My experience at bride. was amazing! I knew the moment I walked into this cute bridal salon that I was going to find a dress. The shop is a perfect place for modern, contemporary bridal dresses. I had such a fun experience dress shopping and ha...
d a huge help in picking out my dress with Rachel. I would recommend bride. to anyone looking for a stylish and unique dress shopping experience!
I was recommended to go to bride. by a friend to find my wedding dress. They were extremely helpful prior to going, asking for photos of what I like and what I see myself in. The appointment was fabulous! Laura was the one that actually found t...
he dress I ended up purchasing. The process was easy and seamless and I was able to find my perfect dress after only trying on 8 dresses. Still so happy with my choice and am thankful to the wonderful gals at bride!
In June, I purchased a wedding dress from Bride. I paid $3554.09, which included a $200 rush charge and $60 shipping charge for a $2950.00 wedding dress made by Sarah Seven. The rush charges were incurred because my wedding is on 9/11/21, and I...
needed my dress by the end of July 2021 to ensure adequate time for routine alterations prior to the wedding. My measurements were taken, and the dress shop recorded that I did not need extra length in writing. I chose this dress based on trying on a sample of the same dress in the shop.
I became uneasy when I was informed that FedEx had lost my dress on 7/22, after shipment on 7/15. My dress finally arrived the evening of 7/26, eight days after the 7/18 date I was originally given.
I immediately took the dress to my seamstress, who was recommended by friends in the area. She informed me that it could not be altered, because the bodice had been cut so short that it did not even cover my breasts. This was only a height issue. The seamstress’ only solution was that material could be taken from the hem and added below the waistline, creating a “belt” to increase the length of the bodice, but this would ruin the look of the dress and be cost- and time-prohibitive. She was also working with a bride with the same problem from Sarah Seven!
I immediately contacted Bride, showing side-by-side pictures of me in the sample at Bride with the appropriate length bodice, me in the dress they sent (showing that it hit below the breasts with a bra to cover the nipple area), and an image from Sarah's website showing a model wearing the dress with the intended fit.
Bride responded that I wasn’t properly wearing the dress, which was false, as a professional seamstress had fitted the dress and taken the photos. They asked for additional photos and video, then wrote back to say “skip that step” and instead go to a seamstress of their choosing, or they wouldn't believe me. Their top choice initially said she couldn't squeeze me in, due to the timing of my wedding. The second choice was a seamstress with a very negative reputation who required a deposit, so I chose not to work with her. I ended calling and texting Bride’s top choice until she kindly made time for a consultation within four days of the dress shop’s communications. Just from reviewing the photos I sent of the dress (taken by the first seamstress), this seamstress was able to determine that the bodice was cut too short and unalterable, which I had in writing and relayed to Bride. I again asked Bride for a refund at that time. They refused and still required an in person visit to their seamstress, so I complied.
At the consultation, the seamstress again stated and documented in writing that the bodice was cut too short and the dress was unalterable. She was also currently working on a dress with exactly the same problem for another bride.
Immediately upon exiting the dress shop (midday on 8/8/21), I provided a copy of the seamstress’ document to the Bride. I again requested a refund. I did not hear a reply from them until Wed, 8/11, when they told me that the dressmaker was making me a new dress. I refused this, as it is not possible to receive it and have routine alterations done prior to my 9/11/21 wedding. Bride continues to deny a refund for any part of the fees, including the rush charges, shipping, the seamstress consultation fee, the future charges for rush alterations, and the dress! They have never even apologized for the manufacturing defect.

To any future brides who may read this-
I could sit and respond to every inaccurate detail mentioned above, but instead I will let you know that in the extremely rare case there is an issue with your dress, our policy is to always work with t...
he designer to help you get a replacement dress, as we did with Amy. You are never alone and this situation with Amy was totally unnecessary and unlike anything we have experienced in our 6 years of business.
