    In love with my dress

    My wedding dress was amazing, it was handpicked from lovely brides! We had an amazing experience from walking in the door to buying my dream dress!

    The Perfect Dress

    I can count on my hand the times in the past two years that I’ve worn a dress, but I decided I did want to wear one for my wedding. On my wedding day, I wanted to feel like a sorcerer from the future, an old-timey Hollywood starlet, or a powerful witch. My stylist Julie understood the assignment perfectly. She had a number of my selections available, and also suggested gowns that were within my vision. The result was a gown that I was absolutely in love with! Thank you, Julie, for being a part of my perfect wedding day

    Lovely Bride's reply:

    Hi Cristina,
    So happy to know you felt amazing on your wedding day! Congrats!

    LOVE The Lovely Bride Philly

    I cannot say enough about this place! My sister found her dream dress here and when I got engaged I knew this was the one and only place that I wanted to go for my dress. Being a plus size bride, I wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and confident and this plays continues to blow my mind. They are just amazing and gave me some perfect options to try on without completely overwhelming me. They never pushed me towards a style or made me feel uncomfortable. We ended up combining details from a few dress to make my dream dress (which was their suggestion) and I couldn’t have been happier. If you live in the Philly area please make sure to visit The Lovely Bride, you will not be disappointed!!

    Hi Kim!

    Thank you so much for your review! We loved helping you and your sister find your perfect gowns! Congratulations! Send us pics :)

    Simply the best!

    Lovely Bride Philadelphia, you will forever have a very special place in my heart. Thank you for making the dress shopping experience what it was. Ivy, thank YOU for being YOU. You were such a pleasure to work with and made the process so easy and enjoyable. Lovely Bride is a beautiful store with an amazing selection of absolutely gorgeous dresses.

    The first time I tried on my dress, I was pretty sure it was the one, but I left that day without buying it and came back a week or two later. I also appreciated this because Lovely did not pressure me into making a commitment and when I came back to try it on again (and this time buy it), Ivy spent extra time with me to accessorize and pick the most BEAUTIFUL veil to go with it.

    I was a COVID Bride and for the longest time, I clung to the dress shopping experience. It was one of the only moments that I truly felt like a bride. The fact that I had such a wonderful experience at Lovely really helped me to bottle up the joy of this time and treasure that moment.

    Anddddd one the silving lining of COVID is that I got to wear my dress twice !!

    Jackie,
    Thank you so much for your review! Knowing that we could be a bright light through all the postponements and confusion makes us so happy! Congratulations on your marriage! Wishing you all the best!

    Beautiful gowns and excellent service

    This is a bit of a delayed review because my wedding was delayed due to COVID, but I had the BEST experience shopping for my wedding dress at Lovely Bride. Liz helped me during my visit and was so kind and patient with me. Thanks to Liz I was the most relaxed and comfortable at Lovely Bride out of all the places I went to. On top of having the best stylists and staff, they have the best selection of dresses in the area. I can’t recommend them enough!

    Amazing experience

    I cannot speak highly enough about Lovely Bride. First off, the shop is so beautiful and spotless. It was exactly what I imagined when I thought of wedding dress shopping. The gowns were absolutely stunning, and ultimately I chose my wedding dress here (it was an easy decision!) The biggest reason for leaving a review was how unbelievably helpful my stylist, Stephanie, was. She was so attentive and patient, and she really had such a great feel for what my style is. I was so nervous about choosing a dress, but the true reason I ended up with my perfect dress was because of Stephanie!!

    Lovely Bride's reply:

    Hi Jamie!
    Congrats on your wedding! So happy for you!
    Thank you for your kind review! We are so happy you had such a positive experience with Stephanie!

    Love Lovely Bride!

    Thank you, Lovely Bride!

    Searching for your wedding dress during a worldwide pandemic isn't ideal, but they made it SO much easier and fun! Not only did they make my mom and I feel safe, but they also have a wonderful selection of beautiful dresses. Some other bridal shops I went to were a bit pushy, but the staff at Lovely Bride were an absolute joy to work with, super knowledgable and helpful. I'm so happy to have found my dream dress with them. Would highly recommend!

    Great service during COVID shutdown

    As a bride that chose a dress during COVID, I was a bit bummed that I would not have the leisurely, mimosas and family style bridal appointment. However, Lovely Bride had a system that still worked pretty well. I got to talk to the consultant that I would be working with in the store and choose some dresses ahead of time, which were waiting for me in the store when I arrived. Although the experience was rushed due to COVID, and my family and friends were on Zoom instead of in person, it was still a pretty good appointment. My appointment ended right before I got to try a veil on with the dress I was pretty sure I wanted, and the manager kindly let me stay an extra 30 min to try one on and check it really was the dress I wanted. I really appreciated the time that they gave me at the end. Their selection of dresses was good, and they seemed very honest about their prices and the other prices I should remember in the total cost such as alterations and taxes.

    Lovely Bride's reply:

    Thank you so much for sharing your review! Love getting to see the photos of how it all came together! So glad we were able to help you safely find your gown!

    Picking out a wedding dress is the most exciting and scary thing to do! Thankfully I was in the amazing hands of Ivy and her team at Lovely bride. I wanted a dress that had something a little different and made me feel amazing! I thought I would get a gown with some detail and ended up with a beautiful Rosa Clara dress with feathers and a ton of beading! I loved my experience throughout the dress shopping experience and coming back for accessories. I highly recommend Lovely bride who is looking for more of a boutique one on one experience with personal attention. Thank you to the Lovely Bride team for making it so fun and easy!

    Loved Lovely!!

