    Never Felt More Beautiful

    Thank you Vera’s Bridal for helping me find my perfect dress. Margaret was amazing and listened to everything I wanted for my wedding dress. The whole process was smooth and hassle free. I drove 2hrs to Madison because of their size inclusivity and I’m so glad I did!

    Vera's was AMAZING!!!! I was so pleased with the service I received during the entire process from gown selection and then the fitting process as well.

    Leslie did a great job helping me find a dress that I not only loved, but flattered my shape as well! Various members of the Vera's staff also stopped by my room to check out what I was wearing. It was so nice to see everyone so involved and I felt like the most important person in the world at that moment :)

    During the fitting process, Rhonda helped me and was so great! There was quite a bit of altering to do on my dress (which was by all means my own fault, because I had gained a decent amount of weight between the time I ordered and the fitting). I was a bit apprehensive because I wasn't sure if the dress was going to be able to be altered enough to fit correctly. Rhonda and the rest of the staff addressed any fears I had and assured me that it would be no problem. Rhonda and her seamstresses did a fabulous job and it fits like a glove! I can't wait to wear it down the aisle!

    Thank you Vera's for making this whole process so much fun and so stress free! It means more than you could possibly imagine!

    You Won't Regret Vera's

    I brought my Vera's dress from WI all the way to the Rocky Mountains of CO :) Vera's was my first and only bridal appointment and it was the best experience ever! I'm not from Madison, driving almost 2 hours to be there and it was completely worth it. The store has 800+ gowns. My appointment was 2 hours - I tried on 10 dresses and the last one was the one! My MOH picked out the dress I ended up choosing! My consultant listened to everything I had to say about what I liked/disliked about dresses I tried on. I originally thought I wanted A-line/flowy, but I humored my MOH and tried on a more fitted gown and loved it, but my consultant suggested adding the removable tulle overskirt and that is what made me say yes to the dress! My consultant was down to earth, invested in my vision and happiness, and respected my budget. I ended up spending about $100 over budget (for the tulle overskirt!) but for my dream dress, it was worth it to me and I was not mad about it. I am lucky to not have had a single moment of dress regret as I bought it 2 years before my wedding.

    Everything I could’ve asked for and more

    I went dress shopping at another location the morning I went to Vera’s and I left feeling really disappointed. I decided to call Vera’s to see if they could get me in last minute, and they said yes, which I am so thankful for because Vera’s Bridal is amazing! They have SO MANY dresses, a big price range, and a wonderful staff. I was helped by Bridget, who was an absolute sweetheart and took time to get to know me, my fiancé, all the things I loved about a dress and she didn’t make me feel pressured when I didn’t absolutely love one. Her compliments and cheerful spirit made my shopping experience at Vera’s one I won’t forget and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

    Pleasant Experience, Helpful Staff

    Their teams is truly lovely. If you do not have a vision, they will help you find it! Every time they came with a dress and I had feedback, they were great about finding something that had the tweaks I was looking for.

    They did a great job clipping and adding pillows where needed to make sure we got a good picture of what the dress looked like. Other boutiques do a disservice to the dress by clipping poorly.

    Great holding period of 9 months which was just the amount of time I needed.

    I recommend anyone near the Southern Wisconsin area to stop by Vera's for an appointent!

    They truly care about YOU!

    Vera’s was the 4th bridal shop I visited while hunting for my dress. To say the 2 hour drive was worth it would be an understatement. I was so lucky to have Caitlin as my stylist. At other salons, I felt pressured to settle for dresses that I didn’t absolutely love. Caitlin assured me that we were going to find a dress that we didn’t have to fix in order for me to love. She was both respectful and realistic with my budget. She understood my vision better than I did myself & the first dress she put me in was the one! She was professional, confident, charismatic, and knowledgeable. She was so calm throughout the appointment which isn’t the vibe we experienced at other salons. I cannot recommend Vera’s enough. Caitlin you are incredible at your job!

    Great experience

    I had a great experience from the moment I entered the store. I told Bridget what I was looking for and she pulled exactly what I was envisioning trying on. It was also fun to look through the dresses and other accessories to try on some more things. I found my dream dress here and couldn't have been happier! The dress came in pretty quickly too and picking it up once it was delivered was also very easy.

    Highly recommend Vera's to anyone!

