I couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one I had at Blush Bridal Boutique! The environment was calm and welcoming (in the middle of covid), and I felt supported and listened to the entire time!
My experience at Blush Bridal was wonderful! The shop is lovely and private. There is a beautiful selection of dresses. Emily is an absolute gem. She was so helpful and knowledgeable. Finding my wedding gown at Blush Bridal is such a happy memory. I highly recommend Blush Bridal to all.
Amazing experience at BLUSH bridal! So many beautiful dresses to choose from. Emily is great and helped find the perfect dress for me!
I cannot recommend this bridal shop enough. After a terrible experience at Kleinfeld’s and another bridal shop in NYC, my mom and I decided to try something different. My venue recommended Blush up in Kingston, NY, down the street from our venue, so we made a girl’s weekend out of it and made an appointment. Emily (also my name) is a fantastic business owner. From the moment I emailed her, I immediately felt good about this process. Dress hunting is HARD and stressful. Everyone acts like you’ll have a “Say yes to the dress” moment and sometimes that doesn’t happen. At other shops, I felt like another bride in line and didn’t feel like my budget was respected.
My mom and I walked into our appointment (in the middle of the pandemic mind you) and Emily had the space clean, sanitized, and relaxing for our arrival. Her shop is gorgeous, intimate, and has a carefully picked selection. Emily is extremely professional, knows her stuff, and was helpful in answering any questions. Her selection of dresses was perfect, but she still told me when to take a break and “cut myself off” so as to not feel overwhelmed. She wasn’t pushy at all. I fell in love with my dress at this appointment, but we decided to sleep on it and get back to her. She was totally fine with that. I truly felt like she was a new friend by the time we left.
After trying other shops in the city - even trying on THE dress at the other shops - I wanted to go back to Kingston to give Emily my business. We did just that. Emily ordered my dress perfectly and we worked with her personal seamstress (Holly at ‘Oh Sew Perfect’) who was equally as wonderful and very timeline and cost-efficient. I cannot recommend Blush enough. Thank you, Emily, for your care and attention and helping me find my dream dress!
Emily came highly recommended as she had worked with some of my co-workers during a past job. She was the sweetest to work with and had such an ability to help you find the perfect dress. She asked all the right questions to put you into the next dress until you found the one!
Blush Bridal is amazing! Emily is an absolute gem--she was a great listener, she was respectful, and she knew her inventory really well. She made the wedding dress shopping experience fun and stress-free. I'm so excited for my wedding dress to come in!
Blush Bridal was great! Emily listened to what I wanted and I found the perfect dress. She was so accommodating and patient as we brainstormed the veil and what we wanted. The experience was excellent and I cannot recommend highly enough.
Emily at Blush was FABULOUS to work with! Out of all of the shops I went to—she truly was the best listener, respectful to my guests, and knowledgeable of all of her gowns. Her shop was clean, adorable, and comforting. I highly, highly recommend Blush Bridal Boutique!
Blush Bridal Boutique exceeded all of my expectations. I booked an appointment with the owner Emily because I saw that Blush carried the brand was looking for but I never could have imagined how perfect my wedding dress shopping experience would be! Emily was so warm and friendly. Unlike other boutiques when you book an appointment with blush you have the space all to yourself. Having just my mother, my sisters, Emily, and myself at the boutique made the experience so much more special and intimate. I showed Emily a few styles I liked and she was so helpful and patient. My sisters also found their bridesmaid dresses at the boutique the same day I found mine. It was absolutely perfect! Emily has such a beautiful selection of dresses and was an absolute pleasure to work with! I would definitely recommend going to Blush Bridal Boutique for your dream dress!
Blush bridal is FABULOUS!! Emily has exceptional wedding dress taste!! Your appointments are one on one which makes the experience much more relaxed!! She has so much to offer and her shop is just beautiful!! I was so happy I found my dress here! Her professional and bubbly personality makes it feel like you have one of your friends there helping you pick your dress!! Her seamstress did such an amazing job on my dress also! I recommend blush to all the brides I meet because I know for a fact they will not be disappointed!!
I would highly recommend going to Blush for your wedding gown shopping! Emily was awesome! You are the only one in the shop when trying on dresses so there’s no pressure when trying things on or walking around and Emily gives you her undivided attention. She’s very knowledgeable about the different dresses and really listened to what I liked and didn’t like. I tried on a lot of different dresses and went with something completely different then what I came in showing her but I never felt rushed or pressure and she was very patient and happy to accommodate. I couldn’t recommend her enough! She helped me find my dream dress and I couldn’t be happier!!