Amy’s Timeline:
6/12/21- Amy purchased her dress for her 9/11/21 wedding. The standard delivery for a wedding dress is 5-6 months plus shipping, therefore we needed to do a major rush on her dress. We did a 5 week rush plus shipping. Amy’s dress arrived early on July 10th, we emailed her after quality control on July 11th and shipped her dress on July 14th, as we are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. On July 21st, Amy reached out letting us know your dress had not yet arrived. I was on the phone multiple times a day every day until FedEx told me to file a claim and that Amy’s dress was most likely lost in transit. On July 21st, the designer’s team began remaking her dress, just in case her dress was in fact lost. On July 23rd, FedEx Travel History for Amy’s dress began updating again and her dress was delivered on July 27th. Given no issues with FedEx, if her dress had not arrived early to us originally, Amy would have received it July 23rd-30th. August 4th, Amy originally emailed about the dress issue and sent one picture of the dress not zipped or worn properly. Also on August 4th, we responded to her emails and created a moving forward and next step game plan by providing Amy with a recommended alterations list by working with the designer’s team and the local retailer of her designer, to get Amy in with a seamstress that is familiar with the design and construction of her dress. Sidenote: The local retailer and designer had previously had issues and strongly did not recommend Amy’s original choice for alterations. Also on August 4th, Amy informed us it was too late to get in with anyone on the recommended list. After informing us she couldn't get in to any of the recommended we called and tentatively booked Amy an appointment, which she declined and instead she chose to book a consultation with another recommended seamstress (not an appointment, but a consultation.) August 8th - Amy went to a consultation with the seamstress and provided us with documentation stating the bodice is 1” too short. August 9th- The designer’s team began making you a replacement dress with a bodice 1” longer. Which leads us to the week of August 16th - Amy’s dress finished production and we overnighted it to her giving her 3 weeks for alterations. Amy needed rush alterations from before even purchasing her dress and alterations are definitely doable in that amount of time, although not ideal. Without remaking the dress, Amy would have originally had 4-5 weeks max. I am not sure of Amy’s exact start date for alterations, but the bodice being 1” short changed her timeline by around a week and a half.
If for any reason, you are sketched out by this wild review, you are more than welcome to read the entirety of the emails in shop and make a decision for yourself on who here deserves the one star review or maybe it would help knowing the Attorney General and Better Business Bureau dismissed her requests? Either way, please know we always go above and beyond and take care of our brides, just like we did for Amy:)
Go. To. Bride. I promise you, it'll be the best experience from start to finish. The hype girl energy that Laura and the team bring is so genuine and will make you feel like a million bucks. They never for one second made me feel pressured to m...
ake a decision and were very transparent with me about my options. I visited another bridal salon in the area immediately after my appointment at bride that made me feel pressured and rushed and literally ran from that salon back to bride and back into the dress that I couldn't get out of my head. I felt like an absolute bombshell on my wedding day and couldn't have done it without these girls and this salon. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment ASAP!
The BRIDE team was the best of the best. They truly elevated my whole dress purchasing experience and made it one of a kind. The store itself is a gallery and all of those dresses are legitimate works of art. It wasn’t long before I found my “o...
ne” and they were just as pumped for me as my family was. They made me feel so special throughout the entire process.
Their accessories should also be noted. Each item is such great quality and really made the entire look come together! I recommend to all my closest friends.
First, I would like to apologize to all the brides looking for a dress that I was not able to post this sooner. I was heartbroken after picking up my dress in November from Bride. and it has been very difficult for me to put my experience into...
words. After a lot of thinking, I decided that I would list a couple of points that I would like brides planning to shop at Bride. to know.
1. You will be treated like a princess until you order your dress and pay them a tip. Then YOU will have to go out of your way to pick up your dress. Especially if you are from out of town.
2. When you order your dress, you are signing a contract agreeing to the measurement that they take.
3. If the dress comes in too small, Bride. WILL NOT help you. You will be stuck with a dress that does not fit.
4. Plan to pay a significant amount for alterations even after being measured by a professional and paying extra for a split-sized dress.
The dress that I ordered from Bride. was not able to be fixed. I do not live in KC so I went to another alteration professional that I have successfully used for years. She was not able to get the dress to fit me and I was forced to buy another dress.
I do not and will not recommend Bride. I think they have a good selection of simple bridal gowns in the KC area, but if you choose to buy your dress here you need to be aware of what your experience could be.
Response from the Vendor on 03/20/2021
Hey Leah!
