So happy with my experience here! My stylist was River and she was so sweet and attentive at listening to what I was looking for. We were offered water or wine seltzers and never felt rushed the entire process. I'm so happy with the dress I chose and she even let me put on a veil for the full effect. There's a lot of dresses in all different price ranges here and she made sure to only pull things in my budget. 100% recommend lovely bride! read more

Lovely Bride - Bridal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My daughter found her dream dress at Lovely Bride. Thank you for making her dream a reality!

The best experience finding my dress! As someone who was very overwhelmed and stressed about finding a wedding dress, I loved that they take the time to do a survey of what you're looking for, and that I was able to browse the dress inventory beforehand, I felt like my vision and budget was understood, respected, and uplifted. Holly was amazing - so friendly, patient, and made the whole process feel effortless and exciting. I never felt rushed or pressured--just fully supported. Highly recommend!!! read more

Lovely Bride - I said yes! - Bridal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Review of lovely bride philly: I booked an appointment for 2/1/25 to go dress shopping. While waiting for this appointment my grandmother got diagnosed with als and started declining very quickly. I ended up going somewhere else and finding a dress so she would at least be able to see me in a wedding dress. I had already paid for a deposit for the appointment and my future sister in law got engaged so I asked her if she wanted to take my appointment! I called lovely bride to see if I could just put the appointment in her name, which I was told no I would have to cancel the appointment and not be refunded and then she would be charged that fee as well. I spoke to a sales woman as well as a manager explaining the situation and understanding that I knew I was cancelling the appointment but I also was making sure someone was going to shop there. There was no understanding, compassion, or resolution offered by either staff member. read more

I had visited a couple bridal shop before lovely bride, and I was really hoping that lovely bride had what I was looking for, but more importantly, a great experience. Jessica was my stylist, and she was *chef's kiss*. She was confident, efficient, intentional, and read the vibes very well. Most importantly, I felt like she was invested in my journey to find my dress which I did not feel at my other shops! It wasn't just going through the motions, she really tried to find something that worked for me, and... we found it!!!!! We had another bridal shop appointment after but they were so understanding, and not even 10 min into my other appointment I couldn't stop thinking about my dress. I ended up calling back to buy it and they were so understanding, Jessica brought me back in, put me in the whole look, and let me enjoy my moment. Jessica was the best! I'd recommend her to anyone read more

The experience was nice. It was unique that you have to pick your dresses out ahead of time on their website. I walked in to see a lot of beautiful dresses on the walls but was brought to a dressing room and never saw them again before leaving so I wish I had been able to sort through them because some of them really caught my eye on the walk out. read more

My experience at Lovely Bride was, well...lovely! My stylist Mahdiya was absolutely wonderful. She had my dresses already pulled that I had saved beforehand on my profile. If there was a dress I wasn't sure about or completely sold on, she helped me rule them out without being pushy (which I was thankful for because it is easy to become indecisive with so many options.) I had my heart set on one dress that I hadn't even realized was available at this location. I was thrilled when I realized it was in stock and I could try it on! It was ultimately the one I picked, but the other options that Mahdiya suggested were great recommendations in line with my taste and body type. She even helped me choose a veil which compliments the dress perfectly. My appointment at Lovely Bride was everything I could've hoped for on such an important and special day. My mom and I had a wonderful experience and I can't recommend it enough! read more

Lovely Bride - Bridal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have been drooling over a Sarah Seven gown that I saw on Instagram and I was in town for vacation. I called the week prior and made an appt. I got there and I was blown away by the service and shop. There must be over two hundred dresses there. I tried on so many Sarah Seven gowns and I wanted to live in them all, but my final choice was an instant yes when I put it on. Lyssa was so kind and helpful and really helped me narrow down what I liked vs what I loved. Rachel picked out the most perfect earrings to help me accessorize the dress. This was my overall favorite bridal appointment and I left with the dress of my dreams. Would 100% recommend to any bride. I also got a free bottle of rosé to celebrate my purchase!! Cheers! Ps. Will post a picture after my big day read more

