I have had a great experience with them. I made a last minute appointment with them and they made us feel so comfortable. They weren't pushy at all with trying to sell us a dress but instead were focused on making sure I felt like a bride!
Everyone was so sweet and helpful! They asked me very nicely to wash my hands before trying any dresses on, to keep the dresses pristine. I thought that was such a great idea! I definitely recommend coming and saying yes to the dress here at Bridal Connection!
I said yes to my dress yesterday! This was the last of 3 stops on my first day out trying on dresses. I had dresses that I liked at the two other stores, but didn't have "the one" feeling quite yet. When I arrived, I was able to show Angelita the inspiration board I had made, and I was asked if there was a dress to beat. I really liked one from a previous store, so I showed her that one, and she enthusiastically said "I can beat that!" - I was interested to see if she could do it. She pulled quite a few dresses that were along the lines of my vision. When I walked out of the first dress, I was floored. It aligned so much better with what I wanted than what I was being given at the other stores. I was impressed and feeling good! My second dress was equally stunning, and I knew one of these two would be it. I tried on 3 more gorgeous dresses, all aligned with my inspiration board, and then circled back to the first two to make my choice. Both gave me butterflies and made me feel amazing - it felt great to have two different options that I was in love with!! Angelita was fun and you can tell - very proud and invested in what she does! She didn't rush me AT ALL. She kindly let me try on the dresses for a second time, we walked out to the lobby to see them in natural light, and she stood back, smiled, and let me take all the time I wanted to turn and pivot and pose and stare at myself to make sure I got the right one.
I do wish the facilities were larger/updated. The dressing room was a bit on the smaller side, and I feel like a lot of the interior could use a facelift to keep up with the "instagramable" industry, but in the grand scheme of things, that really didn't have any bearing on my experience - I was treated kindly, encouraged, made to feel beautiful, and I found THE ONE! Angelita listened and observed my preferences and made adjustments and suggestions as needed. I hope the rest of my experience goes as smoothly as finding my dress was!
I am so grateful to the whole Team at Bridal Connection! As a plus size bride, I was so nervous about dress shopping. But the moment I walked in everyone was so nice and helpful. From finding my dress to fittings to finale pick up they made me feel special. They even accommodated my vision of incorporating the vintage lace from my mother’s wedding dress into mine. 5 stars all around!!
This was such an amazing experience! Angelita pulled so many beautiful dresses for me that it made it so hard to choose from! Ultimately I chose the dress of my dreams and I am so glad Bridal Connection was able to help me out! I definitely recommend Bridal Connection. There were so many dresses and loved the variety!
I so greatly enjoyed my visit to Bridal Connection to get my wedding dress! I truly wasn't sure if I would be able to find a plus-size dress in my budget. My associate, whose name I believe is Holly, gave realistic expectations for the price, and ended up finding me an absolutely stunning dress under $600. I was so close to just ordering a dress online due to frustration at not being able to find a dress that felt right, so finding a dress that was so beautiful and felt like me was an amazing experience. Holly was also an INCREDIBLE associate and was so warm, really listened to my thoughts on each dress, and just knocked it out of the park with the dresses she brought out for me. All of the associates were very nice and helpful. Lastly, Bridal Connection was so accommodating in shipping the dress to me given that I'm an out-of-state bride. The process was very simple and streamlined, and I received my dress in careful packaging around a week later. ABSOLUTELY recommend visiting Bridal Connection!
Zoe and the rest of the ladies have been great with customer service and detail. My dress came in earlier than expected which worked better for me due to timing.
Had a wonderful time and they were so so helpful
The team at bridal Connection at Stone Oak was an absolute dream! They got to know me and my bridal party on a personal level to ensure the best customer service and in a timely manner. Their selection and brands within the boutique fit so well 🙂 And when it came down to alterations I knew I was in the best hands! I didn't my think it was possible to find my dream dress within my budget, but Angelita made it happen!
