    Dream dress!

    I found the dress of my dreams! I got married in November 2023 and I literally sparkled and felt like a fairy princess. On top of that, the dress was surprisingly comfortable!

    A Wonderful Experience

    As a plus sized person, shopping can be a stressful and painful experience. That was not the case at Sparkle. I felt valued by every staff member I interacted with. I tried on several beautiful dresses before selecting one. I eventually found my dream dress, which was unique and well-made. Thank you so much Sparkle!!

    Amazing and I found my dress!

    This was my first time dress shopping and as normal I was feeling nervous about it. However, when I walked in I was greeted warmly and the staff made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. I found my dress and its gorgeous, none like it anywhere else! I highly recommend them!

    If you are a bride searching for her dream dress and hasn't found your envisioned gown. Go to SPARKLE! I was one of those brides who couldn't find the dress and all the shops I went to was not fitting my expectations. Good news, I found the dress at Sparkle! I had a certain budget which they worked in, they met all my high standards, I received a professional response every time to all my questions or concerns regarding the dress, they are friendly, know their products and are more than accommodating. The parking is very limited, so it's best to research and call ahead. Though the weekend we went, which is their busiest day, my group didn't have any parking issues. I can only say "Thank you Sparkle team!" for the helping me find my dream dress.

    The first time I went there, I tried on this one dress that caught my attention. They don’t let you take pictures of the dress, so I couldn’t look back at it down the road to compare to my other top contender. So, I ended up coming back, to look at that dress one more time. I got there, and looked to see if they had anything new, and they did! I tried on a new dress, and fell in love! I ended up crying and everything! It was gorgeous! Once I said yes to the dress, I could take pictures of it! I absolutely loved all the beadwork on the top of the dress and how it was shaped. I got an A-line ballgown. I really wanted a poofy ballgown, so Kim suggested a seamstress who could make that happen. I asked to take a picture of the bottom of another dress, so I could show the seamstress what I wanted, and they wouldn’t let me. Thankfully, I was able to find a picture online to show her. I absolutely love my dress, and I felt like such a princess in it! Kim was the one who helped me. She was super friendly! The other thing that kind of sucked, was their floors aren’t the cleanest. So, when my dress came in and I walked around in it, it got pretty dirty on the bottom. Luckily, Kim was able to get most of it off. I’m so thankful there is a place for us plus size brides to go to! It was actually great to fit into a dress on the rack!

    Thank You Sandra!!! Sparkle was Heaven sent when I was searching for my wedding dress. Most stores in the area did not carry my size or the style of dress I was looking for. I found both at Sparkle. My appointment was amazing. Sandra made me and my loved ones feel soooooo important and special. I really loved the fitting areas and style of the store. As an unexpected Bonus, my dress is Custom. I had no intention of getting a custom dress, but I love the idea of a unique dress design that exclusive to Sparkle & me. No one else will have my dress (#Dope). The best part is the dress is really quite affordable. I have no complaints! I whole heatedly recommend Sparkle to any woman out there looking to feel like a beautiful starlet!

    I loved this place! I had other places I was planning on going, but this was the only place I needed to go! Melissa, the bridal consultant was so attentive and helped me find my dress! She listened to what I was looking for and ended up finding me a dress that I wouldn't normally choose, but I fell in love! Everyone was so helpful and I feel like I had the best wedding dress experience!

    Do you have any idea how daunting it is to try and find a plus size wedding dress anywhere else than someplace like david's bridal?? Sparkle Bridal was the answer to all my prayers! An entire store of nothing but 14-30 sized dresses so I could actually try on ANYTHING I wanted! OMG. YES.

    Sandra was AMAZING! So helpful and patient and super informative. They were my first and last stop for my wedding gown (which was the 3rd one i tried on!)

    They also helped me order all my bridesmaids dresses and the mother's dresses. Amazing experience.

    This shop is fabulous! The dresses are beyond beautiful, the store is very nicely decorated and comfortable, and the owner, Sandra, is sweet & fabulous! There is not one bad thing to say about this bridal boutique. I'm a curvy woman, so I knew this would be a great place to shop. Every dress I tried on was incredible. I was so nervous about finding a dress because my body isn't the most fit, but I felt comfortable in my skin while at Sparkle. My consultant was Sandra's mother and she was perfect. She's been a seamstress for years and her expertise was spot-on! After trying on several dresses that I chose from the racks, she asked me to try on one more that she picked out. She had a feeling it would fit me well and she was 100% right. The moment I saw it on, I knew it was the one. My mom bought it for me right there on the spot! The accessories were beautiful too. We also got a belt to go with the dress and fell in love with a veil that matched the dress so perfectly. I would absolutely recommend this shop to other brides, especially those who have some curves! This place has a dress for you!

    Sparkle was great. I went in just to check out the inventory and ended up walking out with my wedding dress (several months before we even settled on a venue!). The ladies were all very helpful and gave some good guidance in picking out dresses to try on - I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have elected to try on the dress I ended up buying if she hadn't brought it to my attention. Their follow-up services were also excellent - I brought my dress and veil in a few days before the wedding for steaming which they offer complimentary.