Emily the owner of Blush Bridal Boutique is amazing! Before visiting Blush I went to a large bridal shop in NYC. There is no comparison between the two. Blush was a much more personal experience and there was a larger selection of dresses in my price range. The dress I ended up selecting was the most beautiful dress and was exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Blush to anyone who is looking for a beautiful gown and a personalized experience.
Emily was absolutely incredible as well as her seamstress. She is so knowledgeable and truly wants the bride to feel flawless in their wedding dress. Blush has affordable dresses and different styles for every bride. She has such valuable knowledge in her industry and it does not go unnoticed. She does not make anyone feel pressured, but gives practical advice towards getting the wedding dress of your dreams. I would definitely recommend Blush to anyone getting married and looking for that perfect dress.
Emily, the owner of Blush Bridal, is simply amazing! When I was looking for my wedding gown, I knew I didn't want to go to a big shop and feel pressured into purchasing something. Instead, I wanted a small, personalized experience, and that is exactly what I got at Blush Bridal! Emily only takes one appointment at a time so I had the whole salon to myself. She was also extremely patient. After pulling approximately 10-12 dresses that were in our desired price range, Emily thoroughly explained the details of each one (the fit, fabric etc.). I then narrowed it down to about 5 dresses and she let me try on each one again and again. Even though it was the first shop I went to, I said yes to my dress, not because I felt pressured, but because I had that amazing feeling every time I put the dress on. Even though I said yes to the dress, I had another appointment at a different boutique the same day. I decided to still go to that appointment. I am so glad that I decided to do that because it confirmed that the dress at Blush Bridal was the one for me. The experience at the other boutique was completely different than my extremely positive experience with Emily. I felt pressured to purchase a gown and like I was just another a bride in a long assembly line. Since I had such a positive experience purchasing my gown at Blush Bridal, I decided to bring my bridesmaids there to get their dresses. Throughout the entire process, Emily was so easy to work with. She quickly responded to all emails and offered several helpful suggestions during the fitting process. Additionally, most of my bridesmaids did not live locally. However, Emily was still able to easily accommodate them and ensure that their dresses were ordered correctly and that pick-up/fittings were a breeze. I truly believe that finding your wedding dress is such a special moment, and I think Emily does a phenomenal job at highlighting and celebrating the importance of this milestone in your life. I would recommend Blush Bridal again and again to all brides, who are searching for their perfect gown.
WOW! Emily is amazing! After having a few bad experiences at other bridal shops I finally caved and went to Blush. Emily made my crew so welcomed and calm the second we entered. I sent her a long email with different styles I liked and wow did she deliever. She made feel like the only bride in the world, and just made the process so simple. I was torn between two dresses and she helped me pick the best dress for me and my body. I didn't feel rushed, or like I had to purchase that day. Emily you truly know how to make a girl feel like a bride!
Emily, the owner of Blush, is so good at what she does. She is mindful of finding the right dress for everyone and goes above and beyond.
Last July I visited Blush and had such a great experience. I was slightly worried there wouldn’t be enough selection and I wouldn’t find anything unique enough, but I was completely wrong. When I first arrived, Emily (the owner) asked me what style I was looking for and asked if I had any pictures of dresses saved. I showed her my Pinterest and she was actually carrying one of the dresses on my board. She then had me look around the store and pull dresses I was interested in trying on. Emily also pulled a couple of dresses she thought would work. I tried on 5 or 6 dresses and ended up choosing one that Emily selected. It was along the lines of something I was looking for, but it was unique and definitely wouldn’t have been something I’d pick out for myself. Emily has a great eye!
Not only was Emily helpful in finding the dress, but she also has years of experience in the wedding industry, so she’s a great resource for getting recommendations on several aspects of the wedding planning process. She also recommended a seamstress, who I will be using for alterations.
Because it’s a small shop, you’ll be the only patron in the store, which provides a very personal experience and you won’t feel rushed.
I highly recommend visiting Blush. It has an intimate feel, but more than enough selection to find something beautiful and perfect for your wedding.
Awful experience. Emily, the shop owner, was not accommodating whatsoever. She is very misleading. Talked me into buying her SAMPLE gown, which was double my size and said alterations would be cheap no matter what. After going to multiple people to get alterations, they all said it was going to be double what Emily told me.
Went back to Emily asking if there was anything that could be done, and she could care less. Out of a dress with wedding in 3 months..
