Super professional, my consultant (who I believe was the owner!) knew what I wanted before I even did. I had a great time trying on dresses, and had a real Say Yes to the Dress moment! Highly recommend!
I had such an amazing experience at Amara. First, I’m a dummy and booked the wrong date and showed up a week early. Rebecca was SO NICE and helped me anyway. She really knows what she is doing, and the second dress she pulled was the one. The dresses are very affordable, but nothing about the experience, shop, or dresses felt cheap or like we were in a budget shop. I’m plus size, but didn’t feel like my dress selection was limited at all. 10/10 would recommend
I was looking for a bridal store outside of the bridal district because I was paying for my dress myself and not looking to spend a fortune. It was also important to me to find a shop that had a good range of plus sized gowns as I wanted to be able to try on as many gowns as possible. This lead me to Amara Bridal which had lots or reviews mentioning reasonable prices and a wide array of sizes available in store. We booked an appointment and I was able to bring 6 people with me. We had the salon to ourselves for the majority of the appointment and the young lady helping me was so sweet! I regret that I can’t remember her name. The whole shopping experience was really great and I found my gown that day.
I purchased my gown in January or February 2022 with my wedding not happening until September 2023. I was nervous that supply chain issues were still impacting the wedding gown market and I didn’t want to risk anything. I’m so grateful I did this, because the first time my gown arrived it was in the wrong color! The salon noticed and immediately ordered another one at no additional cost to me.
It still arrived in plenty of time and I picked it up in January 2023. My only negative was that when I picked it up, I tried it on again and the gown fit like a glove. The person helping me made a comment that I would have to be careful not to gain any weight between now and the wedding in order to make sure the gown still fit. I realize she was probably just trying to be helpful, but I don’t find it appropriate to comment on a stranger’s weight or their maintenance of said weight. I realize I may be a bit sensitive, but I think it is a really sensitive topic for so many women and they should be cognizant of that. For what it’s worth, the dress still fit me beautifully 9 months later on my wedding day.
Overall, I would still recommend! Like I said the shopping and purchasing experience were great. I had plenty of dresses to choose from and try on, my salesperson was very respectful of my budget, and the salon ensured that everything was in order when I got my gown. It’s a great alternative to the bridal district experience!
Amara Bridal Boutique is a brides dream experience. Rebecca is the best. She was so kind, patient and extremely accommodating to my bridal party. The ability to have a private experience takes this boutique over the top. I found my dream gown at an affordable price… I recommend Amara Bridal to all brides.
Loved loved loved shopping for my gown at Amara!!! Wide variety, stylist really listened to me what I wanted, listened to me when I said things I loved and didn’t love about dresses I tried on and eventually we landed on the one in a short amount of time as well. Stylists made me feel beautiful and took their time with me, showing me all the veil and accessory option as well, very accurate in their delivery time frame and even mailed my gown to my house when it arrived so I would not have to travel the 3 hours back for pick up! I highly recommend this bridal boutique when shopping for your gown!
Absolutely loved my experience at Amara. We had our second visit today and I ended up purchasing my dream dress. You get an amazing bridal boutique experience with pricing for a budget bride. I forget the names of the ladies that helped me at my appointments but they were both super helpful and sweet. I will be recommending Amara to any other brides I know in the future!
This to boutique is amazing! They really know their craft in finding their brides the dress of their dreams. I went when the state had tighter regulations because of covid. I wasn't able to pull the dresses off the rack so they had to do it for me. They picked out dresses based on what I liked and found one that I wouldn't have picked out myself and it ended up being my dress. I started crying as soon as it was zipped up. We tried on a few more after that but I knew it was my dress. It was that fairy tale moment and because of the staff here, they made that happen. I got so many compliments on my dress on my wedding night. I HIGHLY recommend this boutique to anyone wedding dress shopping.
Rebecca was amazing! I was looking for a black dress and she only had one but it was my dress. We did make some changes to the order to make it my own and she loved it so much that she ordered one the same way I did. She was great, kind, and so helpful. Would 100% recommend Amara Bridal!
Was very happy with my experience at Amara - their dresses are beautiful and so reasonably priced. My dress was perfect. The owner was so kind and helpful with pulling dresses that met my style and it’s a very personal experince having the bridal salon to yourself as the only bride trying on gowns. Would highly recommend!
I purchased my gown at Amara last weekend and was so pleased with my experience. I was coming off of a terrible shopping experience the weekend before, so I came in with no expectations and did not think I would find a dress at all. However, Corie very quickly changed all of that for me!