Laura, the owner here! So surprised to hear from you this way and a bit shocked with your interpretation of your experience with us. Would love to recap on all of your thoughts! First up, so happy to hear that you felt like you were...
treated so well during the appointment process. Our goal is to create a refreshing and super warm experience celebrating each and every one of our brides. I am unclear on how your experience changed when our credit card system asked if you would like to leave a tip? Our stylists pour their heart and soul into appointments, many brides and their families really appreciate our level of service and have asked and are happy to leave a tip as a genuine thank you. Many other service industries have tip options as well. Is a tip prompt a factor for leaving a one star review with your hair stylist or nail technician as well? In no way did your stylist demand or expect a tip from you, it’s simply an option that you could have skipped, if you preferred not to leave one.
Second, as far as your dress pick up goes, this couldn’t be further from the truth. We had called and left you voicemails, texts, and emails trying to set up a time with you, we offered weekdays and Sundays. We tried to set times based off when you said we would be in town and then you wouldn’t respond at all or would respond with how they wouldn’t work for you, even when they would be the exact times you said would work. We were flexible and went outside of our normal pick up times to accommodate you.
As far as sizing goes, yes we recommended a split size for you and as we tell each bride upon ordering alterations are still needed 100% of the time, so that should not have come at any surprise. In no way, did we make it seem like you wouldn’t need alterations.
And lastly, we work with out of town brides all the time. As a complimentary service, we are always happy to find them local alterations in their preferred area. Over our five plus years in business, we have had very few issues but each time in the past we have always been more than happy to help figure out a solution and have worked with our designers and alterations to do so. Even though we do not do alterations in shop, our brides are never alone in the process unless there is a lack of communication from the bride or alterations shop about the issue, you are the first this has ever happened with. We would have been more than happy to come up with a solution for you, as well.
I cannot express enough how amazing my experience was at bride. !!! First off, THE SPACE is gorgeous! So beautiful, light, airy, comfortable- I feel like I could live there!! Second, the selection of dresses is incredible. I had previously visi...
ted another bridal shop and did not find one dress that I liked. But at bride. I-no exaggeration- loved every single one. My stylist, Rachel, was so kind and real. She was great with pulling all different options, listening to my comments on each dress, and helping me narrow my top picks down (because every dress was beautiful). They were also really great about still making my appointment a special experience during Covid-19 times. I was a little nervous to try on wedding dresses with a mask on, but they truly made me feel both safe and special. I felt so supported and beautiful at bride. I CANNOT WAIT to go back and try on my dress again when it comes in. I wish I could go back and do the whole experience over again, because it was so much fun and so wonderful. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed, beautiful experience in finding your dream dress, absolutely go to bride. You will not regret it!
I had the best experience at Bride finding my wedding dress!!! This was the second place I went to & absolutely loved how welcomed my family and I felt. Both Laura’s are a dream to work with and did a great job of pulling options they thought I...
would like & also encouraging me to try on some things I didn’t think I would like (& of course ended up loving.) They truly want the best for you & they celebrate in a big way when you say “yes!”
They also did a great job of communicating with me when my dress was shipped & ready for me to try on in shop!
They have a good price range & very unique selection of dresses!!
Laura and her stylist helped me find a dress when I had no where to start. I hadn't looked to even see that I want, but they jumped in and literally did their thing! Everyone was so helpful through the entire process and there was no pressure a...
t all to purchase a dress. They actually want brides to be happy and feel beautiful. My mom and I had such a great experience with these ladies and ANYONE who is looking for a dress, RUN TO THIS STORE. I drove from Saint Louis and would make the drive a million times over.
Laura and bride. made my wedding dress dreams a reality! I walked into their bridal shop and really had no idea what I was looking for in a dress. Laura asked me to describe in three words how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. I gave her thos...
e words and she brought them to life in the dresses that I tried on. I loved SO MANY dresses at bride. I could have been more than ecstatic with at least four of the dresses I tried on. I ended up picking my perfect dress at bride. and felt like a rockstar on my wedding day. Laura and the bride. girls - THANK YOU for making me feel like the most glamorous version of myself. I cannot thank you all enough!!! I would recommend bride. to anyone and everyone looking for a dress!
Lots of options. Friendly, helpful staff.
