Sold the wrong dress size, way too big even after telling them what size. They insisted the sizing was different on gowns. Now won't fix and will have to spend $1000s on alterations. Don't shop here. Dishonest owner. read more

I'm crying typing this haha! This was such an amazing experience! Our stylist was Diana, she greeted us with grace and excitement. She went over how their process works, asked multiple questions, then pulled some dresses. We understood eachother and had great communication through the tears as they started flowing. I feel like she helped me capture my vision perfectly, that when I finally put that one on, I immediately knew and couldn't stop crying happy tears. I did not plan on buying a dress this day. This was only my fourth appointment, but the only appointment where I feel like I truly connected with my stylist and she understood my style, my vision, and my story which was very important for my dress to reflect. Also to mention the dress was is the price range I gave her from the start! There was no pressure to budge that price range or even buy a dress that day. It was just the one. Diana, I cannot thank you enough. read more

I found my dress! Devin made this experience such an amazing memory. She was so kind and so patient with me while I figured out what I wanted as a bride. She helped me find the perfect dress and I could not recommend her and this beautiful store enough! read more

My shopping experience back in late 2020 looking for a dress, during covid, at Lovely Bride was as amazing as I wanted it to be. I had gone to a few stores in Austin, before heading to Lovely Bride in Houston. The brands they carry are very "modern bride" and a lot of options going from boho to sophisticated, and all in a reasonable price range. The store is SO CUTE, and my experience with Tiffany was the best, we had a video chat ahead of my visit, and she listened to what I wanted and didn't want, and made the best selection for me! I had such a fun time, even during Covid, everything was perfect. Also, my dress was supposed to come in April, and I ended up receiving it super early, at the end of December, the best surprise to start 2021. I highly recommend to go to Lovely Bride and hope you have the best time picking your dream dress! read more

Mistakes made on dress fitment and refusal to correct it. For such an expensive product we expected to get the right proportions and to have the alterations made to fix the mistake. read more

Went wedding dress shopping here with my sister and it was not a good experience. They do not let you look at what is on the showroom at all. You must stay in your dressing room the entire time. Our consultant didn't listen well to our feedback on dresses and kept bringing in dresses that didn't match the brides descriptions/asks. She was rushing us out and kept saying that we had reached our 90 minute time limit when we had only been there for 75 minutes. We were on time to our appointment, we feel like she was trying to rush us out. She also never followed up with the details on our favorite dress as promised. Very disappointed. I would absolutely not recommend making an appointment here. read more

Sydney was marvelous and very professional. She does her job well! Definitely made the experience smooth for us.

Warning: Don't come here if you are looking to be able to browse their dresses. I was extremely sad and disappointed with my experience there on 8/4. I started off excited to visit bc my sister-in-law purchased her wedding dress at Lovely a year ago, but I have come to find out that her experience was completely different than mine. To start, an employee called me on Mon to set up a time for my stylist and me to chat, so I told her Wed at 12 would work. I blocked off my calendar, had my profile already filled out & skipped my lunch, only to have no one call me. When I showed up to the apt, our stylist took us to a room where we were told that there was a "STRICT NO BROWSING policy" and was handed an ipad and told this would be how I could choose a dress...?? We were all very confused by this. Nowhere is this mentioned online or in any of my emails with them. I really wish this would have been disclosed to me prior to paying a deposit, having everyone drive in town and try to find parking (there is none, we all had to walk a few blocks in 100 deg heat). My other notes were that the robe I put on in my room was stained/dirty. I found it very unprofessional when the stylist asked me in front of my entire group what my budget was, this should have been done in private. She also never brought me to the front room to see some of the dresses in the natural light by the windows. We were in the small back room the entire time until my planner at the very end asked if I could come out. Overall I was disappointed in my experience and their lack of response to me after I sent a follow up email. Hopefully in the future they will let brides know that they are no longer able to browse dresses in-store and be better at following up with clients. read more

