I really got an a-line princess style?!
I had no intention of getting a dress at my first store. To be honest with low self esteem and anxiety the idea of seeing a sea of white was making me panic. But the moment I walked in and met Donna I felt so relaxed. We picked so many dresses and she really helped me see myself as a June bride! I was torn between a fit and flare vs the aline...and after going back and forth with both dresses on, I went with the Allure Romance dress that is sexy but classy. Donna was never pressuring, she allowed me to walk around the store and just feel it and for that I am so thankful. I can't wait to surprise my fiancé with the dress because he will not expect it with my cowboy boots!I had no intention of getting a dress at my first store.

A Memorable Journey: My Wedding Dress Shopping Experience
Trying on dresses was a magical experience, each gown more beautiful than the last. From classic ballgowns to sleek mermaid silhouettes, I had the opportunity to explore a variety of styles and designs, each one making me feel like a princess/hottie.
What truly stood out was the personalized attention and care I received throughout the process and the fun experience offer by Donna. As a consultant, she took the time to understand my style, body shape, and wedding theme, offering valuable insights and recommendations along the way while providing light humor. Donna's expertise and genuine enthusiasm helped me narrow down my choices and ultimately find the dress of my dreams. She also really bonded with my family which made an everlasting impression with my grams, especially.
The moment I found "the one" was nothing short of magical. As I stood in front of the mirror, surrounded by loved ones, I knew I had found the perfect gown to make me feel confident, beautiful, and ready to say "I do."
Beyond the dress itself, the entire shopping experience was a cherished memory that I will treasure forever. I am grateful for the wonderful experience and cannot wait to walk down the aisle in the dress of my dreams. I owe both Donna & Michelle a thank you for alleviating an otherwise stressed 2024 bride.

Very friendly and professional!
It was an exciting time for my family and friends to look at dresses with me and Athena’s made us feel welcomed. They turned on fun music, chatted with my group, and encouraged us to explore every option. They were very friendly, professional, and helpful. I’m so in love with my dream wedding dress from there!It was an exciting time for my family and friends to look at dresses with me and Athena’s made us feel welcomed.

Seamlessly Stress Free
The most perfect experience I could ever ask for. From the moment I emailed them initially to the moment I walked out the door after my appointment, everything was seamless and stress free. Lexy was a wealth of knowledge! She is incredibly good at her job. She took all of the anxiety and stress of finding the dress away immediately. Not only does she know what she’s doing but she’s so kind and welcoming too. You won’t regret booking an appointment here, highly recommend!The most perfect experience I could ever ask for.

I had such a wonderful experience trying on wedding dresses. Donna was more than helpful. She was kind and also gave honest opinions. I felt very comfortable, and I was elated to find my dress. It was the very first dress I tried on from her recommendation, but she took the time to let me try on other ones, I would send everyone there !I had such a wonderful experience trying on wedding dresses.

The ideal wedding dress store
The people, the dresses, and the prices are all a brides dream. The quality of the dress I bought was SIGNIFICANTLY better than the dresses I have tried on at other stores. The price was also much less then other stores as well. This was the ideal place to go for a wedding gown.The people, the dresses, and the prices are all a brides dream.

Within budget
It can be a struggle to dress shop and have your budget completely ignored. Not here! They found exactly what I wanted right at my budget point. They were flexible when I had other dress spots that day and even stayed a few extra minutes so I could get back and pick the dress I found there. The store is nothing fancy from the outside but they had a great selection of gowns that were my style and fit my price point.

Donna was amazing
I finished lunch early and Donna was able to accommodate seeing me an hour earlier than planned. She listened to everything I wanted and the second dress I tried on was the one. She felt it, I felt it and everyone around us felt it. She helped me try on other dresses and eventually go back to THE ONE! She was very helpful, honest with the way the dresses looked on my body and listened to everything I wanted. Highly recommend!!I finished lunch early and Donna was able to accommodate seeing me an hour earlier than planned. She listened to everything I wanted and the second dress I tried on was the one.

I Said Yes
Athena’s was the perfect place to find my dream dress. As soon as we arrived, Donna was so helpful and went right to work finding out what style I liked and I ended up choosing the first dress she showed me (not the first I tried on though). She knew exactly what I was looking for when even I had some uncertainty around it. She also helped me look at dresses that I normally would have thought were not going to fit my body type (I’m plus size and worried about how I’d fit in the dresses and undergarments and whatnot). She was honest and gave me her opinion when she didn’t think something flattered my body type which was helpful because I have a tendency to say yes to please people, but she steered me in the right direction to choosing what I really wanted. Im so happy with the dress I found, and the price. And I even found a veil I love to go with it. Everything was perfect and I would tell any bride to let Athena’s help you Say Yes!Athena’s was the perfect place to find my dream dress.

Amazing!!!!
My experience at Athena’s bridal was amazing. Donna went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress. When I showed Donna what kind of dress I wanted she told me they had one in the back that just came in that she thought would be the perfect dress for me. After trying on that dress, it brought tears to my eyes. I knew right then that I found my wedding dress. Thank you donna for be so amazing and making this experience so special for me! I highly recommend Athena’s bridal!My experience at Athena’s bridal was amazing. Donna went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress.

Found my wedding dress here!!
I was shopping for my wedding dress and had a good experience at one shop and a terrible experience at another. I wanted to check out one last place before going home and called Athena’s. They told me I needed an appointment, but to come in and I was only a 5 minute drive away. I showed up and was treated with the utmost respect, honesty, love and true passion for helping me. I found my dress and I absolutely love the mother-daughter duo here!!

Wedding Dress
The first time I went to Athena's, it was like a dream come true. They listen to you about the dream dress you want, and will pick it right out. Athena was the only place that was able to pick out the dress right away. Unfortunately, I was a new bride so I did not say "Yes" to the dress. I still kept pictures of the dress I fell in love with. I went to Athena's the second time to try on a different dress, but I did not love the dress. I actually ended up asking to see the first dress, and THANKFULLY they were able to find it in the back, since it was a dress no longer on display. I SAID YES after trying it the second time.The first time I went to Athena's, it was like a dream come true. They listen to you about the dream dress you want, and will pick it right out.
