Jessica M. Sent on 10/04/2023Go to your dream bridal!
If I could give Melinda 1000 stars, I would!!
First, Melinda doesn't double book. When you visit her shop, you have the whole (beautiful) shop to yourself (and your guests, I went with my mom), and you receive Melinda's undivided attention. She spent TWO HOURS with us!
Melinda has you complete a detailed questionnaire before you come in, and she reads every word of it! When I walked in the door, she had looked through my Pinterest and already had some thoughts on what I was and wasn't going to love. My mom and I both felt like she did her homework to get to know me and my taste. Once I started trying on the gowns, I felt like she was great at reading what I was gravitating towards and what I wasn't.
But more than that, what impressed me most about Melinda was that she was clearly knowledgeable about the designers she carries and the Bridal industry. She had an exclusive on carrying Jesus Peiro's newest gowns, which demonstrated that she clearly has a strong relationship with the designer.
In addition, everything can be customizable. If I liked the top of one gown and the bottom of the other, but wanted buttons down the back, Melinda could work with the designer to custom make exactly what I wanted (and we did end up adding some customizations!!). She also had recommendations for alterations, hair, and makeup vendors.
I had 2 more dress appointments that day, and cancelled them both after committing to my dress with Melinda. I am so happy!! Everyone should go to Melinda and Your Dream Bridal. You won't get this experience, this selection of gowns, or this quality of a store/shop owner anywhere else. -

The BEST Bridal Dress Experience!
The BEST wedding dress shopping experience! Malinda truly makes dreams come true. Malinda worked with me to pick not only one, but two gorgeous gowns (Suzanne Neville for ceremony and reception, and Jesus Peiro for afterparty) and my veil to match my dress (Peter Langner). I looked in NJ, NY and MA, and Malinda provided the most personalized, curated, and caring experience out of all of the luxury bridal salons that I went to. The selection of dresses in the store is phenomenal, and Malinda was with me every step of the way to ensure that I felt like the most beautiful version of myself. Please do yourself a favor, fellow brides, and go see Malinda. She will be your fairy godmother! -

Working with Malinda was SO fabulous and I recommend Your Dream Bridal to every bride that I know! From start to finish she personalizes every part of the process -- I bought my dress at the height of COVID, and she still made me feel so taken care of AND safe the whole time.
Before my visit, I filled out a fun style questionnaire and had a zoom call with her to start exploring my favorite styles. During the visit, my sister and closest friends were able to zoom in to a HUGE screen and experience all the fun with me from afar. I had visited other bridal salons before Your Dream Bridal, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Malinda narrowed in on my specific preferences after just a few dresses and ultimately she suggested working with a bridal designer to combine one dress's silhouette with another's fabric! Every designer that Malinda stocks can be customized in this way, and I was SO pleased with the idea and the outcome!
Two years later I finally got married and can share some pictures of the gorgeous dress! If you are reading this review, don't hesitate -- book an appointment with Malinda now!!! -

Malinda, the owner, is really amazing. First of all, she fit me into a busy Saturday schedule and stayed late for me. I sent her pictures beforehand of my vision and she took the time to review the images and had already pulled gowns she believed I would like. She has a professionalism and thoughtfulness unlike any other person I have encountered in this industry. She was able to help me clarify my likes and dislikes and knew so much about each gown, the cut, and what makes it fit a certain way. Unlike other bridal shops in the area, her appointments are 1.5 hours, which is the perfect amount of time to not feel rushed. If you are looking for a dress in the Boston area, start here. -

Lauren U. Sent on 11/15/2019AMAZING Experience! Highly recommend making an appointment!!
I had such an amazing appointment with Malinda at Your Dream Bridal! I had shopped for dresses only once before and wasn't 100% certain what I wanted. She asked me questions, listened to my feedback on each dress, and eventually NAILED what I liked and didn't like. She is truly incredible at what she does and I can't say enough great things about her and her shop. She makes you feel at ease and also gives honest feedback on every dress she puts on you. I cannot wait to wear my dress next year!! Thank you, Malinda! -

Everything about my experience was perfect! I am so happy that I went to Your Dream Bridal and purchased my dream dress. Malinda, the salon owner, is super professional and very knowledgeable.
I love that every appointment is private and the entire salon is available just for you and your guests. This was my first experience trying on wedding dresses and I didn't know what I wanted. Malinda was patient and helpful, finding dresses that I asked for and others that she thought would fit my venue and style. It's very clear that she knows her stuff and honestly wants each bride to find her perfect dress. She asked important, big-picture questions that turned my indecisiveness into a vision that I had not been able to verbalize or describe.
Malinda is punctual in responding to appointment requests and emails. She did not pressure me into buying a dress at my first appointment and was very transparent about what dresses were in and out of my budget. I am so happy that I came back to Your Dream Bridal and bought my dress from Malinda. I got a beautiful sample right off the rack that was in excellent condition and allowed me to stay in budget! -