Lovely Bride - Free bottle of rosé to celebrate the dress of my dreams! Thank you, Lyssa and Rachel! - Bridal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

THIS. IS. THE. PLACE. After 2 other disappointing bridal shop experiences, I'm so glad the 3rd time was a charm at this charming little shop in Olde City. I'm a very non-traditional bride and I haven't spent my childhood dreaming about the wedding dress I would someday wear (i.e. I'm clueless). I am also heavily tattooed and struggling to find a dress that would accentuate my tattoos and not clash with them. At each of my other bridal appointments (first at BHLDN and then Philadelphia Bridal Company), I was very upfront about my bridal cluelessness. I really needed a little hand-holding, but left those other stores feeling pressured and rushed and no closer to understanding what dress was right for me. Lyssa, my Bridal Stylist, made me feel comfortable and welcome from the get-go. She was happy to share her expertise about what may or may not work for my figure, my body art, and my budget. She was easygoing and fun to work with- and she kept things moving! I was able to try on about 6 or 7 dresses in the same 1-hour appt time that somehow only afforded me 3-4 try-ons at the other shops. The selection @ Lovely Bride Philly is great ( I honestly could have been happy in any of the dresses I tried on), the store is cute and clean, and the location is convenient. If you are a boho/non-traditional/alternative bride who doesn't want to break the bank, hit up Lyssa @ Lovely Bride!! read more

See all

Taylor was fantastic - she showed me a variety of dresses that matched my criteria and helped me find a style that I loved. I went to 9 different wedding dress stores and tried on around 40 dresses and the best was here at Lovely. They were able to keep within my budget too. Although they don't have a tailor on site, they provided a list of suggested tailors, which is a nice way of allowing options while still ensuring quality. Lovely was so helpful - I loved my experience here! read more

Lovely Bride - My dress to go! Very cute! - Bridal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My Mom and I had been waiting for this appointment for weeks, she is terminally ill and just wanted to have a fun day of wedding dress shopping. I can't believe how horrifically rude they were to us. You would think we hadn't paid $25 just to spend 30 minutes trying on dresses. It was so unpleasant we left early. The dresses are filthy dirty and the staff is obviously very unhappy. I will never set foot back in that place and highly recommend that others not ruin a happy day here either. read more

After going to three other dress shops, trying on over 50 dresses and not falling in love with any, a couple friends recommended I try going to Lovely Bride. I checked out their website to see what kind of a selection they had, saw two that I really liked and scheduled my appointment. Lizzy was my consultant and was so great to work with. The first dress I put on was one of the two I'd come in to try and before it was even fully on my body, I knew it was my dress. It's so perfect, so comfortable and had almost all the details I'd been looking for -- Lizzy answered allllll of my questions, made the process super easy and we just ordered my dream dress yesterday. She was so sweet, her energy was perfect and I'm SO happy with the dress I ended up with! I can't wait to wear it!! read more

I had the perfect experience wedding dress shopping at Lovely. The first great thing was that I had a private space to try on dresses-- no bustle or interaction with other groups, so it felt very special. The vibe was upbeat but calm, so I could think and talk through the dresses with my mom. The real MVP, though, was Taylor, our amazing and very professional stylist. She helped me get in and out of the gowns and pinned them so I could see how they would look with tailoring. We didn't feel rushed at all- Taylor was very adept at knowing what I should try on next as we narrowed down the list. It can be challenging to know what works before you're actually trying on gowns, and I ended up loving something different from what I originally envisioned. We were able to cross a bunch of options off my list right away when I tried on a dress in that style and knew it wasn't for me. This efficiency meant we had time to try on my top two favorites again, with veils, and time to take videos so I had something to refer to when trying to decide later. I didn't feel any pressure to commit, but at the same time the staff were very clear about pricing and timelines, and gave me a list of tailors-- they let me know to call right away, and the seamstress confirmed that she was booking up quickly, and she was really glad I had taken their advice to call ASAP. So, if you're looking for a really professional, calm, warm group of women to help you find your ideal wedding gown, I really couldn't recommend Lovely more highly. This is how the experience should be! If I could change one thing about my dress shopping day, I would have stopped shopping after my visit to Lovely, and had a nice brunch instead of going to look anywhere else. read more

