The Perfect Dress

I can count on my hand the times in the past two years that I’ve worn a dress, but I decided I did want to wear one for my wedding. On my wedding day, I wanted to feel like a sorcerer from the future, an old-timey Hollywood starlet, or a powerful witch. My stylist Julie understood the assignment perfectly. She had a number of my selections available, and also suggested gowns that were within my vision. The result was a gown that I was absolutely in love with! Thank you, Julie, for being a part of my perfect wedding day

LOVE The Lovely Bride Philly

I cannot say enough about this place! My sister found her dream dress here and when I got engaged I knew this was the one and only place that I wanted to go for my dress. Being a plus size bride, I wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and confident and this plays continues to blow my mind. They are just amazing and gave me some perfect options to try on without completely overwhelming me. They never pushed me towards a style or made me feel uncomfortable. We ended up combining details from a few dress to make my dream dress (which was their suggestion) and I couldn’t have been happier. If you live in the Philly area please make sure to visit The Lovely Bride, you will not be disappointed!!

Beautiful gowns and excellent service

This is a bit of a delayed review because my wedding was delayed due to COVID, but I had the BEST experience shopping for my wedding dress at Lovely Bride. Liz helped me during my visit and was so kind and patient with me. Thanks to Liz I was the most relaxed and comfortable at Lovely Bride out of all the places I went to. On top of having the best stylists and staff, they have the best selection of dresses in the area. I can’t recommend them enough!

Simply the best!

Lovely Bride Philadelphia, you will forever have a very special place in my heart. Thank you for making the dress shopping experience what it was. Ivy, thank YOU for being YOU. You were such a pleasure to work with and made the process so easy and enjoyable. Lovely Bride is a beautiful store with an amazing selection of absolutely gorgeous dresses.

The first time I tried on my dress, I was pretty sure it was the one, but I left that day without buying it and came back a week or two later. I also appreciated this because Lovely did not pressure me into making a commitment and when I came back to try it on again (and this time buy it), Ivy spent extra time with me to accessorize and pick the most BEAUTIFUL veil to go with it.

I was a COVID Bride and for the longest time, I clung to the dress shopping experience. It was one of the only moments that I truly felt like a bride. The fact that I had such a wonderful experience at Lovely really helped me to bottle up the joy of this time and treasure that moment.

Anddddd one the silving lining of COVID is that I got to wear my dress twice !!

Amazing experience

I cannot speak highly enough about Lovely Bride. First off, the shop is so beautiful and spotless. It was exactly what I imagined when I thought of wedding dress shopping. The gowns were absolutely stunning, and ultimately I chose my wedding dress here (it was an easy decision!) The biggest reason for leaving a review was how unbelievably helpful my stylist, Stephanie, was. She was so attentive and patient, and she really had such a great feel for what my style is. I was so nervous about choosing a dress, but the true reason I ended up with my perfect dress was because of Stephanie!!

Great service during COVID shutdown

As a bride that chose a dress during COVID, I was a bit bummed that I would not have the leisurely, mimosas and family style bridal appointment. However, Lovely Bride had a system that still worked pretty well. I got to talk to the consultant that I would be working with in the store and choose some dresses ahead of time, which were waiting for me in the store when I arrived. Although the experience was rushed due to COVID, and my family and friends were on Zoom instead of in person, it was still a pretty good appointment. My appointment ended right before I got to try a veil on with the dress I was pretty sure I wanted, and the manager kindly let me stay an extra 30 min to try one on and check it really was the dress I wanted. I really appreciated the time that they gave me at the end. Their selection of dresses was good, and they seemed very honest about their prices and the other prices I should remember in the total cost such as alterations and taxes.

Visiting Ivy and her team is one of my favorite things to do! The wedding gown selection at Lovely Bride Philly compares to no where else. Everything is so unique and never-seen-before.
