This morning, I had an incredible experience at Brides by Jessa! It was my very first time looking…read morefor and trying on wedding dresses, and I felt so celebrated and cared for as a customer. Miriam spent about 2 hours and 20 minutes with us, and I probably tried on about 6 or 7 dresses in total. She was very helpful in talking me through what kinds of dresses I thought I liked, and allowed me to not feel too narrowed into one "style" or shape, which I appreciated. She made genuine comments about how a dress flattered and accentuated my body, she never made me feel 'bad' about my body or size. She asked questions about my fiancée and discussed how she wants her brides to feel comfortable, beautiful, confident, and that during the dress shopping experience, to consider how you hope to feel on your wedding day. It was a really great experience! I am an LGBTQ bride and so it feels very important to me that my vendors (?), or folks involved in the wedding are affirming and supportive, and I definitely felt that with Miriam! We also had a good conversation about how getting more options for plus size dresses is an area of interest for the shop, and how pleased I was with the selection they did have. I tried on dresses from size 16-22, I believe. I wear a size 18 in Old Navy jeans, if that helps...! I have not decided on a dress yet, but I will definitely be making a follow up appointment with Brides by Jessa to continue my search.

They have photos of what the dresses look like on a person. Which comes in really handy. Because it is hard to tell what it will look like on the hanger! The biggest downside is they only have 2 chairs for people to sit in and wait for the bride to come out in her next dress. They do have awesome sales!!!!

While I was visiting, we decided to check out Celebration so she could get ideas for her wedding gown. They were going out of business :( Still, we looked around, not expecting to actually buy anything. The staff was busy, but they still made it a point to greet us. We looked from dress to dress, comparing styles. And then she found IT, THE DRESS. We asked if she could try it on, which she did, and the clerk offered to get tissues when my friend started crying! She also helped adjust the heavy dress in a warm but professional manner. My friend bought the dress, 60% off, and everyone there was so happy for her!

I had a great experience shopping at Celebration Bridal for my wedding dress and bridesmaids…read moredresses. Every person I came into contact with was extremely helpful. My original sales person was so attentive and seemed to really care about helping me find the dress of my dreams, she really made my experience memorable. When I went back in to look at bridesmaids dresses I worked with someone else and she was just as great as the lady that helped me pick out my wedding dress. The girls that work there really know their stuff, they were able to find out what I was looking for and what my vision was and then they were able to pull gowns that I never would have looked twice at and I ended up loving it, it really goes to show that you really can't judge a book by its cover. I felt like they genuinely wanted to help me find the right dress weather it was bridesmaids or my bridal gown they didn't care weather it was a $1500 dress or a $150 dress they just wanted it to be THE one and after shopping at every bridal store in the area this by far was the best experience I have had. My dress came in with no problems and the alterations lady was great she got everything I wanted done quickly, they were extremely busy when I was there for my alterations but they handled it very well and i enjoyed visiting the store every time I went in there, it was such a happy and fun environment. So if you want a shopping experience that is essentially stress free and with people helping you that actually want you to wear the gown that is right for you rather than just trying to make a sale then this is where you need to get your gown. I made some of the biggest memories that I will hold onto forever with my mom and family while I was shopping for my wedding gown and thankfully it was a wonderful experience and stress free.