I flew in for Randy Fenoli’s trunk show today and Angelita was amazing. I had no idea what silhouette would flatter my frame. We tried dresses to narrow down what looked best and then I found 2 Randy dresses within an hour!
Angelita thank you for making my dream of wearing a Randy Fenoli dress come true!
HANDS DOWN the best place to shop! This was my second trip of the day. I was able to make an appointment the day of and come in right after my first appointment. Let’s just say I should have come here first!
Heidi was the most helpful and patient person I could ask for. She took her time helping me find EXACTLY what I was looking for! I came in initially not knowing what I wanted, tried on a few dresses and thought I had found the one. We left and went to grab lunch ( so I could think about the dress) and came back about 1.5 hours later. They were busy at the time but they accommodated me and Heidi once again helped me!! I completely changed the “look” I was going for and she helped me find dresses once again and narrow it down to my dream dress! So so thankful for Heidi and everyone else at the boutique as they were all super helpful!
I should have STARTED here! Angelita was a gem and helped me decide on the dress I ended up saying YES to (not an easy task)! Couldn't be happier with the process and I feel so lucky they had the designer dress I wanted and in my size. They even carried a VERY close second place dress, which made it very hard to decide on! Angelita made me feel so beautiful and super comfortable. Coming from someone who gets anxiety from the word "bridal", the Bridal Connection at Stone Oak was a super quick and painless experience for me. I highly recommend this place as your FIRST stop!! 🥰🥂
Everyone at Bridal Connection made me feel amazing. They listen to what you like and pull the best options for you. I had an amazing time and found my dress. Can’t wait to wear my dress in December!
I had such an amazing experience, the vibe and atmosphere is great and very welcoming. Everyone is so nice and Angelita did an amazing job in helping me find my dress and feel like a bride. Thank you Bridal Connection for making such a special day very memorable and thank you to my wedding planner Stephanie for recommending them! ❤️
I'm not sure how to begin how phenomenal everyone was to me and family and friends. I appreciate the patience that they had. Kaja and Alissa were super sweet and patient. These ladies are so genuine and show so much adoration to their customers. I didn't feel pressured and didn't feel any stress whatsoever. It's such an emotional roller coaster but it was handled so well and made me feel so welcomed and comfortable throughout the whole process. Even though my first visit was not successful, they were okay for me to come back a second time. Angelita took care of me the second time and even showed me a dress I never knew I'd fall for. Angelita made it so easy and I am so happy that my family (cousins and friends recommended this place) showed me this salon. I'm so happy I found a dress and it was just amazing that I found my dream dress. Experience was wonderful and I felt so happy. I recommend this to any bride to look here. Their service was terrific and everyone was so accommodating. Great service and wonderful people here. Even Zoe and Heidi were wonderful. I can't say enough how appreciative I am for them. Thank you for having my perfect dress!
The customer service by everyone at Bridal Connections was exceptional! Thank you all especially to Zoe for being so patient, attentive to detail and helping me find the perfect wedding dress among such a beautiful collection!
I thoroughly enjoyed dress shopping at the Bridal Connection. They took and overwhelming situation and made it quite easy to choose the perfect dress. They are attentive, kind, and understanding. My wedding day is going to be perfect thanks to their contribution.
I went to Bridal Connection during a Randy Fenoli trunk show and got to meet the man himself! It was such a surreal experience and everyone was so nice and accommodating. My dress was of course a Randy Fenoli, his Drew dress was perfect for me! I got my "Say Yes to the Dress" moment and would never trade that for the world! Even after the trunk show the girls at the store were amazing to work with! Any time I have a friend getting married I make sure they make an appointment over there!
Everyone at Bridal Connection is amazing! They are super personable, listen to your wants/needs and give you a memorable experience! Angelita was incredible. She did everything she could to make sure I found the dress of my dreams!
Bridal Connections made finding my dream wedding dress such a wonderful experience. Heidi was incredibly kind and professional, as well as the other staff members! Would highly recommend!
