    Body positive for plus size brides with lots of options!

    As a plus size bride, they made me feel beautiful and were even helpful ordering my size to try on of a specific designer I wanted ( which ended up being my dress!). Their alterations recommendation was also top notch (although a bit pricey). I am thankful for them making my experience positive and helping me find my dream dress!

    Beautiful store!

    As a plus size bride it was so hard trying to find a boutique that wouldn’t make me feel self conscious. I am on the larger size about a size 28 in street clothes and a size 32 in bridal. These ladies made me feel so beautiful even though they are all supermodels! The largest size they carry is a size 28 in bridal and it was such a good experience. I found my dream dress!

    What a dream!

    I couldn’t have asked for a better dress shopping experience! I would One & Only Bridal to everyone! Its a beautiful shop with so many options/styles to choose from as well as a wide price range to fit your needs. The shop is extremely clean and perfect for all the cute pic moments. We went on a Tuesday so it wasn’t busy and we had the whole place to ourselves. They allowed 6 guests to come with me and there was plenty of room for us all. Vannesa took the best care of me and made me feel welcome and comfortable. She had answers to all my questions and plenty of suggestions for me. She even took the care to look at my Pinterest board ahead of time which I really appreciated. I am so grateful to her and her help. I was nervous at first but all the nerves left once we started. I felt like an absolute princess the entire time. Thank you so much, Vannesa!!

    Amazing girls, amazing place!

    There is no reason to go anywhere else for your wedding dress. They have so many options of beautiful gowns! The girls are all so friendly & attentive. They DEFINITELY know what they’re doing. So much that they made me fall in love with a dress that I would never think to look at.

    Such a dreamy look

    Its located right in the middle downtown in this gorgeous set up that should be all over instagram. Stephanie was my stylist, and she kept up with the craziness of people I brought, because family can be a bit overbearing and emotional but she played along perfectly! she let my sisters help pick out dresses and I think that is the main reason I was able to find my dress at their store

    My Dream Dress!

    I had Stephany as my consultant when I came into One and Only and she did an absolutely AMAZING job! She made me feel like a friend and comfortable which made the process that much better! We found my perfect dress and I am so thankful that she was the one I worked with! I cannot recommend One and Only enough for Brides-to-be. They have an amazing selection for all price ranges and they have knowledgeable consultants who help you find what is perfect for YOU! The ability to make someone so comfortable while making such a big decision is a hard quality to find and they definitely cultivate that there.

    The best bridal shop!

    I was paired with Faith for my appointment and I could not have been happier with my experience. She was so down to earth and never made me feel pressured into buying something. She truly wanted ME to love my dress. My group was very opinionated lol.. but Faith made sure to listen to my wants. I almost bought my dress at two other shops before coming into One and only, and I'm so thankful I didn't. Other stores seemed to use my opinionated group to push me into buying something that just wasn't me. But now, I am OBSESSED with my dress!!! I feel like a queen! Thank you Faith and all the sweet employees!

    AMAZING! So accommodating

    I honestly can't stop thinking about my special day at one and only! From the moment I walked in I knew this was the place for me. The store itself is so clean, bright and modern and everyone there was so nice. From coming from other places where they made me feel uncomfortable and rude this was a breath of fresh air. Their dresses are amazing and the girls working there are so knowledgable it made shopping easy. They walked me through the dresses and ended up helping me pick my dress on the 3rd try on. Amazing, easy and fun don't go anywhere else!

    Don't go anywhere else!

    seriously brides, I wasted so much time visiting 4 store sent he orlando/winter park area and they did not compare to One and Only at all. The staff is beyond sweet, they make you feel so comfortable and their dresses are way better quality and actually a lot more affordable than everywhere else I went. Thanks One and only!

    One & Only is the best experience!

    I honestly don't even know where to start! One & Only Bridal was the best wedding dress shopping experience that I could have asked for! From the moment I arrived I felt so comfortable and supported through the entire experience. Eunice was my stylist and she was amazing ,even when I kept wanting to try on more and more dresses to make sure I found the perfect one. When I did find the perfect one she helped me find the perfect veil to complement the dress! I can't say enough good things about O&O and would tell anyone looking for a dress to add this shop to your list!

