I had the most wonderful experience at Blush Bridal, and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment I walked in, the team made sure I felt supported and comfortable while searching for my dream wedding dress. They set up multiple appointments for me, going out of their way to accommodate my family members, who I really wanted to be there with me during the process.
The entire experience was so peaceful, despite the pressure of making such an important decision. Summer, my bridal consultant, was absolutely fantastic. She was patient, knowledgeable, and truly attentive to every detail, ensuring that I loved everything—from the fit of the dress to the perfect veil to complete the look. I never felt rushed, and I genuinely felt that the team wanted me to find something that made me feel amazing.
Blush Bridal truly went above and beyond, and I’ll always be grateful for their kindness, care, and expertise. Thank you for making such an important moment in my wedding journey so memorable!
I booked 2 bridal shops the day my family and I went to look for my wedding dress. My second stop was Blush bridal but I should have made it my first. I was able to work with Alyssa and she was very patient, helpful and attentive. I tried on several dresses, rather fast, thanks to Alyssa! I felt like I was never going to find the one and then she asked me to see a dress I liked at the previous shop and say what I felt it was missing. She disappeared to the racks and came back with the dress of my dreams. She listened to exactly what I wanted but felt I couldn’t find and delivered just that. I was also able to bring my dress back to the store to get it pressed before the big day and the woman who helped me was also so vet kind!! I would recommend Blush to anyone!!
I'm so glad I found my dress at Blush! I had my first dress shopping appointment at another Lancaster store, and it was not a great experience. My appointment here was 100x better. Summer was a great associate, really listened to what I liked, and actually picked out the dress I ended up going with. My MIL also got her dress here and loved it.
I was extremely disappointed with my experience in this shop today. I asked explicitly about the availability of plus size dresses, and was told they had up to size 30 for dresses I could order, and sizes 26 and 28 depending on style. My mom drove 6 and a half hours in the rain to be here today for me to try on dresses and they had a single dress in a size 24 and that was the largest dress size. I was told I could pay $100 to try on the dress I liked in a size 24 which wasn’t even my size. I was told I’d have to buy a dress in my size in order to have it ordered into the store so I could try it on. I was also told if I did buy a dress to try on and it didn’t fit or I didn’t like it, there was no option to return it because all sales are final. I can’t believe they would lie about the availability for dress sizes, this was my first experience ever trying on a wedding dress and it was so disappointing. I can’t get back this first experience back, and I hope Blush Bridal is ashamed of lying to brides.
I had such a great experience getting my wedding dress and veil with Blush Bridal. It was very easy to set up the initial appointment, pick-up/try-on as well as the accessories appointment I set up for me veil. I had an appointment scheduled here and then with another shop I ended up canceling after my appointment here. I was fortunate to have the same consultant (Summer) for all of my appointments (not sure if this was on purpose), so she knew my vision which definitely helped. The shop as a whole are very accommodating to having other guests present for these appointments, and at my bridal try-on, served us with some champagne to help celebrate. I was the only one there during that time (again, unsure if this was purposeful or not) which was perfect, but I'm sure if there were more parties there, because it's a smaller space, it could get loud. Our experience, nevertheless, felt very intimate and cozy. I feel that they had a really wide selection of dresses, veils and accessories for all bridal styles. For my initial appointment, I picked several out to try on. I went through the whole experience of trying on all those dresses and not quite falling in love with them, only for Summer to pull out my dream dress at the end and fall in love. Half of me wonders if she didn't do it on purpose knowing she had the perfect dress after I told her what I wanted, just so I could still get the experience which I genuinely appreciate. :) Summer was very kind, knowledgeable and professional in helping me get everything on during this trial and the follow-up. She asked me to trust her and be open to trying things I might not think I'll like at our initial appointment. She was never "sales-y," and gave my honest, helpful feedback. I'll encourage all friends and family to be engaged to this shop to get their dream dress any day of the week!
I had an amazing experience at Blush Bridal. The associates were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and they were able to help me through the whole wedding dress selection, purchase, and alterations process. I was initially unsure of which dress style I wanted to go with for our wedding, but I was able to try on so many different options during my first appointment at the salon which really helped me to narrow down the choices and make my ultimate decision. The dress I purchased fit our modern, minimalist wedding vision perfectly and I was able to stay within my original dress budget. I would highly recommend visiting Blush Bridal for the comfortable shopping experience, the wide dress selection, and the professionalism of the associates.
