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.

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.