    Overall great experience!

    I had the pleasure of working with Kelsey. I cannot recommend One & Only enough! The boutique was very busy when I walked in and I honestly was a bit worried I would not be given the time and attention, but Kelsey immediately made me feel at ease. From beginning to end of our appointment she was attentive and listened to what I was looking for. I tried on 6-7 dresses that I found and the last one Kelsey picked out for me was the one! I had my "say yes to the dress" moment and couldn't be happier. I do wish they did alterations on site but they recommended a wonderful seamstress (Thread and Needle).

    Truly the one and only place for wedding dresses

    As the Mother of the Bride, you are a bundle of nerves the day your daughter wants to go look for dresses. You can only hope that she finds the "One" she has been dreaming of. In some cases, it ends up being one she didn't know existed.

    I went with my husband, daughter and a few of her friends to One and Only to look for my daughter's wedding dress. We had the last appointment of the day and per Orlando traffic, we were almost late. So being a little flustered, the ladies at One and Only put us at ease right away.

    My daughter picked out a dress or two, I found one and her dad found one. She loved all of them, some more than others. The past taking care of us knew my daughter hasn't feel in love with the "One". She asked my daughter what was holding her back. She said she just didn't feel it, and then asked is there a dress that I haven't tried on that you would have picked for me to try on. And the bridal specialist said, yes, I'll be right back.

    As soon as she came back, my daughter's eyes lit up and a huge smile came to her face. She went back and tried it on. When she came out, you knew that it was "The One". My daughter was glowing, I had to hold back tears and her dad was speechless. That ended up being the dress she bought and she looked stunning the day of her wedding.

    I would like to thank everyone at One and Only for making that day so memorable for all of us.

    The most incredible experience!

    You can’t beat the team at O&O! They are welcoming, kind, patient, uplifting, and so knowledgeable. What more can you ask for when shopping for your wedding dress?! I am forever grateful for my team at O&O that made me feel SO SPECIAL! xoxo

    Best Experience!

    One & Only Bridal should be your One & Only stop! These ladies are the most professional and kind women out there. They will truly make you feel like a princess and it doesn't matter what size you are. I'm sure many of you just like myself have dreamt about trying on wedding dresses and selecting the one that will make your day feel so special, however, the only fear I had was that I was going to have to squeeze into all the tiny sample sizes. After some research of local bridal shops, I came across One & Only and they let you know that they carry curvier sample sizes. So right then and there I decided to book an appointment. I didn't just book One & Only but made a day of it also visiting other Bridal Shops, but I am here to tell you that none of those experiences held a candle to One & Only. First of all, the shop is beautiful and secondly, the ladies are just a joy to work with. I was lucky enough to work with Stephanie and I just can't say enough great things about her. She really took the time to listen to what I was looking for and guide me in the direction of price and style. Stephanie also never made me feel like I was too big or shouldn't be trying on a certain style, she really made me feel confident and beautiful. I could go on and on but if you take away anything from this, I hope you give them a chance and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Thank you One & Only and thank you, Stephanie!

    I found my dress (& Dress Angel) at O&O!

    I have been so blessed with finding such wonderful places to make my entire wedding planning experience easy and seamless, but O&O surpassed every expectation I had! I worked with Stephany, who I am proud to call my dress angel! She helped me over the course of 3 total appointments, and trying on about 12 dresses. It was one of the dresses she actually picked out for me that I ended up falling in love with. She understood what I was looking for, and my style, before I even did. I was so grateful for her patience and kindness while picking out the one and only dress for me. The price and the experience you get at O&O are simply unbeatable. I only wish I could go back in time and do it all over again.

    Absolutely beautiful!!

    This was the first and only boutique I shopped at and the girls that work there are absolutely amazing. They have an incredible selection and anything you could hope to try on. I stayed the entirety of my appointment and the very last dress I tried on was the one and then we got to celebrate with a champagne toast afterward!

    My Dream Dress!

    Gabby and Stephany at One & Only Bridal went above and beyond in helping me find my dream dress here! They were so patient and kind with all of the family I brought in to dress shop with me. From the way the store is decorated to the friendliness of the staff, I cannot recommend this bridal boutique enough! Amazing experience!

