Rachel D. Getting married on 06/30/2024Best experience ever
My consultant Shelly had texted me the day before and asked which styles I liked and if I had gone shopping and which one was my favorite. I was honest and sent a picture of the one I tried on at ivory concept. When we got into van Cleve, I was stunned by the amount of dresses they had. When Shelly pulled is into our private room she immediately made me feel at ease and asked me what I was looking for and she had some concerns with the dress I tried on yesterday. She told me she had no filter and wanted me to be happy. Also she had stalked my Instagram and within two minutes of talking to me she already could tell my personality. when we went to look at the dresses she had specific ones she pulled for me. And when I liked one, I asked her opinion. She was honest and said your boobs would be out in that dress or no I don’t think it’s a good fit for you because of blah blah blah. We started out with 8 dresses and she put me in one she pulled to start. She wanted me to compare it to the one I had tried on yesterday. When I tried on this dress it was perfect. I said well I love this one way more than yesterday. My mom cried and I cried. I tried on the others and she thought one would give it a run for it’s money but it didn’t. I eventually said yes to the dress and it was the most amazing experience ever! It felt like I was talking to a friend and someone who understood me and my personality!!! I highly recommend going there!!Van Cleve's reply:
Rachel, thank you so much! I loved our time together so much!! It was so much fun! It was my pleasure to be your consultant, and I feel so lucky to be your person this process. Please let me know if you need anything.
XOXO

Breanna K. Getting married on 06/22/2024Van Cleve Wedding Dress Shopping
Van Cleve was amazing! They had all the styles of wedding dresses that I wanted. Caroline was wonderful and super professional. She made the process run smoothly and knew exactly what my style was within just 5 minutes of talking to her. It was so nice to have my own little room for my guests to relax while I tried on dresses. It was an amazing experience and Caroline was fantastic!Van Cleve's reply:
Hi Breanna! Thank you so much for taking the time to write and share about your experience! I am so excited for you, and it was such a pleasure helping you find the perfect dress! Congratulations again, and I can't wait to see the final result when the big day comes! XOXO, Caroline.
