Trying dresses on here was a horrible experience. I began my wedding dress journey here, and as a plus size, older bride, I was beyond nervous about what I would feel and look like in the most important dress of my life. This place made me feel terrible. The very first dress I tried on was so bad and I was treated so poorly that as I stood looking at myself, all I could think was that I wanted to cancel the wedding because there was no way I would ever look beautiful in front of people. I hated how the attendant, Bee, treated my mother, a professional wedding coordinator and designer, as if she was an afterthought and a nuisance, contradicting everything she said and dismissing her outright. We were shepherded past another, more visible fitting area to a hot, cramped, poorly lit back corner, and I can’t help but wonder if it was because as a “unattractive” bride, I was to be hidden from the other clientele. I was shown old, wrinkled, ugly dresses with dated fabric and unflattering designs. Bee barely touched me, never making an effort to fit the gowns to my body or find ways to make me feel seen. I was making my best effort to work with her, but she wouldn’t let my mother help me in or out of dresses, wouldn’t help me herself, and I was left to struggle to make them work alone in front of the mirror. She barely asked about the vision for the wedding, never asked my mother or best friend their names, was impolite and condescending the entire appointment. What hurt the most was how she never made an effort to see what I needed or make me feel beautiful in any way. I walked away in tears. This should never have happened to me. Contrasting this appointment with a second one we had the same day, in which I was treated with care, dignity, and attention to detail, I would never recommend any bride work with Blue Sky for any reason, especially plus size brides.
Do better.

I had an appointment with Giselle during one of the bridal sales in September 2024. The store was small, but the space felt very intimate. My two friends and I had a section to ourselves with a "try-on" station and a couch. I ended up letting Giselle pick out dresses from their selection for me to try-on, since I felt a little overwhelmed by the idea of dress shopping. I had a brought a few reference ideas, and I gave her my budget. I ended up loving the first dress she brought out that was a sample dress. This was the first place we went for dresses, so I feel like I really lucked out. Blue Sky also gave me recommendations of alteration shops to get the dress fitted. I was so nervous about dress shopping, but they were so sweet. I just got married this March, and I had so many compliments on my dress!

Blue Sky Bridal helped me find an eco-friendly and budget-friendly dress that I absolutely loved wearing! The staff are exceptionally welcoming and genuine, and when asked, they provide great advice and guidance about dress styles and how to complete the outfit without breaking the bank. I enjoyed trying on a variety of dresses that I would not have picked out myself, but ended up really liking. I highly recommend this store, and have accompanied one of my friends here since my own wedding!

I had never been to a wedding dress place before the day I walked into Blue Sky Bridal. I usually don't wear dresses (literally ever), and I had NO IDEA what I wanted. I just knew I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg! I also brought my best friend's mother and sister and my future mother and sister-in-law. I was so terrified of trying on dresses in front of anyone. Even worse, I definitely did not know my sizes or how the process worked. I was thrilled with how wonderful the staff was to me. Their kindness and understanding made sure I had privacy, made the whole event joyful, and were so kind to me as I honestly had some moments feeling a tiny bit overwhelmed. I tried on about 13 dresses, and even though I said I didn't think I wanted a sparkly and long train... that's precisely what I fell in love with! It was honestly a fantastic experience, and I am so glad I went!
What was even better is I found the dress of my dreams in a beautiful price range!
I HIGHLY recommend Blue Sky Bridal!!!!

I had the BEST experience! I’m polyamorous and my partners and I are doing a commitment ceremony wedding, and I’m always a little anxious because non-monogamy in the wedding space is… well, not what’s expected. But Michaela was absolutely awesome and supportive in addition to being super knowledgeable. She was so helpful and I actually ended up finding my dress when I thought I was just looking. All of the gowns were gorgeous and great quality— you wouldn’t know they were secondhand/samples. 10/10 would absolutely go again (I mean, ideally I won’t be shopping for another wedding dress, but you know what I mean) and would send all my friends. I can’t thank them enough.

Blue Sky bridal was a nice place to try on dresses. Giselle asked me lots of quests and ended up picking out a few dresses that I really liked. She made sure to stay within my budget and my preferences, too! I didn't end up finding one there, but she had recommendations for other places and even recommended a jeweler! Thank you for all of your help!

