase, which was a plus! All of my contact with The Bride To Be, either phone or email, has been friendly and timely. I will be recommending The Bride To Be to any future brides I know!

    The Bride to Be was the first bridal salon I went to when looking for my gown. I loved the selection of dresses, the atmosphere, and the staff is amazing. The separate dressing rooms and private mirrors made the experience that much more special to me. I fell in love with the perfect dress and veil within an hour, with the help of Kacy who helped out in the dressing room (which my guests appreciated)! The staff kept in contact throughout the ordering and shipping process and I have my first fitting this week!

    I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The staff is amazing and very helpful! Kelsey did such a great job at helping me narrow down my favorite dresses to finally THE one :) I was very relieved to have had such a great time trying on dresses, wedding planning can be stressful. Finding your wedding dress should not be, I highly recommend The Bride To Be!

    I dreaded going dress shopping because, I'm picky and I hate being rushed-especially if I'm trying to find "the dress"! Plus, I was looking for a blush colored wedding dress and couldn't find many options in my area...until I looked on The Bride To Be picture gallery on their website. It had many beautiful, blush colored dress options. Kelsey was patient, helpful, and I loved how reassuring she was about my decision. I had to try on an ivory dress and "imagine" the blush color, but they were so helpful and extremely excited that I chose the "oatmeal" version of the dress. I'm confident my dress will be 'one of a kind'-which is exactly what I wanted.

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would. They are truly the best place in Fort Wayne for a bridal boutique. Was treated like I was the only bride in the area getting married. They listened to what I wanted and helped me find the DRESS!!! I continue to save money there and they have great customer service. I can't wait to go back and pick up my dress!! AMAZING VALUE and AMAZING PEOPLE!!!

    My experience at The Bride To Be, was everything I could have hoped for. The staff was extremely professional and helpful. Shawna was very knowledgeable and listened carefully to what I was looking for. She also made it easy to narrow down the choices which made saying YES to the dress so easy! I loved everything about choosing a dress at The Bride To Be.

    I had a wonderful experience finding my perfect dress at The Bride to Be. Shawna was so helpful and listened to what I was looking for and focused on what I wanted and not necessarily what the other people with me wanted. She was able to make what could have been a very overwhelming experience become a very positive one! I loved working with her and I'm so excited to work with her again soon for my first fitting!
