Ultimate Bride was the first stop for my wedding dress shopping and it was also the last! Nancy was the best stylist and helped with all my needs. The first dress I tried she pulled for me based on my personal style and where my wedding is located and it is the dress I chose! She was so wonderful and thoughtful with all of her choices! After leaving Ultimate Bride and going to my next appointment all we wanted was to go back and see her! Ultimate Bride had such great choices and you could tell that everyone in the show room was having a great time!

I had an absolutely great experience with Ultimate Bride. Amanda and Greta, in particular, was very kind and helpful throughout my shopping and fitting process. The fit of my dress was excellent and the bustle worked perfectly. Greta did a beautiful job with the alterations and I was given helpful directions for storing/prepping my dress on the wedding weekend. Visiting Ultimate Bride for dress shopping and my alterations were some of the highlights of my whole wedding-planning process.

I purchased and tailored my wedding dress at Ultimate Bride, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Their service was top-notch; the staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and made me feel so special throughout the entire process. The selection of dresses was absolutely stunning, offering a diverse range of styles, fabrics, and designers to choose from.

Special shoutout to Kathia, my stylist, who went above and beyond in helping me find my dream dress. She was never pushy or judgmental and made me feel very comfortable expressing how I felt about each dress I tried, which was crucial in finding the right dress for me.

In addition, Maya, the alteration specialist, also deserves praise for her impeccable tailoring service. She was patient and understood what I wanted to achieve. She ensured that my dress fit like a glove, with precise attention to every detail, making the entire experience stress-free.

Plus, their timeliness was impressive; my dress was ready well ahead of schedule, giving me one less thing to worry about before the big day.

Lastly, the store environment was elegant and calming.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience in finding my dream wedding dress. Highly recommend!

I had the BEST experience finding my wedding dress at Ultimate Bride. We got married on 10/15/22 at the Sculpture Garden at Bridgeport Art Center and I began my dress search in September 2021. Brandy was an absolute dream to work with in my first trial appointment and my second. She completely understood my vision and brought me a range of styles that both read my mind and introduced me to something unique. She really helped me find the most perfect Ines Di Santo magical gown that delivered on the chic, one of a kind vision I had in mind!! She made me feel confident and assured. She also gave me the best advice to not show my dress to anyone and let it be a surprise on the wedding day! Once I landed on my dream dress, Ultimate Bride was highly communicative with next steps. I do not live in Chicago, so they were very accommodating with helping me to schedule my fittings. I worked with Gianna for my fitting experience and she was INCREDIBLE. Gianna was highly knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable throughout the experience. She made sure the dress fit me light a glove and that I was confident and comfortable in it. Both Brandy and Gianna and the entire Ultimate Bride team helped me choose a dress that made me feel like the absolute best version of myself for my big day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I found my dream dress at Ultimate Bride, and I am so happy I did because the entire process from try on to alterations was stress free and enjoyable. They suggested ways to make my bridal look my own by making a semi-custom cape with lace that matched the lace of my dress. It was so fun to see the look come together and they were so attentive to every detail ensuring that everything was perfect at the end. It was very easy to contact them via text. I would highly recommend them to any bride!

All I can say is wow! I had the best experience at this salon! I had a smaller budget for my dress and they worked within that budget! I ended up falling in love with a sample gown that had minor damage and the manager fixed the lace herself before I picked up the gown! She said she searched their backroom till she found the same lace! Just really went above and beyond for me and I can’t recommend them enough!

I had the most amazing experience at Ultimate Bride and cannot recommend them enough! I ended up at Ultimate Bride because my first wedding dress (purchased from another Chicago bridal shop) was ruined during alterations. With only 2 months before my wedding, my mom called Ultimate Bride on a whim (and in a panic) to see if they could help me find a new dress, and Constantine (the owner) assured her it would not be a problem.

When I arrived to Ultimate Bride, Amanda and Lori were SO kind, patient, accommodating, and helpful. Amanda pulled several dresses for me to try that fit the exact style I was looking for (they have an amazing selection), and Lori called the designers to make sure that those specific dresses could be rush ordered since I was in a time crunch. The very last dress Amanda pulled out for me to try ended up being a new, off the rack sample that had never been worn before, and oddly enough was my exact size! They allowed me to purchase that exact dress the day I tried it on and I was able to leave feeling SO relieved and happy. I ended up loving this dress more than my first! I also loved that alterations were in house. Their alterations team is so talented and did an amazing job on my dress – I could not have been happier with how it turned out.

LASTLY, a glass of red wine was spilled on my dress at my wedding reception and completely stained the skirt – Diane spent nearly an hour on the phone with my mom guiding her through exactly who to reach out to and how to handle the cleaning process. We so appreciated her time and guidance!

Every single person we interacted with at Ultimate Bride went above and beyond to make a stressful situation such a positive and fun experience. I am recommending them to all of my newly engaged friends without hesitation Truly the best of the best!

The store has an amazing selection and loris incredible

I am obsessed with Ultimate Bride. Everyone there is so professional and so kind. I absolutely loved my Monique Lhuillier dress. The alterations were perfect. They made me feel at ease and also like a princess. Highly recommend Ultimate Bride for your designer wedding dress!

I am a fashion major, so the pressure was on for my dress. I told Wendy that I wanted something backless and was really in love with lace. I also mentioned I hate ball gowns. Wendy definitely abided by my backless theme but went off the beaten path with the material. While every dress was beautiful, I wanted a classic chic dress that I will love forever and ever. After my amazing experience at Ultimate Bride, I had another appt with a different salon. Wendy wrote down the dresses I really loved and the prices. After we went to the other place, which didn't even compare to Ultimate Bride, we had to decipher over drinks. I immediately called Ultimate Bride and asked if they could get out 4 dresses for me to try on one last time before the closed for the weekend. They were kind enough to bring out the dresses and have my friends come and see the gowns. I chose an Austin Scarlett dress with bow detail in the back. Wendy knew I wanted something interesting on the back and once she put a belt on, it was a slam dunk. Then the alterations team was amazing. I kept losing weight and they kept bringing it in and I wanted the bow to be fuller so they put netting in the bow. They were amazing. Not only that, but they shipped the dress to Iowa so we didn't need to pay tax. My experience from beginning to end was amazing at Ultimate Bride. Thank you so much for finding the perfect dress for me and having it fit perfectly!
