Susan, Michelle, and the entire team at Bridal Couture of Birmingham were the BEST to work with for my wedding dress. I went to 10 stores and ultimately found my gown at BCB. They had a gorgeous selection of designers at a great range of prices. They worked with me to provide customizations to make my dress look and feel perfect. They made me feel comfortable and like my wedding and dress were the most important thing to them in that moment. Scheduling fittings was easy and they made every attempt to accommodate my schedule and communicate with me in advance. I ended up needing 5 fittings to make my dress perfect, and I'm so grateful that they were there to support me. Thank you, BCB team! You're the best!
Nancy was such a doll to work with. She really helped me feel beautiful and special throughout the the dress shopping and fitting process. It's a little expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for, and now I have those memories forever. I would 100% recommend looking for your wedding gown at bridal couture.
I really can’t say enough good things about this place! Unfortunately I had gained some weight during Covid and I was so distraught about it especially with the alterations that were coming up. But the staff here made me feel so special and told me not to worry and my dress turned out absolutely beautiful and fatter than what I thought it would be!
After having an amazing experience as a MOH with Bridal Couture for my sister’s bridal gown and our bridesmaids dresses, as well as a very close friend, I knew I’d be going to Bridal Couture for my own bridal experience. From the incredible selection of gowns to the staff there, I couldn’t have imagined a better experience. Amy and her team go above and beyond to treat you like family and make sure your experience is everything you want. From the first shopping experience to the final pick up, they exceed every expectation and then some. I recommend this shop to every bride I come across. 12/10 ⭐️
I literally can't sing their praises enough at Bridal Couture. From the moment I walked in, I knew that I had walked into the right place. They were always so helpful and caring through the process of buying and altering my dress. Nan made me feel extremely comfortable and confident through the try-on process and helped me pick out dresses that were what I was envisioning in my head. Amy was always attentive whenever I came in or called through the process and always had any answers I needed readily available. Alterations came out perfect and the dress looked perfect on my wedding day. I received so many compliments on my dress on the day of and since then. I am so glad that I had Bridal Couture beside me through the whole process. I would highly recommend this shop to everyone.
Bridal Couture helped me through the process of finding the perfect dress and made it a very enjoyable experience. I was guided through all the dress types that I wanted (which were quickly discarded) and Amy helped me find an amazing dress that was perfect for my body type. It was almost like it was made for me. The team then helped me through the hiccups that came from covid and helped with multiple fittings as my reception got postponed.
I can’t speak highly enough of this store and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
Amy and Nan were so enjoyable to work with! They truly care and really know their dresses. They quickly figured out what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect wedding dress and jumpsuit for an outfit change. Out of all the bridal shops I visited, Bridal Couture offered the best selection of designer dresses and the best service. Their seamstress was talented, and I was very happy with the fit of my dress and alterations. We also got the bridesmaids dresses here. It was quick and easy, and everyone looked great.
I had a terrific experience at Bridal Couture. It was very personalized and they were able to order my dress in time for my wedding which occurred in less than 6 months.
Very kind and helpful employees! I tried on and loved my one on one appointment time, then called back a couple weeks later to purchase. There was no pressure to buy on the spot (as I experienced other places), and they helped me get my dream dress even in a pandemic! I loved my Lazaro gown and Bridal Couture definitely delivered!
I had the best experience here! Amy and her staff made this process so easy and pain free, even through a pandemic! Amy reached out and made sure I was taken care of throughout the process and even making sure all my alterations got taken care of a good amount of time before my date in case things were to close up again. I will always highly recommend any bride to be to go here.
Nan was so fun to work with. She helped my find my dream dress! The owner, Amy was so nice as well. She wouldn't let me leave the salon until my dress looked perfect.
I absolutely loved with Bridal Couture! The entire team there really made the dress searching experience fun and easy. And after I found my gown, they helped me jump hoops to get my dress to me while I was moving around. One of the awesome ladies there even gave up her shoes to borrow the day I bought my gown so we could get an accurate hem measurement! I am so thankful for their professionalism, helpfulness and punctuality!
