After very little shopping beforehand, I walked in, saw the dress, tried it on, and that was it. They did a nice job cutting down the floor model and offering a lower price. The owner has a wonderful eye and picked a veil I never would have considered (long, formal), and made a fascinator for me out of the dress hem. They also saved the remainder of the hem for me to wrap my bouquet in, without me asking.

The owner and staff are extremely helpful and friendly! They have very unique, well made gowns that are nothing short of stunning! I just purchased a wedding dress and my mom found her mother of the bride dress here. Highly recommend!

If I could recommend this place to every woman getting married I so would! I walked in there with a vision in my head that I would love the mermaid style dress. Well when I tried it on I looked absolutely disgusting! The owner said, I have the perfect dress for you, she pulled it out held it up to me and I instantly fell in love. I ordered it that day! I didn't feel judged, rushed or anything at all!
I just got my dress in this week and I've lost weight, so the dress is a little lose in areas, but not a worry in the world because she knows what she is doing and talking about! Highly, highly recommend this dress place!

If I could give negative stars I would. This place is full of judgmental people. My mother (a successful business women) went in looking for a mother of a bride dress. She kindly went in and ask if she needed an appointment to shop. The girl working said no. Then after 5 minutes the owner walked out and said (after looking at her up and down) that she does need an appointment. It was apparent that the owner judged my mom and thought due to her appearance she could not afford the dresses. We will not be back and I am embarrassed for their behavior.

Safe to say I will never go back to this store again. The owner judged me right off the bat when I walked in. Immediately she tells me she does not have anything in my age group. and then proceeds to ask me what my age was when I told her I saw some dresses online that I'd like to try on. She then told me she thought I was 15. when I walk into a store I do not expect to be insulted. I am 28 years old, married, and looking for a formal dress for my sisters wedding.
I am a paying customer, but clearly they did not want my money. I did not appreciate her judgement. To top it off, I emailed the store a few days prior asking if they had a particular dress at the store. I sent them a picture of the dress as well. She emailed me back saying she did not. When I walked in there it was on a mannequin in the window. Clearly they do not know their inventory. I do regret even giving the store a chance. I should have walked out immediately when I was judged. I do not recommend this place to anyone.
