Wedding Dress

I got married in my dream wedding dress thanks to Gail at occasions! She worked with me as I tried on countless dresses and she gave me honest feedback as well as advice. I didn’t have an idea of what I specifically wanted so Gail had me try on a variety of silhouettes to find what looked best on my body and made me feel confident and beautiful. After trying on a lot of dresses over the course of a few visits, I ended up choosing one of the first dresses I had tried. I felt like an absolute princess on my big day and am still so in love with my dress! In addition to my wedding gown, my mother and bridesmaids also got their gowns from Occasions. They all looked stunning! Gail worked with my bridesmaids (who weren’t all in the area) and made sure everything was perfect. I can’t recommend Occasions enough!

Found the perfect dress

The ladies here are beyond sweet. I loved the selection and quality of their stock. Going into david’s bridal after going to occasions was a huge difference. The care I received was unmatched. I was able to find a dress that wasn’t something I had seen on a hundred brides already. Truly a showstopper dress, and I owe it all to these ladies!

I loved using google Occasions! Being a size 16/18 I have had issues finding dresses in the past. Occasions had a wonderful selection that not only fit but came in almost any style that I could have wanted. While I went in with an idea of what I wanted, I ended up altering that when I found a stunning dress that made me look amazing! They were also very helpful with suggestions to alter the dress to make it even more unique.

Gail was amazing!! So helpful throughout the entire process. One of the best dress shops I have been to.

The selection of dresses is not overwhelming like other stores which helped me out a lot. There is a dress that fits every style, but not 100000 dresses to make you more confused and stressed. At larger stores like David's Bridal I would just get more confused and did not really have that feeling like they were really trying to help me pick what I really wanted, but rather just wanted to make a sale.

The one thing I liked was how Gail really made you feel at home and was super personable and remembered you every time you came in/called. She is also honest and will tell you what styles may work best with your body type. I hated how some stores told you a dress looked amazing, when in reality it was one of the worst style dresses you try on! The last thing you need it someone lying to you throughout a process that may already be stressful. What I thought would be one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning was actually the most fun and relaxing because of Gail.

I am so happy that I went to Occasions for my wedding dress AND bridesmaid dresses AND mother of the bride dress :) She has styles that worked for everything! I would recommend that every bride at least stop by to see what they have to offer. You will not be disappointed!!! Even if you are from out of state, make the trip :) A friend of mine that is getting married in October made the trip from NYC and ended up getting her bridesmaids dresses there as well. She also raved about how great Occasions is!

Gail was such a sweetheart!!!!! This was the first dress shop I looked at and within an hour I had my dress. I spent WAY under budget. My dress was one they designed. It was comfortable and I could dance in it (we did a choreographed dance). I got so many compliments and I did not spent a fortune on it. I forgot my shoes once at my dress fitting and she let me borrow a similar shoe for the fitting (tailor is across the street). I highly recommend Occasions. There is something for every budget. My mom even found her mother of the bride dress there!

My mother in law spent more on her dress than I spent on my dress, veil, shoes, alterations and additions to my dress combined. It was insane. I'm SO BEYOND THRILLED. I loved my dress so much and it was very meaningful because I was able to add beads from my mother's wedding dress and put my late cousin's initials in blue in the back inside of my dress. The affordability let me be able to do this. YOU MUST check out Occasions!

Gail is the reason why I bought my dress there. Her attention to each customer makes the whole difference! I had 6 months to plan my wedding from the day I got engaged to the day of the wedding, and while most bridal stores wouldn't even allow me to look at options Gail helped me get the dress of my dreams which would arrive in time for my wedding! Very pleased with her.

Gail is absolutely amazing. I went with my mom to browse wedding gowns with no intentions of getting a dress and I ended up falling in love with a dress that day- this dress is my ultimate Pinterest dream come to life! Gail made my experience fun and and easy with her calm and gentle personality. She was very patient with me when I had trouble deciding on a color (who knew there are different shades of white- I sure didn't). Both Gail and Liz (another team member at Occasions) let me come to the decision on my own but were able to offer great tips and advise along the way. I couldn't he happier with my decision to my get my dress at occasions, I feel like I've made a great friend in Gail look forward to continuing to work with Gail and her team throughout the rest of my wedding planning process.

Occasions Bridal has been amazing to work with for my wedding dress! Gail was SO sweet upon my arrival and made me feel so comfortable. I had a previous experience elsewhere that was not so warm and fuzzy so this was certainly appreciated. While trying on the dresses she had good advice so what would work with my body and made me feel beautiful in all the dresses I tried on. I came back with more family for the 2nd visit and again, Gail was wonderful! I can't wait to continue working with her when my dress comes in!

I have known Gail for many years. She and her team are great at finding the right dress for you for the "Occasion". I purchased a dress for my prom from her and recently a dress to wear at my cousin's wedding. When I walked into the shop I didn't really know what I wanted. Gail picked out a dress that she thought would look nice on me. My mom loved it. Honestly I wasn't too over the moon about it myself, but as I walked around at my cousin's reception I truly fell in love with the dress. Thanks Gail for knowing which dress was right for me without me even realizing it! You are the best!
