I was very disappointed with my experience at Mimi's. The store advertises having the largest…read moreselection of Mother of the Bride dresses in the St. Louis area, which is the main reason we drove two hours for an appointment. Unfortunately, the selection was much smaller than we expected. What was even more frustrating was that the consultant did not seem to listen to what we were looking for. We specifically requested light blue dresses and no lace, yet she repeatedly brought navy, silver, several other colors and lace that we had already said we were not interested in. It felt like our preferences were being ignored entirely. The customer service was also lacking. While trying on dresses, she would simply toss the next dress into the fitting room while I was still changing. When I finally had a dress to on, she was unable to zip it- stating she broke her hand over a year ago and thankfully the family members who came with me were able to help. Because of the poor service and limited selection, we ended our appointment early and called another store, which thankfully was able to fit us in the same day. After driving two hours based on Mimi's advertising, the experience was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend Mimi's to anyone shopping for a Mother of the Bride dress. The selection did not match the advertising, and the customer service fell far below expectations

I love Mimi's bridal!! I bought my dress here for my wedding in August 2022 and was so impressed…read more My sister also bought her dress at Mimi's for her upcoming September wedding and we had the same amazing experience. After my experience this was the only place my sister wanted to go and was so happy it was the only place she needed to go! Today, I went back a third time with my mom to find her a dress for my sister's wedding and once again we loved it! They have so many options to choose from for brides and moms! My mom has trouble finding dresses that flatter her and we were impressed with the different styles they had. Mimi herself was actually the one that helped us today and she is so friendly and her expertise does not go unnoticed. I highly recommend Mimi's for all bridal needs. They have accessories and "mini" dresses as well!

Did not end up buying my dress here. I want to be clear - my stylist was very friendly and we had…read moreno issues with her. However I clearly stated my vision and I just don't feel like it was executed. We visited two additional bridal shops and the entire visit was like night and day. I found my dress elsewhere because I felt 100x more comfortable at the other places. While we were trying on dresses, another bride was at the counter. She was nervous and upset because her wedding was in 4 weeks and her dress hadn't even arrived yet. That is scary on its own. The manager was literally yelling at the bride and we could hear everything. It was SUPER unprofessional. Our stylist even apologized... the bride said to us "do not buy here". We listened to her, obviously we do not want to go through that if we have issues too. The bride was in a crunch and literally showed up at our next appointment - she bought a different dress at the other shop. Like I mentioned - our stylist was friendly, but I don't even remember her name. We didn't connect. I felt comfortable at the other places and got to know the stylists and had conversations with them.

My sales associate, Terra immediately put me at ease. She listened to me and was really attentive.

Lafayette square is the perfect neighborhood for this store. Every part of the experience from the music on in the background to the setup of the store felt incredibly thoughtful. Their pricing range is reasonable and they carry veils and accessories as well!

Enchanted Bride is super close to my work. I dropped by without appointment on a weekday evening…read more The shop was fairly small, but empty on this evening. You could browse through the selections quickly. The service was impeccable. The lady helping me was very friendly and tiredless-ly helped me get in and out of at least 8 dresses that I pulled out. Some things to note: they don't let you take photos. This is pretty common in boutiques, something to do with agreements with the designers. Personally, I find it hard to not have pictures to compare with other dresses that I've tried on, but this is nothing against the shop itself. The price point is mid-high range for wedding dress, starting at just below $1K to a few grand. After that day, I received two hand-written notes from the shop reminding me to stop by anytime if I haven't found anything. In the end, I found my dress elsewhere, but I do recommend Enchanted Bride for other ladies still shopping.

I fell in love with the very first dress and had to go back a second time to try it on again. They saw the excitement in my face (through my mask, because of COVID) and decided to name the dress after me!! Their prices are amazing, and fair as their dresses are handmade and produced in the US.

The reviews online were subpar, so I remained hopeful, but with low expectations. I got a little lost trying to get there, but I finally arrive and the parking lot only had one car. The place seemed massive and this lovely woman named Beth greeted me when I got to the door. She had a mask on the whole time and there was no one else there - my kind of wedding dress shopping experience! Beth had pulled some dresses based on my survey and she really did a great job! She was kind and gave me some feedback after I said how I liked the dress. I haven't made any decisions, but one dress Beth pulled for me is a serious contender.

David's Bridal was the first store I went to try on dresses at for my wedding since I thought it…read morewould be a good baseline, I did not expect to fall in love with any dresses or anything. Well of course I did, I loved the first dress I tried on. I tried on about 6 or 7 dresses to make sure I liked the silhouette. Then I went to three other local bridal boutiques around St. Louis and while I was impressed with a few dresses at those stores, I can't afford a $3,000 dress. I went back to David's and tried on the first dress and it was just amazing all over again. The staff was friendly, but busy. I see other reviews bashing them for having multiple appointments at once but I don't think that's the staff's fault. If they're understaffed, they're understaffed. Everyone is right now and I think people should show a bit more grace and understanding about that. Even though my associate was busy, she was polite, helpful, and attentive. I wish I had gotten her name. I didn't get the name of the lady who helped me the first time either. They respected my budget and helped me find my perfect dress, and had lots of options. Definitely going back for bridesmaid dresses!

Granted, all eyes will be on the bride, but I still wanted something pretty and sophisticated to wear to the event, without breaking the bank. After all, I am a senior on a fixed budget. A friend recommended David's for a great deal on clearance dresses. I was somewhat skeptical, but decided to try it. So glad that I did. I arrived on a busy Saturday afternoon, explained what I was looking for. The young lady (I wish I had gotten her name) was incredibly helpful and attentive, as if I were buying a $$$ wedding ensemble. I found a fabulous dress for less than $100.00, perfect fit, no alterations required. Now, I am off to find the perfect shoes. P.S. best part of all...a size 6!!!

My girlfriend and I had a great experience shopping for dresses at Berrybridge…read more The mother and daughter team was very friendly and efficient. They pulled out styles they think may look good on me and also let me browse to find things on my own. I didn't find them pushy either. The show room is not big but they have exquisite collections. If you always wanted a Carolina Herrera or a Vera Wang, you definitely should stop by here. Check their websites for trunk show dates. They offer a small discount (I believe it was 15%) on dresses from that brand on the trunk show weekend. It's a size-able chunk of change when you are dropping upwards of $3K+ on a designer dress.

They carry some great brands and are the only boutique that I could find in St Louis that carries Adele Wechsler gowns, which is an eco-friendly couture brand that I was specifically looking for. They are very flexible when it comes to schedule - I had to travel in each time I visited since I live in Phoenix and they were very accommodating with schedule. They also provide in-house alterations. The store is lovely, especially the show room. I'd highly recommend a trip to Berrybridge if you're shopping for your gown.

As soon as I walked in Paulette greeted me with warmth, I immediately felt like I was in good hands.

I tried it on and immediately Paulette confirmed this was the dress. I'm not much of a shopper, so I trusted her and purchased the dress. Yesterday I went to my alterations person and when she saw the dress, she was so complimentary. She went on and on about how beautiful my dress is and I could tell her words were genuine. I'm excited for my son's wedding and now I know I will feel confident in my attire! Thank you, Paulette, for being genuinely interested in helping me find a spectacular dress!

The dress arrived in less than a week! It was exactly what I had been looking for and Paulette even suggested trying the royal blue gown as well. Both gowns were perfect for a wedding in Greece. Paulette gave me such a good deal I bought them both. I will definitely be back and will recommend Special Occasions and Paulette to any family and friends in need of a dress.
