bhldn brides!!

Hey! I'm an ~almost~ BHLDN bride haha

When I started looking at wedding dresses I was 110% sure I would go with a BHLDN dress. They have some beautiful dresses and like you said, all a great price! I also love how they have everything in stock. I went to the Chicago store to try them on, and I thought I decided on a dress but when I received it in the mail, the fit was all off (thank GOD for their return policy lol). I returned that dress and ordered my second favorite dress and again, when I got it I did not like the fit. I ended up going to several other dress stores and decided on a dress from a completely different designer that I LOVE.

This was just my own experience with BHLDN, and I'm still obsessed with their instagram and dresses. I got all of my bridesmaids dresses from there! However, I would highly recommend ordering the dress in your size to see how it fits! And keep a super open mind!

Here's my BHLDN dress! It's the Harlow from last year. I paid $1600 and I think it's down to like $300 now I do love BHLDN!

View Quoted Comment That’s the plan, thankfully I live close enough to the Ct store to go up there and try them on, I’m so excited but a little nervous since it’s not the traditional David’s bridal kind of shop 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you for sharing w me 🖤🖤🖤

View Quoted Comment My goodness you look gorgeous!! I love all the lace on that dress, did you have any trouble with fit or condition when they shipped it to you??

View Quoted Comment Oh the fit was pretty bad, it had to be altered quite a bit. But that’s normal with wedding dresses, especially mermaid/trumpet ones. It was in pristine condition when it arrived. If it fit, I could’ve worn it the next day.

And thank you!!! I’m still so obsessed with my dress

Oh okay gotcha. Thank you for answering my questions hun!! I really appreciate it, I love their gowns just a little nervous going into it

Although I ultimately did not get my dress at BHLDN, I absolutely love their dresses and vibe! I actually visited the Westport bridal salon twice. It’s in the Anthropology store which is different but didn’t take away from the experience since they have their own dedicated area. I had a different consultant each time and both were so awesome! They allow you to look at the racks and pick out dresses to try on initially and then will pull additional dresses based on your feedback. They were very good about keeping the focus on how the bride feels and communicating that prior to everyone else jumping in with their feelings. Im horribly indecisive and they were very patient with me.

I got the Kenna Tadashi Shoji gown that I bought online, sizing chart was helpful. Minor alterations--cups, took the sides in, bustle.
Make an appointment-- the one in NYC doesn't let you just casually browse but maybe it's known. I literally took the plunge and bought online since it was the one.
So affordable, memorable and lovely. My husband loved it.

View Quoted Comment OP: Hi! I’m definitely considering a BHLDN dress as well. I love their look & price but I can’t make any reviews as I have not tried on or ordered anything from them yet.

Jeanelle: where is your fur-like jacket from? I’m obsessed!

Here it is! 35 bucks!

Update you guys!! I went to the BHLDN store and fell in love with the Heritage Gown. It’s so beautiful and has a cute hint of color in the skirt. My experience was great! My dress came in the mail today and it arrived in great shape, and fit really well. Definitely would recommend it!

I just bought the Arbor gown. Not totally sure if it’s officially in stores yet, they had it available at the Watters trunk show. It’s super cool! I loved BHLDN!
