    So great!!!

    Emily was of amazing help in so many ways! She made me feel comfortable and beautiful. In all honestly, I wasn’t sure I liked the selection at Kathryn’s by looking through the HUNDREDS of dresses at first, then when I started trying on and Emily picked some off the rack for me I was in love with so many of them! I am so excited to have Kathryn’s be a part of my wedding day. I truly trust them with all that they have to offer!

    Hands down best experience!

    This was my first day wedding dress shopping and I expected to have to shop at multiple places before I found THE dress. I was so wrong! At the very first place I went to, Kathryn's Bridal, I found my dream wedding dress! The staff was SO helpful and truly made me feel like the star of the show. Emily was my personal consultant during my appointment and she knew how to take my feedback about what I was looking for and select dresses to try on. I would 100% recommend Kathryn's Bridal! Making an appointment was easy and they always have an open line of communication throughout the whole process. Pricing was also a concern for me as I am on a strict budget and knew I wanted a lot of bling/detail with my dress but still managed to find a dress UNDER my budget!!!!

    Wonderful Experience with Tammy!