As a bride, one of the most important things is the dress, of course behind who the bride is marrying. This is the stable item at a wedding that everyone looks at and notices about the bride. I had no idea what type of dress I wanted – I just knew it had to have some sparkle. I had set up 10-15 appointments with different salons, however, I only needed one. Bridal Couture of Birmingham is an amazing bridal dress shop. They have a variety of dresses for every style, shape, and size. The customer service you receive is like no other. I am a bride with some curves and was actually dreading dress shopping. However, from the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel flawless. They were always reminding me of how beautiful I am. I remember crying after picking out my dress because at that moment, I felt happy and strong and pretty. And I am so thankful for Bridal Couture and their staff for helping me find my stunning dress and for always reminding me that I am beautiful, even when I didn’t always believe it. That was one of the key reasons I loved this wedding salon – because of how they make you feel. They make you feel on top of the world when I was there trying on my dress – every time – and that is how every bride should feel. I was lucky enough to find a dress through the Hayley Paige trunk show – I did not know what a trunk show was until I was there. Basically, designers send more dresses to the shop. These dresses are only there for a few days and they have some specials going as well. I feel in love with my dress – and I received so many compliments. I also want you to know how invested the staff is. I could really tell they enjoy their job and it makes them happy to make brides happy. I had many appointments from picking out the dress to picking up the dress. Each time I left the shop, I left smiling from ear to ear. They do a wonderful job at making sure your dress is absolutely flawless for your wedding. They did all my alterations as well as steaming the dress right before I picked it up. The owner, Amy, was always making sure it looked perfect. She would study the dress and pick out the smallest imperfections (that most of the time I didn’t even see) and made sure they were fixed. You can find beautiful wedding dresses everywhere, but what you can’t find is the service that Bridal Couture gives you. That is the reason every bride should go visit Bridal Couture of Birmingham. They made me one gorgeous, happy bride and I am beyond thankful for that!
After multiple failed attempts to find a bridesmaid dress for my best friend, we ended up here. The consultants were so easy to work with and made sure my best friend felt beautiful no matter what dress she tried on. I wish all my girls bought their dresses here!
I went to the Plymouth location and they were nothing short of amazing. I went looking during the National Bridal Sale Event and Carol helped me find a dress that was 100% me. I went to look at one other place after just to see what was out there and I immediately turned around and came back to Bridal Couture. They helped me find a sash to add that wasn't over the top. My bridesmaids came to get their dresses there and Jacqueline was such help. I went back later to get a dress for my cousin's wedding and she spent so much time trying to find a dress for me that would fit my personality. I highly recommend them!
I cannot say enough positive things about this shop. To start with, the staff is incredible. I loved every woman I worked with, especially the owner Amy. With the recent passing of my mother, they welcomed us with open arms and treated us like family, and made an otherwise emotional and overwhelming day one we all enjoyed. Everyone on staff is incredibly professional and respectful, and any concerns about budget, body type, sensitive family issues, scheduling, etc. were handled with grace. They listen to what YOU want and collectively offer an incredible background of knowledge in wedding gown design, fabric, fit, alterations, designers, budget options, etc. to make sure you end up in the perfect dress. They know their inventory and designers like the back of their hand, are realistic on what can and can't be done to a dress or within a budget, and never push their own opinions or agendas on you. The dress selection may not be huge, but I loved the quality > quantity approach that they take when selecting their inventory, as well as not feeling completely overwhelmed when trying to make my selections. I was able to get my dress at an extremely discounted price by taking home a sample size dress from a trunk show (which they host regularly), and only having to worry about minor alterations. While they do offer a ton of beautiful veils, accessories, and jewelry, they let me bring in my mom's old wedding dress and we worked together to design a stunning custom veil made with part of her dress that perfectly complemented my dress and personal style. They also worked together to design a different bustle that would keep my dress protected, while still looking beautiful and keeping me comfortable all night. From start to finish, my experience with Bridal Couture was amazing. I am so thankful to have found them and recommend them to any bride in the area!
