If you're a bride searching for your gown, stop looking and come here first…read more Having a boutique that offers in-house alterations is absolutely key when finding the right dress. I learned this the hard way. I originally bought a gown from another well-known shop, planning to have it tailored to fit me better than the sample I tried on. Once it arrived, I discovered that altering it to suit my body type was nearly impossible. Fast forward to Friday, my wedding was on Tuesday and I walked into New York Bridal with the faint hope of finding a dress that fit off the rack. I was greeted immediately by Joanne, who listened as I explained my situation and how I needed a miracle on my lunch break. Without hesitation, Joanne brought in Sarah, Reality, and Amir, and together they created the most supportive, "all hands on deck" environment I could imagine. They made me feel calm, hopeful, and even excited again. After trying on just three dresses, I found my dream gown, one that fit like a glove with no alterations needed. I'm beyond grateful for their patience, honesty, and teamwork. This experience is something I'll never forget, and I want to save other brides from making the same costly mistake I did. The team here truly knows their dresses and what works for different body types. And if they're not 100% sure, they'll go straight to the seamstress to confirm whether something is possible. That kind of expertise and transparency is what makes this place exceptional. Do yourself a favor. start your dress search at New York Bridal. I wish I would have!

NY Bride & Groom CLT-…read more I had been looking for my dress for a few months. I came across the NY Bride and Groom Bridal and my search ended there!!! After 3 visits to this store (indecisive self), I decided to finally say Yes to the Dress!!!! Each time from the first time I walked into the building it was clean, smiles on faces, everyone eager to help, variety of dresses, veils, tuxes etc, smelled good in there, and everyone was so nice and kind and helpful! I felt at home! Leila was thee best!!! She was knowledgeable, patient, very funny, energetic, helpful, kind and made me feel beautiful in every dress. She did not pressure me, gave me additional ideas, and went the extra mile!!! This was a great and pleasant experience and I recommend this shop to everyone. They also have multiple locations.

I can't share photos yet since my wedding isn't until November , but my dress is absolutely incredible. From start to finish, the entire process was amazing. Every girl in the showroom was so bright, energetic, kind, and helpful. You can tell how intentional and thorough they are with every detail and how much they genuinely care about their brides. The quality is incredible, and honestly, the pricing is much more affordable than you would expect based on the quality, the beautiful showroom, and the overall experience. They make luxury feel attainable. The best words to describe this business are intentional, kind, welcoming, high quality, and professional.

Brides-to-be, let me talk to you for a second…read more I walked into Lovely excited but incredibly nervous because I honestly didn't know if I would find the dress. Real life isn't always like the movies, so I tried not to get my hopes up too high or walk away disappointed. After trying on a few dresses, I remember telling my stylist, Allie, "I don't know if we're going to find it." She smiled, disappeared for a few minutes, and came back carrying the most beautiful gown. She looked at me and said, "I think this is the one for you." The moment she helped me into it, I did something I never thought I'd do... I cried. Allie looked at me and said, "I'm in awe of how good this looks on you," then pulled back the curtain. My entire group stood there with their mouths on the floor. She paired it with the most perfect veil, and together it felt like a match made in heaven. Allie is genuinely one of the sweetest, most encouraging, and most caring stylists I've ever met. The moment I started feeling discouraged, she brought light back into the room. She celebrated me, hyped me up, listened to what I wanted, and somehow found a dress that felt like it had been made just for me. Years from now, I'll remember the moment I found my wedding dress--but I'll also remember Allie and how she made me feel. That is such a gift. Thank you, Lovely, for giving me an experience I'll never forget. 10/10. I couldn't recommend you more.

I would have been a little more comfortable trying the dresses on without someone in the changing room with me but I wasn't completely dismayed as she was very knowledgeable.

The value of the dresses were consistent with regular dress prices and they are able to do an array of customizations. Would recommend giving them a try!

Heather Batts and this store took me for the wildest, most frustrating ride. They "ordered my…read moredress" and promised a May delivery and to reach out by April 2023. Come end of May, still no communication. I had to call, text, and email for several weeks until I finally received a response. She promised my dress was ready and we set a date for my first try-on. I arrived at the location and she looked at me like I was crazy and asked that I leave. She claimed we never set an appointment and that she hasn't looked through the boxes yet to see if my dress arrived. She told me she'd call me back by EOD to set a new time. She did the same runaround - never called, never texted. I had to try again for weeks to get ahold of her. Finally, we talked and set a new date to pickup my dress. The day comes around and she said she couldn't get a flight back to Charlotte and was back home in Nashville. We set a new date - yet again - and she stands me up AGAIN. Claims her "store was broken into and she was too emotional to stay and needed to reschedule." Her store is on the second floor with a locked elevator bank?? Now it has been 3 different times she has stood me up. We scheduled yet another appointment and she - AGAIN - stands me up saying she got into a car accident. A few days later she drops off my dress to my alterations store with a promise to refund me (unfortunately, I paid in cash). I have followed up with her for the refund since July and still nothing. Every time I text her she gives me yet another lie as to why she can't refund me just yet (paypal is down, her credit machine isn't working, etc.). This is the most horrible store and person on earth. Buying your dress is supposed to be one of the best experiences while wedding planning and she made it the most stressful.

