About

Universe Bridal and Prom, located in West Lafayette, Ohio (east central Ohio), is one of the largest bridal salons in Ohio and surrounding states. We carry thousands of bridal gowns (organized by style) in stock in all sizes (including hundreds of plus sizes up to size 34) and price ranges to fit most budgets. We also carry the all-new Bridgerton Bridal Line from Allure Bridals.

We also offer layaway and build-to-order options. A special-order bridal gown can take up to five months to arrive.

We are open by appointment. Please call or message us here to schedule an appointment.

Shopping at Universe Bridal and Prom may be different from other bridal stores. We encourage you and your guests to take an active approach to selecting your wedding dress.

We respect your privacy and allow your guests to assist you in the fitting room. We will also assist you as much as you'd like, helping you zip, clip, and fluff the trains while trying on.

We allow you (and your shopping party of up to 4 guests) to look through our huge selection of dresses to select ones you'd like to try on. We can also pull dresses for you if you'd like.

(NOTE: If you are looking for a bridal salon where you are not able to select your own dresses to try on, a consultant chooses all the dresses for you to try on, and they're the only ones to help you dress and undress ~ that is not who we are. We wouldn't want you to be disappointed if that is what you are expecting. 🙂)

I found the perfect dress

I was very pleased when I walked in and was helped almost immediately and everyone was very pleasant and very nice and I purchased the 1st dress that I tried on because I knew it was the one. I actually received a call from them because it came in early.

Selection and stress free!

Love the selection and staff at Universe. They made putting together my bridal party with gals from multiple states so simple and stress free. Ordering my dress was a breeze and they were great at helping me find a veil when the one I wanted wasn’t available in time. Definitely a great group yow work with!

Beautiful dresses just not mine

This bridal shop is absolutely gorgeous. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and the consultant, Michelle was awesome. I tried on probably 20-30 dresses, but didn’t find any that I really loved. They have a LARGE selection of dresses, and a varying price range!!

Loved shopping here

I had an amazing experience with Universe bridal! I love the fact that you can go through all the racks of gowns yourself and pick as many as you want to try on. No appointments, no limit to the number of dresses you can pull. You can always ask for assistance if you need it too. There is such a wide variety of price points that there is something for every budget. Bonus, I ordered my dress in June and was told it would arrive in October and it only ended up taking 2 weeks to arrive! I'm sure that's not always the case but it was really nice! They provided a list of seamstresses in the surrounding counties as well which was super helpful!

I went to 6 dress shops and finally found my perfect dress at Universe! When you pull up it turns you off to it, because the outside is kind of junky and doesn't look like a bridal shop. But when you walk in and make your way to the bridal section it is totally worth it! SO SO MANY DRESSES. You can try on as many as you like, and I had a hard time picking my favorite! Also, the samples aren't only 10-14. They had all sizes even 4's and 6's for petite brides. I recommend this to any Bride looking for a dress!

I had such an incredible experience at this store. Melissa was so sweet and helpful, and didn't mind me talking her ear off haha. Although the store seems overwhelming at first (they have so many dresses!!) it only took me a few hours to find my perfect dress within my budget!!

The ladies at Universe were very professional and easy to work with. I tried on TONS of dresses and she was a nice with the last one as she was with the first! They were very easy to work with and let me make a payment plan.

I had to get a different dress at the last minute about 1.5 months before the wedding (the one I was originally going to wear was going to need too much alterations). The staff was helpful and understanding of my situation and made sure I found "the" dress. I spent 2 hours trying on dresses non-stop before finding the one I absolutely loved and was around my size.

I went to this vendor back in October for my dress. The staff was very helpful and a lot of fun to work with. Even though they were really busy they were really patient with me and helped pick out a lot of different dresses for me to try on.
We also went back earlier this year to find a dress for my mom. Even though they didn't have any mother of the bride dresses they helped up pick out a dress that worked perfectly for my mom. While there on the second trip I found the perfect dress for my rehearsal (My wedding was peacock themed and this dress had a peacock design on it) and they helped with picking that out also!

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