    I picked up my wedding dress last weekend and can say I had an amazing experience with Lovely Bride from start to finish! Both the stylist who helped me find my dress and the stylist I worked with for accessories really listened to what I wanted and I never felt pressure to go over budget. I wish I could go back and do it all again and would recommend Lovely Bride to any friend searching for their dream dress!

    Lovely Bride's reply:

    Congrats, Carmen! We are so happy for you! You will be a stunning bride! We loved working with you!

    Easy & Authentic Experience

    I had a wonderful experience at the Lovely Bride! Amanda was my bridal consultant for both of my appointments. I loved both the online and in-person experience with the lovely bride. Not only was it easy to book appointments through the website, but I also received helpful follow-up emails after my appointments. While in the shop, Amanda was very attentive to my wants and needs. She pulled all the gowns I wanted to try and also helped me choose ones that I didn't see myself. She was sweet and respectful. Unlike my experience at other bridal shops, the lovely bride did not try to pressure me into buying a dress. Overall, great quality dresses, amazing service and easy online experience made my dress purchase easy and authentic.

    Lovely Bride's reply:

    Giovanna, we are so happy you enjoyed your experience with us! Amanda loved working with you! Congrats!!!

    It was like shopping for dresses with my friends..

    I can't get over the excellent experience I had at Lovely Bride Philadelphia. I visited the location twice, one to try on a few dresses, and one to pick mine up. I found a ton of stylish, fashion forward, different dresses by the designers I had been eyeing up for MONTHS. The girls were extremely helpful and honest and just so great to have a part of my experience. Lovely Bride is amazing!

    For the bride who wants something a little different!

    The dresses at Lovely Bride are amazing. I knew going into my wedding that I wasn't going to want a really traditional gown, so I decided to try Lovely Bride since I knew it was an indie wedding shop. I wound up going 3 different times before I settled on a dress because I was really torn between two that I loved. I finally decided on a MWL dress that was absolutely beautiful; a gown with a nude base that was the perfect balance of bridal and boho. Taylor helped me at each appointment and she was great. She was super sweet, knowledgable and helpful. She pulled awesome dresses for me. I would definitely recommend for any bride who wants something that will be bridal but still reflect their own style.

    Favorite wedding dress store by far!

    Lovely Bride was absolutely amazing and I had the best experience with them! They did such a good job asking me the right questions to figure out what I liked and what I wanted (because I honestly had no idea!). The dresses they have in stock are great quality, and their selection is great! They also don't keep the dresses in bags so you can actually walk around and shop easily. I ended up buying a Made with Love dress from them!

    A great shop for all price ranges

    I went to Lovely Bride Philly multiple times during my gown searching process and every single time was an awesome experience. Both Sarah and Ivy were GREAT - they didn't get frustrated with me for coming in so many times and genuinely seemed excited when I finally found the dress! I personally love Lovely Bride because they are one of the few that carry Limor Rosen and her work is outstanding. I went to a few of her trunk shows and I ended up choosing her Aria gown in a split size and had the bottom customized to be ivory. It was amazing! I also recommend Prim and Perverse for alterations - Courtney was great to work with.

    Comfortable and Special

    Lovely Bride Philly was just that--Lovely! The boutique was comfortable and quiet, which felt more personal than some of the bustling salons I tried before. I was looking for a dress that was unique and edgy but wasn't exactly sure what I wanted. I worked with Ivy, who was an absolute dream. She made me feel comfortable while helping me narrow down and visualize what I wanted to feel like on my wedding day. It was like shopping with a trusted girlfriend who just happened to be an expert in all things bridal. Once I found my dress, Ivy suggested some great styling tips and brought the whole vision all together. If you are looking for an intimate shop to find a unique gown, do not pass up Lovely!

    Jess was absolutely amazing!

    I had such a wonderful experience with my wedding dress shopping and Jess at Lovely Bride played a huge part in that! She totally got my style and what was important to me in a dress, all while being completely respectful of my budget. She was absolutely amazing! The entire experience was just so personalized and felt so special for my mom, mother in law, and maids of honor. It was such special day and I will be forever grateful!! Thank you Kate McDonald for designing the dress of my dreams!

    Lovely Bride was a hit!

    I found my dream dress at Lovely Bride Philly! Sarah was wonderful to work with. She listened to my vision and brought all of the dresses that fit within my explanation. The dress came in quicker than I had expected. When I went to pick up my dress, I found the most beautiful diamond encrusted head piece to compliment my dress. Lovely Bride was a hit!

    Saved the Best for Last

    My dress was perfect and my experience with Lovely was the reason why I loved it so. I bought my dress over a year before my wedding which sounds insane but I knew I had the time to search and I really searched. I looked at numerous designers and quickly realized what I liked and didn't. Then, I learned majority of places I was looking did not have the designers and style I was looking for; in came Lovely.
    I was in Philadelphia for a bridal shower last year and thought I'll make an appointment so my mom and I can go look. This was my 4th bridal shop searching but I was panicking because I still had plenty of time if I did not find what I was looking for. I gave my dress consultant my price range and she got to searching. She was honest with me and let me know one of the designers I was looking at started at my highest I would go. I tried on quite a few dresses in the hour and a half appointment, which was another reason I loved this place, and when my time was almost up I still had nothing I really loved. One final dress was brought in, which the hanger did nothing for, and she said I think you're going to love this. I put it on and before she pulled the curtain for my mom to see I exclaimed "this is it!" My mom saw it and agreed.
    Lovely has an amazing selection that is unique and with a variety of price ranges. If you want a dress that only a handful of people will wear, I can't recommend this place enough!

    Great experience

    Ivy is a genius at finding the right dress and making any type of bride feel super special. She was extremely patient with me - even though it took me 3 appointments to commit, she was upbeat, fun and friendly throughout it all. The dress arrived earlier than expected, and the whole process, from picking out what to try on to picking it up, was wonderful.
