My Dream Dress!

Yanique and her staff were amazing through the entire process and truly helped me find my dream dress! This was the first place I went and didn't need to do any searching after! They were accommodating when I mixed up my final fitting appointment and made sure that everything was perfect before I left. I love the fact that my dress was made right there and not shipped from somewhere else. Highly recommend!

Stress free Dress Shopping for the Bride, made possible by our Stylist Kimberly!

Our stylist Kimberly was a delight to work with. Her manners, attitude and knowledge supported us in having a stress-free environment which allowed for my daughter to pick an amazing dress that she will wear this coming October.

Beautiful Wedding Dresses!

My husband and I got married on 9/4/21 and for my wedding, I was really wanting a boho gown to fit the boho theme of the wedding. From the beginning, I worked with Kimberly at Dreamers and Lovers, and she was absolutely incredible and helpful! Kimberly made the dress buying process such a breeze. One of the best things about this store is that they include alterations in their price! I was so happy with my dress choice and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day!

Amazing beautiful wedding dress

We got engaged last March while on a photo tour in India and came home to a strange new world. In June we decided to set a wedding date for early September. We each had been married before and are old so figured what's the point of waiting for the pandemic to get under control?

The first thing I did was look for wedding dresses online, something I wouldn't ever have imagined in a thousand years. However, Dreamers & Lovers website showed me the perfect dress for me, the Haily Mini Lace dress.

Given the short time until the wedding, I couldn't try one on ahead of time. I paid for it to be made quickly. I sent in measurements and quipped if the numbers brought to their mind the form of an orangutan that indeed I wasn't funny shaped and to call me. The next business day they called concerned because the general size I had indicated didn't seem right with the numbers I sent them. I explained that I have swimmer shoulders so always have to have larger size than the rest of me would need.

The dress arrived quickly and it was packaged nicely. OMG I fell in love with it when I put it on and it fit perfectly!

I then asked if they could make a few double layered masks using the same wedding lace and they did that without any qualms even though it wasn't something they carried. I got to give my mom one, she couldn't be at the wedding because of the pandemic. She really appreciated the gesture.

We had a covid appropriate wedding, each household sat separately and we had individual wedding cakes (not cupcakes) and bubbly for each table. Since we couldn't have a reception, we had a unity ceremony of a dance. That dress rocked with its flowing movement in the dance and showed off my long legs which my husband really appreciated.

Because we couldn't have a reception, our friends decorated our boat and we went from port to port seeing households individually one at a time. We called it the Wedding and Bubbles tour. That Hailey dress wowed folks over and over with its perfectness.
I cant wait to have our reception finally and wear that gorgeous dress again.

I can't recommend Dreamers & Lovers more strongly. Fabulous, beautiful dress, great customer service, good communication, prompt and delivered right on time...what more could you ask from a wedding dress company?

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Yanique!!

I first fell in love with Yanique's dresses while searching through gowns online. There was something about her style that spoke to me. I tried on soooo many gowns leading up to my appointment at Dreamers & Lovers, but none felt like me. I knew I would find my dress at her shop and I was right!! They're all so gorgeous and unique and comfortable!! But when I tried on Hayley, it was meant to be.

And then there was the added bonus of having the dress designer there with me!! Yanique is incredible and smart and funny and kind. Her store is truly a reflection of her. Beautiful and effortless. No hassle. It was intimate and straight-forward and fun. I had my appointment the Saturday before everything shut down and it was such a comfort to know that her shop was local, the dress would be made mere miles away, and that Yanique was there for all of it.

When I called unsure about the sleeves, she assured me that I could think it over and make the decision during the final fitting. When I decided I wanted a custom blush liner, she went downtown to the fabric district to find different options for me.

I cannot express how thankful I am for her talent and caring and amazing customer service. I felt like I was trying on dresses with an old friend who just so happens to be cool as all get out.

Wearing the dress on the day, I felt absolutely beautiful. EVERYONE loved it!! I've received compliment after compliment. The dress truly made our day. It is so special. It was feminine and whimsical (even while I dragged it through the dirt and stomped around in my tall lace-up combat boots). The photos are phenomenal!! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and I felt so beautiful thanks in large part to that stunning gown.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Yanique!! I am so excited that I get wear my dress again in June when we do the full family party (after some thorough dry cleaning)!!

My absolute dream dress!

I randomly found D&L on Instagram and was totally bummed when I went to their website and saw they were in CA. Then I saw they did a try on at home program and was PUMPED! Especially because the whole "try on a million dresses in front of your family and friends" thing......... EW. NOOO thanks. I live in STL so this seemed perfect. I saw the Samantha dress and just knew it was my dress. I chose that and a "back up" to try on at home and the process was super easy. The dresses came quickly and were a little big on me but I could tell once it fit right, I'd LOVE it. My mom was skeptical about the whole process (a little old school hehe) so that made me a little nervous overall but I am SO glad I went through with it. I sent them all the measurements they requested and literally needed NO alterations!!!! I had to use some boob tape and fashion tape to keep things in place but that's it!!! The one thing I will say for anyone going through the process is that I got kind of nervous after paying and sending the measurements because there really was no communication back and forth but I'm sure that's because they are super busy and it's nothing to worry about! HIGHLY recommend!!!

A perfect wedding dress experience for my elopement

I wasn't comfortable this summer shopping in bridal salons for safety reasons so I went in search of vendors that allowed home try-on. For a very reasonable fee Dreamers & Lovers sent me two samples of my choosing, one of which was going to be perfect for my elopement. After consulting with them about lining color options and a minor alteration request to shorten the dress, they were able to turn around a new dress for me in under a month! That allowed me several works to work with a local seamstress friend who further altered the dress to fit me perfectly. These are not normal times and kudos to D&L for having the right business model and excellent customer service to make wedding dress purchasing a lovely experience. And I haven't even mentioned their gorgeous dresses themselves! Even though I was eloping I wanted something long and romantic, with a little bit of a train. I was able to tick all of those boxes along with it being lightweight and very comfortable outdoors in summer. The lace and crochet work and overall dress quality were fantastic.
My husband and I hope to have a belated reception once it's safe to do so, and I am already looking forward to the chance to wear the dress again!

Dress of my dreams.

I was reluctant at to purchase a dress online. But, when I saw the image of my dress on the website, I knew that was my dress. I took a chance and I’m so glad I did.

From start to finish, Dreamers and Lovers was easy to get ahold of and they were responsive to my emails. They sent a sample dress to try on and followed up with my exact measurements to make sure everything was perfect.

I worked with Jen to make a few customizations to my dress. The end result was better than what I’d hoped.

The lace felt luxurious and was like a dream to wear. It was beautifully made to fit my body exactly. My dress fit like a glove.

I loved that it wasn’t a “cookie cutter” dress. It was exactly what I would have designed if I had done it on my own.

The compliments I’ve received, back up my feelings. These dresses are stunning and make you feel like a million dollars!

I’m so thankful I found them!

♥️

Absolutely fantastic!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I was very particular in what kind of dress I wanted...something simple yet elegant, bohemian and comfortable. I knew I wanted a dress from Dreamers and Lovers as soon as I saw them! It was hard to pick my favorite from their lovely collection but I ended up choosing a custom fitted Valentina dress. My experience was wonderful from my first appointment to the final fitting and pickup! The quality of their dresses is absolutely amazing and their team is lovely to work with, the dress fit perfectly and was so comfortable. Truly the dress of my dreams!! Thank you Dreamers and Lovers!