This was my second appointment and I was deeply disappointed in both the service and the sample size selection. I booked an appointment here on the recommendation for of my SIL, who has a much smaller frame. I am a size 22, and was somewhat suspect, but I loved their selection so much that I made an appointment. Lovely Bride advertises itself as size inclusive, but they do not carry many size 20, 22 or 24 dresses in this store. I gave my stylist my street size before the appointment, and was clear which dresses I wanted to try on. My stylist tried to squeeze me into dresses that were two or three sizes too small, instead of using clips. It made for an uncomfortable and unpleasant shopping experience. I did ultimately purchase a dress here but only after I double and tripled checked the size my stylist was ordering. I would not recommend this store for anyone over a size 16. There are other places you can take your business that will make you feel beautiful. read more

I had such a wonderful experience with Lovely Philly from start to finish. I first reached out to Lovely because I was hoping they would be carrying a very, very new Watters gown that hadn't been released yet. As it turns out, the official release date was cutting it too close to my wedding date to get me the dress in time. Enter: Ivy. She was so helpful, patient, and kind - and was somehow able to get a sample dress on loan from the designer for me to try on and subsequently order?! Above and beyond doesn't begin to cover it. Fast forward to my appointment to try on the gown - I was lucky enough to work with Hannah, who was an absolute delight. She had wonderful energy, and was so helpful. She answered every single question of mine, took photos for me, and encouraged me to FaceTime my people, as I had come to my appointment solo. She was truly a gift and the type of person you hope will be helping you when making such a big, emotional decision. I couldn't be more grateful to the entire Lovely team, particularly Ivy and Hannah, for all of the kindness and generosity. I love my gown so much and couldn't recommend them more! read more

BEST experience & shop, I want to do it again! Hannah was my coordinator for my appointment and she could not have been any better! She had my 3 top picks lined up and I tried on maybe about 10 dresses total. I ended up selecting my 2nd dress. Hannah was so great with my mom, future MIL, and sister - she had no problem redirecting decisions to me, which I SO appreciated. I also didn't feel any pressure to pay for the veil yet, she did write down the name/cost/designer of the one I liked in case I would like to order it down the line. I absolutely loved this shop and it's easily located next to Penn's Landing with lots of parking. read more

Lovely Bride Philly did an amazing job helping me find my dress. Their online survey before I came in helped me narrow my thoughts in order to help me find the perfect dress. My stylist was super helpful and did a great job following covid-19 protocols (gloves and a mask). I was asked to wash my hands as soon as I came in and the staff was great at sanitizing products in between clients. Thank-you for helping me find the one! read more

In the past couple of months I have been to Lovely Bride four times (I've been back to see accessories and to bring my mother and sister in to see the dress I purchased as they both live out of town). On my first visit I was taken care of by Ivy and on subsequent visits I have had the pleasure of working with Taylor. Lovely Bride was my very first stop and my one regret is not realizing that it could and should have been my last stop on the dress shopping train. When initiating dress shopping, I had no idea what I was looking for but knew that I wasn't interested in traditional bridal dresses. I left my first appointment loving the Belmont Dress but I knew it wasn't 100% what I was looking for. I came back to Lovely after some pretty horrendous visits to other bridal salons for a Sara Seven trunk show and fell in LOVE with a dress that will be mine in a few weeks! The service and care at Lovely Bride is unmatched. Despite being indecisive and needing quite a few appointments (plus facetiming in my mother who lives oversees), Taylor was patient, supportive and a true delight to work with! If you come across a/any reviews here talking about the staff here having a lack of personality, I'd like to reframe that as staff who are exceptionally professional. In my experience, all the folks I worked with here were attentive listeners, which created the time and space I needed to make my own decision about what dresses and styles I gravitated toward. Thanks to the entire team at Lovely! read more

