Brides and Beyond

that was perfect. I am very grateful we found her. Thank you!!

all of the alterations in shop and is very flexible with appointment times.

y time to look for a dress from other stores. And also the price was reasonable.

dding dresses. I really reccomend for the people who are looking for a perfect wedding dress to go there because Marry would help you find the perfect dress you want.

e, live here locally, and my daughter lives in Florida. When an unexpected trip to the East came up, Mary altered my daughter's dress on short notice to enable me to bring her wedding dress to her. This salon is above and beyond in personalized service!!! Laura Webb, Woodinville, WA

ht away. She was quick to help me find dresses that fit my budget and my interest. She helped me in and out of every dress I tried on and was very encouraging. I ended up trying on the dress pretty quickly and she was very patient as each dress I tried on after was quickly compared to my favorite. Overall I ended up really enjoying my experience at Brides and Beyond. I would recommend Brides and Beyond to all of my friends.

fit me the best and made me look absolutely amazing! I visited her over a long weekend when she was offering a time-limited offer on all the in-store dresses, and even though I called in to purchase it a week later she was still kind enough to give me the discount. It is my opinion that she was quite frank and a bit blunt both in person and over email correspondence, but in the end she was able to help me find the perfect dress at a good price, and that is what really mattered for me. Definitely give this boutique store a chance!

at Brides & Beyond. I went in with a pretty poor attitude, but was pleasantly surprised at my experience. I was welcomed and shown beautiful dresses; the service was thorough and never pushy. She helped me in and out of plenty of challenging dresses, and always catered to what I wanted to see, never making me feel like I was putting her out. I found two dresses in particular that were STUNNING. As my wedding is in less than 3 months, I was concerned about getting the dress in time. I was assured that, no matter what dress I chose, off the rack or order, it would be ready in time. I returned a few hours later to make my final choice, and even though I didn't have an appointment, I was helped again immediately. I ended up choosing a beautiful lace dress that I adore. I can't rave enough about this place! Absolutely phenomenal. Don't miss out!

h me - patient and honest in her opinion and never gave up in finding my dress. I went in with one idea on what I wanted and left with a dress that was slightly different but perfect for me. I visited several other places prior to coming here and no other boutique could compare. Brides and Beyond had everything I was looking for - a wonderful staff, a cute and cozy location and I didn't spend an arm and a leg on a dress that would only be worn once. Thanks again Mary and staff! I plan to recommend you and Brides and Beyond to all my engaged friends in the future!

Mary suggested a style that I was hesitant to try on however, when I put it on and saw myself in the mirror, I fell in love!!! There was no way I would have picked that dress off the rack however, it seems that Mary knows her stuff and knew what flattered my figure more than I did!!! I said yes to the dress that's on order now as I'm getting married in Feb 2016. Thanks Mary, you're the BEST!

der a "custom dress" w/o measurements? So my credit card denied my fraud case claiming the owner said she ordered the custom gown. So my husband and I went back to the store to see what kind of "custom" dress she could of ordered w/o my measurements...it was the floor model size 22 dress!!!(I'm an 8) So she ALSO lied to my credit card company, then tried to tell my husband that I tried to take advantage of HER because she has an accent (my husband is not American) so he found this funny. Then I tried to take the dress to an alteration company who specializes in wedding dresses to see if they could alter the 22 to an 8. It was going to cost more than the dress did because of all the material, etc. Then they pointed out that the dress had been altered before and sure enough the conartist that owns Brides and Beyond had sold a "custom dress" that had an uneven neckline. This place is the biggest joke/fraud and you will be sorry if you do business here.

me to be creative and have fun choosing my gown. Thanks Maria, I will recommend you to my friends! God bless you and your business!

able to make the modifications necessary to fit my vision of the perfect dress. All the alterations were done on time and to perfection. I now have the perfect dress for my perfect day! Thank you

tment same day. When I arrived, I saw a rack full of Moni Cheri and other wonderful dress. In a half hour I had two favorites. My sister met me there the next day and we purchased the floor model. Mary is an expert at wedding alteration and pinned the dress and jacket for alterations. Dresses are about $500 alteration about $200. This brand dress is never on sale. If you want to look your absolute best, there is no other option than a good bridal boutique. I get my dress next week and I am so excited. I know I will now look chic and sophisticated as the mother of the groom. Remember this is a very competitive business. Mary and her expertise will set your dress apart from other boutiques. Her boutique is very cozy and personal. I hope that your experience is as good has mine!

look around. During this time I found the dress for me. I had been to several other shops and none of them had exactly what I was looking for. I thought about the dress for a bit and then decided to get it. I was in Seattle at the time and would not be able to make it back to her shop before she closed which was a problem since I was flying out in the morning. She kept the shop open late and I was able to get my dress. I was there last week to get fitted for the alterations which should be done when I come home again in December.

