The team at Silk made everything so effortless which made my try-on day extremely special! They made us feel welcomed, helped guide me to the perfect dress, and even popped champagne & gave me a parting gift, just for shopping there.

I knew I wanted to go to Silk because they were the only shop in the area that carried Pronovias (the dress designer I knew I wanted). I was not disappointed. I felt I was listened to and I was never pressured. While my alterations were expensive, Fatima is exceptional at her craft and alterations done at Silk/Thimble Tailor were worth every penny.

Silk was the second bridal shop I went to. I found them on The Knot and after browsing through their Instagram I knew I had to check them out! I made the 1.5-hour trip with my mom and sister for the first time, completely unsure of what the outcome was going to be. I knew exactly what I was looking for in a dress and I had seen one on their Instagram feed that I fell in love with.

When we arrived at the shop, it was clean, modern, and beautiful. The dresses were arranged by designer and our attendant went through the designers with us and provided approximate price ranges for each. I showed my attendant the picture of the dress I saw on Instagram, and she quickly went to the rack and pulled it. She pulled dresses like that style and even pulled a couple that weren’t exactly what I wanted but would provide variety (just in case). Well, in the end, I fell in love with the dress from Instagram, the Pronovias Close.

The next step was to customize the dress to make it my dream dress. It started as a strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline, and I knew I wanted straps. So, once the dress came in, I worked with Fatima to make the dress fit me like a glove. I also was picky about my bustle; I knew what I didn’t want. Kendra took the time to show me the different bustle options for my dress and let me know which one would be the strongest option that would hold all night. I was so nervous leading up to my first fitting and when I left the store after it, I felt silly for feeling nervous at all. Fatima is an expert; she knows what she is doing, and she does it quickly and efficiently.

In the end, my dress was perfect, even better than I ever could have imagined. The straps that we added were gorgeous and exactly what I wanted; Fatima executed them perfectly. My bustle held all night, even through continuous dancing and partying!

I also asked Fatima and her team to make me a bowtie and pocket square out of the extra Mikado material we ordered for my dress straps. It was so special to have such beautiful handmade accessories for my husband on our wedding day.

Check out Silk Bridal, you won’t regret it! Kendra and Fatima are the best at what they do and will make sure you leave there with the dress of your dreams.