Went on a Saturday for my sisters first ever dress shopping appointment. We were highly disappointed. Found lovely bride through a blog on the best Philadelphia bridal shops - but they must have a totally different experience than us. First of all, their selection of dresses is less than wonderful. But mostly, they asked my sister for her budget and she said it was "flexible". They restricted her to under a certain amount. Wouldn't even let her look or try on a dress they thought was out of her budget. Then, they don't let you actually look. They take the bride for a few minutes to get a general idea and then pick dresses based on that. Well a) they picked horrible dresses that weren't what she wanted, we'd try and describle other things, and they'd bring even worse options and b) when you first try on dresses you don't know what you like and what you don't so you need to try on a bunch of styles - they were too narrow minded in their selection. Finally, in going to other places, you can tell when the sales person helping you knows a lot about gowns and can help direct you. They also (when they are good) can help read the vibe. At lovely bride, the sales girl we had came off just like she wanted to sell a dress. She didn't seem to have much knowledge of bridal gowns, designers, etc. It was an ok shop but a really lackluster first dress shopping experience for my sister. We won't be going back. read more

A coworker recommended this shop to me because her future daughter-in-law found her dream dress there... I cannot thank her enough because I found my dream dress too! My stylist Mahdiya was such a delight! Working with her felt like I was getting styled by a friend. She was so knowledgeable and explained things about each garment as we tried them on. I felt like I learned so much about the pieces, as well as the ordering process itself. I should also note that Lovely was the only store I went to where the stylist helped me into my gown instead of leaving me in the dressing room to figure out the garment for myself. At our follow-up appointment, Mahdiya was extremely thorough in explaining the parameters of our contract. The process was super easy and I sealed the deal on my dream dress! I never write reviews (this might just be my first ever Yelp review) but Lovely Bride and Mahdiya were THAT good that I wanted to make sure they get the flowers they deserve! read more

I went to two Lovely Bride boutiques, including Philly, as wells as 3 other bridal shops. I definitely had the best experience at Lovely Philly. My consultant was Lizzy and she helped me pick out styles I liked and had already pulled some of my favorites from when I made my appointment. She also helped me get in and out of the dresses which was a huge help. The dress that ended up being my favorite was a dress that Lizzy pulled after learning my style and likes and dislikes - she knew what I liked more than me! Since I had a few other appointments after, but had a front runner, Lizzy wrote down the style and price of my dress and took my measurements so we could call back and order. I ended up going with the dress that Lizzy pulled for me and am so in love with it. Lovely had such an amazing selection of dresses and the experience there was exceptional. By far recommend to anyone looking for their wedding dress! Forgot to add - I loved how on the website you can see what dresses each store carries! read more

I was greeted right away by my stylist who brought me to the back to my dressing room. She had pre-picked out some dresses for me based off my emails to them which was nice. The selection of gowns were beautiful, although with COVID I was unable to browse the floor. Although I did not end up purchasing my gown here I would recommend it to those who are looking! read more

First off, Ivy, the store owner, is absolutely incredible. I've had nothing but amazing experiences with Lovely Bride. My wedding was rescheduled due to Covid and your girl gained some weight and had a meltdown when I couldn't fit into my dress. Ivy went out of her way to help me in any way possible including purchasing more fabric for my tailor on the stores dime AND dropping it off for me. The level of service and just human compassion is amazing. Would recommend to anyone ... read more

The Lovely Bride was the only store I visited to find my wedding dress. They made everything so easy! Before my appointment, I picked out a few dresses online, and they were ready for me to try on when I got to the store. Covid protocols like washing my hands when I arrived, a limited number of guests, and wearing masks made me feel super safe. They even offered a Zoom so that my faraway relatives could partake. I was so impressed by the way my stylist, Ivy, quickly helped me to get clear on what I liked and didn't like in a dress. It made me even more certain about "the one" when it came time to make my decision. Thank you to everyone at the Lovely Bride. I can't wait to wear my dress! read more

