Beautiful Bridal Moment
I loved my experience as a Nikki's Bride. I felt so special and my consultant made me so comfortable. I felt so beautiful and the options were endless. I was almost worried I wouldn't be able to choose. But my consultant told me that of course there are lots of beautiful dresses but only one dress that made me feel like my best self. They really help you find not only your dream dress but your bridal style as well. I highly recommend booking an appointment at Nikki's you won't regret it ! -

Amazing selection and service !
After shopping at multiple bridal shops in the area I finally said yes at Nikki’s. The staff and selection of dresses were amazing and far exceeded my expectations. I wish I would have shopped here first but I’m glad I found my dream dress ! -

Hailey is amazing!
I went to the Nikki's at Wiregrass Mall. Hailey was my consultant and she was just the best. She listened when I described what I was looking for and put me in the most beautiful dresses. Hailey was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and so much fun to work with! She really made this process relaxing, comfortable and fun. Thanks to Hailey, I found my dream dress! She even opened the store on a day the store was closed so I could come back with a small entourage and say yes to the dress! Thank you Hailey! -

My dream dress!
I found my dress at Nikki's, palm harbor location. After telling them what style I was looking for, my dress was the first one I tried on! I tried on a few others after that just to make sure:) The staff were helpful as my dress came in. I went down in sizes from when I ordered my dress but Kathy did a wonderful job with alterations! My dress fit perfectly my wedding day :) Thank you !! Photographs by NeilShannon Photography :)-

Great selection beautiful dresses
I got my dress, veil and bridesmaid dress for Nikkis. They had a great selection of dresses and I was able to find my dream dress! My dress came in quickly and got perfectly with only minor alterations needed. They have a great selection of bridesmaid and mother of the bride dresses as well. I always had a great experience when I was there. I would recommend Nikkis for your wedding!-

I had the best experience!
The staff was so helpful and nice. This was the first and last place I went to shop for my wedding dress. My consultant made me feel comfortable and really took the time to listen to what I loved/ wanted in a dress. It only took four dresses until I found the one. I am extremely grateful! -

5 Stars all the way!
I bought my gorgeous wedding gown at Nikki’s with the help of my kind, no pressure sales consultant Cheryl. I had been to five other dress shops including the famous Bridals by Lori in Atlanta and I had purchased a one of a kind dress in Colorado. I did not find the perfect dress though until I went to Nikki’s! I have a strange body type as I am under 5 foot and extremely chesty. Cheryl was able to help me select the right style to flatter and elongate my figure. Then Kathy in alterations did an amazing job making the dress fit me to a tee! She even made custom sleeves for me in a short time frame! I highly recommend this team! My friends could not stop talking about how much they loved my dress and my strong handsome husband was blown away! -

Perfection
I went to the Wesley Chapel location. I was 15 min early and the consultant, a male, was very friendly and accommodating . He asked me what I liked and didn’t like. He pulled gowns that I liked and some that he thought I would like. I tried on 4 gowns. I loved all of them. Then he put me in gown 5. Oh boy, it was stunning and I thought this was it. He asked if he could put me in one more gown. It fit like a glove. But I didn’t love everything about it. He then told me that I could combine what loved about gown 5 with gown 6. He also called the designer to make sure it was possible with this gown. The designer was more than happy to make a custom dress for me. The entire experience was fantastic. This was the 4th shop I had gone to. I’m so glad a friend of mine recommended this place to me. He allowed my friend to take pictures and video. I wish I could remember hi name. I’m still on a high from finding my dream gown. -

Great Experience
Nikki's was my first and only stop when dress shopping. I fell in love with my dress and ordered it the same day. The staff was SO helpful and just made me feel beautiful. My dress was initially supposed to come in in November and Nikki's staying in touch with me - calling me to let me know it had been delayed but not to worry. I just picked up my dress a week ago and it is just as perfect as I remember it! The girls did a great job measuring me because it fits almost perfectly - even though I was worried about the size when we ordered it I trusted them. We have since gone back to Nikki's for both the bridesmaid dresses and the tuxedos. When I walk in the store they greet me by name and immediately know who I am - which is a wonderful feeling. So far extremely pleased with my experience at Nikki's. -

I had booked my appointment with Nicki herself at a bridal expo that I had went to. When I went there the bridal consultant Cheryl at first had told me that they may not have anything in my budget which was $500 and I was really upset but my family encouraged me to stay and try on dresses anyways. Cheryl said that she would do everything she could to help me find the dress that would fit my body type perfectly. I am plus size and was worried about looking like a cupcake or a busted can of bisquits. She was absolutly amazing! I actually ended up finding my dream dress and my dad ended up surprising me and buying it for me. She was not pushy and she was so encouraging and to be honest if it wasn't for her I probably would have gone to a different place. Cheryl is amazing at her job! -

