I knew before I even went to the boutique that this was the place I’d find my dress! From the start they were messaging me back fastly!

I found this gem online & I started following them, I had previously been to 5 different bridal boutiques including “Nikki’s Glits & Glam” in palm harbor, who had pressured me into putting down an unknown $100.00 deposit for a Sophia tolli gown to “start the ordering process.” I wasn’t even in love with the gown they were pressuring me to buy. I waited about 9 months and started searching for another boutique & that’s when I found Athena’s! From the start, they were messaging me back fast & answering all of my many questions about dresses they had. I am probably the most picky person when it comes to critiquing my body in a wedding dress but the first dress they gave me to try on was THE ONE. We tried many after that but we all knew that was going to be my dress. And I’m not one of those who believe “you’ll know when you know” but I DID! Donna is amazing, so down to earth and doesn’t give you any BS compliments or try to sway your opinion, she’s not pressuring, and she tells you what she recommends by listening to your wants & desires! The dress we picked was actually under my budget which was a bonus. Over all, my experience here was awesome and I can’t wait to go back for my fitting on my dream dress💕

"YES" to my dream dress!!

Athena’s was the perfect place to find the most beautiful wedding dress! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Donna and felt heard and understood regarding the vision for my dress. What I thought would be a casual day turned out to be a “YES” to my dream dress the same day! Thank you, Athena’s Boutique, for an incredible and smooth experience

My bridal experience

This was the first bridal shop I went to looking for my wedding dress. Within the first 45 minutes, I found my dream dress. The ladies are absolutely amazing and don’t push you to wear a dress you wouldn’t absolutely love.

I came to Athena’s from a friends recommendation and it was such an amazing time! I highly recommend this shop for those who are looking for their dress. I found my dress here on my first ever appointment and the support from everyone made it that much easier. I also got a very sweet present too!!

AMAZING Experience!

I had the most amazing experience with Donna. She was kind, patient, and helped me find the dress of my dreams. We were even able to come back a few days later with a few more of my friends to officially say yes! I was extremely nervous for the day since it was my first time trying on dresses. I did not have a lot of ideas of what I liked. Donna let me try on so many different dresses and she took every comment I made to help me find the dress I would like the most. I canceled every other appointment I had because not only I knew I found my dress, but I also knew no one else could make my experience as great as this was. I would 100% recommend coming here for your dress!

I said YES to the dress!

Gina was very helpful with narrowing down what I wanted in a dress. She was very professional and a great listener. I felt like she really understood what I was going for and we were able to find a dress that fit my needs! So happy I found my dress at Athena’s!

Exceptional Service From Start to Finish

I had a wonderful experience with this dress shop from start to finish. I found a dress I loved in my hometown but needed to purchase it while wintering in Florida. I searched everywhere for the exact dress with no luck, so I emailed a few salons. Michele reached out shortly after I sent my inquiry, which I really appreciated.

Although they didn’t have the dress in stock, Michele let me know they could order it and invited me to come in and browse their selection. I stopped in, and Michele was so helpful and patient. They have a beautiful selection of mother-of-the-bride dresses, but the original dress was still the one I had my heart set on.

Michele went above and beyond by tracking down the vendor and ordering the dress for me. I’m really looking forward to seeing it in person and working with their seamstress to make it fit perfectly. I’m so grateful for the excellent service and personal attention—highly recommend!

Amazing Experience at Athena’s!

Athena’s was the first boutique I had walked into. I expected to stop at several places to find “the one”. After consulting with the shop owner, she picked out an array of beautiful dresses that were both in and out of my comfort zone. The second dress that was picked out was the one! The employees were professional, kind, and ensured that this day was all about what I wanted. I would highly recommend this boutique to any bride!

Helpful and fun!

I had such a great time finding my wedding dress with my mom, and close girlfriends. Donna was so helpful and guided me with honesty and kindness. I had planned to visit two other bridal salons but I found The One and cancelled those two appointments! Athena’s has a great selection and you don’t feel pressured at all. As a matter of fact, my mom ended up finding her dress there as well!
