I DO NOT RECOMMEND Lucia's. *********************************************************************************** I loved my wedding dress shopping experience at Lucia's. Every single part of my experience was better than I could have imagined. I felt like a customer, instead of the credit card I was at the other places I tried on dresses. They were the only dress shop I went to that didn't require an appointment ("Appointment? Not necessary. Come in whenever.") They also were the only one where I wasn't rushed (I was there for three hours), limited in the number of dresses I could try on (11) or pressured into a sale. Also, they didn't even talk money until I had decided on "the one." (Bonus: I got a discount for taking the store sample, which will be entirely rebeaded by Glonay.) Glonay is amazingly patient, knows her stock (she suggested "the one" after seeing me in a few), is unbelievably polite (continually saying "sorry" as she had to pin me in), and knows her stuff when it comes to altering the lacework and beading of delicate dresses. I just hope the rest of my vendors are as amazing as Glonay and Lucia's.

Everytime I would go into this business I felt as though I was treated awful! The owner was so rude…read moreand made rude comments to my family as well as myself. I do not recommend this bridal store for anyone! I found out a was pregnant a few weeks after ordering my bridesmaid dress, and before the dresses even came in, (the wedding I was buying the dress for was still 4 months away) I informed the owner as soon as I found out and I was told that I could either get it altered (which would be around 100 dollars for everything) or I would have to buy a new dress in a bigger size. I thought this was completely rediculous! I had no idea that I would be pregnant, it was just a terrible experience all around. I ended up using the dress I already ordered and took it to another place for alterations, and I'm hoping it fits, because the wedding is this saturday!! STAY AWAY FROM LUCIA'S!!!

I accompanied a friend who was shopping for a grandmother-of-the-groom dress. She had called…read morebeforehand to schedule an appointment. When we arrived the consultant (I use the term loosely) didn't tell us her name nor ask my friend her name, just said, "Oh, you want grandMA dresses". A little diplomacy, please. My friend is in her late 70s but doesn't want a stranger calling her grandma. The consultant didn't ask my friend one question about the wedding nor venue nor budget, absolutely nothing. The consultant stood around looking bored and did not offer help getting my friend into her selected gowns. We left the store two hours later without my friend making a purchase. We only saw the first floor of this salon since that is where the mother/grandmother of the bride/groom dresses are. Access to the second and third floor are necessary if you are prom/bridesmaid or bridal gown shopping. I am estimating there were 100-120 options available, an adequate number for trying out several silouhettes. Overall not a great experience. I guess shows like Say Yes to the Dress have customers expecting more.

Right from the start, Karim made everything about my experience amazing. She was cognizant of my budget as well as my wants. She was attentive and intuitive. She provided wonderful feedback to any questions I had and truly made me feel that I was being heard. She thought of things that made me feel very secure in my choices (ie. placed color swatches of my color inspirations next to my dress; looked into whether it would benefit me more to have alterations done vs. ordering based on my timeline as well as cost). Illusions has a beautiful aesthetic, a wonderful selection of styles, sizes, accessories, etc. Every stage of my appointment was thorough as well as efficient. I never felt pressured or obligated. Most importantly, I felt that my budget and wants were equally prioritized.

I got married out of state but live in Bloomington. I got my dress at Nedra's Formal and Bridal,…read moreand I was delighted with the service I received there. From the beginning to the end of my year and a half of wedding planning, the staff there was supportive, professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Nina was the consultant with whom I worked most closely over the process, although Susan was great too. If you want a store where someone is up in your business constantly during the appointment, Nedra's is not that place. No one is going to "jack you up" a la Monty from SYTTD Atlanta, unless you ask. But THANK GOD for that! There was not even the tiniest hint of the hard sell from them at any point in the process. Since I left the dress with them til we left town for the wedding, and "visited it" a few times to try on accessories and check the fit, they had ample opportunity to push their own stuff, and didn't. When it finally came time to pick up the dress, Nina wished me luck and asked me to stop by with wedding pictures when we got them back. Way better than your average bridal salon experience, and highly recommended.