Amazing! Love the staff, and the boutique itself is gorgeous! Big thanks to all of the ladies who helped and made me feel like family while doing so. Everything was done with a breeze. Location was also perfect for me. Couldn’t have asked for a better dress shopping experience! From bridesmaids dresses, to my stunning wedding gown; we are all beyond satisfied! Thank again!! -

Nikkis Glitz and Glam Boutique was my first and last destination for my wedding dress. I’m a plus size bride (standard dress size 12-14) and was really nervous about my body in a wedding gown. The associates there helped steer me into a dress that looked stunning on me. In that dress I had no insecurities. Staff was always so friendly and professional. The seamstress is amazing! Just an FYI be sure to be on time to your appointment for alterations as every single minute is important to them. They also have a huge selection of prom, HOCO, and mother of the bride dresses. They even have suits for rent. WAY better than visiting a Davids Bridal (which I did and received horrible customer service). -

I had been to two other places before coming to Nikki's. Saw their booth at a Bridal Expo in Tampa and decided to make an appointment. I thought I wanted something simple and classic, but seemed to strike out at the other places. Everything just seemed ok, nothing made me feel special or like a bride. Nikki's made me step out of my comfort zone and try on such a variety of dresses. I ended up saying yes to an amazing Allure gown, that was the opposite of everything I had thought I wanted. I'm glad I didn't settle on something simple, and will truly feel like a bride on my wedding day. I absolutely recommend checking out their boutique if you're looking for something fun and glamorous, and even if you're not, you may surprise yourself! -

I came in to Nikki's after having a been to another salon. The staff here at Nikki's was very accommodating with the fact that I was looking for a dress that wasn't really the traditional wedding dress. Linda was more than helpful, she was heaven sent. I told her that I wanted a short dress, so of course she pulled dresses in that length. She then mentioned something I had never thought of, hemming a longer ball gown to the length of my choosing! After this epiphany we found my dress! I will definitely have to alter the length, but all other aspects of the dress were PERFECT! I am so glad the staff here was warm and welcoming and helped me find the perfect dress. -

I love Nikki's!!! They were the first place I went shopping for my Bridal dress. I originally came in looking for a certain dress, found it and thought I loved it but I told them I needed to sleep on it first, which they were totally fine with. I came back the following weekend with my bridal party (at that time I had dress regret). I tried it on and knew it was not the dress for me. Toni, the owner, had pulled varies types of dresses for me and was very patient as I tried on multiple dresses. I ended up falling in love with a blush Allure Bridal dress! I can not wait for it to arrive!!! Nikki, Linda and all the other staff are amazing and a joy to work with. I'm so glad I was able to find my dress at NIkki's! -

This boutique is so cute! They had every thing I was looking for and more I loved shopping for my bridal gown from Nikki's!!! Toni, Linda and Nick were great they helped me find the most perfect dress for my wedding. They took the time to even help me find a dress for the rehearsal and a cake cutting dress I just loved their service and personal attention they gave. If i could I'd give a million stars they were great, especially with being such a new store in the area. Thank you so much Toni, Linda and Nick. We will be coming for tuxedos and bridesmaids dresses. I can't wait to bring my mother and soon to be mother in law in for dresses as well!! Thanks for making this such an enjoyable trip to your Boutique! -

Great store terrible vendors
We got my mothers dress here and she found one she loved. she tryed on a size 18 in the store and fit her well and that was the size she ordered. since she was out of state she had to have to mailed home. that's when the issues started when my mother got her dress a week later she tried it on and started crying it was too small. it was the same size she tried on in the store and it was 4 inches too small. we contacted the store and from day one they helped us resolve the issue. when the store contacted the vendor of the dress they were rude to the store saying that's not possible and being around thanksgiving holiday they than stated that the store never called which wasn't true because they always kept me in the loop. my mother was devastated because she spent a lot on the dress and really wanted to wear it for the wedding. The problem was the dress in the store since everyone tries them on stretched out alot so when we ordered that size it appeared too small. but the store ordered two new sizes for my mom to try on and choose which one she wanted and she was beyond happy they rectified the situation. the store was very helpful and kind in the situation but their vendors of the dresses are less to be desired. -

