I went to my first Brides for a Cause trunk show with a friend who was engaged. The volunteers were friendly and helpful. The dresses were no different than the ones you'd find in a high-end bridal boutique, the prices were unbeatable and proceeds go to charity. I tried on a few dresses even though I was not engaged at the time. After my engagement I knew I wanted to attend another Brides for a Cause trunk show first to start my search for a dress. I didn't expect to find my dream dress that day but I did and in fact it was the very first dress I tried on. I had it cleaned and altered a bit; friends still can't believe I got my wedding dress for $231! read more

Although we didn't find a dress here there were plenty to choose from. Customer service was amazing from Allie and Chelsea. Clean bathroom along with a beautiful dressing room area place was clean. Thank you for a great experience. read more

I almost went to the Wedding Dress Dash event in Seattle, but decided to skip the early wake up and crowds and head to their new store in Tacoma a few weeks later instead. Turns out I made a great choice! The store and staff was so welcoming and there enough dresses to see different varieties and styles, but not so many that it would feel overwhelming. I absolutely wasn't planning on buying a dress yet, but found the perfect one after trying on a couple of different styles. The dress is definitely one of a kind and was originally a floor sample, and I couldn't say no after seeing that the dress went from an original price of $2000+ to only $350! Since my fiance and I are basically funding our wedding ourselves, I thought I would have to sacrifice a beautiful dress for our reception, but now, I can have both! The best part is that the proceeds go to various women-related charities! I definitely recommend this store to any future brides out there! read more

Wow! I had such an amazing experience shopping for my wedding dress. I found my perfect dress and it was only $500! I felt so good knowing that my purchase went to a good cause, and that I would look fantastic on my big day! Thank you Brides for a Cause! read more

Went there today with my BFF & her family & this was a great experience. Kristin did an Amazing job helping us find dresses and also telling us all about the organization-My BFF found a Beautiful wedding dress that was originally $1500 for $500 plus tax that is an Amazing price. The dress just needs to be tailored a little but looks Amazing and you can't beat the price. Her cousin also walked out with a $200 Beautiful champagne wedding dress-This was such a great experience I am so glad I saw the ad on Facebook-All they need is a Yes To The Dress sign and they would be set-What a Great organization & cause-I will spread the word to all the new brides:) read more

I found THE PERFECT DRESS for a great price. I went there with my mother and my bridesmaids. The girls that worked there were so helpful but not overbearing. They let us browse, offered help with fitting, and even had some accessories to try on the get the full "bride" look. They even let us try on some just for fun. After seeing what I was looking for one of the employees pull this magical gown out practically thin air... that was it! It was the dress! After taxes the dress cost under $350. It's still had tags from the original store. I will absolutely refer any of my friends. Hands down, awesome experience! read more

Ladies if you are searching for a wedding gown start here first! They have an amazing selection of beautiful designer gowns in a variety of sizes. Some might be samples and others have been donated however the quality is excellent and you cannot beat the prices. The customer service is really phenomenal and you should know that the consultants are not paid on commission. They just really want you to be happy and have a great experience. My own personal experience just blew me away. I actually had already bought a gown and was on the second round of alterations when I stopped by Brides for a Cause. I was looking for some accessories but started rubbernecking at all the gorgeous gowns when one jumped out at me. It was just breathtakingly beautiful and I literally could not resist trying it on even after I explained to the very helpful Deanna that I was being ridiculous because I already had my dress. She said I was welcome to try on anything I was interested in. I told her I just wanted to try that one on and she brought me back to a room and then brought me some beautiful shoes to try with the dress. She helped me zip up and I realized that this was The Gown I was meant to wear. I took a few pictures of the dress at her suggestion and I told her I was going to think about it and would make my decision in a few days. But what actually happened was I went home and called my amazing seamstress Stacy to see where she was at on the 2nd round of alterations. Stacy suggested that if I was able to try both dresses back to back I could make my final decision. So I called Brides for a Cause and asked Deanna what their return policy was if I returned the wedding gown the same day. Deanna kindly explained that they have a final sale policy but then told me she wanted to speak with a manager and will get back with me shortly. What transpired after that was nothing short of miraculous. I was told that I could come pick up the gown if I left my personal information and a credit card number but they weren't going to charge me. They were going to actually allow me to take the gown out and return it if I decided not to purchase it. And of course The Gown never came back. I actually had an "Are you saying Yes to the Dress" moment with Stacy and it was fabulous! I just have to express my gratitude to Deanna and Christine for working with me and helping me find the perfect gown for my wedding in March! read more

