I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Bridals by Lori. From the moment I walked in, I was met with the most incredible energy and support from Darian, the manager, along with Ashley, Janae, and Lauren. They were truly a hype squad in the best way. Atlanta traffic can be a doozy, and I arrived about 30 minutes late to my appointment. Not only did they still graciously fit me in, but they immediately made me feel welcomed, calm, and celebrated with absolutely no stress or judgment. From the moment I opened the door until they walked me downstairs to the outlet section, I felt so genuinely cared for. After explaining my vision and timeline, they completely understood what I was looking for. They pulled gowns that aligned perfectly with my ideas and then built upon them. We realized that ordering a gown from upstairs would not work within my timeframe, so they seamlessly pivoted and helped create multiple beautiful looks using their outlet selection. I tried on so many stunning dresses, and the care, honesty, and enthusiasm they brought to each one made the experience feel truly special. What stood out most was how far they went to make sure I felt supported. They stayed later than they had to on a Friday evening while closing, never once making me feel rushed. I came to this appointment solo without my bridal squad, and yet I never felt alone. If you are looking for a previous sample at a discount, their outlet is absolutely worth checking out, and I am sure their made to order gowns upstairs are just as stunning. If you are in a time crunch, I cannot recommend their in store samples enough, especially with seamstresses on staff who truly know how to make each dress work beautifully and efficiently. While I ultimately found my dress the next day somewhere else, I cannot stop thinking about how positive, thoughtful, and memorable this experience was. If you want a bridal salon that truly listens, is honest, understands your vision, and treats you like you matter, this is the perfect stop. read more

This was one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. My son skipped the 11th grade and is attending his senior prom this year. The theme is "Enchanted Garden," and we hoped to find something unique, specifically a green velvet tuxedo jacket. Because our timeline was short, I called shops all over the metro Atlanta area trying to locate one. After numerous calls and searches, Black Tie by Lori was the only place that seemed remotely possible. The next day my son and I drove from Acworth to visit the shop. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming. Janae helped us first and she was wonderful. Darion also stepped in, and together they went above and beyond anything we expected. After seeing our inspiration photo, Janae became excited about helping us create the look. Darion began researching whether a green velvet jacket could be found. At first it appeared unavailable, but he kept looking until he located a green velvet jacket with a black satin peak lapel. He even contacted the manufacturer directly and confirmed that one was available in their warehouse. They called us the very next morning, we placed the order, and when we picked it up the jacket fit perfectly. What we thought would be renting a black tuxedo turned into owning the perfect green velvet jacket for prom. Even while assisting another customer who needed several fittings and a lot of attention, Janae and Darion still made us feel like we had their full focus. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and care made the entire experience memorable. Because of Janae and Darion, this will absolutely be our first stop for any future formalwear needs. I highly recommend Black Tie by Lori, and especially Janae and Darion. read more

What a wonderful experience! If you've been considering booking, I highly recommend asking for Chyna!! My mom had the good fortune of matching with Chyna as her consultant on our visit and it made all the difference for her in her search. As soon as we got to the outlet floor, Chyna was waiting for us, ready to go. She wasn't feeling well, but that didn't take away from the excellent care she provided us and her confidence and kindness shinned through. She already knew what my mom was looking for, referencing booking notes, and after showing her photos of the dream dress prototype my mom wanted, she knew exactly which dresses to pull, all of which were on point. She even "jacked her up" when we got to the dress that could be the one my mom says yes to... We ended up leaving without a dress, but Chyna made sure to save the notes to my mom's account for follow-up and sent us away with all the information for the dress she's considering. A special thank you to Darien for booking the appointment & taking a moment to step end towards the end to offer warm and hilarious moral support - he gave my mom such wonderfully encouraging feedback while she was considering her favorite dress of the day and some T on the exclusive designer of her dream dress. Another thank you to Lauren who was present during our visit and also checked in on us before leaving and had warm energy and encouraging words to gift us as well Overall, Bridals by Lori was hands down our favorite bridal gown shopping experience in the city (and we've visited 3 others). Five stars for service, ambiance, and outlet selections! Some things to remember for planning a smooth visit: Bridal appointments are required and have a 15 min grace period If you don't purchase on your visit, stop by the front desk to let them know so they can refund the $75 deposit Bring one or two people to take photos or video of you so you can look back at the dresses you try on, in case you need to think some more on options (Note: In case you were looking, they've recently discontinued selling bridesmaids dresses, but they still have black tie attire for men.) read more

