I came here, looking for a veil only. Originally, they were not even going to let me try on my dress with the veil because I did not purchase my dress there. We tried to be understanding, but there was literally nobody else in the store that could've possibly seen my dress. We even asked if we could just try it on in the fitting room so that no other customers would be able to see it if they came in. The girl working went and asked the owner and she made an exception, Which we were very grateful for. But then my veil was ordered wrong:( I was very in love with one veil, but the length of another. They told me since it was the same designer they could basically combine the two. We double triple quadruple checked and they reassured us. It was possible. I even checked over text message, They reassured me again. It would be correct. My veil showed up indeed, NOT correct. They didn't really take responsibility. They blamed the website for the error. I kind of expected since it was a designer for them to call or message the designer directly, to be entirely positive since I was told it had never been done before. The only options to fix it that were given to me, were basically to receive a refund, take the incorrect veil home or purchase a new one. No discount was offered. No compensation. Mind you, I waited 4 weeks for my veil which I know is awesome turn around time. BUT I did let them know that my wedding was very soon, and they assured me the correct veil would arrive in time. Now I am practically out of time, with no veil. Again, the store is very pretty from what I saw, they have beautiful dress dresses. But I am a little annoyed at their lack of accountability and problem-solving.

We got to the appointment early and asked to look at the selection - there wasn't a good selection for me. Everything was 5x sizes too big & not a lot of dresses to pick from. We told her after seeing the selection - we weren't interested in trying anything on and we wanted to cancel our appointment. She asked to see my dress inspo, so when I showed her the dress I wanted, she laughed and told me that the store had "invented" that dress, but had to make changes to it. In my mind, you don't have to make changes to a dress you invented - you have to make changes to a dress that you copycat so you don't get in trouble from the original designer. After all of this, she told us we would still have to pay a $50 fee even though we showed up an hour early, and weren't interested in anything. Mind you, there was no one in the store other than us. I have never written a yelp review before, but this interaction put a bad taste in my mouth & tainted what was supposed to be a good experience. I would recommend going somewhere else if you are wanting a better selection and service.

LOVED my experience here. Kennan was so fun to work with and so incredibly patient, too! I've been…read moreto some other bridal shops before, and while none of them have been terrible, this was probably my favorite experience. First of all, I called at maybe 3:30 on a Saturday to see if I could just come in and look around. They told me they had availability at 4pm. They closed at 5pm, but I had no idea until it was well past 5 and I asked them what time they closed. They did not rush me at all! I was a little back and forth on my top dress. Plus my mom wasn't there, and she wouldn't let me commit to it without her there. They were totally understanding and let me schedule another tentative appointment that next Monday. (They even let me FaceTime my mom and take pics of the dresses I had on). When Monday morning hit, my mom wanted me to try on some other options, so we hit another shop before going back to The Bride's Shop. I found a dress I absolutely fell in love with, but wanted to try on that first dress again just to be sure I could commit. Before we could even head back to the Bride's Shop, they called me and asked if I wanted to come back in, and had the dress ready to go when I got there! My mom, however, spotted the same dress I fell in love with at the first store, and they let me hop from one dress to the other as many times as I wanted in order to decide. Kennan was so patient and helpful! She put multiple different accessories on me so I could get the full effect. I would highly recommend going to the Bride's Shop!

In December of 2006, my boyfriend of 8 months proposed to me on Christmas Eve. I can't say I didn't…read moresee it coming: we had been discussing marriage for the past 5 months, and I had already been semi-planning the wedding secretly. I was just waiting for the ring like a racehorse waits for gunfire. Now I could finally contact my chosen vendors and taste some cake. The problem was that I had been looking for months for a wedding dress that would satisfy the desires of both my inner child, with her fairy-tale inspired princess-dress dreams, and at the same time my current, more refined fashion appetite that channeled such icons as audrey, jackie, every Prada thing ever made. Further, I wanted to find a modest dress that I could wear to get sealed in a Temple, which is believed by my church to be a highly sacred House of God for those non-Mormon's out there. Well, after much searching I had at least made some solid decisions: No sequence, pearls, lace, or any embellishments. I wanted to focus on the quality of the fabric, lines, and construction of the dress, and I didn't want the integrity of these key elements to be compromised by gaudiness. I wanted pure silk. I wanted beautiful ruching. I wanted mermaid style, old hollywood elegance. And I wanted it all under $3,000. Preferably under $2,000. That's where Penny, the dressmaker behind "Penelope's" came in. She was referred to me by the same highly trusted source who recommended my photographer. Going to see Penny for the first time, I felt like I was Cinderella going to her fairy godmother with a pumpkin and some rats. I was sure I would get laughed at for my unrealistic desires, and talked into a standard, boring, mormon cut-out of a dress (read: t-shirt style short-sleeved top, puffy A-line skirt. Buttons down back. Long veil.) I was all but shaking. But that was not the case! Penny listened and took notes, and even presented me with a book of silk samples to choose from. She sketched out the dress with my direction, and then quoted me a price that almost took the wind out of me. I wanted to shout from the rooftops- "The Church is True!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Also, a Mormon reference. Sorry.) And so my perfect dress was constructed. The end.

