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!
Angelita heard my vision and the very first dress she pulled for me ended up being the dress I chose!!! Had such a wonderful experience!!! I have my dream dress and it was way under budget which is even better!!! 😍😍😍
Bridal Connection found me the perfect dress for my wedding! I had told them what I was looking for in a dress and it was literally the first dress they put me in that won over my heart! Everybody commented on how gorgeous my dress was and I owe it all to Bridal Connection for listening to what I wanted and delivering!
I walked in without an appointment after having no luck at a different bridal boutique. Angelita was very delightful and made us feel welcomed as soon as we walked in through those front doors. She asked me what I was looking for and in less than 10 minutes she brought a couple of dresses for me to try on. Angelita absolutely nailed it on the FIRST dress that I happily said “YES” to. I am so thankful that we found this wonderful bridal boutique and were able to get seen on such short notice so close to their closing time. We found my dream dress in less than 30 minutes. I did not know how emotional and magical this moment would be, but I will cherish it forever. Ladies, if you are looking for your perfect bridal gown, I highly recommend this place.
I highly recommend this place! After a terrible experience at a different boutique. As soon as we walked in the boutique all of the staff were very welcoming! Made us feel very welcomed! We walked in an hour before closing but not once did we feel pressured. Angelita was who helped my sister with her dress. Let me tell you right now, she knows exactly what she's doing!! She nailed it with the first dress!!! It was perfect and everything my sister asked for!!! She had us all in tears of joy!!! Absolutely recommend this place!!!
I had high hopes when I decided to book a consultation with them. I even paid for a private appointment. When I arrived to the store I got there 5 minutes early to my appointment time. I wasn’t great friendly I was told to wait outside because they had a customer trying on one more dress. Me and my friends waited outside for 10 minutes after my appointment time. Store manger did not have a warm welcome but instead said go wash your hands and show me what dresses you are interested. I was bothered by that because I was being rushed and couldn’t take the time to set up my snacks. I asked her if there were anymore dresses I could try with the halter neck. She only brought me one to try and I really liked it so wanted to try some more. She then said we don’t have any dresses in your size. I was shocked because store advertised that they carry dresses for curvy women. She said she had one dress and it was a 12 and she would have to just pin it on me. Well I was able to actually put dress on. Manger then said she was surprised I could fit dress and said I guess it’s because you have a small waist. I was in love with the dress after all. As my appointment time was ending she started asking my cousin if she did modeling and would she model for them. That was so unprofessional because she did not finish with me, I was waiting patiently to ask questions regarding price, shipping time, etc and manger was busy now talking to one of my friends to schedule to come model with them. You should always take care of your customers first then handle your side business later. I was going to buy dress but just felt horrible how I was treated so my fiancé said go to another bridal salon. Bad customer service and not friendly for curvy brides
My experience at Bridal Connection at Stone Oak was fantastic! Angelita knew exactly what dresses to pull based off what I told her I was looking for. She had me try on one slightly out of the box, but knew I would love it and she was right! I had two other appointments with other shops, but no dress could compare to the one Angelita found me. Slight alterations and my dress will be one of a kind! I am so thankful for Angelita and the rest of the Bridal Connections team.
After a bad experience at another bridal store, I was hesitant to go here out of fear of being pressured by consultants again.. when I walked in the doors here, the feeling was extremely different. I walked in with my mother, roommate, and little sister to be welcomed in with open arms and open minds by the sweetest ladies I have ever met. They listened to what I had in mind and showed me some samples. After trying on a few, Angelita asked me if I would take a risk and try something out of my budget. She was confident that I would love it... AND BOY WAS SHE RIGHT. not only did I fall in love with the dress, but I knew that even though it wasn’t in budget I couldn’t see myself getting married in any other dress. They worked with me to put the dress on layaway so I would have time to pay it, and since I started it a month before they had a sale on the dress, they decided to give me the sale price... I can’t thank these wonderful ladies enough for making my dress dreams a reality. ❤️
I found the perfect dress! I tried on so many, but didn’t know what I wanted until Angelita figures it out. She heard all my thoughts and then found a dress that was perfect for me and made all of us cry. I cannot wait to see it after it comes in in my size. I’m so excited to wear my dress.