I got my dress at their sister store, bride confidential, which is right upstairs. I wasn’t looking for anything too expensive, and since nothing upstairs is over $1600, I thought it was a good place to start. Not only did I find my dress, I fo...
und many dresses that I loved! All of the gowns were in perfect condition! They helped me choose a veil that went perfectly with my dress. I will recommend this store to any bride!
This is the best bridal shop. I went to a few different ones before ending up at bride. I was really looking for the type of dresses they offered (and they carry my favorite designer - Sarah Seven). They made the experience everything I was hop...
ing for. They asked what I was looking for and brought different dresses for me to try, adjusting as we went until we found the ONE. It looked so good that my husband cried when he saw me walking down the aisle. They also were quick to respond to emails and gave great suggestions for alterations. Be sure to check them out!
Bride. and the Lauras are just the best thing to happen to wedding dress shopping since... who knows when.
After getting engaged I found a few designers whose dresses I liked, and found out that Bride. was the only shop in town who carried the...
m. After making my appointment, the whole experience was a dream. The shop is the cutest Pinterest dreamland you can imagine, and Laura couldn't be sweeter. It was so laid back, and my group and I had a blast sipping champagne and browsing the dresses. I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted going into it, and I liked a lot of what I was trying on, but the Laura knew what was up, and pulled a dress from left field at the end. I literally told her "I will look like a linebacker in that" ... and yet once that baby was on, we all lost it! But alas, I suck at decisions, and I had another appointment and needed some time to think. They were so sweet and understanding and let me come back a few days later to put it on again just to make sure I KNEW! Really I might have just wanted to come hang out with them again... :)
They also carry the best line of fun and different bridal jewelry. I actually ended up buying the exact earrings Laura picked out to go with my dress.
Seriously can't speak about this place highly enough, and I CANNOT wait to wear my dress!
Found my DREAM dress here! Laura, the owner, is so chill and awesome - made the entire experience easy and low key!

The atmosphere at Bride is amazing! The moment I walked into Bride I felt welcome and comfortable! The dress selection is phenomenal and there are so many unique options! I started at Bride and fell in love with so many of the dresses that I tr...
ied on. I already booked appointments elsewhere and went to check out their dresses, but nothing compared to Bride.
Laura is the best! She is so kind, patient, and totally chill! During the whole process, she makes you feel like you’re one of her friends and she’s tagging along to help you find a dress. Yet, she’s a total expert and knew just the vibe I was going for! She made me feel so at ease! I am so lucky to have found Bride and can’t thank you enough, Laura!
I absolutely loved BRIDE KC! Laura, the owner was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and beautiful! I’m in love with my dress! BRIDE KC is the only boutique that carries these designers in KC and they’re very unique and gorgeous! I would hig...

When people asked about my initial wedding dress shopping experience - I honestly didn't like talking about it. I was stressed and nervous due to stylists not truly understanding the style I wanted and overall, I wanted something classy yet lo...
w-key. After visiting 5 places in Kansas City, 5 in St. Louis and 2 in Houston, I really thought I wasn't going to find my dream dress… but then, enter BRIDE. & Laura. From the moment I walked into the doors at BRIDE., I knew it was the place where I'd purchase my dress. At first glance, you can't help but marvel at the cutest shop in the world. Seriously, Laura's style and music taste is just impeccable. But after chatting with Laura for just a minute, she puts you at ease. I felt so comfortable and knew it would be the best experience and it was. I visited BRIDE by myself first since my mom and sister live in St. Louis. Laura was so patient with me knowing I would have to make a follow up appointment with my family. When that appointment came around, it was just the best day ever. Laura greeted the whole gang with her genuine smile and a big ole bottle of champagne for us to split. I had two dresses I was torn between and pulled a wild card - and you know it, landed on the wild card! Laura, is a gem for bringing this shop to Kansas City. I truly feel BRIDE. has the most cutting edge, classic, modern and comfortable (I could do high kicks in my dress!!) than any other shop. My dress buying experience was wonderful which ultimately made me feel beautiful on my big day!
Best bridal shop ever! I tried on dresses at other bridal stores and non compared to Bride. I love love love my dress! I had so many compliments on how unique and beautiful my dress was! You have to schedule a fitting with them!
