Blue Sky Bridal

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 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!

ide 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!).

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!

rk with and made the experience so fun. We couldn't have asked for anything better!

s 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!!!!

utions 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!

rowed 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.

hey 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!

ted 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. 💕

hed 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.

isten 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!

ax. 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!

y recommend finding your wedding dress here; nothing but high quality help. The laddies there are amazing!

eposit 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!

ence 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!)

with. I highly recommend!

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.

ying 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!

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

er 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.
