My experience at Brides by Young in Rochelle Park was wonderful. From the moment I stepped into the salon, I knew I was in good hands. The selection of wedding dresses was impressi...
ve, and the stylist was incredibly attentive, helping me find the perfect dress that matched my vision. When I found "the one," it felt like it was made just for me. Farzaneh did a phenomenal job on my alterations and even gave me her phone number in case I needed to contact her, as I lived over 200 miles away from the boutique. The staff at Brides by Young were not only professional but also warm and supportive. If you're a plus-sized bride-to-be, I highly recommend Brides by Young. They'll go above and beyond to ensure you find a dress that makes you feel stunning on your big day.
Plus-Size Brides look no further! This store is absolutely everything you could dream of when looking for a wedding gown. There are so many options to choose from, which is refres...
hing for plus-size women who normally don't have a lot of options. I felt so welcome and comfortable at the store and didn't feel self-conscious at all while working with my consultant. They were so gracious in allowing my bridesmaids and mom to bring in champagne while I tried on dresses and really involved them in the process. My first time there I didn't think I would find my gown but I did. However, my mother in law wasn't present for this as she came in the day after to go shopping some more. The store graciously allowed me to come back the next day and show my future mother in law different dresses so she could too share in the experience with me. I was so grateful for this. I had such an amazing experience with this store and highly recommend it to anyone.
My girls and I had a fabulous time with sales manager Jessica! She was absolutely wonderful! I was happy to make the sale with her and say yes to my dress! She was attentive, perso...

Very nice and easy to work with. Effectively communicated to get to what I wanted and answered my questions promptly. Very nice staff.

Great store. Great salespeople. Great dresses. It was so nice to go in and see so many options for fuller figured girls. I just hate stores that relegate you to a “plus size” secti...

ubsided. They listened to what I wanted, and found the most perfect dress for me. The whole process of alterations and dress fittings were just as seamless. Plus sized brides, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Laura was absolutely amazing to work with!! She had me feeling so snatched and confident every step!! I’ve been waiting for the “bridal moment” where I’m just 100% certain that thi...

I didn't end up getting my dress here due to my very sad budget but I will say, out of all 5 places I went looking for a dress this place was the BEST experience I had the whole ti...
me looking. Madison was the sweetest and nicest person, and they all made me feel so beautiful! I ran her ragged, looking for sleeves and additions for the dress I was looking at, and her smile never wavered! They were so helpful and understanding and nice. If you're looking for your Klinefeld experience in Indiana, this is your place. Especially if you're a bigger girl. They will make you feel like the queen you are !
Everyone was so nice! I was extremely comfortable during my whole appointment and even found my dream dress! I definitely recommend Brides by Young!
Laura was absolutely incredible. She made shopping extremely stress free and I felt absolutely beautiful in everything I put on. So thankful she helped me find my dream dress!
I was surprised by all the options that were available to me! And the staff was the best, everyone was so nice!
Kate was amazing and I found my dream dress!

look and feel gorgeous. She was meant to do this for a living she will have you leaving the store ready for your day!
As a plus size bride, I had many concerns as I was considering my experience finding my dress. Trust me…I worried about EVERYTHING. However, as I entered the store all my insecurit...
ies, fears, and worries began to settle. Laura (my stylist) took the time to get to know me personally. She listened to what I hoped for in a dress: the feeling and the look. All the dresses she pulled had some element of what I wanted in my dress. She saved the best for last! I said yes to my dress and I am so excited to walk down the aisle feeling beautiful and confident. Not to mention, I can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction when those doors open!
Holy cow! I have never felt so welcomed in a clothing store before! I went in so nervous that I really just wanted to run away but the ladies here are AMAZING!!
This was the most welcoming environment that any plus size bride could ask for. All of the employees were so friendly and kind. Laura was my consultant and she was excellent. She t...
ook the time to understand my taste and curated a fun, diverse selection of dresses to try. The staff was so patient as I tried on dresses and decided which one was perfect. I would recommend Brides By Young to every plus size bride.
Laura was FANTASTIC! she really took the time to get to know me and my style and was able to help me pick the dress of my dreams! So inclusive and seriously a delight to work with!...
Couldn’t recommend enough
All I can say is this place is amazing for all plus size brides. From the moment I walked in I was treated as an actual bride and person. Our consultant asked questions to get to a...
feeling of what I wanted and I felt heard. I wanted floral and elegant dresses. She listened when I told her what I was comfortable with. She pulled 7 dresses for me to try all meeting my expectations and they were ALL beautiful dresses I felt beautiful in all of them. The conservations we had were genuine and it was like I was talking with a friend. When Kate had me try on my dress it was one she had pulled that I was not quite sure about as it was fitted. She told me to trust her and oh my gosh was she right. I went in with a certain style in mind but ended up finding my dream dress in a style that was unexpected I could not recommend this place more. I am so happy I said yes to my dress and when they tell you that you just know when it's your dress they are right. I ugly cried so hard
I have to say hands down best experience I’ve had. They were all so nice and helpful and truly listened to me and what I wanted. I’m beyond grateful I was able to find the perfect ...

I was very nervous about trying on dresses. Being a plus size girl it's hard finding things that look good you and that makes you feel beautiful. I was worried they wouldn't h...
ave anything I was looking for. I sat down with Desiree and told her everything I wanted and didn't. I was amazed how she heard what I said and didn't say. She helped me find the dress dress that made me cry not once but twice. When she pulled the entire look together I knew I came to the right place. Thank you! Desiree you were wonderful and made me feel BEAUTIFUL all day. Haven't stop smiling.
I don't know if I can put into words how wonderful my experience was. I came down on a whim, having just a few hours to spare. They were able to fit me in perfectly! Kate was incre...

Drove to Indy from Louisville because of all the great things I’ve heard about Brides By Young. Lauren was FANTASTIC and definitely made an overwhelming situation so effortless. I ...
ended up with a dress for my elopement that I would have NEVER even considered if she hadn’t pulled it. Not only did she listen to my feedback and vision, she also was able to handle all of my sarcasm and blunt opinions along the way. Thanks Lauren!
Kate was my associate. I tried on about 20 dresses before I got to her. I never felt that bridal moment until I came to Kate. She was super attentive and LISTENED to me. She was ab...