This shop is amazing. Had been to 2 others and was getting the distinct impression I was running out of time to order a dress, but I wasn’t finding the one. Decided to try this place but was worried cause I’m a size 18, and really wondered if there would be enough for me to try on - there was tons. I ended up liking 3 of the 4 dresses I tried on, but there was a clear winner! What was so great about this place is that Skyler really understood me and what my style is, even better than I could explain it. She just got it and steered me towards the dress I ultimately ended up loving. And I had to do this alone cause all my bridal party and family are out of town. She helped me feel comfortable and made it fun. Great experience! And with a little bit of savings.

As a fat woman, clothes shopping in general can be stressful, never mind shopping for my wedding gown. But Blue Sky was a dream to work with from start to finish. They have a huge array of sizes and styles, I got to try on multiple dresses in my size that were all flattering and unique, and I ultimately found MY dress! The staff are all incredibly friendly, helpful, and nonjudgmental, and I just loved my experience with them.

I said yes to the dress here! I really enjoyed my experience at Blue Sky. It is a small intimate shop but still has a large selection. May of the dresses are new with tags. All of the consultants are kind and knowledgeable. They got to know my guests and it felt like they were invested in me finding my dress. I would recommend trying on other dresses beforehand so you have an idea of what you want so you can look through the options without getting overwhelmed. Highly recommend!

I'm so grateful to the Blue Sky Bridal team for helping me find my dream wedding dress. After reviewing a few photographs of dresses I had tried on at other shops, along with inspiration photos, to see where I've been, what worked and what had not - they were able to curate the perfect assortment of dresses for me to try on. From the moment I tried on my dress, it was clear our search was over. Thank you, Blue Sky Bridal!

I got my dress from here! :) Cass was my consultant/stylist, and did an amazing job keeping our appointment efficient while taking the time to listen to likes/dislikes and zero in on the perfect dress options. The night before our appointment, I decided to message Blue Sky's Instagram to see if they had a dress with a certain feature. Turns out they had ONE that fit the description, Cass pulled it for me, and that ended up being my dress! And even though that one was my #1 soon as I tried it on, I was still given lots more great options to "test" it against that fit my style and needs.

I had a great experience shopping for my wedding dress at Blue Sky Bridal. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, they gave advice but also left space for me to make decisions with my bridesmaids. I went there to try on a selection of dresses, but did not find the right one. Then I saw them post a photo of a dress on Instagram, and I immediately loved it. I was able to contact the stylist I worked with who told me more about the dress. I went in to try it on, and it was perfect. While this is a consignment store, it felt a lot nicer than other consignment dress shops. I had a great experience, and would highly recommend them!

So happy with my dress and experience at Blue Sky Bridal! I planned my wedding in 12 weeks and so Blue Sky was the perfect shop to go to for my dress. It came highly recommended from a friend and I was thrilled to go home with the dress immediately upon buying it. My dress had never been worn, the price was right, and my stylist was actually the one to pick it out. Everything I tried on was beautiful and I felt confident and was happy with their selection and the entire experience!

Blue Sky was wonderful to work with. I bought the first dress I tried on (I know, wild!) and I absolutely loved how I looked on my big day. Blue Sky was patient with me even when at the half way of my planning process, I had second thoughts. They welcomed me back in to try on more dresses and honestly made me feel way better about my original choice. They aren't pushy, don't work on commission, and you're helping the environment by shopping for consignment. I highly recommend!

Had a fabulous time shopping here! It was maybe the 6th shop I went to as I hadn't thought to come here at first. I thought they would have nothing in my size (street size 14) nor in my style. I was so surprised how many options there were (and larger!) And in so many cute styles. And they have dresses not just previously worn but also carry samples and new dresses, for those who prefer a new dress. I actually was hoping for a previously worn dress for eco reasons and price reasoms, which brought me here once I had an idea on my style. I went and within 2 dresses found my ONE. I was able to put a 3 day hold with 10% down to go back and re try it on a few days later. I ended up going below my budget and finding an even better dress than at other bridal shops I tried. It was a sample and looked brand new, never even worn! I felt fabulous in it and just needs the standard alterations. The staff was incredibly helpful and never pushed me to commit to a dress - I felt comfortable saying no. They were very knowledgeable and it was such a cute boutique. They will work with you to let you know if dresses come in that fit your style if you don't find anything during visit. I highly recommend visiting, especially if you have some time to shop around! I ended up getting my dress 6 months sooner than I needed, but I just couldn't let this one get away! So nice to have it in hand and I'm not waiting 9 months for it to arrive.