What a great store! I came in on a whim after striking out for the perfect dress at several bridal shops. The staff was extremely helpful and assisted me as needed but was not pushy even once which is what I found to be the one common theme while wedding dress shopping. I not only found a dress that is perfect it was cheaper than I could have imagined and they offered a fabulous military discount on top of that. I loved the experience so much I brought my best friend who is also getting married the following week and she too found the perfect dress, much cheaper than expected and without the pressure to buy. Love this store! Please give it a try. I hope you love it too! read more

I found my perfect dress here for my upcoming wedding. It's absolutely gorgeous and great price. Highly recommend them to try out these dresses. Love the cause! read more

I visited Brides For a Cause a few days after opening weekend and there were hundreds of amazing sample dresses available at fantastic prices (many seemed to be around $200.) The staff person was welcoming and so helpful - taking dresses back for me to the dressing area, zipping me up, adjusting the dresses, taking pictures, and adding sashes. It was a very relaxed atmosphere, and I could browse the entire store on my own time without any kind of pressure from a stylist. I ended up walking away with a gorgeous gown originally priced around $1200-$1300 for only $200 plus tax. And proceeds go to charity! Doesn't get much better than that. There is a small pull in the material in the back, and it will need some tailoring, but it is a beautiful dress that felt better for me than many other dresses I've tried on in other bridal salons. I highly suggest taking a look if you're open to finding an amazing deal! read more

This is a fabulous boutique! There are many reasons to love this place. It is beautiful inside, the staff is friendly and helpful, and there is a plethora of beautiful dresses, at a discounted price!!! My friend said yes to the dress! This area of Tacoma is fun to bring girlfriends for a day trip. There are several good restaurants/bars nearby to celebrate finding your dress! read more

I absolutely loved my experience here on 11/17/18. My wedding isn't until next September but I knew I wanted to get a dress as far in advance as possible. As soon as I heard about brides for a cause I knew I needed to shop for my dress here. Not only was it for a great cause but the prices are much more reasonable for a dress that you're only going to wear for one day. To my surprise I found my dream dress and it was second dress I tried on. I stayed way below my budget and had a wonderful experience with the girls I brought along with me. Would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends! read more

Love this place ! Although I did not purchase my wedding dress from here! The experience was great ! Chelsea was so fun and so cute ! Her personality was perfect for my group ! She went above and beyond to make this exciting moment stress free and easy !! I totally recommend going here !! There are styles there to fit everyone! I believe you could walk out with the perfect dress you dreamed of without breaking the bank ! And on top of everything else the purchase of your dress is even more rewarding knowing the proceeds of your purchase go to such a amazing cause !!! read more

I am not a girly girl who likes attention or likes to go shopping. When I go shopping, it is usually alone. So, this was perfect for me. If you want the Say Yes to The Dress experience like on TV, probably should go somewhere else. However, if you want to browse the racks for yourself and see what you like, this is your place. I like the no commission sales, relaxed yet EXTREMELY helpful staff. I found a dress that is a style that I hadn't even tried on at the boutique. It is perfect and I am so excited for my handsome man to see me in it. Of course the selection is limited by your size. Do your research on the Cause, it is worth reading about. I am happy to contribute. read more

I had such a great experience! The staff was super friendly! And I am so grateful! I found the perfect dress and even got a great discount! This was the only place I went to and I bought my dress I tried on my first visit! Hands down the best place to get a wedding dress! read more

See all

Bride for a Cause has a wide selection of gown styles and sizes for an extremely affordable price! I was able to look through and pull my own gowns and try on however many dresses I wanted. The staff was very helpful but did not pressure me in any way. The space is industrial, modern-chic and the dressing room area has plenty of couches for your party to sit on! read more

An incredible company with fabulous staff. On my first visit with my sister, who is also engaged, my sister found THE dress and it is unique and STUNNING. On our second visit a few months later, it was almost completely new stock and I was still having a hard time deciding. So many dresses were amazing but I wasnt sure if it was THE dress... until a staff member who had helped us on both visits got a sense for my taste and pulled out the perfect dress for me. As soon as i put it on, I knew. This place is magical. read more

This place is an unconventional way to shop for wedding dresses, and in my opinion, it's the better way! I had the best time shopping for my dream dress: there was no pressure, they took walk-ins only, and the options were quite varied. Better yet, my dress was over half off the original price as it was a sample sale in a pristine and new condition! I am so happy that I found my wedding dress here, and would recommend many more people to this store. Who needs to spend a fortune on a wedding dress that can only be worn once?! read more

