I had already checked out another place and didn't feel like I found "the one", so when my…read moresister-in-law suggested "Yes to the Dress", I figured why not. Madison was very nice and worked with me to find the perfect dress. She defiantly had a nice personal touch, even saying that she would come with me to make sure that the dress was altered perfectly. She said that the dress would come in the first week of June (a little over a month before the wedding). It would be little close, but not bad, keeping in mind that the dress would also need to be tailored. We also ordered to flower girl dresses from them because, they complemented my dress so well. A few months go by and the flower girls dresses were supposed to be delivered. Both myself and my sister-in-law (mother of my flower girls) called as well as stopped by to see when the dresses would be in. Every time, the date we were told, would always be moved back. This didn't make me feel good about my dress, because we were cutting it close to begin with. In the end the dresses came in about three weeks late. Of course, the first week of June came and went. Calls were made and estimates of shipping dates were given, but it kept being moved back, again. It wasn't until seventeen days before the wedding, when I called, that I was told that my dress had been in for days. Madison's assistant told me that my sister-in-law must have missed the message she left. That is impossible, she was more excited about the dress than I was, but I did double check with her (no phone call or message was ever left). I made an appointment, fifteen days left, to see how the dress fit. The personal touch from Madison, that I got when I first tried on my dress, was gone. Madison popped in long enough to see how the dress looked. I made an appointment, with her assistant, to go to the tailor. I would meet her at the store ten minutes ahead of time. She would not only drive me there, but she would also carry the dress for me. I came back, ten days before the wedding, expecting Madison's assistant to be ready to take me to the appointment. I saw her in the other room busy with a bride (I already knew what was coming). Madison told me that her assistant couldn't take me and that she was in the middle of doing inventor. She wrote down the directions, wished me good luck, and told me to send her pictures of the dress. I was shocked, but headed to LT Alterations. My sister-in-law was already there getting the flower girl dresses altered (later she said I looked confused and sad when I walked in). We got the dresses figured out, apparently Madison didn't tell her how close the wedding was, but she said she could get it done. Two day before the wedding, I got my dress. The alter was great, but the bustle seemed I little confusing....ok...really confusing. Thirteen white ties made of sheer fabric that she couldn't find during her bustle tying lesson. On the day of the wedding I had three, very patient and loving friends, up my dress for a half hour trying to figure out the bustle. They couldn't find all the little ties or maybe some of them fell off (the tailor said they were delicate). It took the event coordinator, with a handful of pins, to finally get me bustled. I loved my dress, but the games they played with me I could never recommend this business to an blushing bride-to-be.

Scroll to the bottom and click on the link to check out the reviews that Yelp randomly filtered, which do not count toward the overall score. There are TWENTY-ONE (yes, 21) more 5-STAR REVIEWS! And they are WELL DESERVED! I am not into wedding gowns... at all. And I put off the dress buying as long as I possibly could. My other bridal shoppe experiences don't hold a candle to how comfortable and welcomed I felt on both of my visits to Yes to the Dress. So wonderful, in fact, that I swore I was going to buy a dress through them because I believe they DESERVE the business. It's posh, modern, clean. The staff is knowledgeable, articulate and caring. They could have made me feel amazing in almost any dress. Unbelievably, I ended up closing the deal on a 100% custom designed, one-of-a-kind gown after attending the Leanne Marshall trunk show & the savings were significant. It was a win for the shoppe, a win for Leanne, and a major win for me. The excitement level was through the shop roof!! I lost count of the hugs being thrown around. My mom is going back for her gown, my friend's mom is going to visit for hers. For better or worse, I too read a lot of boutique reviews when I was on my search. At some point you just have to put down the Yelp and get out there. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment at this shoppe. What do you have to lose?

My daughter is getting married so when it came time to look for wedding dresses I was very excited…read moreto accompany her, my 3 other daughters, my granddaughter, my mom and her future mother-in-law to begin finding the perfect gown. As a dad, the excitement to see another daughter find the perfect dress was paramount in our search. The first day of looing took us to two bridal shops. The first, was very nice, with extravagant gowns (and extravagant prices as I am paying for the dress). However, despite the variety of styles, none of the gowns made my daughter, a nurse, feel like the bride she dreamed of being nor the I one I imagined her getting married in. So, while there was one 'maybe' dress we left for our second appointment. As I was leaving the first shop, I was literally cornered by the owner as to why my daughter was not buying the one she "liked". I was a bit taken aback, and answered that it was because she did not "love" it. Feeling kind of annoyed, we headed to Darianna's where we were met with kind hello's and seated in a large room as Wendy began choosing dresses for my daughter to try on. She even let me add my pick to the selection and that made me happy. My daughter then began to try on each dress and on the last one she burst into tears, as did the rest of us, as she said those famous words "this is my dress". It is stunning and. I might add, it was the one I PICKED. So now with the gown, the crystal beaded veil and tiara, I was awestruck at how beautiful my little girl (25 yo) looked and how happy she was. Wendy then provided champagne to celebrate and broke the news of the total price, which was well within my budget. I can not say enough of how kind and patient Wendy and the entire staff were to my family. Wendy took her time and most of all did not try to force me to purchase the gown immediately. Although I placed a deposit, I was never under any pressure to do so. That fact, to me, is important, because I believe that to pressure a bride or her family into a dress she may not want can only add frustration to what is supposed to be one of the happiest days, thus far, of her life. Lastly, I was so impressed with Wendy I called the next day to thank her for such a pleasant experience. I am extremely detailed oriented, as is my daughter, and this Bridal Shop hit the mark on every level of product to service. Thank you to everyone at Darianna's for such a wonderful experience.

