Ava's Bridal was AMAZING!!

I 100000% recommend wedding dress shopping at Ava's Bridal. It's a one stop shop for all your wedding dress shopping and alteration needs!

I went dress shopping at 3 different shops and didn't have a good experience until I finally came across Ava's Bridal. Sue made it the best experience, not only me, but my friend's as well. She has OUTSTANDING customer service and makes you feel so special and beautiful. She is so patient, kind, and talented. She is very considerate of your budget and pulls dresses in your style and price range. I can not say enough great things about this bridal shop. Sue goes above and beyond and was a dream to work with. You will not regret bridal gown shopping at Ava's Bridal with Sue!!!!

Personalized experience and total transparency

Sue has been a lifesaver! She really took the time to learn what I was looking for prior to my appointment. Unlike a lot of bridal stores in the area, Ava’s charges an appointment deposit. Let me tell you- it’s more than worth it! The amount of time Sue and her team put into each bride before you even step into the store shows. I'd been to other bridal salons, but the level of service at Ava’s can't be beat. They make you feel like THE bride instead of just a bride. If you’re looking for a one of a kind personalized service, Ava’s is the place for you!

Fairytale Experience

I always imagined when I went to find my dress it would be like the romantic movies. All your favorite people around you, trying on couture gowns , eating snacks and drinking champagne. We DID exactly THAT!! I posted on Dfw vendors wedding page looking for the magical experience for dress shopping & several people commented to try Ava’s along with her competitors in town.

Sue the owner is the nicest most compassionate bridal consultant I’ve ever dealt with. From the moment I decided to find my dress she asked all about me. She started making the wedding all about ME ! Now for me that’s exactly what I WANTED. Grade A customer service. She exceeded my expectations. Once I purchased the dress she allowed payment plan options. She even helped me get a custom veil made. Let me finance that as well. It can seem a bit overwhelming at first with all the fees. But truthfully I wouldn’t have gotten my dream dress without her business model. She understands the budgets of brides.

Ms. Tammy in alterations is beyond amazing. I wasn’t able to afford alterations in my budget until last minute. I called Sue begging to help me. I didn’t need much other than straps and an American bustle. Tammy was able to meet me at her house after hours measure me , size me and offered next day service. I was so shocked. I came back less than 3weeks later to pick it up before the wedding and it was perfect.

My overall experience was A MILLIONS STARS ⭐️!

These ladies were born to be in the Bridal Business. Cheers to you wonderful ladies from MRS. PLYMELL! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Phenomenal!

I cannot say enough good things about Ava’s Bridal Couture.. specifically speaking on Sue’s online Mastering Bridal Alterations course.

After following her on YouTube for years when i (finally!) got engaged i knew i wanted to be an Ava’s bride. Sue was always so knowledgeable and personanable. BUT i live in CA and the shop is is TX. Luckily for me they had this MBA course available and it’s been a God send! (So much so that Sue has a forever invite to Cali and our wedding!)

MBA course was easily accessible. Sue has been available to answer and and alllll of my many questions. I genuiney felt like i was the ONLY bride she was helping! That individualized service helped me save THOUSANDS on the alterations i was quoted. From TX she was able to help me!

Amazing Experience

I was very nervous to shop for a wedding dress because I am SO indecisive. Everyone here was amazing right from the beginning, only pulling dresses they knew I would like or would work best for me. I could not have found my dream dress without them! They made sure I felt completely comfortable in my dress, and they did incredible work on my alterations. These ladies are the absolute best, and made my experience so wonderful!!

Highly recommend

Excellent customer service. Were clear about what my appointment would look like and even called me the week before my appointment to get to know me more. Were mindful of my budget. Bought my dress here but did alterations elsewhere.

Bridesmaid Dresses

I made an Appt to try on wedding dresses here but just didn’t find “the one” there. However, my bridesmaids found theirs and they were stunning dresses!

Fast Alternations. Unbelievable Quality

I cannot say enough about the Ava's Bridal staff. I did not purchase my dress with Ava's and I was skeptical that my bridal shop could do the alteration work i wanted. I found Ava's on social media and was sooo impressed with the amount of knowledge Sue was providing for brides to be.
After watching youtube videos and reading articles on the website, I knew this was where I wanted to bring my gown!!
I drove over an hour to my fitting appointments to meet with Tammy! Tammy is AMAZING. She altered my straps, hemmed and bustled my dress and its beautiful! It only took her a few weeks and Im sad I wont be able to visit the Ava's team again!
Any brides to be nervous about dress altering PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out to Sue or Ava's on social media. You will be soooooo happy you left your dress in good hands!

Best Wedding Dress Shop in Fort Worth

I bought my dress from Ava’s back in February and everything has gone smoothly. I even ordered my bridesmaids dresses because of how great my bridal appointment went. I had the perfect dress for my wedding and it was all thanks to the amazing Ava ladies who helped me!!
