I would come here 100 times to get my dress altered. Other than being just a bit too pricy I love this place. I also love Sue, Kenneth, and Kathleen! They were so welcoming to anyone who walked through their door. I could talk to them for hours...

My experience at Carolyn Allen's was amazing. I had visited a lot of bridal stores before arriving at Carolyn Allen and I was feeling defeated in my dress search. When I arrived at Carolyn Allen's the staff was extremely friendly. They gave me ...
time to look through their inventory and then brought out each dress I wanted to try on. They have a huge selection of dresses in all types of styles and this was the first time in my search that I loved every dress I tried on. I was able to find my perfect wedding dress and Sue did an amazing job on my alterations to make it fit like a dream. I also had an outfit change and they were able to alter that to make sure that it was the perfect fit. We loved our experience so much at Carolyn Allen's that we went back to look and select a dress for my maid of honor as well as rent tuxs for the groom and best man. After my wedding I brought the dress back to Carolyn Allen's were they sent it off to be preserved with my vail. I just received it back and it looks just as beautiful as the day I picked it out at the store. I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff at Carolyn Allen. They truly make you feel like family. If you are looking for the best bridal and tuxedos store and experience look no further then Carolyn Allen.

A few days after the wedding I simply called the store and they scheduled Sue to come back the next day to pick my dress up from the Bell Services desk. They are doing the preservation and then shipping my dress to me. I did not have to worry about lugging my large gown all the way home from Disney! When Sue picked up my gown she texted me so I'd be aware. A++ service from the Carolyn Allen team- especially Sue!!!

Look no further for your wedding dress boutique. This bridal salon is family owned and operated and you get that special personalized feel the moment you walk in. I tried on 10 dresses (that I selected from a book they made me sticky note) and ...
thought the 10th dress was the one, I was done. They put an 11th dress in my fitting room and insisted I try it on, they were right. I bought the 11th dress (which I had not initially chosen). It was the best decision I made and I received tons of compliments on my wedding dress.

as surprised to find that they had all the dresses I had been pinning on pinterest! I decided on a Stella York gown, and I was impressed by the reasonable prices. Even the extensive alterations were well below my budget. The entire team there makes you feel like part of a family. Their goal is to make sure you love how you look and that the dress fits perfectly. I am a petite, plus-size girl, and I never thought I would feel as beautiful as I did. I loved my dress but I was hoping for a more modest neckline. They recommended a custom alteration using beaded sleeves as an addition to the neckline. The end result was gorgeous! They were patient with me at each fitting and you could tell that they genuinely cared about the customers and the work they did. Their attention to detail and genuine care is more than I ever expected. They have my highest recommendation, and I cannot thank them enough!

t married, I knew this was the place to go. The veil was one of the most important things about my wedding. I really wanted a cathedral veil with lace starting at the fingertips. Everywhere I went, those veils were over $1000 and that was waaayyyy out of my budget. The veils I did find that were within my budget were awful and cheap-looking. Sue suggested we make our own. I ordered a veil from them and at their suggestion, I went to the Sewing Studio in Maitland and picked out beautiful lace. Sue cut the lace and sewed it onto the veil... I literally cried when I saw it. It was one of the most beautiful veils I'd ever seen. We also did our tuxedo rentals with Carolyn Allen's and they were perfect!

Don't sweat the fear of needing alterations as Sue is a perfectionist and very affordable. My fiancé insisted on comparing prices of the tuxedos at chain stores, thinking our out of town bridal party could be better accommodated. What he found was far less quality for the same price or even more expensive. We had 20 people in our party and only 2 lived locally. Everyone was able to easily order online and raved of the service when they came for fittings. (Dresses could be shipped to or held upon arrival.) Support your local business, be treated like the individual you are, and indulge in the luxury of Carolyn Allen's for your special day and you won't be disappointed!

I hadn't found anything close to it. I found a dress on sale here that I could see was a good base for what I wanted, and as I described to them what I imagined, they said they could create it no problem! I got the dress super cheap since it was a sample, and then Sue worked on making all the adjustments I wanted, such as adding lace cap sleeves with a keyhole back. I purchased the lace myself and then took it back to the store for Sue, and she did an AMAZING job working with the lace to create the look I wanted. She got all the details right! She also encouraged me to get the shoes I wanted (lace booties since my dress was tea length) when every else discouraged me. Now every time I show someone pictures, one of the first things they comment on is how cool the boots are! Everyone there is so wonderful, kind, and helpful! It was a great experience and they work really hard to make you happy! I would recommend this to any bride looking for a more personal dress experience!

ventually purchased the very first dress she had had me try on (a David Tutera for Mon Cheri style)! I am absolutely in love with my dress and the way it turned out thanks to the staff at Carolyn Allen’s. Sue, the head of this family-run bridal shop, does the best job on alterations that I have ever seen. She is so thorough and knowledgeable, and really listens to you to make sure that you are feeling your absolute best when you step into your gown on your wedding day. I had three separate fittings with them after my dress came in, just to ensure that every last measurement and detail was perfect, and then they steamed my dress and veil once more before the big day. I am so glad that I found them, as I think that finding a staff that cares so deeply about their clientele is rare to find these days. Their results speak for themselves, and the value you get with them is absolutely unbeatable.