Fantastic Experience!
I visited Nikki's at Wiregrass Mall after visiting their booth at a bridal show. I actually didn't intend to buy my dress that day since I only had one bridesmaid with me and planned to bring more people for my actual appointment. However, I ended up finding the perfect dress while I was there. I didn't have a clear idea of what I was looking for (only what I didn't want), but the consultant really listened to my feedback and was able to translate my thoughts and feelings for me!
Due to covid-19, my dress arrived later than expected. I ordered it in February 2020 and it didn't arrive until just before Thanksgiving. Definitely not Nikki's fault, but I was anxious regardless. I appreciated how they handled my constant check-in calls and texts with grace!
I also had my alterations done with Zen at the Palm Harbor location (closer to where I live) and she was fantastic! I enjoyed my experience shopping at Nikki's and so did my mother-in-law! She bought her dress there too. :) I'll definitely return in the future when I'm in need of an outfit for a special occasion. -

Very professional
I purchased my wedding dress from Nikki's and it was a great experience! I had tried the same dress on at another local boutique after Nikki's, but went back & purchased at Nikki's because of their professionalism, and because Cheryl was fabulous! Cheryl was honest & knows the industry well, and provided great guidance. She pulled dresses that were most flattering for me, and I ended up choosing a dress that I would never have looked at it if it weren't for her expertise! They maintained communication all the way through, promptly calling me when things were ready as well as multiple texts to confirm appointments. Kathy did my alterations and she was such a gem! She was patient and kind, and worked very hard. Even though they have many brides and guests come through, they always made me feel like I was top priority. If you want a stress free experience, go to Nikki's! -

Beautiful dress
Nikki's gave me such a fun experience picking out my dress. They were very understanding when I tearfully called them explaining that it didn't fit. I wish I would've used their seamstress to help me fix it. I purchased a beautiful dressed called Adelaide from Morilee. They did not push me to purchase anything else and they were respectful and accommodating, -

Love my Nikkis dress
I found my perfect dress at Nikkis. I went in December just to start getting an idea of what I liked and ended up getting my dress that day. The employee was the one who took it off the mannequin for me to try. When I went back to pick it up, the new employee helping me seemed more interested in having my mom buy a gown than helping me with my own (which we did not come in for or ask for). Because of that I ended up taking my gown elsewhere for alterations, but my initial visit was pleasant. -

Glitz and glam delivered!
Nikki's dressed our entire wedding party. They brought our vision to life and delivered the GLAM! Cheryl helped find my dream dress and worked with budget. There were so many beautiful options for bridesmaids and Mothers. Nick was awesome getting all of the guys the perfect fitted tuxedos and delivering on time. Kathy did my alterations and she is amazing.
This team is professional and very good at what they do. We appreciate everything they did to make us feel amazing on our big day. ❤-

Immediate regret
After an extremely stressful planning process to date & already attending a few other bridal salons, I happen to make a last minute appointment on a Sunday my mom could make it down to Nikkis. They were slammed with homecoming & there was bridal appointment before mine that ran a little over time, so another consultant stepped in. They were really really awesome & we connected on a lot of similar familiar business practices- as we shared similar positions in the small businesses we worked for, but I strongly had regret my purchase immediately after leaving the store. I think it was a combination of finding a dress I thought "was pretty" (even though it wasn't the first pretty one I had on) ++ an impulse due to dress shopping exhaustion & wanting to just have my dress ordered and be done with it.... From the reading I had done about the process... I knew when you signed the paperwork & put the deposit down there was pretty much no turning back... so I knew I couldn't really "cancel" the dress... the veil however that I def felt I rushed into just saying "okay thats good" I saw in photos when I got home and hated... So being a "smaller" cost on the invoice, I emailed the next morning asking to hold off on ordering.... they said they submit orders at the end of every working day but they would contact the designer and see if they could hold the order while I had some time to find a replacement.... I know how retail works & it was def doable to cancel the whole thing from a manufacturer standpoint but I felt that would be "wrong" to try and go that route.... I decided I needed to nail down my wedding "theme" or the "look" I was going for in order to help decide if I needed to continue searching for "the one"... it was hard putting the vision together without a venue but I knew I had to pull it together in order to make a decision on my dress style (because so many styles and so many dresses all looked good on me- but I still wasn't 100% on what I wanted-- all those wants you are "supposed" to determine BEFORE you go dress shopping--- i highly recommend doing in the future before you shop--- regardless, at the end of the week with a more "clear wedding vision" I still had strong negative feelings about the dress and it was getting close to 6 months out... I went in for another appointment to "replace my veil order". I voiced my doubts & insecurities with the dress and we tried on another dress more aligned with my "setting"....(note- with a different consultant than the 1st appt)... During the appointment I just felt defeated and mis-understood... (& I even made it clear I wasn't expecting her to say "oh gosh! we will issue a refund for the dress on order since you are doubting it...") Anyway- I said lets just look at veils & be done (since I knew I couldn't cancel the dress anyways & the look I had in my head I wasn't seeing in the 2nd alternative dress they had me try on). I ended up still putting the veil decision off that day & headed home....
(side note... the vail that I was initially charged on the overall invoice-- then cancelled next day & was told I had a little time "to replace with a different veil style" but sometimes they take 4-5 months so I needed to decide quickly--- I looked up the veil style when I was researching "types of veils" & Nikki's charge me $750 which I thought based on A FEW I had previously tried on... that seemed really really steep... come to find out THE SAME EXACT veil was online for $295.00 & shipped in 2-5 weeks.... I understand small business retail & the markups/margins needed to operate... but the business should get the product at a cost figure... not the same figure equivalent to a retail cost available online... that was a little off-putting too)
I then decided with help of the fam that we would keep looking & when it came in we would decide what to do from there... and if we needed to try and resell it we would.... long story short- the construction on my venue is delayed so my wedding date had to be postponed... so I now have plenty of time until my new wedding date (just recently confirmed new date). & ironically got a phone call following saying the dress was in... it was so hard shopping and imagining the dresses 8 sizes smaller (proportion, where the lines cut, and sometimes the color being different too) so I was looking forward to putting something on in my actual size... I went in & tried on (note - with a different consultant than the 1st & 2nd appt)… & still just "wanted to take it off"... I think it's fair to say with that statement.... this isn't the dress for my wedding day... The dress was paid off ($2K) months ago.... but by the time you have the dress, shipping & insurance fees, & taxes. price gets up there... especially for a dress you immediately wanted to cancel & still had negative feelings throughout the few months of waiting for delivery..... I really hoped I had a different opinion and view of the dress when it came in & I put it on... but my gut feeling right when I left the store was consistent from that point on... I now have 12 months until my new wedding date & plan to shop for a different dress that aligns with the look I am pretty positive is going to fit my style, the wedding vibe, & make me feel truly beautiful. I don't think I will be returning here to continue my search...
However, as I walked by the other side of the store, it did look like they had a lot of sexy dresses that caught my eye-- fitting for a Bachelorette party or NYE party I might need an outfit for in the future.... Maybe currently this store is a better fit as a destination for your homecoming/prom dress vs. your bridal gown? -

