    Julie was wonderful to work with. She had so many dresses to choose from and allowed my mom and I to walk around the store and pull dresses ourselves. I had tried lots of dresses on and wasn't feeling them, so redressed. I walked the store one more time and a dress I hadn't seen before caught my eye. It ended up being the one! Dress came in on time and payment and pickup was easy.

    I love this bridal shop! They hang around just the right amount of time. They help cinch you in to your next dress and make sure you're comfortable before they leave to give you time to discuss with the group. I found my dress on sale here and went to a family friend for alterations so all in all my dress was far less than $1000, which was my original budget. Because my dress was a sales rack dress there were stones missing and lots of visible wear. Even though it was a sale dress the shop did a wonderful job of replacing broken and missing stones and repairing any visible wear and tear, which I wasn't really expecting them to do on a sale dress. I was ecstatic with the result! You couldn't even tell the stones were at one point broken!

    I was pretty discouraged by the time I came to Pearls & Lace. I really didn't want to spend that much money on my wedding dress as it is a one-time wear dress and anything over $1000 just seemed excessive. I had gone to 4 different stores before I came to Pearls and Lace and any dresses that were under $600 were just more like a bridesmaid dress or not flattering at all.

    However, I walked into Pearls & Lace about 15 minutes before they were closed just to see, and they were able to pull 4 dresses off of the rack for me that were in my price range. I saw one dress that I asked them to write down the name for and I later came back and tried it on and loved it.

    1. Pearls & Lace is a pretty good sized boutique. They have both Bridesmaids and Wedding dresses. I bought all of my bridesmaid dresses there as well as my wedding dress.

    2. They can find anything within your price range. I ended up getting a dress for $700, that wasn't on the sample/sales rack! In case you're wondering, I got an Allure 2716 dress.

    3. I haven't gotten my dress yet, but they order as close to your size as possible. They don't do alterations so they're not trying to jack up the size so that they could get money from you for alterations. They refer out for alterations and the prices they gave me for alterations were reasonable for bustling and hemming.

    4. YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE AN APPT and be restricted to the one hour that's usually given to you for appts. And I personally really enjoyed that they didn't have a personal shopper following me around. That puts more pressure on. When you walk in, they'll ask for your criteria and then pull dresses off for you and help you put the dress on but they give you space to talk to your party.

    Overall, if you were as practical as I am about dresses and are looking to not spend that much money and you're getting pretty discouraged, I'd say try Pearls & Lace. They're amazing people.

    Pearls and Lace is a wonderful dress shop! No strict appointments or limits to how many dresses you can try on. TONS of options and dresses in many different price ranges. The ladies who work there are kind and helpful. Both my sister and I found our dream wedding dresses there at great prices! I would definitely recommend the store to any bride-to-be :)

    I went to many bridal stores looking for that perfect dress. This was by far my favorite and of course where I purchased. I fell in love with it. The store has this family boutique kind of feel and the staff is so great at attending to each customer. Customer service is top notch here. They sent my dress off to be altered to my exact measurements and it came back to the store flawless, they even sent me a thank you for my purchase in the mail...such a sweet gesture. I wish this business much continued success; they deserve it!

    I did my research before I chose a place to shop for dresses; especially since I am around a size 14-16, I wanted to be able to feel comfortable trying on dresses and not just stuck with the smaller sizes. I was not disappointed! The moment I walked in they took great care of me, asking questions about what style I was looking for, when my wedding was, etc., and letting me know where the sale dresses were. But then I got the chance to look around myself which was such a relief. There was no pressure, no one trying to force a sale, etc. Just me, my maid of honor, and my mom looking through wedding dresses! The atmosphere is very relaxed but classy, and then had plenty of different styles and designers in my size. I chose a beautiful Allure ballgown and a veil that were both well within my price range. They give out recommendations on tailors as well! I drove down from Bellingham, and my wedding was in Mt. Vernon so I used a tailor in Bellingham, but it was a lovely addition at any rate. Thank you Pearls and Lace!!

    Purchased my wedding dress at Pearls and Lace in February. I shopped at multiple dress stores/salons, but Pearls and Lace was hands down my favorite store. They do things a little differently, you don't have to make an appointment, they don't always have someone to help you in and out of dresses and since there's no appointment you can stay as long as you like and try on as many dresses as you like. The staff is very friendly! On my first visit to the store I didn't know the store hours and didn't realize until after I left that the store should have closed 30 minutes ago. I was never rushed or told to leave, she was extremely polite and didn't even mention it. They also have a very large selection of dresses at a lot of different price points. My two suggestions are to bring someone with you to help you in and our of gowns, and to try on lots of dresses. I didn't love my dress on the hanger but once it was on me it was perfect! If you want help they will offer it, if not they will let you be, it's the best of both worlds.

    I found the perfect dress here. It had all the elements I wanted, ended up being more than I wanted to spend, but I was very confident with my final decision. I liked that they had lots of dresses to choose from, at several price points. Lighting and mirrors were well placed. I'd recommend bringing an able friend to help, because it can be overwhelming.