We walked into this store with one simple reason - we wanted to buy swatches. We didn't have an…read moreappointment for this reason, and we were not planning on wasting anyone's time other than to get the swatches. Other members I was with went looking around while we looked at the swatches. In that moment one girl decided to take it upon herself to assist us. She assisted us in the purchase of the swatches and then proceeded to assist around the store, even though we were just browsing the colors in person to see what looked right. We made it clear we weren't making any other purchases and the mood of the sales associate immediately changed from bubbly to passive aggressive and outright rude. I showed her pictures of my dream dress that I already found (it is being bought off line) and she has the nerve to say "Well that's not a David's dress and we don't want you trying on dresses and then going elsewhere and blaming David's for buying a dress you liked here and having a bad experience". Your JOB is to want my business - your job is to try to find me a dress like my dreams in your store so I don't want to go anywhere else, but she made it perfectly clear that she didn't need or want our business whatsoever, even my bridesmaids so we won't be returning to the Terre Haute store again.

This is the most unprofessional and disrespectful business ever. They have made what should be a…read morehappy and fun time shopping for Bridesmaid dresses into a total nightmare. They started off by measuring every bridesmaid wrong and making 2 of the bridesmaids order plus sizes dresses when they are clearly not even close to plus size (which was an extra $25). They have had to ship back the dresses once already because they didn't order them correctly. Then had to ship back another dress because there was a hole in it. The wedding is 2 weeks away and 1 dress isn't even in yet (which will also need altered) and they haven't started on altering the other 2 dresses. When we have called to check on the status of the dresses the employees are very rude and have now informed us if we stop calling they can get their job done. When I ask when the dresses will be done they can not give a time frame. Mind you we have called maybe a total of 5 times over the past 6 months. I would not recommend this business to anyone escpecially if it is for a wedding.

Copying my review from Google and adding it here as well because Megan is amazing:…read moreI don't even know where to start. Megan is not only incredibly talented, she is the most kind, warm, and attentive person. I was really anxious about finding a reputable place to bring my wedding dress for alterations. Thank goodness I listened to my gut and the reviews and went with Blooming Bride Alterations. I could not be more thrilled with how everything came out. After meeting Megan for only a few minutes, I knew I had nothing to worry about. She is so professional, but also feels like a friend almost immediately. She walked me through the timeline and reassured me every step of the way. When it came time to decide on the bustle, she gave me options and was so patient and kind. I don't t have any of my family or bridal party in Indiana, but for every appointment, I never felt like I was going through my dress alteration process alone. I cannot thank Megan enough. The talent she has for her craft is only surpassed by her kind warm heart. My dress looks more beautiful than I could have imagined. I almost forgot to mention, she is very fair and transparent about pricing!! Don't hesitate and book Megan!!!

We were in Effingham just trying to find cute shops to browse in, when we turned the corner and saw Wild Rose! Definitely FATE! The shop is actually a boutique with a bridal shop on the top floor with clearance/discounted dresses in the back of the boutique. I definitely went straight for the sale dresses, which I found MANY with minor flaws. My consultant was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I didn't even catch her name, but she had the most gorgeous red hair! She had a last minute cancellation so she was able to fit me in as a walk-in. We quickly found my style, which I had no clue of when I walked in. I felt super comfortable and we were having a blast. I never felt rushed or under pressure. Down to the final three dresses, my consultant encouraged me to retry on everything. I knew immediately which dress was for me and I said YES to the dress! After I decided my gown, I was encouraged to take photos, videos, etc (I was also encouraged to take photos through the whole appt). Since I'm from California, my consultant made sure I wanted the dress shipped, and since it was sale (missing buttons) she let me know they would send me the extra buttons for my tailor. I could not have had a better experience at Wild Rose, the team was truly amazing. So happy I was surrounded by loved ones and positivity in the shop to help me find my dream dress!