My stylist was awesome. She laid out my top 4 dresses before I got there and was super helpful in assisting me to find my dress. She was very patient and worked with both my mom and I . I was not rushed at all and felt very comfortable. I am happy I found my dress at lovely! read more

Jessica was incredible to work with, she understood my vision and helped me execute it to the T. She was both kind and patient. Highly recommend her and Lovely Bride. read more

My husband and I are renewing our vows on the beach in Cabo. I needed a lightweight gown, no train, something completely different from the original dress I'd worn. After scouring through hundreds of the wrong dresses online I finally found a designer I felt comfortable with. Luckily, Lovely Bridal carried her gowns!! After make an appointment with which I got in very quickly, I met with Hannah who, after reading my intake forms and listening ever intently to me blather on... she knew exactly how I wanted to look and feel! Wonderful experience and I left with my dress ordered and feeling very confident that I would look sensational on our day!! read more

My lovely stylist was Anyah. Due to COVID, when entering I was asked to wash my hands and was led to the bathroom by the shop owner. All stylists had on masks and gloves and in order to enter the shop, a mask was required and only 1 guest allowed. My guest and I appreciated how professional and serious they were taking the COVID safety requirements as it made us feel safe and comfortable! Within my one hour appointment with Anyah, I was able to try on all the dresses from my Lovely Bride Wishlist and 2 wild cards pulled by Anyah. I ended up having a top 3 and leaving without a dress but with time to sleep on it before making a final decision! This was such a plus considering other bridal shops I've been to which only allowed me to try 3-5 dresses during my one-hour appointment and then pressured me into making a decision as I was getting dressed. Once I left, I immediately sent my top 3 choices to my ladies in my Bride Tribe group chat, they fell in love with all 3! Beautiful boho & non-traditional dresses, kind/easy going staff, and clean would be words I would use to describe Lovely Bride Philly! Plus the location it is in is gorgeous! I can definitely see myself coming back soon and making the final decision for "the one". Thank you ladies for giving me a positive and memorable experience! read more

I can count on my hand the times in the past two years that I've worn a dress, but I decided I did want to wear one for my wedding. On my wedding day, I wanted to feel like a sorcerer from the future, an old-timey Hollywood starlet, or a powerful witch. My stylist Julie understood the assignment perfectly. She had a number of my selections available, and also suggested gowns that were within my vision. The result was a gown that I was absolutely in love with! Thank you, Julie, for being a part of my perfect wedding day. read more

Lovely Bride helped all of my boho dreams come true. As an out of town bride, I only visited the shop once with company and the other three times by myself. But I didn't feel by myself because all of the women who work there are so fun and complimenting. Even though I had a wonderful dedicated attendant, several other girls at the store came in to join in on my experience. They really care about their brides and I seriously love everyone that works there! Unlike my previous dress shopping experience in NYC at a different store, my girl at lovely completely understood my vision and pulled out several figure flattering styles that matched my vision and price point. This is was critical to success as I came from out of town and had a crew with me so I had to find the one! Although I loved every dress I tried on, I feel hard for the Rue De Seine poppy stardust and we all knew it was the one. I think my favorite time was trying on accessories by myself ( ps- GO there for accessories). I had so much fun with the attendants as it was right after the royal wedding and was really feeling a tiara but boho. They had the perfect boho tiara for me as well as a second halo option I loved. Want to diversify your ceremony and reception look? Get two head pieces! I've included pictures from my photographers ( shout out M2) of my dress and both headpieces. If you want to feel like a boho princess, lovely bride is the store for you. You won't regret it! read more