Staff was very helpful and were quick to make adjustments when I needed them. They were everything I was hoping for and more! I loved my dress as well, it was exactly what I wanted.
We are so thankful for the team at Blush Bridal! As a queer couple, my wife and I wanted to shop for our dresses together but not see each other's picks, and Blush was so keen to help us have this experience. The stylists seemed to have fun helping us pull our dresses and see how they worked together, all while letting us each have our own experience dress shopping. I ultimately ended up saying yes to the dress at Blush, and my stylist was so helpful in that process--she ultimately pulled the dress at the end of the appointment after narrowing down exactly what I was looking for. When I was unsure to say yes, she sat me down and was willing to have a conversation about the other dresses I was considering. We ultimately decided to add customization to my dress and I knew I had to say yes. Even after making the purchase, Blush remained so helpful and friendly-- always remembering who I was (even a year later), sending me a thank you card, and offering to steam my dress right before the big day. We both will always have fond memories of dress shopping thanks to Blush.
Blush Bridal was so easy to work with when looking for a wedding dress. The consultants are kind, calm, knowledgeable, and caring. They want you to choose the best dress for yourself. My consultant listened to me and ultimately helped me pick the perfect dress for myself. The ordering process was simple and the dress arrived in plenty of time! My veil arrived in plenty of time as well. I'm so glad we chose to go with Blush Bridal!
I was looking at so many other places to find THE dress until I came to Blush Bridal. I love how friendly the staff is and my consultant was amazing! I wasn’t pressured into buying anything and she really helped me find the dress of my dreams by allowing me to try on different styles and listening to my likes and dislikes. The prices were also better than I was expecting. Love this place!
Don't buy a dress that needs alterations. The employees are very nice and kind but when I was picking my dress I was promised that these big changes were easy to do and it was no problem. My consultant who has been in this business for many years missed significant details that changed how my dress could be done. I was lied to, manipulated into believing them, and put under copious amounts of stress. Because of them, the last stitch was not done until the day before my wedding because they didn't notice their mistake until late in the game. Thankfully they did pay for their part of the alterations which is why I am giving them three stars even though the stress wants me to give them one.
I attempted to reach the owner to resolve an issue with ordering a dress and had not heard back. My experience started good but then the sales associate Summer became pushy and I ended up buying a dress that I do not want. The moment I liked a dress Summer ran off to write up a bill. After insisting that I needed time to think the bill was put in my hand multiple times. By the end I felt like I had to purchase the dress because of the push back I got just for refusing to buy a head piece. This could have been resolved immediately after the dress was purchased from the owner getting back to be and offering to contact the designer to find out if the dress was cut already and charging a cancel fee. Instead the sale was put above the customer. Will be having someone else pick up the dress because I do not want to return. It started good then got so pushy I am out almost $2k on a dress I did not want and will never wear. Was expecting more and better service from reviews. Wedding dress shopping should not feel like the associate is overwhelmed with other clients and pushing for a sale despite client protests. I wish I could say I'm exaggerating when I say that this whole situation has put a negative feel on my whole wedding.
Edit: The responce the owner overlooks the pushy nature of their sales associates and gas-lights brides instead of taking responsibilityfor their unethical sales tactics. The owner is now hiding behind contracts and accusing me of regret not looking at the issues of sales associates pushing dresses onto clients because another appointment came in, they were short staffed, and they needed to sell something. It is concerning that the owner finds it acceptable for the sales associates to hand someone a bill without the person asking for it then guilting them into the purchase after being asked multiple times for times to think.
I am so glad that I had my dress experience at Blush Bridal! It was my first and only shop that I visited for my gown and I fell in love with the first dress that I put on. I continued to try on many other suitors but I went back to the very first one and I couldn't stop smiling. My consultant was warm/friendly, knowledgeable, and made the moment so special from the moment we walked in the door. My appointment was over the summer during the pandemic and we felt reassured that my dress would come in time for my wedding in November. We were never rushed or pressured during our appointment and it made the appointment/experience very enjoyable! Everyone had one goal during our time in the store and it was to rally for me and find MY dress! The prices are very reasonable compared to other stores that I called and asked their price ranges. There was a wide variety of fits and styles to suit anyone's vision and make every bride feel beautiful. I loved my dress even more with each fitting that went by and I got compliments for days about how it fit like a glove to my body! I was a blushing bride and I feel so blessed for the support I got from everyone at Blush Bridal!