off the rack since I would be doing some alterations on any dress I ordered in my size anyway. Unfortunately she didn't explain to me just how difficult this particular dress would be to alter, which made it very pricey, as we found out later when we took it to various places to get an estimate. I ended up paying nearly the cost of the dress for those alterations. My main reason for the low rating however was because of the poor way in which we were treated at this store. The sales lady was rude and made us feel like we were a hassle to work with, which did not make the experience an exciting, joyous one like I was hoping for. At one point she even told my mom, who is in a wheelchair, that she could not move around the store because she was leaving tire tracks in the carpet! This was ridiculous and a terrible way to treat customers. If I hadn't already found the dress I loved we would have just walked out at that point.

them. Plus all of the dresses were oversized on me (which is typical) but she wouldn't even clip them to fit me, so I had to hold them myself to see how they would look. I also felt the selection was very limited. There are way better bridal salons in the area.

into the shop with unrealistic expectations that I would be able to get the dress she wanted for $500 or less. While this shop did have dresses for $500 or less there were not too many choices at that price point. The lady shop owner was very nice, caring and understanding. She offered to do a bit of tailoring if we should need it but was about to leave on an international vacation so we used someone else for minor adjustments. We took the dress with us that day. We later discovered the dress was a good bargain, even at $1,275. I had many compliments about my daughter's appearance; her dress definitely contributed to her beauty and radiance.

ied my gown on was wayyyy over priced and after calling Munera she was able to order my wedding gown with the cheapest price available. I ordered the gown out of state because of how good her price was. It couldn't be beat! I highly recommend either calling her and seeing if she has your dress in stock or visiting her store. I wish I would have been able to visit the location but living out of state I was unable to do so, however I was very impressed with the delivery of my dress. It came in perfect, exactly how I pictured and I was able to get it altered and worn for my special day for a fraction of the cost. Thank you making my day perfect. -Ellis Bride from CA

y hugged my daughter and told her not to worry that they would find the dress. Find the dress, they did! Minutes later my daughter was wearing "The gown" Marry assured us she could alter the dress in any way my daughter liked. The store was full of the latest designer fashions and the personal and loving service Mary provides is heart warming. We went in for the final fitting last Sunday. My daughter looks beautiful, the alterations perfect and Mary is now a very beloved part of our family. I heartily recommend this store to everyone. Especially those weary of the large Bridal Store chains who employ young, rude and uninformed staff. Mary is the best. She will do anything she can to accommodate the entire wedding party. Thank you Mary! Thank you Brides and Beyond!!

e arrived we found Mary to be extremely helpful and patient there were lots of dresses to choose from so we were there for a long time, nothing was too much trouble. My Daughter also found her bridesmaid dress too. Once the dresses arrived in the shop we went for a fitting. The alterations that were needed were completed in time and now looking forward to wearing my dress for my October Wedding.

d I suspected that a couple thousand dollars was much more likely. When we went into the small shop, Mary, the owner, greeted us and gave a great overview of where things were in the shop and the various price ranges. We looked around a little bit and a few dresses caught my eye to try on. The highest price of the three was $1200, and it was gorgeous, with hand-sewn beading, soft and plentiful fabric of good quality. I would've thought that all three were outside our range by a good margin, whether it was mine or my Mom's range. One of the three dresses (Mary's suggestion and beautiful) was $500!!! I ended up settling on a dress that was just over $1,000 with a discount for buying the one in the store. Hand sewn beading, strapless, fitted bodice with a fluffy floor length bottom and a chapel length train. The double veil had the same beautiful beading and was less than $200 more. I really can't say enough about Mary, she was so sweet and she has a background in dressmaking and can do tailoring on even the most intricate gowns just before the wedding. We have a tricky sizing issue for our wedding and a very short timeframe (1 month!) but she was willing to move things around to be able to get the fittings done and the dress perfect in time. I was so lucky and happy to be able to have this experience with my Mom, but I have a feeling that any bride that went into the shop would be treated by Mary like a daughter. She worked to give us a great deal and we left the shop very happy with the entire experience. Recommend!

ation that I began the process of finding “the dress.” With my mother and future mother-in-law in tow, I visited a few stores in the North Seattle area and always left feeling like I should just settle for one of the dresses I had tried on because the process was draining. The salespeople were borderline bullying with their insistence that THIS was the dress for me and that they had been doing this for x amount of years and I should just trust them; one even tried the tactic of “if you buy the day you come in, you get a discount, but if you leave here and sleep on it (like any normal person would do), the discount is null and void.” I was drained and honestly ready to give up. Then I went to my last appointment for the week with Mary at Brides and Beyond. She was beyond wonderful. She wasn’t pushy and she made me and my mothers feel almost like family; she really listened to what I wanted and respected the fact that my mother can be a little over the top (she worked in a bridal boutique when I was really young, so she asks a lot more questions than normal and is extra critical). The shop was clean and had all the appropriate mirrors to get a 360 degree view (this was not the case at all the other shops I visited), and the selection was extensive and of a higher quality than what I had seen previously. They also do alterations in house, and my mother was impressed with their willingness to even see if the designer would hem the dress before shipping it, ultimately saving me money and stress over it being done properly. I was glad that I didn’t give up and settle with the pushy salespeople from before, because I was able to find “the dress” at Brides and Beyond for a reasonable price and have a pleasant shopping experience with my mothers. I would highly recommend giving Brides and Beyond a try when the time comes to shop for a special occasion gown.