Corie was so sweet and helpful and immediately started pulling dresses based off of the style I told her I loved. She didn't even have to take my measurements: she knew immediately what to do. I think I tried on at least 6 or 7 dresses and just when I felt I had found the one I wanted, she told me she could top it and she did. As soon as she helped me into that final dress and then slipped the veil on my head, I was done for. I had that moment that every girl dreams of and got tears in my eyes. I knew I had found my dress!
I am so thankful for Corie who made my experience so amazing! I was comfortable with her right from the start and we had great conversation and laughter as I tried on dresses. I found Amara by chance and I am so glad I did because it was everything dress shopping should have been.
Thank you Corie for making my experience so incredible! I will definitely be sending my friends to you in the future!! :)
Rebecca was amazing. So helpful to have the expert guidance on what looked best but also what you like. Great quality gowns and have plenty of price ranges for all. Professional and gorgeous boutique to make any bride feel like she is in a dream.
Rebecca was absolutely amazing! I went in with three dress styles I liked and she had them all in the store. She was very attentive and extremely knowledgeable. This was my first time trying on dresses so she had me try on a few to rule out a style or fabric choice which really helped solidify my decision. There are two large dressing rooms and even with there being another person in the store shopping there was never a time were we were interrupted, and we felt like we had the entire place to ourselves!! The prices of the dresses are fantastic! I ended up buying the first dress I tried on and I can’t stop thinking about how perfect it is! I would 100% recommend this boutique to anyone looking for a gorgeous gown and a personalized experience!
I was nervous about finding a dress after already having one less than great experience else where, so I called and made an appointment after reading the reviews. I told the woman what I needed, and the associate was very kind and assured me they'd be able to help me. I showed up very hopeful, but right away the associate was struggling to find dresses for me to try. I wanted something modest. She found one dress that was nice, and when I tried it back on to reevaluate it, I was told I could only have the sample (which was not in good shape), due to "time constraints." I get it, wedding dresses take a lot of time to order/alter. But we're talking 5 months out. Luckily my husband booked me an appointment the following day elsewhere, because I left feeling very let down. I was also told I'd have the store to myself, and during my appointment the next bride came in hours before their appointment and got the run of the place. Nice shop but not a good experience for me.
Amara was the best boutique I visited while dress shopping. Not only do you get to schedule a private appointment to pull and try on dresses, but they also are kind and endlessly helpful along the way. I have since referred bride friends who have purchased from Amara as well and we all would recommend Amara to anyone. Also they are very reasonably priced (every dress is under $1000)
This place is the best! It was my first stop for my dress and they were so kind and helpful. I didn't feel rushed or pressured to make a decision! Rebecca helped me to narrow down the options and I found my dress that same day. They didn't pressure me to buy at all and let me come back a second time to make sure I really wanted it. My bridesmaid who went with me loved them so much she is now going to shop there for her dress. Can't say enough about how affordable and awesome this place is!
I went shopping for my wedding gown here last August. What a special experience!!! I had a larger than normal group with me and Rebecca was more than accommodating. This is a store all brides should try in their search for their gown. I would and will recommend this store to any bride I know.
THE BEST!!!!!! Such a helpful staff & absolutely wonderful. The best hype woman ever! I felt beautiful in my dress thanks to her kind words. 10000/10 suggest! Reasonably priced.
I came into Amara thinking I wasn't going to find a dress anywhere and that I wanted to wear a jumpsuit. While Rebecca didn't try to convince me to buy one of her dresses, she was able to find me two dresses that I loved! Just because this boutique is small and affordable doesn't mean it doesn't have great dresses for everyone. It is also extremely refreshing to get one on one attention and not to be talked or rushed into anything! Rebecca is very knowledgeable and down to earth. I would recommend her to anyone!
I can’t emphasize how wonderful Rebecca is from Amara Bridal. With each appointment the store is reserved for you and your guests so you feel so special with all the attention on you. Rebecca and her girls were very understanding and met all my needs/wants. I am so thankful that I found this store and found my perfect dress! HIGHLY recommend Amara Bridal Boutique.
I went to every bridal store in the wedding district and could not find a dress that I loved.
But luckily I was referred to Amara Bridal Boutique. I found the dress of my dreams the first time in!!! Rebecca was so sweet and helpful. She helped me find lace fabric to make custom sleeves for the dress too! So that my dress could be one of a kind!! I have recommend all my brides to her!
I purchased my ceremony dress here and wow... I received so many compliments. The Amara boutique experience is sure t leave you feeling special. The owner made sure my mom and I had all of our questions answered. The range of prices for the quality they provide is insane. Please stop by and check them out!
