Alyssa's Bridal

or everything you need!

audacity to tell her she had gotten fat since the first time she came in to choose her dress. Thankfully I had taken photos of my bridesmaids and MOH in the dresses they ordered when they ordered them. They straightened that out but it was unnecessary stress. One of the men tried to blame the error on one of my bridesmaids by saying someone called in their sizes and changed their dress. No one did. He just didn’t want to admit that they’d messed up. Story Time for Wedding Dress: The first time I went in, I found my dress. It was beautiful and I was happy. I went to go pay and that was when they told me that it’s a +$250 charge for sizes 18+. I was a little annoyed but being a plus size person, I understood because that’s just how it is. They took my measurements in store. The receipt I was given said that I ordered a size 20. When the dress came in, it wasn’t even the dress that I ordered. My dress had cutouts under the arm that helped shape my torso. The dress I received did not have the cutouts and it was ordered in a size 18W. I looked it up online at Allure and due to the dress being newer than 2018, the difference between an 18W and 20 was almost two inches. They said we could either reorder the size 20 or alter the size 18W by adding the cutouts, which would let out the dress out a little around my ribs. If we reordered, we wouldnt have time to do the alterations. So I chose to do the alteration. Big mistake. The cutouts weren’t in the same sleek shape and the additional alterations to let the dress out were visibly noticeable. During my last fitting, my dress was still a little too tight (they had let it out about an inch) but at that point it was the week of my wedding and we didn’t have time to do much else. One of the men then told me not to feel bad about myself—“we all eat when it’s cold outside.” At the end of the day, a dress that was supposed to cost me ~$1400 ended up costing me $2000+ after alterations and steaming. After all the hell that I went through with this shop, they didn’t offer a discount or even offer to steam the dress on the house. I strongly suggest against using Alyssa’s Bridal for wedding/bridesmaids dresses. In addition, they are not very plus-size friendly.

the beginning, I knew something was different. A sweet girl by the name of Sarah met me as I came in (she was with the owner). She was kind and smiling. She took me over into the dresses and listened to what I envisioned for my dress, and the past experiences I had with dress shopping. She was hopeful I would find my dress, and this time would be better! She started taking dresses that I liked over and setting them aside. Then she recruited the help of a more senior consultant Shawna. And Shawna was a saint! Together with Sarah and Shawna I had a tag team of consultants that I felt understood my vision, my likes, and dislikes. plus, I felt I could trust their experience. I trusted them to pull dresses that I necessarily wouldn't first think of trying. And I am soooo glad I did. Because they gave me this dress called "Alma" and she was beautiful. She was a lace bohemian style, with a lace bodice, and a V-shaped back. She was Cream, and Ivory two-tone variant. I stepped into her and was sold. Shawna would ask me about where my rating of the dresses were, and if they didn't make it near an 8 we would take them off and not think twice. But as soon as I tried this dress it was at the top of all others. I came out of the dressing room saying it's a 9! I didn't want to take her off. The dress was so pretty, and Sarah and Shawna dolled me up and put a cathedral veil on me and I looked and felt like a princess. Then they looked and they asked that all-important question... "Are you saying yes to this dress?" I did! It was such a sweet magical moment where I found myself crying happy tears. I had found my wedding dress. I can not say enough positive things about my experience with/at Alyssa's Bridal. It was such a vast contrast to the previous experience at David's Bridal. I would recommend brides come here first and ask for Sarah, and Shawna they are amazing! I wasn't rushed, I wasn't lacking for assistance or choices in dresses. They were so wonderful. I felt attended to, listen to, and respected. I felt like they cared. I plan on shopping there for my Fiance, and his groomsmen's suits. They can also help with bridesmaids, and mothers of the bride, groom outfits too! They are a one-stop shop!

hter had to pick the right dress for her wedding day. Last but not least as for pricing they can't be beat, they have a plan for every budget, how awesome is that a one stop shop for your dress, and bridesmaids dresses, mother of the bride dresses as well as all other necessary accessories, along with any other needs and concerns you may have, they happily assist you in the right direction! Forever thankful for Alyssa's Bridal and their staff.

