I was looking for a specific Galia Lahav dress that the team helped me order and reassured me during the whole process, especially thankful for Francesca’s help in adding extra beading to my dream dress, every time we went me, my mom, grandma and sisters had a great time with Francesca and Kara. They have a great selection of other designers as well, would highly recommend! -

I could not say more amazing things about Francescas! From the second I walked into the store, I felt like part of the family! I ended up losing weight and moving out of state, and Francesca’s helped every step of the way and reshaped my dress like nothing ever changed. Special shout out to Kara for being amazing and helping with every detail! Run, don’t walk to Francesca’s to get the most beautiful gown for your special day! -

Francesca’s Bridal had the BEST selection of dresses when I was looking for the perfect boho meets modern gown for my wedding. They took the time to listen to the styles I knew I liked and the ones I knew I didn’t like. They never tried to pressure me into a dress that I wasn’t overly thrilled about which made the choice so easy when I found the one! The moment I put my
dress on in the shop I knew it was the perfect one for me. They were so helpful throughout the entire process which really made me feel good about choosing them as the place to buy my gown. I love that they’re a family-owned and run business it just gave it such a more welcoming feeling when visiting the shop. I am so happy that I found my dream dress at Francesca’s! -

I’m from Baltimore but was living in Pittsburgh & planning my wedding there when I went dress shopping. I’m indecisive so I thought a fun day of getting my feet wet at home would be fun. I went to one store before Francesca’s and I left feeling discouraged. When I walked in francesca’s I felt a breath of fresh air, this store was different. First, you’re treated like the only bride when Francesca or Kara is working with you. Second, their selection of gowns are truly beyond my wildest dreams. I felt gorgeous in every single one and could have played dress up all day. But Francesca knew exactly what I wanted and put me in the Rivini gown of my dreams. I couldn’t leave without buying that dress. Being 5 hours away during alterations was hard but Kara was so accommodating to when I was able to come back and planned things around my schedule. When coronavirus halted my wedding plans, Kara knew exactly what to do so my dress was perfect when my day finally arrived. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with these ladies. They truly make dreams come true. -

Lindsey Sent on 09/27/2019A very, very happy bride!
I made an appointment with Francesca's Bridal to view the selection of the Wilderly Bride trunk show last weekend.
I want to start off by saying I had no idea what I style I wanted and had zero expectations that they'd have something I'd fall in love with. I was completely open to "leaving it to the professionals".
My MOH and I were greeted and checked in moments after we arrived. Kara Moro brought us champagne while we waited and let us know that she would be with us momentarily. While waiting, we browsed the gowns in the trunk show and I picked out a few to try on.
It was my turn to begin trying on dresses. I disliked one or two elements of every gown I picked out and was growing frustrated. Yes-you read that right; from the girl who had zero expectations coming into this, I was growing frustrated that I wouldn't be able to find a gown.
Kara brought me a few more gowns and asked me to tell me what I liked and disliked about them. Not only did Kara voluntarily fan me with a wedding magazine to cool me off while I was trying on dresses, she patiently worked with me and critically listened to what I liked and disliked about every gown I tried on. The last gown she hung up is a very, very special gown. You are probably not going to believe me when I tell you this but Kara found the dress I fell in love with!
I had a 5-star experience from the moment I walked into Francesca's until the moment I left. Kara and the rest of Francesca's are phenomenal and I will recommend this salon time and time again. Thank you all for making my first bridal appointment such a wonderful experience! -

Alana Sent on 12/16/2015I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to find my wedding dress in this beautiful bridal boutique. Francesca and Tori were so accommodating in my struggle to find the perfect dress. They assist you throughout the whole dress process, giving you advice on what under garments you should wear, to what dress material would be most practical for where you are getting married. They were super helpful and super sweet; not to mention very hands-on in the process, which I find extremely important considering how stressful dress shopping can tend to be. I was in love with my dress when I bought it and am still just in love and amazed with its beauty today. Thank you ladies for helping to make my wedding day beautiful and truly memorable! -

Erica Sent on 09/11/2013I went to Francesca's because a couple of my friends bought their wedding gowns there and all of them were beautiful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The have a good selection of dresses by good designers. The first dress I tried on was the one that I ended up buying. I will recommend any future brides to get their dress here. -

