One of my daughters got married a few years ago and we looked here for her dress. The experience…read morewas pretty good. She didn't end up getting her dress there. I have another daughter who will be getting married next year. We've started looking for her dress. We had a great experience at the first place she looked and definitely have some front runners. She had an appointment on a Saturday morning. Five us were there with her. None of us could believe how bad our appointment was. I can't even call her a consultant. She was a flat out sales person. She didn't listen to what my daughter was telling her. My daughter could barely breathe in one of the dresses and the sales gal went on and on about the dress. She literally said to her, "I can tell you don't even want to take it off" as my daughter was saying how she couldn't breathe in it. She was pushing the look over comfort. Most of the time my girl didn't like the look or feel the comfort. Brides are in their dress for hours and hours on their wedding day so of course comfort is important. There was a dress that my daughter kind of liked. She pointed out what she didn't like about it. The sales gal said that all kinds of changes could be made. Now, I know that each of those changes cost money, but she never mentioned that fact. She was also not respectful of my daughter's budget. The sales person was extremely pushy, a little rude, and dismissive. She almost seemed angry that we didn't purchase something that day. I have a third daughter. When it's her time to get married, I know where we won't be going.

I was very disappointed with my experience at Mimi's. The store advertises having the largest…read moreselection of Mother of the Bride dresses in the St. Louis area, which is the main reason we drove two hours for an appointment. Unfortunately, the selection was much smaller than we expected. What was even more frustrating was that the consultant did not seem to listen to what we were looking for. We specifically requested light blue dresses and no lace, yet she repeatedly brought navy, silver, several other colors and lace that we had already said we were not interested in. It felt like our preferences were being ignored entirely. The customer service was also lacking. While trying on dresses, she would simply toss the next dress into the fitting room while I was still changing. When I finally had a dress to on, she was unable to zip it- stating she broke her hand over a year ago and thankfully the family members who came with me were able to help. Because of the poor service and limited selection, we ended our appointment early and called another store, which thankfully was able to fit us in the same day. After driving two hours based on Mimi's advertising, the experience was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend Mimi's to anyone shopping for a Mother of the Bride dress. The selection did not match the advertising, and the customer service fell far below expectations

Did not end up buying my dress here. I want to be clear - my stylist was very friendly and we had…read moreno issues with her. However I clearly stated my vision and I just don't feel like it was executed. We visited two additional bridal shops and the entire visit was like night and day. I found my dress elsewhere because I felt 100x more comfortable at the other places. While we were trying on dresses, another bride was at the counter. She was nervous and upset because her wedding was in 4 weeks and her dress hadn't even arrived yet. That is scary on its own. The manager was literally yelling at the bride and we could hear everything. It was SUPER unprofessional. Our stylist even apologized... the bride said to us "do not buy here". We listened to her, obviously we do not want to go through that if we have issues too. The bride was in a crunch and literally showed up at our next appointment - she bought a different dress at the other shop. Like I mentioned - our stylist was friendly, but I don't even remember her name. We didn't connect. I felt comfortable at the other places and got to know the stylists and had conversations with them.

Enchanted Bride is super close to my work. I dropped by without appointment on a weekday evening…read more The shop was fairly small, but empty on this evening. You could browse through the selections quickly. The service was impeccable. The lady helping me was very friendly and tiredless-ly helped me get in and out of at least 8 dresses that I pulled out. Some things to note: they don't let you take photos. This is pretty common in boutiques, something to do with agreements with the designers. Personally, I find it hard to not have pictures to compare with other dresses that I've tried on, but this is nothing against the shop itself. The price point is mid-high range for wedding dress, starting at just below $1K to a few grand. After that day, I received two hand-written notes from the shop reminding me to stop by anytime if I haven't found anything. In the end, I found my dress elsewhere, but I do recommend Enchanted Bride for other ladies still shopping.

I fell in love with the very first dress and had to go back a second time to try it on again. They saw the excitement in my face (through my mask, because of COVID) and decided to name the dress after me!! Their prices are amazing, and fair as their dresses are handmade and produced in the US.

The reviews online were subpar, so I remained hopeful, but with low expectations. I got a little lost trying to get there, but I finally arrive and the parking lot only had one car. The place seemed massive and this lovely woman named Beth greeted me when I got to the door. She had a mask on the whole time and there was no one else there - my kind of wedding dress shopping experience! Beth had pulled some dresses based on my survey and she really did a great job! She was kind and gave me some feedback after I said how I liked the dress. I haven't made any decisions, but one dress Beth pulled for me is a serious contender.

Granted, all eyes will be on the bride, but I still wanted something pretty and sophisticated to wear to the event, without breaking the bank. After all, I am a senior on a fixed budget. A friend recommended David's for a great deal on clearance dresses. I was somewhat skeptical, but decided to try it. So glad that I did. I arrived on a busy Saturday afternoon, explained what I was looking for. The young lady (I wish I had gotten her name) was incredibly helpful and attentive, as if I were buying a $$$ wedding ensemble. I found a fabulous dress for less than $100.00, perfect fit, no alterations required. Now, I am off to find the perfect shoes. P.S. best part of all...a size 6!!!

Took it back to return it just 3 days after I got it. They wouldnt return it as their policy for returns is 7 days from PURCHASE, not when you get it. Completely shady policy if not illegal. It's useless to make an appointment too. We had an appt and ended up finding our own dresses to try on.

They pulled out styles they think may look good on me and also let me browse to find things on my own. I didn't find them pushy either. The show room is not big but they have exquisite collections. If you always wanted a Carolina Herrera or a Vera Wang, you definitely should stop by here. Check their websites for trunk show dates. They offer a small discount (I believe it was 15%) on dresses from that brand on the trunk show weekend. It's a size-able chunk of change when you are dropping upwards of $3K+ on a designer dress.

They carry some great brands and are the only boutique that I could find in St Louis that carries Adele Wechsler gowns, which is an eco-friendly couture brand that I was specifically looking for. They are very flexible when it comes to schedule - I had to travel in each time I visited since I live in Phoenix and they were very accommodating with schedule. They also provide in-house alterations. The store is lovely, especially the show room. I'd highly recommend a trip to Berrybridge if you're shopping for your gown.

The dress arrived in less than a week! It was exactly what I had been looking for and Paulette even suggested trying the royal blue gown as well. Both gowns were perfect for a wedding in Greece. Paulette gave me such a good deal I bought them both. I will definitely be back and will recommend Special Occasions and Paulette to any family and friends in need of a dress.

Three days later, my grandfather called in a panic because my grandmother had lost her only other pair of pants and needed something to wear to a doctor's appointment the next day. I called the shop, explained the situation, and asked if they could possibly have just one pair ready by 4 p.m. I was disappointed by the complete lack of empathy. I was simply told it would be an additional $7 rush fee. I understand this is a business, but considering I was already paying $44 for two basic hems, a little compassion would have gone a long way. Their work is fine, but their prices are high and the customer service lacked a human touch. I won't be returning.