One of the first decisions I made when wedding planning was to go to BRIDE to find my dress, and I never regretted it once. Not only did Laura make it SO easy to find the perfect dress, she was supportive and helpful throughout the entire plann...
ing process. I felt so comfortable with her, and my dress made me feel exactly as I wanted to on the day. If you're looking for a different, laid-back experience to dress shopping - this is the place to go - you will not be disappointed!
THE BEST EXPERIENCE! Laura was a dream to work with, I wanted to purchase every dress in the store! After visiting another bridal store in town with a very pushy saleswoman, walking into BRIDE was a breath of fresh air. The aesthetic is impecca...
ble and dresses are even better. But the best part was that Laura was so nice and made me feel so comfortable, which is exactly what you want when looking for your dream dress. I had such a pleasant experience, I wish I could visit Laura at BRIDE everyday! Not to mention, I received so many compliments on the dress :)
let’s just start out by saying, this is THE WORLDS BEST bridal shop. Apparently, I was more picky than I thought when picking out a wedding dress, and I traveled to four different states, countless bridal shops, and seriously, NOTHING even comp...
ared to the overall experience I got shopping with Laura at BRIDE. Right when I walked in I was greeted with a friendly smile and hello, and felt so comfortable. I am not a small gal, and Laura made me feel so fabulous regardless. She let me try on whatever dresses I wanted to try on, and not just what she thought I should try on. I never felt rushed, and it felt like I was just trying on dresses with a friend. I cannot even recommended BRIDE enough. If you are loooming for the best dresses and by far the best experience. This is the place.
I chose my dress at Bride after touring several other shops in town. Bride offers a smaller, more curated collection, and one that differs significantly from other stores. If you're looking for a unique, often modern take on the bridal gown, lo...
ok no further! The space itself was also lovely, and Laura was very knowledgeable. If you're not the flouncy ball gown-type, save yourself a lot of time by stopping here first!
The best, best, BEST bridal shopping experience. Everything you see in the shop is what is available (which I love – you feel like you're not missing out on any options because everything's hidden in the back) and the selection is wonderfully c...
urated. Laura is sweet, welcoming and her calmness is an awesome addition to what can sometimes be a stressful day. I showed her a few styles I liked, and she pulled a few additional dresses for me in my price range that she thought I'd like. I never felt rushed or pressured and she picked the most BEAUTIFUL veil to pair with my gown. Laura and her beautiful shop brought me my dream gown <3
TL;DR: Go here to shop for your wedding dress. You will not be disappointed!
I could not recommend BRIDE more. Laura made me feel so fantastic about my body (I am NOT a size 2.. far from it), and helped me find my dream dress. She listened to what I had in mind, but also had me try on some I never though I would like! E...
veryone in my bridal party had a great time here. So glad I found this place!!
Laura is the best at what she does. I messaged her on Instagram asking about a dress they’d posted and she gave me details without at all trying to sell me anything. When I booked my appointment, she remembered me and was so kind and really too...
k the time to get to know me and what I was after. Laura put pieces together that usually you wouldn’t think about (headpieces, skirts, bodysuits, etc.) she’s truly a genius. She’s also very good at listening to what the bride wants while still pleasing the squad 😍. If you want the dress shopping experience like the movies but still something that’s so ‘yours’ GO HERE!
Love, love, LOVE this store!!! I started my day dress shopping here and it was by far the best appointment. I'll say it again, the BEST by far! :) :) :) (I went to 3 total!)
Laura's store is trendy and so unique. Which for me was absolutely gr...
eat. I did not want the traditional feel nor did I want a large box store. Her salon really fit my personal style and everything was simply gorgeous.
Lindsay is also amazing!!! She helped me with trying on dresses and she was SO great. She is such a cool and laid back person, it really helped make my day more calm and relaxing. We had fun and chatted the whole time. She also did such a great job of trying to help me figure out what I was looking for and helped me feel confident in everything I tried.
Another noteworthy comment, BRIDE far exceeded the standards in their quality of dresses. Each dress they pulled was beautiful and felt expensive and luxurious without carrying a hefty price tag.
They also stayed open late for me at the end of the day so I could come back in after I realized my dress was there! It was the perfect end to my day. I only wish I had spent more time there soaking it all in lol.
Laura and Lindsay thank you for making my day so special!!!