    Amazing team of women!

    Stephanie was my consultant and Gabby helped me try on the gown once it came in. Both were so amazing and accommodating! The owner of the boutique was happy to hold my dress for months until I could pick it up.
    Stephanie listened to what I was looking for and helped me find THREE dresses I loved! She helped me make a pressure-free final decision on the one I chose and then listened to vulnerable feelings about having gained weight due to an illness I was battling (and have now recovered from!). It was tricky because I wasn't positive how much of the 25-30lbs I had gained would be gone by the wedding, but she gave me expert advice and we picked the perfect size! I felt absolutely gorgeous on my day and got a million compliments on my amazing dress.
    Highly recommend this beautiful boutique for anyone who wants an amazing dress and a professional/celebratory experience selecting it.

    One & Only Experience

    I can’t even begin to describe my experience at One & Only Bridal. Dress shopping is nerve racking and stressful as is & they made my whole experience magical. They even set up a surprise with my Fiancé (he came the prior week to drop off Champagne). Kelsey was a ball of joy to work with, she was so accommodating, calming and positive. Truly, could not be happier with my experience & I SAID YES TO THE DRESS 🥰

    Stephany made me feel like a queen

    I stumbled upon One & Only while searching for boutiques that carried Stella York.

    From the ease of making to the appointment, to the personalized service that Stephany provided, it was truly a vip experience.

    I had originally came in looking for another style but I found my PERFECT dress and I picked it up today. You will not be disappointed!!!

    One & Only Bridal is amazingggggg

    O & O Bridal had a flash wedding dress sale and I was able to snag an Essence of Australia dress that was originally $1,929 for $852!!!! The first dress I tried on I fell in love with! Every other dress I tried on after could not compare. All of the ladies were so helpful and my associate Caitlin who helped me get in and out of my dresses was so helpful! I would recommend O & O to any bride, they have dresses for every bride’s style!

    Thoughtful staff and gorgeous selection

    One & Only Bridal had an amazing selection of dresses and accessories for any budget and body! I was so impressed with their staff and selection when we came in and found my dream dress and veil there! It came in much more quickly than I thought it would and they brought me in for a private pick-up when it came in. Everyone is so sweet and thoughtful with little touches that make you feel welcome. Highly recommend!!

    Thank you, Stephany!

    Big thanks to Stephany who made my first experience with wedding dress shopping totally dreamy. I didn't think I knew what I wanted, but she quickly helped me zero in on how I was hoping to look and feel. O&O is a great environment - small enough for a cozy shopping experience, but big enough to have a wide variety of styles and designers.

    Wonderful!

    Highly, highly, highly recommend this bridal boutique. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, and genuine. I had somewhat of a loose vision as to what dress I was looking for but with the help of my bridal stylist I was able to find the perfect one. I’m more on the shy side but my stylist made me feel very comfortable and really listened to my opinions and narrowed down my likes and dislikes. Perfect place for every bride to be!

    Fantastic!

    Today...I experienced one of THE WORST things a future bride could ever think of. My wedding dress, that I loved and adored, was ruined beyond repair by alterations. Now, I did not originally buy my dress from One & Only. BUT, when my bridesmaid frantically called them with our dire situation, their ENTIRE staff jumped to help! They took such a terrible situation and left me with so much hope and positivity. They ordered a new dress for me (expedited) and I will have it in time for my big day. Their customer service was out of this world and I WISH I would have gone to them for my original dress buying experience. I recommend them one million times over. You will not regret it ❤️

    One of a kind dresses with one of a kind stylists!

    All of the girls that work at O&O are amazingly patient, helpful, and overall just as excited for your day as you are! I had the pleasure of working with Allison, where I came into the studio to narrow down dresses prior to having family and friends come with me the second round. I thought I possibly found THE dress, but didn't want to make a final decision without family/friends in the Fall. Allison informed me that the dress might not be around then since it was hitting a second season - no pressure - but wanted to ensure if that was THE one, I didn't miss it the next time I'd come in and be disappointed. The next time I came in, THE dress was still there, but I was shown a new release that came out that day, somewhat similar, which I fell in love with even more! It was fate with the dress I ended up with, truly one of kind and am excited to rock it on my day! You can't go wrong with O&O - take my word for it!

