Fairytales do come true!

I am so blessed this little gem exists. Everyone who works here is beyond wonderful. You can see they truly care about their work and you as a customer. Between the cost of the dress to the alterations I was mind blown! It really helped keep me in budget and I was contributing to a good cause. At the end of the night I didn't even want to take my dress off! Thank you Brides Project.

Beautiful dresses, wonderful people!

The Brides Project was such a wonderful place to get my dress! I loved the selection that they had available. The volunteers were very kind and helped me choose a veil and matching belt for my dress as well. The seamstress was super affordable and she worked quick! Overall I would recommend this place to any brides looking to support a great cause while buying a beautiful dress.

Support a Nonprofit and Save Big $$$

My experience with the Brides Project was so good, I went back for a second dress! I tried on a variety of dresses that were unique, one-of-a-kind and incredibly special. The work this organization is doing is so important to the Michigan cancer community. 10/10 would recommend.

Incredible wedding dress shop

I recommend this shop to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding dress! The women working there obviously love what they do and I had so much fun finding my dress. It turned out perfectly and I barely had to get any work done on it. They have an in-house seamstress, too which makes things easier. Amazing prices, not to mention the great cause the money goes towards!

Helps to Know It's for a Cause

I have a difficult time justifying costs when buying clothes for myself, so I knew wedding dress shopping was going to be rough. Fortunately, I decided to start at The Brides Project, and I found the perfect dress there! It was still tough for me to swallow the $900 price, but I felt so much better knowing the funds were going toward the Cancer Support Community, and I have zero regrets! The design I wore was only a couple years old by the time of my wedding. It was a sample dress, so it hadn't been worn before. Despite being donated, all the dresses I tried on were in great condition.

So many styles to choose from!

I tried on so many dresses at the Brides Project - they have an incredible selection of different styles! Their volunteers are kind and helpful. They also have a tailor they work with who will alter your dress for a very reasonable fee. If you're like me and you don't want to pay thousands of dollars for a dress you're only going to wear once, check them out! It's for a good cause, too :)

Dress shopping at The Brides Project was an absolute dream

I was a last-minute bride. My husband and I decided to plan our destination wedding in less than 80 days--so I needed a dress off-the-rack.
TBP was my first dress shopping experience and what a positive, fun, and relaxing experience it was! I appreciated that the consultants encouraged me and my guests to look through the racks ourselves, but also provided input and suggestions based on what I liked and didn't like. In the end, I found a gorgeous dress that felt like it was made for me. My wedding dress was super unique and was unmatched by anything I found at the other bridal shops I visited.
My consultant, Jan, was supportive, knowledgeable, and great to work with. On the day I was shopping, the seamstress (also named Jan) was there and was able to provide input about the alterations I needed--I appreciated having her there as the other bridal shops I visited told me they would not be able to complete my alterations in time for my wedding (10 weeks). Jan completed hers in a month.
I recommend TBP to anyone who wants a wedding dress that's a little out of the ordinary and wants their dress purchase to make an impact on the local community.

Wonderful!

The lady’s at The Brides Project were amazing. From the second I walked in the door they were helpful and accommodating. I would recommend everyone go there to find a high quality dress for an affordable price. It made me even happier to know the proceeds from my dress were going to directly impact a family’s life in my community.

A great organization!

This organization is an incredible opportunity to provide for the community and purchase a beautiful wedding dress (while saving money!). They have a great variety of sizes and styles to choose from. It was my first trip dress shopping, and I was determined that it would also be my last. They helped make that happen! They also accommodated my larger-numbered entourage, which was important to me, and I am very grateful. I will recommend this organization to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
