    Amazing experience!

    Vintage Chic was amazing from the moment I made my appointment! Before I even met Shelby in person we text back and forth about what kind of dress I was looking for, sent examples, and made me feel really listened to! Upon arrival she greeted my party and I as if we had been friends for years! My other dress shopping experience hadn’t really been a positive one and Shelby was sure to tell me right off the bat that this visit would NOT be like that and everything I said she took into account to suggest the PERFECT dress for me. Vintage chic was such a clean beautiful place and was overall so welcoming. Like I said it felt like we’d been friends for years! EVERYONE in my party absolutely loved the shops and the experience! I’d recommend everyone to book an appointment at 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!

    Plus Size Bride Approved ✔️

    I had an amazing time at Vintage Chic picking out my wedding dress. Being a bigger bride isn't easy. Not that many shops cater to plus size. One of my bridesmaids told me I needed to book an appointment at Vintage Chic because they have so many options and sizes that I wouldn't have to worry about fitting into the gowns. She also found her wedding dress there. So, of course, I booked an appointment. Once we we were there, my entourage and I were greeted with champagne and a spacious room for everyone to sit. Shelby, the owner, knew I was looking for a black wedding dress. I had tried other places previously but didn't find "the one". It only took until the second dress for me to say, "Yes!". We also found out that she designed the dress herself. It's amazing to know that I'm going to be walking down the aisle in a one-of-a-kind dress and was able to meet the one who designed it.

    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!

    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 ❤️❤️

    10/10 recommend!❤️

    Definitely book with Shelby if you’re wedding dress shopping! Very private and personal moment for you and your guest! Shelby really gets to know her clients and their style before making her suggestions. The way she does try ons and selections was perfect for someone who gets overwhelmed easily! The staff and shop are wonderful as well as the dresses of course😂! 10/10 would recommend!!!

    Fast, helpful, and stress free

    Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique was an amazing place to purchase my wedding dress from! Their response time was fast, their help was amazing, and most importantly they made me feel beautiful. They are very size inclusive and have great updated styles, and many dresses to choose from! They definitely helped make the whole experience stress free.

    Amazing!

    First off, Shelby and her mom were the absolute best people to work with hands down! She took the time ahead of my appointment to message me to get to know more about what I was wanting and to also learn more about my wedding to get a better idea of everything. It was so nice to be greeted at the door when I arrived and to be instantly taken back into the fitting room where there were dresses already pulled for me to try on. This not only took pressure off me, but it made me not feel overwhelmed with the whole process of looking at all the choices that are available. Being able to have that one-on-one appointment with Shelby and no one else there made it even more special.

    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!

    It’s a must go!

    I cannot recommend Shelby and the shop enough! This was by far, my most fun and helpful dress shopping experience. Shelby is a natural and knows exactly how to help guide you to your dress. The shop is beautiful and they have so many beautiful dress choices. This is a must stop!

    Personal and Efficient

    Shelby was like my own personal shopper and was able to help me find the perfect dress on the very 1st time! I had been to 4 other bridal boutiques and each time I was asked to rummage through rows of gowns. Not here! It was so relaxed and personable. My Mom and I really appreciated Shelby and Judy throughout the whole experience as she did text me prior to the appointment to gain insight on the venue and me personally. It was everything I was looking for!

    Personal and Perfected

    Picking my dress out was one of the most special parts of our engagement, and Shelby knew how to make me finally feel like a bride! Before my appointment, Shelby reached out to get to know me and my style, so when my "crew" and I walked in, it immediately felt like I was catching up with an old friend! I was torn between two dresses Shelby hand-picked for me, so she had me try on a couple veils, a bouquet of flowers, and pulled my hair back into an updo to "test" the dresses with. Before that moment, I hadn't been able to visualize myself as a bride, but Shelby helped me finally see my vision come together. I would highly recommend working with Shelby as she knew how to personalize my visit for me and my tribe!

    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!!!!

    Bride Approved

    Shelby was amazing to work with she was very helpful when it came down to finding my perfect dress. Shelby took time out of her day to text me three days before my appointment to find out the style I was looking for and, lucky for her I have been following her for quite a while so all my dresses that I loved came from her boutique. I had a breakdown while we were in the back trying on dresses and she let me take my time and never rushed my appointment. Shelby knew my faces by the end of my appointment and knew what dresses I like and what dresses I didn’t. Shelby made it so special when I found THE dress and I couldn’t thank her enough. The day it was an unforgettable.

    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!

    When it comes to Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique I couldn’t of asked for more! The minute we walked in we were greeted with a welcoming, naturing, bubbly

    When it comes to Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique I couldn’t of asked for more! The minute we walked in we were greeted with a welcoming, naturing, bubbly mother daughter duo! They were amazing and they had champagne mimosas waiting for us in their beautiful shop, that felt so at home, I wanted to stay forever! Before I get to too deep into how helpful these two ladies were, Shelby ( the owner ) texted me days before asking what my style was, what are my favorite things in dresses and what my dos and donts were. This was crazy helpful because they had dresses lined up the minute we started trying on. While we were trying on dresses she made me very comfortable and helped me every step of the way. Things like holding the dress just right, and buttoning and being gentle the whole time. Her mom while this was going on was putting new styles in line to try and talking to my family, which took the ease off for me, I was a little nervous at first! The minute I came out in the first dress I was showered in words of affirmation by not just my family but them as well! It was truly so heartwarming to be around women that care about what they do as a job. When we found the dress, and yes we DID, she measured me right away! It was as easy as that! She let us read all the fine print on the paperwork and sat us down to sign everything which was amazing as well. The pricing at this homey shop is impressive! The dress wasn’t just stunning but well under out budget. With detachable sleeves and all! Thank you Shelby & mom for making our experience one to remember forever.

