What a nightmare this experience has been. They do not allow you to look at anything that is "out…read moreof your price range". Kind of insulting. A budget can change depending on circumstances, which mine did. I saw a dress that I really liked, tried it on, and my maid of honor snuck a photo bc it wasn't allowed ( which we found to be very strange )and I am so glad she did!! The photo she took looked like a TOTALLY different dress then the one I picked up 6 months later. The owner measured me and my receipt stated I was 27 1/4 inch's around the waist, which would put me in a size 6 according to the manufacture's size chart. When the dress came in, everyone in the world could tell it was WAY too small. I couldn't bend over, could hardly get the dress zipped up. If I made any wrong move my straps could break. I was so upset at how it looked I wanted to cry. It looked like a totally different dress. All the owner kept saying was that it looked beautiful on me and fit me like a glove BUT I needed to loose a little weight and get some spanks. I showed this picture of me in the dress she ordered me to literally everyone I know and everyone couldn't believe it was the same dress and could tell it was WAY too small. I had myself professionally measured at another boutique after this because it didn't make sense. I was measured 29 1/2 in the waist. Almost 3 inches bigger. (I'm 122 pounds and my weight wasn't fluctuated more then 2 pounds for over 5 years.) This means according to the size chart on the dress company website, I should have had a SIZE 8. Not 4, not 6. She refuses to give me my money back. When I confronted her with the measurement from the other bridal boutique, she stated by email that there was no way she measured me at 27 1/4 yet that is what the receipt says and that is what size dress she ordered. If she would just taken accountability for the mistake and reimburse me so I can purchase another dress, I wouldn't be nearly as upset and stressed right before my wedding. I am in the middle of hiring attorney, and I will get my money back eventually. I expected so much more from a high priced boutique in Birmingham. I am know scrambling to pick up extra shifts as a nurse at the hospital to earn money for a new dress. I never picked up the dress and never want to step foot into that boutique again. How can someone lie right to someone's face and have no guilt what so ever? Absolutely do NOT trust them. LASTLY, telling someone they need to loose weight who is only 122 lbs to start with In order to fit into a $4,000 wedding dress that they already paid for IS ALL KINDS OF WRONG. DO NOT GO HERE!!

Went here on a whim. I am glad I did…read more This is the 3rd bridal salon I searched at, and the experience is SO different than anywhere else! If you want attention, you'll get it here! They sit you down as ask, "What does your dream dress look like?" Guess what, they can make that happen! They are typically appointment only, but someone cancelled on that snowy Saturday I stopped in and I lucked out. The ladies that work there are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Their selection is divine...everything is beautiful. BEWARE: if your budget is 1500, you might find something on the minuscule sale rack, but that's it. Dresses start at 2K and up because they are made with excellent quality materials. Being on the bigger end of regular sizing, there was very little I could try on, but they did their best to shimmy me into smaller sizes so I could at least see if I liked it. I sort of fell in love with a dress made with Chantilly lace, but it was 1K over my budget. Perhaps it was my dream dress, but I had to walk away because of price. If you can afford it, go to Antonio's...your dreams will come true!

I have been waiting to write a review for LBR, as I was hoping the store and its owner Maria would…read moreresolve the issues that they caused for me, or at least refund me for the ridiculous amount they charged me for alterations that did not even happen. However, after an extremely stressful week, I find myself feeling taken advantage of, dismissed and deceived. WARNING TO ALL: Save yourself from the stress and overcharges this "business" creates. I bought my reception dress from LBR in 3/2021 for my wedding in 9/2021. The sales woman who initially helped me seemed friendly and great, and I felt confident buying a dress from this store. However, that was the last time anyone was friendly to me there, and the last time I felt confident with the store. My dress arrived and I was scheduled for a fitting in 8/2021. I went in for my fitting, was literally rushed to the back of their store by a seamstress telling me to "hurry" because she had another appointment at the store next door. Mind you, I was EARLY for my own scheduled appt. She rushed me into the dress, didn't even let me strap my shoes on and then pulled me onto the stand to begin alterations. I asked her continuously to make specific alterations and she waved her hand at me and said 'yes yes I know what I'm doing'. My MOH was with me, and works in fashion herself, and pointed out several mistakes the seamstress was making but was completely ignored. Not even 5 minutes later, she told me to take off the dress because she had to leave. There was no air conditioning in the store and I was already feeling shaky, and the last thing I needed was to be pushed into a tiny dressing room. I changed and came out and was told alterations would be nearly a thousand dollars. I was shocked, and questioned this but she became loud with me and stated she knew what she was doing and this is what the price would be. I didn't question this again - because, I mean, she's the professional right? So I paid and I scheduled my next fitting to be for the first week of September. A week before my fitting, I received a call from Maria. She told me that her staff quit and I would not be able to pick my dress up from the store, or even go to the store for a fitting. She said my options were to drive to the seamstress's house (which is nearly an hour and a half away from where I live... whereas the store was only ten minutes), she would credit my "gas expense" for the drive; or she would "uber" my dress to me.... I'm sorry, WHAT?! After thousands and thousands of dollars spent, I was essentially being told 'tough luck, there's nothing more we can do for you'. I eventually was able to have the seamstress take my dress to the store next door because that is where I bought my ceremony dress. I was guaranteed by Maria that the specific design/cut of my dress was "easy to alter" and there would be no issues when I received it. Well, other than the train being shortened, IT WAS HORRENDOUS. There were piles of extra fabric at the sides, which made it seem like the seamstress had just clumped a bunch of fabric together to "alter" it. I ended up having to pay this other store for their alterations team to fix this mess of a dress. So here I am, two weeks before my wedding, having spent not just thousands on a dress, but an additional thousand on alterations that didn't even happen, and apparently can not happen because the store no longer exists. Maria refused to refund me for the alterations I had paid for, and does not even seem to care about the unnecessary yet enormous amount of stress she has placed on me, and I can imagine dozen of other brides who they have closed their doors on, literally, with little to no compassion or empathy.

To address some of the negative reviews, the inventory is definitely quality over quantity, but I can't stress QUALITY enough. I felt a bit overwhelmed at some of the stores I went to so I liked that, at Bridal Couture, I had time to look at, and try on, every dress I was interested in. I also really liked that I got to pick the dresses I wanted to try on, though they did make helpful recommendations. I have been into the store probably 10 times at this point. I have NEVER felt rushed and I am shocked to see reviews that someone was made to feel bad about their body. That employee must have been fired long ago because at this point, I've probably met everyone who works there and every single person has been so caring and encouraging.
