I found my dream dress!

I found my dream dress at Bridal and Formal! After visiting four other shops, this was the one that truly made the experience easy and enjoyable. The staff was wonderful — never pushy and always kind and patient.

I worked with Bobbi, and she was amazing! Kind, funny, and honest — she really listened to what I wanted and helped me find the perfect dress without ever trying to oversell. She made me feel comfortable and confident through the whole process.

I’m so thankful for the entire team at Bridal and Formal for helping me find the dress of my dreams! Highly recommend! 💍✨

Amazing bridal salon!

I had the pleasure of working with Mariah and she was a ROCK STAR! I was so nervous about dress shopping and she walked me through every single second of it. She really worked to understand what I liked and didn't like, and eventually, she pulled a certain Maggie Sottero dress that was THE DRESS. She helped me navigate my thoughts and feelings, gave me the space and time I need to process everything, and helped me visualize what my wedding dress would look like.

AMAZING I’ll never go anywhere else

I came in today to try on dresses just to see what I like and from the beginning the staff was so welcoming to me. I got to work with Kathleen who was so freaking nice and didn’t make me feel bad about myself or pressure me to try anything that wasn’t my style. She found a dress that’s absolutely perfect for my wedding! I can’t wait to go back and get the dress! Won’t go anywhere else 💕

Great shopping experience!

Bridal and Formal was a great place to find a wedding dress. Kelly and the other consultants were all super kind and helpful. Kelly quickly directed me to dresses that were within my budget. They had both made-to-order and off-the-rack dresses at a range of price points. I tried on dresses at probably 7 or more shops. I ended up finding my dream gown there for $500 and took it home the same day.