My sister and I came in to look for mother of the bride and mother of the groom dresses for our May and June weddings. Gabriel and Kayley helped us, and they were absolutely phenomenal. They were kind, encouraging and not the least bit pushy. They spent all the time we needed. Gabriel's experience and expertise guided both of us to saying "yes" to our dresses! We are thrilled and couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Bridals by Lori. read more

My service was exceptional from beginning to end. Mia Lee and Gabrielle Lopez were truly the best. They were extremely knowledgeable, kind, professional and most patient. They're not enough adjectives to describe this duo. When I say these 2 people were the best...PERIOD!!!! I would be remiss if I didn't mention the ladies at the front desk; pleasant and professional. read more

I chose Bridals by Lori because they just started carrying my dream dress (Pnina Tornai). They also have an incredible reputation for classic, stunningly beautiful wedding dresses, many designer options and a highly knowledgeable consultant team. I learned of them from their Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta days. They helped me have my 'bridal moment'. My consultant was Flo and she has quite the eye for style. I even met Lori herself. I had my say yes to the dress moment and it was so perfect. I also found my veil there as well and it came in very quickly. They do offer a way to track the production of your dress and arrival time. Thank you!! read more

The quality of customer service sucks. Everyone seems to be in a hurry with no patience

I booked my first dress shopping experience here and was honestly kind of let down. I booked in the outlet section and was met with my person around 10 min after my appointment time. I was asked what I like and want to look at which I gave some photos for inspiration. She proceeded to go pull some dresses for me and we were not allowed to take any photos which I thought was crazy as you want to remember back what you liked or didn't like on yourself. I was never allowed to walk around and look myself and it felt rushed between dresses as she kept mentioning she had to check how much more time she had left. After about 5-6 dresses they didn't offer to see anything else or any other options based on what I liked from the others - maybe because they didn't have anything within my budget, but my appointment ended before my full hour was even up and started after the set time. It just seemed like they wanted you in and out, especially if they didn't think you were serious about buying. I would not recommend unless you have a specific dress you know they have. read more

Hands down the best wedding dress shopping experience. Before booking an appointment I have visited 5 other stores in two different states. I really was exhausted from the other stores and couldn't find the right vision until I shopped at Bridals by Lori. Flo was very patient and allow me to try on similar looks but she was very honest if a dress wasn't for me or too mature. I value that feedback. She even pointed out that my glow dimmed when I put on a different dress, talk about service and paying attention to details. Flo is very experienced and she loves what she does. I found the perfect dress for my wedding in November. Also the entire staff there is amazing. I love the teamwork and the support they give each other to help make the clients dreams come true. Overall the best experience and so happy that I found my perfect dress here!! read more

we have never been more disappointed, the consultant was not professional, had someone who helped him who was not a consultant and did not even know how to clip the dresses ! Our budget was $2500 and he made it seem like we asked for a $500 dress ! Very unpleasant experience! But the next day we had a great experience somewhere else and found a beautiful $2000 dress !! Lori you want to make sure your staff is trained well ! read more

If you want an exceptional, fun spirited, and warm individual, ask for Talia! She was extremely personal and was 1000% on my side during the entire appointment. She made me feel like my decision was mine and she supported me. I greatly appreciate the team and the logistics/creative thinking they put toward the dress of my dreams. Thank you a million!

I accompanied a friend on a bridal appointment. When she checked in, we were instructed to take the elevator upstairs. That's where all the magic takes place. The sales associate introduced herself and asked my friend some questions. The dresses are organized by rooms. I'm assuming this is either by designer or style. The sales associate and my friends browsed around while we waited on the couches. They don't allow pictures of any of the dresses except the one you choose. Once chosen, there is a room with a TLC/Say Yes to the Dress backdrop that the bride can take pictures. They have an outlet store on the bottom floor with previous seasons' dresses. read more

Where do I start, my experience was absolutely amazing, I made an appointment for the outlet, the style of dress i was looking for was not available, the person assisting me advice me to go upstairs, i got an appointment for 4pm, the ladies took great care of me, i felt like a princess, everyone was so attentive and friendly. The dress my stylist choose was my dress. After I put on that veil that was it for me that was my dress. read more