    An Absolute Dream

    Hands down THE place to go in Madison, or any of Wisconsin for that matter, for your bridal experience. Elle was my consultant and she knew exactly what she was doing. She catered to my styles both from my pre-appointment look book and during my appointment. She helped bring my Say Yes To The Dress dream to lift and I found my perfect gown.

    Amazing staff

    Vera’s was the absolute best. I had a great experience finding my dress. Dixie helped me during my appointment and she went above and beyond for me. Whenever I asked about a dress she would go out and search for it. She made me feel so beautiful in every dress but she knew by my facial expression when I found the one. She was so personable and I would highly recommend requesting her! Thank you to all the staff that helped as well.

    Can't say enough good things

    Vera's helped me find the most beautiful dress, after a very long adventure that involved another bridal shop selling their store sample 1 hour before my appointment, when I'd made the appointment specifically to see said store sample. Vera's was able to almost immediately get a loaner of my dress from the designer, was very accommodating of my scheduling needs, and was able to get me THE dress with time to spare. The whole store is very well set up, with nice big rooms for brides to try on dresses in some privacy, the consultants were all very professional and delightful to interact with, their communication on status of dresses was outstanding. For anyone within 2 hours of Madison, WI, I would beyond recommend Vera's!

    The Perfect Bridal Experience

    Vera's House of Bridals has a way of making every bride feel special and celebrated. With thousands of gowns to choose from, I found my perfect dress with my wonderful bridal consultant Eva.

    Both my dress and veil were delivered in their expected times and I was communicated with through every step of the process. I used one of their trusted seamstresses that was recommended to me once my dress had arrived. All staff was attentive and wonderful to work with.

    Thank you for the experience of becoming a bride and for making me feel so special and celebrated. I’m so honored to forever be a Vera’s Bride.

    Amazing dress shopping experience!

    Vera’s Bridal was my first experience trying on wedding dresses. I had absolutely no idea what to expect but it was a great experience. Tammy took us to our room & explained the process. She pulled a wide variety of gowns based on my preferences to help me narrow down what I wanted. We tried on A LOT of gowns. Funny enough, Tammy helped me to discover what I was actually leaning towards verses what I had thought I wanted. She also gave me some great advice on how to know if the dress was “the one.” She was so wonderful to work with – so genuine & down-to-earth. While I ended up going with a dress from another store (Vera’s did not carry the line) – I am so grateful for Tammy & her advice. I would highly recommend Tammy & Vera’s Bridal to anyone looking for a beautiful dress for their special occasion.

    size inclusive, huge inventory

    I had a rough time wedding dress shopping-- everywhere I went had no or almost no dresses in my size (16)... until I went to Vera's. They had a big selection in my size which made me feel so much better-- I'd been starting to feel that wedding dresses were not for women my size! I ended up buying an off-the-rack dress with a plan to add more coverage to the back-- and the seamstress I hired completely messed it up. I called Vera's in a panic 2 weeks before the wedding and they had me come in right away and Rhonda fixed it and made my dress beautiful. I am eternally grateful for her skill, professionalism, and kindness. Hopefully I'll never need another wedding dress LOL, but I highly recommend Vera's.

    Said Yes to the Dress at Vera’s

    My wedding dress shopping experience was one and done at Vera’s. I loved that I could go through their catalog in advance and pre-select a few of my potential favorites. I had a great experience trying on dresses, tried on close to 10 dresses and they made sure I tried a variety to be certain about the style I had in mind. Dress was ready well ahead of time and got awesome service and advice when picking it up and trying it on before taking home. Loved my “classic and clean” dress! (Style B11151)

    I recommend Vera's; I HIGHLY recommend Tammy and hope she's having a great day today.

    I purchased my dress here in mid-December of 2020. Tammy was my consultant, and I could not write enough wonderful things about her and my overall Vera's experience. I described the general feel and vibe I was looking for in my dress, and Tammy pulled winner after winner. She totally understood my style AND body type, and everything I tried on was beautiful. The only dress I didn't like on me was one that I picked out! This experience made finding MY dress even more exciting, because Tammy helped me feel the difference between dresses which I liked and looked good on me and the dress I wanted to wear when I marry my fiancé. Shopping with her really felt like shopping with a second mom. Tammy gave me kind, deferential, but helpful feedback which made the dress search completely stress-free. She also never pressured me to buy at any point and reminded me that I could always come back, which was so different from the pressure I had come to dread at bridal appointments. When I decided on my (gorgeous, unique, absolutely incomparable dress), she spent an additional half-hour testing out different veil styles with me. After we purchased, I inquired about bridesmaids appointments and Tammy took us right downstairs to the bridesmaids floor and put my little sister in the stunning navy blue velvet number that I've since selected for my bridal party. Start to finish, an unbelievable experience. I was so taken care of here, and buying the perfect dress in such a stress-free, welcoming environment was a bright spot to round out a very bleak year. Thank you Tammy, and thank you Vera's, for listening to me and making me feel beautiful! I cannot wait to show my future daughters photos of my wedding dress and tell them about the wonderful time I had selecting it.