I love this store! Beautiful gowns that are still within budget. Rebecca is amazing too, very respectful of what we were willing to spend and what kind of style I was looking for. Very relaxed setting, not pushy at all, and the space inside is beautiful. I will recommend her shop any chance I get.
I loved my experience here and they have beautiful gowns and they are so nice .they don't rush you they take there time . I honestly wish I could go back to just try them all on
I would 100% recommend amara bridal bouquet. Rebecca was so wonderful! I cannot say enough great things about her. When I first came to her shop I was a little discouraged and nervous. Every shop I had gone to before was rude and disrespectful. I wanted my dress shopping experience to be special. What bride wouldn’t! Yet every bouquet I went to before amara immediately dismissed me and my $1000 budget. I was so lucky to find amara bridal boutique which specializes in gowns under or close to my budge. Rebecca made me feel at ease and special. I didn’t really know what I wanted, she actually took the time to show me each dress she owned. You can tell she really loves her job, and she’s great at it. I was able to find a dress I absolutely love! All of her dresses are so beautiful!!! You would never guess that they were all close to $1000. Some were the exact same style as some of the $2000 dollar dresses the other shops tried to talk me into buying. Thank you Rebecca for being a part of my special day! I will forever be grateful for your kindness.
Found the perfect dress at Amara thanks to Rebecca. She was so helpful and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole appointment. It was the ideal experience for me because we got to have the quiet and beautiful shop all to ourselves (which is how Rebecca schedules all appointments). While searching for the dress, we got to go at my own pace and take our time. At other places I've felt insecure, rushed, and just uncomfortable, but at Amara it just felt right.
Rebecca helped me find the dress I wanted, even when my party had really big opinions on what they wanted! I am so happy with my dress and that I stayed true to myself!
I had a great experience finding my wedding dress, and I am not a person who enjoys dress shopping. It was fun, but also laid back. I would highly recommend Amara Bridal Boutique.
This place is amazing!! I found my dress right away and stayed in my budget! Excellent one on one experience!!
This place is great! You get the whole store to yourself to try on dresses. It’s so nice to have the undivided attention of Rebecca. She would even pay close attention and pull more gowns that she thought I would like. She has beautiful gowns for great prices! Other places were crowded and not professional. I highly recommend Amara Bridal Boutique!
Amara Bridal Boutique is a small and intimate shopping experience. The whole store is blocked for 1.5 - 2 hours just for you so that you can try on dresses and invite your friends and family to come help you make your decision. It’s a really nice experience and Rebecca is so helpful! The dresses are reasonably priced. I love the Sophia Tolli dresses and ended up getting one of these. They are gorgeous! Highly recommend!
Rebecca was amazing the day I went dress shopping for my dream dress. She made me feel beautiful and happy during the whole time I was in her shop. I went in with a vision of one dress I wanted and walked out with a whole different style dress. I love my dress and loved my experience with Rebecca. She definitely goes above and beyond for you during your time at her shop. She never made me feel pressured to buy any of the dresses. I highly recommend this bridal shop!
Amara Bridal Boutique is one of a kind, truly! I really didn't want to go to a big store with a lot going on and I also didn't want to go to one of the smaller boutiques that pride themselves on their fancy, expensive dresses. I live about 2.5 hours north and this was totally worth the drive! You get the store to yourself with Rebecca's undivided attention and assistance, as well as great selection to some amazing gowns at a really great price! There was no pressure to buy a dress that day or even from her store. I could tell that Rebecca wanted me to love my dress no matter where it was from. It wasn't an issue of whether I wanted to get a dress there or not, it was how to decide which one! The experience was so personal and while some dresses may take longer, my dress came in a week later!
Amara’s Bridal is a brides dream come true when it comes to the personalized attention she gives each bride. She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable. The best part of all during your appointment you have the whole store to yourself. She makes the experience one of a kind!
Loved this experience and Rebecca is wonderful! Highly recommend
Rebecca was amazing!! Her selection of dresses was perfect and I walked away knowing I had made the perfect decision for my wedding dress. She's so friendly and really made the wedding dress shopping process enjoyable.
I am so happy I found Amara Bridal!
The day I went dress shopping my mom and I decided to go to 5 different stores through out the day. I saw and tried on many beautiful dresses, but they were not right for me. The consultants at the other stores were trying to help multiple people at once and didn't have the time to help me find what I needed, additionally they kept pressuring me to make a snap decision and purchase a dress now.
Amara Bridal was my last stop of the day, and I was emotionally wrung out. The previous place had left me in tears. This was supposed to be a happy day, but was turning into an exercise in frustration.
