Absolutely amazing experience here. This was only the second bridal store I had been to and I loved it. I felt so beautiful the entire time and honestly expected to take longer to find a dress but NOPE! I found the MOST PERFECT dress here I’m so excited to wear it for my wedding day and I’m even more excited for my Fiancé and all of my loved ones to see me in it as well❤️❤️🥹

Every bride deserves to experience shopping at Brilliant Bridal at least once. Keira helped me throughout the entire process. She paid attention to my style, my mood, and what I was looking for, and together we found the perfect dress for my wedding.
I originally went in just to browse, but I walked out with my dream dress. Brides, if you're still searching, there's a good chance your dress is waiting for you at Brilliant Bridal!

I arrived to Brilliant Bridal hoping to find my dream dress and I did! Gerneshia was the BEST stylist I could have asked for. She listened to me so well and helped triage my larger...
group of guests and their requests. I felt heard and beautiful. I was so scared that this experience would hurt my confidence, but it was actually boosted! I felt so excited and cared for. I was able to try on over 10 dresses during my appointment and they had so many different styles and sizes! I am so grateful that I was able to get the dress of my dreams (with pockets!!) for an affordable price. I highly recommend working with the amazing Gerneshia and becoming a Brilliant Bride!

end booking your appointment during the Bridal Extravaganza, because they offer a show discount! Or, if you wait until the end of the year (timeframe may change on this), they have a $95 sale!
Love this store, and the gals who work there!

l beyond special. They only hold dresses for 24 hours, but held it a bit longer for me because my mom couldn't come in 24 hours. If you want to find the dress of your dreams at the price of your dreams, this is where you want to go. Gerneshia helped me, and she was the sweetest. I did not feel pressured, I felt valued.

The customer service is horrible and I never made it to my appointment. I scheduled my wedding dress evenot in January with all my details for my date and my guests. I was contacte...
d a day before my event via text message that accommodations would not be available for my day and time. I approached the situation letting the staff member who was messaging me via text know that it was inappropriate and inconsiderate for the establishment. She proceeded to inform me that a call was made 4 days prior. This lack of professionalism left me without an appointment to view and purchase my wedding gown scrambling to find another venue at the very last minute. I most definitely will not ever refer anyone here just my personal opinion and experience.
