Just want to give a shout out to I do I do, lovely bridal shop in Athens. Our first and only stop to find a wedding dress for my daughter. It was a wonderful experience. They are very accommodating and I think her name was Erin is a very good stylist. After the first dress she knew where to go next and with the help of my hubby came back with several dresses she picked as her 3 finals. They allowed us to bring champagne and a charcuterie board for the appt. They supplied plates, glasses and napkins. The shop has many dresses of varying styles. My daughter did say yes to the dress and we were thrilled. Very reasonable pricing. Forget the online dress! Have the experience and enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity that you will cherish. Jessica the owner is lovely and very helpful. Actually bought the dress she wore at her wedding. read more

Shopping for my daughter's wedding dress started as a wonderful experience. Trying on beautiful gowns and saying "yes" to the dress was such a special day, and Jessica made her feel celebrated throughout the appointment. Unfortunately, our experience changed completely after the purchase. Customer service seemed to end once the dress was ordered. After waiting five months, the dress arrived two sizes too small. It was insinuated that my daughter gained weight, which was simply not the case. We were also told the salesperson did not measure her before the dress was ordered, which might have been the reason for the wrong size being ordered. Even more concerning, when the replacement dress was ordered, she still was not measured. We were told the replacement dress would be rushed, but it was scheduled to arrive only two weeks before the wedding--leaving almost no time for the alterations that every wedding dress requires. Instead of enjoying the final weeks leading up to the wedding, we were left scrambling to find an entirely different dress. What was most disappointing was the lack of accountability. We had to ask for an apology rather than having one offered voluntarily. To the store's credit, they did provide a full refund, and I appreciate that. However, a refund could not make up for the unnecessary stress and disappointment during what should have been one of the happiest times in my daughter's wedding journey. I hope this feedback encourages improvements in communication, measuring procedures, and customer care after the sale. read more

They have a lot of inventory, so they can sell you a dress for sure, but they are horrible at customer service and the alterations situation did us in. We had to go to four fittings. Each time we went, she had not done the things we had asked for the time before so we had to keep going back. Eventually it was right and they offered to steam the dress. When I went to pick it up the girl came walking down the street to my car with the dress wadded up in a ball. So much for the free steam. They don't answer the phone and only return texts occasionally. If you want a stress free and enjoyable dress experience, go elsewhere. read more

Beautiful location in a historic building. Different seating areas and a great variety of dresses, both bridal and formal. Super sweet and knowledgeable ladies helped us. My friend who is too heavy found her dress here! Shout out to Katie! read more

Honestly made the dress buying experience more stressful than anything. My "stylist"? was a very young girl with poor customer service skills who looked annoyed about having to deal with customers (cool if it's your summer job, but this is my wedding and one of the biggest milestones in my life...). I was not allowed to (I assume, because NO ONE ever offered) browse the selection of dresses to pick any out, they would pick them from the rack and bring them back to you in the dressing room. No picking/choosing. Picked gowns for me that looked nothing like my inspiration photos. Kept bringing me dresses in styles that I did not like after I repeatedly asked for a different style. Only brought out dresses in the high-end of my budget. I was treated kinder by David's bridal which is a literal corporate chain. I picked a small business because I assumed it would mean I would get decent customer service, I was not expecting the opposite. Very disappointing. read more

Store is beautiful and comfortable. Everyone there is so sweet and supportive! Felt so confident the whole time I was there. Beautiful dresses in lots of sizes and styles. Highly recommend! read more

An INCREDIBLE experience. I bought my dress here as my very first bridal appointment and fell in love with the second dress I tried on. The staff and owner, Jessica, is great and their selection of dresses is incredible for any type of bride. The service is out of this world and they work with you closely on alterations and walking you through bustling. You MUST go here! read more

All I can say is "wow." I am from CA and came in for an urgent request. Not only did they help me, the resolved my need within 2 hours. I am still in shock. "I do I do" is the epitome of customer service. read more

I did not enjoy this store at all. I hate posting negative reviews, but my experience at this store was not good. They made me feel cheap with what I considered a great budget for a dress (well over $1,000), did not listen to me with what I wanted, and did not give me much personal attention at all. I had made an appointment and expected to have a good time. I love supporting local businesses, but I was really disappointed. They tried to get me to try on bridesmaid dresses and imagine them in white.... I don't know any bride that would want that... They do not have much of a selection either. read more

I called I do I do bridal desperately looking for a particular Stella York dress that I had learned was in the Spring 2017 collection and pretty much only at their trunk shows. I do I do was having a Stella trunk show on the upcoming week and was happy to assist with working me in an appointment. Patty was the one who got my appointment set up and was so nice on the phone. My mom and I made a 3.5 hour drive and the dress I had been hunting is the dress I ended up purchasing. Jan helped me with my fitting and was such a pleasure to work with. I can't imagine a better experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone searching for your dream dress. Our trip was more than worth it! I can't wait to come back for my fitting and see my dress again. Thank you Jan and Patty!! read more

I Do I Do Bridal Boutique - Dream Dress Found!! - Bridal Near Me - Athens, Georgia

I went in yesterday with my mom and future mother-in-law and we had the most pleasant experience. All the women were great and Caroline was a major help! The women were fun to pull dresses that I never would have tried on! Very personal and relaxed. I wasn't rushed to make a decision or to leave the store. We took our time and enjoyed this part of the wedding planning! This was the first place I went to try on dresses, I loved it! read more

Wedding dress shopping made easy!! Very friendly staff of young ladies that help you into the gowns and make you feel gorgeous! Alterations max out at $75 which is a huge plus.. Going to try on my dress was the best part of wedding planning. I looked forward to going into I DO I DO every time to feel like a princess!! read more