    One note - don't go in if you're not planning on buying. The dresses are designed specifically for Sparkle and when a floor model is sold (eg. someone finds a dress they like in their size and they want to leave with it) the style is discontinued and replaced with a different one in order to keep inventory fresh. I wasn't planning on buying the day we went in, but I didn't want to potentially lose the dress I loved so we ended up buying it that day. It's a great business model for them, but we did feel pressure to buy that day as a result. On the other hand, I had one of the bigger decisions made before I really started the planning process so it was stress they saved me in the long run.

    I was so nervous as a plus size bride about dress shopping. I knew had I went to a "normal" bridal shop I wasn't going to fit into a lot of the floor samples. When I found sparkles I knew even though it was almost an hour away, this would be my first shop! Little did I know, first and only, they have any style you could ever think of simple to extravagant, all of them fit for the plus size princesses!

    Sandra sure knows her dresses! i am a size 14, but have a large bust. Her gowns fit me with out having to open up the bust line and add to the cup. What a huge expenditure with a gown alteration. Her gowns are cut for larger, plus sizes made for the Curvy Girl.
    My Mother, Aunt, and I went to my first dress appointment. I had an idea of what I wanted. Sandra had me try three dresses, and I loved all of them. I was looking for a drop waist dress with beaded straps. The fourth dress was a rouched strapless white satin gown. Who knew? Perfect. I purchased at the initial appointment & saved $100. The gown was originally $1150. No Beading, with a corset back. The gowns there are $1000+ (the ones i was trying on). I was impressed with her suggestions for adding straps. Sandra has beaded cap sleeves i could try with the gown to get a good idea of the look. (I wound up spending about 90 hours hand beading a keyhole lace addition, worth every second)
    I made an appt to pick up the dress & was surprised to see a few things with the construction of the dress that I purchased. It turned out that it was off the rack and had some manufacturing flaws. She ordered a replacement & had it rushed. It was here within 4 weeks! Her confidence in the vendor & her relationship with the designer created so much less stress for me. As soon as the second gown came in, it was perfect. She had also done research on where i could locate a heavily beaded shoulder piece to use as a keyhole, but i was so far invested in my beading...Sandra went Above and Beyond.
    One complaint. I wish we could have some CHAMPAGNE!

    Sandra and the Sparkle crew made dress shopping enjoyable - the way it should be. When you are at Sparkle you feel like you are the only bride in the world. The staff has one goal, and that is to make you look and FEEL beautiful. As a busty and curvy bride, I assumed my options in dresses would be limited, but I was proven more than wrong by the gorgeous dresses at Sparkle. I am so glad I found this place on accident, and I am so happy we bought my dress from such a wonderful store.

    I feel so lucky to live so close to Sparkle and to get engaged soon after their grand opening. As much as I love clothes and style, I have always experienced a feeling of dread at the thought of shopping for a wedding dress surrounded by skinny girls and having strangers help me dress. I also expected to have to shop at cheaper chain stores simply because they tend to have more options for plus-size brides. But my fears disappeared the moment I walked into Sparkle. My appointment was private and Sandra really listened to my requests and made me feel at ease. They had many more options that I could try on than the chain stores and the quality cannot even be compared. The fabrics were luxe and the detailing impeccable. Prices are moderate, not sky high, and worth every penny. Sandra's service has been wonderful from the day I found the dress of my dreams in August to the day I picked it up last week. I cannot recommend Sparkle more highly!

    Sandra provided an AMAZING customer service experience even with multiple visits to the salon. The only part I didn't like was not being able to take pictures on my trips but it was a great experience. I received TONS of compliments on my unique and beautiful high quality dress!

    Sparkle was great. I am a plus size woman and I knew than the average bridal shop was not going to be the place for me. I walked in and there were a lot of dresses in my size. The fourth dress I tried on fit me like a glove. It was a brand new dress to the store so they gave me the option of taking the floor model. Not only was I able to walk out of the store with my dress but they told me I would have a one of a kind because they won't remake a floor model. This store made me fell gorgeous and not ashamed of my body. Brittany was the attendant who assisted me and she was so sweet. If you are a plus size woman I would definitely recommend going to Sparkle.

    Sandra was very nice and helpful. She helped me with at least 12 dresses! while I did not purchase my gown there, I will be going back for accessories! I would recommend this store to any curvy woman.

    I purchased my gown during Sparkle's Semi Annual Sale in July. I made a appointment. When I got there with my group Sandra greeted everyone of us. We looked around and right away found several dresses to try on. Sandra got a room ready for me and seats for my group. She helped me put on the dress and put me on a pedestal to display the dress and even made some suggestions which helped make choosing allot more easy. She was very personable and easy to talk to she even offered us bottle waters. When i described the dress i wanted but did not have in the dressing room she found one that was everything I ever wanted. I left the store a very happy woman and have a beautiful dress to show for!