Blue Sky Bridal was the first place I tried on a wedding dress, and my consultant found me MY dress in the first few I put on. She really keyed in on what I wanted super-quickly and helped me find something that would fit with the vibe of what I wanted for my whole wedding. I bought and took it home the same day, which was great because it was May and I was getting married in August. The entire experience was wonderful and stress-free. I felt safe even though we're in a pandemic because the total number of people in the shop is limited and appointments don't really overlap. They had a wide range of sizes and I felt like there were tons of options in my size as well. Make this your first stop if you're a bride-to-be around Seattle!

I had the pleasure of having Giselle as my Bridal Consultant and she was the sweetest and nicest person. She was so helpful and made me feel comfortable during my entire appointment. I felt nothing short of beautiful. I can honestly say that aside from the beautiful dresses, Giselle was the reason I had an amazing and memorable bridal dress shopping experience. All my thanks to her and every person I was able to meet at Blue Sky Bridal - they truly are a great group of people.
I randomly stumbled upon Blue Sky Bridal through a quick google search. After browsing through their Instagram, I saw a dress that I NEEDED to try. I gave them a call to confirm that they still had it and they did! That was the first dress I tried on and I fell in love. They had a great selection of dresses in my size, which is sometimes difficult as a mid-size girl, and in AMAZING condition. The dresses at Blue Sky Bridal were perfect for my Wedding that was less than 5 months away because I could take them home that day. I also purchased my veil there. They offer different appointment types - I recommend the "Book the Boutique" for a private, fun experience and the money you pay to book goes towards the dress you purchase! They also provided a list of recommended Tailors and I found mine through their list (Andra Bose - can't recommend her enough, she works magic and is the nicest person!).

Sustainability is a huge area of interest for me, so I was determined to find a sustainable wedding dress option. Blue Sky Bridal delivered on that front, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. I felt so supported and encouraged, and Liz was so receptive to what I wanted. I never felt pressured to buy anything, and I hadn't planned on getting anything as it was my first appointment, but it went so well that I found my dream dress!

Blue Sky Bridal is everything that is right about wedding dress shopping.

I give Liz full credit for my bridal look. She pulled out several dresses for me, and even the ones I didn’t like she was able to use my feedback to ultimately find the PERFECT dress with only minutes to spare in my appointment. She gave me tips on where to hold my bouquet and elevated my entire look with a gorgeous veil. I had a beach wedding and wasn’t planning on a veil, but with her advice, it turned out better than I could have dreamed. Thank you Liz!!!!

My experience at Blue Sky was AMAZING! Mikaela was incredible - she listened to what I wanted, looked at the dresses we chose and then found THE ONE. The selection was great - so many gorgeous dresses, everything was well organized, COVID precautions were well executed. With the quality of dresses, you would never know it was a consignment store - until you see the prices! Couldn't find a better deal anywhere! Can't recommend enough!

I can not say enough good things about Blue Sky Bridal. It will forever recommend it to anyone in the Seattle or Portland area. Their COVID19 safety guidelines were amazing. They had us wait outside to social distance before coming in, we wiped out feet, washed out hands, everyone had masks on the whole time. Appointment times made it so there was a limited amount of people in the store. All the dresses were in bags with description cards outside. It showed a photo, designer, size and price. My friend who came with me, picked out some dresses to try on, We worked with Giselle (in the Seattle location) and she was AMAZING. She really got to know what I was looking for and offered new choices, she really made me feel comfortable and she was so knowledgable about wedding dresses and weddings in general. I tried on a lace dress that I loved and couldn't stop thinking about it even when I tried on other dresses. We went to another dress shop after and the whole time we kept thinking about Blue Sky. We immediately went back and bought the dress. Not to mention that the dresses were affordable and they try and work within your budget!

