Best Wedding Dress Shopping Experience

The Sentimentalist is the best wedding dress shop in Atlanta! My stylist, Hannah G, took the time to really listened to what I wanted and made the shopping experience so fun and stress free. Highly recommend!

You want to buy your dress here.

I live in Florida and actually came up to Atlanta because two of the dresses I wanted to try on were in the city, one at the Sentimentalist. I'm so glad I made the trip and that this was the place where I got my dress. I went to three Atlanta bridal boutiques and this was easily the most professional, beautiful, and friendly. You can definitely get a classic white wedding gown here, but this is definitely the place to go if you want something unique. They are also friendly to all body types! I had fallen in love with Carol Hannah's Oceane gown but wanted some changes made to make it my own, and they made it happen, and also were quick to respond when I had a tailoring crisis with my dress (long after I bought it!) Can't recommend them highly enough.

Wedding Dress Dreams

My wedding dress shopping experience was top tier. I had an amazing time trying on various dresses as The Sentimentalist Team is full of humans who love weddings and helping brides find their dream dress. There were many beautiful dresses and accessories that you cannot find at just any bridal shop. I LOVED my dress and it was perfect for my October 2023 wedding at Lanier Islands. 10/10, definitely recommend.

Low Maintenance Vibe, Amazing Listeners

Myself and my 3 guests had the most lovely time at The Sentimentalist. They are a very no pressure shop but are able to actually hear and listen to your wants and preferences to help you find the perfect dress. They have a wide variety of dresses with a very low maintenance vibe, so definitely give them a chance if you are in the Atlanta area and shopping for wedding dresses.

Amazing experience

Shopping at The Sentimentalist was one of the best decisions I made concerning my wedding dress! I am a queer, nonbinary person, and the shopping experience was a little intimidating. Reading reviews for The Sentimentalist and seeing the both timeless and off-the-beaten path attire they offered were what drove me to make an appointment, and I’m so glad I did! Everyone on the staff, and especially my stylist, were super kind, patient, respectful of all genders/races/bodies/budgets, and knowledgeable. The shop itself is beautiful and the selection of dresses has something for everyone. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone!!

Don't Shop Anywhere Else!

The Sentimentalist was the perfect place to find my wedding dress! I felt empowered and listened to throughout the dress selection process, and I felt even more beautiful on my big day. After I picked up my dress, they went above and beyond in answering questions about undergarments, makeup recommendations, and more. I can't imagine buying my dress from anyplace else!

Most Amazing Experience!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience at the Sentimentalist in finding the most dreamy dress for my wedding back in January. Both Gigi and Hannah were angels for all their support and help to find the most amazing gown. I had the best time with the whole team there. I’ve gotten so many compliments, and my friends and family that came with me to the shop are always talking about how much they loved our visits. The sentimentalist is such a special spot!

Found my dream dress!

I wanted to try on wedding dresses from a specific designer, which is how I initially found The Sentimentalist. I am so glad I did! Hannah and her team were so helpful - including when I had to do a virtual measurement session before placing my final order, after I had emergency knee surgery! My dress arrived on time (actually a few days early)! Cannot recommend them enough!

Best Dress Shopping Experience!

I tried on 50 (no kidding) wedding dresses at various national brand and small owner bridal shops. Nothing made sense until I went to the Sentimentalist. Phae listened and worked with me to find the perfect, unique, and comfortable dress. I never felt pressured to buy something or make a rash decision. In fact, I came back a month later because I still couldn't get the dress out of my mind and there was nothing else like it out there. Thank you so much to the incredible staff for creating a safe, comfortable, and joyful space.

Best Wedding Dress Shop in ATL

The Sentimentalist, and specifically my stylist Hannah, made dress shopping fun, stress-free and one of the more memorable wedding planning experiences. My mom, mother in law and sister all came with me and The Sentimentalist made us feel so special and heard. The process for actually getting my dress was super easy and they recommended a great alterations place. Can't recommend them enough!
