Beautiful wedding dress & supportive consultant

I had an amazing experience at Bridal Beginning! Sara helped me find the perfect Watters dress for my wedding. It was a style I hadn't expected to choose, but she skillfully pulled a variety of dresses to help me figure out which elements I liked best and we ended up with the perfect dress (and veil). I absolutely recommend Bridal Beginning for your wedding dress shopping!

Destination Boutique

I cannot say enough good things about the Bridal Beginnings experience and specifically my consultant, Kristen. This is a boutique worthy of the travel if out of town. I am from Pittsburgh but living in New York and went all around both cities trying on dresses. I went to 11 appointments over 5 months and tried on at least 100 dresses, including 2 appointments at the infamous Kleinfelds. Let me tell you, these appointments didn’t hold a CANDLE to Bridal Beginnings. It’s a better experience, better dress selection, and provides a more personalized experience. On top of that, the consultants are world class. Kristen was so informative, would point out design elements to help me make a decision, perfectly translated my (terribly described) vision and somehow made it come to life in a one of a kind dress. I truly would not have been able to make a decision without Kristen. On top of that, she also helped my sister who is also engaged find her dress, and somehow made us both feel so beautiful and so special through our experiences. She navigated a tricky situation with professionalism and grace. 100000/100. Would highly recommend. Thank you Kristen and BB!! ❤️

Happy 2023 Bride

Bridal Beginning is simply just, the best there is! I had such a lovely time looking for my dream wedding dress with the help of Marisa, which only took us 45 minutes to find!!! She had everything ready to go from my portal and made me feel super welcomed. There was one dress in particular that I had on my portal, and it showed in store but was still boxed up in the basement as it literally arrived the day before. She went down and searched for the dress, found it, and brought it to me. The Maggie Sottero dress was so gorgeous. As soon as I put it on (first to try it on may I add) I cried!!! I just knew this was my dress that I was going to marry my best friend in. Not only did I light up, but so did my sisters, mom and Marisa.

When my dress arrived in store they let me know immediately and booked an appointment for me to come in. I also purchased my veil as well. Each appointment was nice and easy. The entire experience was so fun with Bridal Beginning and I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Thank you! ❤️