Lovely Bride - Boho dress of my dreams! Photo credit M2 Photography - Bridal Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I said YES to my dress here last week and it was an awesome experience! I called to make a same day 5pm (weekday) appointment after failing to find a wedding dress after 4 store visits (which included a large bridal store in Baltimore, one in Ardmore, and Pronovias and Romona Keveza flagships in NYC) in recent weeks. I'm not really known to be a picky person so when I failed to find "the" dress after multiple attempts I felt defeated. I had heard great things about Lovely Bride, but hesitated to make an appointment because for some reason I thought I wouldn't find enough options here given it's advertised to be more boutique like. The night before the appointment I was browsing on Lovely Bride's website and clicked on the designer Limor Rosen's link, and ended up falling in love w/ her collection. I called the following day and luckily was given a same day appointment time. Julie who helped me throughout the hour long appointment was very helpful and sweet. She listened to me, looked at my Pinterest dress photos to get a sense of what I liked and I didn't like, grabbed dresses that I would gravitate towards, and didn't get offended when I said..."ehhh, let's not waste our time" when I didn't want to try on certain ones. The entire experience felt very intimate, personal, and low-pressure. I tried on multiple designers' dresses here, ultimately choosing a Limor Rosen one. I highly recommend Lovely Bride to any future brides in the Philly area! read more

Eeek! I expected so much more. The dresses were literally dirty, I didn't get to browse the selection and I was only given the dresses my stylist (who has only worked there since november) picked out. It was my first bridal experience. My friends and mother were so horrified they didn't off water. We immediately went to BHLDN to browse after our really disappointing experience and didn't even have an appt, and they offered us water and champagne the moment we arrived! Not to mention if you have DD their sizes are not inclusive. Skip! Just strange all around. Listen to your brides, Lovely! Im a size 12/14 and was told all the dresses I favorited didn't come in my size. Really sucked as a first try on experience but learned a lot!! Offer your guests water! read more

So I came to Philadelphia to wedding dress shop with my mom. I had been to another location of Lovely bride so sort of knew what expect when it came to shopping. I believe my consultant was Rachel. She and everyone else were so great at this location! I didn't feel rushed or crowded like the other lovely location. Rachel listened to what I wanted/my vision and absolutely nailed it. She picked dresses that I hadn't seen or considered before. I ultimately ended up buying one of Rachel's picks. They even let me go a little over my time to put some accessories on with my top pick. Overall it was my best dress shopping experience. read more

I walked out of Lovely Bride without a dress, but have nothing but great things to say about my appointment with Jess. I had a lot of first time nerves but Jess made me feel at ease and not pressured to have a definitive opinion on every dress. My family loved the experience and had nothing but nice things to say after. We had 7 people total in our appointment and they all fit in our room! Jess also put me in a fit & flare, something I would have never chosen for myself but ended up loving. All the dresses were gorgeous, there is a wide selection. When we went to another salon in the city for our next appointment, the stylist there was honestly a little off-putting and had zero of the insightful input or enthusiasm as Jess did earlier that day. All in all: Make Lovely Bride one of your stops for wedding dress shopping and ask for Jess! read more

Went here last year for my sister's wedding dress. Ivy was WONDERFUL and I have such good memories of being there even a year later. While we didn't end up purchasing a dress here, I will be recommending this place to all my friends getting married in the future. The store itself is also so lovely and stylish. Such a great experience! read more

Can't say enough great things about this place!!! Everyone is so friendly and Kendall was so helpful and created such a great vibe. There happened to be a trunk sale which had my sister's absolute dream dress! She left so happy, this surpassed our expectations. Highly highly recommend. read more

