    Wedding Dress Fitting & Purchase

    I bought my wedding dress from The Ultimate Bride in July 2022 and had a fabulous experience start to finish. The team was really easy and flexible in scheduling, especially when I had to cancel my first appointment due to COVID exposure. Between my first consultation to buying and picking up my dress, I worked with three different bridal consultants, and they were each stellar. My original consultant Eleni was especially wonderful in helping me narrow down my options when I was feeling overwhelmed and listening to what I wanted and needed (both style and price-wise) from the experience. My mother, my friend, and I felt very welcome and cared for as part of my wedding dress shopping experience. I could not recommend The Ultimate Bride more highly.

    Beautiful Dress

    The dress itself was around $1,200 and the alterations and steaming got it up to around $2,000. Best money I’ve ever spent, it’s a BEAUTIFUL dress

    I had a great experience with The Ultimate Bride for my wedding dress. The first time I went, I went by myself and Mona was a huge help as I didn't have any particular style in mind. She spent a lot of time picking out gowns for me before I found the one. I went back to try dresses on with my bridesmaids and Mom and she was just as helpful. I was amazed that when my dress came in it fit me like a glove and I didn't even need any alterations. We had even added length on and I didn't have my wedding shoes when we ordered the dress, and somehow it was perfect. Thanks so much, Mona!! The Ultimate Bride pressed my dress (and my veil, even though I purchased it elsewhere) and did my bustle for me. Everything was seamless from start to finish and I highly recommend them!

    The Ultimate Bride was such a joy to work with! They were my first and last stop when finding my wedding gown (the third dress I tried on!). Mona was our stylist during the shopping process and was so sweet. She fit in so well with my family and I as were were looking at gowns and she was so helpful when determining the style I wanted. Needless to say, we found the perfect gown! My gown was very intricate, but Cecilia, the alterations manager, did a fantastic job! She insured that the gown fit perfectly and paid attention to every detail. I loved getting to visit both Mona and CC with every fitting. I highly recommend The Ultimate Bride!

    This store makes all of the dresses look so beautiful! The elegant setting truly makes you feel at ease when trying on dresses. Large dressing rooms and seats for our parents to sit in were nice too. Alteration costs were also reasonable and they had late hours after work so that was very helpful.

    After several appointments at other bridal salons in St. Louis, with no luck,I decided to stop into the Ultimate Bride without an appointment. I was immediately greated and felt welcomed! Even though I wasn't scheduled, Meghan took the time to see what was looking for in a wedding gown.... She immediately understood my vision! She pulled 3 dresses for me, and the second dress I tried on was PERFECT! It was everything I had hoped to find, and within my budget. She made me feel so comfortable, and treated me more like a friend, offering great advice. Don't waste your time at other salons. Go to the Ultimate Bride, and ask for Meghan!!!!

    They were great! They let us take our time to shop for both bridesmaids dresses as well as my dress. They were honest in their opinions when asked. The alterations lady did an excellent job as well. I couldn't be more happy.

    I said yes to the dress at The Ultimate Bride! I worked with Jan recently to shop for my wedding dress and she was very professional and personable. I felt comfortable telling her how I felt, what I liked, what I didn't like, etc. and she provided incredible service just by listening and taking everything I said into consideration. I grew close with her within the hour and a half appointment I had and wish I could work with her more throughout my whole wedding planning process. I will likely come back soon to pick out bridesmaid dresses because of the professional service I received and because of the wide selection of dresses they have. Thank you for the wonderful day and very memorable experience you provided me! :)

    I purchased my gown from the Ultimate Bride. I visited several stores and this store is beautiful and all of the ladies are so friendly and helpful. Megan was my consultant and she is awesome. Her knowledge and experience in bridal is unsurpassed. She knew exactly the kind of gown that would look good on me and fit my personality. She made recommendations for accessories to match, and they were all fantastic. My gown was a show stopper!!! The Ultimate Bride is the best bridal experience in St. Louis.