    If I could give them more stars I would. I got a beautiful Allure fit and flare gown for $700! The selection at Pearls and Lace is amazing, room after room of every style you could be looking for. I had fun trying dresses at other salons, but I always felt I wasn't getting to see and try dresses I might like. Here I was able to look through all the dresses and pull ones to try with my friends until I found the one. I'm also a size 12 in normal clothes and at pearls and lace they had plenty of dresses in sizes I could try, unlike some other shops with smaller collections. The dresses are great, the staff is wonderful and the price is right!

    When I looked for my wedding dress I wanted to be able to look through the dresses myself and not feel pressured by a consultant to make a decision or go with a certain style. Pearls & Lace was the perfect fit for me! You are able to walk around the entire store as much as you want and pull any dresses that interest you. The women who work there are wonderful and were always there to help lace me into a dress or help me out of one whenever I needed it. There was no pressure, they let you take pictures, and they even write down the styles that you like for you to take so that you know exactly which ones you were looking at. I found an amazing dress that everyone loved and can't recommend this place enough!

    Renee was so lovely to work with. She knew what accessories made my dress look even better on me given my larger body size. I felt so attended to and cared for. The shop is beautiful inside and there are tons of beautiful dresses. Well worth the drive from the north end

    Pearls and Lace is an amazing place to find a dress! I love that they don't bother you and try to get you to try on dresses. You walk into the store and roam around on your own and look at dresses and pick some up that you want to try on. It was so nice to have the freedom after trying on dresses at other stores and not being able to search on your own. They have lots of beautiful dresses to choose from. Another really awesome thing about Pearls and Lace is that they allow you to take pictures of yourself in dresses unlike any other wedding dress store I've ever been to. I ended up leaving the store with two dresses. They were so cool and flexible; they allowed me to buy both and gave me the option to return one within the week if I decided I only wanted to keep one. This kind of customer service is impossible to find anywhere else. I decided to keep both and used one in a photo shoot. I absolutely loved them both. I am so glad I went to Pearls and Lace!!

    This place is great. You don't need to make an appointment, you're not harassed by sales associates and you get to choose your dress on your own time. If you're looking for the "say yes to the dress" experience where someone follows you around with champagne and says you look gorgeous in anything that's way overpriced and makes you look like a cow, then don't come here. If you want helpful associates, a huge selection and not feel like you have to prearrange your whole day just to make it in the store, than this is your spot. I got an amazing deal on an off the rack dress and it was cheaper than what I saw at David's and the quality is world's apart. They recommended two different seamstresses so you're not convinced to use an in house lady that's overpriced, or you could use your own mom if you wanted to. I recommend this place to all my friends!

    I went to at least 15 wedding dress stores and none of them compared to pearls and lace. The store is beautiful, and the ambience really adds to the magic of trying on wedding dresses. I loved my dress and pearls and lace!

    I went to Pearls & Lace with my mother and sister in July of 2012. After trying on 6 or so gowns, I found THE ONE. When I ordered it, the owner told me it would be ready for pickup in October, but it arrived early in August. I also ordered a belt to go along with the dress, and it really made my look complete. I would recommend Pearls & Lace to any brides looking for a wide selection of dresses and great customer service.

    Julie was awesome- so supportive and helpful! I've recommended many to go to her. I went to a ton of places that really forced decisions on me but Julie was authentic and genuine. She has great selection and was very relaxed about the whole process. Employees are not paid on commission so it's more about the experience and finding a perfect dress than making a sale. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience!!

    Loved peats and lace! What meant so much to me was there was no pressure. Every other bridal shop I felt like I was being herded in and out. You couldn't really take your time. They have all of the big name bridal gowns- mori lee, allure, etc. You don't need an appointment and you could stay as long as you needed. The owner and sales girl were super nice and knowledgable.

    Pearls and Lace has an excellent selection. I went to many dress shops before I found the perfect dress at Pearls and Lace. The customer service is great. All of the women in the shop are very friendly. Best of all, they are not pushy. I felt like they were more interested in making sure I chose the dress I wanted instead of just trying to get a sale. As an added bonus, they made a custom veil to match my dress and sold me the perfect sash to complement my dress. Ladies, do yourself a favor. Save yourself some time and go to Pearls and Lace first. ; )

    P.S. If you need a seamstress to alter your dress, I would highly recommend Svetlana at American Freestyle Alterations in downtown Seattle.

    I bought my wedding dress there. They are very helpful and let you try all the dresses you want. You don't need an appointment and there is no time limit. They do help you when you need to be zipped up and with dress selection. Great place.

    Located in Burien on 152nd. This place is a gem. I am so glad I found it. No pushy sales people. It is a very hands on shop. Don't expect the consultant thing like at DB or AA. You can pull your own dresses, try on as many as you like, stay as long as you like etc. They are very responsive to emails. Also the person they recommend for alterations Donna is fantastic.

    Pearls and Lace was my first stop to look for a wedding dress. My sister in law bought hers here, and I am so glad she brought me. I went to 2 other stores after this one, but ultimately came back.

    The staff is helpful and friendly and makes you feel special! The quality of their dresses is fantastic, and they have options for every budget. They didn't even mind that I kept picking dresses from the as-is rack to try, and when I did come back they let me sit there deciding between 2 dresses for a half hour and never bothered me.

    It's a cute little location, and worth it to have the amazing staff help that I didn't experience at any other bridal store.