Wow. Where do I begin? Lets start at the top. I booked my appointment online & they let you choose different time slots & each time is allocated to one of their fitting rooms & how many people I can bring. 1:00 Suite 2 (+3 people) 1:00 Suite 4 (+2 people) 2:00 Suit 1 (+2 people) It looked something like that. You choose your time & you choose your suite based on availability and maybe how many people you are bringing. So basically from the beginning the feeling is (you better not be bringing too many of your friends). Which I was only bring my MOH so whatever. I chose my time at 7PM on Wednesday night. Then the confirmation of my appointment arrived via email and reminds me that I ONLY GET ONE HOUR in the shop and it urged me "to arrive early or on time so that you get the most out of your 1 hour." This is the shortest bridal appointment I have had so far, most places say appointments are 75 minutes or 90 minutes but they also prefaced it with (if you go longer thats no problem!) Lovely's vibe was "you get one hour & one hour only because then we will kick you out", So I arrived early, 10 minutes early. I buzzed the buzzer with my MOH & we were greeted by a frantic stylist who ushered us in & told us to wait & that she would be right with us. So far no problem, we were early, so we would sit on couch. Cool. At 7PM she came back and apologized that they werent running on time and that we need to wait on the couch still. Now I know they have several "suites" as I booked online and I could have chosen one of several 7PM appointments for other rooms. So i assumed my suite wasnt the one running on time. But when the other bride finally left at 7:20 (when we were allowed to start our appointment) I saw that another stylist had been helping them, so why couldnt my stylist help me at the same time and put me in a different suite? There were at least two stylists there and I think 3 or more different suites and only one other bride. I did the math. Now lets back track for a moment to where we were still waiting in the front room. I got a little antsy at about 7:10 & walked back into the salon to just start peeking through the racks. As my MOH & I approached the first rack the girl (her name is Aleza) stepped out of the office & asked to please wait in the front room. I asked her if I could start looking at the dresses & she didnt say "no", she said "I will go through the dresses with you when the appointment starts". So I asked, "can I look at them now anyways to just start to get ideas?" (BTW there was no one in the show room but us the other bride was back in the dressing room) & she said no because she wanted the other bride to have space & not feel crowded by my MOH & I. So back we sit for another 10 minutes. Then at 7:20 my appointment starts. Aleza asks me the feel of my wedding & my budget, which I tell her is $1500-$3000. She takes me to the racks & starts to point out some dresses. She is pointing out things that are not what I described to her that I liked but she goes rack by rack with me & I try to start to look at things on my own and she is very disapproving & tells me that she wants to take me through every rack first, once we get through all the racks I now have "permission" to look through the dresses. My MOH & I start looking & when my MOH found something she thought I would like she tried to take it off the rack (keeping it on the hanger mind you) & show it to me, the stylist scolded her & told her not to take anything off the rack. As I started to find dresses I wanted to try on, she also told me not to take them off the rack myself, but she also wasn't taking them off either to go & hang them in dressing room, after selecting around 4 dresses & her not moving from her spot I said, "are you going to pull these for me?" she said, "I will pull them once you are finished selecting them" I replied, "wow you can remember them all exactly?" & she said snootily, "yes, I have been working here a long time, I know the dresses really well." As I go around the room I make it to the last rack of dresses & point one out that I want to try on & she says "that one is out of your price range", she reminded me throughout the process which were out of my price range. The dresses have price tags on them, I see the price. If I ask to try it on, let me try it on. ANYWAYS, we get to the fitting room, I am NOT a modest person, I dont mind if another girl sees me naked. But I had been to 4 other appointments before arriving at Lovely & all the stylists gave me the option of modesty, letting me step into the dresses myself & then they would come in & zip me up etc. She stood in the room the whole time & didnt let me touch any part of the dress. I have never felt more judged or vulnerable while being naked in front of a person. This was a full on bad experience from beginning to end. I left other apts hugging my stylist, I left there in a bad mood. Go to Philly Bride or Ashe B. & Co. They have wine too! read more

I worked with Sarah and Lissa at Lovely Bride over two appointments, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience! At the time I visited Lovely Bride, I had already been to 3 other boutiques and I knew what I wanted to try on. They pulled my 3 selections along with a few other knockouts. I was comfortable in their beautiful space, and I didn't feel like they were pushy and sales-y. I came back for my second appointment today and knew it was THE one! Even though I didn't have my mom or bridesmaids with me, the staff were so caring helping me Facetime with them. read more

Cute store. Pretty dresses. My staff help was Fine but sounded like she had been asking the same questions and a little disinterested . After trying on dresses I was convinced wedding dresses weren't my thing.