Malinda is absolutely incredible. The experience she created for me, my friends, and my family went above and beyond my expectations. I really had no idea what I wanted but Malinda was great about listening to the things that were important to me and then having me try on things she thought met those needs - and she was always right! She asked super helpful questions to help me understand what I liked and disliked about each option so that when it came time to choose I had no doubts. I truly found my dream dress at Your Dream Bridal and have the absolute best memory shopping with my friends, family & Malinda. 10/10 recommend! -

Dream was the 4th dress shop I had been to after no luck. The individual appointment and undivided attention helped guide me in picking my dream dress! Melinda took into account all the things I liked or didn't like about dresses I put on and was always smiling. After trying on THE dress, Melinda bedazzled me up and made me feel so beautiful. Highly recommend for any bride who is struggling to describe what she wants.Your Dream Bridal's reply:
Awe! Thanks Anne Marie. It was awesome to meet you and help you find your dream dress. I am so happy for you!!! I can't wait to see your pictures on the big day. xoxo -

Oh my goodness, I cannot say enough lovely things about Malinda and her wonderful shop. I never expected to step foot into a bridal boutique. I really dislike shopping in general, so the idea of wedding dress shopping was super daunting. I didn’t feel like I fit into the typical bride mold, and was having a really difficult time finding anything i’d even consider wearing, let alone love. And, I was on a tight budget. I had been to BHLDN, I had been to Vows, I just wasn’t finding THE ONE. I happened to meet Malinda at a wedding expo that a friend put together. I told her about my struggle to find the right dress, and about my budget concerns. I described in general what I was looking for. She immediately whipped out her iPad and pulled up a picture of a Truvelle dress. It was like magic when I saw it, I felt like THIS COULD BE THE ONE! She had it leftover from a sample sale, so I booked an appointment with her the next weekend to try it on. I felt at ease with Malinda in her shop. It was cozy and quiet and I didn’t feel any of the pressure that I had felt in some other places. Malinda is just so cool and chill, it was a fun experience all around. I tried on a few other dresses, but it was love at first sight with the Truvelle dress. I went home with it that day, and the rest is history. Thank you Malinda! -

Amanda Sent on 08/24/2019Good experience
Bought my wedding dress here. Pretty good experience, I gave Malinda my budget which was definitely on the low end of what she had in store but she was still able to find a bunch of dress options for me which I really appreciated. The store was very cute. Good experience, she wasn't pushy or salesy which I liked. My only negative review was that I think the dress measurements were too big for me. I know they always order larger sizes for wedding dresses than in regular clothes however the dress was too big in every part of my body, the alterations were very expensive because it had to be taken in literally everywhere, it would've been better to get a smaller size in my opinion. At the end of the day I loved my dress and had a great time at the store trying on dresses. Malinda was very respectful and very responsive- definitely recommended. -

I had a wonderful experience at Your Dream Bridal. Malinda was very systematic and helped me to first decide whether I wanted a fitted or flowy dress and then helped me to narrow it down further from there. The selection of dresses was gorgeous and I ended up ordering a dress that was a combo of my favorite parts of a few different dresses. -

I highly recommend Your Dream Bridal for any bride looking for their perfect dress! Malinda's expertise and guidance throughout the process made it easy for me to narrow down the choices. I also loved that neither myself (or my bridal party) felt rushed at the appointment since it was such a personalized consultation.
Aaron and I had our wedding on June 14 and the dress was absolutely perfect! The flowing Martina Liana gown looked absolutely stunning at our venue in Newport. More importantly, it felt so comfortable! -

I highly recommend Dream Bridal! Shopping here for my wedding dress was one of the best decisions I made this year. Malinda’s warm spirit makes you feel comfortable and confident as soon as you walk through the door. Her one on one attention makes shopping for a wedding dress like shopping with friend. She’s got a real talent for honing in on exactly what you want even if it’s entirely different than what you had originally envisioned. Not only was she welcoming but I found her to be very knowledgeable on all things wedding. She was extremely understanding at the end of the appointment when instead of buying a dress immediately I wanted to continue to think about it. I never felt pressured to purchase anything I didn’t want and she worked hard to make sure I stayed within my budget. When it came time for me to purchase the dress I fell in love with, i discovered the card I wanted to pay with had been stolen. She was patient with me as I moved money around, and even allowed me to split up my payments. Malinda provides an inviting non judgmental environment with absolutely beautiful dresses. I cannot express enough my gratitude to Malinda for making this experience so easy and fun.
