The only boutique you’ll need to visit

If you’re looking for the place that has your dream wedding gown, this is it. It was a one shop and done for us, and our experience truly could not have been better. I ended up buying the first dress I tried on- Amanda’s pick based on my inspo board.

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Amanda and Ashley. My fiancé and I both needed to try on wedding gowns but wanted to keep the gowns we were trying on private from one another. The amount of time and effort these two wonderful women put in to making us feel comfortable and respecting our wishes was so significant. We felt welcomed and loved right away. And we both found our perfect gowns (which is especially impressive if you consider my fiancé has not worn a dress in 10 years).

I am plus size, and was very concerned about both finding a place that had samples I could fit in to, and a place that would help me feel confident in my body. This was that place. Their selection for my body size was ample and Amanda was the perfect hype woman. She has the talent, callouses, and a lifetime of experience to make sure the dress you are looking at looks great on you and will make sure you know you look beautiful. I am so grateful to have worked with her as a plus size woman. Our wedding is still a year out so I cannot share my gown pictures yet, but know she found me the perfect dress!

To Amanda and Ashley, you are wonderful. Thank you for making such a stressful situation into some of our favorite memories. We could not be more grateful to you both for the positive attitudes, non-pushiness, love and respect we received from you. We both are so confident in the dresses you picked out for us and are grateful we came to you!

Great experience!

I had a fantastic experience at Dressed in Love. My appointment was with Amanda, who owns the store and has created a safe, supportive, and fun space to try on gowns. She is incredibly expert at helping you make the right choice, and starts out by asking questions to understand your wedding vibe and vision, and your dress wants and needs. The dress I ended up buying was one of the dresses that she suggested I try on. Although it looked beautiful on the hanger, I didn't think it would like good on my body type, but Amanda had faith and I trusted her. As soon as I put it on I knew it was perfect for me and for the type of wedding vibe I wanted. She knew before I knew! I recommend Amanda and her shop for anyone, but particularly for brides like me who don't exactly know what they want and need a little expert advice to help with their bridal gown vision!

Beautiful options and friendly staff!

I had a great experience purchasing my dress at DIL Bridal - I visited 5 other bridal stores and tried on over 50 dresses, but it was the second dress I ever tried on at Dressed in Love that stole my heart. The staff were friendly and helpful without being pushy and they had a great atmosphere and beautiful dress options. Overall, a great choice!

Simply the best!

I bought my wedding dress from DIL and had a really amazing experience - everything from scheduling my first appointment online to my appointment day was perfect! As a plus size bride, I was thrilled to be able to try on multiple sample dresses. I loved working with Kyle - she was SO helpful, honest and knowledgeable. I thought I would have to search for months, but I found my dream dress at my first appointment and couldn't be happier! I highly recommend scheduling an appointment at DIL!

Cannot recommend enough!

Amanda and the entire team at DIL Bridal was AMAZING! Amanda made my dress shopping experience fun and easy when going into it I had a lot of anxiety about finding the right dress and loving the way that I looked. Amanda listened to what the general vibe of the wedding was and what I was looking for in a dress. She then picked some dresses she thought would match the details I had provided along with my body type. I ended up saying yes to the 2nd dress that she choose for me! They have an amazing selection of veils, shoes, and other accessories/jewelry as well. If you want to dress shop at a place that makes you feel important and valued, I cannot recommend a better place that DIL Bridal!!! Thank you for making me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt and helping make my wedding day a true fairytale!

Great to work with

I was down to the wire with only a month before my son’s wedding. The dresses I ordered online didn’t cut it. I called around different bridal shops to see availability and timing for ordering and having a dress before the end of the month, they practically laughed in my face. After calling Dressed in love Ashley told me they could have my dress I. Within days since it would be coming from NJ. She got me an appointment the next day. Ashley was friendly, warm and professional. She asked what my price range was and the dress I got was under my highest price I could go. She helped me find the perfect gown! I highly recommend this shop! Mother of the bride/groom or brides will not be disappointed!

Strongly Recommend, Absolutely Amazing

I went into the appointment not necessarily planning to buy a dress, but was open to it if the opportunity presented itself. I was more planning for my appointment to be used as a way to get an idea of what I did and didn't like. I had some styles and elements in mind, but also went in with an open mind and was willing to try other options. The whole staff was absolutely amazing and were literally your biggest cheerleaders. My stylist, Kyle, was fantastic and had my taste down from the start. She was very thorough in explaining what the process would look like and was careful not to spend too much time on dresses that we could tell were not the one. She also was quick to provide reassurance on any changes that could be made in alterations that were potential dealbreakers for me, such as length of train, off shoulder sleeves, strapless styles, ability to remove layers of crinoline, etc. When we found the dress that I ultimately ended up going with, upon checking the availability, she let me know that it was one of only 3 left in the whole country, but still did not pressure me into committing that day, only shared her concern with waiting on this particular style. She was super easy to work with, very personable, and very easy to talk to. I've already gotten a ton of compliments about my dress and I'm still on Cloud 9 even thinking about it. My only complaint is how long I have to wait to wear it for my big day. I had seen a few acquaintances have success at Dressed in Love and saw nothing but raving reviews, and I can 100% relate. I will absolutely recommend Dressed in Love. There are not enough words to describe how great and wonderful and honestly amazing this place is.

Say yes to DIL

Excellence doesn't even begin to describe the service received at DIL. Not only do they all exude comfortable and inclusive energy, but they are extremely organized, helping you feel at ease from the initial email to when you step into the shop to try the stunning selection of dresses available. My stylist, Ashley, put me at ease immediately and helped me feel confident in all of my decisions along the way. I had a vision in mind, which the team worked with, finding a few selections even before I arrived for my appointment. They also gave me the space and time to go through the rack of dresses at the shop to choose ones that caught my eye (keeping in mind my budget along the way, which was awesome!), and even pulled out ones for me to try on that I might've not even considered, but I was open to. This was the first bridal dress shop I tried out to find my dress, and I not only found it, but I honestly can't stop thinking about it! Thank you, DIL team - so grateful to you all!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
