Bride's Choice

I bought my dress from BHLDN and asked the store where they send their customers for tailoring. I called and they fit me in within a week of calling. Z was absolutely phenomenal. So caring and professional. She also offers a beautiful selection of gowns. I highly recommend Bride's Choice for all of your bridal needs!

I have purchased three bridal gowns at Bride's Choice; one for a daughter; a second for a niece; and a third for another daughter. The gowns are high-quality and elegant. For religious reasons, the gowns had to have shoulders and sleeves. Zee and Maria searched the stock for what we needed. Each gown had been reduced in price. I took each gown to a dressmaker for custom alterations. Our family is very satisfied with the merchandise and the service. It is worth a call and a trip to Bride's Choice!

Just picked up my Wedding Gown today, I am absolutely in love with it! It fits perfectly. Zee was very helpful from day 1. I would definitely recommend her bridal boutique!

I cannot say enough positive things about Zee and the entire team at Bride's Choice. My fiance and I were heading off to the Caribbean to get married this past December and had decided we wanted a wedding with just the two of us. Because of this, I let the dress shopping go by the wayside far longer than I should have to prepare! I started looking for a dress in early October. The first time I went to the shop, I was a little worried because it appeared somewhat small. DO NOT LET THAT FOOL YOU! I was taken upstairs and immediately saw hundreds and hundreds of gowns that the shop holds on hand. They do special ordering too - but I certainly didn't have enough time for anything like that! A wonderful young woman named Maria listened to what was important to me and started bringing me dresses to try that fit what I was asking for as I described what I had in mind. It took over ten dresses, but I finally found exactly what I wanted. The next several weeks, Zee and her team spent hours and hours altering the dress along with multiple fittings for me as certain 'parts' of the alterations were complete. They really went above and beyond and were flexible with times they would meet with me (I was driving down each time from the Portland, ME area). Again, don't be fooled by how this place may appear from the outside -- their inventory, experience, customer service and knowledge are top notch! Zee and Maria were just wonderfully warm people, too! I'm so happy I came across Bride's Choice!

Bride's Choice is Terrific! I called them and asked if I could stop by the shop at that moment essentially moving my appointment up 3 hours and they said it was no problem. I worked with Maria and also received special attention from the owner Z. Maria was amazing she was patient and listened to what I liked. As she brought me the dresses each one got closer and closer to "The one!" The dress I really wanted was over budget but Z gave me significant discounts to help stay within budget! She also let me pay in installments. I also purchased my vail there and Z gave me $100 off the head piece which I will purchase later! I can't say enough about Bride's Choice Maria was very attentive and so easy to work with and Z was absolutely terrific. I had such a wonderful experience with them!

We planned our wedding within 2 months and Bride's Choice made it possible for me to have the wedding dress that I wanted. With just a short amount of time Bride's Choice tracked down my wedding dress in my size and had it fitted and ready for me in time for my wedding. The owner really went out of her way to make sure that I had my dress in time. Typically wedding dresses take several months to come in after ordering however Bride's Choice wanted to do everything that they can to make sure my wedding day was extra special and found my dress and had it delivered within 1 month! Thank you so much! Lucia Marano xo

When driving up to Brides Choice for the first time, I never thought I would find my dress here.. But LO and behold! Zee and her gang were fantastic. Very communicative with me, took their time in alterations, were able to special order things for me. I know that the alterations on my dress were very time consuming, so was expecting a HUGE alterations bill. But NO she cut me a fantastic deal! This place is very personal and I would highly recommnend going - for the value as well as for the customer service.

The owner, Z, and her ladies at Bride's Choice absolutely made finding my dress one of the best parts of preparing for my wedding!!! I went to a few places before I found Bride's Choice but I wasn't finding exactly what I wanted. When I met with Z, I had an idea in my mind, but I still wasn't sure. After pulling dozens of dressed, trying them all on and offering my different likes/dislikes, she told me she had the dress for me. She brought it to my fitting room and when I walked out, my family was in tears. It was the dress!! And I wouldn't have found it without Z! I also decided to get the bridesmaid dresses and tuxedos from Bride's Choice since Z was so amazing. Over the course of the year, I had multiple visits, fittings, and phone calls with Bride's Choice. Every single one was a positive experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Bride's Choice to all brides out there in search of a personal touch in their gown experience.

This is a great little wedding dress shop - don’t overlook it. Zee, the Owner, has had years of experience and they have a great selection. With limited time to look for a dress, we made an appointment at the last minute. Maria, the assistant, was so sweet and patient, listening to what my daughter wanted and finally brought out the perfect Maggie Sottero gown. Then Zee, the Owner came out and helped. She measured and fitted so that minimal alterations were necessary. The price was reasonable, the service fantastic and the overall feeling was perfect. Zee is experienced, talented and sweet. My daughter looked amazing.