I was so happy with my decision to go to Blush Bridal. Everyone was just absolutely amazing! We didn't feel rushed or pressured and I just felt like everyone was there for me. It was one of the most important decisions and I am beyond thrilled with my dress. I wish I could just wear it all the time!! I would recommend them over and over!!!
Such a great experience shopping here. They were so kind and helpful in getting the perfect dress. My consultant, Alanna was so amazing. She listened to me and realized that I did want a more dramatic dress than what I thought I wanted.
I was disappointed to find that they only had one dress in the entire store with sleeves and also they didn't have anything less than a size 12 on the racks. of course, they always pin it, but it's just hard to get excited about a dress that is way too big. The ladies were very nice, but to be perfectly honest, it was a slightly stressful experience. I felt like they were hovering a lot and also very concerned about social distancing because there was another group in at the same time as us,, so that added to the pressure a bit. It really wasn't a bad experience, thus the four stars. I just prefer to leave honest reviews.
I felt like I was one of those super picky girls when it came to my wedding dress as Blush Bridal was not the first salon I visited, however, I really enjoyed each of the dresses I tried on there the most of any of the other places I went. They have a wide variety of fits and styles to suit anyone's vision! Each of member of the team there is very knowledgeable and all were very warm and inviting.
Jackie made my experience of trying on and finding the perfect dress so easy! She completely understood the style I was going for and ultimately helped me pick out the perfect gown. She even let me walk around with a cute little flower crown and some fake flowers from a vase they had in the store - it was such a fun experience!
I would also like to note that prices at Blush Bridal are really reasonable compared to other bridal salons and boutiques in the Lancaster area.
Thank you so much, Blush!
I LOVED working with Blush Bridal to get the dress of my dreams! They are so pleasant and helpful! I never felt rushed during the process and they took care of EVERYTHING from getting the dress in (during COVID...), providing an excellent seamstress, and getting it cleaned afterwards. Highly recommend using them to get your special dress!
Seriously, I cannot thank the ladies at Blush enough. We eloped in CO and didn't tell anyone until we got home (we even kept our engagement a secret!).
The whole thing was absolutely perfect and the secret (and later reveal) were SO worth it, but the one part that was a little hard for me as a bride was picking out a wedding dress alone. Cue....the ladies of Blush Bridal!
The second I walked in, Alanna made me feel like a rockstar. I also ended up buying the first dress that she suggested. Her excitement and joy for me very much made me feel not alone in my experience!
Everyone I interacted with at Blush was amazingly kind and professional. And, the dress was a hit with the HUSBAND (!) and all who we've now shared the pics with.
I highly recommend Blush!!
I did not buy my dress here since I live out of state, but when we hit a literal snag with my dress (the beading on my dress started to rip after transporting it via plane to PA) a few days before my wedding in Lancaster, Blush Bridal saved me with a quick and very reasonable repair. All of the people at the shop were super friendly, even after dealing with stressed out brides-to-be. I would highly recommend them!
Blush Bridal provided an AMAZING experience for shopping for my wedding dress. Their staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Shopping here was magical and so much fun! Thank you so much for the most wonderful experience!
I'm from out of town, and this is by far the most amazing bridal shop!! From day one of trying on the dress, to saying yes, to fittings, my experience was superior! Everyone is so sweet at this shop and truly makes you feel special! Such a great selection & variety of styles to choose from. I was so happy with my dress, it was literally made for me!
I had a great experience here! Everything was great- the girls clearly love their job and I was able to find my perfect wedding dress.
You will not be disappointed in the experience with Blush Bridal. The selection and staff are top notch! I fell in love with my dress the moment I put it on. Looking at it on the hanger, I would not have chosen it, but once it was on me, I cried!
The staff were always welcoming, professional, and so happy to help.
I highly recommend Blush Bridal!