We went to Amara and I was Rebecca's only client (during my appointment). She never made me feel like I was being too choosy or wasting her time. She made me feel beautiful and listened to me as I told her what I was looking for. We tried on three dresses, and I knew what dress I wanted.
Wedding Dresses are expensive so I told her I needed to sleep on it to make sure I wanted to buy that dress. She was extremely supportive.
The next day I just couldn't stop thinking about how much I loved it, so I ordered it. When she measured me for my wedding dress size I was between two sizes. My bust and hips suggested one size, but my waist was an inch too large for that size. Since it was so close, it made ordering a little more complicated. Rebecca was ordering that dress in a larger size for the store, so offered to order one size and I would order the other. She would allow me to try both on and whichever fit better I could take home. She went above and beyond, and I am so happy I went here!
I had a fantastic experience at Amara Bridal Boutique! Rebecca was amazing and put me right at ease. Her shop is beautiful with a great selection of gowns. Rebecca listened to my vision and was more than willing to work with my budget. She personally walked me through the store to help me select gowns. I loved that it was just me and my guests in the shop allowing for a personalized experience. I found dream dress and bought it off the rack! I will recommend all my future bride friends to go to Amara for their gown!
I can’t speak enough about how wonderful of an experience dress shopping at Amara Bridal was. Having gone dress shopping with friends for their big days, I had no desire to be trying on dresses in a crowded room with 4 other brides. I didn’t want to have to roam looking for a free mirror or deal with consultants getting pulled in different directions. If you want personalized attention this place is for you. Each bride has the store to herself; Rebecca closes the store for every appointment.
Let me tell you more about my personal experience. I found a dress I wanted to try on her website. Me, not knowing any better, thought that meant it would be in the store. So I didn’t call or reach out to confirm if she had it prior to my appointment. When I arrived at the boutique, she stated she didn’t have that particular dress in the shop, but she had similar dresses and other dresses by that same designer. I tried on 10 stunning dresses that day, but still couldn’t get the one I originally saw out of my head. Rebecca mentioned the possibility of a loaner program in which she could try to get that dress shipped to the store for me to try on. She knew how much I wanted to try on the dress so she told me to reach out to OTHER STORES (that’s right, she suggested I call other places to see if they had it available so I could try the dress on sooner, even though that might’ve meant losing my business) and if the other local stores didn’t carry it she’d reach out to the designer to see if it was in the loaner program. A little over 24 hours later I emailed Rebecca to let her know that none of the local stores I called that carried the designer had that particular dress. Later that night I got a reply back stating she’d reach out to the designer the next morning. To make an already long story short, the dress wasn’t available in the program but Rebecca was able to get that dress in my size (brand new) from the designer shipped to her store with no obligation for me to buy. Needless to say, when I tried it on about two weeks later, I absolutely loved it and bought it that same day.
So let’s review: one on one attention, a consultant who seriously goes the extra mile for her brides, and stunning dresses: why would you shop any place else?
Loved this shop. the boutique owner was very accommodating and friendly; but professional. The selection although small, was elegant and quite a variety to choose from. We drove from Indiana to see the collection and was not disappointed. We left with a dress. The price was reasonable and worth our drive. I would definitely recommend this shop.
I got my dress for my June 8, 2018 wedding from
Amara Bridal. I started wedding dress shopping in early January of 2018 and when I looked at vendors, I wanted to stay away from any places where you are surrounded by other brides or passers by. At Amara Bridal, once you schedule an appointment, you and whoever you bring have the entire boutique for that hour and no one else can get in without an appointment. I didn't have to feel like strangers were staring at me which was awesome because that would make me very anxious!
That being said, though, a lot of the wedding dresses there were many sizes too large for me (I am a Size 4 usually) so trying them on with clips folding the dress in the back was okay, but for most dresses I just couldn't use my imagination to figure out what a dress in the right size for me would fit like - the bust on them was too large and you can't clip that out of the way...
I loved Amara Bridal's website. There I found the dress I really loved and after trying 12 others in person, ordered that one without ever trying it on and it came in without a hitch in the right size for me and fit so well that I outright bought it on the spot.
I do not have one bad thing to say about my experience at Amara Bridal! All of the dresses are beautiful and at a very affordable price. Rebecca was very friendly and accommodating and I love that I had the whole place to myself for my shopping experience.
I could not have asked for a better experience in finding my wedding dress! I planned my wedding from out of state and discovered Amara's amazing selection of gowns online. All of the gowns are gorgeous, and the store has a great variety for those who don't know exactly what style of dress they want. Rebecca was absolutely wonderful to work with! She even opened the store early so I could pick-up and try on my dress since I was traveling from out-of-state. I highly recommend Amara Bridal Boutique for brides who are looking for a fun and relaxed experience in finding the dress of their dreams!