I came here with my mother and sister and it was the second shop we looked at. We went on a Friday and had the shop to ourselves. We were able to pick out a lot of dresses. Then when I started trying them on Zee helped with suggesting some others. I was torn between 2 great gowns and having help from my family and Zee really helped me decide. I had a really great experience that first day. I returned to pay my balance and brought some of my bridesmaids with me to show them the dress. The shop was very busy so we had to wait a little which was understandable. But the woman who helped us happen to complain about the last group she was helping which wasn't very professional. When I went for my 1st fitting I arrived an hour late due to traffic but Zee was very understanding and helped me when I arrived anyway. The shop it a bit warm when you are standing around in your dress for the fitting. Also as mentioned in other reviews the fittings are during week days only. This worked ok for my schedule but may not work for everyone. For my last fitting my mother and I arrived on time but they kept us waiting for a while. Zee apologized and i didn't mind the wait (we kept them waiting the last time!) but my mother was upset about it. Overall great shop! Some mixed experience with the service but I really would recommend it and I loved my dress and veil!

Bride's Choice was the first place I went looking for my wedding gown. They were helpful and were respectful of what I was looking for in a dress. I tried on many dresses during my appointment and each time was asked what I liked and didn't like, helping the choice of the next dress. I ended up liking one dress, leaving for another appointment somewhere else, and then called later on to come back to try on the one dress I liked. When I was waiting for a dressing room (as there were back to back appointments on a Saturday), I saw a girl trying on a dress and I knew that was the one I wanted. I asked to try it on and fell in love. I ended up having 2 appointments in one day and it was amazing. I went back with all my bridesmaids to find their dress and we were able to go in the back and pick out tons of dresses to try on. Again, the staff was helpful and kind. Each fitting was great too. I'm so happy to have found the dress of my dreams at Bride's Choice.

I went in to the salon with my mom (who also got her dress there many years ago) and felt right at home. I found a huge selection of gowns at great prices and Zee was absolutely amazing! She helped me find the gown that was right for me (and not trying to sell the most expensive). I never felt pressured to make a decision right then or to make a certain decision. My experience was so relaxed and pleasant that I decided to bring all of my bridesmaids back for their dresses. I am beyond thrilled with all of the dresses and would highly recommend Bride's Choice to anyone looking for a bridal gown or bridesmaids dresses!

I will preface this review by saying that my dress was absolutely stunning, but I owe that to Maggie Sottero. The process of getting my dress and subsequent alterations through Bride's Choice was painful. I had found the dress with my mom on our first visit and returned a few days later with my bridemaids to make a final decision and also pick out their dresses. Z, the owner, proposed that if all my girls ordered their dresses that day and I bought my dress, she would comp the price of my veil and also take $150 (give or take) off the alterations. It was my mistake for not getting this in more clear writing than the sales girls chicken scratch. Of course with an offer like that and already loving the dress, I agreed. I ordered that day, as did my girls. The way my girls were sized made NO sense. My maid of honor is, at most, a size 8 and they ordered her dress a size 16 because she has large breasts. I can understand that it is easier to remove material than to add it in, but it ruined the shape of the dress when they then had to tailor it in. What they don't tell you ahead of time is that for bridal alterations, you can ONLY come during week days. They aren't open evenings and they refuse to see you on weekend days because they're too busy. For women that work full time, that is an insane request. Who has the time to take off to do that?? Further, one of my girls called and made an appointment to pick up her dress early one evening right before Christmas. When she arrived, they had already closed. She lives an hour from the shop and had left work early. When she called the next day to find out what happened, they offered no apology and simply said that because things get quiet during the holiday season they had decided to leave early that day even though she had an appointment. They just told her to come in later that day. So when I finally was able to take time off of work as they weren't willing to accodomate my work schedule, I arrived to find out that they had never ordered my veil, NOR was there any record of which veil I'd chosen OR that I was supposed to be comped a veil. There was some chicken scratch indicating the alteations, but Z argued that normally it's EITHER the alteratinons or the veil, not both. Well, this is not the deal that was proposed when they were trying to sell me the dress. Again, I should have had this in better writing. She finally agreed. Then, instead of ordering the veil I had chosen, she insisted that I take the one that all the brides had been trying on. Seriously? This is my only negative wedding review. I am certainly not the type of person that enjoys writing negative reviews on the internet of every small thing that doesn't meet their expectations, but as a bride, anything to do with the gown is huge.

the store mainly carries more affordable dresses; the designs are not that great; the service is so-so. The store has a bit of run down feel and look, making overall a not so special experience.

