Plus Sized Beauty

The girls at The Bride were the best! I am plus sized and I wanted a black dress. They made my dress dreams come true. They even helped in talking to my grandmother about my vision. They were everything!!!

After coming to The Bride, I wish i never would have looked anywhere else! Victoria is a sweetheart (you can tell she loves her job and cares about each customer) and she helped me pick the most perfect gown, also giving me ideas for hair, makeup, jewelry! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful! As soon as you walk in this store, the atmosphere is just heads and shoulders above other bridal shops I went to. The gowns I tried on were like nothing else I had seen in the Tampa area. Definitely for a bride who wants something that not everyone else has worn. I chose a Daalarna gown, which is the main reason I came to this store. The Daarlana gowns they have fit so perfect and feel great on. I also found out this is the only shop in Florida that sells Daalarna. And bonus, I happened to be their during a trunk sale!! Coming to The Bride for my wedding dress made the dress shopping experience the best it could possibly have been!

I loved my experience at the bride. The dresses here are so unique and beautiful and I found exactly what I was looking for. I love the private service so it's just you and whoever you bring with you in there, it makes it feel even that much more special. There aren't a lot of places around here that are like that. The service is A+ and they really care about you, your needs and wants, budget and are extremely helpful with everything. Highly recommend shopping for your dress here, you won't be disappointed.

I cannot say enough about Viktoria and her amazing designers. The dresses are simply stunning, chic, and dreamy!!! Finding a wedding dress was incredibly stressful and the pressure to buy a dress every time you enter a bridal store is incredible, but not at The Bride! I truly felt Viktoria was simply interested in making sure I had a gorgeous dress that I would feel like a true Princess in. Do not wait until you are in tears, start by visiting The Bride!!!

I love The Bride!!! Viktoria was hands down the most knowledgeable and helpful consultant I came across in my search for the perfect wedding gown. She listened to what I envisioned for my wedding dress, took measurements, and brought out several options to try. ALL of them were gorgeous, and amongst them was my absolute dream dress! It was so refreshing to not be pushed by a sales person into a dress that I didn't love. Viktoria was very professional, very candid, and personable. I went from being stressed out, to being on a zen level of peace and confidence. I can't say enough about this boutique! The Bride is a MUST visit for any gal getting ready to walk down the aisle!

Finding my gown was the most important part of making my wedding the most special day!! I wanted my pictures to be amazing so that my memories would never be lost! Viktoria exceeded all of my expectations. Not only was the gown gorgeous she was amazing in every way! She assisted me with trying on gowns, best fit for my body type, and so much more! She delivered every step of the way!! I would never ever recommend mass production after my amazing experience with The Bride!! You deserve it ???

Beautiful Dresses, Communication Lacking

I had zero intention of buying a dress when I walked into this boutique in Tampa, FL, but I absolutely fell in love with the last dress I put on that day -- it was truly stunning. I immediately bought it even though I'd only been engaged a few days. At the time, Jeanna who was helping me seemed a dream of a person to work with -- attentive, helpful, caring. My wedding was taking place in 5 months, and in Washington, D.C. so I needed it quickly and in another city without a hiccup. Unfortunately, the communication with/from Jeanna after I paid (in full) was terrible. At times, I wouldn't hear back from her for weeks and then my dress didn't arrive on time even though that's what I was promised (and I even offered to pay to expedite it, but she assured me that wasn't needed). I picked up my dress just 3 weeks before my wedding, which was completely nerve wracking because it also didn't fit even though it was supposed to be custom made to my measurements. It had to be taken up in on my shoulders by probably 4 inches each side and at least an inch on either side of my waist. Definitely not custom made. While she did get me into a local seamstress who did my alterations same day, it was also extremely expensive which was disappointing after I'd paid so much for a custom gown. So, I'd love to give this place a higher rating because the dress was gorgeous, but the service and communication fell well below average.