Went to Bridal Connection as my final place to look for my wedding dress. Zoe knew exactly my vision after showing her some pictures and pulled dresses in the style I was wanting. She was super sweet and helpful in narrowing down dresses and helping me choose my wedding dress!
Amazing place , I tried on 3 dresses and the 3rd one was it . I Was already having a hard time at other places and they were head one ! Got exactly what I was looking for . Great customer service as well !! Made me feel very pretty
I recommend every bride go to Bridal Connection for their dream dress! Everyone was SO incredible and helpful. My stylist knew exactly the vision from my description (even though I wasn't super helpful with the terminology when I came in) and brought out multiple amazing options. They had a great selection of gowns in my size range, which I had been nervous about prior. The whole experience was laid-back, and I didn't feel rushed or pressured. I found a dress way better than I even imagined!
I didn’t bother looking anywhere else, Anjelita is amazing every step of the way, she even came to my wedding. She styled me beautifully and gave me exactly what I wanted!
Angelita (store manager) helped me find my dream dress! She was spot on with my style, and found the perfect fit for my body! She was incredibly kind, and helpful! The store has sooo many beautiful options, and actually had dresses in my size (every other salon had sample sizes that were much too large, and had to be clamped so much, it was hard to envision what the dress should look like). Her entire staff is great! Thank you Angelita for being so great to my family and I. You truly made the day so special for me, are so talented, and I feel so blessed to have had you as my consultant. I can’t wait for my dress to come in. - Shannon and family (we love you!!!)
I had such a wonderful experience here! The staff is so freaking sweet and made me feel so gorgeous!!!! They make you feel so comfortable and at home here! They help you find THE dress, even if it’s not what you think you wanted at first! I found my dream dress here and all my bridesmaids got dresses here as well! I love this boutique and will be recommending it to literally everyone I know!
Was helpful finding a dress. Very nice and professional.
Bridal connection was the second dress fitting appointment that I had. From the moment I walked in, my experience was completely different from the one before. Zoe was absolutely phenomenal! She selected the perfect style of dresses that fit my preference. She was so kind and patient and truly helped my dress shopping experience exceed my expectations. She picked out so many beautiful dresses that it was truly difficult to decide. She finally brought out an absolutely STUNNING dress that left me speechless. She truly saved the best for last!! I highly recommend Bridal Connection if you are looking for a positive overall experience, as well as a choice of beautiful dresses.
This was an experience like no other. Bridal Connection jumped through hoops to get me my one of a kind Randy Fenoli gown and matching veil. It was a size 2 and I'm a 10 since it was the only one ever made. Their amazing seamstress Nazzy came into a corset and an off the shoulder. It looked perfect and you would never know it was changed. I love it so much, thank you.
Didn't plan on finding the one today. But omg I fell in love their customer service is above and beyond. They listened to everything I asked for and had it ready for me when I got there. ❤️ so happy I found a dress here and am getting it in ivory
So to start this off I didn't go here with the intention of finding my dress but I did! It was an all around great experience from beginning to the very end. I originally booked the appointment for during the shop hours but then heard about their private appointments before or after hours. I really loved the idea of having the shop to myself and those I invited to enjoy the experience with me. With this in mind I changed my appointment to the private booking which the lovely ladies here were so nice about me changing the appointment last minute. Getting there they showed us the room we would have and told us we could set up our food and drinks. Following that they pulled me aside and asked me what exactly I was looking for in a dress. When I explained my vision and the wedding theme they completely understood the assignment. They brought out all the dresses that were tailored to my body type while still keeping my theme in mind. When we put on my dress that I went with not only did my family and friends get emotional but Angelita and Valerie did too. Everyone just knew. It was such a beautiful moment and I'm glad I got to share it with not only my family and friends but Angelita and Valerie as well. I want to thank the lovely ladies at this shop for making my dream dress a reality.
