    Most amazing experience!

    I purchased my dress back in December from the Savvy Bride. It was recommended to me by a friend that purchased their dress for their wedding years prior. Erica was so wonderful to work with and accommodating. She was patient, kind, and helped me find the most perfect dress. Her shop has so many beautiful gowns that are so well taken care of, and tons of options within different price ranges. I would highly recommend Savvy Bride!

    A great place to find your dream dress!

    After checking out multiple bridal shops, the Savvy Bride was my last stop. I was in sort of a rush to get a dress, and finding something I didn't have to order was key. Erica helped me find the perfect dress for me. I had saved similar photos online and after a few options, she nailed it. Erica makes sure to only purchase the best of the best quality and has a variety of options and styles to choose from. Not only that, but she was able to immediately get me in contact with someone who does alternations in my town... over an hour away near Poughkeepsie, NY. This person ended up being incredibly talented, kind, and fun to work with. Shop local with Erica. She's amazing and so is her shop. Thanks so much for making my wedding dress dreams come true!

    Erica is great to work with!

    I came to the Savvy Bride after having tried on dresses at David's Bridal and Nordstrom's and definitely preferred my experience with Erica at the Savvy Bride! She chose just the right gowns for me to try on based on an email questionnaire she sent out before the appointment. I felt so comfortable and really valued her recommendations. Even though I didn't find *the* gown during my appointment, I would highly recommend checking the Savvy Bride because you can't beat the deals and the one-on-one attention and guidance from Erica!

    An amazing hidden gem with such beautiful gowns!

    First heard of the Savvy Bride from a friend who got her dress there. I had been to some of the more classic bridal shops during my search (big stores, strict appointment slots, impersonal efficient feel) so when I came to Savvy Bride and met Erica it was such an amazing breath of fresh air. I didn't feel rushed at all during our appointment and I felt like she truly took the time to understand what I was looking for. I tried on some of the most beautiful dresses at her store - and all at such a reasonable price! It was so wonderful to be able to walk out of the store with my wedding dress (and at almost half the budget I had initially set for myself!). Erica also helped me get a beautiful veil a few weeks before my wedding - she even dropped it off at my nearby tailor so I wouldn't have to make an extra trip! My mom still refers to that store as "a place of such joy" and it couldn't be more true. Love this place!

    Beautiful dress, great experience

    We arrived at The Savvy Bride after two days of back to back wedding dress appointments (my mom was only in town for a weekend to go with me) so we were tired and a little drained. She set me at ease right away and every dress I tried on seemed perfect, up until the last one when I knew it was absolutely the one. The price was spot on and although because of Covid I didn’t get to wear my dress until a full 2 years later, it was absolutely gorgeous and worth the wait. Couldn’t recommend this place any higher.

    You will find your dress here!

    The Savvy Bride is just the best! I bought my dress from here about 2 years ago and thanks to COVID, I finally got to wear it! I had heard of the Savvy Bride through a friend who got her dress there so I knew I needed to check it out! Erica was so helpful from the beginning. She had a questionnaire that asked what styles of dresses do you like, what pictures do you like, your budget, etc. From there, she chose the ones that best fit my criteria to try on. Her shop is so cozy and cute! The front of the store has all the dresses and accessories out for you to look at. In the back is where you try on with a cute little couch for your entourage. In the end, I found the best dress for me and it was so reasonably priced! The size was a little big so she recommended a seamstress who could help with alternations. I am obsessed with my dress and wish I could wear it again! Overall, you will not be disappointed at The Savvy Bride!

    Erica to the rescue!

    Gorgeous gowns at affordable prices?! The Savvy Bride is a hidden gem and Erica is such awesome at finding you what you’re looking for. The gown you try on is the gown you take home—no ordering, waiting, you take it home that day! She also gave a wonderful seamstress recommendation for the most affordable alterations: Linda at Nights in White Satin, sweet and busy but dedicated!

    Finally said yes!!

    After many stores, I finally found my dress here. Erica was great- incredibly good at what she does, and made us all feel comfortable. I walked away excited and feeling great about my purchase. I’d highly recommend making an appointment here.