Attended an appointment with my best friend today to find her perfect dress. We were both so excited as we are both fans of the show but soon after we got to the third floor and told how this process was going to go....we started to get a bit underwhelmed and disappointed. For some backstory, the day before we had two appointments at two other shops where we were greeted with super friendly consultants and offered beverages and seats and told to be comfortable and they could pull dresses for us or we could look around. We went into today with the thought that she would just allow the expert to pull what she thought would work best for her body type without telling her any ideas of what she likes or doesn't like because the day before proved to be rather difficult in finding the perfect dress when focused on specifics instead of letting the expert work their magic. Here are some things of note you can expect for your trip to this boutique. 1. They will NOT be pulling any dresses for you. You will be instructed to go to the third floor and check in to the desk. They will tell you to go from room to room which are separated by designer and you may pull up to 7 dresses to try on. The price tags are all color coded for sizing so we were told what color tags to look for which did make that part a little easier. Ok so our plan was squashed and we were back to trying to figure out what to pull. 2. The dressing room areas are filthy. Do not wear shoes that mean you will end up barefooted at some point. The carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in quite a while. 3. You will not be offered a beverage of any kind (at least we weren't until we were getting on the elevator to leave) 4. The most frustrating and disappointing part of the whole thing is being told that I couldn't do my part that I was there for and that was to help my friend out with pictures and take notes about her likes and dislikes of each dress she tries on. NO PICTURES ARE ALLOWED UNLESS SHE SAYS YES TO THE DRESS!!!! This is the most absurd rule ever. One of the first things my friend said to me yesterday was she was happy she had the pictures to review of the other dresses because she was so overwhelmed she couldn't keep them straight in her head. So for a bridal shop to not allow something so basic and something that eases the stress of the bride really made us mad and honestly made us want to just leave. I've helped many friends at many bridal shops in several states and this is the first shop I've ever seen with this rule. 5. Wear something comfortable and cool it's very warm in there with all the spotlights. My friend did find the only dress that brought tears to her eyes here but it was also way over her budget and I'm fearful she has now over extended herself for a dress. The other boutiques were way more affordable. This shop did have plenty in the $2-3k range but this dress ended up at over $7k while the sticker was $5200 because of fees and things like adding on straps etc. some things were a shock to me. Apparently if your want a corseted top there's not a charge but if you want to order a custom size it's $2500 more? So basically because everything in the shop is a sample and you have no choice but to order the dress...if you don't like a corset then your dress is going to cost you an extra $2500 just to have a sized dress. Somehow this feels like car shopping. Here's the sticker price but we are doing this fee and that fee and now it's $10k more lol. Anyway...just some things to keep in mind. read more

I truly had a wonderful time and shopping experience!! Erica was my consultant for the day, but the manager and Jennifer also assisted as well. What I loved about the entire experience is that they truly heard me and what my wants were. My family was there and they too said this was such a wonderful time. This was my second time shopping but it was my last stop as I had said yes to the dress!!! read more

NEGATIVE 0 Stars! BEWARE Brides over the size 12-14! I'm normally a size 14-16 in dresses but 18-20 in wedding gowns. Went here last week, I arrived and checked in 2 minutes after my appointment time and had to wait downstairs to fill out a phone form I filled out online already the day before, pushing me about 15 minutes over before they sent us upstairs. I had a consultant by the name of Erica. You can tell she was irritated the moment we walked off the elevator and saw I was her bride. Erica had the worst attitude and made my experience feel completely rushed. She kept asking if I tried on wedding gowns before, I told her yes. She had me go through like 4 to 5 rooms of gowns and just pick what I think I might like but making sure I know only blue tags are "plus size friendly" but I still will not fit completely on any of the dresses there. My guests and I were placed in the very back corner, it felt dark, cold, and claustrophobic not much room to move around once I'm on the small circle stage with these gowns on and not block the walk way as well. The chairs my guests sat on that circled me were close, hard and uncomfortable. We felt hidden and trapped back there. The main stage with all the light and open comfortable couches were open so I don't understand why we didn't get a seat/room out there. During most of my appointment I had like 5 other staffs around me even Lori popped up here and there. It's not at all glitz and glam like how they portray on the TLC tv show at all! I felt no where as beautiful in the gowns as I thought I would, I had more anxiety than anything and was ready to leave by the second gown I tried on. Also you're not allowed to take photos in the gown so I had to go base on memory if I even had a gown in mind. Erica vibe was completely disgusting toward a bride my size, kept saying "not your size" or " it's not going to fit you" and even mockingly say "thank you for wearing spanx today because it would help her out a lot" like yes I understand I'm bigger size but at least sell me the hopes of making me feel like beautiful bride while trying on 5-7k wedding gowns. One thing for sure she was for sure pressuring me to "say yes to a dress" that day! I will not be buying my wedding gown from Bridals by Lori! They are not plus size friendly at all! read more

