BEWARE OF BESIDE THE BRIDE
To start this review off I would like to commend Maria for her attempt to help us with our dresses that were sized/made wrong. Maria was professional an...
d the only bright spot in our experience here.
We ordered three bridesmaid dresses in August after being fitted for them here. They arrived the first week of December (for a January 16th micro wedding) and all three of them didn’t fit. They were unable to be zipped in the back on all three of them. Beside the Bride tried to blame us and say that we all gained weight (at first). My girlfriend and I had both lost 8-10 pounds in preparation for this January wedding. We went for another fitting in which Maria measured us again (two of us) and she said that per the measurements taken before, all the dresses should fit. She thought it was a manufacturer error because she said the dimensions should fit us. The problem here is that Maria has no authorization to refund us so she needed to call the owner Jill. This was on a Saturday. Maria called Jill during our appointment and expressed that they would contact their rep and get back to us with a refund resolution by Monday or Tuesday at the latest.
Tuesday comes (the week of Christmas) and we still have heard nothing. I made a call and spoke to Maria who still says Jill will call us back later today. (Jill refused to ever meet with us or speak to me or any of the bridesmaids.) I call back again a few hours later and speak to Maria again. I ask that the bride please no longer be bothered and if Jill could please call me back. Jill then calls the bride and tells the bride that they won’t be refunding any of her bridesmaids because we signed off on their measurements. Jills solution for us to have bridesmaid dresses for the January 16th wedding was for us to take them to get them altered ourselves to have more fabric put in the back. What I gather from this is that Jill was aware of everything that was going on but simply did not want to refund or admit fault. She was making Maria do all her dirty work because Maria didn’t have authorization to give us refunds.
Bottom line is that Maria remeasured us, said our dresses should fit, went to Jill, Jill strung us along with the prospect of a refund and then on December 22 (wedding is January 16th) told us that her only solution was to take our faulty dresses and go get them altered ourselves. Yikes!
Wonderful place to buy a Mother of the Bride dress. Terry worked with us endlessly and was so polite and supportive.
We chose to use Beside the Bride for our daughter's wedding which took place at The Laurel in October. We worked closely with Maria in ordering all bridesmaids dresses and coordina...
ting the mailing and pick up of dresses. Maria was so easy to work with and her attention to detail spot on. She took a personal interest in all the dresses and made sure all girls were taken care of. We highly recommend this location for bridesmaid dresses for sure. Thanks, Maria! Roz Hyland

pful. I was able to find many dresses to decide from and she helped ease my mind and know that I had chosen the best dress for my bridesmaids.

Let me start off by saying that I got an account on The Knot just so I could leave a review specifically about how wonderful my experience was at Beside the Bride, especially with ...
Miranda's help. She went above and beyond to help me, my mother, and my maid of honor. She helped get us exactly what we need. Also, while I was there, another bride walked in and she had her appointment time mixed up, but Miranda stepped in MORE than happy to help her even though they were totally overwhelmed with appointments that day! All places should have their workers taught customer service by Miranda because she has it figured out!!!
Awful customer service! We walked in today and was chastised for not having an appointment by an older woman behind the counter. What a miserable awful person that is no way to tre...

uge bridal party of 11, including 2 of whom were pregnant, and they made it all work. My mom and I met this amazing tailor two times and she handled everything beautifully. She taught my mom how to do my bustle (we actually had to have my mom come up on my wedding day to do it because she was the only one who could firgure it out, thanks to her advice). I felt so happy in my dress and my mom did too! I fully intend on sending her a hand written note letting her know how happy we were. Love y'all and I will of course recommend you to everyone!
I visited Beside the Bride last Tuesday with two of my bridesmaids. They were crazy busy but Carrie helped me and she was the best! Very attentive and knew her stuff! I have visite...

keen eye to the style and color that works for my stature and coloring. These ballgowns are for high-profile entrepreneur celebrations, rather than weddings. This store has such a great selection that you can find beautiful dresses for all events.. I feel great wearing the gowns I've purchased from Terry!

esses! As a bride this is a must! Also, an extra experience that no bride EVER wants to have go through, I had to remove my MOH 1 month before the big day!! I contacted Maria and her and her manager worked their magic and got me another dress that was absolutely perfect!! The whole stressful process of replacing someone and a dress in short notice was made stress free by these wonderful people!! I couldn't been more thankful of how Maria took all the extra steps to make sure my special day perfect! Thank you so much!

and patient. You can buy dresses almost anywhere, but it was Sarah who made our experience so special. She has a great feel for what styles flatter what body types and was always willing to give her honest opinion. The store itself has a great selection of BM dresses as well as MOB dresses. Can't recommend this place enough. AND I got a VERY nice discount for being a BB Bride!

Extremely disappointed in the level of customer service and friendliness.