I live in Atlanta, and you'd think being the much bigger city with billions more bridal shops would make it the place to find your gown. Athens only has this one bridal shop, but it beats the hell out of all Atlanta has to offer! I went to maybe four or five shops around Atlanta with not much luck. I was starting to believe there was no dress for me in the world. My pessimism about the ordeal made me hesitant to drive all the way out to I Do I Do, despite the fact that a good friend of mine and her sister-in-law both found spectacular dresses there. I'm so glad I went, though! It's a small shop, but there are no crap dresses thrown in there to boost the inventory. The quality of the selection blew me away! I found my perfect dress in a matter of minutes and two more beautiful gowns that made the decision tough. The owner, Patty, is also fantastic. She's friendly, helpful, and not at all judgmental, which I definitely appreciate (no snide remarks about weight, no endless jokes about bringing my fiance in with me, etc.). As for the details, they do try to stock a range of sizes, but most seemed to be size 14. I think their prices are very reasonable too. My dress was $800, and that seemed to be the middle of the price range. My dress hasn't come in yet, so I can't comment on alterations. From what I've seen from the other two girls who got their dresses there, that part seemed to go off without a hitch. Point of the story is that if you live in Athens, go there. If you live in Atlanta, go there. It's worth it. read more

Walked into the store and was looked at by the lady as if i had two heads. No greeting was offered or any mention of welcome and I was told she was closing early and couldn't help me because she was having to pick up son. Completely understandable, however no mention was made of looking around or handing me a business card or even offering to set up a future appointment. I asked to look around and she agreed with reluctance then walked to the back to discuss with her partner while ogling us up and down. Defiantly did not feel welcome and when she kept asking if the gray car was ours at the door we all took the hint and left. Her attitude was snotty and rude. I will not be back nor recommend to any of my friends. read more

Awesome one on one customer service. Very friendly. Not a whole lot of dresses to pick from, but the few they have are pretty amazing. Prices are pretty reasonable too. read more

Unfortunately, I had a horrible experience with this Bridal Shop. I am not a person who easily gets upset and I try to be mindful that we all make mistakes. I'm not even a person who sends food back even if I really hate it! I live out of town, and had to order a bridesmaid's dress over the phone since this small shop does not have a website. Well, somehow, Patti, the owner, ran my card twice. I live in the 21st century, unlike this small shop who doesn't have a fax machine or letterhead, and have mobile banking with text alerts. When I called to talk to Patti about this, she argued with me and talked over me when I tried to explain myself. I spent hours being upset about my account being overdrawn, talking to the bank, taking off of work, and having to get the bank to correct this. read more

My daughter and I went to I Do, I Do looking for a white dress for a formal and apparently they were having a 'trunk show' (which we didn't know, how would we?). The older woman, who I believe to be the owner made a rude comment about us not having an appointment, that my daughter was too young, that we were looking too early for the event that she claimed to know all about but clearly didn't. We were hoping for a fun experience looking for potential dresses, however, the attitude of the shop owner made my daughter want to leave because she felt unwelcome. It's a shame because I have an older daughter who is getting engaged in December and will need a dress as well. After being treated the way we were I can assure you we will not be looking at this shop for her dress. read more

This was the first place and only place I visited to find a wedding dress. I was in Athens visiting my sister when we decided to make a last-minute appointment to see if they had anything I liked. Knowing it was a smaller store, I was not expecting much in terms of selection and definitely did not expect to find THE DRESS. But I did and almost right away! Patty, the owner, is absolutely fabulous. I showed her some pictures of dresses I liked. Then she asked for my budget and didn't bat an eyelash when I told her. She had a few dresses in mind and had me browse the front of the store while she retrieved them. Within minutes, she came back with three dresses that were right up my alley in both style and affordability. She was extremely knowledgable and patient - I never felt pressured to buy. She also had me try on two more dresses with completely different silhouettes from the others, just to make sure I knew what I wanted. I scheduled a return appointment for the next week so my mother could be there when I picked the dress. That day I worked with Jocelyn, another wonderful employee who also helped me pick out a veil. Just great one-on-one customber service. Smaller inventory but gorgeous gowns. Very reasonable prices - all the ones I tried on were below $1,000. And they all agreed that the most inexpensive dress looked the best on me, so you know they're looking out for the brides! They cap their alteration charges at $75 and give you 10% off a veil if you buy a dress there. I live 2 hours away and am very happy with my decision to buy my dress from I Do I Do! read more

The people here are so helpful and friendly, and the selection of dresses is wonderful! I found my dream wedding dress, and got all of my bridesmaid dresses from here! Would highly recommend everyone to go here. My experience was so much greater here than at any other bridal shop I visited. read more

I had just left David's Bridal and had a pretty poor experience when we decided just to have a quick look at I Do I Do - since it was already 4:30 and they closed at 5:00. Not only did I find the perfect wedding dress for me, but the girls working were so helpful! They grabbed an additional dress to try on, even though they were minutes from closing, and agreed to hold the dress for me so I can come back Sunday for a more formal fitting. I am SO glad I happened to stop at this gem of a boutique! read more

I set up an appointment at I do, I do: and I arrived on time. The entire time I was there (40 minutes tops) my bridesmaid, my mom and myself felt as if we were a burden to them, even though I only tried on 3 dresses! My mom ended up having to pick out a veil and belt for me since my consultant was too busy planning the rest of their week. The consultants was also extremely rude to my mother, obviously she did not realize who would be buying the dress. Overall, I was so disappointed and ended up finding my dress at another bridal salon in Athens! read more
