Bijou Bridal & Special Occasion

ing my dress that day! My seamstress was Maria and she made sure everything was absolutely perfect!

the second time with my mom and future MIL where I ended up choosing my dress. I did alterations through a specialist who contracts with the store, and everything was perfect. The stylist who ultimately helped me pick my dress was super knowledgeable about the inventory, the designers, and which dresses would have all the elements I wanted. I also really loved that they were able to hold my dress until right before my wedding because I didn't have a good place to keep it in my house, hidden from my husband.

was so accommodating. I tried on lots of dresses and kept going back to one. She was very patient with me! I ended up falling in love with a Bijou dress and from there the whole process was smooth. The dress arrived about 6 months after ordering and looked perfect when it arrived. Alterations through Bijou seemed a bit pricey to me, so I ended up using one of their preferred alterations team at their own shop rather than through Bijou. I highly recommend going this route if you need more than basic fitting alterations. I worked with Ziba and she was absolutely amazing. The dress fit like a glove and was so comfortable. She also altered my rehearsal dress and the mother of the groom dresses and they both looked amazing. We will be going back to her again and again. Overall, I would highly recommend Bijou bridal for their selection, kind staff and openness to allowing me to do alterations elsewhere.

awesome.

ointment, I was made to feel like my wedding was the most important event that was happening. This was the 3rd store I went to and in each of the previous 2 stores, I found a dress I loved but wasn't entirely sure. I showed my stylist, Caitlin, the 2 dresses and the 1st dress she pulled for me was "the one"! It was a perfect combination of the first 2 dresses and I felt amazing. Caitlin understood exactly what I wanted and was so helpful throughout the whole process. My family and I had such a positive experience that I immediately made appointments for my Bridesmaids and my mom. The bridesmaids dresses turned out beautiful and my mom looked and felt amazing in her dress as well. Every call, every appointment, every interaction with the Bijou staff was amazing. Thank you to Caitlin and Jenna and everyone else at the store for making me look and feel beautiful for my wedding day. You are truly amazing!

s absolutely wonderful and made all my alterations and special requests come to life.

erson and helped me try on all of my dresses. She and her colleagues managed to make me feel like the most beautiful person even when I was bloated and looked like crap. Bought my dress and when it came in, it was stunning. I loved the entire process and everyone there was extremely kind and helpful. If I’m ever in need of other formalwear I know exactly where I am going.

re absolutely gorgeous. I loved that you were able to get alterations and have all the fittings right there at the store. Super convenient! I definitely recommend visiting Bijou if you’re on the search for your perfect dress!

t to the stylists there!

hrough every step. My dress was absolutely stunning for my big day!

ted to try on. The girl who was supposed to help me, stood awkwardly near a rack and I had to get the dresses off the rack and carry them over to her. I asked for her input of what dresses to try on, and she didn’t give any. When it was time to try dresses on, she handed me a dress and said “ok just let me know when you’re ready and I’ll zip you up.” Comparable to other bridal stores, other attendants would assist me in getting the gown on and off. I was left alone trying to get in and out of these 20 lbs dresses . When it was time to walk outside to show my guests, the attendant stood off to the side and didn’t say a word. It made the experience so awkward. When on of the dresses didn’t fit me, I told the attendant the material Crepe wasn’t for me and I wasn’t interested in any more Crepe dresses. After I handed her back the dress. I heard her outside my fitting room getting help from her coworkers and there was a lot of whispering, then next thing I know there were 3 attendants trying to help me, which was very intimidating going from one attendant who didn’t speak to two more who didn’t introduce themselves. The next dress I was handed was Crepe disregarding my dislike. Even had I found the dress of my dreams, my experience alone would be enough for me not to purchase from this store.