I had the best time shopping for my dress at bridal connections! Angelita was the best soul and made sure I left with my dream dress! 💖
This was the third and final bridal shop I went to. We had an appointment earlier that morning but I didn’t find ‘the’ dress so we called around to see where I could go later that same day. Angelita was able to help us out. I showed her some pictures of what I tried on and what I like about them. She was able to find what I was looking for instantly. I found THE dress of my dreams and knew as soon as I put it on. But Angelita suggested I see it in the natural light since my ceremony will be outdoors. It was even more beautiful! Thank you so much Angelita!!
Ms. Angelita was amazing! I’ll be honest to say that when I walked in; I did not have a specific dress in mind because I was more concerned and stress with the details of the venue and chapel. Angela measure me and asked if I had a specific dress in mind or my estimate. I gave her some very vague details but it was as if she knew exactly what I had envisioned. She knew immediately that I found my dress! She helped me every step of the way. I love her personality and charisma and let’s not forget her energy! I most definitely felt like family!! Thank you Zoe, Ralf and Angelita for helping me with it all. I must say that they definitely made choosing the dress so very simple and stress free!
Best experience! I had a vision of what I wanted and looked online see what stores might have what I wanted but I found nothing. This was the only store that I found that had what I wanted. I have never tried on a wedding dress till I went here and found my dream dress after trying on just 3 dresses! They really listened to what I wanted and what my budget was. I honestly recommend this place they really care for the bride and the energy is what you need when finding your dream dress
Bridal Connection was the most wonderful shopping experience! I was fortunate enough to find the perfect dress here, but even if I hadn't, it would have definitely been worth the experience. The ladies were so kind and really listened to what I had to say. They looked at photos I brought and listened to my family. By listening and communicating, the consultant pulled the perfect dress- one I would probably never have thought to pull. Definitely one of my favorite bridal shopping experiences.
My dress was so beautiful and lasted halfway through the night until all of my buttons in the back completely fell off as if they were all sewn on with 1 single thread. with this happening, I could no longer hook my train to any buttons, leaving it dragging all night. I am very disappointed with the stitch work done allowing this to happen
Bridal Connection was my second store to visit when I was shopping for my wedding dress. I had an idea in mind of what I wanted: a blush pink dress, full and flowy skirt, some form of sleeves, lace, and showed them all my pinterest saves lol! After about 3-4 dresses that I just didn't like one thing or another, the consultant asked if she could pull something that came to mind and that was it! I absolutely fell in love with the dress and ordered it that day! It came in the time frame they told me it would, and I had several alterations appts with one of the seamstresses there. Each time I went to the store the staff was so welcoming and pleasant to work with. Two weeks before my wedding I went into the shop on a whim for a veil. The consultant that day wasted no time helping me find one and offered suggestions, I left the boutique that day with a veil and it was absolutely perfect! I can't say enough great things about the staff at Bridal Connection. I feel like they truly listened to what I was looking for, have a wonderful collection/assortment, are friendly and attentive, they know bridal wardrobe!! I absolutely love them!! 10/10 recommend!
The ladies at Bridal Connection are some of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with. After having such a horrible experience at a different bridal store, these ladies were able to completely turn the situation around and save my dress and my sanity before my wedding day.