Very dissatisfied, especially since she calls herself a business owner.
Would not recommend.
Emily is amazing! Super down to earth and made me comfortable from the start. Her dresses are gorgeous! I would highly recommend!
I only have wonderful things to say about Blush and Emily! I live in Brooklyn but got married in the Hudson Valley on September 1st. I had tried dresses on at a few places in NYC but felt very rushed and overwhelmed during these visits. Blush was the complete opposite!
Blush is by appointment and you have the place to yourself - I brought a few friends and family and we were able to sit comfortably and really have a fun experience. Emily carefully picks designers that give a wide range of options - style and price-wise. I felt like there were such high-quality dresses to choose from, while also being reasonably priced for wedding dresses. After picking my dress, I came back about 5 months later and worked with Emily and her tailor to make it perfect. I didn't feel overcharged or rushed through anything either.
In the beginning I didn't feel very comfortable as a bride but I can honestly say finding my dress and working with Emily was one of the highlights of the process. I was so thrilled with the dress that it made me excited for all the planning steps afterwards!
Emily is absolutely 100% perfect for what she does. her shop is beautiful, the gowns carefully picked, and her attention to details and her care for her clients is incomparable. Emily made me and my family very comfortable from the first time I tried on gowns to the moment I said yes to the dress to the last fitting. I wish I could wear my gown every day, that's how beautiful and confident I felt in it. if you're looking for a wonderful experience, look no further than blush!!
I have only amazing things to say about my experience at Blush. Emily is knowledgable, responsive, and very nice-- a perfect member of your wedding team. I went to Blush after a poor experience at another store, feeling a little crunched for time to to order a dress. Emily took all of my anxiety away with her professional and honest opinions about the dress I wanted, and she assured me there was plenty of time to order and have alterations. No pressure, no stress. The space itself is beautiful-- you will feel as special as you are while you are shopping. I am so happy with the dress and I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day!
Emily is fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend her bridal shop. Blush was my first ever bridal appointment and I didn't know what to expect. Emily made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I wasn't sure about style I wanted, and having the one on one experience was amazing and it helped me feel less intimidated. She truly wants ever bride to enjoy their dress shopping experience!
Beautiful intimate bridal shop in uptown Kingston. Blush is appointment only giving you a personalized intimate experience that will not be forgotten. The owner Emily is pleasant and very accommodating. All the dress prices were reasonable, I was able to go in and not look at a price tag knowing all the dresses were listed under a certain amount. The quality and style of the dress options were great, it was hard choice but I found the perfect one! I would highly recommend Blush Bridal.
Emily is so knowledgeable about what she does! I had been to several other bridal salons but none of the salons had the something special I was looking for...mostly because I didn't know what I was looking for. I found my perfect dress at Blush Bridal with Emily's help. She even picked the perfect belt for the dress. I was unsure about sizing, but when the dress came in, it fit like a glove, I needed very little alterations.
And her seamstress Holly was amazing, she made an already perfect dress more perfect for my short torso and short stature, not to mention making my curves look beautiful.
Whether you know what you are looking for or even if you are not sure, Emily will take great care in finding you the dress that will make you the most beautiful bride you can be on your very special day!
This is such a great little shop. I went to Emily knowing I was going to be 6 and a half months pregnant for my wedding and we had 3 months to get it figured out. Emily knew exactly what to do and what type of dress I should be looking for. We found the perfect dress that day! The intimacy of the boutique really makes the experience extra special. Emily is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. It was a high end experience without the high end price! I would highly recommend Blush to any bride!
Everything about Emily's shop and level of service are lovely. Blush was our third stop in a marathon weekend of dress shopping, and our afternoon in the store was a complete pleasure. It was wonderful to have this beautiful space, Emily's warm and accommodating help, and her gorgeous selection of gowns to ourselves for the afternoon. Emily was welcoming, fun and patient with our little group, particularly my eager-to-help 10-year old God daughter, which we truly appreciated. She listened to our input on general style and budget, and pulled a number of beautiful gowns while we browsed the racks for favorites and additions. Her selections and the sequence of dresses were thoughtful and perfect, and she did a great job of honing in our favorite things (and not-into-its) about each dress. Her selection of dresses is broad and absolutely beautiful, and I truly could have chosen a number of the gowns she showed me. I left with 2 favorites and 1 serious front runner, but ultimately chose a gown from another shop. It was a VERY tough decision and I know that I would have been very happy getting married in my favorite of the gowns I tried at Blush. I can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Emily, and how much we enjoyed our intimate, magical afternoon of trying on her beautiful dresses. It's clear that she takes great pride in her business and personal investment in her brides, and I'm sure that every part of the purchase process is just as beautifully done. I would highly recommend Blush to other brides, and it is well worth a trip if you are not local to the area.