    Beautiful, unique dresses and helpful staff

    Cait at One & Only was wonderful as I was trying on dresses. I'm super indecisive so I took a while to make up my mind, but she was so patient and helped me consider the look and what all my options were. I ended up getting a beautiful dress for a very reasonable price. I'd definitely recommend.

    I felt like a princess!

    Kirsty & Kathrine we’re amazing! They made me feel so comfortable going through this whole process and on the first visit to this boutique I had found the one! O&O was absolutely exactly what I wanted in a dress shopping experience and my dress was everything I could have wanted and more! Thank you ladies you’ll always be dear to my heart! ❤️

    I went here a few weeks ago and had an incredible experience. First off, before I walked in I had already written this place off. I thought I wanted a dress from another shop. Also, someone else told me One and Only was too expensive and most dresses were over $2,000. Anyways, before I walked in, the store had a nice personal touch where they had a list of brides on a sign and at the top it said, “We can’t wait to meet you.” When I came in, Stephany helped me out even though I was 20 minutes early to my appointment. I told her my budget was somewhere between $1,000 and $1500 and she made it seem like that would be no problem. Stephany was very considerate of my budget and whenever I would look at dresses, she would let me know if it was out of my budget. I also liked that this place is for women of all sizes. They have a section for plus sizes. And their sample sizes for average women are also great! I never felt like I was struggling to fit into a dress, which could make someone feel insecure. I tried on a few dresses and Stephany would go over the details that make it stand out. She would ask me what I liked and disliked about each dress and if I would change anything about it. Well, after talking with me and getting a gauge of what I was looking for, Stephany asked me to try on a dress she picked out. I ended up loving it and so did my mom and best friend! It’s a quality dress that even comes with padding inside and everything! As I was trying on the dress, I asked Stephany how much it cost. She told me, “It’s $1700, but I’ve already talked to the designer, and we were able to get it down to $1500!” I loved that! After I said yes to the dress they made a personalized sign for me and gave us a champagne toast. I honestly can’t think of another place where I ever had better customer service. This place really is all it’s hyped up to be!

    Run, don't walk to One and Only Bridal. As a plus size bride, it can be difficult to find a dress that fits and flatters my figure, but they had a fantastic selection at really great prices. Beyond that, the service is out of this world amazing! After having a bad experience at another bridal boutique working with Cait was a breath of fresh air. She made me feel beautiful and worthy of a full bridal experience. I cannot say enough about my wonderful experience at this shop. I would recommend that all brides go to this boutique. Just fantastic!

    I am from out of town and I made an appointment to One & Only Bridal to find my dream dress with a few family members. I was pleasantly surprised when we stepped inside to find a place so friendly and bubbly (along as an incredible display of gowns!) Everyone working did such an awesome job of making me feel like a bride and letting me try on as many dresses as I wanted, and not making me feel rushed or push me into buying a certain dress. They treated us with so much respect and went above and beyond my bridal dreams! Thank you O&O for helping me find my one and only dress!

    My husband surprised me by making an appointment with the boutique for me to come and pick a dress for our vow renewal! From the moment we entered with our little girls they greeted us with such a huge smile and warm welcome! I could feel from their energy how genuinely excited they were to receive us in their beautiful boutique! It was my first time ever in a boutique! Everything was so neat and organized which was perfect because I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted so that organization made it super easy to narrow down which ones I wanted to try on. They were so patient with me and it truly was the best purchase experience I have ever had! They truly care and are so passionate about helping find the perfect dress it felt like I was with my besties shopping. I could go on and on for hours about how amazing they were! Without a doubt if you are shopping for your wedding dress One & Only Bridal is the way to go!!!!! It’s an experience that should be handled with so much care and love. And that’s One & Only is the only way to go!!!! Love you guys!!!!

