Amazing Seamstresses!
Lisa and the rest of the team at Weddings 826 were absolutely incredible to work with. Lisa re-did my mom's wedding gown from 1984, and turned it into the dress of my dreams. She was so careful to consult me during every step of the process, and the result was phenomenal. Pricing was incredibly reasonable too. I couldn't be happier with Weddings 826! -

Emma H. Sent on 12/16/2021Loved Weddings 826!
I had a wonderful experience at Weddings 826 with Suzi and her team. Michelle helped me find my dress back in February 2020 and it wasn't until August of 2021 that I started my alterations there. We had planned on doing 3 alteration appointments but ended up having to add 2 additional because the top of my dress was not fitting as I had hoped. Rachel was absolutely amazing and did everything to make sure that my dress fit by my wedding date. My last fitting was the week of my wedding and although it was a little nerve-wracking, she did an amazing job making me feel confident that it would be ready and fitting perfectly. Well it did and I received so many compliments about how incredible it was. It fit like a glove. Suzi and her team were helpful, responsive, and very hands-on. They answered all my questions and made sure my dress was steamed and ready. Thank you Suzi and team for all your help throughout the process! -

Liz Sent on 02/01/2019Adorable shop and great dresses for the price!
My second appointment of my big dress shopping day with my mom brought us to Weddings 826, and it did not disappoint! The shop is adorable, cozy, and the staff is very welcoming. My bridal assistant, Kayla, was so sweet and asked lots of great questions to figure out what I was looking for. She quickly knew my style and brought some gorgeous dresses (she seemed to have a great memory for their inventory too!). Their appointment slots are one hour, which is a tad short for someone who's just starting to dress shop. That being said, Kayla was kind enough to let me go over the hour so that I could re-try my two favorite dresses to snag pics and compare. Although I ended up finding "the" dress at a different store later that day, I cannot recommend Weddings 826 and their lovely staff enough! -

Elena Sent on 10/01/2019Amazing service right here in the city
Both my sister and myself have worked with Weddings 826 at this time. You will not find a better team in the city. Everyone is professional and goes the extra mile to make each bride feel special and like a priority. They work with exceptional tailors that can transform even the most difficult of fabrics and styles so that the dress fits like a glove! Suzi has exceptional attention to detail and years of experience that is invaluable. We cannot recommend Suzi and her team enough! -

Rachael N. Sent on 08/01/2019Helpful and professional staff with wide variety of dresses
Weddings 826 saved me! I bought a dress from another store in December for my June wedding. When the dress didn't arrive as scheduled in March, I was left scrambling for a new dress 3 months before my wedding. Weddings 826 helped me find a lovely (off-the-rack) dress and their in-house tailor, Brian, got the alterations done in time. For such a small place, they have a wide selection of dresses, both off-the-rack and order-only. They are extremely professional, organized, friendly, and caring, and I cannot thank them enough for helping me out of a pinch! Thanks Suzi and Brian!! -
Jordan Sent on 08/29/2018I only purchased accessories here but had a fabulous time doing so! I brought my dress and one friend with me and Jordan helped me. She was so nice and accommodating. We were offered champagne when we arrived and I gave Jordan an idea of what I was looking for. She brought me some great options for jewelry and I ended up selecting some beautiful rose gold drop earrings and a silver and rose gold necklace. Would highly recommend Weddings 826 for all your dress and accessory needs!

Rachel Sent on 12/16/2017I wasn't really thrilled about wedding dress shopping, having always struggled to find dresses that look right on me (big bust, tiny waist, bit of a tummy, short torso, and curves everywhere does not make clothes shopping easy for me). After getting engaged I was hesitant to even get a traditional wedding dress. But after shopping, and picking out my wedding dress, at Weddings 826, I was finally on board with being--and looking--like a bride.
The shop itself is adorable; quaint and cozy, without any of the overwhelming feelings that other bridal salons can have. The staff was super friendly, offering us water, coffee, and/or champagne as soon as we walked in.
Don't let the somewhat minimal amount of dresses in their front space fool you; there's a ton more dresses stored in the back (I think they just put the newest ones out front). I found a couple I wanted to try on in the front room, and after telling my consultant the types of styles I was looking for, what I definitely was not looking for, and my concerns, she went in the back and grabbed a bunch more options for me.
I tried on several dresses I liked, and eventually found "the one." I opted to use Weddings 826 for my alterations, too, and was thrilled to not have to seek out another vendor to do that. I was hoping to make my strapless dress work without having to wear a strapless bra underneath, but after two fittings where their seamstress did her best to make that happen, it was clear that I would need a strapless bra afterward. I called them asking for a quick pop-in appointment between my second and final fitting to try the dress on with the bra I had just purchased, and they were very accommodating.
A lovely space with a wide variety of dresses (and accessories! I got my earrings there, too!), and a friendly, helpful staff, I would highly recommend making Weddings 826 a stop on your dress hunting mission. -

Jennifer Sent on 10/16/2017Weddings 826 bridal shop in Lincoln Park was the perfect place for me to find a dress. A lovely shop with warm and welcoming interior. Suzi is amazing! Attentive, passionate, kind and so patient. She is very professional and gracious. She really went above and beyond. Suzi was attentive to what I had in mind in terms of style and suggested a few dresses. She patiently brought out those gorgeous dresses and allowed us to take our time to decide which would be perfect.
I highly recommend Suzi and Weddings 826 for an intimate dress shopping experience.

User2796613 Sent on 10/02/2016Found this cute little boutique in Chicago. Just the right amount of dress, it wasn't too overwhelming. I found my dress a year and half before my wedding. Very affordable prices, not the Chicago price tag you would expect to pay. I also got my alterations done here. Deborah did a beautiful job taking my dress from a size 10 down to a size 4. Also had a custom belt made, beautiful work. Weddings 826 was on top of everything they even fit me in for a "just in case" fitting 4 days before my wedding.
