Bridal Boutique by New Name

d on 15 or so dresses and that wasn't even half of what they had in my size. I found the perfect dress. Communication when setting up the appointment was so easy and the responses were always prompt. The volunteer that was my stylist was fantastic, she let me set the pace of the appointment and added the perfect amount of input. She had the knowledge to show me exactly what I needed when I didn't even know what I needed. Overall I would highly recommend Bridal Boutique by New Name.

is donated, all the dresses are donated, everyone who helped me day of was a volunteer, and the money goes back to helping women. If I was going to spend money on a dress that I will wear for one day, I wanted it to have more meaning behind it. The volunteers were so helpful when helping me pick out my selection. They also made me feel comfortable when getting in and out of the dresses. When I found my dress we all cheered and jumped for joy. Such a fun experience! I would recommend New Name to anyone having a wedding!

my dress. The atmosphere was very bridal and very welcoming. There was a wide variety of dresses and sizes. I did find a perfect dress there but wanted a more "botique" experience. I went to that right after Bridal Botique by New name. And let me tell you- Bridal Botique by New Name was bew the bridal botique I went to out of the water. After only 30 minutes I ran back and purchased my dress. All around I loved my experience. I love my dress, I love that it was under budget as a used dress and I love that my dollars go to a good cause. I cannot recommend this place more

New Name, I had visited 3 other shops. New Name is completely volunteer run and I think this is what made the experience so sweet! As I walked in I was greeted by two women who have been best friends for a few decades that want to support women in their wedding journey. There were so many dressed and veils to choose from! I settled on one and am excited to wear it on my wedding day! :)

them!

dress within an hour and a half of being there. The prices compared to normal boutiques are amazing… I’m shocked at the discount I got my dress for!

mmend this place enough if you are looking for a dress with a purpose.

avid's Bridal, I came across Bridal Boutique by New Name and made an appointment. They were extremely responsive and flexible even when I had to cancel 2 appointments due to illness. We were greeted by 2 wonderful volunteers who spent time talking about their mission. They assisted me in trying on almost 20 dresses, some I picked out, some they recommended. Ultimately we narrowed it down and sealed the deal when putting it together with the veil. We stayed well within my budget! I felt beautiful, confident, encouraged, and supported in the decision. All of the proceeds from dress sales go to an incredible mission of supporting abused and trafficked women so I walked away feeling so good about my purchase. All together, an incredible organization with well trained, compassionate volunteers. I feel so fortunate to have had this experience. Thank you, Bridal Boutique by New Name!!!! Highly recommend!

hat I could support such a wonderful cause.

They helped me to find a style that I wasn’t expecting for myself, but love! They really seemed to care about finding the right dress for me, and didn’t make me feel rushed into choosing. I was able to put my dress on hold and able to try it on again a week later. Will be telling all the brides I know about this place!

ing about the mission of the organization.

e about their mission, to booking the appointment and then trying on dresses and finding the one - it was seamless! I got the same experience (if not better) than my friends who went to larger boutiques and spent 3x what I spent. Not only are you having a private and personalized bridal experience, but you are supporting an incredible organization while doing so. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was perfect - they had a lot of variety in styles and sizes. Sue and Stacy helped me pick out dresses that would fit my personality, wedding style and body type, as well as interacted kindly with my family and never once rushed me. I found a gorgeous dress and I'm so glad I can help a very worthy Christian organization! I HIGHLY recommend shopping at this boutique!!

ess I love. The added bonus is that I got to take the dress home the same day and my money went to an amazing organization.

es or gently used), the volunteers so very helpful and friendly, and it was an overall great experience! The mission of this boutique is an added bonus.

the perfect dress for my wedding. And of course, it supports a great cause!

no rush and that was very clear from the beginning. The experience was unmatched. I found my dress and recommend all brides check it out.

ith their opinions when I was unsure. When I found a dress I liked they also jumped in and held up vails and belts and hair bling to support in me seeing the full vision. They are not pushy at all and just so supportive. This goes to a great cause on top of it and these dresses are so reasonably priced! This was the first and last place I went to look for my dress! 10/10 would recommend!

friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place to any bride!!

h Deb and Colleen and could tell they really cared that I was going home with a dress I loved. Can’t wait to show it off in July! 🥰

cal women in need. I had my appointment on October 27th. After trying on many gorgeous dresses there, I found one I absolutely fell in love with. The ladies were very nice to work with and helpful with getting in and out of the dresses. I wasn't rushed at all. It's in a nice location. It's in the basement of the owners house but you would never guess it because it's set up and looks exactly like a dress boutique shop. They also have accessories for purchase as well. 10/10 recommend Bridal Boutique by New Name!

n. I was able to walk away from my appointment not only with my dream wedding dress (at an insanely discounted price), but also with the amazing feeling that my dress directly helped benefit exploited and trafficked women in the area. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment!

eally made the whole experience feel special. I tried on so many beautiful dresses - it was tough to choose! But it is amazing to know that buying my dress supported such an amazing cause. Would 10000/10 recommend! Thank you!

dress and having the best time! Carol and Danka were so helpful, they helped explain which alterations could be made to dresses that didn’t quite fit, brought out veils and accessories, and made the appointment so fun and relaxed! I am so thankful for the experience I got to have here and I got the most beautiful dress (for less than 1/4 of the original price and all going to charity!!) that I cannot wait to wear on the big day. I’d highly recommend this to any brides in the Chicago area and beyond!

de in the space, and they really listened to what I wanted in a dress. They made me feel so comfortable with the process, and they helped me find the perfect dress for a reasonable price. They were even kind enough to let me stay a little longer to decide if that was the dress I wanted. I highly recommend this boutique!

and types of wedding dresses. I found my wedding dress here for a great price and I'm so glad that I did. It is also a wonderful cause to donate to.

appy that I was able to find my dress here!

o give it a try. It feels like a bridal boutique despite being in a basement, and there were so many dresses to choose from! I tried on about 12-15 dresses, all in my size and in the style I was hoping for. The volunteer was very helpful but not overbearing. Overall, great experience, great dress, great price, and best of all, great cause! I would recommend Bridal Boutique by New Name in a heartbeat!

dress there and I’m guessing it was previously altered to someone my size, so I am not paying a dime for alterations (super rare, it was meant to be!) I got the dress itself for under $700, and it has gorgeous lace and beading over the whole thing. It was so nice to have the entire boutique to myself and my guests, and the volunteers are incredibly kind and helpful. Also, no wait time for ordering a dress is awesome for anyone wanting a shorter engagement! One of my best friends also got her dress here, and we much preferred this experience to a local bridal store we visited. We’re both pretty tall, and New Name had plenty of options for both of us! Also, the mission of the boutique to help victims of trafficking in the Chicago area is a major draw. So many things you pay for in planning your wedding are hundreds or thousands of dollars towards the wedding industrial complex; Bridal Boutique by New Name is an investment in the lives of local women. CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH. Carve it on my gravestone, this place is great. No other bridal boutique can compare.

d up getting the last dress I tried on here and I am so glad I did :)

ers were so kind, patient, and helpful, and went out of their way to create a second time for me to come back in with my family and friends to make my final decision. The fact that on top of this, everything goes to a good cause? I HIGHLY recommend!!

hold and came back for it a few days later. They let me try it on again and I ended up loving it even more the second time ☺️

sses at great discounts. The volunteers make you feel welcome and comfortable, and they are incredibly knowledgeable and full of great ideas for each of the dresses I tried on. I was alone, but they were happy to take pics of me to send to my mom! I had an amazing experience, and it was made even better knowing that payment for my beautiful wedding dress went towards such a beautiful cause. I would highly recommend Bridal Boutique by New Name to any bride-to-be!

had a wide variety of styles and way larger inventory than we were anticipating. I was able to find the perfect dress and contribute to a beautiful mission.

rked with. They gave up a lot of their time and were so kind and helpful.