Megan Sent on 12/14/2012Both my mother and I found our gowns at Francesca's. I wasn't exactly sure of what I wanted but the staff, including Francesca were able to help me find the dress that was beyond my dreams. I felt amazing and looked amazing in my gown. My mother looked regal and stunning, as she should being the Mother of the Bride. The staff were friendly and genuinely interested in my wedding. Maria, the seamstress was able to shorten my dress without taking away from the beauty of the lace detailing at the bottom of my dress. Although it was one of the furthest drives for vendors, it was completely worth it. I would recommend Francesca's Bridal for any bride that wants to be treated with respect and individuality! -

Melody Sent on 04/24/2012I absolutely loved my dress and working with Francesca and Brittany. They were so accommodating and understanding of my situation with my parents living out of the country and helped my requests. The seamstress was amazing and she did an amazing job of getting my dress to fit me perfectly and the bustle looked great!
They were so easy to work with and they even steamed my veil (even though I got it from somewhere else!)

Amber Sent on 02/28/2012I really had the BEST experience at Francesca's. I am having a destination wedding and already bought my ceremony/reception dress at Betsy Robinson's-where I felt so pushed into buying that dress that I came so close to walking out just soley based on the fact that they wouldn't let me breathe! I bought a Kenneth Pool dress there during a sample sale for a great price, but I could have done without my saleswoman following my fmil and I around the salon saying I would never find a dress like it so don't even bother looking! Then when I had the dress on and my fmil and I were discussing whether or not to buy it, the saleswoman started pulling the other sales people out of their lunch break just to look at me and tell me how great I looked in the dress. It screamed desperation- "I need your commission!!" I needed a dress to wear for pictures the day after the wedding for our trash the dress session, and the Kenneth Pool silk taffeta just wouldn't work. I decided to try Francesca's after reading the good reviews on here, and I am so glad that I did. The salon is really out of the way for me to drive to, but for the service its well worth it!! From the moment I talked to my sales woman Gerri on the phone, I felt like I was a family member- not just a customer. The salon itself is gorgeous- and not too small or too big. They have a great selection of bridesmaids and motb dresses too. Gerri was very attentive to what I was looking for and encouraged me to pull anything from the racks that I liked. She made an effort to get to know me more personally, and we had a great conversation, making the whole experience a lot of fun. Gerri told me that no one at the salon works off of commission, so she wanted me to know that when she gives an opinion its only out of pure honesty of what she thinks looks flattering or not. She has great taste by the way!! Francesca made a point of being a part of every bride's experience while I was there, offering up opinions or even giving backround stories of the dresses and designers. I thought it was interesting to find out that Francesca is a seamstress, so her insight on how the dresses should fit is very helpful. Now when I go back for my fittings, accessories, etc the staff greets me with hugs and that wonderful "family" feel. I love the dress that I bought from Francescas so much (and is the one in the picture featured here!) that I will wear it when I get legally married here in the states before I leave for the destination wedding, not just for the TTD! I love my gown too much just to trash it :) -

Mary Sent on 01/03/2010Brittany was the best, sooo sweet! And Kara too! They ordered my dream dress (seen at another store) and complemented it with 2 amazing veils. They were very professional and handled everything very quickly and well.
I also had all my alterations done with them, and the seamstress was great- listened to everything I wanted and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. Everything was perfect.
Thanks Britt!!! :-) -

Exceeded my expectations and found my dream dress!
Francesca (the owner) and Marla (the seamstress) were amazing to work with! This was my seventh bridal boutique I visited and was still unsure about what style I liked. I knew I wanted a clean, classy, plain dress but had not yet found a style I loved. I tried on an Anne Barge dress and immediately fell in love. After the purchase, I wanted to add a topper onto the dress and Francesca and Marla worked to make my dream come true. I LOVED my dress and couldn't have imagined choosing it anywhere else. I 10/10 recommend Francescas Bridal and could not have imagined getting my dream dress anywhere else. -

Amazing Dresses
The best experience! My sister and I both found our beautiful dresses at Francesca's Bridal. Kara brought out several dresses which were amazing, but when I tried on my dress, everyone said that's the one. Kara knew from the moment I put it on that it was made for me, and she was right. I got all types of compliments about the dress. I want to thank Kara for her impeccable customer service, advice and all around pleasant demeanor. You will not be steered wrong! -