Great Bridal Appointment but some hiccups with pick-up process
I loved my Allure Bridal gown and my consultant Lenore at the Palm Harbor location. She was knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and discrete. I was worried about finding dresses as I am plus size but Nikki’s has a large selection and Lenore picked out beautiful options. She was so skillful in picking out accessories that looked like they matched the dress perfectly even though they were from different designers. My only complaint with Nikki’s is the pick-up process. I asked if it was possible to have it at a location they recently opened that was closer to my home (Wiregrass) and they said yes. There was lots of miscommunication about when the dress arrived and the accessories going to the original location. It would have been easier to say you can only pick up at the location you ordered, which I would have had no problem doing, I just asked if the other location was possible. Also, Alternations by Zen, at the Wesley Chapel location, were good albeit a bit pricey. -

Wedding dress was beautiful service not so much
We had to wait 20 minutes past our scheduled appointment time and the boutique was very crowded. My dress arrived almost a month later than the date it was supposed to. I prepaid in full and also bought a veil, which they forgot to give to me! I had to call them to tell them and go back a week later to get it. -

This was my experience….first of all, they constantly text you with deals, sales, offers. I called inquiring a particular designer, and they said, they have a $100 discount. I went to this place and I found the dress I loved, but you can't take pictures to share with your friends and family (since all can't go with you). Then, there was no sale for that dress, so I paid full price. When I got home and found the same dress online, it was 20% lower plus the delivery of $125 is something others don't charge (you want to check into this). I was ready to cancel, so I called the store and they credited me the $125 delivery fee, though still 20% higher in price. Finally when the dress arrived and I went to pick it up, they gave it to me on a clear plastic bag...Yes, like a laundry type bag. I explained I couldn't take that home because my fiancée was at home and going to see it, so I demanded for a bag and they brought me a pink bag which was not bridal at all. I still loved the dress, but the cleavage was too much, so they said I should go with a larger size and take it in. I found out from seamstress that it was not possible adjusting that way (I am a true 4 and wedding dresses are larger, but a size 10 was too far), so the seamstress had to do a lot of work, and it came out great. -

Save yourself lots of money!
The only thing I enjoyed out of my experience was my dress. Until my wedding day. I wore it not even 2 hours and there was a big rip in the seam of a $2200 dress. Unbelievable. They also sold my dress in a bag with a massive hole in the bottom. The sales woman messed up when I asked if we come back with my mother, so she can be surprised that I found my dress. All of it was mediocre and I wish I didn’t give them any of my time or money. Brides please go somewhere else that you will be celebrated!! -
