There is minimal risk of infection at Asheville's most wonderful boutique! They are all masked up and make sure that their patrons are as well. They limit the number of people allowed in the shop, they steam clean any clothes that have been tried on and they disinfect the store between shoppers. If you have a problem with their safety protocols then you are a twit and should crawl back into the darkness from whence you came! Can't wait to shop there again! xoxo

After getting such a bad taste in our mouth at David's Bridal on Sunday afternoon, we googled to…read moresee if any other bridal stores were open while we were in town. Best Bride was, and so even though we didn't have an appointment, we drove over to see if they could accommodate us. From the moment we walked in, the difference was like night and day. We were warmly greeted and when we explained what happened, they told us they'd do whatever they could to take care of us. Even though they were busy with some other appointments, they made us feel special and welcome. It was such a pleasant experience from beginning to end, and I found quite a few dresses that I am now considering. The owners are incredibly friendly and will give you exactly the kind of experience that you would hope to have. High, high marks. We plan to visit them again as my date gets closer to see what other stock might rotate in, but they do have a large selection in a range of sizes, and can order anything you might like on their site that isn't out.

We just rented a grooms suit and there were seven groomsmen attire also rented. The grooms pants…read morewere were extremely tight. The groom also had to leave his top button on his shirt unfastened, his tie was basically chocking him. ALL of the groomsmen had different issues with different things such as shirt too small, shirt to big, suspenders would not stay clipped to the pants, suspenders to big, pants to short. The two that had shirts to small had to drive 1 hour going and coming the day of the weddIng to get a shirt that would fit. One was given one that had a stain on it. I don't know how you measure people and mess up this bad. I do not recommend them at all. Grooms attire was $240 to rent and groomsmens were $200 because they did not wear jacket. Only suspenders. I expected better from Mitchel's Tuxedos than this . Never again.

I sadly had a very dishonest shopping experience at this boutique. I asked to try on the dress on…read moredisplay as it was the last with a floral pattern. The owner asked me to try on a similar dress on the floor as it would be difficult to take off the manikin (but that she would take it off for purchase). I tried it on the one on the floor but again, let her know that I did not like the pattern of this one and wanted to purchase the one on display. She said she would take it off the manikin and hold it for me behind the counter. She bagged while I talked to my friend. I returned home to San Diego and opened the bag to find that she had not given me the one off the manikin as agreed. She knew we were from out-of-town and that I would not have purchased the dress she sent me home with. There are so many bohemian import stores in the area with good customer service, who would never try and pull something like this (even with a perceived tourist). It's sad to see this in a small business, and such 'small ethic' in human interaction in general.

Buying a wedding dress can be a very draining and overwhelming experience, but with her we had FUN! We pulled multiple dresses and she was there every step of the way to point out what was special about each dress. I left that day without buying anything and went to another appointment, but I couldn't stop thinking about that dang Stella York. I came back and sealed the deal! The time rolled around for alterations and they were getting settled in their new location. It is gorgeous!!! The bridal showroom is out of this world. I got my alterations done by Judy Bishop via WI. She did a great job and even went above and beyond to clean the dress for me since it was a sample dress. As well as being a bride I am a professional vocalist for a local entertainment band called Royal Suits. We sometimes have high profile gigs and I needed to find a special occasions dress that would really "wow" my audiences. Brittany was such a great host and she was patient as I tried on about 20 dresses (no, seriously). She has extensive knowledge of the alterations process and she was able to tell me what could be done to my dress in order to make it that much more stunning. I want to mention the sale rack! My word! They always have a changing display of discontinued items priced anywhere from $15-50! My friend that was shopping with me bought 2 $15 dresses on a whim and she was very happy about the find. I would recommend this shop to any and every one. The level of professionalism, selection, and knowledge of wedding dresses and special occasion pieces is unmatched. The service was everything you could hope for. They make you feel beautiful and work with you on every need and want. I can't wait to have another reason to shop here again!

When I walked in, the lady was extremely nice. I let her know I was a newb. She gave me a cap (no charge) to wear to try on wigs. She didn't set a try on limit. She was really patient with me as I had NO idea what I wanted or was looking for. The wigs were very reasonably priced and come in colors not shown on the mannequins. They can be heat styled and washed. As a natural curly haired woman, they had Cantu products and their prices were a LOT better than the cheapest big box store.