We came in and I was in awe. The whole store is so refreshing and beautiful. They have a huge selection of dresses. My friend told the girl that was helping us an idea of what she was looking for. We looked around at dresses and picked a few for her to try. She narrowed it down to a few and still wanted to shop around for other options. Overall, the experience was pleasant. The staff is friendly and the store is pretty and very organized. I do recommend this place!

If you are very small, I'm willing to bet the experience is better. In the savvy bride side,…read morethere's a flower wall for pictures, good lighting, champagne, cute robes that say "bride" on the back, several stations for try on. In the haute & co side (the "plus size" side) the walls are grey and there are none of those things and there is one try on area. We scheduled for both places because the bride was between sizes. When we arrived, we were told her "street size" was off and that her bridal size was 2 or more sizes up, so we had to go next door to haute & co. We were told we showed up late and the sales specialist was frustrated because we weren't going to get the "full experience" I went back and checked the chat and we weren't late. We scheduled for 11:30 and she said we were scheduled for 11. She told us to "please keep in mind that she has a 12:30 back *here*" (here was the skinny side). Luckily the bride is really low maintenance and didn't fuss but, all told it was laughable. If you want to make people feel special and included: make the experience the same. We have been laughing about how bad the experience was compared to our second location since we left. Emphasizing how low maintenance the bride is, the second location was where we found the dress after about 2.5 hours total including both spots. It was perfect, flattering, and in the same place as the skinny bride dresses.

Shockingly disappointing. I was so excited to travel from Raleigh NC to go to the specific store…read more The videos and website made me think it was going to be a "safe haven" for plus size brides. Before we knew there was a NC location we were considering flying to Chicago. Boy am I glad we didn't. First in let me say my stylist was the sweetest "little" girl. She did her best with what she had. She was kind polite had pulled some dresses for me to try. And gave suggestions on how we could alter each dress to fit my style. And She brought us mimosas (best part of day) and offered snacks. Now let's go threw the nitty gritty. The decor is very industrial. Cement floors pipes for racks. Dark color scheme. Felt very odd. They did have a few dressing rooms each with a "viewing" area where your friends can sit and see the dresses. The changing room itself felt a little like wal Mart or old navy. It's just a little Partition of room with a pipe to use for a rack. So all your dresses are crammed on this pipe and you can't really look at the dress if you have more then one. There was a little night stand type drawer in the corner that had the clips and things and a small area on top to put my bag I brought with my under garments. Everything else had to sit on the floor. No chair in changing room. We were greeted by our stylist with a nice shy smile. I'm not sure if she was new or just shy. But she was trying you could tell. I personally was expecting stylist to be more my shape since it was a plus size shop. My stylist was a cute little looks like she could walk a runway lady. Made me personally feel self conscious and shyer. The entire time I felt like I was waiting for the ice to break were everyone would just relax and have fun. Unfortunately that's not how it ever felt. It was that awkward meeting someone for the first time feeling that usually last like 5 mins or so, for the 45 mins to an hour we were there. Again our stylist was very sweet and polite and did well with what she had. But how can a size 00 relate to a Plus size 28 when trying on dresses. Us bigger ladies have different struggles. Now the selection: Boy was I shocked! I thought being a specialty boutique there was going to be rows and rows of different designs and shapes. Nope! There was a row of dresses along the back wall behind some dressing rooms down the side wall and back up the back wall to create a U and that was it! For a boutique that's is boasting and making a name for itself to be for plus size brides to give them a selection they had none and it was very disappointing. I tried on maybe 6 dresses total all very busy poofy and fashionable but not at all what I had described during my consultation on the phone or like the pictures I showed when I arrived. I do feel they pulled the closest they had but the selection just wasn't there to find my style. So overall I gave 2 stars. I would do one but it's not the young lady's fault she doesn't have much to work with. She was sweet and tried her best. But you van only work with what you have. Which isn't a lot.