I never dreamt of what my wedding dress would look like, but it didn't matter because Blue Sky Bridal helped me find the perfect one! Fortunately, I had gone to a different store to try on 30 different designs/fits so I had the general look narrowed down. The time to try on dresses was short and you have to limit how many dresses to try on, but it was easy to find dresses by size and budget. I had other appointments after this store, so once I found the amazing dress, the store put it on hold for me, and after not finding anything more perfect, I was able to purchase the dress the next day. They provide each bride a personal stylist for the time slot, which was so helpful to get the dress on, add any extra accessories to complete the look, and they were almost too good at pinning the dress (my alterations were more expensive than anticipated because I knew the shape/fit the dress could be). My appointment was before COVID so my sisters and mom were able to be there and helped me make my final decision.

I had such a positive experience at Blue Sky Bridal from the moment I walked in. I actually ended up here on a whim after not having any luck at other bridal stores and I'm so glad I did, I can't say enough good things about it! First of all, they are taking Covid precautions seriously and I felt really good about the systems in place to limit the risk of exposure (ie, washing hands as soon as you enter, keeping distanced, masks on at all times). Secondly, the consultant was so kind, friendly and attuned to my needs--it felt like shopping with a new friend! I was feeling a little discouraged after trying on a number of sample size dresses at other stores that were either much too small or too big and having a hard time imagining what it would actually look and feel like in my size. It was such a relief to try on dresses in my size that actually fit--this is an added bonus of going to a consignment shop. The consultant first listened intently to the things I liked and disliked. Then allowed me to go through the racks and pull what I liked but also made suggestions based on what I had told her. The store is extremely well organized and it is easy to see what dresses look like which isn't always the case for consignment stores. They also had the best variety of dresses in larger sizes that I've seen which was such a relief after going to stores who had really limited choices in my size. The consultant was really knowledgable in helping me think through alterations and fit. The last dress I tried on ended up being the absolute perfect dress for me! I felt the staff's genuine excitement for me but I never felt pressured or pushed. My dress was a brand new, tags on sample that was almost half the original price. They happened to be having a sale on veils so I got the veil too! My dress will need a little altering but the store immediately sent a list of trusted tailors to look into. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!

I had such a great experience at Blue Sky Bridal.
They are clean, friendly, and so knowledgeable! They have a gorgeous collection and a really wide price range and we’re truly so sweet.
It’s a great atmosphere so if you’re looking to get started looking for dresses they are a great no pressure first stop. And again Makayla who helped me clearly knew her stuff. She could tell me about each dress and the designer. They made my experience so fun even in the middle of a pandemic so if that isn’t a 5star review I don’t know what is.
I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. 💕

Had the best experience here!!! Found the perfect dress because Liz, took the time to get to know me (not only my size or shape). Very friendly, professional, and just over all great. The shop also has a great way of giving info on dress, attached to each dress so you can see yourself. It has price, history, retail price, height, and obviously size. The shop itself is a clean and fun (you get to stand on a pedestal) with a couch for friends and family. Highly recommend.

I fell in love with a dress I saw on Instagram. I called at the middle of the day on Saturday and they were able to fit me in the following day -- even with all the staggering appointment times and COVID restrictions. Mikaela to the time to listen to my likes and dislikes and suggested different styles by the same designer for me to try on to make sure I found the right one.
I thought dress shopping was going to be difficult because my bridal party and family wouldn't be there to help me (they all live on the East Coast), but I felt at ease and comfortable throughout the entire appointment and left feeling confident with my new dress. I would definitely recommend Blue Sky Bridal! Thank you so much!

