The Only Shop Every Bride Needs

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vintage Chic! I went in not expecting to purchase a dress that day, but I walked out with my dream gown, veil, and headpiece. Shelby was absolutely amazing—she made me feel beautiful, confident, and truly cared for throughout the entire process.
Vintage Chic was the very first bridal shop I visited, and it ended up being the only one I needed. Shelby was so patient with me and my indecisive mind, always listening carefully and guiding me with kindness. She turned what could have been a stressful decision into a joyful, unforgettable experience.
My time at Vintage Chic was nothing short of a dream come true, and I would highly recommend them to any bride-to-be!

Personalized and perfect!

Vintage Chic was my second stop in my pursuit to find my dress. Not only did Shelby already have dresses pulled to fit my vision, but also having the shop to myself made the experience feel so personalized! After trying on multiple dresses, and feeling a little overwhelmed, Shelby was extremely helpful in bringing things back into focus. She was able to bring out dresses that were not part of my original vision based on how I responded to different styles. I trusted the process and was able to find my dress, and SAY YES TO THE DRESS!

I would recommend Vintage Chic to anyone who is either starting their dress shopping journey, or is feeling overwhelmed by all of the options!

Huge pro is that they have multiple sizes of their samples. Helps you get a good feel of the fit

Shelby is absolutely amazing!!

Vintage Chic was an amazing experience from the moment I made the appointment. Shelby is amazing, we texted back and forth about dress options that would work for me in my price range as well as style! She is super sweet, the day of the appointment I was extremely nervous and I was so afraid that I wouldn’t find something I liked but that was not the case. From the minute I walked in, Shelby made all my worries and nerves go away! Now, on the topic of the bridal shop- it was absolutely everything I have ever dreamed of. It was perfect, so beautiful inside. That day was perfect and I couldn’t ask for a better experience! It was everything a girl could dream of and more- just absolutely perfect.

Great people, great experience!

Shelby was so great in the search for my dress! I had no clue what I wanted, but she really listened to what I didn't like and helped me find something I was happy and comfortable in! She takes the time to get to know each bride, I can't say enough good things about Vintage Chic!

Size Inclusive and Confidence Boosting

I have been following Vintage Chic Bridal boutique for years now on social media and finally had my own opportunity to go wedding dress shopping for myself and knew this was going to be where I’d find my dream dress and I was right!! The boutique is stunning and had its own parking lot which was nice! I picked Vintage Chic because I knew they were size inclusive and had a great variety of dresses that I could try on in my size. Their dress selection was stunning. Shelby, the owner, was very thorough before my appointment in asking what I was looking for and had dresses picked out for me based on her expertise and she was not wrong. She hand picked my dream dress and she knew just from looking at me that I had found my dress. To top it all off, after I chose my dress me and my family were treated to a celebratory champagne toast and a confetti popper!! I would recommend Vintage Chic to anyone but especially to any of my fellow mid/plus size girlies because the experience was so confidence boosting and welcoming! I’ll update with photos after my wedding date!

Amazing experience!

Vintage Chic was amazing from the moment I made my appointment! Before I even met Shelby in person we text back and forth about what kind of dress I was looking for, sent examples, and made me feel really listened to! Upon arrival she greeted my party and I as if we had been friends for years! My other dress shopping experience hadn’t really been a positive one and Shelby was sure to tell me right off the bat that this visit would NOT be like that and everything I said she took into account to suggest the PERFECT dress for me. Vintage chic was such a clean beautiful place and was overall so welcoming. Like I said it felt like we’d been friends for years! EVERYONE in my party absolutely loved the shops and the experience! I’d recommend everyone to book an appointment at Vintage Chic!!

Personal and Efficient

Shelby was like my own personal shopper and was able to help me find the perfect dress on the very 1st time! I had been to 4 other bridal boutiques and each time I was asked to rummage through rows of gowns. Not here! It was so relaxed and personable. My Mom and I really appreciated Shelby and Judy throughout the whole experience as she did text me prior to the appointment to gain insight on the venue and me personally. It was everything I was looking for!

It’s a must go!

I cannot recommend Shelby and the shop enough! This was by far, my most fun and helpful dress shopping experience. Shelby is a natural and knows exactly how to help guide you to your dress. The shop is beautiful and they have so many beautiful dress choices. This is a must stop!

Great experience!

I not only purchased my wedding dress and veil from Vintage Chic, but also a dress preservation kit the week after my wedding! Shelby and her Mom remembered me and the dress I said yes to, which was very humbling! My experiences were one of a kind, personal, and catered to me! I absolutely loved my dress and veil and couldn’t have asked for a better experience dress shopping. Dubuque is so lucky to have such a unique and beautiful bridal store. I would highly recommend Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique!