ing to work with throughout my whole bridal process. I originally came alone to try on the dress and Jenna took so many pictures for me and made the experience feel not stressful at all. At this point I had tried on over 70 dresses and was exhausted with the process. I ended up coming back and buying the dress with my sister and they made ordering very easy. The dresses are reasonably priced and they had a wide variety. Because of the distance of where I live from the store, I opted to choose a tailor closer to home, which was a huge mistake. The woman did not fit the dress on me right and I immediately called Jenna and sent her pictures, after it was "done". She told me not to worry and that they could have one of their tailors help me fix the dress. Within an hour, she had three tailors ready to help me and they fit me in within a week. This was all about a month before my wedding so I was really anxious. The seamstress I worked with was so kind and made my dress fit perfectly! I wish I had done their tailoring from the beginning. I also ended up ordering my bridesmaid dresses from Bijou because they were able to order a specific color that I could not find anywhere else! All the ladies that work here were always helpful and encouraging. Jenna saved my wedding dress and I am so grateful for her and the Bijou team!

urchasing my dress, I did my alterations with them & was also very happy with how those turned out.

until I finally got it fitted in Jan 2022. I was particularly impressed by Jess, who did some expert alterations. My dress was all different lace patterns and I am short so it needed to be taken up by about a foot, and she made the alterations seamlessly. She was also patient and listened to what I was looking for in my dress, explaining everything she planned to do and adjusting it to my needs. I could not have asked for a better experience!

e find the perfect dress for the style of wedding I was having. Jenna was so excited every time I came into the salon to try on or purchase a bridal accessory! She was always willing to help. Jenna really made my shopping a positive and confident one! Beyond Jenna, Jess & Julie were also excellent to work with. Jess was excellent at my alterations and made sure everything fit properly. She was so friendly and understanding. We laughed a lot during our fittings! I can’t thank Bijou Bridal enough for being a key part of my special day. Many thanks to Jenna, Jess, and Julie! If you are looking for your dream dress I highly recommend Bijou Bridal for your needs!

tried it on 4th or 5th and it was the one!! Everyone there was me feel so beautiful and it was easy to make the decision. The dress was also very affordable.

me - I'm guessing a newer woman and one with more experience. They were both engaged and collaborating. It was such a fun experience. I had a dress in mind when I left - I thought it would THE dress! It turns out I didn't get that dress, but I still think about that day and feel like I was treated so well that it would be a good experience for anyone.

with Jenna helping me try on and pick up dresses, and really listening to what I wanted and what looked best on me. I didn’t want to put all my eggs in one basket, so I left and checked out other places and immediately thought “what the heck was I thinking- I’m definitely going back to Bijou!” Between the atmosphere, the customer service and finding the dress of my dreams, it was the easiest yes! The care and alterations/bustle of my dress was so carefully done, the dress was stunning. Here we are a year later after saying yes to the dress and I finally got to wear it on my big day. I couldn’t recommend this bridal boutique enough!

wn from this store I would still recommend to every bride!

tes and fabrics and really listened to what I wanted. I had a Friday morning appointment and pretty much had the place to myself! I was able to bring 4 guests with me, and in an hour and a half appointment, I tried on 5 dresses.

work with and I ended up getting a Justin Alexander dress with pockets!!! I also had my alterations done here. Overall, it was a great process, if you live in the area, I recommend them!

ad a great selections of dresses to choose from. I also did altercations here and they turned out perfect!

She was very knowledgeable and selected a beautiful dress for me to try on. I really really liked the dress but unfortunately, I had tried on another dress at another shop prior that I realized I loved even more. Although I did not purchase my dress here, it was a wonderful experience.

s I liked about every dress I tried to help me eventually find my dream dress. I was really impressed with the staff and the selection of dresses. Couldn’t be happier leaving Bijou with the dress of my dreams