I had such a great experience at Blue Sky Bridal! My first appointment was with Giselle and she was awesome! I had been to BHLDN (Anthropologie's bridal line) already and found a dress I thought was my number one, but it was pushing my budget max. So I wanted to look at a consignment shop and try on a bigger variety of dress styles just to be sure I actually loved that first dress. And I'm so glad I did! They only do one appointment at a time, so I got to peruse all the dresses in the shop with my grandma, mom and friends and pick out about 6 dresses I wanted to try on. I told Giselle the dresses I tried on at BHLDN that I had liked and she knew every one of them! She was able to steer me towards some similar dresses and then she picked out some dresses that she thought I would like. It was so great because I wasn't going to pull those for myself! They have a cute and comfy couch set up for your small entourage and then we tried each dress on. Giselle set up each dress for me in the changing room and let you me put it on privately and she came in and zipped them up. I never felt rushed while deciding what I liked and disliked about each dress, and she took my feedback and pulled other dresses for me! One of the dresses I didn't think was going to work for me was one of the last ones I tried on, and I am so glad she pulled it because it was the dress I fell in love with! I didn't get it that day because I wanted to think about it, but I went back 3 days later and tried it on again and decided it was my dress! They provided me with a list of seamstresses they recommend for alterations also which was very helpful!
SO happy with my experience at Blue Sky Bridal!

I am SO SO happy that I came to Blue Sky Bridal. The experience was wonderful, I was the only bride in the store. The girl helping me was just SO great at helping me to see different visions for the dresses. I fell in love with a dress, put a deposit on it to hold it for 3 days and came back for it. All staff members were over the top helpful. My mom was having a hard time understanding some alterations items and they were very patient in getting her to feel comfortable about the dress being altered for success. I've already recommended them to others who have gone and had an amazing experience as well!

This place is so amazing. I was very indecisive about my dress and tried on probably 40 in total. They really got to know what was me without me having to say. Once I made my decision they made me feel so confident. I enjoyed my shopping experience here so much and would recommend to anyone who will listen! Special shout out to Liz who I felt really understood me. (Although they were all amazing!)

I had a fantastic experience at Blue Sky! This shop has a nice variety of dresses, and they are in amazing condition and so well taken care of! Liz was assigned to me for my 1-hour appointment, and she could not have been more helpful. Liz made an effort to learn about my wedding plans and wanted to make sure I found a dress that matched the vibes of my venue, which I thought was so clever. She was friendly, thoughtful, and kept the ordeal so relaxed. I didn't feel overly pressured to do anything I wasn't ready for, which was so important. I had such a great time with her and my friends who came along for support. I found the dress of my dreams at a remarkable price, and I can't wait to wear it! I love knowing I am keeping my environmental impact at a minimum by wearing a "once worn" dress, and I recommend Blue Sky to anyone in the market for a wedding dress.

I got my wedding dress from blue sky bridal in greenlake, Giselle helped me out and I had an absolutely amazing experience. I thought for sure I wanted a mermaid style wedding dress and picked out several dresses that were all similar. After trying them all on Giselle picked out a few different style dresses that she said would be flattering. They were all great but one in particular I loved! It a ballroom style dress that I would have never ever tried on if she hadn't suggested. Even better it was less than my budgeted number I told her! Thanks Giselle for making me feel like a princess on my wedding day!

I came here after having an extremely lackluster experience at a large department store--feeling pretty bummed and stressed. I'm on a tighter timeline than most people plan their weddings in these days (~ 3-4 months), so I couldn't wait months and months and months for a dress to be made for me, and when I arrived to my appointment at Blue Sky and explained that, the staff were totally cool about it, letting me know I had enough time to get alterations done and all that. Phew. I told them what I'd liked so far, and got the spiel about how the shop worked (all the dresses are in clear bags, arranged on racks by size, mark the dresses you'd like to try on with clips, they'll take them to your dressing room), and off I went! My stylist explained everything thoroughly, including how to try on the dresses carefully so they aren't damaged in any way, which I appreciated--also I didn't have to flash her like I did at the previous place. It was a comfortable atmosphere, everyone was open to questions, and I didn't spend a moment wondering how something worked or what I ought to do. I tried on one or two that I'd picked out, and then my stylist Mikaela got kind of excited and brought me a few dresses I hadn't seen based on what I said I liked, particularly some dresses with color. It was also just great to try things on actually in my size, rather than clipped onto me. I don't know anything really about clothing design or any of the right terms, and I actually learned some new things from the folks who work here, including some info about what was possible in terms of alterations and such. Mikaela gave me some very sage advice about choosing a dress I felt comfortable and confident in, which helped me make a decision. She took pictures etc. as needed and was very helpful and sweet. I ended up with three dresses I was very excited about, and so my mom, aunt and I left to reflect over lunch. There was absolutely no pressure whatsoever to buy something, it was just a fun experience with a bunch of chill women who want to help. I get the impression that this would be a really fun environment to work in, actually. We came back about an hour later and bought the dress! They recommended several tailors and that's all there was to it!
tl;dr very relaxed, fun/helpful/excited staff