    Vera’s is hands down the best place to find your dream dress. They have styles and budgets for all brides. I ended up wearing 2 dresses between my first wedding and wedding reception after COVID restrictions lifted, and I found both at Vera’s! Both consultants were amazing and went out of their way to help me find exactly what I was looking for!

    Best Shopping Experience!

    I cannot recommend Vera's enough. This was the only bridal salon I went to and it was all I needed. Tammy was amazing at helping me find the exact dress my heart wanted - and it had pockets! I booked the Luxe Appointment, so we had the entire store to ourselves, which was fantastic since the selection of styles is incredible! I'm not from Madison, but going to Vera's was 100% worth the 2 hour drive.

    10/10 would recommend!

    From the original appointment through my wedding day, I was so impressed with Vera's selection, customer service, and my dress! My sister also bought her dress at Vera's for her June 2017 wedding, and my best friend and I are shopping for hers this weekend! I would recommend Vera's to anyone!

    Tori with Vera's was great! She helped me find my wedding dress, and then we came back for another visit with her again, to find my mother's dress too! They really make you feel like the only person there when you're dress shopping. It was so comfortable and professional!

    Amazing and Accommodating!

    I to go to Vera’s due to their large inventory and the ability to bring multiple people with me. When I arrived the front desk was very polite and allowed me to look at some dresses while I waited for lovely Erika to help me. She was so nice, patient and energetic! With having so many people in the room she made sure my opinion on the dresses were heard. Another thing I loved was that I didn’t have a time limit so didn’t feel rushed! I was able to try on soo many dresses and narrowed down to 2. She then encouraged me to try on both and walk around in different lighting asking different questions to verify I made the right choice for me. After I decided on dress and veil, I was sized, easily purchased and left. Afterwards when I came down from my high of finding my dress I was unsure of my order and called. They were so amazing! They told me they have my best interest and want me to feel comfortable with my decision and we’re able to pause my order! I then was able to come back in and try on my dress again! Jasmine helped me out this time and she was just wonderful and understanding! I did get the dress and I am soooo happy with with my whole experience! I’m going to recommend everyone to go there!

    This "off-beat" bride found her dress and more at Vera's!

    I can only speak to the process of trying on gowns and finding the right one! The dress I purchased is ordered and will arrive later this year. I will update this review when the process is complete.

    First thing's first. We arrived at 10:30am on a Thursday after the Christmas holiday. There were cars in the parking lot and definitely other brides-to-be in the store, but we were greeted right away and my name was taken for a walk-in appointment. The first floor has many sample designer gowns to look at but I only browsed for maybe 3-4 minutes until Liz whisked me away upstairs. I'm so impressed that we could walk-in to a place this reputable!

    Liz was patient, helpful, courteous and fun! I immediately felt comfortable enough to be honest about what I am looking for in a dress and vulnerable about my lack of knowledge for bridal. Liz approached my search for a dress with all of her attention and care and took the time to work with and get to know my team as well (my mother and my maid of honor). She showed us to our spacious, clean and cute dressing room via the back room where all the dresses are. I appreciate how she went the extra mile to include experiential details throughout our visit. Tammy and Vera were also a big part of my visit to Vera's House of Bridals. Yes, THE Vera! When Tammy had the time to step in to help me choose 1 of 2 of my top picks, she did. I almost cried tears of joy and am surprised I didn't!

    After all was said and done (including cute pics with the team), we had spent 3 hours at Vera's but it felt like it flew by! I never felt rushed and I really enjoyed my experience. Fun fact: I thought I would just drop in to "look" and figured I would find my dream dress in chicago... Liz, Tammy and Vera totally proved me wrong! I'm so excited to visit for my fitting appointment and to see Liz and the crew again! Don't miss out on Vera's House of Bridals. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you find!