I loved my dress from here, and it fit great with the alterations they made. I seriously got so many compliments. I was an out of state bride so I was worried about the fittings. They said they could work it out with me and had a lot of experience with that. However, this really depended on who you caught in the store or on the phone that day. I got really nervous at one point and thought I was basically going to have to fly across the country for a fitting (even after being really clear about when I was going to be in town) when one of the seamstresses said I had to follow a certain fitting schedule. However, I talked to someone else and got it all cleared up, everything was perfect in the end but talk about a stressful moment.
Just bought my gown from here and I had the BEST experience. Amy the owner is amazing, she gives the best recommendations for how to look your best. Nan, Nancy, and Carrie were also so sweet and helpful and always made it feel like I was their top priority. Can’t wait to come back for my fittings!
I highly recommend this place for your wedding needs. The owner and her staff were extremely attentive and helpful in helping me find my dream dress! I visited over a dozen places previously and even left one place in tears because their staff were so pushy and extremely aggressive in wanting me to purchase one of their dresses.
Amy (the owner) and her staff at Bridal Couture of Birmingham were phenomenal! They did a great job at the alterations, helping me pick our under-dress wear and accessories, and steaming and getting the dress ready for the day of the wedding. I was very impressed with the professionalism and attentiveness!
I had a wonderful experience with this Bridal Salon! Each time I went in I felt so special and beautiful. I would highly recommend this location.
Nancy was amazing! And I had so much fun! Even after I found my dress my family kept wanting me to try on different styles and Nancy played along with them. Nancy told me what I needed to hear and even got me to try on a style I didn’t think I’d like (I did but my heart was already sold on another one). I would definitely recommend to anyone! Amy was also great and I had a great time trying on dresses and ready to tackle the rest of wedding planning now’
The Bridal Couture of Birmingham was the only bridal salon that I went to when looking for dresses. They were very accommodating to me and my 5 guests. When it came down to looking for the dress the consultant pulled me aside and asked me what I wanted to look like for the wedding. We pulled various styles and I ended up choosing the third dress I tried on. I ended up purchasing not only my dress from here, but also my veil and bridesmaids dresses. The bridesmaids received a discount because I purchased my dress from the salon. Highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for high quality service at reasonable prices.
I can't say enough good things about this bridal salon! After having a bad experience at a few other places in the area, I was so pleasantly surprised with Bridal Couture. The store is small but has a great selection of wedding dresses. Sarah is an awesome consultant that knew exactly what I was looking for and was conscious of my budget. The owner, Amy, is so nice and is accommodating. She is helping make sure my bridal party and mom have exactly what they want for their dresses as well. I definitely would recommend this store to any bride!
I can't say enough good things about Amy, the owner, and the alterations department! I tried on dresses at multiple bridal salons in different cities, and I had an amazing experience with Amy at Bridal Couture! I ended up trying on my dress at another store, but ordered it from Bridal Couture. Amy also helped me select a custom length veil that I was super happy with! I was a little indecisive during the bridal gown process, and she really helped guide me and put me at ease. I felt like she got to know my personality and vision for the day and I knew I was in good hands at all times. The alterations department did a fabulous job shortening my train and making adjustment to the lining and stitching of my dress. Their prices are very competitive and I felt that every penny I spent on alterations was well worth it! I felt beautiful on my wedding day and am very grateful to Amy and the Bridal Couture team!
Bridal Couture of Birmingham has a large selection of dresses and a very knowledgeable staff! They work with you from start to finish, ensuring that you walk down the aisle in the dress of your dreams!
My best friend and I both got our dresses here. It's a beautiful shop with beautiful dresses. The first place and the only place I tried dresses on. Amy is amazing.