    This was the one and only place I went on my dress search and I'm glad I did! It was a calm and stress-free experience and Kirsty was incredibly patient and great. I picked a few dresses (I thought) I liked and she chose a few as well and I ended up loving the ones she chose way more than the ones I picked. The dress I ended up getting was one I would have never grabbed off the rack if not for Kirsty, she never tried to sell me on anything out of my price range or push for something I didn't love she listened to what I liked and nailed it. I'm so excited to wear my dress on the special day! I would definitely recommend going here because it is appointment only and you receive one-on-one attention in a shop that isn't crowded with people. The girls really care and listen to what you want and made sure the whole experience was positive. If you follow their Instagram they are always having special trunk show events that would be really fun too if you just started your dress search. My main advice is listen to whatever they say because they are always right.

    I haven't gotten all of my photos back but this is the dress I swore I wouldn't like but Kirsty had me try it on and I'm so glad she did and she picked my veil on the first try too, YOU ROCK KIRSTY!!

    This was our last stop on a long day of dress shopping, and it was definitely the best! The shop is beautiful, and the dresses are outstanding. I felt like a princess, and my dress felt unique but classic. They were helpful in finding someone to alter the dress, and the dress arrived right on time! I had to have it rush shipped, and that was no problem for these ladies. Seriously, such great service!

    I found the dress of my dreams at One & Only. I came in after not having any luck at a larger boutique, and was attended to right away. The selection is absolutely stunning, and so much to choose from.

    I went searching for a dress with just me and my mom. I didnt have any design ideas in mind. I went to 3 different stores in orlando and fell in love with one and only bridal. The other stores felt too sales-y. Trying to convince me to say yes to their dress. At one and only i never felt pressured. They really just wanted to help me find the right dress for me. The boutique is so beautiful and intimate. I got the perfect amount of attention. You know not too pushy, would leave me and my mom to talk in private for however long we needed, was patient while i went through so mamy dresses.

    Could not be happier with my experience here! Alli was an AMAZING dress angel. This was my first appointment and I was nervous and overwhelmed, but she made me feel comfortable from the start and we had so much fun. They have a ton of gorgeous gowns and I found the perfect dress. I'll be recommended One and Only to everyone I know, forever. :)

    I’m so in love with my dress and the experience I had with the ladies at this boutique! They not only made me feel like I was super special but also like I was the one and only person in the shop. Now I know why that’s the name of the boutique. Lol Their attention to their clients are perfection and their connection with the dress designers are amazing. They were able to talk with the designer and see if they could customize the size of the dress since I’m a plus size bride and the sizes weren’t fitting right, as well as needing a corseted back instead of zippered. They were able to make all the desired changes and the team at the boutique kept me in the loop through out the entire process!! My wedding was made extra special because of my experience with you all. I love my dress and so does my husband and guests! It was perfect!!

    Amazing place, and the quality is excellent! It's such a cute boutique, and the associates there really work to your style! They aren't pushy on making you give a decision right then, so you won't end up with a dress that you regret! All the dresses are such nice quality, and the shop is adorable. There was no other customer there when I went to try on dresses, so you definitely get that one on one experience.

    Wonderful shop in Orlando with the best employees. I went wedding dress shopping here and Lacy found me the perfect wedding dress - one that I didn't even expect to like! The day there was perfect and they were very accommodating and did not rush us at all. I got my dress in and the bride's worst nightmare happened....it didn't fit!! I knew I didn't gain weight, and I really trusted that the shop took my measurements correctly. I called One & Only and they were so sweet and told me not to worry that no matter what they were going to help solve the issue (at this point - they didn't know if I was delusional or lying that I hadn't gained weight!).

    Turns out, the manufacturer made the dress 3 sizes too small although they labeled it as my correct size that I ordered! Something that rarely ever happens, a manufacturer defect. I had my new dress ready for me to pick up, in the now correct size, in literally 3 days or so. They took care of the problem so quickly and made the whole process stress free.

    I recommend them to all my friends going dress shopping. Beautiful dresses and the BEST staff

    One and Only was one of my favorite vendors. I felt so welcomed and comfortable trying on dresses with Lacy and she was so accommodating. I found a brand I loved but it was sleeveless and I had my heart set on cap sleeves. When I found the same designer online with the details I was looking for Lacy bent over backwards to bring in my preferred style in time for my wedding. The store is beautiful and inviting and I felt no pressure while there. Would definitely recommend!