Connie, who also happens to be the seamstress, was my consultant that day. She asked to see my inspiration photos and proceeded to pull dresses she thought might suit me from the racks. The overall vibe of the store, dress selections and fantastic customer service were quite impressive. It also smells HEAVENLY inside. It's obvious that they pride themselves on keeping it immaculate. Yesterday, I said yes to a dress I tried on at my first appointment. The owner John was so accommodating and squeezed me in with just one day's notice when I requested to come in and re-try my favorite dress. When I arrived, he greeted me with a big smile. Both John and Connie are the sweetest and most patient individuals I've ever met. I highly recommend Ashley's to any brides, bridesmaids, moms and even men! They have an awesome selection of suits and tuxedos, too.

It's helpful to note that I am plus size, and only have 5 months until the wedding date, so not a ton of time to work with. I went into this appointment extremely nervous and discouraged after having such a negative experience at a different shop earlier in the day. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew this one would be different. Julie was extremely warm and welcoming, and took the time to let me pick dresses I loved, while making suggestions based on what she thought would work for me. Since I have a larger frame and bust, many of the dresses didn't fit me exactly, but Julie was a professional at finagling and maneuvering the dresses in ways so that I could see exactly how they would fit on my body. She truly made me feel beautiful, which is amazing considering I came in feeling completely defeated. I found the perfect dress, thanks to Julie's help - and then cancelled the other appointments I had at other shops that day. I worked with Julie to completely customize my dress with the designer, so I could create something I feel even more wonderful in. She has walked me through every step of the process, making sure I understand the cost breakdown, and even allowing me to see renderings of the customized dress we created before placing the order with the designer. The level of customer service and professionalism at this shop has blown me away and I cannot recommend it any more. If you are looking for a high level of customer service, quality dresses, and a great experience, don't think twice - visit Julie at Liberty and Lace.

I am a big guy and I intentionally avoid suits and formal wear because most are not forgiving when it comes to us big guys and movement and flexibility.

We were incredibly disappointed with our overall experience. Unfortunately, the level of service…read moreand professionalism we encountered fell far short of what we expected. We began with such excitement among us and brought a bridesmaid, grandmother and it was such a bummer of an experience. We paid for the extended time with Champagne (which was never opened).... Here is why it was horrible customer service.... From our very first appointment, there was significant pressure placed on my daughter to purchase a dress immediately. While the consultant did listen to her preferences and selected several beautiful gowns for her to try on, the sales environment felt overwhelmingly focused on securing a purchase rather than allowing her the time and space to make a thoughtful decision. Now we understand why.... While we were purchasing the dress and after, my daughter expressed uncertainty. Within an hour of leaving this place, I called to explain that she was still on the fence. At that point, the dress had not yet been ordered or fully processed, but our request was met with an immediate and inflexible refusal, by the owner. While I understand and respect that stores must have policies, the response lacked empathy and any willingness to work with us. The salon's policy of offering only store credit and no returns left us feeling trapped in our decision rather than supported through an emotional and significant purchase. We were ultimately left with store credit and a great deal of disappointment. They threw in a very small credit towards alterations - once again locking us in... Unfortunately, that was only the beginning... Another frustrating aspect of our experience was the alteration appointments. For every visit, we were required to wait outside until the exact appointment time, regardless of the weather. We stood in pouring rain for one appointment and 90-degree heat for another, despite staff being inside, watching us, and a waiting area sitting empty. On one occasion, Lana, who handles alterations, saw us standing in the rain and kindly invited us inside. Her thoughtfulness and courtesy stood in stark contrast to the rest of our experience. Unfortunately, the appointments were rarely on time. During one visit, we waited 13 minutes outside and then another 25 minutes inside before being seen. The atmosphere among the staff was also disappointing. There was a noticeable amount of gossiping and whispering within earshot of customers, which felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. It often seemed as though conversations with clients were being forced out of obligation rather than stemming from a genuine desire to provide exceptional customer service and create a positive experience. Choosing a wedding dress should be a joyful, memorable, and special experience. Sadly, our experience was marked by pressure, inflexibility, and a lack of customer care. We remained polite, friendly, and accommodating throughout the process, which made the experience all the more hurtful and disappointing. The one bright spot was Lana. Her alterations work is exceptional, and she consistently demonstrated kindness, patience, professionalism, and expertise. She provided the level of care and attention we had hoped to receive throughout our entire experience. Thank you, Lana, for your outstanding work and compassion. Congratulations to the store for hiring ONE exceptional person. My advice to brides - go some place else. I love supporting small business but will NEVER recommend this one to anyone who will ask me my opinion.