find a veil via email that matched my dress perfectly. It was amazing working with her, she is extremely professional and kind. The alterations are insanely expensive. From the beginning, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my dress and was given a package price (basically to make it fit my body) and additional pricing to change the silhouette. Each time I went for a fitting, however, more charges were tacked on for what was already discussed. It was a little off-putting, but what was I going to do at that point? I couldn’t say no or take my dress elsewhere. I had my final fitting scheduled for the week prior to my wedding (this was maybe the 5th time I had to go in, which again seemed excessive). Two day before the fitting, I got a call that someone in the shop had tested positive for Covid. Are you serious? I went into immediate panic mode. They assured me that my dress would be ready for my wedding and they would do everything possible to make that happen. I wasn’t comfortable going into the shop again, I was not going to risk exposure to myself and my entire family! I was able to pick my dress up on the day my final fitting was scheduled, thank God, right? Well... when I got it home, it was still big around the chest (which had been an issue at every other fitting), there was a slight imperfection around the scalloped edge of the hem, and the transition from the bodice to the skirt was not how I discussed at my previous fitting. I don’t even know if the original seamstress worked on the final product. When I reached out to the shop, they basically told me the only thing I could do is go into the shop. Again... no. How is it fair to expose myself to this virus less than a week before my wedding!? I opted to just settle with my dress as is, which is upsetting. My dress was beautiful but less than perfect, thanks to the lack of attention from the alterations. The last thing I thought I would have to settle for (considering everything else), was this.

brought my 2 bridesmaids, as well as my mother and the mother of the groom. To no surprise, Bijou impressed yet again! Jenna was our consultant again and made my girls feel so comfortable! She made sure that each bridesmaid tried on dresses that they liked while looking on the rack and was very attentive. Jenna even pulled my wedding dress and accessories so that I could try it on while next to the girls to ensure that my vision for the wedding attire was perfect. In the end, we all agreed on the dress and color, and everyone was very happy with the choice! I am glad that I returned to Bijou and I look forward to working with their great team of consultants/stylists throughout my wedding planning process!

detail-oriented. This was my second time dress shopping so I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted in terms of style and shape. After taking a thorough look through my Pinterest board before I even arrived at the salon, Jenna’s first pick for me was THE dress! We tried on several other dresses in various different styles, but after over 2 hours, I came back to the very first dress and said yes! After saying yes to the dress, Chrissy helped me choose the perfect veil and tiara. My mom and I received the royal treatment at Bijou! We will definitely be returning to take a look at bridesmaids dresses, as well as mother of the bride/groom dresses!

ones to choose from!!), I found the PERFECT one, but an even better experience. I can't even point out one consultant because they are all incredible. They truly put themselves in your shoes to better understand what it is you envision, and they don't stop until you are without a doubt, and that's what I think is most important. Thank you to each and every one of you at Bijou Bridal(Ardmore, PA) for sharing this special moment with me, and making it even more special and memorable with your kindness, patience, thoughtfulness, creativity, and genuine feedback. I love you guys!! :)

with my appointment time (even on a Saturday) and accommodating of my rather large party include my three sisters and two moms. My assistant Jenna, was kind, bubbly and focused on me and what I wanted. She listened, but wasn't afraid to help guide me toward the dress of my dreams. She made me feel like a bride, without making me feel rushed or bullied toward a decision or having to make a purchase right then and there. No one treated me the way Jenna did at any other salon that I visited, she is a true star! When I needed to get back in on a Sunday to try on my dream dress, Jenna was right there to great me full of excitement. You will not find a better bridal salon or better people to help you feel like the bride you are!

I felt like this was the place i was meant to find my wedding dress. I felt it so strongly I came back TWICE and got to work with Jenna both times. She was patient and reassuring and worked with me, especially since... well, I loved MANY dresses, until we found the one. Chrissy was also by my side even though it wasn’t even in her job description ..(I don’t think haha !) Jenna and Chrissy quickly became like best friends to my mom, maid of honor and I as we all got our dresses at Bijou Bridal. Every time we came back it felt like visiting family and the woman who altered my dress... there aren’t enough words in the English language to describe how kind and attentive she was. To say it was a bittersweet day the day we picked up my dress for a final time is an understatement. But not to worry... Chrissy and Jenna took me up on my offer to CRASH MY WEDDING. You heard me. I’m sitting at my reception next to my new husband and bam in come Chrissy and Jenna. We got them seats and a meal and of course took some pictures. Bijou bridal is more than a wedding dress salon, it’s a family ❤️

time. We had a wonderful experience with a very talented and experienced seamstress. She worked around very complex beading and ensured that the dress fit perfectly. I felt beautiful and comfortable in my dress for the entire day. I highly recommend Bijou!

ve. The selection was great and the prices were much better than I expected! I'd recommend this salon and Jenna to anyone!