I had a very bad experience at Bridal Couture of Birmingham. First of all, I walked in for an appointment and the staff did not even greet me. They simply handed me a form and then continued their conversation with each other. That should have been my first red flag. The consultant did not listen to what I wanted and honestly lacked social graces. I am a regular clothes size 8/10. She couldn't stop telling me how bridal dresses weren't going to fit me and actually asked (in front of everyone) if I'd like one of my bridesmaids to try the dresses on for me since they would "fit her body better"- as if that would help me decide what looked best on my body. It was humiliating! She then continued to make comments like that about me in front of my friends and family and showed me dress after dress that had qualities that I flat out stated I did not care for. Ironically enough, I found exactly what I was looking for at a bridal salon down the street, so I guess bridal dresses do come with the features I wanted and can actually fit me!
Bridal Couture had a great dress selection and fair pricing. I LOVE my Eddy K dress and received a ton of compliments on it. I also did my alterations here which were done in a timely fashion and reasonably priced.
The shop had a lot of dresses to choose from and specifically had the designer I was looking for which is how I ended up there. Overall the service was good. There were times that I felt pressured into decisions I knew I wasn't comfortable but with but after expressing my concern they worked with me. Some of the women are not the friendliest but I looked past that because I was so in love with my dress. Everything was done in a timely manner and my dress turned out beautiful!
Couldn't have chosen a better place to purchase my wedding gown! All of the staff is very helpful and mindful of your budget and likes/dislikes! Alterations went smoothly and my dress was beautiful on my wedding day! Always so easy to work with and would highly recommend. I wish I could get married again just to purchase another gown here! :)
I was delighted with my shopping expierence at Bridal Couture when shopping for my wedding gown. I wanted something with long sleeves, elegant yet sophisticated without lace and jewel stones. The staff was very congenial and easy to work with. At my final fitting one of the staff members suggested adding a belt with faux jewels for a little sparkle. That was the finishing touch. It has been five months and I am still receiving compliments on my dress. I would definitely recommend Bridal Couture. I can't say enough about the warm and friendly staff.
The Bridal Couture of Plymouth – what an amazing and wonderful experience! From the initial call to make an appointment to come in to the final pick up of my gown. Amazing! The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and so sincere! Thank you all so very much!

We had a wonderful experience at Bridal Couture. We were treated so kindly and we felt so very welcome here. Everyone who assisted us, including the owner of the store, were so very personable, helpful, and a joy to be around; however, they did not rush us or pressure us to make a purchase. The dresses were all so beautiful and so unique. Ultimately, we said "yes!" to the dress of my daughter's dreams here!
I had a wonderful experience purchasing my wedding gown from Bridal Couture. I had made appointments at a few different stores, and Bridal Couture was by far the most enjoyable experience I had trying on gowns. Once I said "yes to the dress," I especially appreciated how easy it was to schedule fittings as an out of town bride.
Fantastic service. They always made me feel like a princess at each fitting. They did an amazing job on my dress and the ladies felt like family by the time my wedding came along
I moved to Michigan from NYC and was scrambling to find somewhere to alter my dress (since I bought it in NYC). Bridal Couture agreed to take me on even though I did not buy the dress there and was beyond gracious through out the entire process. They even tried to help me negotiate some unfair alteration fees I had already paid in NYC. Mary, who altered my dress, had a very tough job since my dress had so much beading and I am so petite so it basically didn't fit me at all to begin with. However, she got everything ABSOLUTELY perfect! Would HIGHLY recommend Bridal Couture - IMPECCABLE service & they do a terrific job! They go above and beyond for you - truly!
The staff is amazing and helped me find the perfect dress it was a great experience!!!
So great, finally somewhere where I was shown the most perfect dresses and made to feel so welcome. Such a great selection of dresses, wonderful staff and fantastic fitting service, thank you!! I LOVED both my dress and my beautiful veil
I am so happy that I chose to purchase my dress at Bridal Couture! Starting with my first appointment trying on dresses up to the day that I brought my dress home, I truly had a wonderful experience with them. The employees went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. They have a large selection of high quality dresses that work with brides' different tastes, body types and budgets. They offer in store alterations and the seamstresses made certain that I was completely satisfied with the way my dress fit. I really appreciate how they made the whole process completely stress free. My bridesmaids were also able to purchase their dresses here, and we loved their large selection for them as well! I would definitely recommend Bridal Couture to any of my newly engaged friends, I know you'll love your experience just as much as I did!!