After being here, I'm very surprised Blue Sky has so many good reviews. I had an appointment with two of my bridesmaids on a Saturday. When we arrived, the woman we were working with was immediately cold (visibly rolled her eyes when we asked her to throw something out for us)... and she remained that way throughout the appointment. She went through "the rules" with us and then we started looking through the rack. When looking through, there was a dress that wasn't properly hung, so I couldn't see what it looked like, so I started to unzip the bag to fix the hanging (I worked in retail for many, many years - it's habit), and she seriously popped out of nowhere and YELLED that we couldn't open the bags (she hadn't told us that when reviewing the rules). Like, it wasn't a "oh no, I'm so sorry I forgot to tell you..." It was big and loud and totally embarrassed me. A little bit startled, we continued to look. Now, as one can expect in a small store, the selection is limited; but it is especially limited in sizes below 10. By this time, I had tried on enough dresses at other stores that I had an idea of what I was looking for, and they didn't have really anything that was that style in my range of acceptable sizes (sweetheart neckline or a deep plunge, mermaid or trumpet, with some sparkle). She proceeded to tell me that the reason they didn't carry that is because Seattle brides don't usually want sparkle and that I should check the Eastside... Hmm. Weird considering the other two salons I went to within two miles had plenty of sparkle... So, I tried on some gowns that were outside of what I was looking for at this point. Once we had tried one or two on, she picked a couple off my hook and told me that we were going to skip them because, "We're already kind of squeezing you into the size "z"s, so these size "y"s are not going to work. Okay?" It was all around just weird and bad; I'm so glad that I had incredible experiences at the two places before this, or I would have felt totally defeated. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I will say, their gowns appeared to be in great shape, but the prices were significantly higher than other second-hand stores I looked at. I'm giving 2 stars for the quality of their gowns, the idea that not everyone is looking for the same style I was, and that maybe I just caught this woman on a bad day.

I had a great experience here. As someone whose size can range from a 10-16 depending on the brand I was a little nervous about a sample and consignment store. But I had a ton of good options in sizes that fit me. I found a dress I loved and since it was a sample they were able to bring it down to my price range.

I had an AMAZING time at Blue Sky Bridal! Everyone working in the store was warm, friendly, helpful, and honest. I felt well cared for and like my best interests were truly their top priority. I showed them pictures of other dresses I had tried on and loved from different stores - Cass recognized my favorite dress (that I had tried on at I Do Bridal) instantly. Blue Sky Bridal had just got the same exact dress in the store the day before! I tried on a few other gorgeous dresses before re-trying on the dress I had loved from the other boutique. I loved it and was so excited, but it had been altered and was slightly too small around my hips and slightly too short (the top miraculously fits just like a glove!). Blue Sky Bridal took down my card info and gave me 3 days to speak to one of their suggested tailors to see if the alterations would be possible (and not outrageously expensive). I went to see Andra who was also amazing and confirmed that she could do all the alterations I needed/wanted for a very reasonable price. I am SO excited! I would have paid over $1400 (WITHOUT alterations) for this same dress at the other boutique. WITH alterations I expect to be right around $1100 total for this dream dress! Besides saving money, I absolutely love that the eco-friendly side of getting a consignment dress. It was something that was very important to me and Blue Sky Bridal made it wayyy easier than I ever thought it would be to find my dream, eco-friendly dress! If you are looking for a dress in Seattle, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not stop in to Blue Sky Bridal.