Diana is the SWEETEST, most attentive bridal attendant! She is so genuine and helpful. This is my third time in the store. I picked up my gown and she helped me find a veil in my price range that could work with 2 dresses - that are both very different (Cancun wedding, and Church wedding). Anyway, she understands that a bride can be indecisive and may need to see/try on options several times before making up her mind, and Diana never once made me feel rushed or inconvenient. She made me feel beautiful and she truly offered great feedback without being pushy on any type of product. In other words, she never tried to upsell you. It was like having your good friend there who is also a professional! - 5 stars, and I have even recommended Lovely Bride (and Diana specifically) to my friend who is getting married in the fall. :) read more

Oh my goodness where do I even start?! This experience was truly so wonderful! First and foremost, if you are lucky enough to get Diana as your girl for the session, you are in for a TREAT! She was so fun, friendly, and so helpful! Love her! To be fair though, all of the ladies are absolute gems and I can't wait to come back for my dress pick up just to visit! They carry truly beautiful dresses and accessories that any bride to be would love. I know I did! If you are debating on checking this place out, consider this your sign to make that appointment and go have a LOVELY time! read more

Can't say enough of great things about Amy! Not only did she find the perfect wedding dress for me, but she was like family throughout the entire process. Before I arrived, she had done her research about me and contacted designers so I knew which dresses could arrive in less than 12 weeks! She then gave her honest opinion about dresses and celebrated with us when we found it! Thank you Amy! read more

Such a great experience! On Sunday June 26th my ladies and I met with Diana to pick out THE dress. The shop is absolutely gorgeous and we were led into a spacious dressing room (I brought 6 people with me and we were comfortable). My party was given champagne and Diana was so sweet to all of them! I had picked out tons of dresses from the online wish list to try on and was feeling very overwhelmed but Diana expertly led me through the process. She made me feel so comfortable the whole time and was so kind and calming. The selection of dresses she chose for me from my wish list were so perfectly curated and I just let her lead the appointment because her fashion instincts are SO good. We ended up easily choosing a dress during the appointment and it was such a surreal experience. Diana also was very respectful of my budget (which we had discussed during a brief consultation call) which made the process much easier. I would highly recommend all brides to be check out lovely and ask for Diana! read more

Lovely Bride - Me and my ladies after picking a dress! - Bridal Near Me - Houston, Texas

Sophia was so patient and kind with me! I'd tried on 50+ dresses and so picky with what I was looking for! She never once pressured me into buying a certain dress and listened to what I was looking for. In fact, she pulled the perfect gown that ended up being "the" dress! The staff is kind and welcoming, and the space is so warm and inviting!! Highly recommend. read more

Sydney was great in Houston. I live in Dallas but my family is from Houston so we found out dress and did the fitting in Houston. Sydney is going to ship my veil to Dallas when it's ready. Couldn't have had a better experience!! read more

Amazing experience at Lovely Bride in Houston! Tiffany was INCREDIBLE to work with. She was so kind to let us come in for an appointment at the end of the day, and stayed well past closing with us. She had wonderful positive energy the whole appointment even when I arrived feeling overwhelmed in my wedding dress search. She listened and had so many wise words to help me identify the look I wanted. I had such a magical experience with my mom and sister and found "the one" at Lovely Bride!! Tiffany was so encouraging the whole appointment and had impeccable timing with champagne when I said yes to the perfect dress!! Thank you Tiffany!! Overall, I went to 5 bridal salons in Austin and Houston and would would say Lovely Bride as my favorite by far in terms of experience and dress selection! My sister also found her dress at Lovely Bride in NYC and had a great experience. We are #lovelybridesisters and would recommend to anyone !! read more

I had the most amazing experience at Lovely Bride and said YES to the dress! My stylist Sophia, was the sweetest and made me feel gorgeous the entire time! She was inquisitive and most accomadating. From the moment we walked in, it was a total vibe! My bride tribe was greeted with wine and I loved that they allowed all four of them to come (unlike other boutiques). Cutest bridal boutique in Houston with an amazing, affordable and well curated selection of dresses + accessories! read more

I'm in a wedding this coming January. The bride is extremely relaxed and allowing the bridesmaids to get their own dresses within a color palette and style range. I'm having my friend create a dress for me. He lives in New York and needed me to get some measurements. I walked in and Sarah took street care of me. I showed her the measurements I needed, asked me a few questions I didn't know, and gracefully took a phone call with George who is making the dress so she could fully understand what he wanted. The measurements she took, about 10-15, took about 5 minutes to take and was free of charge! I would highly recommend this store for the customer service alone. I walked around after to look at the gowns. They are all gorgeous. They even have a white suit that my houston friend might check out for her wedding in February. I recommended them right away! read more