    The Compliments on my Wedding Dress are Flowing

    I went to Erica after going to quite a few bridal shops. I am plus sized and Erica was the first person in one of these stores that didn't ask me to "use my imagination" when talking about a custom gown. She showed me that a girl my size can still look beautiful on her big day. I just got married on 10/17/2020 and the compliments I am getting on my dress are coming in from all over, even strangers who see my pictures. I love how I looked on my special day and Erica's kindness and humor made my experience that much better. It was also a great price. Can't thank her enough for what she did for me.

    Amazing experience!

    We went to The Savvy Bride for my wedding dress, and had a great experience! I needed a dress I could take home with me right away as my wedding was only a few months away. I loved that I had the whole shop to ourselves during my appointment. Erica was so helpful in figuring out what kind of dress I liked - I started out thinking I would like a more simple style, and she quickly figured out that I actually wanted something with a little more sparkle. I tried on 12 dresses total, and mine was the 6th one, and this was the only place I needed to go! I was so impressed with Erica’s ability to pick out dresses that I would like. I ended up with a beautiful dress, at a very fair price. Before I took it home, she noticed a tiny tear in one area and fixed it up for me so it was perfect. Would highly recommend!

    Patient & Caring

    Erica was great! She was very patient with me as I tried to commit to a dress. No pressure just advice & a genuine desire to make sure I was beyond happy with my decision!!

    Although I ended up going with a dress from another store, I am so glad I went to The Savvy Bride! Erica was amazing to work with throughout the whole process. As soon as I booked my appointment, she sent me a questionnaire to find out more about what I was looking for. During the appointment, she was super friendly, stuck to my budget, and pulled dresses based on my feedback. Finally, when I decided my heart was set on a dress from somewhere else, she was really understanding and even recommended a seamstress. Overall, Erica is running an awesome shop, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

    Best Wedding Dress Shop

    Erica was such a pleasure to work with. I came into her store not thinking I'd find the one my first day dress shopping but she had so many beautiful gowns to choose from I ended up falling in love and finding my dream dress. I never even second-guessed my decision because I knew it was the one! The personalized shopping experience that Erica provides is amazing - you have the entire store to yourself and she personally assists you in finding the style gown you want and even made suggestions. She also provided recommendations for alterations and helped me to find my veil at her store as well! Overall it was a great experience and my Maggie Sottero Gown looked beautiful on my wedding day. Thank you again for everything Erica!

    Personalized service and affordable dresses – what more can you ask for ladies!

    I made an appointment with Savvy Bride after visiting 5 other bridal salons, becoming increasingly frustrated, and running out of time! Upon walking into Savvy Bride, I immediately felt at ease rather than overwhelmed like I had at other big box bridal stores. Erica was so sweet and the salon is so inviting! The best part is you’re the only bride there so the focus is truly just on you! Erica had taken the time to look at my Pinterest board so she already had dresses that she felt fit my style ready in the dressing room. She also encouraged me to look at any dresses in my size and to try on as many as I wanted! It was truly a no pressure environment and she was so supportive. You buy the dresses off the rack at Savvy Bride which was such a blessing for me! I struggled with envisioning and guessing what sample dresses would look like on me at other bridal salons but you don’t have that issue here since you are trying on the gowns in your size and that’s the gown you’ll bring home that day. I bought an Eddy K gown which was a great value for a sample gown and was in pristine condition!

    I am having a shorter engagement (6 months - 5 months left at the time I went to try on gowns) and worried about falling in love with something that was not going to be able to come in on time or where I would have to pay extra for a rush cut. Then, I went to The Savvy Bride and walked out with my dream dress on the same day! The dress is from one of my favorite designers. I had seen this dress online and on the websites of high end boutiques but, of course, paid a fraction of the price! It fit me so well and will be perfect for my Chicago wedding in the spring. The whole experience was more "my style" - Erica is casual and calm. She allows you the entire store for a full 2 hours and does not pressure you into buying. And while she pulls some dresses based on what she thinks you may like (she has a good eye - she picked out the one I ended up buying, not me :)), you are also allowed to browse all of the gowns and select your own to try on too. All in all, it was so easy to say yes to the dress! And to a veil and accessories too - which she also has great deals on! To brides out there that would like something trendy and stylish without breaking the budget, you must try The Savvy Bride!