Laura is so welcoming and cares about her brides, she take the time to get to know them and help them find their perfect dress. Her shop, BRIDE. is a perfect little gem in the middle of the city, with designers that are unique and exceptional. ...
I found my Pinterest dress in her shop and we were both nervous about trying it on first, so she showed me some alternatives she thought I would like, which I did, but when it came time to try on the Pinterest dress we both knew it was THE ONE. She was just as excited as I was! That's what make her and BRIDE. so special. Laura has worked hard to create a space for the modern bride and it shows.
Although I didn't find my dress here, it is a truly wonderful shop! Laura is so sweet and patient. It has lots of very unique and intricate laces, and also a large selection of very modern, clean, structured gowns. Highly recommend when on your...

I made the trip from St. Louis back in October. At the start of my appointment, Laura asked me what three words I wanted for my dress - unique, modern and myself. Boy, did she deliver. I could have chosen any dress from her rack and been over the moon. I ended up purchasing a Tatyana Merenyuk top and skirt - it was perfect. I just got married about 2 weeks ago and I received so many compliments on my dress. Thank you Laura for all your help! You made my wedding day complete. :)
Lovely time at Bride Boutiques with my son's fiancee. The owner listened to Nichole and she found her the perfect dress. The shop was stylish and trendy and the dresses in-vogue.
If I could give BRIDE 10 stars I totally would. Laura is so genuine and a consummate professional at what she does. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else! I drove from St Louis to take a peak at her salon and was blown away by how comforta...
ble and fun the experience was, it was very different from other places I had been! After purchasing a dress and changing it half way through because I found out I was pregnant, Laura was right there with her patience and got my full deposit back to go towards another dress. I was blown away by the service provided and by my new amazing dress : )
Laura is truly a visionary when it comes to the bridal gowns she carries and the entire experience for bride's looking for their dress. There's no stuffy, salesy vibes here; Laura is just down right genuine and truly cares about your wedding da...
y and your gown shopping experience as a whole. She has such a unique variety of dresses and from the very moment you walk into the shop, it's like you're family. Out of all the gown shops I went to, BRIDE exceeded every single expectation. I can't say enough beautiful things about this gem and I have sent all my recently engaged friends to her shop as well!
BRIDE. and the owner, Laura, made my wedding dress shopping experience just absolutely perfect! I visited two local wedding dress shops, the first of which was BRIDE. One of Laura's first questions for me was about how I wanted to feel on my we...
dding day. It was a simple question but the dresses she pulled based on my answer were incredible. Throughout my appointment, Laura was attentive, listened to my feedback and read my face even when I didn't say anything. She was never pushy, but gave me the freedom to be honest about how I felt about each dress. I ended up with a custom Truvelle wedding dress and it was everything I could have dreamed of. When it was delivered with a minor hiccup, I never worried because I knew Laura would handle it effortlessly. Every step of the way, Laura was professional and personal. Honestly I wish I had more reasons to shop at BRIDE. because it was a wonderful experience! I was so lucky to have had Laura guide me through the wedding dress hunt and I will forever send every bride I meet her way!
BRIDE was hands down one of the best parts of my wedding planning experience. Laura is funny, kind, and has an amazing way of taking your vision and making it come alive in your dress. The dresses at BRIDE are unique, affordable, well made, and...
absolutely stunning. If Laura sold other items of clothing, I would literally be in there once a week - that's how beautiful her store is.
Bride was the perfect place for me to find my dress. Laura is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She stuck to my budget, and pulled dresses that mirrored the photos I had sent her beforehand. There was absolutely no pressure. She is genu...

Thank you Laura for such a dreamy experience! BRIDE. is such an intimate bridal salon with gorgeous gowns. I don't consider myself someone with boho style but don't let that keep you from going here! If you are a romantic, like lace, unique/one...
-of-a-kind dresses, definitely add BRIDE. to your list of bridal salons to visit. Laura is such a gem. She reminds me of a down-to-earth Lauren Conrad (in looks and style) with a sweetheart personality. Her shop is truly one of a kind and one you don't want to miss!