They have an amazing selection of dresses for all price ranges with most around the $600 range. Plenty of deals to be found for less if you are a savvy shopper! A wide range of veils for sale based on length and a small selection of shoes and bridal sandals. I couldn't believe that I actually found my gown that fit me off the rack. It was perfect. This is not your high end pampered experience: go in, grab your favorite five dresses, and try them on yourself!! But the staff are friendly and kind. read more

My experience at Tacoma, Wa Brides for a Cause was amazing! Due to Covid, brides can schedule an hour appointment for dress tryouts and bring up to 3 guest. I opted to just have my best friend joined me. The gal that helped us, Amanda, was great! Also, I found the ONE beautiful wedding dress for a reasonable price. I highly recommend Brides for a Cause. read more

What a great idea and awesome cause! Loved my experience there! Definitely a must do if you are looking for a wedding dress read more

Visited this establishment with my mom today, not expecting to find "the one." The ladies were very helpful and not pushy whatsoever. They were very nice in explaining how most wedding dresses run smaller, so to up my size (sure enough I had to!). I tried on at least 12 different dresses and was very impressed with the good quality of dresses I found. Sure, there were some that were obviously used - but the clerks were honest and up front about that. Additionally, I loved how there was no pressure to buy. The lady at the front desk/register encouraged me to take pictures in my dress and take a day to think about it. Also, the prices are fair and well within my budget. I would HIGHLY reccomend this place to anyone. read more

What a lovely, easy experience this was! I loved finding my dress here, I even ended up buying the first dress I tried on!

I heard about Brides for a Cause from a friend years ago and always knew I wanted to purchase my dress through them! Their owner was very responsive and answered all of my questions via email. I decided my best bet was to attend their road show in Seattle, knowing if I didn't find one there in the Portland inventory, I could hop down to the Tacoma store the same day. The event was so organized and fun! Everyone was very helpful and I found my dress right away! I love that I not only got a brand new dress for a fraction of the cost, but I feel good spending money knowing it is going to help women's focused charities (especially the Brides Across America). Keep doing what you do guys and I'll keep spreading the word about your amazing company! .. read more

Rude... that's the vibe I got since we walked in. They straight up told us they didn't had anything we were looking for, they literally said "we had nothing for you try Macy's", my friend and I decided to still walk around and see and we saw around 3 dresses similar to what we were looking for but I was not gonna let my friend buy a dress in a place where we literally felt like we were getting kick out. I guess because because I had my kids with me or we were Hispanic they didn't want to help us, one was a little more nicer but it definitely seem force the other was straight up rude and kept saying no to us. read more

Amazing staff, they were very attentive and kind. The dresses are all in great shape, and there's a good variety of sizes. I live 45 minutes away and it was worth the drive! I found a beautiful gown for $700 that was $1500 and it was brand new. It was one of the more expensive gowns in the store, but I had to have it. The fact that the money goes to amazing charities such as funding weddings for women with cancer or helping women go to college just made it so easy to purchase the gown. And the gown is tax deductible if you decide to re-donate. It's a win-win. read more

I visited the Seattle new location first and didn't find the perfect dress. They recommended me to check out Tacoma if I didn't mind the drive--which is not too bad if you avoid peak travel times. The Tacoma store had a large selection of dresses and were so friendly! I went at first just by myself to see how it was and the staff didn't pressure me at all, even though I stayed for an hour and a half considering one dress. I ended up not being sure about how the alterations would work and got a dress from David's Bridal...that I then returned within hours, since the dress at Brides for a Cause was so much better! The "Cause" dress may end up costing more due to alterations needed, but it will be worth it! The staff here was so much less pressure than David's Bridal and helpful. I will try to update this review after I get alterations done. read more

The store and staff were FABULOUS ! The Staff was helpful but didn't hover over us, yet gave recommendations and suggestions as needed. I love the concept of being able to give back when you purchase a dress. Suggestions that might have made the experience better... * the dresses are obviously used and some are stained and or ripped, a couple that I tried on, would have needed more repairs and cost more then buying a brand new dress. * the dresses would all have looked much more appealing had they been just steamed or ironed. I was able to visualize mine not wrinkly but it did look like it had been shoved in a bag somewhere for months. Mine happen to be a sample dress so not much for repairs needs to be done but there are some light spots that I will have to have cleaned before wearing. Overall a great experience and I definitely would suggest them read more