When searching for a non-traditional wedding dress, that has a splash of color and all of the elegance of a traditional gown, I cannot suggest Bridal Couture of Birmingham enough. I had searched high and low, for something that was as unique as the experience of getting married. Something everyone would remember, not just my husband. I didn't expect to find such an amazing, one of a kind dress at this location, but I did. And of all of the bridal shops in the area, this was the first I wasn't just going to have to 'settle' with.
Everyone at this location, from the owner, to the seamstresses, was wonderful to work with. The dress itself was incredibly affordable, and the alterations were reasonable to boot. I found it wonderfully fulfilling discussing dress alterations with the seamstresses, and taking in their feedback and suggestions on other attire to pair with the dress. Being the experts they are, they helped me pull off my best look for my wedding, and provided me with a dress to remember!
I couldn't be more proud & grateful of the final product, and the effect it had on my wedding guests. I'll forever have the best memories and photographs of how it surprised my husband, and how it made my day as perfect as could be.
Go to Bridal Couture with an open mind, and prepare to have your mind blown, as your perfect day will have gotten even better!
Thanks so much Amy + Michelle!
I actually found my dress at another bridal gown store but the service was horrible. I called the Bridal Couture to see if they had the dress I found, they didn't but they told me they could order it. From the moment I stepped foot into the store, I was treated with great customer service! I ordered all my bridesmaid dresses from them too. Great people work here and I truly am grateful for all their help and advice.
I have been shopping at 4 other bridal stores. This is the first one that has treated me so special and was so
Patient with me. I was getting so confused going to so many stores. The woman that helped me choose my gown took the time to go over what I liked. I found my beautiful gown. So thankful for bridal couture. It was the BEST!
I agree with the other reviews that discussed the cold, judgmental staff. The staff member who helped me made me feel stupid and rushed. It's difficult having multiple dresses and trying to remember which are available to order, in what colors, etc. And the staff member made me legitimately feel stupid with her cold harsh comments like "I already told you ....(this dress doesn't come in ivory)" or something along those lines. Immediately upon walking in, I did not feel welcomed. I felt out of place. Do not waste your time.
I cannot say enough positive things about Bridal Couture! I purchased my dress from their Birmingham store and fell in love with it immediately. The staff were very gracious and helpful, still indulged me while I tried on a few other dresses, then the one I picked again - to make sure it really was THE dress. My appointment was in the middle of the day during the week, so it was quiet in the store and both of the staff members there were able to give their thoughts and really help guide me. I'm far from a size 2, but was pleasantly surprised when I found a size 14 on the rack. This gave me a great idea of how it would look on and then alterations that would be needed. I walked away with a huge smile on my face after such a happy experience finding THE dress!
Speaking of alterations...WOW. Their alterations girl (Michelle) is AMAZING. I had a few concerns with buckling around the straps and she came up with some suggestions that fixed exactly what I was worried about so I wouldn't be self conscious on our big day. She also came up with some creative ideas for how I could incorporate my "something old" into the dress and it worked perfect. I live out of town so she worked quickly and was able to get the alterations done (and done well) in two fittings so when I left after the second fitting, I knew my dress was going to fit perfectly on our wedding day.
I was a lucky bride and got to wear my dress twice - once to our actual ceremony and then again to a reception in my home town. EVERY SINGLE PERSON commented on how perfect the dress was and how amazing it looked on me. I know, I was the bride, but I think they were right!! It was an absolutely gorgeous dress, purchased in a fabulous store with friendly and helpful people. I would not hesitate to recommend this store to anyone - in town or out of town!