I loved the experience of working with Blush to find and alter my perfect dress
Very relatable and easy-going, made for such a great experience to get my wedding and bridesmaid dresses from!
I was so happy I found my dress at Blush Bridal! It truly was the dress of my dreams and what I have always pictured being in on my wedding day. The staff was amazing to work with and the atmosphere is positive and peaceful!
Very accommodating and helpful in finding the perfect dress. They also have a great seamstress, Summer, who I really enjoyed working with.
This place is awesome! They are patient, kind, and organized! It was my first time wedding dress shopping. They email you before your appointment and ask how many people will be coming with you, and they assign your dressing room based on the number of people that need to be seated in front of you. At the end of the appointment, I wasn't sure yet and there was absolutely no pressure. Allie was incredible! Allie indicated that they track which dresses were the bride's favorite and if I go back, they'll easily be able to pull up the information. She also gave me a card with my favorites. Then, a couple days later, I get a thank you card in the mail from them! I highly recommend this salon!
Had such a great experience here ! Went for bridesmaids dresses I forget the name of our consultant but she was great!!! Made everyone comfortable and was knowledgeable about the dresses and colors ! We went to two other shops that day and this was by far our favorite ! We did end up ordering the dresses from here and can’t wait to get them in! Such a fun experience for everyone involved !
I went into the shop on a whim with my mom and couldn't have been more pleased with the service and attention I was given. I tried on about a dozen wedding dresses but wasn't finding "THE ONE" and then Alyssa brought over a dress that one would not think of for a bridal wedding gown. It fit my vision perfectly and could be ordered in white (dress I tried on was navy) and the price was so very much in my budget. I, of course, said "yes to the dress!" I loved how I looked in my dress on my wedding day and my husband couldn't stop telling me how beautiful I looked. Loads of compliments on the dress from our family and friends. So glad my mom and I stopped in that day! Thank you so much to Alyssa and everyone at Blush Bridal!
My experience with Blush started out wonderfully. I had an appointment in July of 2017. The consultant I worked with was fantastic and made me feel right at home when trying on dresses. I went in thinking I wanted one style of dress and quickly learned that style looked terrible on me! She helped me find a gorgeous dress that suited me much better. In under an hour I had the dress of my dreams picked out, a 50% down payment made and a promise of the dress arriving between March-May of 2018. March of 2018 came and went, April came went and May finally arrived. When I hadn't heard anything I decided to call them to check in. The woman I spoke with told me she had actually just been looking into my dress order and thought my dress had shipped a few days prior and gave me a tentative timeline of approximately 10-15 days to arrival. Great news! But just in case she would have the owner call me back in an hour or so. An hour or so turned into the next day, no big deal. The owner then told me not only had my dress not shipped yet, it wasn't even done in production...imagine my disappointment. It's now the end of May and my wedding is in September. Further, she told me the production facility in China was backed up, which isn't unusual and she showed a tentative ship date of late June which put the dress at their shop early July. She told me not to worry though because their seamstress only needed a minimum of 10 weeks to do alterations. In my head, I was quickly trying to do some math. By this timeline, if everything went absolutely perfectly and I was able to get into the shop basically the day the dress arrived for a fitting (I live 3 hours away), that would mean the dress would be ready the week before my wedding. I could barely come up with anything to say on the phone at this point. I was frustrated and trying not to freak out. All I could say was, "But you told me my dress would arrive sometime between March and May and it's the end of May..." Her response was that this timeframe is an estimate. The designer I had picked never takes less than 9 months to produce and they would have received a more accurate ship date once they placed the order. First, how would I know this? No one told me that. I'm not in the wedding business. Why wasn't I then called when the order was place, and updated on the ship date? Why wasn't I called when the production facility was delayed? Why was I told that my dress had shipped when it hadn't even been finished? My mom called the next day, or the day after, and spoke with the owner herself who then told me mom a different story. The production facility was behind because of Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is in February. Both my mom and I work with many Chinese vendors and this is never an issue. Also being in the wedding dress industry, I feel like they should be accustomed to this and prepared. This was a poor excuse. Five minutes later in the call, she tells my mom that the dress has now shipped and would arrive within the week. At this point I had already bought a new dress based on the information I was told earlier. They refused to give me a refund or accept responsibility for their complete and utter lack of communication. This poor review is solely because of the lack of communication. The people I have met were again, fabulous, but this boutique has lost my trust and recommendation due to the lack of communication. Being in the wedding business, they should know better.