This boutique is so much larger and has way more variety than I expected! I had an appointment with Imani - listen, she is a queen. She was incredibly personable and took very good care of me (as a bride), especially with the 5 people I brought along! She was great about reading my face when I tried dresses on and gave me a lot of options. If you get an appointment here, I would definitely recommend her! read more

Lovely Bride was amazing! Their store is beautiful, you're given your own private space for your family and friends, and they make you feel so special. Sophia was absolutely amazing - she was kind, helpful, receptive, and just overall perfect. She even found the dress I ended up getting! BEST stylist ever. read more

If you are looking for a dress in the houston area you MUST go here! I went to three different places to try on wedding dresses and this was the best experience BY FAR. A week before the appointment, they called to request a 15 min consultation to learn more about what types of dresses you were looking for, price range, style, etc. Of all the appointments I had, this was the only dress shop that did that. When we arrived, they offered champagne and once I found "the one" they offered a bottle of champagne to pop to celebrate! It was a lot of fun. Plus, the people who work here are genuinely interested in your life and the details of your wedding. They were the only shop that asked what my fiancés name was, how we got engaged, how long we've been dating, etc. LOVE Lovely and it was such a great way to kick off the bridal festivities. read more

Diana was the lovely lady who helped me find my perfect dress for my wedding! She was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the dresses and styles (they had so many to choose from!) and she paid a lot of attention to my needs when I was with her. She took the time to get to know me and what I was wanting. She asked all of the right questions to make sure I knew this was what I wanted as well. She made me feel so comfortable and helped me with my anxiety about the whole process. I absolutely love her and couldn't have been happier with what this store offers read more

Loved the selection of unique gowns and loved loved the space. Cat worked with us and she was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to knowing my style and the look I was going for. It was a great experience, however it would have been better had I not felt rushed. I paid in full (all but $40) for my dress and she was so busy getting ready for the next bride that she forgot about taking a picture with the "I said yes" sign and veil options. I just felt very rushed even though I had just paid a pretty penny. The picture didn't exactly come out how I'd have liked it but what can I do now, that experience is gone. Wonderful selection of unique gowns and prices are great for what you are getting. Wish I had a little more special attention during my appointment. read more

I had my consult with Sophia and she was absolutely amazing. She helped me find the dress I wanted and what initially was supposed to be a fun appointment to get my feet wet turned into me finding the dress! Thank you Sophia for helping me with such a special moment. read more

My photographer recommended Lovely to me and I am SO glad she did! I found my perfect dress and I had so much fun in the process. I had an awful experience at a popular Bridal gown shop prior to visiting Lovely (cough, BHLDN, cough) and Lovely made me feel so much better about everything. Cat was such a great person to work with. She listened carefully to what I [thought] I wanted, gave me ample time to pick out some to try on, and then once I didn't love any of the ones I picked out, she gently suggested I try one that I was skeptical about and GUESS WHAT?! It was the one! I wish I could give them 5 stars but for a couple of reasons, I just can't: - When I said yes to my dress, there was no offer of bubbly. I guess I must have gone in with a bit of a misunderstanding about what bridal gown shopping would be like. But this was a disappointment to me. I always envisioned that champagne bottle 'pop' when I found my dream gown! When I went back to pick up my dress, my sister made sure we brought our own bubbly to celebrate that, so it turned out fine in the end. - The timeline they gave me for my dress to come in was 4-5 months, which was totally fine with me -- we ordered my dress a year prior to the wedding. The dress ended up taking only 3 months to come in (which, of course this is much better than it being delayed) but I was traveling overseas and I couldn't get back to the US to pick up my dress for another month and a half. I explained my circumstances and they still charged me a weekly fee for holding my gown. I understand it's their policy but if there was any other way for me to retrieve the gown on time, I would have. I was hoping for a bit more grace and understanding. With all that said, I still had such a great experience and I found my perfect dream gown so all in all, I would definitely recommend Lovely for all brides-to-be! read more