    One and done!

    Dress shopping with Shelby was a dream! Vintage Chic was my first shop, and going in I had no clue what I wanted in a dress, besides it being white. Before my appointment Shelby had asked if I had any pictures of dresses I liked… these pictures were all over the place. When my mom, sister, and I arrived at the shop Shelby had several (6+) dresses already picked out and waiting for me. I tried on several and we would talk about what I liked and didn’t like. Shelby then would grab more dresses off the rack, or we would switch up styles completely.

    Near the end I was able to narrow my search down to two dresses. While I had these two dresses on, Shelby had me hold a flower bouquet and put a veil on me. Once I put on my dress I just knew it, but wasn’t yet convinced. Shelby asked me “if I were to come back tomorrow and this dress was gone (I couldn’t order it) would I be upset?” That’s how I knew for sure it was my dress. One last try on with the veil and bouquet and the tears came 💕.

    Absolutely perfect!

    Shelby was amazing, both helpful and kind! She was fully prepared for my appointment by doing her research in advance to find my style and preferences so when we got there she had already picked out several beautiful dresses to fit what I was looking for!

    Shelby is absolutely amazing!!

    Vintage Chic was an amazing experience from the moment I made the appointment. Shelby is amazing, we texted back and forth about dress options that would work for me in my price range as well as style! She is super sweet, the day of the appointment I was extremely nervous and I was so afraid that I wouldn’t find something I liked but that was not the case. From the minute I walked in, Shelby made all my worries and nerves go away! Now, on the topic of the bridal shop- it was absolutely everything I have ever dreamed of. It was perfect, so beautiful inside. That day was perfect and I couldn’t ask for a better experience! It was everything a girl could dream of and more- just absolutely perfect.

    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!

    Vintage Chic Bridal Experience

    I had an amazing wedding dress shopping experience at Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique! Shelby, the owner, was an absolute delight to work with. Her professionalism and enthusiasm were evident from the start. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of leading up to my appointment, providing helpful information about the location, parking, and pricing of the gowns.

    When I arrived for my appointment I was greeted with mimosas and a beautifully prepared dressing room. Shelby had already selected several stunning dresses based on my style preferences. Her keen eye for detail and ability to read my reactions were truly impressive.

    What sets Vintage Chic apart is their commitment to size inclusivity. Shelby understands that every bride deserves to feel beautiful and confident, regardless of their size. The boutique celebrates all women, offering a range of sizes and creating a welcoming environment for everyone. The dresses themselves were not only beautiful but also made of exceptional quality materials, ensuring both style and comfort.

    One of the highlights of the experience was the exclusive appointments offered at Vintage Chic. With the shop reserved solely for my family and closest friends, I was able to enjoy the process in an intimate and personalized setting. This created a truly special atmosphere.

    I cannot recommend Shelby and Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique enough. From the moment I booked my appointment, Shelby made me feel comfortable and excited about finding my perfect wedding dress. If you're searching for a dress that reflects your unique style and a memorable shopping experience, look no further than Vintage Chic. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

    Thank You Vintage Chic !

    Vintage Chic is a must stop shop for brides looking for the perfect gown! They have a wide variety of gorgeous dresses that look amazing on any body type! Prior to the appointment Shelby reached out to ask important questions and brainstorm styles and fits for the look I was going for on the big day. Shelby helped me find a dress that made me feel like a real bride. It was a style I would have never imagined picking but she had the eye! I’m so glad she had me try on both my preferred and non preferred styles because you just never know how the dress will make you feel once it’s on. Thank you to the Vintage Chic girls!

    Yes to the dress!

    Okay so let’s talk about Shelby! She is truly a fairy godmother! I was simply amazed how she made me feel sooo beautiful, in every dress I tried on. It is hard being a plus size bride, and I went in my appointment not thinking I would say YES TO THE DRESS! But I DID! With Shelby there she was able to make sure that my opinion of my dress was the most important. The dress I picked wasn’t anything that I was looking for, but in Shelby’s words I was a smoke show! 100/10 to Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique! I cannot wait to walk down the aisle and say yes to the man of my dreams!

    AMAZING! Shelby is the best!


    Had the BEST experience in Shelby’s shop! The private showings make the moment all about you! She knows the names of every dress and guides you effortlessly to the perfect one! Shelby helped me navigate what I was expecting to be a very stressful experience (I’m super type A and have difficulties making decorations) and made it fun along the way!

    Loved my experience!!

    My experience with Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique was amazing!! Shelby is the sweetest human ever and I felt like she really took the time to get to know me even before my appointment. It’s so nice being the only appointment and having Shelby and her mom focused on you the whole time. I went into the appointment with very few details about what I wanted and Shelby was great about helping me narrow down what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking!!
