She’s knows her stuff!!!!

I wanted to thank you so much for helping me choose the perfect dress for my day! You really took the time and made me feel so comfortable at my appointment. Being a new mom with mommy body, I wasn’t too excited to do this and I was starting to feel like I’d never find “the dress”, but you totally proved me wrong and you made me feel like a million bucks. I appreciate you taking me a little early yesterday, and giving me your individualized attention, I was truly in good hands!! I just can’t say enough good things, and my family was very impressed with your knowledge and expertise! I’m looking forward to coming back for an accessories appointment, I wouldn’t trust anywhere else!!!!
P.S thank you for also being my hype woman!!!!

Bridal shop with heart

I could not be happier with my experience at Dressed in Love Bridal Suite. I am a wedding photographer based in Baltimore and had planned on getting my dress at one of the boutique shops in the area that I had a relationship with already. I wanted to include my mother in law and future step-daughter in the shopping process, and they are local to West Reading, so we made an appointment for Dressed in Love *just* so they could be a part of it, and then I'd planned to keep shopping in Baltimore.

Prior to my trip to Dressed in Love, I had visited one bridal shop in Baltimore and found a few maybe dresses but nothing I loved. The experience was also just fine.

From the jump, the experience at Dressed in Love was superior. Kyle was my stylist and she was absolutely amazing. She was kind and warm and inviting, and she really took the time to get to know who I was and what I was looking for. As someone who has photographed hundreds of weddings and is marrying someone who has ALSO photographed hundreds of weddings, it was really important to me to find a dress that was not something we'd seen 100x before, while also still being romantic and bridal. I have colored hair and tattoos and so I can pull off some more 'edgy' looks, but it was important to me that even if a dress had some edge to it, that the look was softened enough to still be pretty and delicate.

We ended up with the PERFECT dress, and I ended up buying it on the spot. Since my mom wasn't there for the buying trip, they had worked with me to plan for her to be there for when I picked up the dress, and making that a whole experience for her. Unfortunately, my grandmother wasn't well and my mom had to fly to Vermont the day before the appointment. Kyle ended up making that even more perfect when we FaceTimed my mom and grandmother in. Kyle pinned up my hair, put on my veil, and we tried on jewelry with the dress and my mom and grandmother both got to be a part of it. My grandmother isn't well enough to travel for the wedding, so this way to include her was so very special.

If you're looking for a great selection, a personalized experience, and a bridal shop with heart, look no further. DIL is it.
