![]() ![]() I showed her some photos I had saved and we looked through the racks of dresses while I pointed out what I liked. She introduced herself to me and my group, asked questions about my fiance, our wedding and the vibe we were going for. Nkeoma was my stylist and she was amazing. And they each have their own large mirror so you have complete privacy. The rooms are big enough to fit your group of 3-5 people. I brought along my mother and sister with me and we were placed in one of the rooms. The boutique is intimate, beautiful and smells wonderful. Lovely Bride was the first bridal salon on my list for wedding gown shopping. She is a total delight and I am so deeply grateful for meeting her and working with her. If you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend going to Lovely Bride and working with Annie. She also helped reintroduce me to a conversation about body image within the wedding industry and reassured me that there is space for all bodies. Ultimately, Annie helped me to find a wedding gown that I feel confident and beautiful in. And let me tell you, she lived up to that standard.Īfter pulling a gown after gown that I had on my list, and not finding "the one," Annie suggested I try one more - just one more a little outside the box of what I was expected. Annie reassured me that that prior experience was not what we were going to do, that there was no space for that in her appointment (or really any bridal appointment) and that she would make it her job to ensure I felt confident and beautiful in a gown. She changed my entire experience with finding a wedding gown. ![]() Then I met Annie, my bridal consultant at Lovely Bride. Previously, I visited another bridal salon where I was told my body measurements were disproportionate and therefore finding a wedding dress, or really any dress, would be extremely difficult. This past weekend I went to Lovely Bride with my mom and sister. I would highly recommend you try Lovely Bride for wedding dress shopping!! Sent on The dress arrived right on time with what they estimated and was packaged neatly. But once you’re ready to find the right one and make a decision, this store is perfect. I would say that Lovely Bride will be most useful for you if you’ve had a few appointments already and sort of know your preferences, it is not an ideal place for trying on a ton of different options as a first pass. ![]() The process was easy and relaxed, not rushed, and felt very personalized and private. She was so incredibly good at asking specific questions to find out what components of the dress were working and not working, and the dress I ultimately picked combined so many little elements that I loved. We had Theresa as our consultant, and she got us closer and closer to a winner with every dress. I LOVED dress shopping at Lovely Bride and purchased a gorgeous dress here! I really liked how this store doesn’t overload you with a million options. I'll also add that the wedding dresses were half the cost of the dresses we had seen elsewhere. When we returned, she had been placed with another bride but was so sweet and made sure to stop by and congratulate us! Overall, I highly recommend shopping at Lovely Bride (especially with Jess). The first boutique we went to made us feel pressured to making a decision right away, but Jess was able to book us an appointment on the same day for a few hours later so we could leave, have lunch and discuss. Jess felt less like a saleswoman and more like a friend who wanted me to make my own decision, but gave just the right amount of advice. I felt even more uncomfortable since I didn't feel beautiful and knew they were just trying to make a sale. At my previous appointment, I felt very uncomfortable with many of the sales associates surrounding me telling me how great I looked in a very sales-y and unauthentic way. She gave just enough input, but didn't force her opinions. Jess made the entire process amazing!! She completely understood my style, but also allowed me to try on dresses I might not have chosen so that I could rule them out. However, as soon as the sales associate, Jess, took us back to the area I'd try on the dresses I felt comfortable. There were a ton of women waiting and it didn't seem like I'd get a private experience (I'd only had one other appointment where the small store closed for my appointment). I found my wedding dress yesterday at Lovely Bride and had such an amazing experience! When I first walked in, I'll be honest, it was a little intimidating. ![]()
