I am so blessed this little gem exists. Everyone who works here is beyond wonderful. You can see they truly care about their work and you as a customer. Between the cost of the dress to the alterations I was mind blown! It really helped keep me in budget and I was contributing to a good cause. At the end of the night I didn't even want to take my dress off! Thank you Brides Project. -

The Brides Project was such a wonderful place to get my dress! I loved the selection that they had available. The volunteers were very kind and helped me choose a veil and matching belt for my dress as well. The seamstress was super affordable and she worked quick! Overall I would recommend this place to any brides looking to support a great cause while buying a beautiful dress. -

My experience with the Brides Project was so good, I went back for a second dress! I tried on a variety of dresses that were unique, one-of-a-kind and incredibly special. The work this organization is doing is so important to the Michigan cancer community. 10/10 would recommend. -

I recommend this shop to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding dress! The women working there obviously love what they do and I had so much fun finding my dress. It turned out perfectly and I barely had to get any work done on it. They have an in-house seamstress, too which makes things easier. Amazing prices, not to mention the great cause the money goes towards! -

Victoria Sent on 10/10/2022Helps to Know It's for a Cause
I have a difficult time justifying costs when buying clothes for myself, so I knew wedding dress shopping was going to be rough. Fortunately, I decided to start at The Brides Project, and I found the perfect dress there! It was still tough for me to swallow the $900 price, but I felt so much better knowing the funds were going toward the Cancer Support Community, and I have zero regrets! The design I wore was only a couple years old by the time of my wedding. It was a sample dress, so it hadn't been worn before. Despite being donated, all the dresses I tried on were in great condition. -

Claire Sent on 07/04/2022So many styles to choose from!
I tried on so many dresses at the Brides Project - they have an incredible selection of different styles! Their volunteers are kind and helpful. They also have a tailor they work with who will alter your dress for a very reasonable fee. If you're like me and you don't want to pay thousands of dollars for a dress you're only going to wear once, check them out! It's for a good cause, too :) -

Dress shopping at The Brides Project was an absolute dream
I was a last-minute bride. My husband and I decided to plan our destination wedding in less than 80 days--so I needed a dress off-the-rack.
TBP was my first dress shopping experience and what a positive, fun, and relaxing experience it was! I appreciated that the consultants encouraged me and my guests to look through the racks ourselves, but also provided input and suggestions based on what I liked and didn't like. In the end, I found a gorgeous dress that felt like it was made for me. My wedding dress was super unique and was unmatched by anything I found at the other bridal shops I visited.
My consultant, Jan, was supportive, knowledgeable, and great to work with. On the day I was shopping, the seamstress (also named Jan) was there and was able to provide input about the alterations I needed--I appreciated having her there as the other bridal shops I visited told me they would not be able to complete my alterations in time for my wedding (10 weeks). Jan completed hers in a month.
I recommend TBP to anyone who wants a wedding dress that's a little out of the ordinary and wants their dress purchase to make an impact on the local community. -

Lindsey Sent on 01/07/2020Wonderful!
The lady’s at The Brides Project were amazing. From the second I walked in the door they were helpful and accommodating. I would recommend everyone go there to find a high quality dress for an affordable price. It made me even happier to know the proceeds from my dress were going to directly impact a family’s life in my community. -

So many dresses for such a good cause!
I got my wedding dress here and it was amazing. Magically, it was the first dress I tried on! It’s a beautiful little shop with all different styles of dresses. I got so many compliments on my dress, and I was happy that the cost went to a good cause. It really made it worth it for me to splurge a little on the perfect dress, knowing I was supporting a great charity. 100% recommend stopping here on your dress hunting journey! -

Rachel Sent on 12/06/2018Amazing experience, perfect dress
I went to The Bride's Project hoping to try on some dresses in my size, and left with my dream dress at an amazing price. The shop is a non-profit and resells donated dresses, some worn, some new, with proceeds going to Cancer Support Network. This meant I could try on a bunch of dresses that actually fit me!! and could take the dress home that day - no waiting 6 months only to find out it's not what you imagined in your size. The shop is run by volunteers, so the atmosphere is relaxed and noncompetitive, and you feel like your money is going to something meaningful instead of feeding directly into the wedding industry. These were important factors for me - I left my first dress appointment in tears because I could literally not fit any dresses on my body (I am a size 12-14), they were so expensive considering I could not try them on in order to know whether I really liked them, and the commission atmosphere was full of too many expectations that your going to find something PERFECT. The Brides Project also works with a tailor (Jan) who comes to the store to fit dresses at a really affordable price in the spirit of what the charity is all about - we were blown away by how quick and inexpensive it was to alter my dress. All in all, I definitely recommend going here, if only to try on dresses in your size to see what style you like. You might find your dream dress like I did! -

Amanda Sent on 09/01/2015I had the BEST experience at The Bride's Project. It was the first place I even really went, and the dress I selected was the third one I put on! My consultant (Jessica) was knowledgeable enough of the alteration process to show me what could be done to the dress I ended up purchasing to make it absolutely perfect for my day. I had reverse sticker shock when I found out the gown I selected was only $300! So glad this place is in business for the Cancer Support Community and hope many more brides go to them. -

Kate Sent on 12/10/2014I really enjoyed the personal experience where I got to be in the room with my size range and just have fun trying on all the gowns with my mother and sister's help. There was no pressure to buy like at boutique stores. Also the deals are amazing! I got my dress brand-new never worn for $700, retail price of $2000. It made deciding to purchase very easy. The staff were very attentive if I asked for help and I really appreciate them volunteering their time. -

Kelly Sent on 11/05/2019Amazing cause
When I found out about this store, I really wanted to find my wedding dress here. This store is a non-profit that receives donated dresses, and all proceeds made are donated to a cancer support service group in Ann Arbor. My mother is a cancer survivor, so putting my wedding dress purchase toward this cause meant a lot to me. I found the perfect wedding dress, but I did need alterations and wanted to add sleeves to my dress. Luckily, this store works with a tailor who comes in a few times a week for alterations. She was able to alter my dress to exactly what I wanted for a reasonable price. I love that this store exists, and highly recommend it.
