I would definitely recommend Michelle's for finding your wedding dress! Love the set up and the people were all great! Kate helped us and she was very helpful and kind! She even stayed late so I could come back to try it on one more time and make my decision! They have a great selection of dresses! I tried on dresses at multiple other places and this was by far my favorite place and favorite dress options! So excited to wear my dress!

Michelle's is amazing! After booking an appointment I filled out an online survey and added my Pinterest so my consultant knew what type of dress I was looking for. After filling out the survey I got to have a phone call to talk a little more in detail with my consultant about what I liked and disliked, which was super help for her to have things pulled for me when I arrived to my appointment. Kate made the experience so much fun and was so helpful in helping me make a decision! Thank you for everything Kate!

I went to Michelle's for my wedding dress, unsure of what I was looking for and pretty indecisive. The stylists had a few dresses ready for me to try (with the first being the one I ended up with!) and guided me using my feedback. I felt so comfortable and supported with Melinda - it felt like she knew better than I did what I wanted, but never like she was pushing me towards anything in particular. I also got my veil from Michelle's which was absolutely stunning and one of my favorite parts. I 100% recommend Michelle's!
