Perfect Experience

I visited the shop a total of three times and had the best time on every visit. Kendall went above and beyond for me, and I felt so supported by her! She involved my family, but checked in a few times to make sure the involvement level was still good with me. She kept the vibes positive, fun, but still intent on finding the dream dress. I thought I knew what style I wanted, but Kendall listened to my complaints about the first few dresses in that style, and brought me something of a little different look, but still in line with what I had been wanting. It was the dress of all dresses, and I knew before we even moved the curtain that it was the one.

I didn't feel pressure to buy right away, and came back a few weeks later to officially order the dress. My dress came in exactly on time and they gave a great list of seamstresses in the area. I could not be happier with the experience there, and have already sent two of my friends to the shop!

An absolute MUST!

I found THE dress here! I had such a wonderful and comfortable experience. It felt very private with my mom and sister in law with me which was amazing. My dress was the 5th I tried on and I knew it was the one. The associate working with us was so attentive and really took my tastes and preferences into consideration to pick out the perfect styles. My dress even has the cutest removable sleeves and I picked out the best belt to go with it! The whole process was so easy and painless. I highly recommend shopping for your big day here!!

love, love, LOVE!

I went to about 7 other shops in Buffalo before heading to Lovely Bride in Rochester. I immediately fell in love with the customer service, ambiance & their dress selection! Kendall was a doll to work with and made me feel amazing!! My wedding was 7.22.23 and I am ecstatic on my dress + veil choice from Lovely. I went with 'Windsor' Alyne by Rita Vinieris gown and the Jackson veil by Untamed Petals. Thank you so much for everything!

By far the best!

I had gone to lovely bridal with the intention to look and then go to a few other shops before deciding on “the one”. After going to two other shops, I called back and asked to come back in because I couldn’t stop thinking of “the one” they had found for me! Somehow they knew me better than I knew myself! The atmosphere, experience and professionalism is absolutely amazing here. There truly is nothing like Lovely. HIGHLY RECOMMEND🥰

Fun and productive!

Lovely Bride satisfies quantity and quality in their bridal gown collections. It does not have the same capacity as a ware-house sized bridal store, but it absolutely has a varied selection of dresses, all of great quality. Every dress in the store was clearly chosen carefully and with reasons. I tried on several very different styles of dress and each was beautiful aesthetically and in craftsmanship. Despite every single dress that I tried on being fabulous, I suffered no “paradox of choice.” The stylists and owner at Lovely all took time to talk with me while I was contemplating the gowns and enthusiastically shared practical and stylistic advice. We were able to quickly rank and narrow down my options and pick “the dress” that best suited me and our event.

Made me feel beautiful

Katie really helped us out. I found a dress that I loved and she made it possible. She put out a handicap ramp so my mom could get in the store to see my dress before she passed away. It was beautiful in every way!

Found my dream dress!

Lovey Bride Rochester provides the special treatment every bride deserves when purchasing one of the most important outfits of their life. On my first appointment, Shelby took me through each and every dress and told me their name and designer. I at no point felt rushed or like I was limited to only try on a set amount of dresses. This is definitely not the norm! I ended up checking out other bridal wear stores but Lovely won my heart from the beginning! Every person I worked with was so kind, uplifting, and genuinely excited to help me. The boutique itself is adorable. If you want your shopping and fitting appointments to be the whole experience with photo ops and special moments- this is the place to be! After choosing my dress (her name was Alpha) and accessories, each subsequent appointment was wonderful, and felt like I was being welcomed by close girlfriends. On my pickup appointment for my veil I brought in some family heirlooms and the associates and owner were so kind to listen to my stories. My dress made me feel so beautifully myself on my wedding day and that is all thanks to the ladies over at Lovely Bride!

Hands down best experience at Lovely!

My appointment at Lovely was my very first bridal appointment. The owner Katie made me and my guests feel so welcome and just as excited as we were to find a dress! I had a list of dresses I wanted to try but also had a open mind about others. Katie did a great job at selecting the ones I listed as well as ones I didn’t to narrow down fit and style. Thanks to her creativity, I said to YES to one that wasn’t on my list and I couldn’t be more happy. My dress came in this weekend and is everything I could have ever wanted! If you choose Lovely you are going to have a wonderful experience! Picked my dress up this weekend and kind of sad I don’t have to go back!

In love with Lovely Bride!

I went to 2 shops to try on dresses before I made an appointment at Lovely. I am SO HAPPY and relieved that it was such a different experience from the first 2! I was dreading trying on more dresses after having such a rough time and I'm so glad I kept my appointment! Stunning place, amazingly supportive consultants (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Julia), and the most unique dresses in the Rochester area. I can't recommend Lovely Bride enough!!

The best experience

Lovely bride is a safe haven for all brides. Not only are they not pushy to make you find and choose a dress, but they are so amazingly helpful in helping you find your perfect dress. I went there because I wanted a Hayley Paige dress and they did not disappoint! I got my dress and my veil from them and love both!
