Helpful, Considerate & Talented

I would definitely recommend Modern Brides for your wedding dress and bridal accessories. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. I probably tried on at least a dozen dresses and it didn’t phase them one bit. They were so accommodating when I brought my 18 month old nephew to dress fittings and even let me come try my dress on the day it came in even though I couldn’t come in until just minutes before they closed. And the alterations! My dress was very intricate - covered in lace with a fitted corset top. I lost quite a bit of weight between the time we order the dress and when it came in. The top was huge but after she took it in, it was perfectly fitted to my body. I’m also very short but I desperately wanted to keep the scalloping at the bottom. She had to remove all of the lace, hem the dress, and then sew the lace back on. I couldn’t even tell it was different at all! The bustle was absolutely perfect too. I had a great experience and I hope that you add Modern Brides as your first stop when dress hunting. You won’t regret it!

I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received at Modern Brides. Haley was my consultant and she was so easy to work with. Modern Brides was the first store I went to when shopping for my wedding dress, because I found my Senior Prom dress there. However, like most brides I had 30+ pictures of beautiful dresses, but once I put them on I didn't like the style. After a quick trip to Nashville I called and made a secondary appointment with Haley at Modern Brides and I found my PERFECT dress. I walked in and told Haley what style I was looking for and she immediately began pulling dresses for me to try on including the two dresses which I liked the first time just to be sure. The best part is I was able to find my dress without going over my budget, so now I can use the remaining funds to use elsewhere.

I highly recommend Modern Brides, for all your formal needs. They have helped me tremendously with both my prom and wedding dress and I have never once left disappointed in service or selection.

I have been a customer of Modern Brides since high school, over 10 years now. Even after moving from the Huntsville area, I've come back here to shop for formal events. I always feel welcomed by the staff. The girls are so cheerful and helpful! I never feel rushed or like I'm being too much trouble. When I first was engaged, I thought it would be easier to purchase my gown from a shop in my current city of Nashville. After visiting nearly 10 bridal shops in Nashville, I came to Modern Brides. And I regret not going here first like I usually do!!! They made the experience so easy for this out of town bride! I walked in with a specific vision in my head. After trying on several gowns, I off handedly mentioned to Mrs. Pat that I really wanted a specific look that I was frustrated I couldn’t find because it was not a very popular style. She was quick to respond with an idea that we might be able to ask for the top of one dress and the bottom of another dress from the manufacturer. First thing the following Monday, I received the call from her about my DREAM DRESS! Because of the manufacturer's ability to create custom fabric patterns, the team at Modern Bride was able to give me the neck line and cut of the dress I was dreaming of! They, also, accommodated my group of 10 for viewing of my dress arrival and helped me select the perfect veil to match. Alterations were easy to schedule and flawlessly executed. They would not let me take my dress until I was 100% satisfied with their work! So sweet!

Everyone I've encountered at this shop is kind, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. Their selection is amazing for bridal, bridesmaid, and formal events. I look forward to continuing my business with the Modern Brides team. Thank you, ladies!!
