About

EVOKE: the bridal experience is a body-positive wedding attire boutique located in Pearland, Texas. Founder Hayley Orr is passionate about creating a welcoming environment where every client can realize their true beauty and find their dream gown. Hayley worked at wedding dress shops for several years, where she often witnessed soon-to-be-newlyweds leave in tears when they couldn’t fit into the too-small samples. She was inspired by this experience to create her own salon that features sample gowns in sizes ranging up to 32. All team members are trained at The Equality Institute and The Body Positive in order to provide the most bespoke, knowledge, and stylish experience.

Services Offered
EVOKE: the bridal experience works with brands that are equally committed to their philosophy of inclusivity, including, Justin Alexander, Sincerity, Adore by Justin Alexander, WToo and Pronovias. The stylists believe that there is no “one size fits all” and proudly carry dresses in all sizes and styles. The boutique features private changing suites for the bride, complimentary champagne, and a fully personalized customer service experience.

The best experience

Evoke was absolutely amazing! I went dress shopping with a short time frame until my wedding and they made sure to Not only have off the rack dresses easily available, but went the extra mile to search through their stock to see which dresses they could order new and get in on time. They make you feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process, something I found out was hard to find at other shops and ultimately what made me choose them for my wedding dress. A bonus was their communication, you could text them at anytime about any concerns or questions and they would respond very quickly!

A memorable experience

My day with Evoke was a dream come true! These girls went above and beyond for me. I am forever going to remember this day for the rest of my life. I seriously love these two so much. They really listened on what I wanted and delivered something remarkable. They pulled off something I know other people would not of done. I am forever grateful. I had so much fun and they made sure all the important people in my life were on virtually so they could be apart of this big moment. Thank you Evoke! I recommend this to anyone that wants an amazing, personable experience.

Overall Amazing Experience

My experience with Evoke was an amazing adventure from the moment I walked in until I said 'yes to the dress'. Even after, the ladies at Evoke made me feel welcome to stop by and try on the dress whenever I feel like it. They have made picking my dress such a fun experience for me and my family!

Amazing experience!

I scheduled quite a few appointments looking for my wedding dress and I can honestly say that I had the best experience at Evoke! They were so sweet, patient, and kind to me. My friends, mom, and I felt very comfortable and they were so helpful. You also get the whole place for you and your guests which is great! I didn’t find my dress the first time, but I knew that I wanted to purchase my wedding dress from them so I went in for a second appointment. They even ordered a sample gown for me to try on from a designer. Thank you Hayley and Tabitha for helping me find my dress!

Amazing experience, cannot recommend enough

I felt so comfortable at both of my bridal gown appointments at Evoke. The team is so enthusiastic, welcoming, and made me feel like they had my best interest at heart the entire time. I love to support a body positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive business, especially in the wedding industry! If you are looking for a place you'll be comfortable and can have a wonderful experience no matter your size, this is your place! The gowns are all beautifully curated, the experience is relaxed, and l found my dream dress!

Highly recommend!

From the moment I walked in this shop, I knew I was going to find my dress here! Tabitha and Hayley are awesome, and provided an amazing, personalized, inclusive dress shopping experience. Evoke has a large selection of plus size gowns and celebrates diversity in all shapes and forms. The gowns are also very reasonably priced! My mom, maid of honor, and I were greeted with glasses of champagne and a warm welcome. Tabitha sat down with me and took the time to find out about my vibe, budget, wedding details, and what I was hoping for in a gown. I was able to browse the racks before selecting several gowns to try on. Tabitha and Hayley also know their stock super well and were able to suggest/pull gowns that I may have passed over, but I'm so glad I got to see them on my body. Not only were they extremely thorough, but they were so fun! We laughed and joked the entire appointment. I am happy to say I found my perfect gown at Evoke, and Tabitha encouraged my maid of honor to ask me "the question", making it so special for me to say yes to my dress! We celebrated with more champagne and pictures with the say yes to the dress sign! I highly recommend visiting Evoke and letting Tabitha and Hayley make you feel like the most beautiful bride in the world! It was a fabulous experience and I can't wait for my wedding day in my Evoke gown!

EVOKE is Amazing!!!

Such amazing help picking out my dream dress! Great vibes all around, definitely a must for such a special part of my bridal journey. Clean atmosphere, affordable (but not cheap) gowns, and so much help in making everything perfect. Check these lovely girls out!

Amazing experience

If you are looking for an extremely personalized, professional, and overall amazing experience to pick out your wedding gown, this is the place for you! I was the only client in the shop, because they do things by appointment only, and from the moment I walked through the door Tabatha was highly focused on finding me my dream dress! I tried on one of everything (well it felt like it at least 🙃) because I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss out on anything and these ladies made it happen. I didn’t purchase before leaving that day, but I immediately knew which one I wanted the next day and ordered it. They actually suggested that I go home and think about which one I want first- I never felt pressure to make a purchase in that moment and that’s a major deal to me! They genuinely do this because they love finding brides their dream dress and now I couldn’t imagine getting my gown from anyone else!!

Stellar place

I knew right away I was going to love Evoke when I pulled my car up and saw plus size models in their window. YAAAASSSSS. I had the honor (and absolute pleasure) of being their first bridal appt for 2021. Hayley (the owner) is SO KNOWLEDGEABLE, body inclusive and honest. Tabitha, my stylist, listened to what I was looking for, pulled similar wedding gowns that were similar to my interests and made this whole experience so much FUN. Tabitha, you made me feel like a dang wedding princess.

I had already visited 5 other bridal places before this and I can tell you, their customer service is top notch. Their price range is AMAZING. All the dresses I loved were within my 1300-2000 range. Hayley even recommended me cheaper options to customize my gown. So many bridal places kept pushing me to have the designer “customize” my dress and Hayley discussed much cheaper options that would do the exact same thing.

Even though I didn’t buy my gown just yet, I KNOW that I will be coming back to Evoke. I would recommend them, 10/10. Hands down.