An absolute dream. If you are a bride in the Kansas City area, and you are looking to break past the traditional wedding mold, you must see Laura at BRIDE KC. There is no review good enough for her or her gem of a bridal shop. I am lucky to hav...
e found not only the dress of my dreams, but also made a friend along the way. After visiting 9 other bridal stores around the Missouri/Kansas area I was losing all hope. I stumbled upon the BRIDE website and I could instantly tell this place was something different...something special. I was able to make an appointment quickly, and was warmly greeted with an awesome playlist, great lighting, and the most beautiful, and down-to-earth lay out and vibe that I could hope for. Laura had wedding dresses and designers that no one else in the area did. I just knew this would be where I'd find my wedding dress. She was so patient with me, and believe me, my indecisiveness was definitely rearing it's ugly little head and yet it didn't seem to phase her. When I put on "the one" we both just knew. It was the best experience ever. She is so knowledgeable and a genuine good soul. I decided on a Truvelle jaw dropper because I wanted something different, and if it wasn't for BRIDE I would have never been able to find it. Even with a custom change made, my dress was affordable, and able to be shipped to me in Georgia (my new home) all within 6 months of my wedding (yes, she made it happen!!) My wedding was just recently, October 23rd, and all I can say is, this little number was everything, and more. I highly recommend BRIDE KC.
I had such a wonderful experience at Bride. Laura was a dream to work with with and her shop is filled with a unique mix of gowns I did not see anywhere else. I could have tried on every single one but luckily I found my dress within the firs...
t handful. She also had great accessories whether your a bride or not!
BRIDE. is the absolute best bridal salon in KC. My appointment here was a dream from beginning to end! From the moment we walked in Laura made us all feel at ease with her fun personality and sweet nature. Not to mention the space is gorgeous. ...
On top of all that--every single dress she carries is absolutely amazing. You will not find gowns like these anywhere else in KC! I ended up purchasing the second gown I tried on, but I wanted to try on every single gown she carries because they are all so DIFFERENT! If you are looking for a fun, laid-back shopping experience with unique gowns--this is your spot!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with BRIDE. From the beautiful facility, to the laid back decor, to the choice of all female independent designers; BRIDE truly creates an atmosphere that embraces the nostalgic and elegant, t...
he artistic and unique. The store owner, Laura, was such a joy to work with each time I paid this shop a visit. When I eventually found my dream wedding dress at a different boutique, I was a little was saddened to not have bought my dress at BRIDE because my experience here far exceeded that of any other bridal salon. The warm friendly atmosphere and the attention to detail regarding the shop's own personal branding make for a wonderfully unique experience. I cannot recommend this shop enough.
Laura was so helpful and made the whole dress shopping experience enjoyable! I felt so comfortable and cared for at BRIDE. So thankful for this wedding dress shop during such a busy time of wedding planning!
Let me start out by saying I did not end up purchasing my dress here, but that will not stop me from giving 5 starts and raving about this place. From the second we walked in, Laura made me and my group feel very welcome. This boutique is one ...
of the cutest I've ever seen with a quaint selection of gorgeous unique dresses. The whole experience was wonderful, from the very quick email responses to the champagne offered to the lovely decor of the shop. They may not have the large selection that bigger bridal salons have, but don't let that deter you from checking this place out. Highly recommended!
Absolutely the best experience! Laura is so amazingly genuine and wonderful to work with. Perfect spot if you are looking for a unique experience and laid back vibe.
I cannot describe how wonderful Laura was in making such a stressful decision completely painless!
I went into Bride with a friend on a walk-in Wednesday, because even scheduling an appointment seemed too intimidating for me (!!!) to try on dr...
esses for the first time. I had never really pictured myself as a bride, but knew I wanted something unique, for my intimate, fall wedding.
Laura set aside things for me as I went through what I thought I should try on with my friend's help. She was very considerate of the fact that I was nervous (read: awkward) and didn't know exactly what style I should go for. There was the PERFECT selection in her shop without being overwhelming. A little bit of everything for the distinctive, non-traditional bride - full lace sleeves/dresses, open backs, separates, etc. - by awesome designers that can't be found anywhere in Kansas City.
Laura made me feel so comfortable trying on dresses. She offered us champagne/water and never made me feel rushed to start trying things on. Laura provided her thoughtful opinions, but never tried to convince me that one dress was right for me or not. She asked me questions about my vision for the day, my man, etc., and it was easy to tell with her that she was genuinely interested. I walked out that first day with some info about my favorite dress, but not purchasing anything.