The staff at Bridal Connection was very helpful in helping me pick the right dress! They have a wonderful selection of dresses and at a great price point. I showed them a few pictures of the dresses I had in mind and they were able to go from there. I never felt rushed or like I couldn't speak my mind. When I would give feedback about a dress it was easy for them to either find other dresses or keep it in the running. The experience was so easy and fun and I would recommend Bridal Connection to anyone looking for a wedding dress.
Bridal Connection at Stone Oak was amazing!! Angelita was so knowledgeable in the dresses she had and was able to help me pick out my dream dress! I came in thinking I wanted one style but Angelita opened my eyes to all the amazing possibilities and I ended up leaving with a beautiful wedding gown that I would never of pictured myself in but I’m absolutely in love with it!! Thank you so much Bridal Connection at Stone Oak for helping me find my dream dress!!
I was very skeptical coming to shop because of the horrible experience I had at the boutique I went to earlier the same day. I was already in a bad mood and stressed because of the previous experience. When I walked in, my consultant greeted me so nicely and asked me to follow her so I could wash my hands and they offered my Aunt some hand sanitizer. She let me know that based on the information I had given them when I scheduled my appointment, they had already pulled some options but that I could try on anything I wanted. I wanted two different dresses but after trying on quite a few amazing dresses in my size that actually fit I felt like a bride and that my consultant actually cared about me so I let my walls down. She talked to me like we were old friends catching up and asked me questions about my wedding. I tried to tell her about the horrible experience I just had but she asked me to just take a breath and let that bad experience go and didn't say anything negative about the other shop and just focused on me. I ended up choosing the most perfect Randy Fenoli two in one dress. I am so looking forward my wedding now!!! I wish I could give this boutique 10 stars!!! I will definitely refer everyone I know that gets engaged not to waste their time going anywhere else!!
I felt totally respected walking through the process of trying on dresses. Angelita was very respective of my budget and helped me find and feel comfortable in my dress. She allowed me to try on several dresses till I was sure I had picked the right one. I did not feel rushed or pressured at all to buy a dress either. It felt like she was there for me.
I had the best experience picking out my dress. Angelita was incredible and helped me find the absolute perfect dress. I cannot be any happier with how smoothly the appointment went and actually how quickly I was able to find "the one".
Edit
Angelita and her staff went above and beyond to address my concern with me. I really appreciate the time and effort that they took to make sure my dress was perfect. I love my gown and I cant wait to wear it on Feb 15th! Thanks Bridal Connection!
Did I find the dress I was looking for? Yes, absolutely. I purchased a beautiful Nicole gown that was imported from Italy and I truly love it and can not wait to wear it on my wedding day. However, I am just disappointed in the customer service. My dress fits a very particular body type - and the seamstress was altering the dress in a way that completely changed the look of the gown (I have large, muscular thighs and it's supposed to be mermaid style, however, she kept wanting to bring out the seam of the sides). I had requested that Angelita be there on the day of my second fitting to tell the seamstress that the gown was not meant to be altered that way, and she agreed. I arrive for my second fitting, and Angelita was not there. The seamstress is extremely sweet but there is a language barrier, and when your brides are paying $2000, I would hope that you could be there for them.
Amazing team of consultants! Angelita was My consultant when I went to find my gown. I felt so comfortable and welcomed during my appointment. She pulled a variety of options (dresses I would have never considered!) and thanks to her talented eye for brides and gowns I found my dream gown! I cannot begin to express how amazing this shop is and their team. They were there every step of the way through alterations and had Rafaela, one of their own, go to the church on the day of my wedding to lace up my gown and make sure that it was perfect. I love them and appreciate all that they did to make sure that I looked stunning on my wedding day!
Experienced, knowledgeable professional
Let me say just how impressed I am with Angelita! She went out of her way to bring out a large number dresses for me to try on, trying to make sure that my experience was wonderful. It was not just about the sale but it was about finding out what I truly loved to make my wedding day special. She was able to tell me detailed information about each of the dresses. She was patient and very professional. Before I left, I felt joy and confidence to say yes to the dress! Thank you Bridal Connection and Angelita!
Angelita and Maxie helped me find the dress that I never knew I wanted. I feel beautiful, classy, romantic and so ready to marry the man of my dreams.
Maxie helped me for about 2 hours, trying on all the styles that I thought I wanted. I ended up placing two dresses on my favorites list and left. My MOH and I had the boutique all to ourselves and enjoyed the experience of pulling dresses.
