Lovely Experience!

Another wonderful experience for wedding dress shopping. Booking an appointment does cost $25 for your first time. It says there is a $75 cancelation when first booking the appointment but the follow up emails said, "$50 Cancellation Fee in the case of a no show or cancellation within 72 hours prior to your scheduled appointment time". The store has the main entry with the front desk in the middle , seating on both sides, then kind of splits with two sides. The right side has two rows of wedding dresses, with 1 dressing rooms on the back left, and in the very back a full 360 mirror. The right said had one row of wedding dresses on the left and more dressing rooms on the right. The dressing rooms are very large size, plenty of room to try and store dresses. I work with Ashlyn and Alaina who was shadowing Ashlyn. Prior to my appointment I looked on their website and favored a few dresses. So upon getting to my appointment they were able to start pulling them. The dresses I tried we all beautiful and gorgeous. She also ensured me that I had time to order which others places told me I was very close to running out of time. The dress I loved she told me I could add a liner and even pick different sleeve add ons. She said a lot of dresses have options to custom to your style. I didn't say yes to any dresses just because I am still browsing all of my options. But the experience was really great and would recommend. Ashlyn and Alaina were great to work with. Patient, kind, made me feel at ease, and super helpful.

Dream come true!

I had a FANTASTIC experience purchasing my dress here. I had the pleasure of working directly with Alex, the owner, & she was phenomenal! Alex stayed under my desired budget with every dress and matched my veil perfectly. I also purchased all of my accessories here and looked EXACTLY how I envisioned on my special day. Beautiful shop with beautiful dresses, and beautiful people!