Here is my story:
I had previously purchased a dress from another bridal store and had some alterations done at that same bridal store. The alterations were more than just subpar. My dress was completely botched. The alterations ladies there downplayed their horrible mistakes and made it seem like nothing wrong was done. I left the store in tears because of how awful it looked. I even told them I would have to find another dress. I only had a month before my wedding and I never even received a call from the manager to apologize and try to remedy the situation. I was so upset I even showed my fiancé the dress and ruined the surprise just to make sure I wasn’t going crazy. He agreed that the dress was unacceptable and wanted a complete refund. I paid $2,000 in alterations and spent around $8,000 for the dress and veil. I felt completely taken advantage of but I didn’t want to take any legal action and cause even more stress before our wedding. I didn’t think anyone could fix my disaster of a dress so I started looking around for another one. Bridal Connection was my last stop after visiting five other bridal shops. The ladies there were so nice and welcoming. I tried on a few of their beautiful dresses but nothing was quite like the original dress I picked. I showed Angelita, the store manager, my dress and she understood my frustration and sympathized with me. After I explained my horrible experience, she kindly and generously offered to have Nazzy, her alterations specialist, take a look at my dress and see what could be done. The next day I came in and Nazzy was able to asses the damage and come up with a solution. She told me “your dress doesn’t need alterations, it needs plastic surgery!” She also gave me some wise advice that made me feel more at ease. She said to not worry about what had already been done because she didn’t want me to bring that negativity into my marriage. She was going to make it right no matter how much work it was going to take. Nazzy and Angelita gave me so much hope and relief by assuring me that my dress would be fixed. A few alterations appointments later and my dress was not only fixed but a work of art! I felt so beautiful and confident! My situation was truly a blessing in disguise because if it weren’t for my horrible experience I would never have had the pleasure of meeting and working with these wonderful ladies. I will forever be grateful for their kindness and exceptional service.
I had seen this bridal shop on my IG feed one time, so when I got engaged, I knew I wanted to make this shop my first stop. I booked my appointment, when I went in, I had a lovely girl by the name of Sofia be my consultant. I feel in love with the 1st gown she picked for me( I tried on about 5 that day)! I decided to go to other bridal shops, but I couldn't get the dress Sofia had picked for me out of my head, I knew I had to go back and get it! Two weeks later, I went back and purchased my dress! Everyone at the shop were completely welcoming and very knowledgeable! I completely 100% recommend you shop with Bridal Connection at Stone Oak!!
Shelby was the best bridal consultant. I showed her some photos of my vision as well as my top contending dresses from other salons. She had the perfect dress, but it was backless- something I didn’t want. Shelby knew that they would be able to order extra lace and build a back for me when I came in for alterations. Nazzy did the alterations on my dress and it was absolutely the most stunning dress. Go see the ladies at Bridal Connection! Also, we are a same sex couple and our experience was that Bridal Connection is very affirming.
Loved the fact that they work with you to help your idol come to life!! Everything in h was fun and easy. No fuss!
I was so happy with my experience here! It was the third place I went to and immediately when I walked in the door, it felt different: more welcoming, more bridal, more fun. I actually went with the first dress I tried on!!
My experience at Bridal Connection was amazing! They were very patient with me while I tried on multiple beautiful dresses. My dress came in earlier than expected as well! I highly recommend visiting with them to find your wedding dress.
The Bridal Connection at Stone Oak had exactly what I was looking for! I was told by many other boutiques that the style I was wanting, would be hard to find. I contacted the Bridal Connection with my vision and they had exactly the dresses in mind. I had a wonderful experience and the entire staff was so sweet. So thankful for this sweet shop to help me find my dream dress!
Bridal connection helped me find my dream dress!! Everyone is so so helpful and friendly. My dress came in sooner than expected! I will definitely recommend to friends and family (:
First off, the experience was absolutely amazing! They make you feel very welcome and put your best interest first. I wasn’t sure on exactly what I wanted in my wedding dress, I was willing to try on anything. I had ideas but didn’t know. Angelita Sorensen help me out the entire process of finding the perfect dress, she knew how to help me with making a decision on whether I loved a dress or wasn’t really into one. Her willingness to help me and make me feel comfortable is why I fell in love with this place! I will definitely be recommending people to this bridal shop. Very welcoming and helpful!
The bridal connection at stone oak truly provided an amazing experience. I could not have asked for a better experience finding my wedding dress. My consultant, Shelby, was fantastic. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made sure I felt heard. They were so accommodating to my mom, my future mother in law, my bridesmaid, and me. Everyone we met was so nice and extremely helpful. I would recommend this salon to anyone and everyone.
