The Bustle had to be on your list for wedding dress shopping! Their staff is awesome and so sweet! They do a great job of listening to your vision and bringing you options that fit that vision, as well as your price range. They have such a large selection and the variety is perfect for those brides that arent quite sure what they're looking for. Exceptional wedding dress shop that I would HIGHLY recommend!

Amazing Experience

I had an absolutely amazing experience at The Bustle. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel comfortable and special from the moment I walked in (extra thank you to Paytin!). From the champagne, to the cute desserts, and their expertise and genuine enthusiasm for helping me find the perfect dress, The Bustle is truly exceptional. The boutique boasts a diverse and beautiful selection of gowns, each more stunning than the last, making the decision-making process a delightful and unforgettable experience.

Great experience!

I'm very happy to have worked with The Bustle to find my wedding dress. They helped me pick out the perfect dress, and I continued to work with them for alterations and accessories. They were really easy to communicate with and well organized. The dress was beautiful and fit perfect!
