I was so pleased to find a beautiful dress from this location. The staff was super kind and professional. I was very pleased with my experience and was sad to see this place go. On the bright side they rebranded into Winsome Brides and I also had a great experience with them as well.

Just to give you a little bit of background: I'm a bride who will be getting married in a little over a year. While I love looking at wedding dresses online and on TV, I didn't want to spend over $1000 on my dress, especially since I was only going to wear it for just one day.

After some research on yelp, I called up the shop owner Laurie and told her "I'm a bride on a budget and I'm trying to look for a dress for about $600 and below. What are the price ranges of your dresses." She was just like, "Actually, most of the dresses in my shop are between $200-$600". I was ecstatic and excited to try on some dresses in the shop with my maid of honor a couple of days after.

We got to the shop around the time when it just opened (on a Saturday around 11am) and we were the only ones in there! We basically had Laurie all to ourselves and she was so sweet and awesome. The first dress I tried on was really pretty but I knew it wasn't the one. We tried on a few more and it even though the dress styles didn't seem to quite suit me, the experience was still fun. Not only was Laurie laid-back and not trying to get in my face to make a sale, she also took the opportunity to say what did and didn't work with my figure. This was especially helpful when it came to finding my style of dress. She even told me that even if we didn't find the dress that day that she normally gets 4-5 new dresses every week so I could always come back another time.

It was starting to look like my dress wasn't there but right at the very end, Laurie had pulled out this one dress I never would have considered. In fact, I just passed over it on the rack without even noticing it. She asked if I wanted to try it on and I thought hey, why not. When I came out in the dress, my maid of honor, Laurie and I were all shocked. Not only was the dress beautiful, but it ended up being THE dress. Just to make sure we weren't impulse buying, I was able to put the dress on hold for 24 hours. I went to Something Blue Bridal Boutique after and just didn't find any dresses that made me feel the same way as the one I found at Sparrow. Plus I missed Laurie's warmness and welcoming personality. So we went back to Sparrow right after Something Blue and put on the dress again. I still kept the dress on hold to sleep on it and show my fiance the next day.

Well, today I showed him the dress and now its sitting in my closet! I ended up getting my Oleg Cassini (probably originally priced at $1000) for $450 and it was in great shape with some minor alterations needed for the bodice. I would totally recommend this place!

Laurie helped me find an amazing dress! She was so great at helping me pull dresses and finding great accessories. She definitely knows what she's doing! Can't believe I was able to find THE dress in under 2 hours. There were 3 amazing dresses that I narrowed down-it was hard to choose because they were each so gorgeous. This was honestly the first place I went to try on dresses. I was so thrilled! I ended up with the dress of my dreams!!! This place is such a gem. Was able to pick up a beautiful veil too!
