About

Moon and Back Bridal is the perfect boutique for Cleveland brides who aren't looking for the big box salon look or experience. We have a carefully picked selection of dresses from independent designers (and a few big names too) and you'll be sure to find a look that's all your own. Whether you want a unique, romantic, boho, edgy, color, eco-friendly, vintage inspired, or even entirely custom wedding dress, we have it! We're the exclusive Ohio stockist for many of our designers and we're really proud of what they stand for.

We believe that the bridal industry can be done differently and we've been at the front of that movement for the last 4 years. We can't wait to meet you!

Congratulations! Let's celebrate!

I went to so many stores early in my search that were so overwhelming - high pressure to try on expensive, cookie cutter dresses, and quickly. The minute I stepped into Moon and Back I never wanted to leave. Christen has created a remarkable space for finding your perfect dress. She has unique lines and really spends time listening to you. After my first appointment we identified some styles i loved, but did find not quite the right dress. She located a Nicole Miller dress that fit all my criteria, got it into the shop for me, and it was perfect.

If you're a unique bride looking for something a little different, then this is the place for you! I loved my beaded wedding gown, but I could have worn any of the dresses I tired on here and been thrilled. Their selection truly is unique compared to the more traditional dress shops.

Moon and Back was everything I could have hoped for while saying yes to the dress! I had tried on dresses previously and felt overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of these shops and completely anxious about the unrealistic sample bridal sizes! The moment I walked into Christen's ADORABLE shop I felt at ease. She was sweet, knowledgeable, and accessible. Her dresses were a reasonable size which made the process even better. My mom, sister, aunt, and cousin and I all sipped champagne while I tried on options. It was relaxed and comfortable. I was thrilled I could give the dress sale to Christen! I really cannot say enough about how great she was to work with and fully recommend Moon and Back for your dream dress shopping experience!

I'm so glad I bought my dress at Moon and Back. Christen requires an appointment. She was flexible and made time for me even though it was a holiday week.

Christen was calm and realistic- very refreshing for me! The store is adorable with beautiful furnishings and details. She asked a few questions about my style and price range and pulled 4-6 options. She was upfront about dress cost and reminded us to keep in mind the extra cost of alterations. She made sure I didn't try on anything that was out of our price range! She told my mom and I about each dress, including details on the maker and where the dress had come from. Many dresses are made with sustainable materials. She was very patient as I was deciding. As a seamstress herself, she was incredibly helpful in explaining what types of alterations would be needed. At the time, she was pulling back from doing too many alterations herself but provided a recommendation for a quote (ultimately, I found a different seamstress, but it was still helpful).

The dress I decided on was full lace with a beaded lace accent around the chest and back. It was a sweetheart strapless dress, A-line cut. Christen is wonderful, and I'd definitely recommend her!

What a great experience! Christen (the owner) helped me pick out my dress and was wonderful to work with. She's very knowledgeable about gowns (I think she used to design/create dresses herself), patient while you try it on and discussion various options, and she actually suggested the dress I purchased. To top it off, she was so understanding when we messed up our appointment not once, but twice (we made it there - just at the wrong time)! I live out of state, but came to Cleveland to visit one of my bridesmaids - I'm so happy that we found Moon and Back Bridal and I look forward to working with her on the alterations and accessories. Go here!!

Christen and To The Moon and Back are phenomenal! The most important values to me for my wedding are love, community, and sustainability. Christen asked me what sustainability meant to me right away from from the beginning, I knew I was in the best of hands. She found a dress that was so me, one that I didn't even notice. She's so willing to go the extra mile, calling the designers, or hand-making any extra thing you would need. What a gem of a person and store in Cleveland!

Christen really listened to what I wanted in a wedding dress and helped me work within my budget to get the perfect wedding dress for me. Every dress she offers is unique, stylish, and well-made.

When I decided to have my mother's wedding dress altered into a dress for my rehearsal dinner, Christen offered lots of options for how she could alter it into a beautiful new dress.

Christen helped alter my wedding dress, and created a gorgeous, handmade headpiece for me as well. Her new shop was the perfect place to meet / alter the dress, she was flexible in meeting around my 8-5 work schedule, and she went above and beyond what I'd expected or even asked for in terms of the actual alterations and headpiece.

Christen is creative and thoughtful, her services are really reasonable, and her work on the dress / headpiece was beautiful.