Oh my goodness there is no comparison. Emily makes you feel like the only bride in the world (and we all know that isn't the case)! She takes care in making sure you are comfortable and picking a dress for YOU and no one else. She was extremely welcoming and I knew as soon as I left to try on more dresses I was coming back. My experience at this boutique is one I will always remember. Thank you so much Emily. xo
Blush boutique is perfect for brides in the Hudson Valley who don't want to travel far to find their dream dress. As a busy bride, choosing Blush to find my dress was an easy one as I was able to make the fittings without all the hassle of traveling. The one on one attention while choosing my dress made the day even more special and with a variety of beautiful in style dresses handpicked by the owner made it a real treat. I highly recommend brides to be to visit this special space for a one of a kind bridal experience. You will leave very happy, as I did.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Firstly, Emily the owner is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She made the experience of finding a wedding dress unforgettable. Her shop is absolutely stunning and she has an incredible selection. Booking an appointment here is a must - there is no place in the Hudson Valley like Blush!
My experience couldn't have been more positive. Emily closes down the store for each bride, making you feel like a princess. We were offered champagne upon arrival, and I never felt hurried or pushed in a direction of a particular dress she wanted us to buy. The location couldn't be more perfect ( we live in the Hudson Valley), but I still felt the aura of an upscale, NYC-located boutique. We're happy with our decision to shop at Blush!
Emily at Blush was the best! She had curated the dresses just for me, locked the store and gave me and my mother her undivided attention! Her knowledge about the designers and styles was extensive, her candor about what would suit my body-type and event theme was so appreciated (especially since Blush was our FIRST foray into trying dresses!), and her calm support of any decision we made was just wonderful! Not once did I feel pressured to like something or make a choice. She followed up multiple times to see how we were doing and even though I found my dress elsewhere, she was still more than happy to help with local tailor and even photographer recommendations. DEFINITELY Recommended!!
I could not have imagined a more wonderful wedding dress shopping experience. The boutique is stunning, Emily is so helpful and the perfect style consultant. All of the dresses were gorgeous and Emily made it so effortless to find the perfect wedding gown!
I would recommend everyone to check out Blush for a wedding gown! Emily is simply amazing. The boutique is warm and welcoming, many different styles and price points for dresses and Emily is knowledgeable about them all. Any question I had, she had an answer and an explanation. Emily was never pushy or overbearing, and listened to every comment I made about all of the different dresses I tried on. After falling in love with four dresses during my first appointment, Emily kept in contact with me via email. Living in Tennessee and planning a wedding in NY is certainly nerve-wracking, but I have NO worries about my dress! During my follow-up appointment at Blush, I happily said YES to the dress! I can not wait to see Emily again to get fitted in my dream dress. Thank you for the BEST wedding dress experience! :) xo
My experience with Blush Bridal and Emily was nothing short of amazing.
I was sort of a nervous mess the day of the dress appointment- that was the first time my mom and my fiance's mom were meeting, and I had no idea if their idea of a dress was going to match mine, but above all, I wanted to find a dress that I knew my fiance would love too. Emily's warm energy, and bubbly personality made me feel so at home.
Emily is a true expert, knowing her dresses inside and out, and being able to guide you through the process of selecting the most perfect wedding dress. Her calm spirit, ability to be personable, and all around fun character makes for the best bridal shopping experience.
During the appointment you are the only bride Emily is helping, and she pays special attention to all of the detail that you like (and don't like). In the end, Emily had me try on a dress that I did not pick out, but one she felt would be "the one," and sure enough, she was right. She let me try on the dress multiple times to compare it with others, and even let me come back a second time to show my best friend for the approval. Not once did Emily make me feel pressured to make a decision, which I truly appreciate.
Emily and her boutique are true gems. She has a natural talent for the business and would recommend her to anyone shopping for a dress.
I still cry every time I think about how perfect my dress is. Thank you, Emily, for helping me find my wedding dress!
