My experience ended up being a lot less stressful than I was anticipating though, and was actually SUPER laid back. I enjoyed the whole thing WAY more than I thought I would have, and the best part was I ended up finding my dress! :) During my appointment I was lucky to have had Carly as my designer. Having an open mind, I listened to her suggestions while she made sure to consider mine. I really appreciate how trying on multiple styles was encouraged, I ended up really liking styles I would not have! Also, Care made sure she really had an idea of what the overall vibe of my wedding was which ended up being really helpful when it came to narrowing down my favorites!

I went with my sister to try on wedding dresses here in the spring and I have to say I wasn't sure…read morewhat I was walking into as back when I got married I essentially picked out a dress at top shop and called it a day. All of that aside, we had coffees in hand when we walked in for our early morning appointment and out of all the places we went to that weekend I think this one was tied for best overall experience. The first thing I loved, aside from the chic urban setting, was that each bride had her own dressing area that felt very private and despite other women using other areas of the shop our area felt very much ours, and we never even saw another bride which made the pacing relaxed. How the fittings work here is they take the bride to be to the back to pick out styles and learn a bit more about what she's looking for and then they come back and pull back a large curtain so the bride has privacy while dressing, they then reveal and you get a chance to talk through each look. The room was just as pretty as the dresses, it was comfortable, and we had a fun time. You should note that if you come with a drink like we did you will have to table them outside the room, which honestly made sense since we're dealing with some expensive gowns. Overall this wasn't the shop that my sister ended up picking a dress from but everyone was so kind, the dresses absolutely gorgeous and the ambiance so cool, this is a great shop and I'd recommend to anyone I know looking to buy a wedding dress.

Where to begin... I reached out to Bride because they are the only shop in the Kansas City area…read morethat has the dress that I want for my wedding. I reached out to them and told them the truth, that I had already purchased the dress in California (where I'm getting married) but wanted to be able to have some other members of my family in KC be able to see the dress, so I was hoping to do an accessory appointment / veil shopping at Bride. My mom has already booked a flight from CA to KC for a Friday to Sunday trip (which I told them), and asked if I would be able to get a Saturday morning appointment. They proceeded to tell me that they only do accessory appointments on Tuesday-Thursdays. Odd, but I was hoping with an explanation of my situation, they might be willing to make an exception - they did not. They said that Saturday mornings are reserved strictly for first time bridal appointments, and there was nothing they could do about my scheduling issues, since they only have 2 stylists and not a lot of availability. Mind you, if I had told them that I had not bought the dress already and snagged that first time bridal appointment, and pretended I would be buying it from them, there would not be an issue, but I always like to be honest with people - and they don't care! They said there is absolutely nothing they can do, it is their policy. Mind you, veils are not cheap!!! It's not like I was asking for 3 hours of their time to go in and buy a $50 bracelet... I wanted an hour to be able to try on the dress and some different accessories and veils, and I was more than willing to give them my business, because shop small right! NO. They said for accessory appointments they can only book me on a Tuesday-Thursday and I only get 30 minutes... 30 minutes is all you can give me when I'm about to spend $$$$ on accessories for the dress? AND they're only open until 6... So you're telling me I need to come straight from work (30 minutes away) where I already feel gross and not in the mood to be happy and excited and I better make a decision in 30 minutes? I understand that there are rules, and that they can run their business however they want, but I was so disenchanted with the whole thing and their utter lack of leniency that even though they're the only store that has the dress in KC, I will not be giving them my business. They were not overtly rude to me, but my favorite thing about shopping local, and shopping small is that they usually are able to bend the rules and help you out since they are the ones in charge. Apparently, Bride does not feel this way. So word to the wise - only ever tell them you are doing a first time bridal appointment if you want them to actually help you and treat you well.

We went dress shopping here June. The bride found the perfect dress, everyone was attentive and…read morehelpful and that's where the extent of the sincerity ended. The bride chose a very unique dress. We were even told by the stylist it was new, they had not see it on anyone before and had other stylists come look at said dress. The bride was given a timeline of when the dress would arrive and since the wedding is in November we are on a strict timeline. Alteration schedules were made based on this. When the bride went to pick up her dress she unzipped the bag, she saw it was the WRONG dress. The stylist had ordered the wrong dress. While they may have been apologetic the lack of communication afterwards was horrendous. They never reached out with a status on the order of the correct dress. All communication had to be initiated by the bride and the mother of the bride. Even when the dress arrived we were given two different times to pick up the dress. While I understand mistakes happen, this store's lack of communication and remorse for the inconvenience is a risk I wouldn't take as a bride. Good luck to those who shop here!

The first thing you'll notice when you come in is that you're treated like a VIP.

The stylist working was SO kind and helpful, and they give you complimentary champagne. What's not to like? While my sister ended up up choosing another boutique's dress in the end, this one had beautiful gowns, an A+ staff, and a relaxed environment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone shopping for a dress.

