If I could give Melinda 1000 stars, I would!!

First, Melinda doesn't double book. When you visit her shop, you have the whole (beautiful) shop to yourself (and your guests, I went with my mom), and you receive Melinda's undivided attention. She spent TWO HOURS with us!

Melinda has you complete a detailed questionnaire before you come in, and she reads every word of it! When I walked in the door, she had looked through my Pinterest and already had some thoughts on what I was and wasn't going to love. My mom and I both felt like she did her homework to get to know me and my taste. Once I started trying on the gowns, I felt like she was great at reading what I was gravitating towards and what I wasn't.

But more than that, what impressed me most about Melinda was that she was clearly knowledgeable about the designers she carries and the Bridal industry. She had an exclusive on carrying Jesus Peiro's newest gowns, which demonstrated that she clearly has a strong relationship with the designer.

In addition, everything can be customizable. If I liked the top of one gown and the bottom of the other, but wanted buttons down the back, Melinda could work with the designer to custom make exactly what I wanted (and we did end up adding some customizations!!). She also had recommendations for alterations, hair, and makeup vendors.

I had 2 more dress appointments that day, and cancelled them both after committing to my dress with Melinda. I am so happy!! Everyone should go to Melinda and Your Dream Bridal. You won't get this experience, this selection of gowns, or this quality of a store/shop owner anywhere else.

Working with Malinda was SO fabulous and I recommend Your Dream Bridal to every bride that I know! From start to finish she personalizes every part of the process -- I bought my dress at the height of COVID, and she still made me feel so taken care of AND safe the whole time.

Before my visit, I filled out a fun style questionnaire and had a zoom call with her to start exploring my favorite styles. During the visit, my sister and closest friends were able to zoom in to a HUGE screen and experience all the fun with me from afar. I had visited other bridal salons before Your Dream Bridal, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Malinda narrowed in on my specific preferences after just a few dresses and ultimately she suggested working with a bridal designer to combine one dress's silhouette with another's fabric! Every designer that Malinda stocks can be customized in this way, and I was SO pleased with the idea and the outcome!

Two years later I finally got married and can share some pictures of the gorgeous dress! If you are reading this review, don't hesitate -- book an appointment with Malinda now!!!

Everything about my experience was perfect! I am so happy that I went to Your Dream Bridal and purchased my dream dress. Malinda, the salon owner, is super professional and very knowledgeable.
I love that every appointment is private and the entire salon is available just for you and your guests. This was my first experience trying on wedding dresses and I didn't know what I wanted. Malinda was patient and helpful, finding dresses that I asked for and others that she thought would fit my venue and style. It's very clear that she knows her stuff and honestly wants each bride to find her perfect dress. She asked important, big-picture questions that turned my indecisiveness into a vision that I had not been able to verbalize or describe.
Malinda is punctual in responding to appointment requests and emails. She did not pressure me into buying a dress at my first appointment and was very transparent about what dresses were in and out of my budget. I am so happy that I came back to Your Dream Bridal and bought my dress from Malinda. I got a beautiful sample right off the rack that was in excellent condition and allowed me to stay in budget!