I had the most amazing experience with Emily the owner at blush bridal. Emily was very welcoming to my mother, my father and myself. You have the whole salon to yourself and not once did I ever feel pressured or rushed. The appointments usually take an hour but Emily assured me that she would stay as long as I needed. The first appointment I had she was so helpful and knowledgeable. It was my first time shopping for a wedding dress so of course I had no idea what I actually wanted or what would even look good on me. She took her time to explain every dress and what accessories would look good. She even included my parents with all the details and making a point to make them feel included in everything, especially my father. Then after narrowing it down to three dresses I made another appointment to come back to re try on my top three and make a decision. When I went back to blush I noticed I different dress that was a total wild card and I asked her if it would be alright if we tried that dress on as well. After trying on all four dresses for a second time Emily helped me make the right decision and I ended up picking the "wild card" dress. She paired the dress with a gorgeous vail and showed me how the dress would be altered so I could get a better visual of it. All and all I HIGHLY recommend blush bridal! Emily is amazing and the experience was the best I could of ever asked for.
Amazing bridal shop and amazing owner!
Not only is Emily, the owner, so sweet and so inviting, she is such an amazing and knowledgeable consultant! From the second we walked into the salon, she offered me and my crew some champs and asked me about my wedding and what style I was looking for. We then went through the racks together and she suggested dresses that she thought I would like, which were gorgeous! She was so helpful with helping me pick out what looked best on me and what accessories matched my dress, but let me make my own decisions at the same time. Same goes for my Bridesmaids' dresses! She was so good at helping me match the girls' dress colors perfectly! She definitely guided me in the right direction, and if it wasn't for her awesome help, I would not have been able to put my vision together. If you really want the true bridal experience, you have to go to Blush.
The boutique is so cute and Emily has the most beautiful bridal gowns in the Hudson Valley! I tried on about 5 or 6 of her dresses and loved them all! It was so hard to choose. The shop is so glamorous and has a very inviting feel, while keeping with the historic downtown Kingston feel with natural exposed brick walls. You also have the entire salon to yourself when you book an appointment.
I'm so glad I said YES to the dress (and my Bridesmaids' dresses) at Blush Bridal!
I highly recommend Blush to anyone who wants a gorgeous, affordable dress for her wedding. I brought my mother and cousin (who's a bridesmaid) with me to my appointment. The owner Emily immediately greeted us and offered champagne or water. We chatted about my wedding and then started to look at her selection of dresses.
Every single dress she has is absolutely gorgeous. There wasn't one dress I tried on that I disliked. I would've tried on every single gown if I had the chance! We picked out 6 or 7, my mother pulled the "mom" card and picked one. Emily was incredibly knowledgeable about the dresses and she explained every detail, down to why they looked so beautiful. She also has a wonderful selection of veils. The entire appointment felt personal and fun. She has a great, fun personality and her boutique is spacious and light. It was absolutely worth the trip to Kingston and I can't wait to go back in the fall when my dress comes in!
Emily, the owner of Blush, made my wedding dress shopping experience amazing. She was so professional and knowledgeable about all the dresses! She made me feel so comfortable in her adorable uptown Kingston boutique. I found the dress of my dreams and had so much fun with family and my bridesmaids! Thank you Emily! I would recommend Blush Bridal to everyone!
My experience at Blush Bridal Boutique was the best I had throughout my wedding dress shopping. The boutique is appointment only, and you have the entire boutique to yourself, making it the exact type of intimate, relaxed, and personal experience I was hoping for. The shop is really easy to get to, and there is plenty of parking around (we snagged a spot right outside the store).
Emily, the owner, is beyond knowledgable. She immediately greeted me and welcomed my aunt and best friends upon arrival, took our coats, and offered us water or champagne.
Emily then took a few minutes to chat about our wedding - when, where, what kind of dress style I thought I may be interested in, etc. After that, we got started on going through the racks together. She was able to offer really valuable insight about different styles that I would have ruled out if just looking by myself, and encouraged me to try them on just in case. She knows her stuff - all of the dresses we pulled had something about them that I ended up liking.
The interior of the store is gorgeous. It's very open and airy, but at the same time, warm and inviting. The dressing room is quite spacious, which was nice. And the incredible floor to ceiling mirror that Emily had custom built inside the store was probably one of the best parts of trying on the dresses. The mirror was huge and made the entire process feel more glamorous.
I can't recommend Blush highly enough - no matter what part of the dress shopping process you're in - whether just starting out or whether you've been to a handful of stores already - it is absolutely worth a trip to Blush to have a more personalized and relaxed bridal shopping environment. Emily's knowledge about bridal gowns and fashion is unrivaled in the area. Make the trip to Blush - you'll be thankful you did!