They have an awesome selection! I said yes to the dress on 11/29/18! I went to a few once loved dress shops and they had best selection and prices hands down. I was a little turned off at the fact I couldn't make an appointment which is why it took awhile for me to come in. I was worried it would be a zoo and I imagined women all over each other and that was exactly what is was not. Easy to shop with a helpful gal around to assist. Bring one friend if u find your dream dress call your family in. You will not regret it read more

I heard about this store from a friend who got her wedding dress at Brides for a Cause. I liked the idea of purchasing a dress using funds that would be donated to charity so, after many stops, and many hours, at bridal boutiques I stopped in. The attendants at the store were super friendly. I grabbed a few dresses from the rack and made my way to the fitting room. The first dress I tried was absolutely perfect! I am so glad I stopped in- I got the prettiest dress I could have imagined, for a great price, and with the knowledge that my purchase will go toward helping someone out there who needs it. read more

This wedding shop is an absolute dream! Not only do they have an insane amount of choices but their dresses are priced SO well. The shop was so well decorated, very easy to shop in and try on dresses. Also, the girls working there were so knowledgeable. I had the pleasure of working with Chelsea in the Tacoma, WA store and she truly helped me see the potential for the dress my sister picked out for me. The dress was 3 sizes too big so I was very iffy at first. I said yes to the dress, got it altered and it was absolutely perfect! Thank you Brides for a Cause and staff, you all are passionate for what you do and it shows! Strongly recommend visiting and purchasing your dress with them! read more

Lovely experience and staff. I didn't flinch spending the money since it goes to women's charities. Beautiful!

Wow, I CANNOT say enough good thinks about this place! Stopped in yesterday with my mom and expected to just try some dresses on and have a good time. I walked away with the designer dress of my dreams, and at a 90% markdown. Their selection is beautiful, and they have a variety of sizes available. Most of the dresses there seemed to be samples--in need of a clean and some tailoring, but they weren't dirty or torn or anything. The team they have there is fantastic, which made our experience even better! We felt like we were hanging out with a fun group of girlfriends, rather than trying to be sold on anything. They have helpful, honest feedback when asked and lended a hand when needed, too. The fact that there is a donation component made me feel even better about the purchase. Would highly recommend going, you won't regret it!! read more

I went to the Seattle roadshow and was lucky enough to find my reception dress at an incredible price (new, $150). All the proceeds goes back to women's charities so it's really something you can feel good about. I went to the Tacoma store today in hopes of finding the right dress. Most dresses are less than a size 12 and I really appreciated the level of care and help from the staff. It was a really nice experience and I can't wait to return in hopes of finding 'the one.' read more

Only bridal shop I had to visit to find my dress. Easy experience and not at all overwhelming. Lots of pretty dresses to pick from in my size and helpful staff. Walked out of there with a dress for $250 that was worth a few thousand! They even recommended a place a few doors down to celebrate with champagne after! read more

My experience at Brides For a Cause was more than I ever expected! I was really hoping to find my dress here since their mission is awesome and of course the gowns are absolutely beautiful! There were very few that didn't catch my. Each and every staff member was hands on and helpful. I can't thank them enough for the easy going experience I had. If you are willing to go through racks and dig right in this place is for you, if not one of the staff members would gladly help find the looks you are searching for! read more

Amazing! I really love my dress I got. It was BHLDN and over 1k originally and I got it for a couple hundred! Im giving them 5 stars because I had a great first experience. I would just want the gals who work there to help more with putting dresses on. I had my friends helping me get into the dresses not knowing much about what strap goes where and where to pin back if it's a little too big. It would've been helpful! They also have Anna Campbell which if you know her... her dresses are absolutely stunning and over 3k online or at other boutiques (if you're lucky to find them) and they are starting at about $500 at brides for a cause! It's seriously a steal and a great cause! Love love love this place! I am recommending it to everyone! read more

I got my dress from here about a year ago. I've been to both the Portland and Tacoma location, and I have nothing but good things to say. I love that they leave you alone to do your browsing, but are right there to help you when you need it. Bought an amaaaazing dress for super cheap, and it goes to charity, nothing could be better! read more

I went in to buy my wedding dress yesterday. I'm having a very small and casual wedding so I didn't think I would find anything. But I did! I found a beautifully simple dress. The ladies here are also amazing. They allow you to look around and browse without being over bearing. They allowed my best friend to help me getting in and out of dresses and they just stopped by occasionally to check on us. I would highly recommend them to any bride! read more