I ended up going back to Bridal Connection because I couldn’t get my favorite dresses off my mind. When I arrived for the second time, Angelita spent a little over 3 hours with me, pulling dresses that were the style I liked and even different ones. She picked up right away on things that I didn’t even realize I liked like color and type of design. At the very end, Angelita went through the store dresses once more and found THE DRESS that I absolutely loved.
Neither Maxie or Angelita made me feel rushed or obligated to purchase anything. Other boutiques may have cute setups but Bridal Connection truly had sooooo many options and styles for any bride to choose from. And their service is amazing. You are always their top priority.
I can’t thank them enough for helping guide me through this process. I can’t wait to wear my dress (poison ivy) ☺️🥰
After looking for my wedding dress at serval stores I went to bridal connection just to look and make the appointment to try on dresses . I walked in and Angelita greet me she was very nice and welcoming. I showed her a picture of the type of dress I was looking for and she pulled out few dresses . After trying on 3 dresses the 3rd dress I knew that was it . She knew exactly what I was looking for and saw my vision . Angelita is a professional and knows what a bride needs ..I'm so happy I found my dress thank you bridal connection ..
Julia at the Bridal Connection made my bridal dress purchase experience wonderful. I was worried I would not find a dress that would suit me and my style but they had a beautiful variety to choose from. I was pleasantly surprised that when I got there Julia had already pulled dresses that fit my description and allowed me to view and choose any others I wanted to consider. I applaud the service and pressure free atmosphere and I am so excited to receive my dress. If you are looking for a dress consider this store as one of your must go to locations. Thank you ladies.
“We emailed our designer in Italy and they said they’d be willing to sketch the dress you imagine!”
This is what Angelita Sorenson said on the phone after I told them I LIKED the dress but wanted alterations.
This phone call began a 6 month journey of establishing a client-customer relationship with Angelita and Rafaela. They were there every step of the way interacting back and forth with me and the representative for the Nicole Milano line, for which they are an exclusive retailer in San Antonio. Not to brag but it must be said so the full effect of this shops dedication is understood, my dress and veil are one of a kind, custom fitted to my body and designed to my specifications. The dress and veil are now named “Celeste” after myself and will not ever be reproduced the exact same way. What else can a bride dream of?
Their dedication to their clients was so visible that I trusted them and order my wedding dress off a sketch and waited 6 months for it. Once I tried it on I realized it was definitely the dress for which I had been waiting.
I then hosted my bridesmaid proposal at Bridal Connection, where Angelita and Ralf had a bunch of bridesmaids dresses ready for them to try on. All my bridesmaids wore different styles of Mori Lee dresses, there’s a stigma that bridesmaids usually hate their dress but mine ALL LOVED their dress.
The entire Bridal Connection staff attended my wedding, Angelita arrived early (to my great fortune) and helped me get dressed for my wedding dress, was there after the ceremony to bustle my dress and even help me use the restroom. These ladies are the real deal. They love their customers, their brides, their bridesmaids and all of the employees LOVE working there.
Bridal Connection is where I’ll send every woman who asks me where to shop for the wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses.
I meet with Angelita today to try on a few gowns I noticed at a Bridal event as well on line. My visit with Angelita was more than expected. She was prompt and had my gown already available for me to try on. She even went above and beyond to pull a few dresses she felt I may like based off my choices for review. She was super professional and had such a warm disposition. I ended up saying “Yes to the dress”........and it wasn’t even the one I thought I wanted from the bridal show. It was a beautiful dress that Angelita picked out and she truly was on point. I highly recommend Bridal Connection at Stone Oak. Thank you so much Angelita.
Bridal Connections was like an answered prayer! I went to 3 other shops before coming here and I definitely felt the most comfortable here! Angelita was extremely knowledgeable of all their dresses and she picked out the perfect dress for me! She knew exactly what I would like with my tiny idea of what I described to her. They also do wonderful things that you can’t find in most boutiques - they sell their dresses at the minimum price possible and they order your dress the moment you pay for it so you can get it as soon as possible. You will NOT regret coming here to find your dream wedding dress!
Came to this store with low expectations and was BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER!!! Sweetest staff who remembered my name everytime i came in!! BEST SEAMSTRESS EVER!!! JENNY IS A SEWING GODDESS!!! I lost 20lbs from my forst fitting to my last and my dress fit like a dream!!!