Megan Scott is OUTSTANDING!!! For years I've known that I would go to Bridals, by Lori for my wedding dress. I was fortunate enough to meet Megan Scott several years ago and knew that I wanted her to be my bridal consultant when the time came for me to get my dress. I had such a wonderful experience!!! Megan was beyond helpful, a consummate professional and made sure I was taken care of from the moment I walked into the salon to the moment I left. She has a wonderful and personable way about her that allowed me to feel so cared for and appreciated! Her excitement got me even more excited about my wedding! There is no better wedding consultant than Megan Scott!!! And I am so thankful to have had such a wonderful experience as I planned for my special day!!! read more

Addendum - we did receive a call and profuse apologies from the management at Bridals by Lori and request that we return the next day for a new appointment. Had it been up to me, I would not have gone back, but because there were dresses my daughter really wanted to see at that location, we went and we were treated the way we should have been treated from the first moment we went in the store at our original visit. My daughter is very generous of spirit and forgave the original mistreatment. I however am not sure I could ever forget the mistreatment from that consultant or forgive the ruining of her day. read more

Below is my review I posted on Google. It's since been removed.... Shortly after, I received a threatening letter from the owner of Bridals by Lori demanding I remove my review. My review was a fair and detailed account of my experience, one in which I am entitled to sharing. All opinions are my own. Clearly, people have different experiences and perceptions. While there are numerous points in her letter that I continue to contradict, the threatening nature of this letter seems way over the top. Original post: I do not recommend bridal gown shopping at Bridals by Lori. I will say, my consultant Flo was great, and took the time to listen and understand what I really wanted. She offered great suggestions and the dress I almost purchased was actually one she pulled. However, my real issue was with Lori. She basically busted into our appointment, didn't even ask my or my parties names, and began pulling dresses from her private collection for me to try. She had no idea what kind of dress I wanted but made sure I tried on 3-4 of the 'Lori Allen' collection. Each time I came out in one, she doted on how great it looked on me. Surprise surprise, when I came out in a dress that wasn't in her collection, she gave me underhanded insults like the dress made me too 'boobalicious' and 'I think you can do better'. As I mentioned earlier, I selected the dress Flo had pulled and was literally 2 minutes to paying. Lori came back to consult on my sizing and recommended a different size, which I kindly declined. Essentially, she shamed me for the next 10 minutes telling me 'A size is about 15 pounds, do you think you can do that?' - This lady doesn't even know my name?! When I said, yes and I'm not worried about it (even though the size I selected was the sample and fit perfectly) she yelled loud enough for a lot of people to hear "ALRIGHT GIRLS, SHE'S GONNA LOSE THE WEIGHT!" and walked back out onto the floor. I was mortified. As we were checking out, I got a feeling that this was not my dress. Partly because I wasn't madly in love with it but mostly because I didn't want to give my money to such a mean woman's business. I backed out at the very last minute and walked out of the store feeling defeated and embarrassed. Thankfully, a smaller store in Atlanta called The Sentimentalist had an opening that same day. I cannot recommend The Sentimentalist enough. Amazing staff, excellent and unique selection, great price points, and SO KIND. I'm from the south, I have a very thick skin and typically do not let other peoples opinions faze me, but Lori was extremely rude, intrusive, and abrasive. If you do go to Lori's and have a similar experience as mine, please know that no matter your size, taste, or budget, there are other places in the area that will treat you with respect. Don't waste your time. read more

