We walked in seeing a mirror of names who made appointments and my stomach dropped. I walked in asking "do I need an appointment" and the woman said yes, however we can still help you. We browsed and I tried on dresses that I envisioned myself in, mermaid dress with lots of sparkles !! The owner Carrie came in and suggested I tried on a dress .... On the hanger I knew it wasn't my type. I tried on the dress and started crying. I found it. It still had the sparkles I wanted but plain on the bottom. I SAID YES TO MY DRESS !!! Forever grateful for Carrie for welcoming me in and showing me something different. The woman (forgive me I forgot her name) who did my fittings is also the seamstress ... absolutely amazing. The sweetest woman we bonded like I knew her for years !! We ended the night having a champagne toast that was peach flavored ! Very delicious and taking a boomerang in front of their back drop ! I will cherish the moments I had before closing with these woman. Two places we found on a whim - Blu rayne & Butterfields we're I'm hosting my wedding. Support local businesses because I will forever recommend this establishment Thank you Blu rayne for finding my forever dress & making me so comfortable & memorable ! They also sent me a card in the mail which is hanging on my fridge !! I cannot wait for the pictures and to send them a thank you card !

Alexa pulled dresses for me to try in styles I never thought I'd like and I fell in love with them. It's true that you don't know what you like until you try it on! The experience was personalized and fun, and after trying on (only) 7 dresses I said yes! I'd recommend Blu Rayne to anyone looking for any style. I'm sure all the staff are great, but I'd recommend Alexa or May!

Eileen at Bayshore Bridal was absolutely incredible. We came in with a party of ten, and she…read morehandled our group with so much grace, patience, and genuine enthusiasm. I had sent her my measurements ahead of time and came in with a very specific dress in mind -- but she encouraged me to stay open and pulled dresses I never would have chosen for myself. I'm so grateful she did. The dresses she selected were outstanding and completely changed my perspective in the best way. She also made the experience fun for everyone by getting all my girls involved and having each of them pick a dress for me to try. We laughed, we celebrated, and we truly had a blast. It was such a memorable, joy‑filled appointment. If you're looking for someone who really gets brides and knows how to create a magical experience, ask for Eileen.

I had my first consultation with Raffaella of Solotu Custom Gowns in St. James a little over a year…read morebefore my wedding with an image of a gown that I was looking to recreate. I agreed to her high price point as I was lead to believe that the gowns were custom made by Raffaella in house alongside her "team". After months of poor communication and even spans of complete lack of communication for consecutive months unless initiated by me or my mom, I began to worry as my wedding day was approaching and there was still no evidence that a dress even existed, despite being told that it was in production. A month out from my wedding and still no dress, I began to panic and we reached out demanding answers on when the dress would finally be completed. It was then that she admitted that the "team" that she was referring to was actually a manufacturer in Asia where she apparently outsources her gown production to. At this point, she provided pictures of a dress somewhere on another continent that was nowhere close to being completed. She had to have the dress rushed to completion in order to have it arrive in her studio with just under a month until my wedding day. I could never fully appreciate the dress because the whole situation made me so upset. I felt robbed of that beautiful moment of trying on my dress for the first time in front of my mom and being in awe together. The manufacturers in Asia did a fine job considering their time crunch, but the bustle and finger loop that she attached herself during alterations both snapped off within 2 hours of wearing the dress. She recently reached out asking for pictures of my dress so that she could promote it for her business. I kindly explained that my experience was not one that I was comfortable with encouraging to other brides. She responded with by far the most unprofessional, rude, and out of touch text that completely lacked accountability for her shortcomings and misleadings, while still encouraging me to send her pictures. This review only exists because its become clear to me that she has not taken this experience as an opportunity to learn and grow as a business, and I would feel awful knowing that another woman would spend her time, emotional energy, and money only to be met with an unbelievably stressful situation.

I am devastated. I entrusted my grandmother's wedding dress to Slubia in July, asking her to tailor…read morethe bodice to my measurements and replace the pleated tulle skirt that had been damaged by moths. I made it very clear how important this dress was to me, as I planned to wear it for my own wedding. It is now September 29th, just two weeks before my wedding, and the dress is unwearable. The bodice does not fit, and the skirt is not pleated, nor does it fall properly over the underskirt. Instead of restoring my grandmother's dress, Slubia left me with something I cannot wear on one of the most important days of my life. I don't know if the issue was lack of time, lack of skill, or lack of care, but the result is the same: I am left without my grandmother's dress two weeks before my wedding day. This experience has been heartbreaking, and I would caution anyone who is considering trusting her with a sentimental or important garment.

It doesn't make sense" well, we want to know how we get my groomsmen setup with suits, my fiancé wants to see color schemes so she can coordinate with her bridesmaids? Absolutely floored that this is the service we have received here. I'm hoping there's another Franchise somewhere because I don't think I can go back here.
