When I first got engaged, the idea of dress shopping filled me with both excitement and a bit of dread. The feeling of dread quickly disappeared when I stepped into Chantilly Place. I had stopped in to pick up a bridesmaid dress and had seen an... advertisement for a sample sale. I was curious to see what the shop had to offer, but had low expectations because I am not what the fashion world would consider to be a "sample size". I was greeted with a warm welcome, big smiles, and best of all, a wide variety of dresses to choose from! The gowns I tried on were gorgeous, and the size range was impressive. The feedback I received from Colleen as I tried each dress on was honest and appreciated on my end, as I chose not to bring an entire entourage with me for this. The final dress I tried on was "the" one. We all knew it as I stepped out and looked in the mirror.
From that point on it was a very smooth, enjoyable process. My bridesmaids were able to select a beautiful Bill Levkoff dress that looked incredible on everyone, and my maids of honors shined in their sequined gowns. Colleen and her staff are knowledgeable, kind, and extremely accessible and easy to communicate with. They were always happy to answer any question and work with us to solve any issues that arose.
Chantilly Place is unlike any other bridal shop I have been to. It is so refreshing to see a business that embraces women of all shapes and sizes, and works to make everyone feel special and unique. With each visit to Chantilly Place I left feeling beautiful and confident, which is not the norm for most shopping experiences.
My Casablanca gown was the first thing I purchased for our wedding, and I am so thankful to Colleen and everyone at Chantilly Place for helping me find my dream gown. As a non-traditional bride who was planning a superhero wedding, you truly helped find the dress that made me feel beautiful and flawless. My husband commented on how much he loved my dress all night, and my guests gushed over it as well. Thank you for helping make me feel like a true princess, and for being so incredible during our planning process. I continue to recommend Chantilly Place to all future brides I meet!