*** Go to WHITE MAGNOLIA BRIDAL COLLECTION *** (They were AMAZING and we got our dress for the same price, more unique, clean, beautiful and a phenomenal experience) I ALWAYS try to find at least ONE thing that I like but this appointment was on the edge of RIDICULOUS. Our experience was honestly horrible. We came in with HIGH spirits, bubbling and excited. We'd just had lunch, laughed and was looking forward to a fun, memorable experience with each other as we helped my sister find her dream dress! Our joy came crashing down when we encountered Bridals by Lori. The store felt cold and sterile, the employees were not warm, friendly or welcoming to us. It was very business as usual, however we did not let that deter us and we powered on. Until we got to our consultant. Didn't greet us (she was busy, Amanda [I believe], said she'd help for a second while Kayla finished up, [We actually only found out her name because we overheard her talking to a co-worker that called her over.] When she did come over, she started with something like. "So what did you pick?" She never acknowledged the bride or that we were a big group with her, I don't think she asked my sister's name. She also did not give us any information on how everything would go or what direction the appointment would start. Not personable Didn't help with dressing: she stood in the same corner of the room the entire time. My sister had to try on everything herself, no help, and she wasn't clipped or fitted into the dress until we asked if Kayla could assist. We felt Rushed: we came on time for our appointment, but from the moment we arrived we felt like we were in the way of something. Entered her on personal opinions/style she made sure to point out when she felt something was ugly by making faces or not being helpful when we asked questions about it. I could tell my sister felt uncomfortable when she liked or wanted to consider something that Kayla visually did not agree with. Her negative attitude was infectious to our whole group. We all sat very silently for the first half of the session, until one of us said.. " is it just me or....?" at which, the whole group agreed wholeheartedly that the experience was not fun at all. No bridal experience; it felt like being at a regular ross. Our consultant did not pull any dresses, or listen to my sister to see if there was any clues she could gather to help her find something she loved. Honestly feels like she hates her job, this was soo awkward, and what was worse no one else really seemed like they were having a good day either. The dresses were often dingy. Ivory was beige, all of the dresses seemed dirty and worn. Nothing we experienced felt clean, crisp or new. We were reallllly sad about it, this was supposed to be a very happy occasion and it was lackluster, awkward and negative. We could not leave there quick enough! read more

Unless you have an impressive budget, avoid this place in your dress shopping. Not worth wasting your time or joy. The people with smaller budgets get sent to the basement where they house a number of less than impressive dresses. The experience is rushed, impersonal, and not fun at all. Go to Carries Bridal in Chamblee or Bridal Sense a mile from here. MUCH BETTER places for the bride who's not interested in spending a fortune but wants to find a BEAUTIFUL dress and have a warm, pleasant, personable experience. read more

I found the dress of my dreams at Bridals by Lori. While all the staff was just so above and beyond, Melody Johnson has a special place in my heart! She was so fun and kind and made a day I was so nervous about, one of the most fun days I have ever had. She made sure she was there for my fitting as well, and seeing her again was truly such a highlight. I know I am going to feel my most confident self the day of my wedding because Melody not only helped me find the most perfect dress, but she made me feel beautiful and special! Forever thankful for this experience. read more

Revising: This shop will absolutely give you a green and ignorant associate and expect to train them on your time. I think it's pretty acceptable to be patient and overlook mistakes with a new employee at a fast food restaurant but not at a wedding dress shop where you are about to drop thousands of dollars. The new sales associate was nice but had absolutely no idea what they were talking about and had no knowledge of the inventory. Bridals by Lori will also take no responsibility for a poor experience they provide. My group was completely shocked that this shop provided such a chaotic and terrible experience. I found me dress at Wedding Angels and would highly recommend that shop or White Magnolia and Lovely Bride. They create a fun, informative, and productive visit with a variety of unique new designer dresses and VERY knowledgeable and attentive associates. In the end a sales associate is SO important and can make or break an experience. You hopefully only shop for a wedding dress once and every shop should try to create a memorable, positive and exciting visit. --- Do not go here. This was one of the worst experiences I had. This was my second store and they gave me a brand new sales associate who had no idea what they were doing and had no knowledge of the dresses. Multiple people had to assist her and at one point I had (3) other associates in my very small dressing room helping her do her job. When I described what I was wanting she brought back completely different dresses than described. She also had no idea how to clip in the dress to size. At other dress shops I had sales associate who asked thoughtful questions and created a calming environment to help me narrow down my top choices. They also respected my privacy and would hand me dresses from outside or set up dresses in the room then step out. This woman was in the dressing room with me shoving multiple gowns back into bags and tossing over dresses for me to put on. This space is also very dark with dirty floors. Even the front desk staff who check you in were not very friendly. They reminded me of TSA staff who barked at you with no greeting. Most the the dresses I tried on were pretty but a majority of them I have seen before and they did not provide much of a unique selection. ALSO they do not let you take pictures. Highly recommend against. read more