t, understanding, and very personable. The owners took time to talk with me and my family and that customer service goes a long way in our book! The owners are awesome, customer service is amazing, and the dress options/selections are vast. Highly recommended shopping at Alyssa’s!

it dinner!!!Thank you !!! This place Beats any of the bridal stores in the area by far.

d how awesome the dress looked on me. He also made a comment about what I should wear on my wedding night. Then when trying to leave the store, he would move in front of me when trying to leave! I just had to be rude and walk out, which is what I should’ve done from the very beginning!!!

chael and team made that dream come true. He ordered the lace from my dress and made full length sleeves for me. The results were absolutely stunning! I ordered all my bridesmaids dresses from here as well... once again, absolutely STUNNING!

id and done, and with my bridesmaids dress it was around $3,000 total (we paid for them though). There was some "mis-communication" at times, but overall I was happy with what we got!

em again, but hopefully I never have to!! ;) Spent around $1,500, but they have a huge range of prices!

e pay for the hemming. after about 2 weeks of fighting with them they ended up steaming it for free

the dress), there was no pressure of feeling that they were trying to upsell me and I ended up with a dress that fit me like a glove. I was extremely impressed by the entire process and especially the alterations. I was only engaged for seven months and I only had to go to Alyssa's three times - once to pick out the dress, once for a fitting, and once for a final fitting and to leave with the dress!

med at Alyssa's and they did a wonderful job. Very reasonable prices. Be sure to check them out!

nd worked with me to find exactly what I was envisioning. They were also great about making custom features to the gown I chose. A longer train, added blusher to the veil, buttons to the back of the gown, etc. Because I was from out of town all the ordering was done long distance but to perfection. They were happy to help and made sure I received my gown in time to have a local seamstress complete the final tucks and touches. My sister ended up having her bridesmaid's dress alterations done here and was also very pleased with the result. Wonderful experience and glad I stopped by to find my dream gown!

could not tell what it would look like on me. This might be a good place for others, but I was not happy with my experience.

ered for me to try it on. We left without trying anything on at all, I think we were in the store for a grand total of 20 minutes or so. I had an appointment, but no one came to greet or meet me, from the time I walked in to the time I left, I only got help from the ladies I asked to see if the dresses I liked were in stock.

They did some rush alterations and I had a perfect fitting dress in plenty of time!

nd he agreed to do all the alterations for under $200 and the French bustle for about $25. I paid for the dress and alterations and kept my dress until the end of May. I had my first fitting with Michael and he pinned the side seams and then started to address the top. Because the dress was being altered so much it was going to alter the line of the dress from the cups down to the back. Michael folded the dress over on the size of my breast and asked if I felt that was too revealing. I felt that it was and told him this. He told me that they would go on and take up the side seams and then the next fitting we would deal with the top and the hem. He informed me they would call me when I needed to come back for the next fitting. By the beginning of July I had not heard from them so I called and was told my dress was there and I could come in whenever I wanted for the next fitting. I went in on July 6th with my mom, tried on the dress and imagine my shock when I learned that they had went on and cut the top in the manner that I had told them I wasn’t comfortable with. There was nothing to do about it at that point except to make it fit tighter so it was more secure. The other owner was there at that time and argued with me about it not needing to be tighter, but ultimately pinned it to take about a ¼ inch off each side. I was supposed to have my dress back a week prior to my wedding so I could take it to another vendor who had made a sash for my dress and was to be putting that on. I had to call every day the week it was supposed to be done and was told multiple times that it was still at the seamstress and someone would call me back about when I could pick it up. Finally, on the day I was supposed to pick it up I received a call from Michael telling me that my dress would be there that afternoon. When I went to pick it up, they had not taken up the extra on the sides to secure the top as I had asked, but at that point I no longer trusted them to work on my dress and took it the way it was. I wish Michael had told me originally that due to the amount of alteration to be done it was going to alter the dress dramatically and I would have gone with one of the other choices, which I could have ordered in my own size. If I could do it again, I would have gone elsewhere and would have bought a different dress.