Penny is very talented and will go any direction you'd like. I got soooooo many compliments on my dress. Everyone said it was so "me." Her pricing is quite reasonable. This sounds like a dream come true, right?! Just make sure you schedule pretty far out. I wasn't so on top of things, but got married in November, the slow season, which is why she was able to fit me in. I highly recommend Penelope's for a custom made gown.

If they don't have the style you want they can order it for you. They have a large selection of bridesmaids dresses, but not that many different styles. Our stylist was on the high pressure side of the appointment, and was constantly complaining about her boss.

Tl;dr - great selection, dress came DAYS before my wedding, wasn't what was promised, awful…read morecommunication. The one lesson I have learned from this is to always read the Yelp reviews. We went to Offwhite bc they had an available appt time at short notice when some friends of mine came into town. They had a beautiful selection and the associate that helped me (young, short brown hair) was awesome. Followed my lead and feedback, showed me how we could make dresses work, explained the process to me, was accommodating of family on FT. Just great. Loved her and found a few dresses I really loved. Came back a couple weeks later with my parents and sister and was helped with a very different associate (older, blonde). She was rude and disrespectful, and made a lot of unkind comments about members of the Church (of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), mostly about modesty, knowing that I am a member looking to buy and alter one of their dresses to be modest. She also opened the curtain on me while I was undressed bc she never gave me the next dress to try on. Despite her rude comments and super pushy attitude (her opinion is more important than mine I guess???), we bought one of the dresses bc I fell in love and the other associate had assured us that they could change the neckline easily in production. The older lady drew up something that resembled what we described for the neckline and we trusted her and ordered the dress. This was in November. Both associates told us the dress would be here before April (wedding on the 28th). There was almost no communication so I kept calling and asking, they always said the same thing up until the last week of March. April 7th I texted and asked for an update.... "It will be finished this weekend and shipped next week" "shipping time?" "5-7 days" so now we are looking at April 14th or 15th at the earliest??? No more contact until my mom shows up at the shop last week. "We're expecting it next week, Monday or Tuesday, unless it gets stuck in customs but I have a good feeling it will come Monday". Today is Wednesday, I texted yesterday and got no response. I'm getting married in a week and have no dress or idea of what my dress even looks like. Maybe it is pretty, maybe not. Maybe it fits, maybe not. I guess we'll find out? Maybe Okay I wrote this before I got the dress. It's been months now and I'm still upset so I decided this is worthy to post. The dress came a few days before my wedding and I was commuting back and forth from Provo all week (finals week mind you) for fittings. The neckline was not what I'd ordered (probably because the lady measuring me for the modest neckline had no respect for my religion or desire to have a modest neckline), the sleeves were ridiculously too tight, the pearl buttons were less than on the original and on the wrong side of the sleeves, and the whole upper half of the dress was the WRONG FABRIC. They admitted to the other mistakes but never to that. "We don't have any dresses in duchess satin, the original dress was in crepe like this one" why won't you show me the original then? Is it really out for a show "I think" for a whole 5 days? Why is this dress ivory and not bright white? We had a whole conversation about the color and fabric when I tried it in and that was a HUGE part of my decision to buy it. I'd never even heard of duchess satin till I tried it on, and both my mom and I could feel and see the difference. Additionally, when they did all of the work to make the sleeves go over my shoulders, the whole dress slid up a few inches for a much less flattering fit on my waist. They kept trying to convince me to take a brawler or something "for my trouble" but I didn't bite. When negotiating the owner tried to manipulate us into giving in by crying and talking about her home life, admitted the low price SHE paid for the dress, thinking maybe she was charging us less? And tried to make is seem like a discount that they weren't charging us for the alterations cause, you know, I "gained weight" (but exclusively in my arms). I had actually lost weight since my fitting the day after Thanksgiving. Anyways, we got a 20% discount after long negotiations that included my dad agreeing to take 10% off if they would show us the original dress and prove it was the same fabric, 30% if they turned out to be wrong. She didn't like that idea. The dress is still beautiful, just not what I ordered, and a pain in the butt to adjust all day for my neckline. Bless my photographer Mikayla Moorhouse for her editing skills to make the ivory less apparent.