By far the best bridal experience you can have!! Lovely Bride is full of unique dresses and the staff is beyond amazing. I had a "hard time" because every single dress I tried on was beautiful and I almost couldn't pick a favorite.... I wanted them all! Cat was so helpful and experienced and asked questions that made me narrow it down and realize which dress was right for me. I couldn't have done it without her!! No other shop compares to Lovely Bride in Houston. read more

My daughter lives in California and was due to arrive for a very short visit over Thanksgiving. I made an appointment - and paid to secure it - a month ago. One week before our appointment I was informed that we could only keep it if we had a REQUIRED phone interview on a Sunday. My daughter works a 12 hour hospital shift that day. I sent a couple of pictures in hopes that would suffice and suggested that maybe she could conduct this interview via email. Sophia informed me that they didn't have any gowns we would like. "I'm sorry to say that I don't have a selection that matches your daughter's style. I would hate to waste your time.." Interesting that I see several pictures of gowns similar to her tastes on Lovely's yelp site. So glad that I dodged this bullet, customer service must be horrible. read more

Ah-mazing! Everyone was so nice and inviting. I never felt pressured! Diana was great and helped me find THE ONE! I highly recommend them if you're in store for finding a beautiful gown! read more

This was my first stop in looking for a dress. My style is very simple and classic. I did have a somewhat limited budget, but was disappointed that there weren't more simple dresses. They had many beautiful trendy dresses, but not much similar to what I was looking for. I appreciated that they were able to show me dresses I could get in time, as my wedding is 7 months away. The stylist I worked with was very energetic. read more

I came here last December and the whole experience was a dream! When I started my dress search, my favorites were from Rue de Seine and Lovers Society. And Lovely Bride Houston is the only one in Texas that had both. So I drove from Austin to Houston for the day to find my dream dress. First off, the shop is so cute. It has such a welcoming feel to it. Tiffany helped me and she was amazing to work with. I showed her the dress that was my number one pick and she grabbed it while I picked out other dresses on my wish list. I tried on my dream dress first (which ended up being the one) and she asked the most helpful questions. She also pointed out positives to the dress and really had me analyze the dress. I honestly could've said yes after the first dress, but I was so glad to get the full experience. Each dress I tried on after, she would ask if it beat my dream dress or if it was just another pretty dress. Each dress was absolutely gorgeous and Tiffany definitely got my style with each dress she had picked. All in all, I'm so glad I made the trip to Lovely Bride. It has been one of my favorite memories and has been one of the most positive things about planning a wedding in a global pandemic. read more

I was helped by Tiffany and had a great experience here! I had a specific request of a bridal jacket to pair with the dress I already had purchased. Lovely Bride was very accommodating. Tiffany was helpful and kind. Definitely made me feel welcome. The bridal areas are nice and private in this boutique which is nice. There are spaces for your crew to sit and enjoy without the whole salon having a full view of every dress you try on. Definitely would recommend for brides! read more

I loved shopping at Lovely! Sophia was SO nice and helpful and knew exactly what I was looking for

I made a first-thing Sunday appointment at Lovely Bride back in March, and it was the best time to go. We were the only ones in the store! Emily was my sales consultant, and she was such a pleasure to work with! I went in knowing exactly which dress I wanted, having tried it on previously, but Emily still made the appointment interesting, fun, and she gave her opinion/input exactly the way I needed it. My sister, my mom and I couldn't say enough positive things about our time at Lovely Bride. Can't wait to go back and pick up my dress! read more

I was here two weeks ago getting my dress. I wasn't expecting to buy anything on this day but when I Tiffany had me try on this particular dress - my mom and bridesmaids were like yep this is the one just shut up and take it lol. It was was beautiful on and I cannot wait for it to come in! We took lots of pics of me in it and I keep going back to look at them. Our time there was such an experience for me my mother and my friends, I would def recommend this place to anyone looking for a dress and I would def recommend getting helped my Tiffany - she's amazing! Felt like another friend in the room with me . All in all, if you're thinking of adding this place to your list - do it! read more