It was surreal seeing the same people you've seen in Say Yes To the Dress Atlanta! But be aware, this place isn't for everyone and I would advise you to leave this place as one of your last stops. The reason being is that they offer a certain amount of discount only on your first visit here. I believe it was 10% and the day I went, they had a special deal of 12%. With this in mind and that their dresses are just damn gorgeous, it'll be hard to leave without a dress but hard to make that crucial decision at the same time so make sure you scope out everywhere else you want to visit beforehand as this was one of my regrets, in additon to the fact that i didnt bring my crew with me other than my mom. Bridal by Lori is located on Hammond/Roswell road in the shopping Plaza across from Canton Cooks. It has a private parking lot and once you enter, there's a waiting room and restroom that is currently in renovation. For wedding dresses, take the elevator upstairs and voila, you'll see all the bells and whistles. When we entered our coordinator was still finishing up with her previous clients that we were just waiting aimlessly. Luckily Lori ^^ saw that and got her staff to help us right away. BBL has about 10 rooms divided by designers where they let you pull dresses of your choice and put on the hanger. Needless to say, I went through each and one of the rooms and picked out all the dresses that caught my attention. Make sure you don't forget to check out the sale room where they sell sample dresses at a significantly lower price. So the dress I got was a dress that the coordinator had picked out but it was the first dress I tried on and the last one. Should have known when I was hesitant to take it off to begin with. But I must have tried on about 8 dresses in all and all dresses were just splendid in its own ways. I loved my coordinator and loved that she knew what she was doing. Also, get ready to be comfortable with them as they are in the room with you to put on and off dresses. Couple other things worth mentioning. - Dresses start at $2500 other than Tara Keely line. - If you want dresses below $1500, they do not provide you a coordinator so mine as well make an appt for full selection and browse the sample sales as well, budget permitting. - They do not allow pictures unless you decide to buy. Unfortunately we have completely forgotten to take pics in the dress at the end =/ - There's only 24 hour cancellation period, where you only forfeit $500. After that you're without an option. - If you pay in full, you get an extra discount. - During the try on, they provide you oh so comfortable robes! They actually sell them for $50 - They have bridesmaid and dresses for moms on the first floor, so check out on your way out. -Also have Tux shop for the guys next door as well. Though I came in with the intention of trying on Tara Keely dress, i went home with something completely different and outside of my targeted budget. So for this reason, i would advise you to be well prepared when making a visit here. Other than that, I said YES to the dress at BBL! My only other regret is that i didn't get a picture with Ms. Lori and hope I get another chance during fitting. P.S. Had to take a star off as some staff members just seemed unfriendly and came off snobbish if you weren't dressed or looked a certain way or ready to pay up. Oh and fitting isn't cheap either... Def over $700+. read more

Where to begin! The selection of dresses are second to none, instead of only finding one or two dresses that I wanted to try on there were dozens I couldn't wait to get into. Flo was absolutely amazing, she knew instantly what designers would look best on me and listened to everything I said and took note of my reactions to each dress. I came in wanting to try on a specific dress and it ended up being the one! The experience from start to finish was everything I hoped for and more. If you are in the Atlanta area and are looking for a dress I would highly recommend Bridals by Lori! Thank you Flo and Lori for making me feel so special and helping me find the dress of my dreams.

I honestly decided to go to Loris just to experience it, since I had watched the show for so many years. It was the first place I went dress shopping, and I went into it with a "just for fun" mindset- with zero intentions of actually getting my dress that day. Flo was my consultant, and was an absolute DOLL. I showed her pictures of a few dresses I loved and she pulled 3-4 for me to start with. We also walked around and pulled some to try. I ended up falling in love and buying the first dress Flo put me in- she was SPOT on! She made sure I tried on other options but the first one was so perfect. Lori was so sweet and congratulatory and very hands on. She was the one who measured me and helped choose veil length, head piece etc. From shopping to alterations it truly was an amazing experience. They made me feel so special and really took their time making sure I got exactly what I wanted! *edited to add, they are strict about taking photos freely while trying on dresses. You CAN take photos in the dress you end up choosing. Not sure why- but if this is important to you, just be aware. You are also limited to 3-4(?) guests. read more