If I could have given zero stars I would have. This was an absolutely terrible experience. From the start walking in the sales associates were cold and judgmental. The sales associate that was working with me for my appointment was one of the rudest people I have ever met. She made several comments about my weight saying that I was too large for most of their dresses. Mind you im 5'3 and 150 pounds. Yes I realize Im not a size 0 but I was insulted. Even if that is the case, you DO NOT comment on a woman's weight. And when i tried on dresses, they fit. What a weird concept. She asked me about my budget. I told her I would like to stay around $5000. She scoffed when I told her my budget (Even though several of their dresses were under this price point.) My mom was talking to me about my wedding and the sales associate demanded my mother quit talking to me because I wasn't "focused" like I had to be. The whole time I was at my appointment, the sales associate made me feel like i was an inconvenience to her day. She made me feel like I was no where near good enough to step foot in that shop. Even if I would have liked a dress there I would have never given them my business. If you are looking to feel beautiful and have a positive experience, take your business literally anywhere else. I am extremely disappointed and will be passing my experience along with several others I know looking for wedding gowns.
I would give them more than a 5 star rating, but the website won't allow it.
The whole experience start to finish was painless. Mary was super helpful and offered me suggestions on how to make my dream dress come to life since I had no vision or idea of what I wanted.
My mom was also running an hour or two late since her flight in had been delayed and they told me to sit back and relax until she got there (even though they were busy).
I couldn't have been happier! I highly recommend this place to any bride looking for a beautiful, one of a kind dress you won't find anywhere else!
Horrible experience is the only way to describe my experience at Bridal Couture of Birmingham. While Bridal Couture does have a good selection of dresses, their staff was rude, condescending, abrasive, pushy, and bossy. The sales associate had the audacity to lecture me on having gone to too many salons in what I can only assume was an attempt to pressure me to buy one of their dresses which I was not prepared to. Throughout my e experience I felt like a child being scolded rather than a bride to be selecting the perfect dress for such a special day. I actually found a dress here that I really loved but given how poorly I was treated I decided to go elsewhere and I am so glad I did.
Worst. Experience. Ever. And I didn't even try on dresses! My mom and I stopped as we were passing by to look at their selection. We had been to their novi store and heard they had more. We were greeted with crosses arms and judgmental faces. They didn't ask about myself or my wedding and basically told me a dress I was looking at wouldn't look good on me. It's a bummer that they really fit that Birmingham stereotype. It was clear they were counting my wallet- too bad they miss counted. They missed out on an, easily, $10,000 sale. In my opinion, I would never give that business my money when there are much better ones around.
They had a great selection of dresses and really tried to help you find something that suited you. The seamstresses seemed really dedicated to making your dress perfect.
I've had a few friends have good experiences here, but I did not. The woman who was "helping" me was very dry. This was the first place I went shopping at & had every intention of finding something (I'd looked up the designers, had print outs of what I liked, etc). When I got there, I asked the woman what she thought I would look best in. She responded, "You're tall and thin. Anything will look fine on you so it doesn't matter." It wasn't in a tone of voice that was complimentary - she sounded irritated that I asked. She told me to just go look throughout the aisles. It made me less excited about the dress shopping. My maid of honor lives in NYC & called here to ask if she could have some champagne or something for us as a surprise for me, but they told her no because they don't allow drinks. It's not a big deal, but at the next store we went to, I bought a dress, popped champagne, and had a really fun experience. This store has some beautiful dresses & I'm sure some helpful employees, but it certainly wasn't set up for an exciting or personable experience.
they were wonderful. I found my dream dress, which turned out to be the exact opposite of what I was looking for. All of the women, from the owner to the sales professionals to the seamstresses, we're so helpful, warm and professional. My dress and veil were gorgeous and fit perfectly and my mother's dress was spectacular. The seamstress even made my mom a jacket for it. If I could do it all again, I would. I loved working with them. and looked forward to every visit. Thank you.
Bridal Couture of Birmingham provided me with a wonderful experience as a bride. I went in with my family for the first appointment to try on dresses and they were so accommodating, friendly, and non-pushy. They gave honest opinions and stayed back when my family and I were talking. I bought my dress, headband, veil, belt and bra from them. Everything came in well within the time frame they gave me and came in correctly and without mistakes. They helped me order the right size so minimal alterations (for a wedding gown) were needed. The alterations department was amazing and accommodating. They allowed my mom to nitpick things and were always willing to provide suggestions. They even sowed and embroidered a piece of my mother's wedding gown on the inside of my gown. Overall, a wonderful and pleasant experience. Stress free which is much needed when planning a wedding!
