Brides Of France

irls... we all think, we know what "magical" dress we want, but that doesn't mean that style will look "magical" on you. I truly felt that Jill wouldn't let someone purchase a bridal gown that wasn't absolutely stunning on them. Jill expertise on bridal gowns and the designers is a talent, all-in-itself!! A wonderful experience at Brides of France!!

ing the owner Jill were very attentive and made me feel at home in the store as I tried on my dress. They even let me come back another day before it opened so that I could try on my dress with my wedding party! My sister also found her dress at Brides of France and we encountered the same high level of service as she chose her dress. I also ended up using their seamstress Kay for my dress alterations and was very impressed with her diligence and communication while she worked to get my dress done on time for our wedding. The dress ended up fitting me like a glove!

during such a stressful time and I cannot thank them enough!

ees were so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. They did not rush me or make me feel like I needed to purchase anything. They let me stay in the gown as long as I wanted. The second dress I tried on I got! A beautiful boho dress from Spain.

hs and recommended an amazing tailor as well, conveniently below the shop! They have incredible bridal accessories and veils that I wasn’t expecting but was pleasantly surprised. Check this place out, they have dresses for every budget . I wanted a dress from Spain and they had them! I love this place ❤️❤️

a highly overrated Minneapolis bridal salon, and a devastating alteration job that destroyed my original wedding gown, I sobbed my way into Brides of France only 4 days before I walked down the aisle. I didn’t even think it was a possibility to find and alter a new gown with less than 4 days before my wedding, but Bonnie, Jill and their incredible seamstress, Kay, made it happen for me. From the moment I walked into this boutique, until the second I left the store, I was treated like a princess. Every gown I tried on, Jill and Bonnie gave me their undivided attention and went above and beyond to ensure that I felt beautiful, confident, and comfortable. I left Brides of France with my DREAM dress, a dress I never ever envisioned myself in, but it was beyond stunning. And Kay altered it beautifully to fit my body - in less than 4 days!!! Thank you, Bonnie, Jill and Kay. You made my day perfect and my husband sobbed like a baby when he saw me. Winning!

find it in a gorgeous Mikaella gown. The feeling of putting on a dress and knowing immediately the it was the one I was going to get married in is a feeling I will never forget. I am so grateful for the personal attention Jill gave me, the honest input and advice she shared, and her suggestions for how to personalize my dress to make it truly “the one." Jill's customer service and knowledge of the dresses they carry is unmatched. The way in which they worked with my mom and I was not only professional, it was fun. Jill, thank you for helping me find the dress of my dreams; I felt so beautiful on my wedding day.

tion I needed to make a decision, such as how I could personalize my dress (extending train, adding buttons, custom cutting necklines, etc.). She knew so much about the gowns because she only carries two designers. Additionally, she wasn't concerned about how long it took for me to decide. I came in three times and bought the dress on my third visit, and she was so patient, understanding, and helpful. In all three of my visits, I saw her exercise impeccable customer service with each and every bride. I would recommend this shop to any bride who is looking for a dress in the $1800-$2500ish price range.

ies area. Jill and her team are fantastic and made me feel very special from the first time I walked through their doors to try on my future wedding dress, through dress pick up, and picking out accessories. I would highly recommend all brides to take a look here, you will not be disappointed and perhaps, like me, find the dress of your dreams!

red that the wedding dress industry was not made for me and most bridal salons did not mind making me feel as though I had missed the boat and would need to just settle for some off-the-rack disaster of a dress and that the damage of 100 fittings "might" be able to be repaired by a seamstress. It was depressing. That is until my mom and I just decided to stop by Brides of France without an appointment on a Friday afternoon. The staff was fantastic! They started by immediately directing me to dresses that could be ordered and expedited within 8 weeks. That's right, a custom dress just for me! They carry the most wonderfully curated selection of dresses and nothing about their shop is like the big box experience. You can see that each dress and accessory has been selected for a specific reason. I received personal attention and they even gave suggestions on alterations and styling. I had wanted a vintage-inspired lace dress and I found the most beautiful Mikaella gown. I cannot say enough about how wonderful my dress shopping experience was! They also directed me to my seamstress, Kay who was exceptionally talented! I highly recommend this shop!

d helpful without being pushy. Busy store on the weekends but still got us in!

dresses far too small or too big to imagine what they would really look like. Here I was able to really imagine what my dress would look like on me, and the small changes I wanted to have done were so easy. The consultant I used there, Sharon did alterations for my wedding party as well.

e seamstress. they are not the place to go if you don't have months to wait for a dress and aren't a small size, however.

g name shops in Minneapolis and this was the best as far as service. They took time with me and worked with my budget, they also have an amazing consignment selection.

0. They had great customer service & no appointment was necessary!

ore) and that's where I tried on my dress. It was the first one I tried. I was devastated when it tore on the corner of their unfinished dressing room (they just opened). They were sorry about it and the alteration lady (AWESOME) who lives in the neighborhood and comes over quite often, fixed it no problem. They were an awesome team, professional and dow-to-earth, and they only carry these dresses from Spain. Mine was a La Sposa. LOVE IT STILL even though the straps kind of dug into my shoulders all night. Vintage -lace styled but with Spanish detailed lace and quite a few unique layers of tulle (one was dotted and one was accordian). I just loved it all. The drive was a little rough but for as much money I saved having a gorgeous designer dress of my dreams, I can't complain ($900). Ok I just changed from 4 stars to 5 because I am happy! Oh and found the perfect veil there (had been looking everywhere) when I came back for my 1st and only fitting!

ness is evident in their service. I felt that they were honest about how the dress looked on me and went with what I wanted. It wasn't pushy or fake in any way. And now their stores are right next to each other on France Ave in Edina!

h one, and did everything they could to make the process as easy as possible. And I found my dress!

he was incredibly helpful in trying on different styles and helping me pick one out. She also sold us the sample for 30% off, which was fantastic. I ended up picking out a gorgeous veil by Paloma Blanco and I couldn't be happier.

ate for a better price on it. Bonnie was fantastic, patient, responsive, and helpful whenever i needed anything.

e dresses (at least at the Edina location) were organized by size. Therefore, there were several dresses I couldn't try on because they were too small, which was really disappointing.

n about my dress. I appreciated her help and guidance. When I went back to make my purchase, the owner was a bit more abrasive, which was a bit disappointing.

of France was incredable!

aff is excellent; knowledgeable and friendly.

ng a sale and purchase my jewelry, my garter, a fascinator AND my mother's shoes here! I highly recommend!

up one of my bridesmaids dresses, they didnt apologize, and they didnt make it better.

hey had an array of accessories and I fell in love with the shop right away. I highly recommend any bride going there that's on a budget and wants something different. I will cherish my dress forever:)) xx Em

ll" me on a dress. 4th dress I tried on was the one and we were done.

nk I was lucky to find it. I bought a consignment piece and ended up getting a great deal for what the dress originally costed.

dresses we tried on. My dress was beautiful! they have their own seamstress too, and she was a delight to work with.

lpful and patient as I tried on many dresses and ended up with a sample dress from La Sposa from the 2010 season. They gave me a discount and were very helpful to work with throughout the process. They remembered my name and were very helpful. I also purchased a veil and floral headpiece for the reception from Brides of France. They recommended a great seamstress who did my dress alterations. I always had a friendly, relaxed environment at Brides of France.

everyone could see it and they were always welcoming and helpful! They even kept my dress for a couple weeks so I could find a place to keep it until the wedding!

so made my head piece!!!!! I had somany compliments on my dress and even better....I have not ever seen one like it!!!!!!