The suits and everyone except Sandra Riley were incredible. Each time dealing with Sandra she was passive aggressive and continually made me feel bad for not following her process. My suit was returned on time in their dropbox, but she wanted my name on it. Am I supposed to use my label maker to make her job easier? Each garment has a barcode, look it up. Each of my groomsmen had measurements from out of state tailors. She complained because each measurement wasn't done in a uniform fashion the same way. So all groomsmen in different states were supposed to use the same tailor for fitting? Bridals by Lori staff was amazing, Sandra needs work. TLC or no TLC, I won't be back if I have to deal with her. read more

This review of Bridals by Lori is written from a groomsman's perspective. This is a well known Atlanta bridal store among females, but there is a men's department as well. It's known as Black Tie by Lori and is located downstairs. They sell and rent out tuxes and suits. The bride and groom did an excellent job choosing the groomsmen's suits. I loved the look. We had slim fit grey suits with white shirts, white suspenders, gold ties, and black shoes. It was a simple yet sharp and elegant look. This is something I am looking for in a suit I want to own. I liked the look so much I inquired about purchasing. The suit was $599. This price was not unreasonable. Rental fees count towards the purchase of any suit -- it doesn't have to be the same style as the rental suit. The suits looked terrific. The groom and his groomsmen looked stunning (if I do say so myself). There were a few hiccups in the rental process. I got measured for my suit months in advance. When I went to pick up my suit, the shoes were forgotten from my order (even though they were listed on my receipt), my shirt had broken buttons, and my pants needed to be re-hemmed. It was a good thing I went to pick up my suit early, so I could try it on and work all these kinks out. My fellow groomsmen had similar experiences. I have rented tuxes and suits from other businesses and never ran into these kinds of problems before. I had to make an extra trip to the store to allow for shipping time of the shoes and for my pants to be re-hemmed. The shirt was replaced on the spot. The shirt I received still had some broken buttons, but they were functional. This is the first time I have ever seen a dress shirt with broken buttons. Then again, this was a rental suit, so I wasn't too perturbed. Along those lines, the suit did not fit perfectly (and for a rental, one should not expect it to). I'm a skinny guy and the shirt and pants were a little baggy. The jacket fit nicely, however, and I was stoked to find they carried size 34 short for that particular suit. Score. The rental worked out to be about $185 per suit. Since it was an out-of-town wedding, we were allowed extra days to pick-up and drop-off the suit, which was nice. I was helped by a few different folks during my visits. The only person whose name I remember is Danny and he seemed knowledgeable and gave good advice and tips in regards to my suit. The entire staff was polite and helpful. In summary, the suits looked great. Just be sure to pick up and try on early in case any adjustments need to be made. read more

I had my very first bridal dress shopping experience with Bridals By Lori in Atlanta. I was thrilled that Flo was my consultant. She was understanding, patient and really encouraged me to customize my dream dress from my vision! Also amazing was Melody! She processed my order and was so helpful when I called back to the store with questions not once but twice, days after placing my order. She helped me TREMENDOUSLY with questions and concerns I had. That woman deserves SO much recognition and praise. read more

Flo made all of my dress dreams come true. I met with her on a Sunday afternoon and she worked with me for 2.5 hours. At the end of our appointment she put my dream dress together however my mom wasn't there. She didn't even blink an eye when she offered me another appointment the following weekend for my whole crew to come back. She spent another afternoon with me and my crew showing off our dress creation. She was so patient and listened to exactly what I was looking for in a dress. She is the Bridal Boss and I couldn't have been luckier to have this experience with her. The whole team at Bridal By Lori was so welcoming to me and my crew when we came back that following weekend. It was a once in a lifetime experience that they made even more memorable! read more

Bridals By Lori - Bridal Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I came here to look for a wedding dress in 2019 and Megan Lamonica was the woman who helped me find my dream dress. She seamlessly helped balance finding dresses I wanted and also the ones my mom wanted me to try on. But she advocated for me the whole time and made sure I was comfortable for the entire process. She boosted my confidence and was super patient with me. I found my dress that very first appointment and that process wouldn't have been the same without Megan. So this past year I recommended my sister come here, not just because the dresses were cute and unique, but mainly because of my experience with Megan. She's outstanding, kind, and patient. She wasn't assigned to my sister but it was so nice seeing her when helping my baby sister pick out her dress! 1000% recommend Bridals by Lori and ask for Megan Lamonica she's awesome!!! read more