The gentleman that assisted me was so professional and nice. I wish I would've gotten his name. That being said, he encouraged me, at times, to try on dresses outside of my budget, which I didn't appreciate. I didn't want to fall in love with a dress that I can't afford. In general, this place is overpriced for their inventory. It's a pretty atmosphere, but didn't deliver when it came to the dresses. I had far more success at Impression Bridal, which I didn't expect. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better experience at Lovely! I had Tiffany as my Consultant and she was a dream. The boutique is stunning and has designs for every style of Bride. Tiffany was very helpful and walked me through the whole process. She was very personable and made the process so easy. I said YES to the dress and so happy with my decision! read more

Lovely Bride was 1 of 4 stops I visited as a part of a whirlwind wedding dress shopping weekend. This was definitely the appt I was most excited about as I was in love with Anna Campbell's (AC) designs & thought for sure I was going to end up wearing an AC gown to my wedding. AC is exclusive to Lovely Bride in Houston. My group of 5 & I arrived 2 minutes late for our 1:45 appt, & were greeted by an unenthusiastic girl - Jessica. She said she was just finishing up with a bride & would be right with us pointing us to the seating area. We excitedly ogled the 5 AC gowns & admired a bridesmaid dress for my MOH. About 15 minutes passed & we were directed to a fitting room. Shockingly, Jessica was completely alone on a Saturday. She started by asking me a few questions about what I was looking for & I happily told her I was there to try on their AC gowns. Which is when she snipped back - "I know. I read your email" adding an actual eye roll. Ok. She then went on a spiel of her "process" & how she limits a 1st appt to 5 gowns (odd since no other salon limited me, much less capped me at such a low #). She then directed me to the racks & told me to flip out any dresses I was interested in so she could take them back to the room for me. I pulled a taffeta strapless sweetheart gown - the material was so different from anything I'd tried. I did later notice how crazy beat up it was - black along the neckline, stains throughout, even tears! I reached the AC rack & flipped out 4. That's when Jessica approached me asking if I had a favorite as she didn't want to pull all of them. I told her my absolute favorite (to be honest, it was my #1 contender), though I thought it might be a bit over budget - I wanted to try it on. Which is when she told me she flat out will not put me in anything over budget. I get it. But. I have worked retail - if someone is in your store, no matter what they say, they are open to a purchase. If I am telling you that I WANT to try a dress on, it's because I know that if it's THE dress, I can make it work. Did not say this, but firmly told her that I wanted to try on that dress because I need to at least know if it's the one or not. It's my only chance. I found one last dress that I flipped around for me to try upping my total to 6 dresses. We start by trying on my #1 top pick - gorgeous with beading throughout. I really liked it but I didn't feel like a bride so asked to try a veil with it. "Oh, no. You can't wear a veil with a beaded dress." What? No bride with a beaded dress wears a veil with her dress. Period. End of story. Gospel. Are you kidding me?! My entire party & I were stunned silent. She then said the veil would surely snag the dress & while veils blown up by the wind look lovely in photos, the veil & beading get ruined & it's just not done. Seeing how this appt was going, I said, "Well, that is certainly something to consider, as I have always wanted a veil for my wedding day." In reality - Jessica did not want to snag the beading on their sample, even though she was kissing a huge sale goodbye. She just kind of shrugged & we moved on through the rest of the appointment. She apathetically asked me some questions. I'm a polite person & noticed she had an engagement ring on so I asked if she was engaged. Yes. So I started asking her questions about her wedding. That is literally the most excited she was for the entirety of my appt. Even when we stopped talking to step out to show my party a dress, she resumed as soon as the curtain closed talking about her wedding. After I'd tried the torn taffeta, a dress my mom had pulled, & 3 ACs, I inquired about the 4th AC. She couldn't remember which one it was & based on her vague descriptions, I couldn't either. She told me I only had time for one more dress (a lie. She was cutting my appt time) and brought one back. Which is when my sister & bridesmaid (who are both married & have been through many wedding dress appts) commented through the curtain so she could hear about the time & how we started late. I asked to see the other. She took that one out & brought the other back. I told her I preferred the first. She let out an annoyed huff and got the 1st dress. She never brought back that 6th gown. She coolly asked me if my #1 AC was THE dress. I told her I had to think about it since the veil "issue" was something to consider. She said she'd update my file, & write it down for me. That's when her next appt showed up & she immediately showed them to their room. Jessica shorted me 15 minutes on my appt because SHE was running behind, did not bring me all the dresses I wanted to try (& had time to try), was rude to me (& my party), was most interested in talking about herself & her wedding, AND her behavior turned me off of my top choice & their salon. Truth is if I change my mind, I would never EVER set foot back in this place, let alone give this store my business. It's a shame, Cat seemed lovely during our phone conversations. read more