I was in town visiting family after my engagement and made an appointment at Bridal Couture of Birmingham. I was lucky enough to have Sarah work with me on selecting my gown and providing input on what the best type of dress was for me. She was incredibly patient, knowledgable and calming as I tried on several different dresses and styles.
Once we narrowed it down and were discussing with my family, Amy, the owner also provided her thoughts on the best dress for me and how I could style it with the PERFECT veil and jewelry. At the end of the day, we found the PERFECT dress, my moms were in tears and I cannot wait to wear it!!
Thank you to everyone at Bridal Couture for your professionalism and caring while I found my dress!!
I had the best experience at this store! They had a great variety of wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses! The staff was very professional and welcoming. My orders were timely. The entire experience was very smooth and I would highly recommend this bridal store!
EXCELLENT!! I loved this place and my gorgeous Lazaro gown. Amy, the owner, was a joy to work with as well as the other staff. I also picked my bridesmaid dresses from this location and they looked beautiful as well. Nothing but excellent things to say about this place. Highly highly recommend! :)
Bridal Couture has a great selection, with gowns at a wide range of price points. Gorgeous gowns here. Unfortunately, once I fell in love, I wish I had purchased elsewhere. They fitted me in the waiting room of the salon in front of several other women. Usually I wouldn't mind, but when I asked about a different size the woman yanked up my shirt, and squeezed the tape measure tightly around my waist in order to "demonstrate" what the smaller size would feel like. They ended up suggesting a size 6. I (with hesitancy) ordered a size 4, and it was incredibly large on me. I had a great tailor, but if you order a couture dress to size, its unfortunate to have to take it down 2 sizes. The woman who sold me the dress also made a comment to another coworker about how we'd have to put some "really good cup inserts on this chick." Harsh. I love my gown and am grateful there's a Lazaro retailer near me, but this is not the place to purchase.
I had my aunt pick my dress up the day before the wedding. I got a phone call from Bridal Couture to give verbal confirmation for her to pick it up- I was very pleased with this!! My sister got her dress from Bridal Couture, so it wasn't a question that I would do the same! We love the staff- they made us feel welcome (and beautiful) with every fitting. The dress was stunning and was part of making our day perfect!
Bought my Pronovias gown from this boutique. They were very nice and helpful. Little bit pricer than other places. Overall a good experience. Their alternations are good quality.
I went to a few other bridal stores and none of them came close to providing me with the amazing service I received from the whole staff at Bridal Couture. Everything was very calming and had a posh look to it. I feel like I tried on everything in the store and loved it all, but truly fell in love with my dress by Jim Helm Blush. The consultants and seamstresses worked with me to add special touches that really made my dress unique. I wish more than anything I could wear it over and over!! I would 100% recommend Bridal Couture. Thanks ladies!!
To be fair, I did not have an appointment. I had travelled far (live 5 hours away) to be with my family and look at dresses. I looked at other boutiques earlier that day and was slowly making my way to end up at the Somerset mall for some retail therapy. Since we were in the area, I thought we'd check out a couple more places. I found Bridal Couture of Birmingham through the Knot, called three times, but no one ever answered. From what I could see the placed looked very nice, clean, and organized.
As soon as I said I didn't have an appointment the red-headed lady looked me up and down, told me they were completely booked and asked me to come a different day. I understand they were busy and I should have scheduled an appointment ahead of time, but she should have spoken to me in a more professional manner. She proceeded to tell me I could come back next week (still looking at me up and down) even though I had told her I didn't live anywhere near the area. I did not feel that she was sincere, and I didn't appreciate the time I wasted when I could have gone somewhere else.
If you want to spend your day with people who think they are better than you, then this place is perfect.
