I’ve been here 3 times and the final time was to try on what I thought was THE dress one more time before purchase, but I got a new consultant who maybe some would consider helpful...
, but my sister in law and I were just offended at how much she overshared her opinion and basically straight up tore apart my body image in every dress that was under $2000. The first two times I came my consultant was an absolute sweetheart whose only opinion was to state why she liked what I tried on, and only then it was when I asked for it. The final time my new consultant would not even let me leave the room at times without telling me “Oh. Well we know that is NOT the one.” When I tried on the dress I fell in love with, as she was zipping it she went on a rant about how it did nothing for my body and how if I even WANTED to make it work it would be soooooo many alterations and even then it would barely pass. When I found a dress that passed her expectations and I also liked, she handed it to the very petite bride in the same room as me and told her how gorgeous she would look in that dress and I had to watch as she modeled it for her entourage and everyone including my consultant swooned over her.
Unfortunately even though I was in love with my experiences the first two visits, I can not go back again due to how humiliated I felt the final time I came. I couldn’t even stand on the pedestal and look at myself as I was being torn apart. I think she was trying to be “helpful” by wanting me to look my absolute best, but no comments were constructive and she severely overstepped.
I bought all of my other formal dresses from Cherry Tree Lane throughout the years, I just knew I was going to find my dream wedding dress there too! I have always had a personal a...
nd great experience with the very helpful staff that gives you the time and attention you need, while not being pushy or hovering. I had tried on dresses there and at other shops, but knew I always wanted a dress with lace sleeves which is hard to find around here. My consultant pulled the only two they knew they had and I also pulled some other styles. But then I found MY dress tucked amongst the others on the rack! It fit everything I wanted that was way out of my budget at another shop, and happened to be under budget! 😍 I had my bridal moment and am so happy I had it in such a great, locally owned shop run by sweet people. ❤

me to come in as soon as they opened, knowing that I only had a short time to look I suddenly felt worried that I would not be able to find the dress of my dreams.The staff at Cherry Tree came up to me cheerfully and very bubbly and told me not to panic.

Cherry Tree Lane was so good to me! It's been so nice to be free to do other wedding things while knowing that my dress is in good hands.
My initial shopping experience with Cherry Tree Lane was excellent. They had lots of vintage lace style dresses to choose from and all types of sizes. They were super helpful but n...
ot overbearing or pushy! The shopping experience was a million times better than the first bridal salon I tried. My only complaint is alterations. They do not have a seamstress but instead work with several different seamstresses. The seamstress they recommended to me did all of my alterations while I was at the store. Some people may like the convenience of that, but I felt like she rushed the alterations. In fact I had to have some of the alterations re-done by a local seamstress. The bussel (which was the most expensive part of my alterations) broke within 15 min of my reception.
That being said, if you know a great wedding seamstress that could alter your dress for you, I would definitely shop at Cheery Tree Lane. I loved my dress and I loved shopping there, I just wasn't fond of the alteration process. I also got my bridesmaids dresses there and they were gorgeous!
I received very pretty bridesmaid dresses here.