    After being a bride that was affected by the sudden closure of Alfred Angelo I ended up at O&O and I must say EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! I was introduced to O&O by my wedding planner and I am so thrilled to be an official O&O bride. Also to top it off, to have the dress of my dreams be even better than the one I had my heart set on prior is a feeling that is unexplainable . Kirsty was my consultant and she was the most sweetest, patient, and knowledgeable person to work with. She showed me styles that were exactly what I was looking for and that were budget friendly to me! Most of these dresses are affordable (in my opinion). The designers are absolutely gorgeous and there is a wide variety in silhouettes. Also the ambience and environment was amazing! So modern, chic and just great to be in, I went on a weekday so I basically had the entire store myself which made everything so much more intimate. Loved every minute! Thank you Kirsty and team!!

    I really loved my experiences at One and Only. I came the first time as a bridesmaid helping a friend find her wedding dress. We worked with Lacey that day and she was very knowledgeable and patient, as my friend really didn't have any idea of what kind of dress she wanted. She let all of us go through the different racks and pick out a lot of options. She was helpful in describing the way dresses could be altered. Lacey was also very nice even when my friend decided not to purchase a dress. I decided to come back a few weeks later to try on dresses for myself. I worked with Kat, the owner, and she was also great. Very friendly and informative, but not overbearing. The process was very easy and actually fun (I had been nervous prior to coming)! Kat had a good eye for what I liked and recommended some very beautiful gowns that fit my style. I was lucky to find a dress I loved during my first (and last!) shopping experience. The boutique itself is beautiful with lots of natural light. I also found the prices to be very affordable compared to what I had seen at other shops. Great experience and I definitely recommend everyone stop in!

    I purchased my dress here a few weeks ago and I can't say enough good things about this bridal boutique! My first appointment was my very first time trying on dresses and I had no idea what I wanted. Kirsty was so sweet and helpful! I was scarred to commit to one, but not once did she pressure me into any. I had gone to other bridal stores after this and quickly realized the quality of the dresses for the same price range did not come close to what they have here. I came back for a second appointment and was so happy to have Kirsty help me again. I said yes to my dress and could not have had a better experience!

    One & Only Bridal Boutique is absolutely amazing! The shop is just gorgeous and the staff is so sweet and helpful. They have amazing designers including my personal favorite Karen Willis Holmes. I found a kwh dress of my dreams with help from Katherine, she was so great! So many beautiful dresses, I seriously could've tried them all on, they were all so gorgeous! Very fashion forward bridal boutique. I would totally recommend a visit!

    One & Only was the first shop I visited and had an amazing experience. I went to another shop the same day and was highly disappointed since One & Only set my expectations so high with their quality of service. They helped me find the perfect dress for me. They didn't rush me and they listened to my likes and dislikes. They even pulled a gown from the back they had just gotten in and that was my dress! I have never heard of any other shop doing that for anyone. Needless to say this is the only place I will recommend to shop for your wedding dress.

    I can not even begin to describe how amazing my experience was at One & Only. Hours after the appointment, we were all still raving at how incredible it was. The girls made me feel like an absolute princess, and you could really tell that they cared about YOU, not the sale. No pressuring, no rushing, they truly just wanted me to find the perfect dress for me. The atmosphere was wonderful and beautiful (especially for a temporary location! I can't wait to see how beautiful the permanent boutique will be!) This will absolutely be the first and only place I recommend in the future! Thank you so much!!! Truly extraordinary.

    I absolutely loved One & Only Bridal! This was my first time trying on dresses and I was able to Say Yes To the Dress!!! Lacie was so helpful and patient. I never felt rushed or pressured in any way. The prices are excellent as well as the selection. Also, I loved the fact that they spaced the appts out so that when we were there we were the only ones in the store. I was worried that due to it being a Saturday the store would be full of STB brides clamoring over dresses, but that was not the case. That made the experience that much more special! I would highly recommend any bride looking for a dress to go here FIRST; you won't be disappointed! Thank you again, Lacie!

    Great Location Gorgeous Dresses, But Had Measurement Issues

    I found the dress of my dreams here and it was the first dress that I tried on! I was a quick and easy bride in that regard – I found my dress immediately at this location. My dress was a Martina Liana 1321. The quality of dresses here are just phenomenal and the staff is very attentive and professional.

