Review Spotlight: "A MUST for anyone looking to find that perfect dress for their special day. Diana was seriously the best and made the day that much more perfect. This was the first (and last) place I went dress shopping and here is where I said yes to the dress. From the store itself to the variety of dresses they offer, everything was best in class. I can't say enough great things about the people here as well. Diana was so attentive to my likes and dislikes when trying on different dresses that she ended up picking out the one I said yes to! I would highly recommend this place! Absolutely loved it!" —Katelyn B., The Knot Vendor Marketplace

Review Spotlight: "La Reve was the first dress shop appointment I made whenever I started dress shopping. It was beautiful and clean inside, and I appreciated that we were the only appointment being attended to. The staff here is so nice and extremely patient. Even with my indecisiveness and me asking to re-try several dresses again, our attendant never stopped giving us her undivided attention and honest advice. I gave my preferences and my budget, and after picking a few options out for myself, my attendant Maricela asked if she could pull one more out for me. I never would have thought to try it on myself, but after letting her pin me into it, I absolutely fell in love! But she knew this was my first appointment and didn't pressure me to make any decisions then and there. She put my preferences in my record and said I could come back any time after I made a final decision. So when I came back a second time, we knew for sure this was THE DRESS. I'm extremely grateful they were able to find a dress that made me look and feel like a princess!" —Lauren T., The Knot Vendor Marketplace

I only have a 4-month engagement, so I was very thankful for the wide selection of off-the-rack dresses they have to offer. This was only my second boutique to visit, but I am convinced they are the best!" —Macy T., The Knot Vendor Marketplace

Review Spotlight: "Whittington was my first true dress shopping experience. I've been looking forward to this day forever, especially since my fiancé and I had been together for 6 years so I've been dreaming. First off, my appointment was very easy to book, the store immediately got in contact with me, and even had me create a wishlist of dresses I liked. When arriving at the shop I was greeted with smiles and some of the sweetest ladies. Jordan was the wonderful lady who helped me throughout my experience. She let me browse the store, she made sure to stay within budget, and had mimosas in hand immediately. All of the dresses were stunning. I tried on 5 dresses (feeling beautiful in them all) but I knew the second dress was the one. It was quick but when you know you know. I will always recommend Whittington Bridal to others. I had the best experience and it truly was special for me." —Kara K., The Knot Vendor Marketplace

These ladies make you feel so welcome and supported throughout! I also was worried that I wouldn't find a dress that fit my unique style...I found my perfect dress in 10 minutes. Don't worry about options there, because they have a ton! It was pricey, but they don't make you pay for everything all at once.

Review Spotlight: "This salon was BY FAR the most attentive to what I was looking for. The rooms were large enough to try on dresses and walk around in. My consultant first asked what I was looking for, then let us pick some selections to try on, and as I was trying the dresses on the consultant must've slipped away after each dress to pull others because she was constantly tailoring what I was trying on to what she noticed I liked in each dress. Ultimately, the consultant picked the PERFECT dress for me, and helped me to envision it in ivory, since they had it stocked in "rum" color by putting other ivory dresses under the top layer. ABOVE and BEYOND. She even helped me pick the veil and helped me think of ideas for a bolero that I wanted made. Highly recommend." —Rachel Z., The Knot Vendor Marketplace

They even have his dresses in the selection! ;) The dresses are absolutely gorgeous and priced so well. The selection is amazing. The entire boutique is so beautiful and spacious! They offer you complimentary drinks upon arrival. The bridal consultants were the sweetest and most knowledgeable pair ever! I had a mom and daughter duo: Sonja and Kat. It felt like I was being helped by people I had known for years; they were so welcoming and warm and supportive. I was nervous going into it and they made me feel so comfortable and confident in their advice. I totally would request them if that's allowed! If not, every girl in there greeted us with a smile so I'm sure they are all just as friendly and helpful.
