Review for July 2025 Wedding

I’m originally from NY so I always thought I’d go to NYC to shop for bridal gowns. I wanted to try on gowns while my mom was visiting and ended up finding the one at Bridal Beginning. The seamstress Sieda (I may be spelling this wrong) was incredible. The gown fit me like a glove and her work was just incredible. I’ve never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day which was all thanks to her

Wonderful wedding dress experience!

I had such an amazing experience at Bridal Beginning! It was my second dress store of the day and I was a little anxious after the first as I didn’t find anything I really liked. Well Bridal Beginning changed that for me! Marisa helped me that day and she was nothing but AMAZING! She was full of energy and was so good at listening to what I was looking for! She helped me try on multiple dresses and listened to my likes and dislikes of the dresses. With that, she was able to find my dream dress!! I fell in love with it as soon as I put it on!! And then even more so when she took me out into the front room to see the sparkles in the natural light! It was perfect! My sister, mom, and mother in law accompanied me, we had such an amazing time that my sister later came back to find her dream dress with Marisa as well!!

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! ❤️

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!

Wonderful Experience!

Marisa, and Bridal Beginning, provided the absolute best experience for finding my wedding dress. From the minute I walked in Marisa was energetic, welcoming, and immediately found me my dream dress. She made the buying process easy and stress free, and was even able to help me decide on the perfect veil to go with my dress. Highly recommend Bridal Beginning to any bride!

Wonderful store to find your dream dress!

Bridal Beginning was an absolutely amazing experience. My associate was friendly and wonderful in selecting dresses I might like. It took 12 dresses and 2 trips for me to decide, and she was extremely patient and helpful each step of the way. Absolutely amazing. This store has many dresses that I feel I did not see at other bridal stores. If you are looking for a unique dress, I would highly recommend.

Wonderfully kind

Went to Bridal Beginning with a specific dress in mind. The consultants were so helpful in understanding my vision and helped customize straps for the dress. The salon itself was absolutely stunning and gorgeous with a variety of pricing for gowns. They kept within my budget of $2,000.
