I went to The Something Blue Shoppe for all of my prom dresses and I knew as soon as I got engaged, that , that was where I would find my perfect wedding dress. They have an amazing selection and their staff is extremely helpful.

I did find the perfect dress at The Something Blue Shop - however, the shop ordered the wrong size and made no apologies, just “we will fix it”; in the end, my dress was gorgeous, but I didn’t know what my final dress looked like until the week of my wedding (alterations that I had to pay for, of course, approximately $200.00) – which was unnecessary stress on my part. Also, they told me when I ordered my $1200 dress that they would call me when it came in – I waited and finally called them, it was in the store. Then I ordered my $400.00 headpiece and $250.00 veil from them. The absolute only reason that I bought the $400.00 headpiece was because I was told that the particular brand that I was purchasing could be sent back to the manufacturer and be made into a piece of jewelry – free of charge. A month after my wedding, I went to send the headpiece back to the manufacturer, thinking that I would take it to the bridal shop and they would take care of things for me… because I had never talked to the manufacturer before, I thought it was the only way to go about having my headpiece turned into jewelry. I called the bridal shop to see when I should bring it in. They said they didn’t handle anything with the headpiece following the wedding and that I would have to check the manufacturer’s website for further instructions. I thought that was extremely weird and was a little upset that I was going to have to take the time and money to ship the headpiece; however I checked the manufacturer’s website for the shipping instructions only to find out that the restringing process was going to cost me at least another $100.00. I called The Something Blue Shop back, thinking this HAS to be a mistake – the absolute only reason my father allowed me to purchase the overly expensive headpiece was because we were told that at no additional charge it would be made into something I could wear on a daily basis. I was told by The Something Blue that I MUST have been mistaken, that none of their associates would have ever said that, and more excuses… I then told them that I had not been happy with the customer service I had received throughout the whole wedding process; I brought attention to all the mistakes that had been made with ordering the wrong size dress, which I was told “it is not our fault that you could not fit into the dress that we ordered you.” After being put on hold numerous times, never being told “I’m sorry”, being passed around to numerous associates, I finally just hung up for fear that I would blow a vein from being so angry! It is sad that approximately $2200.00 spent does not mean anything to The Something Blue Shop and does not warrant decent customer service.

The Something Blue Shop was a cute little shop. Lindsey was the girl who helped me, and she was very sweet. She helped me to try on the dresses and helped with information on slips, corsets, etc. They ordered my dress for me in the size and colour I wanted, and hemmed it for me to the right length. Overall, the pricing was a little high for dress and hemming, but the atmosphere and people were pleasant and they had the perfect dress, so price wasn't really an issue.

I got my wedding dress from here and I loved it! It was half as much as others I was looking at, but a much better quality than chain stores, such as David's Bridal. The women were very helpful and I was able to get my dress, veil, headpiece, and shoes for the wedding day. I also received half off of the invitations for buying from there. The only problem I had w/ invitations was they sent the wrong envelopes and after I called, I had the correct ones w/in a week, free of charge. I highly recommend going here for a dress or stationary. They have many different dresses and prices to choose from

I got my bridesmaids dresses here. All of them ended up being to big for the girls, so they all had to be altered. If you know you're a size 6 don't let them order you a size 8 or 10, get a 6!!! Overall, prices were good and they had a lot to choose from!

The Something Blue Shoppe has gorgeous dresses and everyone is friendly, however, we did have trouble with payments. Payments that were made were not recorded, so they tried to charge us again. They did find our payments eventually and everything ended up great.

Most of those ladies that work there were really rude. The only time I got good service was before I started to pay for my dress. I must say I should of had them alter the dress, but hein sight is only 20/20. They were really pushy about getting the brides maid dresses ordered, but took 3 weeks to order them. I ordered my dress in September, didn't receive it until March. The weren't that helpful. And near the time of the wedding, I was just about ready to ask for my money back.

Wonderful experience! By far the easiest part of my entire wedding planning process. I love that they don't require an appointment - you can come whenever it's most convenient for you and they don't set a time limit or a limit on how many dresses you can try on. They also let you see their entire stock of dresses! There are lots of shops that only let you try on 4-5 dresses and limit the dresses you can see. I ordered my gown, veil, headpiece (which I later had turned into a beautiful bracelet by the manufacturer), shoes and invitations from them. They were beyond nice and attentive every time I was there - they made you feel like you were the only person in the shop! Everything came in on time and correctly! I have recommended this shop to everyone and will continue to do so - I now live in California and was married almost two years ago but still rave about it!

The staff and service were wonderful. The woman who helped me remembered me by name the 2nd time I went back which was several months after my first visit. The alterations they did on my dress were wonderful and I would recommend this shop to anyone.

I think this is probably the best place in North Alabama (or maybe the entire state!) to get a bridal dress. You can look around at all the other places in the area, but chances are, "The Dress" is going to be here. Save yourself the stress and headache and just go straight to this store. No need to shop around. (I learned that the hard way!)