Me and my bridal party had the best experience here! They were super attentive and picked up on what we were looking for in a brides gown. I found a perfect Cinderella gown that I always envisioned myself in!
I waited to go wedding dress shopping and didn't think that would be a problem. But Angelita let me know some dresses take 6-7 months to order. I came in with some numbers of dresses I liked and let her know I really wanted sleeves and more of a gown not mermaid style. She let me try on some of the dresses I picked out but she picked one that was sleeveless but could add sleeves and it was just gorgeous. This was my 3rd dress I tried on and WOW done! That is my dress. She is a miracle for helping me know what I would like and making it such a smooth process. She is getting the dressed ordered will be here in a week and we will have time for alterations. I highly recommend Bridal Connection!!! My wedding is March 12th. The date below is broke.
Look no further than Bridal Connection for your wedding dress. They have the most beautiful, quality dresses. Sophia did not disappoint in her attending to only my party and went out of her way to find me the perfect dress.
Fantastic experience! Very patient and blessed to have such an amazing time finding my DREAM dress!!
I booked a two hour private appointment which was sooo worth it! All attention on me and no back and forth between other brides. Angelita was amazing! I told her that I wanted to find a dress that had me in tears… She listened to what I wanted and found me a beautiful Morilee dress within my budget! I will recommend Bridal Connection every time!
I had the honor of having Angelitas assistance in finding the perfect wedding dress! This bridal boutique was extremely gorgeous and very intimate. She did not make me feel rushed, she was extremely helpful, and took in every "want" I was hoping for. I went from hoping to find my wedding dress, to finding my wedding dress, bridesmaid dress, maid of honors dress, matron of honors dress, flower girl dresses, and mother of the bride dress. Thank you for making me feel so special and helping check off so many items off of my check list! Thank you Bridal Connection 💖
Just said “yes to the dress” tonight with Bridal Connections & I cannot be more excited! My wedding is this December so I was cutting it a bit close to getting something in. But I never felt like I was rushed or that isn’t options were limited. I ended up finding the perfect dress!
It’s amazing how time just flies by, I feel like I was just there a couple months ago trying on dresses. I found this place from a friend recommendation and had an appointment back in February. This was my first ever experience at a bridal boutique and it did not disappoint. The staff was so amazing! And I felt they truly cared about what I wanted and was looking for. Always stuck within my budget and never felt pressured. I was mostly impressed with how spot on she was on my style when I described what I did and did not like. She knows her dresses and you can feel she wants nothing more than to find your perfect dress. I loved the experience here and can’t wait to put on my dress again!
I found this shop on Facebook and had an appoint in April. Going in I really didn't have any idea on a style I was looking for. The consultant Brenna was very helpful and found me my top choice! This was my first time looking so I didn't want to commit. I Just had my 2nd appointment to be sure that was still MY DRESS. The staff was amazing, very helpful, and I highly recommend it.
Highly recommend this place!! I was able to book an appointment ASAP. As soon as I arrived, there was already 5-6 dress picked out based off the details given over the phone. I LOVE that they carried dresses within my size so I could really see how I would look in it.
I met a rep of bridal connection back in January at my venues open house and I just knew after speaking to them I was going to find my dress here. So I waited until my sister came to town and booked a appt. I had such a great experience. My appt was at 1pm. Got there ten minutes early and my appt began right away. There was another bride and a guest there but they were on the opposite side of the boutique. Showed Angelita what I was interested in and she started pulling similar dresses in my size. After trying on two in that style, I think I became open to various options. She pulled three more in a different style and completely nailed it with the way it curved my body and made me feel. So excited for my future husband to see it! Thank you bridal connection💕
Everything about this shop made me happy! The staff is so sweet and helpful and listen to what you want! I was able to find my dress almost instantly and SUPER below my budget which made me love it even more! I am definitely referring all my friends and family here!