Amara Bridal is wonderful! Rebecca kept me updated on shipment information on my dress. She also wanted to make sure my dress was steamed before I picked it up. She was so friendly and helpful!
Amara Bridal Boutique is perfect for Brides who want a comfortable and fun experience, along with a beautiful dress for the big day! Her collection is specifically tailored to include beautiful gowns that look and feel fantastic on any person. I also went to the big stores and did not have the same success as I had at Amara. There were 3 or 4 in her store that I could have said “yes!” to, where there were none in the larger stores.
I located Amara after I called over 20 Bridal stores in the Midwest to find a very specific Sophia Tolli dress. Out of all 20 stores, the owner of Amara Bridal Boutique, Rebecca, was the only one who offered to help me try on my dream dress! She used her connections with other store owners in the US and the dress manufacturers to get the dress shipped to her store where I could try it on. It ended up being THE dress! I never could have found it without her!!
Rebecca will take care of you if you find your dress at Amara! I highly recommend scheduling your appointment to see the difference working with an owner who truly cares about you and your big day!
I couldn't be happier with my gown and the quality of service! I am from SE WI and found Amara Bridal Boutique online on the site preownedweddingdress.com. (my dress was brand new) I had reached out to Rebecca on that site about a gown that I fell in love with. Her communication with me so responsive with in the site. I decided I had to take the 6hr road trip to see this gown in person before I purchased. It was very easy to make an appointment on her site. When we arrived I was definitely feeling anxious and nerves were going crazy (I have crazy anxiety). As soon as I stepped in her boutique, and spoke with her I instantly felt at total ease. Rebecca is very calm and laid back which was so helpful for me. We had the entire shop to ourselves which I absolutely Loved Loved Loved!! Compared to my visit at a David's Bridal where they put you in a closet size dressing room, rush you in and out of gowns and .. well the list goes on with that horror story. The dressing room at Amara was large and beautiful. I truly can't speak enough about how much I truly enjoyed my experience and was able to purchase my dream dress at such an amazing price and walk out with it!!! I highly recommend this Boutique to new Brides! If you are in the area or want to take a drive and receive amazing service GO VISIT AMARA, you wont regret it! Thank you thank you thank you Rebecca!!
Rebecca at Amara Bridal is great and gives you a personal shopping experience. I found her shop because I was interested in a specific designer. She and I exchanged emails and phone calls before I came in to the shop because I had a very specific idea in mind for what I wanted in my dress. She worked with me to bring in additional samples from Stella Tolli (for a fee), but then that was applied to my dress purchase. She had great advice and gave me new ideas to think about. She knows her stuff :) I loved supporting a small business owner!
What a wonderful experience! Rebecca is attentive, considerate, and truly wants the bride to choose the gown she wants. I loved the intimate feeling of my sessions because I had the whole show room to myself- a definite plus to this boutique. I highly recommend!
I enjoyed how personable Rebecca was. I loved that it was a one on one experience. Also I can say I never worried about my dress. When she even thought it was going to be late she reached out to be and even had the maker reach out as well. I have booked with her alterations team. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this shop!! You want to feel like the ONLY bride in the world!! Visit her!! You won’t regret it
After my first experience with a larger chain bridal store, I was left feeling disenchanted. When I walked into Amara, my spirits were immediately lifted. The boutique is not overwhelming in the least, but yet, had a wide selection of (affordable) gowns. Rebecca was great. I felt like she really listened to what I wanted. She guided me in the direction to choosing the dress that was right for me. I highly recommend Amara Bridal Boutique if you're looking for a more personal bridal gown search experience.
I had tried on so many dresses I lost count and was getting discouraged with bridal salons and crazy high prices. I was browsing preownedweddingdresses.com and found an amazing dress that I fell in love with at first sight. I realized the boutique was only a two hour drive away so I emailed to set up an appointment and they held the dress for me until I could get there. As soon as I arrived I felt comfortable and at ease. My dress was perfect and I saved so much money that I just felt amazing! I totally recommend this boutique!
Rebecca's store, Amara Bridal Boutique, was exactly what I was looking for! The store was perfect for a small, intimate experience! She was a great listener and helped me find the PERFECT dress I had been searching for! She helped me order my dress with ease and her website was easy to navigate! GREAT EXPERIENCE OVERALL!!!!!!! Thanks Rebecca for helping me find my dream wedding dress! :)
