    I said yes to the dress!!

    Everything was wonderful! Highly recommend I was made to feel comfortable and confident from the moment I requested to book an appointment. All of their dresses are soo beautiful as well. I’m so excited for my wedding day I can’t wait to put that dress back on!

    Great people, great experience!

    Shelby was so great in the search for my dress! I had no clue what I wanted, but she really listened to what I didn't like and helped me find something I was happy and comfortable in! She takes the time to get to know each bride, I can't say enough good things about Vintage Chic!

    Size Inclusive and Confidence Boosting

    I have been following Vintage Chic Bridal boutique for years now on social media and finally had my own opportunity to go wedding dress shopping for myself and knew this was going to be where I’d find my dream dress and I was right!! The boutique is stunning and had its own parking lot which was nice! I picked Vintage Chic because I knew they were size inclusive and had a great variety of dresses that I could try on in my size. Their dress selection was stunning. Shelby, the owner, was very thorough before my appointment in asking what I was looking for and had dresses picked out for me based on her expertise and she was not wrong. She hand picked my dream dress and she knew just from looking at me that I had found my dress. To top it all off, after I chose my dress me and my family were treated to a celebratory champagne toast and a confetti popper!! I would recommend Vintage Chic to anyone but especially to any of my fellow mid/plus size girlies because the experience was so confidence boosting and welcoming! I’ll update with photos after my wedding date!

    2 Hour Drive

    I made an appointment shortly after I got engaged. There was a snafu with the scheduled date, but Shelby and her mom were so accommodating and made the appointment happen. I found my dress that day and was not expecting to, as dress shopping can be a long process. I started saving. In the meantime, I could not get the dress or the wonderful service I experienced out of my head. I made another appointment to make sure the dress was the one. Again, Shelby was very accommodating and even contacted me that she had another appointment open the day before my scheduled one. We all felt very comfortable at the appointment both times. I had no hesitations saying yes to my dress with Shelby. There are also no worries about seeing another bride in your dress. The options Shebly has for dresses are perfect! I highly recommend!!!!

    First dress fitting & we found the perfect dress with Shelbys help

    I just had an appointment with Shelby over the weekend, going in having no clue what I really wanted. Shelby did great in helping me pick the perfect dresses to try on and when it came down to the final 3 dresses she did great in helping me pick the PERFECT dress. I cant wait until my wedding day to show all of my family and friends the most beautiful dress! Shelby made me and my feel so comfortable, even before my appointment. Shelby was great at communication, before, after and during my appointment!

    Amazing experience!

    Dress shopping was made so easy and stress free at Vintage Chic. Shelby takes the time to get to know you, about your wedding, and what you're looking for before your appointment. The appointment is personalized to you and private so you get her full attention while trying on dresses. It is such a nice and welcoming atmosphere where you feel comfortable and beautiful the whole time. Shelby is so knowledgeable and pulls dresses that you may not imagine that you will like but she definitely knows what she is doing!! The dress I said yes to was not something I ever thought I would like but sure enough I tried it on and fell in love. It was truly a great experience all around!

    Absolutely amazing 100% recommend

    100% exceeded my expectations. Shelby was amazing I could not have asked for a better experience. All the dresses I tried on were absolutely gorgeous. The atmosphere was top 10. You were welcomed with warm arms and they made you feel like you were at home. This place is the one you want to go to say YES to your dress. Their prices are affordable, considering you’re trying on private label dresses. Their costumer service and communication is FANTASTIC, I could text Shelby with any questions and she was right on the ball with answering. Shelby wasn’t just there to sell you a dress, she was there to get to know you, ask you questions, make sure you felt comfortable, tell you how beautiful you looked. She is absolutely amazing. Please, please, please consider Vintage Chic if you are still looking for the right dress, you will not regret it at all!!!!!

    Such and amazing experience!

    Shelby is the best! I had so much fun shopping for my dress. She made everything super special and effortless! I love that you and your party are the only ones there during your appointment. My family had such a good time being there with me, and they all felt so comfortable! I would definitely send everyone I know to Vintage Chic to buy their wedding dress!