STUNNING! This place takes the intimate boutique vibe to an elevated level. The gowns are gorgeous, the environment is picturesque, and the service is spectacular. Trenard is simply THE BEST!!! He really takes the time to hear what you want and he makes every effort to find the perfect dress just for you. We had the joy of meeting Erica as well. She was full of knowledge and really knew each designer's collection. Take my advice- Go to Lovely Bride!!! read more

I can't stop gushing about Lovely Bride Houston! From start to finish, Cat made my dress shopping experience absolutely perfect! It was a total blast, 100% stress-free and WAY EASIER than what I built up in my head going into it. Houston brides, this spot is brand new but it is a MUST SEE! I made the drive down from Austin, and I'd do it again in heartbeat. As someone with a modern, minimalist aesthetic, I was worried I'd have a hard time finding a boutique that really fit my vibe. Thankfully, Lovely Bride totally gets it, and the designers they carry offer something for every type of cool, modern bride out there. But more than the inventory, it was Cat's amazing, friendly and professional demeanor that really won me over early on, before they had even officially opened their doors. Since my sisters live across the country from me, we were hoping to try on dresses while they were in town for Thanksgiving. Even though the store was in the midst of a build-out, Cat happily accommodated my family by setting up an appointment in her (beautiful) office. I recently returned with my mom and several bridesmaids, and once again Cat was a rockstar. She maintained an extremely body-positive environment and never once made me feel anything less than gorgeous, even when the sample size was a wee bit too snug. I also really appreciated the variety of samples they carry. Some were definitely too small, but my concerns about shopping as a size 12 were very quickly put at ease by their selection and, when needed, her magic with clips. Cat offered great advice, and really connected with me and my group in a way that felt like she was part of the party. Also, you could tell she's extremely knowledgeable about bridal design and fashion and absolutely loves helping women find the dress that makes them feel confident and beautiful. As a salesperson, she put my needs as a bride ahead of her own, so I knew she wasn't ever going to pressure us into a sale if we weren't ready. I really enjoyed the time she took to ask me questions before pulling dresses, and she consistently listened to my feedback and read my body language. As someone mentioned earlier, they do recommend a limit on the number of dresses you try on in an appointment, which I definitely appreciated. It can be so overwhelming, and a lot of options can be narrowed down before even pulling dresses with good communication. Fortunately, I had a pretty clear vision in mind of what I wanted, but Cat was able to pull a few fun/unexpected choices for me too. I didn't feel restricted or like my experience was in any way cut short, and I got the feeling that I could have pushed to try on more if I felt unsatisfied. If you have no idea what you want and plan to try on hundreds of different styles of dresses, maybe go to a different store first to narrow down the scope before heading to Lovely. Also just want to gush over the BEAUTIFUL store! It's designed so thoughtfully, there were concurrent appointments happening, but we felt like the store was ours. Also, with wonderful use of natural light and lots of standout elements-the y'all neon sign, the marble wall, the to-die-for blush velvet sectional, that pink ombre exterior-it's the perfect place for celebratory she-said-yes-to-the-dress group pictures. read more

I was really excited that Houston had a LovelyBride location after stalking them on Instagram. This boutique is really sweet and quirky, and I think their dresses really reflect that. I went in to try a dress by Louvienne, which is only available at LovelyBride, and of course I loved it. They were also having a trunk show, so it was 10% off. Definitely check their website to book appointment and look for trunk shows. My appointment was a Thursday afternoon, and I had the entire boutique to myself! My consultant was Cat, who was absolutely awesome. I was very overwhelmed with wedding dress shopping, and she was able to make it a wonderful experience for me. I would definitely stop by LovelyBride and check out their collection!! Parking is a little ehh in the area, but it is Montrose so that is to be expected. read more

Truly the BEST! The most inviting and exciting atmosphere for finding your dream dress!