I was nervous and uncomfortable in my own skin walking in to try on my now wedding gown, but Blush Bridal made me feel beautiful and relaxed. I was bummed when a dress I had picked out online was not in stock, but they found me one instead that was more beautiful than I could have imagined. I got so many compliments on my dress and am so thankful to Blush Bridal for their assistance and expertise.
Joelle and Mary Ann were so wonderful. I needed a new dress less than two weeks before my wedding and they did everything they could to make sure I had the perfect dress.
I must say that I personally loved this little boutique! The employees were very attentive and helpful. The only thing that i noticed about this place was if I were a bigger girl, I would've had some issues finding dresses to try on, especially in bridesmaids dresses. Another suggestion for other brides is the earlier the better. The shipping timeline just for the dress to arrive to their store is 10 months, plus another 10-12 weeks for alterations. Besides that, this place is amazing and I will be going back for bridesmaids dresses.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Blush Bridal. Right from the get-to I was welcomed and treated wonderfully. This was my first bridal salon and I am so happy I visited Blush Bridal. I would highly suggest them to others!
The staff at Blush Bridal were AMAZING! I was an "Alfred Angelo" bride & at Blush Bridal they did everything they could to help me have that special moment once again. I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me find an even better dress & we will be going back there again for the bridesmaid dresses in just a month, and I can't wait.
Blush Bridal is amazing! From the staff to the atmosphere to the dresses, I was impressed by it all. I felt welcomed, not pressured and my consultant was so accommodating. After I had pulled some dresses that I liked in my price range and tried them on, she said there was one she thought I would love and went and pulled it for me. It was hundreds below my budget and exactly what I wanted. Thank you for helping me find my dress! I would highly recommend this shop to any future brides!
I am so happy that I bought my wedding gown at Bridal Emporium! They were so friendly. I went dress shopping the day before and felt very overwhelmed. I narrowed down the style of dresses I liked. They did not pressure me into trying on anything I did not like. They let myself and my sisters pick out dresses for me to try on. They were very professional and flexible. They pulled out any dresses I may have missed on the rack and brought it to the dressing room for me to see before trying it on. I was very happy with the quality of my dress. It looked beautiful in the photos. I highly recommend going to Bridal Emporium once you know what style dress you like. It was my third time/place trying on dresses which helped narrow down my dream dress. I can not imagine going through any one else for one of the most important days in my life.
HIGHLY Recommend! My daughter had no idea of what type of a dress she wanted. Bridal Emporium had a wonderful selection of beautiful gowns! And to fit every budget! The owner Alyssa was so kind, and allowed us to come in even though we had not made an appointment. My daughter found the perfect dress, in the price range she wanted! We also had bridesmaids try on dresses as well. Even though we did not buy a bridesmaid there, everyone was so kind and helpful!
So helpful - each person had great suggestions and gave input that was helpful. So glad to give them my business! Highly recommend! Thanks!
Wonderful experience all around at the Bridal Emporium. We had a Sunday appointment with Alyssa Kurtz, a young professional associate whose personality wasn't pushy and who didn't rush my daughter at all. The place was quiet and we had our own cozy space in which to enjoy the appointment. Mary Ann, one of the co-owners checked in on us and she was very kind. Lots of gowns to choose from in a range of prices to please any bride. The owners do not skimp on quality of dress fabric as you will be able to tell in the lace, embroidery and "bling" on the gowns. The Bridal Emporium offered many dresses in blush, which my daughter was looking for and she was able to find a romantic ball gown in lace that will surely wow the crowd because of its uniqueness. We also found a veil there that complimented the gown perfectly. Wonderful experience and caring, down to earth staff. I thank them all dearly, and look forward to coming back!
Sincerely,
A very pleased Mother of the Bride
So happy that I walked into this shop! After months of searching for a wedding dress I was getting pretty frustrated. The staff at the Bridal Emporium were very kind and within 5 minutes of walking into the store I found the dress I had been looking for. I highly recommend this shop :)
Alissa and Mary-Ann were wonderful to work with. They paid attention to every little detail and everything ran smoothly. From coordinating the groomsmen, family, florist, photographers.. I didn't have a worry in the world. They go above and beyond and treat you like family. If you're on the fence about whether or not you need a coordinator (like I was), I'm telling you that it's completely worth it and allows you to take in every moment of your day.