    Incredible

    I could go on and on about my experience at Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique. I was nervous going into today but shelby made me feel so comfortable and I felt so at home. I have never felt more confident and beautiful, the energy they brought along with my bridal party, I seriously felt on top of the world. The communication prior to the appointment was incredible, so much so, she had dresses pulled and waiting for us when we got to the shop. The first one I tried ended up being the one, I was in disbelief and honestly still am! Plus, they have AMAZING champaign so what else could a girl need? ;)

    The Most Special Experience

    What an amazing experience and atmosphere this was! Shelby and her momma made my dress day so amazing. It was worth every penny and gave me so much more than just a beautiful dress and some sweet treats!

    I was greeted with beautiful flowers as I walked in and just pure love and joy. Shelby and her mom were just so sweet and kind. Each detail was beautiful in the boutique and each dress was beautifully made. I had my eyes on one particular dress but she still had me make sure I was shown all the goods that I sent to her.

    Shelby, her momma, and my crew made me feel absolutely beautiful in my skin. Complimenting my figure and how I beamed in the dress I picked.

    Shelby also took time and care into messaging me before my appointment making sure she got the run down on what I loved and just to get to know each other and make sure I felt prepared comfortable for the day of.

    I could not asked for a better place and day to find “the one”. I dropped some tears and could not stop looking at my figure in “the dress”.

    If your looking for a one-on-one amazing experience with the most detailed and beautiful dresses at an amazing price. Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique is the place to go!

    All I can say is I left feeling stunning, more confident, and knowing that I picked “the one”.

    An Unforgettable Experience

    I truly cannot rave enough about my experience at Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique!
    I started my search for my perfect gown on my own at a shop near where I lived. Unfortunately, I wasn't offered much guidance, and my body had changed quite a bit in the 10 years since I'd been in a formal gown. I felt defeated and like I'd have to settle to find something that flattered my body type, regardless of how close it was to my ideal gown. I shared some of my frustrations with some friends, one of whom had heard of VCBB at a bridal expo, and her exact words to me were, "they make it so special, and you will feel like a QUEEN!" - and it couldn't be more true.

    From the moment I booked with Shelby, I knew from our first conversation that this was going to be the positive experience that I'd been searching for. She took the time to learn about my venue, my vision, and what I'd hoped for in a dress. The day that I showed up for my appointment, she and her mom met my bridal party with mimosas, bundt cakes, and nothing but amazing energy.

    I was able to find a dress that surpassed any and every expectation, and I was able to have peace of mind in knowing that every gown in the shop was affordably priced. This was easily one of the most joyous experiences that wedding planning had to offer, and that's all thanks to the efforts of Shelby and her mom!

    Amazing experience

    I would recommend this shop to anyone! Shelby and her staff are amazing! The wedding planning process is long and can be stressful. So being a plus size bride who wants a black dress, I was worried finding a dress would be almost impossible. Until I found Vintage Chic! I only had to try on 2 dresses before I had THE dress! Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique made this bride VERY happy ❤️❤️

    Highly Recommend!!

    Highly recommend Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique! Shelby was amazing! She was very responsive leading up to my appointment with any questions I had, she also asked questions to get to know me and what dress styles I liked. She was very organized and had everything ready upon my arrival. She had selected dresses she thought I would like the best, and the first one I tried one I fell in love with and said yes to my dress! She made this day non stressful and was very caring!

    Finding my dream dress!

    Being a plus size bride I was super worried about finding somewhere to find the perfect dress and vintage chic was the prefect place to do so! Shelby messaged me a couple days before my appointment to see what I was looking for in a dress. I sent pictures of dresses that I really liked and when I got there they were out for me to try on. By the 3rd dress I knew that I had found the one. I can’t wait to be able to wear it on my wedding day! I couldn’t recommend coming here more! Thank you so much to Shelby and her mom for helping find my dream dress!