ut a problem. The woman doing my alterations was SO knowledgeable about the dress and the lines in it, she made it perfect!

from this boutique! Neena especially was amazing to work with! 10/10 would recommend.

recommend!

oved my experience shopping for the dress and Wendy, the seamstress did a really great job. Also the appointments were very accommodating. I received numerous compliments on my dress the day of my daughter's wedding and I felt absolutely beautiful in it. I cannot say enough good things about Bijou and would highly recommend them to future mothers of the bride or groom.

my entourage. they made sure they didn't pull a single dress over my price-point without consulting me first. The best part was that my consultant made sure that I removed dresses from my maybe pile every time I tried on a new one that I liked. I never thought I would find a dress that would make me feel so beautiful. I also did my fittings here, and Deborah was a fantastic seamstress. She made sure that my dress fit perfectly on the day of my wedding. The only negative thing I would have to say about Bijou is that they charge a "flat fee" for their fittings but then charge additional for extra bustle points. I was surprised how expensive the fittings ended up being; however, I would definitely recommend Bijou for your wedding attire.

and found NOTHING. However, at Bijou, I had 2 attendants who completely listened to what I wanted and stayed way UNDER budget! Almost every gown I tried on, I absolutely loved. Not only did they pull gowns that were perfect, but we had such a great time! It was like shopping with 2 friends I had known for years. I never felt rushed and never felt like they were pushing anything on me. Also, my family had a great time sitting in their beautiful room waiting for me to come out and show them the gowns. And then, the alterations process was also a dream!!! I LOVED my seamstress and we even got to know her pretty well, too! My mom, grandmother or sister came with me to those appointments and again had a great time. Bijou even had hours in the evening so I didn't have to take time off of work to just to get in for alterations. I felt like I had the perfect bridal shop experience throughout all of my interactions with Bijou. I would recommend them to any bride looking for her dream dress!!

elt pressured or like the sales woman wasn't listening to me. Just some really nice, genuine women who work here!

did not take it personally nor did it feel like she was in any way trying to change my mind. I ended up going with a completely different gown and was so glad I did! Bijou was also so great throughout the alterations process. The seamstress was so sweet and patient with me as I nitpicked through all the details, and the dress was absolutely flawless for my wedding day.

100 miles trying to find not only the dress but the dress in a sample size I could actually fit into. I contacted Bijou Bridal of Ardmore hoping they might have the dress I was looking for but they didn’t. Their NJ location had the dress and they offered to get the dress from the NJ location so that I could try it on. I had some concerns because the sample size was too small but I was still encouraged to come in and try on the gown. When I got there the dress was pulled out already and all set for me to try on. I found out during my appointment that not only did they get the dress free of charge from the other location a manager actually drove to the NJ location to get the dress for me to try on. I was absolutely stunned. To top it off my bridal consultant Jenna was amazing. She was extremely helpful and extremely friendly. She helped me feel good in the dress despite it being too small and we got to talk about our love of say yes to the dress. Not only was she amazing with me but she was amazing with my 2 month old, my entourage and she had no problem joking around with my fiancé. Once I decided that that dress was actually my dress she encouraged me to go back out on the “runway” and take a few pictures of my amazing Sophia Tolli gown. I loved working with Bijou and Jenna. I look forward to going back when my dress comes in and going in to shop for accessories. They could not have been anymore accommodating, if I hadn’t decided on that dress I couldn’t have seen myself getting a dress anywhere else they truly were amazing

e that caught our eyes. On my preference sheet, I noted I like lace, beading, wasn't a fan of the ballgown style, was more of a romantic glam gal but I would be open to trying things. The first couple gowns were bohemian and not the right style for me. Alaya assured me she had a plan and to not be discouraged, we were just warming up. She was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT dead on the money. The dress that literally made me a puddle of happy tears was mid-way through the line up. Alaya listened to EVERY bit of feedback and more so, my face and body language to pin point the exact perfect dress. Not to mention, the appt was for 1.5 hours but we were there for almost 3. I NEVER felt rushed and was just told to enjoy the process. 10 out of 10 would ABSOLUTELY recommend Bijou!!!