Let me begin by stating that I am not a woman who's been dreaming of my wedding day ever since I was a little girl. And even throughout this planning process, I still find so many things unnecessary or just plain silly.
I decided to make a day out of dress shopping since I figured why not have a fun day out with my girls. I went into this day absolutely certain I was not buying a dress.
We had one appointment earlier in the day, which went okay but we found it to be a bit chaotic because the shop was packed, and overall the experience made us feel like we weren't worth their time.
As soon as we stepped into Blue Sky Bridal, it was like heaven. Quiet and intimate yet also very inviting and warm. Giselle greeted us immediately and walked us through the process, and we were set free to roam in the sea of dresses. After gathering a bunch, I started trying them on one-by-one.
What I truly appreciated was how Giselle was both professional and real - case in point: after looking at some of the dresses we picked out, she asked me if she could put some back because she already knew I wasn't going to like them. Her honesty was seriously refreshing and I knew it meant that she truly cared about what I liked and would want.
And then it happened. I found the one - the one I couldn't stop thinking about after first putting it on, the one where I saw myself walking down the aisle to my future husband in, the one that if my little girl self did dream about my wedding day, this was it. It fit like it was made for me AND she was able to get it down to a great price. So of course, I had to say yes to the dress!
A huge, huge thank you to Giselle for providing me and my girls with the most amazing shopping experience and for proving that even a wedding skeptic like me can too find my dream dress!

This bridal shop does a beautiful job of displaying a gorgeous collection of samples and once used pieces. It does NOT feel like a consignment shop. They had a wide selection of beautiful dresses to choose from.
Cass was the sales associate who helped me find my perfect dress, and she was so kind and helpful. She was not at all pushy like some other stores have been, and she had fantastic advice and ideas along the way. I really felt at home during my session with her. And I found my perfect dress for a great deal!

I found Blue Sky by a Google and it was 1 of the best finds EVER!!! I called and spoke with Giselle and was super excited to see the shop! I made an appt for later that day just to see what they had. Well... needless to say I found my dress!!
Cass was so helpful and we tried on about 5 dresses. As soon as I tried on Penny(that's my dresses name) I started to feel something no dress has ever made me feel! I have never bought a wedding dress so I had no idea what was coming but those little #goosies were the start of me finding her!
I had a later appt and just didn't want to leave the shop or the dress!
I scheduled a 2nd fit appt for the next day and this time I brought my bride tribe!
Giselle helped me into her and the rest will be history! I'm so in love with all of the experience of finding my dress! I'm so thankful to all of the ladies at Blue Sky Bridal and I'm so lucky to be a #blueskybride 💜
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ladies! You will always be an amazing part of my story 🙌💜
I highly recommend coming in here for a dress! Such a beautiful and wonderful experience!

Cannot recommend Blue Sky Bridal enough. Free street parking and close to I-5!
It’s an incredibly cute store with loads of dresses to try. I felt safe, valued, and overall had the best time with Liz. I really appreciate being able to schedule a time versus just walk-in. You can’t beat their attention to detail, care, and the prices of all their dresses are amazing.

I recently moved to Seattle, so when my mom and sister came to town on short notice, I quickly set up an appointment with Blue Sky Bridal and couldn’t have been more pleased! The consultant, Mikaela, was so wonderful and all the dresses we picked out were absolutely stunning. They helped me come in right at my budget and sent a list of tailors in the area. I’d recommend them to anyone!

I came here due to a recommendation from another bride. My experience was so great and I found my dream reception dress, so in turn, I would recommend any future bride to Blue Sky Bridal and I hope to sell my wedding dresses here some day!
I came here with my parents and had my appointment with the manager Giselle. There was only one other bride there and I liked how calm and intimate the store was. They let you browse and pick out a certain number of dresses you like and then help dress you in the changing room. You can really see the care in which they handle each dress and all the dresses are in mint condition!
I loved the dress I ultimately purchased but had another shop I wanted to check out. I rushed back after not finding anything at the other shop and Giselle nicely let me try it on again before purchasing even though I didnt have an appointment. She even gave me a small discount to bring the price into my budget!
I loved that I got my dress the same day I fell in love with it and that it was eco-friendly, rather than waiting 6 to 9 months to manufacture a "custom" dress that you have to alter anyway. The bridal store also referred me to my awesome tailor, Andra Bose. Definitely check this shop out!