    Amazing experience with beautiful dresses to choose from

    I will forever be thankful for my experience with Shelby! The one on one experience made me feel so comfortable. Shelby is so personable and makes you feel like a beautiful bride in so many ways. I had another appointment after hers and she was going to fit me back in her schedule same day if I wanted the dress I loved at her shop. After spending 3 hours at another shop, I texted her that the dress at her shop is the one I love/want. She immediately called me, left her home and welcomed me back in her shop. She even let me try the dress on again. Happy tears were shed for sure! She set the bar so high and I was all smiles from the time I showed up to the time I left. She was so amazing to work with and I am so grateful for everything she helped me with picking out my dress. You are amazing Shelby!
    I just picked up my dress with Shelby's mom and she was just as amazing! She also helped me pick out the perfect veil!

    Dream dress shopping

    Vintage Chic was the experience every bride dreams of when looking for a wedding dress. Being a plus size bride there are so many added fears and insecurities that come along with it. Shelby is absolutely amazing and did everything to make me feel comfortable and beautiful. She helped make the day perfect and helped me find the perfect dress

    Unforgettable Experience

    I knew I wanted to go to Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique for my dress as soon as I came across their Facebook page. I loved the dresses and loved what Shelby stands for and the experience she provides. I went in May during her appreciation month (another thing I love! Supporting those who support others!) and truly felt like it was a dream. Shelby had messaged me a few days before my appointment asking for ideas of what I was liking and envisioning for my dress. When I got there, Judy (Shelby’s mom) was so fantastic! She was truly the best hype lady and allowed me to feel so confident and comfortable during my appointment! After finding the one, shedding some tears, and saying yes to my dress, we celebrated with a champagne toast! Truly a day I’ll never forget.

    Amazing!

    When I first booked my appointment, I was not sure what I really wanted! Shelby was great at bringing me options and narrowing it down based off what I did and didn’t like. She is very knowledgeable and good at what she does. She made me feel comfortable and confident in everything I tried on! I actually did not plan to get my dress the day I was there because it was still early and I was “just searching”, but I ended up falling in love with my dress. At that appointment, I was not able to have my mom and sister with me so it was hard for me to say yes right then. Shelby was very patient and let me feel all of my emotions. We ended up video calling my mom and sister, and I was able to say yes to the dress with them on the call! Her patience and kindness with me while I talked to my mom and sister made my “yes” moment very special! She is such a gem to work with and has so many beautiful gowns! I highly recommend Shelby and her adorable boutique!

    Amazing experience!

    Vintage Chic was by far the most amazing bridal store experience. Such a kind, inviting, and cozy experience. I never thought I would care much about the experience, but this place changed my mind. It was amazing to have the shop all to yourself and only have your closest people present and viewing! This store was far above and beyond my 5 other store experiences. I would recommend this shop to everyone!

    We loved the atmosphere and friendly welcoming as soon as my friends, family & I walked into Vintage Chic. Shelby was incredibly helpful with helping me narrow down my specific style & listened to what I was wanting. Vintage Chic ended up being my one and only stop for the search of my wedding dress! I cannot wait to wear my gown again on my special day August of 2022, Thank you so much Shelby & employees for giving me a day I'll remember for a lifetime to come!

    You need to visit here!

    The most adorable bridal shop!! Every dress Shelby has is so beautiful, it’s near impossible to choose only one. Shelby is also super friendly, honest, and knows exactly what you’re looking for, even if you don’t 😂. Would definitely recommend!

    100/10 Amazing!

    Shelby is an amazing woman to work with and really has an eye for dresses. She hand picks all the dresses in her shop and the gown I ended up choosing was one she pulled for me! I went to three other dress shops and my favorites there were not as beautiful as even my least favorites at Vintage Chic. All appointments are 1-1 so you truly feel like it is all about you! Shelby takes time to help you in and out of dresses and never makes you feel rushed or that you have tried on too many dresses. The shop is very size inclusive which I know is not always the case. The shop itself is beautiful and I could not recommend anywhere else!

    Perfect Dress for A Difficult Shopper

    Shelby made sure that I had the best experience ever at Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique! As someone who's really difficult to clothes shop for, finding my perfect dress so quickly blew my mind. Shelby knew exactly the right questions to ask to get me to realize how perfect it really was for me. I'd definitely recommend her and the shop to anyone and everyone!

    Perfect and Easy

    Shelby was wonderful to work with and has a beautiful shop. She even designed my dress, but did not mention this until after I had already chosen it as my dream dress (so there was absolutely no pressure to pick it over the others).