Let me start by saying I was the worlds most indecisive bride. Before going to Bride's Choice I had gone to 6 different bridal shops and tried on so many dresses, each was gorgeous and lovely and fit well, but something was missing. Bridal's Choice not only had the best selection of dresses including maggie sorrentino but the service was amazing, I found my dress not because they had the gorgeous one that looked great and fit my personality but becuase they took the time to get to know me find a dress that was what I wanted made me feel special and beautiful and where just wonderful to deal with. The people working there are so nice and attentive I was able to feel like a bride and they helped me see myself in each dress as a bride they where detailed oriented, and could see what I needed, the dress I feel in love with had a ribbon when I put it on they could see in my face I loved it but was not sure they talked to me got to know what I wanted and so they quickly pulled out a slightly lighter ribbon and said try it with this, at that moment I knew it was my dress it was the detail and attention that helped me find it. I truly believe I could have tried on that dress in another store and walked away just unsure as before, but instead they helped me make it my own dress and I fell in love. The saddest part of my wedding being over for me is that I loved my dress so much I just want to wear it all the time. They also do the tailoring in house so from the beginning I had someone who could help me add details pull it in just right so I could imagine it the way it was gonna be. Since I am so indicative I of course cut it close to when I needed it to be ordered they worked with my time frame helped me when I need it, found the perfect dress vial, tailoring, and service all in one place. If I could do it all again I would skip going to the 6 other places save my energy and go to Bride's Choice right away

When we first walked into the shop they were pretty helpful, we chose a bunch of bridesmaids dresses to try on. When we finally found one, everyone got measured. One of the girls had to leave early so she just got measured and left. When it came to choosing a size they had me call her to ask her what size she wanted, when she chose the smaller of the two options the lady made me tell her that she had to lost weight in order to get that size. How rude! Why did you give her a choice then? Once the dresses came in, which took FOREVER, the girls went to pick them up. My maid of honor went and got hers and it would not even come close to zipping up. When she told them, they had insinuated that she gained weight. When she went in to get measure she had only gained 1/2 and inch and it wasnt even in the place that the zipper wouldn't close. When she was ordering she wanted the bigger size, but they steered her towards the smaller. It took a lot out of them and a big fight for them to order her extra fabric, once that came in they were going to charge her to get it taken out! The way they handled the whole situation left a sour taste in my mouth and it was totally disrespectful of her to tell someone to lose weight. I would never go there in a million years and I would never wish that expeirence on anyone!

I highly recommend Bride's Choice salon in Waltham. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. They were accommodating for all of my bridesmaids. Most importantly, we looked at the same dresses at 4 other salons, and Bride's Choice was the cheapest. It was a pleasure working with them, as they provided exceptional customer service. I would recommend them to any bride and bridesmaid.

I've passed by Bride's choice many times as I live in the area, so it was on my list of places to check out while dress shopping. I've gone to 2-3 salons (including the infamous Priscilla of Boston) and was royally disappointed with limited selection, 'weird' styles and high prices. Bride's Choice in waltham offers a HUGE selection of bridal gowns as well as bridesmaid dresses of all styles! I was easily (in 2 hours at the salon) able to find the dress of my dreams. Z, the owner of the salon, has owned the store for a long time and has over 20 years of experience with bridal gowns - she was very helpful and supportive during the process of choosing a gown as well as some alterations and had to be done once the dress arrived. I also got my veil there as well which they altered for me for free (I only wanted 2 layers of it, not 3) and which perfectly matched my dress. I'm very happy with the salon and recommend it to any bride looking for a large selection and a great deal!

I wasted so much time going to so many shops, and I wish I had gone to Bride's Choice first. The staff was incredibly helpful, they had the exact dress I wanted, and when that didn't work, Zee suggested a different dress which ended up being the one I purchased! She knows her stuff about weddings and it was great to be able to trust her. Many people have said they had to wait 10 minutes or that she's blunt about weight, but that's what helped me stay in check. Their prices are the best and the service I received for alterations was good too! I got all my bridesmaids dresses and tuxedo rentals from here too.

My experience with Zee, the manager, was nothing short of strange. Although I did like the selections and pricing they had at this place, I ended up waiting 9 months for my (very SIMPLE) dress to come in. This was partly the fault of the designer, but I was told by the store that I would have the dress in April ... then June, July, and so on, and there was never any hint of apology about the delays. Zee is probably a little too blunt/grumpy to be dealing with brides (although perhaps her attitude is a result of dealing with brides...), and essentially called me fat on more than one occasion (I was a street size 6 at the time). She also wanted to charge us for the rushed shipping so that we could finally get the dress TWO WEEKS before my September wedding (I had ordered in November the year before)! She did end up paying the shipping, and the dress turned out great, but I still don't think buying from Bride's Choice was worth the extra stress.

On the positive side, there was a wonderful selection at Bride's Choice and I got my dress for a VERY low price without sacraficing on quality. However, you need thick skin to deal with the alterations. At my first fitting I was told flat out that it would be good if I lost 5 lbs (I was a size 6 at the time) and then at the next fitting after I DID manage to lose 7 lbs I was told 'do not lose any more weight but don't gain any weight either, stay exactly the same' which is a bit of an added stress to a bride. Every time I went there I had an appointment but each time had to wait at least 10 minutes before anyone could see me. I would recommend going here to purchase your dress but find a separate taylor for alterations. The cost includes alterations.

It started with an impossible to maneuver parking lot that appeared to be completely filled with staff cars. We ended up having to park 2 blocks away & trek back. The girl who "helped" me seemed completely uninterested in assisting me to find a dress, and my Maid of Honor was left to do the pinning of the dresses. The prices were great, but the quality of the dresses and service wasn't. You get what you pay for, I guess.

Best prices out there;Sometimes it was too hot in the shop