    My only complaint was that I felt like my measurements were taken incorrectly, as my dress was ordered in a MUCH larger size than I normally wear. I was assured that this was normal, and that wedding dresses typically run small, which I knew prior to coming to my appointment due to some research. However, when my dress finally came in it was BIG on me (mind you, I was keeping very close track of my measurements and weight because I was so paranoid to lose or gain any weight leading up to the wedding day). I had to hold the dress up to walk out of the changing room otherwise it was sliding down my body. Soooo I had to pay a pretty penny for alterations. Otherwise, my experience was great and like I said, my dream dress was acquired here and I got SO many compliments!

    I did not buy my dress through this shop, but truly enjoyed my bridal shopping experience! I was incredibly anxious about my first-ever dress appointment, and not really sure what to expect. I had a relatively modest budget, and as someone who toes the line between standard and plus size clothing, I was nervous there would not be any dresses that fit both my body AND my budget. To top things off, I was 5-10 minutes late for the appointment, and feeling very frazzled by the time I finally located the shop.

    I was immediately put at ease by Kirsty, my consultant, who took a few minutes to talk about what I wanted, explained the layout of the shop, and set me loose to pick out a few dresses. The shop was gorgeous, as were the dresses lining the walls. Kirsty and I picked out a few dresses and set about trying everything on. Everything we tried was beautiful and true to the vision I had for my bridal look. In the end, there were two dresses I really liked, and was very seriously considering one of them as THE dress. The only thing that prevented me from pulling the trigger was the price. It was a little bit higher than my max budget, and would have needed some costly alterations.

    My only minor complaint is this: Because it is a small boutique and not a large chain store, there did not seem to be sample dresses in multiple sizes, which meant a lot of the dresses I tried on were too small. It was hard to envision how I would actually look in a dress my size, and I was a little sad that one of the prettiest dresses I found was too small to even pull all the way over my hips. I still felt beautiful and had a wonderful experience, but it bears mentioning since the shop is meant to provide the couture experience to women of all sizes. It is a newer shop, so I'm sure they will have larger samples in stock as things progress.

    Overall, I had a great time and felt truly welcome and beautiful while shopping and trying on dresses, and would absolutely recommend stopping by!

    Wonderful/Organized Dress Shopping Experience

    💕I just moved to Florida a month before visited this bridal shop for their flash sale in August. Everything was organized and selected dresses were marked down with prices of $200-$800. I went in knowing the kind of style I wanted from their selections and Allison was so helpful in helping me with my decision. I said "Yes" to a beautiful Maggie Sottero dress originally cost $1250 marked down to $400..so happy about that and can't wait to wear it. Now I can splurge on something else for my big day 👰🏽4/11/21💕.

    Very polite

    First, let me say that I love the store and the atmosphere, the ladies were all lovely and they were all about the experience, truly could not have asked for a sweeter group of people, however, I actually had a problem and I’m not sure if it has happened to any one else, it doesn’t seem like it has. I range from a street dress size 8-10 it just depends, I know wedding gowns run smaller and the sizes are different. But, the woman who helped me I can’t remember her name while she was so nice and so helpful-she really just wanted to see me happy- I was put into and picked out dresses that were too small, I couldn’t fit in them, the majority if not all were too small, it wasn’t how I wanted to feel on that day, I went home and cried and I’d say I’m an averaged size woman. I found my MOH and my mom saying “just imagine it in your size” but I couldn’t, I didn’t want to, it’s always easier to clip a dress in the back to make it smaller than to put an average sized bride in small garments. It’s no ones fault really, they are amazing at their job I just found the sizes to be disheartening and I wanted to leave a review. If you’re a solid 8 and under you can try on any dress on the floor

    Easy and relaxing

    My experience was great and the young lady assisting me was so patient....even when I was indecisive and had to try on two dresses twice! Lol. Great experience, even though there selection is priced a bit high.

    WORST experience out of five different bridal salons

    While my attendant was very sweet and tried her best to be accommodating. We could not help but notice that they paired us, the only minority customers in the salon, with the only minority stylist on their staff present that day. Whether that was on purpose or by accident, who knows. It felt purposeful though due to the unwelcoming atmosphere and behaviors of the other stylists present during our appointment.