As what someone else posted previously, just because it is on TV, does not. Make it legit. I was begged to try the place for groomsmen outfits. I was a lil hesitate because I know their specialty is Bridal dresses. The procedures leading up to getting the outfit was fairly easy. Submit names of groomsmen and then the month before the wedding date, submit sizes. Yea it seemed easy, but SEVERAL of the groomsmen sizes were extremely off. Even two days before the wedding, their alterations machine was broken, but there was one in their bridal department, but they still had to send it another store to get it fixed. Mind you, it was coming into Easter weekend and their main person was out as well. If guys from all over the country to get their outfits, don't give us the excuse "I don't know what to tell you" FIX IT! We payed for a service, you have to provide adequately to what we paid . Also the ring bearers outfit was jacked up as well in which he couldn't even wear his jacket. Long story short....go to MENS WAREHOUSE!! read more

Had a wonderful experience buying my mother of the groom dress at Bridals by Lori. Kara was excellent! Will definitely be going back.

Cat and Kara were so nice and accommodating. we had stopped at several other bridal stores before this one. While we did not purchase my daughter's gown here, I found mine. Both experiences were very positive. Fantastic selection. Ark consultants. very patient. read more

Every time someone asks for a recommendation for a bridal shop to go to I immediately respond "anywhere but Bridals by Lori". The service is absolutely terrible. I was recommended by my future sister in law who got a dress here in the early 2010s, so this was the first place I visited. I'm not sure if she was an exception, or if the quality progressively became worse as the years went by, but either way would not recommend. Prior to the appointment, you fill out an initial form online, followed by a form day-of. I was initially excited that the person helping us would know about what I was going for as a future bride only to find it was evident she had spent 0 amount of time reading the form.  The lady attending us was extremely judgemental and rude, making sneering comments about my preferences, and recommending dresses that completely missed the mark. She at one point even said "don't even bother" when I asked if I could see a selection (they are divided into sections by designer). Ironically after I finally looked, I found a dress that I really liked. The worst part of the experience wasn't even how the attendant treated me, it was how she treated my wheelchair-bound future mother in law. She basically treated her as an afterthought, and the few times my mother in law could get her attention she was dismissive of her. I can handle bad treatment, but I have a really low tolerance when this behavior is exhibited toward my future mother in law, who had envisioned a nice time bonding with her future daughter in law that day.   The reason I didn't buy a dress is 100% due to the service of the attendant. I will forever hold a bad taste in my mouth whenever someone mentions this place. read more

I was super excited for my appointment on Friday at Bridals by Lori. Sadly, after arriving the excitement quickly went away. Once we got to the Bridal floor (3rd floor), we were greeted by a stylist. She told us to look around because she wasn't sure who my stylists was going to be. I had this appointment for two weeks, so I didn't understand why my stylist wasn't already selected. My mom and I looked around and waited for my stylist to appear. I had a vision of what I wanted, but couldn't seem to find it on my own. I thought that's where the stylist would come into play, to assist me in finding my vision or at least close to it. Eventually, we were told Marta would be our stylist. Well, 25 minutes later, she finally showed. When we met Marta, she seemed to be rushing us. Everything seemed to move at warp speed, which I was confused, since we were on time and she was late. I also didn't feel like she was really helpful and kept selecting dresses that were truly no where close to the pictures I showed her. Additionally, I didn't like that she was in the dressing room while I changed. She didn't ask if I was comfortable with her being in there and it really caught me off guard. There was one stylist, who I believe was training, but I can not remember her name, but I believe it started with a T? She was more helpful than Marta and she actually picked out the only two dresses that were somewhat close to what I was looking for. I was really looking forward to my dress shopping experience here, as this was my first time looking. Unfortunately, I didn't leave with a warm and fuzzy feeling. I felt drained, rushed, and pressured to say yes to the first dress I tried on. We also didn't know that you can not take pictures until you purchase the dress. This was an interesting policy to me, especially since Marta stated that the dresses could not be found anywhere on the internet. So what's the problem with taking a picture??? Overall, I didn't enjoy the service here and I highly doubt I will be back. I've talked to other people and reading some of the other reviews, this seems to be the normal behavior here, so just beware! read more
