I found my dress at Bijou bridal in Sept 2018. After visiting 3 other boutiques with my mom and MOH, I was feeling a bit hopeless. I am a bit curvier, and everything I had tried on at that point did not wow me. Also, I work as plus size model/fit model, so I was really hoping to find a sample size dress since I am the right proportions for it. Bijou was our last stop of the day, and right when we walked in we were greeted warmly. They had a full wall of sample dresses, so that is where we started. My mom ended up pulling a Maggie Sottero Champagne beaded satin sample dress and once I put it on we were all in love (pictured).

I live in LA and my mom/hometown Chicago. So I had to work with Bijou to ship the dress for me as well. They were so helpful and always there to answer my questions. The dress got to me safe and sound for alterations!

Out of all the shops we visited, I felt the most comfortable at Bijou as well, thanks to associate I worked with. She was easy to talk to and could relate to the issues I was having with other dresses. Bijou overall felt like home. They were easy to work with, made us all feel comfortable and had a huge selection of dresses. Will never forget my experience there!

It is so easy to give Bijou Bridal a 5 out of 5 for responsiveness, professionalism, value, and flexibility for my bridal dress shopping experience. I didn't have a chance to call them and speak to someone ahead of time so I sent a rambled, question filled email before I made an appointment. I was expecting a) for them to take forever to respond and b) that they wouldn't have anything in my price range (was hoping to get a dress for $500 or less...I know, a very lofty goal!). Not only did they respond within an hour of me sending the email, but they answered all my questions and were flexible in helping me find a dress in my price range.

I made an appointment and during my appointment the wonderful experience with them continued. They were prompt, direct, and flexible with my price range. They weren't pushy and let me take the lead in picking dresses, while also providing consultative ideas based on what I wanted for the dress. Needless to say I found my dress during the session WITHIN my price range! Highly recommend this salon if you have a tighter budget, want to work with someone who's direct/flexible, and want a varied selection to choose from. Many thanks to Bijou Bridal!!!!!

Had a fantastic experience this weekend. Lauren was the best stylist and super patient with all of our requests. Highly recommend visiting!
