When I called or posted something here on FB I always heard back very quickly/immediately. When I went in for my appointment Julie (the owner) was there to greet me and it was just the two of us in the store. I literally got one-on-one attention I got was unmatched. I shopped during their sample sale and got 25% off my dress! If all this wasn't amazing enough, she had a tv hooked up to her laptop just so brides can video chat with their families that may be out of state! I walked in at 10 am and by 11:30 am I had tried on about 5 dresses, re tried the one I wanted, got dressed again, had some celebratory champagne, paid for my dress, and was back in my car! If you want a simple pain free experience and want some great personal attention then Julie's Bridal is the place to go!!

My sister and I were here a total 5 minutes before this woman came and started on some random rant about how one of her workers is in the hospital and it is prom season.

I bought my mother of the bride dress from David's. I decided about 10 days before the wedding I…read morewanted to shorten it and wear a lower heel, so I went to them for the alteration. They charged $179 because they said it was a rush job even though I was able to get it about 4 days after going in. So that was irritating. However, the bigger issue was that about an hour or two after putting it on for the wedding, it started to unravel at the bottom. So, all night it would catch on my feet and I'd have to remove balls of thread. When I called after the wedding to complain I was told that it was because it was beaded and that basically that's what happens!! To which I said, "had I known that I wouldn't have had it shortened." So, buyer beware if looking at beaded dresses. And though they "repaired" it, the bottom is now jagged so I don't feel like I can even sell it.

We were walking downtown and came across this place, and although it said "by appointment" on the door, they were happy to accommodate us on the spot. The young girl with dark hair was able to help us look at all shades and options for the grooms side and had much cheaper rates than other places we had looked. The tux rentals are itemized instead of one flat rate, so I'm still unsure if it'll be cheaper in the end but we loved the convenience and that we could shade match dresses at the same store for an all in one experience for ease and peace of mind that we'll match. She let me know that any dress I found in the area could be shade matched to the best man, and I found the perfect dress at only $160! I did find it weird that I'm usually a size 0-2 and the dress that fit was a size 6, but they were awesome at getting me alteration recommendations and assisting with me being out of state. They got the bride all set up with everyone's information so they could stop in whenever and pick out their dresses and get sized. They made it beyond easy for us to handle our outfits and with the wedding less than three months out, thank gourd for their ability to rush and keep it relatively inexpensive! I would honestly consider coming here for my wedding based on my experience as the maid of honor alone.

She was fortunate to find her dream gown: a $1300 gown for $299. Can't beat that! There were many gowns in good shape for great prices; my daughter's a size 12 so she had a fair number to choose from; I think she tried on at least 10. The consultant was very helpful but not at all pushy. The décor is plush 1970s (original) and quite comfortable, but for these prices I wouldn't care if it were in an outlet mall. Now, the downside. Naturally, when you buy a gown at a clearance center, it will likely need some alterations. The seamstress there said they would soon stop offering alterations on site but that I should call her in early September as she also works from home. So I called her right after Labor Day and she told me she was booked through October. Boo! However, she gave me the name of another seamstress in Janesville who turned out to be awesome working under time pressure. So the first seamstress redeemed herself a wee bit. One more thing: there were many, many bridesmaid dresses there at terrific prices, but the mother-of-the-bride section was almost non-existent. Bottom line: go here first just in case you luck out like my daughter did.

I received a sealed envelope at a bridal show from Mahin's saying if I scheduled an appointment and…read moreselected my dress from there I could receive a "prize" up to a certain amount. I scheduled my appointment which they were nice about - they have good store hours. I explained what I wanted and my price range. They didn't have the type of dress I was looking for - tea length, strapless, corset back - but I picked out some dresses from the stuffy old rooms to try on. After trying them on Mahin said "I have just the dress for you." She brought in a dress that was very pretty, and a little more than DOUBLE my price range. I tried it on anyways, which I shouldn't have. It was an amazing dress and we sucked it up and bought it. My "prize" was a veil up to $200. I explained I didn't want a veil but rather a birdcage, which they have, and she said the "prize" didn't cover that I would have to get a veil or nothing. They added that if my bridesmaids bought their dresses from them they would receive a discount so we scheduled an appointment. When we came for that appointment she seemed annoyed by us, maybe she was having a bad day. I had one girl who was too little for the dress we ended up choosing so they gave us a book to look through for junior brides and flower girls. We didn't find anything we liked and said we'd look elsewhere for that last dress. Fast forward several weeks and I receive a call saying my dress was in. She said she noticed that I had 5 bridesmaids but that we had only ordered 4 dresses and she hadn't ordered them yet because she was waiting on the 5th one to decide on a dress. I explained that we had decided the day we were there not to order the 5th dress from her and she was quite rude saying that I never told her that and now the dresses may not arrive on time. I asked her to order the dresses and she did. When I came to try my dress on I immediately noticed an awful smell when entering the fitting room. It smelled like fish, bad! When putting the dress over my head it was clear the smell was coming from the dress. I was too excited to see the dress I didn't mention it. Then the dress didn't fit - it was too small. Mahin didn't seem to think anything of it and said when they had it altered they would move the modesty panel and it would be fine. While standing in what seemed to be a room with the temperature set to 120 degrees having her pin my hem she was again quite rude. She actually got quite loud with me when she insisted that I had moved and she would have to redo part of the pinning. My mother had to stand with me holding my arms so I didn't pass out due to the temperature so if I moved, I didn't mean to. $500+ later after alterations to hem it a few inches and put in the bustle I came back to try the dress on again. The fishy stench remained, the bustle clips were horrible, the hem was still too long, and it STILL DIDN'T FIT! Again, she didn't think anything of it and said that if I wear a girdle that should take care of it. I finally mentioned the smell, after everyone I had there with me said "yes, it's awful" and she didn't notice it. She said "maybe after we steam it it'll be better." The girls dresses came in and we decided NOT to use her alteration services so we just picked them up and left. The dresses were as expected and were all a little big, but that's better than small. I decided to pick my dress up several weeks before the wedding to see if we could do something about the smell. I "googled" it and apparently dresses that are shipped from over seas are sprayed with pesticides so that could have been the reason. We left it hang out and it got better, but never totally went away. I took my dress with to a different seamstress when the girls had their alterations done to ask for a different modesty panel to help my dress fit better and the wonderful woman explained that my dress was not anywhere near the right size. So, another $300+ later she put in panels on the side of the dress to get it to fit the best it could. This was all AFTER I had lost 15 lbs since I had been fitted in the first place. In the end, my $600 dress budget ended up costing me over $2000 and I smelled like fish on my wedding day.
