Honest in Ivory

Honest in Ivory is an unreal bridal salon. It is clear that everyone that works here really cares about the people that walk through the door. Add on top of that the fact that the store itself is BEAUTIFUL - filled with natural light and adorable bridal suites and the prettiest bar ever. Every detail is so intentional, and you will feel like you're in a fairytale (but like, a cool laidback one) from the moment your appointment begins.


I had the absolute privilege of working with Lauren. I wish every single bride could get the opportunity to meet Lauren - she is the sweetest, most thoughtful and intuitive stylist I could dream up. It was my very first trying-on experience, and she made it feel like magic. She called me a few days prior to the appointment to talk over my inquiry form, which set the tone of comfortability before I was even at the store. And then when I got there, she had already pulled 5 of the most gorgeous dresses I have ever seen. I can't believe how much effort she put into learning what I was looking for, premeditating the things outside my comfort zone I might want to try, and curating a lineup specifically for me. She knew exactly what questions to ask about each dress we tried to gauge what we should try next. She included my mom throughout the entire process, like we had all been friends for years. The only downside was it was so much fun that I wished we could stay for the rest of the day haha!


What I'm really getting at is that this is not just another bridal salon. This place is something really, really special. I posted that I was here on my Instagram stories, and I had multiple people reply that this was their holy grail store after trying on at many other shops in big metropolitan areas. Their attention to detail is lightyears above and beyond. A welcome sign with my name written on it, mimosas-of-the-month the cheers with, the pre-appointment phone calls, the personalized dress-pulls, the gorgeous velvet couches, the super intentionally curated inventory, the huge range of sample sizes to promote inclusivity, the amazing personalities of every. single. person. you will interact with. Honest in Ivory leaves zero crumbs. You will feel good about yourself, about your shopping experience, and about supporting them with your business. Whether you're Spokane-based or not (and I am not!), I highly recommend that you find a way to shop here. You will not regret it!!

I am from CT, but was in the area (Spokane, WA) visiting family and the shop was recommended by my cousin who works there. Laurel was so amazing and made the process so easy. She really listen to what I was saying and made sure to get my opinion before showing the entourage and after. Laurel asked three questions “do you feel beautiful? Do you feel confident? Do you feel like you?” I really loved the first dress I tried on, but wasn’t 100% sure. Laurel was so great and took my measurements just in case I decided I wanted to move forward with ordering but didn’t put any pressure on me to make a decision. The next day, I decided I wanted to try on the dress again. The shop was so amazing and made time for me to come back before I flew home so I could try on the dress. Kenzie helped me the second time and she was just as amazing as Laurel. She brought over different accessories for me to try on with the dress. At the end of the appointment, I decided to order the dress. Kenzie shared that they would be able to ship the dress to me in CT - when it arrives to the store, they will inspect it and then send it via FedEx. I just ordered the dress, but Kenzie made notes of the veil and other accessories I really liked and let me know that I could call and order them over the phone if I decided I want them.

Overall, Laurel and Kenzie (and all the other ladies at the shop) made my dress shopping experience so easy and stress free. I cannot wait to wear my beautiful dress on my wedding day!