My family is from out of town, so I went to Minneapolis to try on dresses with my mother at three different boutiques there. While I had a few nice experiences, none compared to Bride. Most were more sales-y or the selection was too traditional for my taste. Ultimately, I came back to Bride to try on my favorite Alexandra Grecco dress (actually, separates!) again. I placed my order that day, and since then, have had several questions that Laura always answers quickly by email (providing me with info from the designer, details on a recommended place for alterations, etc). She has gone above and beyond to make sure I have everything I could possibly need.
While I didn't select any accessories (yet!), there's a great selection in the shop. The jewelry tempts me even for non-bridal events! I might even be back in for other special occasions.
I really can't recommend Bride enough. If you are a bride who wants unique, stand-out gowns, at really reasonable price points, AND phenomenal, personal customer service.... this is the place to go.
Bride was by far the best place I went when looking for dresses. Laura is amazing. She might not have the biggest inventory in town, but she definitely has the best.
Besides finding a dress that I love, I really enjoyed the experience. I...
t was super chill and Laura really allows you to look at the dress and form your own opinion of how you look/feel in it. She doesn't offer a fake, "oh my gosh, you look so pretty", every single time you put on a dress. I don't know why, but I really loved that.
Hands down the best wedding dress shopping experience I had. The shop is absolutely darling and the dress selection is so well-curated. Nothing outrageously expensive, and not an overwhelming amount of dresses. Laura gives you total one-on-o...
ne attention in such a relaxed, beautiful environment. Can't say enough great things!
Having admired BRIDE. from afar thanks to its gorgeous Instagram account, I knew that I wanted my wedding gown journey to start (and possibly end) with them. I'm from Kansas City originally, but live in New York. When I was in town to find a ve...
nue, I made an appointment. I immediately felt at ease as soon as I walked in, thanks to Lauren's sweet nature and generous spirit and the store's chill vibes courtesy of beautiful interior design and an amazing playlist.
I love Lauren's aesthetic and the gowns were right up my alley—independent designers and modern silhouettes. I was a little self-conscious about trying on sample-size dresses, but Lauren made me feel incredibly comfortable and confident as she helped me in and out of each one, making sure to highlight what worked and downplaying what didn't. She was also very good about asking questions about myself and my fiancé separate from the wedding, which I really appreciated. Lauren was great with my maid of honor and mom as well—we felt really well-taken care of / that Lauren had been our friend for years.
The dress I found at BRIDE. is the one to beat, and one I hadn't even originally considered in all my pinning. I was hesitant to get the dress because BRIDE was the first place I've been to. But if I don't find anything that gives me as many feelings as this dress, I plan on flying back home to KC to get the dress from BRIDE. and Lauren just because I loved the experience and the store so much.
I would definitely recommend BRIDE. to any woman in KC looking for her dress.
Laura at bride is amazing! I love how small and intimate the shop is and plus Laura has great taste and stocks the store with unique and beautiful dresses! Made my dress buying experience better than I ever expected!
I am in love with Laura's carefully curated collection at Bride. The gowns are beautiful and unique, unlike anywhere else in town, and range from modern elegance to indie and romantic. The accessories she has add the perfect touch. The cherry ...
on top is how beautiful the boutique itself is! I couldn't be happier with the service and my experience. I found my perfect dress here and I can't wait to get married in it!
I had a wonderful experience and received great customer service. The gowns are beautiful and unique and the shop is absolutely charming!
I recently went to Bride to start the journey of finding a wedding dress. I had no idea what to expect and was a little nervous I wouldn't find "the one". I decided to go to Bride, because I was intrigued by the description. Bride is such a cu...
te little store and was a wonderful setting. It was just myself and those who came with me. We had Laura's undivided attention. Laura was everything I could have asked for! She was supportive and made the experience so fun! Needless to say, I found my dress on our first visit. I wanted to make sure, so she let us make an appointment for the following day, so I could come back and try it on, again, before making the final decision. Well, I said yes to the dress! :)
I would highly recommend anyone looking for a beautiful dress, that is unlike what everyone else is wearing, to go to Bride. You won't be disappointed!