This store only led to disappointment. I went into this store knowing I wanted a dress that had sleeves. The fit and style was flexible but sleeves were necessary. When I chose "my dress" here it didn't fit exactly what I was looking for because the sleeves were short but I was told that with alterations, I would have long sleeves that matched well. I trusted Angelita's recommendation that with alterations the long sleeves would look flawless as if they belonged and that the back of the dress would have a removable panel to wear during the ceremony. I had to order lace appliques and material from the company, so we did. I was told these lace appliques would be the same lace as the existing sleeves to make it look seamless...
Fast forward a few months, I went to alterations and Jenny, the seamstress, was going to do everything in pieces. First, we had the hem and waist altered. I was reassured again that the sleeves would look good.
A few weeks after, the sleeves are being made and I have an appointment to see them before the sleeves are sewned on. It looked HIDEOUS. There was no way I was going to wear that dress down the aisle. The lace appliques did not match AT ALL. The lace was actually the same lace as the hem and very different from the lace on the top of the dress. Bridal Connection was at fault because they ordered the lace from the dress company. They should've known to order the exact lace that matched the top of the dress. Instead of taking responsibility, I was told the lace was supposed to be cut up in little pieces and that was why it wasn't matching. This was a little over a month until my wedding day... A week later, the seamstress couldn't make the back panel because the fabric that ANGELITA ordered herself, was not stretchy or giving at all and therefore, not meant to be put in that location. This was all Angelitas fault. She was the one who told me the sleeves would match perfectly when she was not the seamstress that was going to be doing the work and she ordered the wrong lace.
I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to shop here. The store appearance is subpar and there is no customer service when something goes wrong even if it is their own fault.
My mom and I went dress shopping today just for fun with the thought of trying on a few dresses just to see what I liked, and I ended up finding the dress I will marry my best friend in! Angelita at the Bridal Connection Stone Oak was AMAZING, found me dresses in, but not above, my price range, and helped me find dresses she knew I would look good and feel confident in. I'm a bit on the heavier side so that was a huge thing for me, she helped me feel beautiful and confident in every dress I tried on. My dress is gorgeous and I would strongly recommend the Bridal Connection to any other brides to be <3
I had a great experience shopping for my dress at Bridal Connection. Trisean was my consultant and she was kind, funny, and so helpful! I ordered my dress at the end of January and it came in mid-May (I'm sure this varies by designer, my gown is Rebecca Ingram by Maggie Sottero). The selection of gowns is affordable, with many options under $1000. One thing I do wish this shop did differently is offer in-house alterations. They work with an independent seamstress who they recommend, but unfortunately I did not have a good experience with her. For example, the bust of my dress was WAY too big and she kept telling me to buy stick-on cups, when what really needed to happen was taking the bust in and sewing in cups. I walked away from my first fitting feeling so upset and defeated. Ultimately, I made the decision to get my alterations done elsewhere, where I had to pay almost the cost of my dress since I had bought my dress elsewhere. To be fair, Bridal Connection was up-front about the fact that they do not provide alterations in-house, but I think making that change could take an already great shop to being the best in town!
I honestly had a terrible experience myself. Maybe another bride to be will have a better experience. But for now, I'd say I wouldn't recommend ordering your dress from this bridal store.
This was the best shop ever! I went in not wanting to spend a dollar more than 1300. They found me my dream dress for a little over 800. It was beautiful, everything I wanted, and I never ever thought I would find that in my budget. Other shops told me I should try second hand dresses because my budget was too low. This shop did not make me feel bad, they didnt bat and eye, they listened to what I wanted and my budget called me with ideas and pictures on facebook and I fell in love with the Olivia dress (I think?) A beautiful (ballgown?) with tulle and lace flowers and a beautiful keyhole back. I got compliments from everyone that saw me in it and people would say "wow, that dress is beautiful, I bet that cost a lot" and nope it was right in my price range! My only recommendation is get your veil somewhere else, you can get it online for cheap and its only worn for the ceremony anyways.
I'm so glad I made an appointment here! Maxie was amazing and so knowledgeable. She pulled the perfect dress! I will be ordering it tomorrow! So impressed with the service she provided my family and I. I will definitely be recommending with bridal boutique to everyone who's searching her a wedding dress! Thank you Maxie!
Great service and attentiveness. I felt very important when trying on my dresses and Trisean educated me on dresses and comfort in the dress. She made me and my family feel at ease with being ourselves. She opened the store before our appointment time, allowed us to look around and feel at home. I was pleased with the selection of dresses and the quality of the styles. Nice size changing rooms and show room areas. Still trying on dresses, but want to go back for t
