I am so excited to go to this wedding and show off the fabulous dress. Thank you Bridal & Formal!!!

Honestly, if you shop online, you better be sure you're keeping what you buy because returning or exchanging something is unnecessarily difficult. Even though they state a 14-day return policy, you can't simply take your item back to the store--even if it's only been one day since pickup. You have to email, wait for approval, and sometimes make phone calls just to arrange a basic return or exchange. If it happens to be the weekend, good luck, because there's no one available to handle it. I love their merchandise, but the return process makes me think twice about ordering online again. Great clothes, terrible return and exchange experience.

I am so happy to see that Ann is still the owner. We made an appointment online, and on the day of our appointment Carol took care of us. I was able to bring 3 of my closest friends with me to my appointment, and there was seating provided for them while they waited to see the gowns. We were directed where to look for gowns my size, and were given so many wonderful options. Overall I tried on 6-7 dresses, and never felt rushed or pressured to make a purchase. The appointment lasts for 90 minutes total. Carol took care of us by listening to comments and observations, and then made suggestions and recommendations to try. I put my full trust in Carol, because thanks to her recommendations I found a dress that made me FEEL like a bride! I was there to try on different silhouettes, and while I did not say yes to the dress (yet), I believe they serve champagne once you purchase a gown. Their prices are very reasonable, and they will ask you for your budget so that they can direct you where to look on the racks and make realistic recommendations. If your budget is $5,000 or less, then this shop has the selection for you! I cannot wait to come back to check out their other options (mother-of-the bride gowns, especially), and take another look through their gorgeous gowns.

Our experience with this bridal shop surrounding my daughter's wedding dress has been incredibly…read moredisappointing--not only because of what happened with the dress, but because of the way we have been treated since. My daughter's approximately $4,000 wedding dress, with an additional $1,200 spent on alterations, would not zip on her wedding day. After nearly three hours of trying everything we could, the zipper ultimately broke less than an hour before the ceremony. This was an incredibly stressful and heartbreaking situation on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life. The shop has stated that they "went out of their way" to help us, but I feel it is important to clarify what actually happened. When we initially reached out for help, no one offered to come assist us. It was only after our wedding planner became involved that the shop brought sample dresses for my daughter to wear. We were grateful that she ultimately had something to walk down the aisle in, but that assistance came after significant stress and after someone else had to advocate for us. What has been equally upsetting is the treatment we have received afterward. I am the mother of the bride and the person who purchased the dress, yet I was treated rudely and essentially told that they would only communicate with my daughter because she was the bride. Regardless of who wore the dress, I was also their customer and deserved to be treated with basic courtesy and professionalism. During our conversation following the wedding, the shop agreed to contact the designer about gifting my daughter the sample dress she was forced to wear for her wedding. Since that conversation, our follow-up emails have gone unanswered. At this point, the lack of communication feels especially disappointing given everything that happened. We understand that problems can occur. What defines a business is how it responds when something goes wrong. We were not expecting perfection--we were expecting empathy, professionalism, communication, and a genuine effort to make an extremely upsetting situation right. Instead, we have been left feeling dismissed and as though the shop believes bringing a replacement dress after our planner intervened should end the conversation. My daughter will never get another wedding day, and she will never have the experience of wearing the dress she carefully chose and paid thousands of dollars for. I sincerely hoped this business would handle the situation differently. Unfortunately, based on both the wedding-day response and the lack of follow-through afterward, I cannot recommend this bridal shop.

Its awkwardness is obvious, there's something about the idea of going to the same place that you found your Halloween costume to rent a tux thats unsettling. Yet it makes sense - why not, its all just clothing, and arguably isn't formal wear a costume of a different kind? (ooo I'm deep hah!) I've never actually purchased or rented either type of costume here, partly because I'm a firm believer in creating my own Halloween costumes and partly because, well I'm female and don't generally come across an event where I would need to be decked out in a tuxedo. I have, however, spent many an hour here over the years perusing the merchandise. Its a great place just to get some ideas, or even just pick up some accessories. The staff here is friendly and helpful and its location on West End makes it incredibly convenient. I can't really say anything about their prices as I don't really know what the clothing rental market is like, but their quality seems to be right on and I've known anyone to have a bad experience here. Obviously there are certain times of the year when they are more popular, so if you're shopping for something at those times, I'd suggest getting the jump on it early or you might find yourself with some limited options.