    I'm not sure if they were stereotyping us or what, but the smirks and looks exchanged between the other stylists were obvious and beyond awkward.
    My family and I were shocked since the salon is in one of the most diverse cities and had such wonderful reviews! I don't know if it was due to the way we look, how we were dressed, or if it was because we spoke some Spanish to my grandmother during our appointment.

    We could not even stay the full time of the appointment because of how uncomfortable the other staff made us feel. Later on, while looking at the photos of the few dresses I did try on, we realized we may have overlooked "the one" because of how awful the experience was. Either way, I'm writing this to warn others. Don't waste your time or money, go somewhere that supports all kinds of brides no matter their background.

    Even though the dresses and decor were beautiful, the staff's awful behavior made it our worst appointment out of the five salons we went to. Don't ruin the special experience of looking for your wedding dress by dealing with this salon's rude staff. I ended up finding my dress that same day at a different salon in Winter Park. The staff at the salon in Winter Park treated us with respect and cared for us like we were family. I wish I had gone straight to that salon and not put my family through this experience at One & Only Bridal.

    The one and only shop I hated

    If you're in it for the 'gram, go ahead and stop in. I was in it to shop for a wedding dress and would not recommend stopping in for that. Upon walking in, I was barely acknowledged and also had nowhere to stand because the shop was incredibly crowded with guests. Crowded stores are generally unappealing to me but especially during COVID-19. Masks were not enforced and there were large parties accompanying certain brides. The selection process was terrible. You get a walkthrough of the store and just walk around and pick whatever you want to try on. No help or guidelines. Pretty overwhelming in my opinion. My consultant was very friendly but incredibly inexperienced. She was not helpful in selecting gowns, she was not skilled at clipping the gowns to allow me to visualize them, she was overly chatty, and she kept disappearing to chat with her colleagues. The setup of the shop is terrible. My mirror section (which was not at all private) was toward the front of the shop and the dressing room was in the back of the shop so I had to trip across the entire store, nearly running into other customers and bridal consultants in the narrow hallways, often in gowns that weren't clipped or zipped properly, to show it to my party of two. We were there in the late afternoon and the sun was shining directly into the mirror. Not fun for the eyes and not great for taking photos of the gowns. The selection of form fitting gowns was lacking. Overall, a super disappointing experience and a waste of time.

    Wedding nightmare

    What was initially supposed to be one of my more lighthearted days of the ridiculously, stressful wedding planning process quickly turned into a nightmare you only see in movies. I decided to try out One & Only bridal in Orlando, FL because I had my heart set on a particular designer, Berta, and was planning to try it on and most likely order the same day. The staff all seemed friendly and knowledgeable upon arrival and I was greeted by Faith who would be the employee helping me out. Once I told her about wanting to try on the Berta dresses, I was immediately told I could only have those dresses alone in the fitting room, even though I had multiple other dresses in the room already, because they were so expensive.

    I explained that I really was only there for the Berta dresses and my desire was immediately dismissed by Faith, who seemed more intent on having me try on other dresses. After various requests to try on the Berta dresses, Faith then told me they were too small and would not fit me. When she finally agreed, I was left alone in the fitting room, half undressed, for over 5 minutes. When she finally returned, I was told that she checked, and the dress is not made in my size. Upon further inquiry, it turns out the dress is made in my size. For that I have been to other bridal shops and been able to try on dresses that don't completely fit, to see how they would look once ordered to size at, the very least.

    I was venting to family who was with me when Faith must have overheard me and immediately changed her tone, saying she would bring the Berta dresses... but the damage had been done. Her overall condescending tone, reluctance to let me try on the "expensive dress" and various other excuses left a terrible taste in my mouth. My wedding dress shopping experience had been ruined and I have never felt so judged before. It was literally a scene out of "Pretty Woman". As a black woman I can't help but wonder was it a race issue, a socioeconomic issue, a body shaming issue? Does it matter? This was completely unacceptable, and this experience has made it very difficult for me to go into any bridal shop to try on dresses.

    Regards,