I HIGHLY recommend this bridal shop. Mary Ann and Alissa (the owners), and Summer (the seamstress that works out of the shop) SAVED my wedding day for me. Summary of the story... I purchased my gown at ANOTHER (*mistake*) bridal store. The gown was 2 months late and I wasn't even sure if I was ever going to get my wedding dress. Out of desperation I contacted Bridal Emporium I spoke with Alissa, she went out of her way to contact the distributor and called me every day with a follow-up phone call on the status on my dress. (At this point I didn't purchase anything from them) So finally.. dress arrived 2 months late and 2-3 INCHES TOO SMALL. The store where I purchased the dress never measured my body. It couldn't be fixed. I was about ready to break down into tears. I don't cry and felt foolish that this was upsetting me so much, but this is my wedding dress! It is 2 months before my wedding and I DON'T HAVE A DRESS THAT FITS. Until Bridal Emporium and Summer (seamstress) provided me with SAME dress in a bigger size they had available....Are you kidding me? I have NEVER had such unbelievable customer service! Summer altered my dress 3 times.. even 3 days before my wedding to make it perfect. I couldn't believe Summer's dedication she actually sewed my straps on at 8pm the Tuesday night before my wedding weekend. Because of Bridal Emporium... I FELT BEAUTIFUL ON MY WEDDING DAY!!! Even outside of the wedding industry, I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH A GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!! and this is even harder to find in the wedding industry (BELIEVE ME!!!!!!!) It was hard to believe. If I could do it all over again I would have started at Bridal Emporium. Please do yourself a favor, save yourself some time and hassle and go to Bridal Emporium in Elizabethtown, PA, contact Alissa/Mary Ann and they will take care of you!!!!!!!!!!! By the time I was done these 3 amazing women felt like family! (sounds too good to be true, right? find out for yourself). Thanks BE!!!!!!
I had been to the Bridal Emporium several times, for bridesmaids dress shopping, ordering accessories etc. I found them to be very helpful, accommodating and helped me with advice in preparing for the big day. I also had alterations done there and they were not only done well but in a very timely manner. I was happy with my experience here.
Not so impressed. I recently went to check out the shop since I and my bridesmaids are local and pass the shop daily. I was not impressed. We were escorted downstairs in the basement to look for a dress. The lighting was terrible and it had a very old feel to it. My maid of honor hit her head on one of the lights while trying to look in the mirror. The dresses all felt pretty old and worn. Also the sizing is so off it makes you feel a bit self conscious. My maid of honor is normally a size 8 and had to try on size 12. Another bridesmaid that was with me was a size two and the selection of dresses she could actually fit into without looking like she was wearing a bag was very limited. They do not have two of the same dress so it was hard to imagine what the dress would look like on my different maids. If you are in the market for bridesmaid I'd advice going to a store where you don't have to go into a dark, dingy basement to try on look for dresses.
The owner and staff of Bridal Emporium are so helpful. They go out of their way to make the bride and her entourage feel special. I was about to give up on finding my perfect dress until I walked into the shop. They helped me create my vision from the a dress right off the rack. I would highly recommend this bridal salon especially if you are having difficulty finding "the dress."
Great experience! Everyone was so friendly and beautiful dresses! I would go back!!!!
I bought my wedding dress from Bridal Emporium. I was able to walk out with it because of their great selection of different sample sizes. Only disappointment was with service on shipping my veil and head piece. It was over a month longer than they originally quoted me.
Their seamstress ruined my dress, and the owner will not accept any responsibility for it. After going through this horrible experience with the Bridal Emporium, my advice would be to find a company who guarantees their alterations. The Bridal Emporium has the text "NO REFUNDS" at the bottom of their receipt. The company who we bought the replacement dress from has the text "SATISFACTION GUARANTEED" at the bottom of their receipt. Just something to consider.