They give you privacy, help you process through things while also giving you space to think and breathe. You're ONLY person in the shop so all their time is on you. They call you on the phone before to get a sense for you and what you want and they are truly the best most comforting and supportive customer service. I got my dress off the rack so I got to take it with me back to DC. I would recommend 11 out of 10 times! I went to one other place in KC before this to at least get an idea of what I wanted and it was a night and day difference in experience. Thank you high vibe bride!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about High Vibe Bride. From the very first interaction through…read morealterations, the entire experience was thoughtful, personal, and genuinely joyful. This is my second wedding, and that context matters. During my first wedding, dress shopping at large bridal stores was stressful, overwhelming, and impersonal. I felt rushed and unseen. I chose High Vibe Bride because it seemed different--and it absolutely was, in the best possible ways. High Vibe Bride is a small, intimate salon that works with individual clients only, which creates an incredibly calm and personalized experience. Before my appointment, Janay scheduled a phone call to learn about my vision, preferences, body, comfort needs, and my multi-day destination elopement. She asked thoughtful questions, provided extensive information, and explained timelines and options clearly. By the time I arrived, she had already pulled dresses that aligned exactly with what I wanted. I immediately felt seen, heard, and cared for. As a plus-size bride, I was blown away by the selection. There were so many plus-size dresses in a wide variety of styles--not just one look or silhouette. Every dress I tried on was beautiful and thoughtfully chosen. Janay was extremely communicative throughout the appointment, answering all of my questions thoroughly and offering helpful details about how each dress would move and feel. She absolutely nailed it based on our phone conversation--I ended up buying the very first dress I tried on, something I never expected. Even better, although I went in planning to buy one dress, I left with two. They were completely different, perfect for different parts of my elopement, and affordable because the pricing was far more reasonable than anywhere else in town. I had very specific needs--plus-size, long sleeves, and nothing restrictive--and yet the selection was incredible. I never felt limited or like I had to compromise. Janay affirmed me throughout the entire experience and made me feel confident, beautiful, and honestly like a princess. The alteration process was equally amazing. Janay's background in making wedding dresses truly sets her apart. For my adventure elopement, mobility was essential--my photographer even encouraged me to make sure I could do jumping jacks in my dress. Janay offered creative, expert solutions that allowed me to move freely while maintaining the integrity and beauty of the gown. On a personal level, Janay went above and beyond to accommodate my severe dog allergies, thoroughly vacuuming the studio, putting down extra coverings, and checking in with me multiple times to ensure I was comfortable. She was also incredibly thoughtful when my mom couldn't attend due to injury--helping FaceTime her, sending photos, and making sure she felt included. High Vibe Bride is not just a bridal salon--it is a place where brides are truly listened to, affirmed, and supported. Janay has created something special, and I am deeply grateful. I cannot recommend High Vibe Bride highly enough.

At the end she convinced me to try a wildcard dress with an entirely different silhouette than I thought I had wanted but still retained other elements that I was looking for in a dress and I'm so glad she did because that ended up being the winner. I didn't end up purchasing a gown on the day of my appointment but it was easy to call back and purchase it over the phone.

Morgan did a great job of asking questions that helped our bride narrow things down, but she didn't pressure her at all in any direction. She was also protective of our bride.

I had a very specific vision for what I wanted in a dress that I couldn't find at the other three stores I went to.

It is a small boutique with very unique gowns. If that's what you are looking for (I was), then I would highly recommend this place! I am so grateful it was recommended to me!

Ricca Sposa saved my wedding and bridal experience. I originally ordered my Pronovias dress from a…read morelocal St. Louis bridal shop on 2/10/24. I was originally told that it would arrive in June. Then it turned into July, then October, and still nothing as of November 2nd. Went to the store and told me that it wasn't supposed to ship until November 13th with an unknown arrival date. After 9 months of waiting and empty promises, and only 6 months to go until my wedding day, I cancelled the order. After some research, I found Ricca Sposa to be the next closet Pronovias retailer - 4 hours away. Karina was amazing with everything being handled over the phone. She reassured me through the whole process and was extremely responsive with any questions I had. Without asking, they lowered the price to almost match the previous purchase cost from the other store. I ordered my dress in the afternoon of 11/2 and it already arrived to their store in the afternoon of 11/11. Karina was kind enough to call me the minute the dress arrived and sent a quick video before sending it off. It arrived at my house less than 24 hours later. As excited as I was, I forgot to message her and inform her of the arrival. She emailed me at 7 am this morning (the next day) to make sure I received it. I truly can't express how grateful I am for Karina making my dream dress become a reality during a stressful time.

First of all, the stylist we worked with was SO nice, fun, and helpful. She was five stars all the way. I loved the dresses she tried - all of them were gorgeous. The only reason I'm giving 4/5 and not 5/5 is because the building itself has seen better days and in comparison to some other bridal boutiques it just didn't have as much elegance (though was still very nice!) also it felt less intimate since there were probably 3-4 other fittings going on and you had to walk through at least one of them to get to our fitting room, which felt a bit awkward. Overall would I recommend? Absolutely! Is it the *best* experience in town, maybe not, but it's a close second.