d how much my budget was, and I told her the truth. And finally, she kindly gave us a big discount for our beautiful wedding dress, alteration, and shoes that stays within our budget! I can't believe it! She's so kind and the service was really amazing. What a great experience I had! All the wedding & bridesmaids dresses that she has in the store are very beautiful and they have a great quality too. My dress looks so gorgeous on me. I'm really happy! Thank you so much for your help Marry, you're the best! I would highly recommend brides and beyond to everyone!

ugh, and she made a deal on the 2nd dress!!! Mary, thank you for what you do!

buy it (most places around here allow pics) so make sure to bring a trusted friend to give you opinions. The dress arrived ahead of schedule. I had it tailored at the adjoining shop, run by the same ladies. It took 3 fittings to be perfect so be mentally prepared for trial and error and leave yourself time, even when they say it's going to be no problem.

ations. I wasn't in love with any of the first few I tried on and then she pulled one out of the back that she just got in and hadn't made it on to the floor yet. It was definitely "The Dress." It was a UK brand that is not carried in many stores in the area. I was very impressed with the price and the quality of the dress. They do their own alterations at the store. My mom has worked as a seamstress and after talking with the saleslady she has complete confidence in her abilities. Throughout the entire process the staff was very courteous and not pushing for a sale. They understand the importance of the decision and do not overwhelm the bride. The boutique carries quality dresses at affordable prices. I would recommend Brides and Beyond for any bride!

Beyond!

eral times to finally buy my dress! Thank you Mary you are awesome!

my dress, my brides maids and moms dress all in one place. On top of that she carries the bride to be shirts and the " I do" and " me too" stickers for the shoes which I love .... Convenience is key!! Especially with wedding planning. Thank you Mary you are amazing.

quickly. On top of that my Bff the bride found her gown and we all new it once she put it on. It was wonderful! We also found our brides maids dresses it was a perfect appointment and we had a great time, thank you Mary for all the laughs I can't wait to come back when all our dresses come in!!

ond is where every bride should go to look for a quailty dress on her specail day. I can't wait to put my dess back on and walk down the aisle!

any stores, and always came back. We got 4 beautiful dresses in exactly the right color that looked great on all of them. And because I ordered them all myself, i got a discount. Cant beat the service. My wedding dress also turned out perfectly.

and super helpful! We found exactly what we needed and everyone was happy it was a miracle! I will definitely be back when it is my turn to get married my wedding gown and bridal parties attire the full deal for all the ladies in the wedding! Thank you Brides and Beyond!!!

get married and wear my wdding gown!

onds. The old lady there wouldn't show me specific dresses i wanted to try on because she said I was too fat, and that I need to work out.. I wanted to cry she made me feel soo horrible. Anyways, going to Brides and Beyond was such the opposite experience. The lady let me try all types of dress so that I would see for myself which works best. She kept calling me beautiful and said I am perfect how I am. Fast-forward I found my dress and got a great deal! The owner even threw in free bridal slippers!! I suggest checking this place out!!

h the internet asking me where I got my dress (from photos). I was so happy with my dress. There was one hiccup which we identified at the last fitting and did our best to resolve. I blame my narrow 32inch chest for the bump in the fabric. No one noticed it but me of course. Perfectionist, yes I am. I highly recommend this venue for your special day! Thank you Mary!

over and over. We arrived at Brides and Beyond, and I tried on a few dresses. Mary actually listened to what I was saying, and watched my reactions to dresses. After a few dresses, she said, "I have the dress for you." She went to the rack and there it was. The dress fits perfectly, but my mom wants me to make it a halter top. Seeing my ambivalence about it, Mary is making it so that it is altered by buttons. I can decide the day of if I want the halter, or take it off after the ceremony, etc. The price for ordering the dress was low, and the alterations price was very low. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate Mary and her shop. I felt that she had several unique dresses as well as more traditional ones.

m, everything a bride needs for her wedding. Mary/the owner is awesome with her professional recommendation and eye for perfection.I recommend this boutique in a heart beat to every bride to be to check it out before going elsewhere. This is a small business that the owner takes pride in and as a bride to be, I do take pride in ordering my dress from Brides & Beyond.

going back to her to get the alterations done. Overall I had a great experience and would highly recommend Brides and Beyond to anyone who is looking for their wedding dress.

zing job. She had great advice and took time to explain things to a first time bride. She also fit my slightly last minute timeline which was very helpful. I strongly recommend this shop.

my wedding dress, 4 bridesmaids dresses, and my moms dress. Mary has a lot of knowledge and experience with sizing, colours, and tailoring. Her husband runs a tailor right next door which makes it easy to get alterations done as soon as your dress comes in. The only thing I didn't love about Brides and Beyond is that when I asked how long it would take for the dresses to come in the date always seemed to shift farther away...I don't know a lot about the industry so I don't know if that was Mary misrepresenting when she thought the dresses would be in or if she was just relaying information from the manufacturers who would push the date back. All in all I would recommend Brides and Beyond to anyone looking for a really well constructed dress at a good price!