    This was my third shop - everywhere else was really great, but Rebecca put me in the first dress I showed her and it was the one! I loved that she put me in a dress almost completely different because it was similar to dresses I had tried on in the past that everyone kept trying to get me into and it just reassured me that the first dress was the right one.

    I said yes to the dress at The Ultimate Bride and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else! Sheila was my stylist for the day and she helped me pick out the most beautiful gown - an all lace sheath dress by Essence of Austrailia. I came in last minute and purchased my veil - a beautiful lace cathedral veil. I was able to purchase the veil off the rack for a 40% discount! I received all of my alterations at the salon as well. Laura, their head seamstress was wonderful and she didn't charge me any extra to have a few last minute finishing touches. The customer service was great and I highly recommend future brides to purchase their dress here!

    I bought my wedding dress from The Ultimate Bride. I only had 3 months until my wedding and they were able to find me a designer that could ship my dress in a couple of weeks. I also had my alterations done there and KiKi did a fabulous job!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Great experience!

    I think her name was Lauren that I was working with. She was there buyer and had been working there for at least 10 years. She was nothing but amazing. I found the perfect dress in under 45 min and stayed way under my budget.

    Rachel at The Ultimate Bride is the most amazing individual. I worked with her over 6 months and I never once had any issues. She really listened to what I wanted and we found the perfect dress in my price range. I couldn't have asked for a better representative to help me with my dress and my bridesmaid dresses. She spent hours going over bridesmaids dresses with us and never once got frustrated or annoyed. She truly is amazing!

    Of all the bridal shops I visited, this one is the best! The woman who helped me, April, was extremely nice and excited for my wedding. They had absolutely gorgeous wedding and bridesmaid dresses at fair prices. They had beautiful accessories, too. I ordered my wedding dress from Ultimate Bride and they told me it would take 8 months to arrive, but it only took 3 weeks! It is in perfect condition and I could not be happier with the experience!

    This bridal store was the best by far. The wedding stylist was running a little behind from her previous appointment and I had to wait 10-15 minutes. I used the time to look around the store. The wedding stylist was great! I explained what kind of dresses I had already tried on and I described what I wanted. She knew exactly what style of dress I was looking for and found the perfect dress. The service was better than any other store I went to.

    I went to The Ultimate Bride for my first experience trying on wedding dresses. It was everything a newly engaged woman could want. Megan Rumsey made me feel absolutely beautiful. She really listened to what I wanted and at the same time opened my eyes to styles I never thought of. Even thought I went to 2 more bridal shops after The Ultimate Bride the experience wasn't the same. I ended up back where I started in the dress I couldn't get out of my head. They say you know when you know... I totally knew! : )

    The Ultimate Bride did a great job with my entire wedding party! They made my wedding dress shopping experience so special and they were very helpful when picking dresses. I had a large wedding party and they were great with working with each individual girl to fit their schedules! They also did a great job with alterations my dress fit perfectly!

    When the supplier decided they couldn't supply the dress 2 months before the wedding (it had already been ordered for 5 months) the owner at The ultimate bride took over and worked miracles. We found a dress we liked more and everything worked out fine. They did it right.

    I LOVED this bridal shop. they made it so easy to find the dress of my dreams. I went in with the idea of wanting a lace dress and asked tem to pull something the complete opposite and the moment I put that dress on I fell in love. I can not thank them enough.

    Wow! Best place on the planet to get a dress! I LOVED that the staff really LISTENED to what I was saying in my description of a dress. I was very happy to simply provide a list of adjectives and then see what they pulled out--all under my $2500 budget! I thought I knew what I wanted and had been to 2 other places looking through the racks and trying dresses on, not falling in love with anything. At Ultimate Bride, I let the staff look through the racks based upon my descriptors, and I ended up liking pretty much every dress I tried on (none of which I likely would have chosen off the rack myself). One dress ended up being 'the one' and I knew it the minute I saw myself. After buying the dress, Rezzi did all of my fittings and she was the best! She made each visit fun, and the dress fit perfectly! I would not go anywhere else in St. Louis to buy a dress!!