I deeply regret going to the Bridal Emporium. I purchased a dress there and subsequently had alterations done by their seamstress, Summer. The alterations were terrible. It took 5 weeks to get my dress back (4 weeks until I was contacted and about 1 week to get schedules lined up). When I got it back it did not fit (2 weeks before my wedding)!
Summer had to literally squeeze me into the dress. I complained of difficulty breathing. Summer’s solution was to make a minor adjustment (moving the small top clasp). My rib cage was sore for hours after having the dress on.
Long story short, I went to the bridal shop nearly every day for a week – working with the owners and the seamstress to try to obtain a reasonable fit.
After 3 rounds of alterations, the dress was still not right. The owner had to have another employee assist her to even get the dress zippered. I had my fiancé come with me later the same day and he could barely get the dress closed (he commented that he was worried he was hurting me by even zippering the dress). Both the co-owner Mary Ann and the seamstress Summer told me there was nothing more they could do. It was obvious that this was not true, the dress could have been let out more. But I could not force them to do the work (and I had already paid everything in full).
It was so bad that my fiancé and I immediately went to another bridal shop in Lancaster and purchased a new dress (this was about 1 week before the wedding!). They did an excellent job, and I wish I would have only worked with them.
I cannot put into words the amount of stress that was caused by the Bridal Emporium (right before my wedding). The dress was not wearable and they refused to give me a refund. It was an absolutely terrible experience. I wish I had heeded a prior review that implicated Summer and the shop for poor work on alterations.
The employees and owners were great to work with. Prices are reasonable/average. My only complaint is the communication was a little poor. Was told my dress would be in 2 months earlier than it actually came in therefore I had my first fitting 2 weeks before my wedding. No apologies were offered however the alterations were completed on time and the dress fit nicely. I received many compliments on my dress.
I absolutely loved my wedding gown that I found at the Bridal Emporium! I found a dress that fit me, both my style and my budget. They were so great to work with because they weren't pushy at all and even threw in for free the belt that made the dress! The seamstress was also wonderful to work with and got everything done in two visits which was great for me as I grew up locally, but am living out of town now. Loved that I got my dress from a small town shop and not a chain store. If you're planning your wedding in central PA, make a stop by the Bridal Emporium!
Everyone was so nice! I tried on multiple gowns and they were so patient with me. The followed up to see how everything went and kept in contact throughout the entire process. My dress was beautiful and within my budget! 5/5
I Love, love, loved my experience with bridal emporium! I wasn't just another client- what I wanted mattered and the dress I adored online just so happen to be there! We tried on a bunch of a dresses and I never felt rushed by my bridal consultant! It came it very fast and was sized perfectly! Their seeamstess is fantastic as well! I loved everything about this bridal shop and highly recommend it to any new bride to be!
Had a great experience working with the ladies at Bridal Emporium. Found my perfect dress there at a great price! Order came in on time and alterations were easy. They even found some random straps laying around that matched my dress perfectly and let me purchase them. Definitely recommend them!!!
The ladies at the Elizabethtown Bridal Emporium were SO helpful in guiding me and my bridal party to find the perfect bridesmaid dresses. Not to mention that their bridesmaid dress selection is enormous! I am not sure how we could've left without finding something that we loved! They even ordered ties from the same company we purchased our dresses from for my husband and our groomsman that matched perfectly. They also came to the rescue when I needed a veil, after not being able to find that I loved, a few weeks before the wedding. My husband, bridal party, and I visited them many times and each time we were there, they were kind and caring. I truly felt as though they couldn't do enough for us. They were so wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone looking for personalized service with people who truly care about your big day.
I went to many shops in the area and the bridal emporium had wonderful service and a great selection of dresses in all sizes. Their dresses also fit very nicely into my budget. They did not pull any dresses over the amount I specified to them, so there was no risk of falling in love with a dress you can't afford. I actually fell in love with a dress under my budget! They were a pleasure to work with. Summer did my alterations and was wonderful and again very reasonably priced. Highly recommend all brides go check them out!
I chose to visit Bridal Emporium after reading reviews that their prices were better than other local shops but their selection was still great. I couldn’t agree more. I ended up choosing the very first dress that I tried on and absolutely loved it (still do)! Their selection contains many styles and their staff is very kind and accommodating. I would highly recommend Bridal Emporium!
