Wouldn't shop anywhere else!

I am a very picky bride, unfortunately to my own demise as I originally had a very specific style in mind for my day-of. When arriving the ladies here were not only SO encouraging but they were the most amazing hype-girls ever. They listened to all my opinions and took them into account as I tried on gowns. My stylist understood the assignment by picking out dresses that were either SO close to the original wants I had voiced as well as pushing me out of my comfort zone into other styles. The shop also offers a payment plan for gowns here which was so helpful considering I fell in love but didn't have the full amount available! I ended up in a completely different style of gown and I couldn't be happier! The ladies here are some of the best, making me feel very comfortable in my own body as well as just being so kind no matter what. I would recommend coming here for any occasion to find the right gown. I cannot wait for my special day!

Wonderful experience finding my wedding dress and renting tuxedos!

Very friendly & helpful! My wedding dress was the perfect style, fit, and color thanks to them. Renting tuxedos for the groom & groomsmen was very easy. We had two tuxedos (2 out of 6 tuxes) that were not fitted correctly, but Memories was able to fix that at the fitting. All around a great place to work with.

An amazing shopping experience!

I had a bridal appointment on 12/30/19. I went in knowing about how much I wanted to spend, and knowing I wanted to look and feel like a princess. I was paired with Mae as my consultant, who was absolutely fabulous. I was genuinely a bit terrified to shop for a dress, but Mae made me feel so comfortable and was easy to talk with. She also didn’t rush or pressure me one bit. She spent nearly 2 hours putting me in out of dresses. I ended up buying the very first dress I tried on, Mae picked out a belt to add some sparkle to the dress, and also placed the perfect veil on my head. I truly felt beautiful. Shopping at Memories was truly a great experience, and I think they are blessed to have someone like Mae on their staff. I’m so happy I’m a Memories Bride!

Seamstress Diane

I already had a wedding dress, but we came to Memories for one of their recommended seamstresses, Diane Myers-Bond. I had 5 fittings with her to get my dress to be a perfect fit! She was flexible, had a fantastic idea for how to create a unique bustle for my dress covered in jewels, and even added parts to the dress such as a waist-slimming belt and bra cups. People kept asking where I got the dress, but they were mostly impressed with how well it fit!

Amazing Formal Wear

Memories did an amazing job dressing everyone in the wedding party as well as with my own gown and jewelry! The staff is so kind and easy to work with and they made us look amazing for the big day! I would highly suggest Memories to any newly engaged couple or anyone that needs a formal gown/tux! Absolutely stunning!!!!

Found my Perfect Dress

Kali was my own personal hype girl! She was amazing throughout the dress seeking process and helped me find my perfect gown. I can't wait until it comes in later this summer. It's one of the most beautiful dresses I've laid eyes on.

Memories is a professional, locally owned boutique store with amazing options - located in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo. Over the past decade, many of the brides who hire me as the photographer for their big day also trust Memories to provide a beautiful wedding dress and bridal attire. I have only heard glowing shared-client reviews of Memories. Selfishly, I am always excited to hear a bride has selected Memories because it makes my job enjoyable when everyone looks great. I highly recommend Memories to anyone looking for bridal or event attire.
