Country Way Bridals

ou nervous but my time spent here was incredible, and the ladies deserved to be credited for their time and effort given!!

appointments, all of whom were absolutely amazing. Yvonne knows how to make the bride feel like the bride and was one of my favorite vendors I worked with during the planning process. Not only is the staff wonderful but the dresses are stunning and the selection of veils, jewelry and hair pieces are like none other. I wish I could redo this process all together because it was that special. I found my dream dress, veil and hair piece here and would recommend this shop to ANY bride!! -- If you're considering looking for alterations somewhere else... don't... because Maria is seriously talented and will make your dress seem as if it was tailored to you. (I am very petite and my dress had to come down several sizes but you would never have noticed!) This shop really knows how to do business! Everything about this experience went above and beyond my expectations!!

the wedding day. All was as expected until I noticed walking down the steps to my first look that I was being stuck in the leg by pins that were left in the inside of my dress (yes, so the inside layer of my dress was never hemmed *in addition my strap kept falling down which was also supposed to be adjusted). Luckily, a bridesmaid had safety pins as was able to save the day with the skirt but I had to deal with that strap falling down the entire day. I couldn't believe I was dealing with this on my special day! My maid of honor called them and I was able to get a full refund on the alterations. Therefore, I recommend buying your dress from here as their selection is beautiful!!! But DO NOT get any alterations done.

arrival and I had to try it on!! Everyone at Country Way Bridal was truly amazing and felt like family. I'm going to miss them from Alissa to Yvonne and her daughter. Even the seamstress Maria. If you are looking for beautiful unique gowns this is a must go to boutique they have many different styles. Even my bridesmaids gowns were from here. I picked 2 different styles/designers and 2 different colors. They looked amazing together!! Literally looked like out of a bridal magazine everyone looked stunning!! I cannot thank Country Way Bridal enough!! xoxox

at our cocktail hour at least for a bit but when it came time to bustle my dress it was too long by several inches. I missed all of my cocktail hour while my dress was being pinned up. Not only did a pay quite a bit for the alterations but my photos of my first dance with my husband all I can see is the horrible bustle bunched at the bottom of my dress. I would absolutely return to Country Way to purchase but I would be very careful about alterations.

h they are always busy. They made sure I was completely satisfied with my dress as well as the alterations prior to my wedding !! I felt completely comfortable with their seamstress, Maria. She was so sweet and made sure my dress was perfect for me !! I would highly recommend this salon for any bride!

nutes. They brought one dress to me and then ignored me. One continuously brought dresses up and down to what I guess is their storage from the staircase inside my dressing room and would leave the door open to the windowed store while I was completely naked. I expressed my interest in purchasing the dress and they reminded me the dress was over 2k. I okayed this, as it was within my budget. Then they ignored me again, and I got the feeling they didn't believe I could afford it. Then they reprimanded me for trying on a dress someone already bought (I had no idea) and then I left when they didn't talk to me again. It was very uncomfortable, they had no respect for my privacy, and they ignored me the whole time even though I was obviously interested in giving them my money. Go somewhere else where people would appreciate your business.

tunning on her wedding day! Thank you so much for everything!!

y on some other beautiful dresses but I kept comparing it to the dress I found online. Long story short, Yvonne found the dress in Las Vegas, had it shipped to Country Way for one week so I could try it on before I bought it. It was everything I thought it would be and in my budget! All of my bridesmaids bought their dresses from Country Way as well, and everyone looked amazing. It was such a pleasure working with Yvonne and I'm so thankful she found my dress for me! My wedding was perfect thanks to her!!! I would recommend to anyone!

When I first went to Country Way, I gave Yvonne an idea of what I wanted which included no rhinestones, but I couldn't say no to Yvonne's sweet and charming personality when she showed me a dress with rhinestones and encouraged me to just "try" it on. Little did I know that this was going to be my wedding dress. I am so happy I listen to her and tried on the beautiful dress. Yvonne was so incredibly nice to me, my mother, sisters and all of my 11 bridesmaids. Every time we went in there, she treated us like family. Thank you Yvonne and your amazing team for making my wedding day so special. I hope to be back soon when my sisters get married!

mind)! It arrived when they estimated and the seamstress did a flawless job. I went in quite a few times before the dress arrived with questions and I never felt like nuisance. All the women that work there are beyond helpful and accommodating, especially the owner. I was adding a belt and the associate was very patient in helping me match the belt color to the dress- no pressure to buy one of their belts. This made me come back to look at veils and they had exactly what I was looking for. The bridesmaid dresses all came in in a timely matter. They made it a breeze picking a style out and all my girls looked amazing. I really cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Yvonne and team!

never turned away or treated rudely. When my gown came in, it was not made well. It sat very crooked on my waist, as though the bodice was not sewn on straight. My saleswoman agreed that she could see the issue and immediately sent it back and had an entirely new gown made. I did not have to bother them or deal with the designer at all. Luckily this was still months before the wedding, so timing was not an issue. But Country Way's immediate support, rather than pretending it wasn't a problem, was a great experience. I did not have my dress altered by CWB.

use I had a very large bridal party (10) and they were offering two things a 20 percent discount to each girl and the new Hayley Paige Occasions dresses that I was obsessed with for my girls! I scheduled my appointment for the first weekend in April and they assured me that the dresses would be in. I was disappointed to find out a week and half before my appointment that the dresses wouldn't be in and that I had to reschedule for later in the month (which I found out because I called them). So I rearranged the day to go two weeks later. My mom and I arrived early to set up our champagne only to find out that the dresses weren't there. I was disappointed yet again. I couldn't reschedule again because 8 of my bridesmaids were arriving in 10 mins. They suggested that I try on similar dresses and order the Hayley Paige Ocassion dresses which is what I did. This is where the nightmare began. The dresses took forever to come in. In the meantime, the shop told one of my bridesmaids that the dresses were being recalled. I had no idea. When the dresses came in they were HUGE on every single bridesmaid and the moonstones on the dresses were falling off. This is not Country Way's problem but they should have told me about the recall. So wedding day arrives and more than half of my girls experienced severe pain and itching all day and night. The next morning my girls had severe rashes and red marks all over their skin from the moonstones on the dresses. We called the shop on Tuesday immediately to notify them. They barely offered an apogoly and passed us off to the designer. One of my bridesmaids continued to call to speak with the shop owner. She did not reach out until Thursday, November 17th and my wedding was on Sunday, November 6th. She called me directly to apologize. Her apology goes no where in my book. I will forever be mortified that my favorite girls in my life had to experience this for my wedding.

y sister who was also my MOH. She was so nice, helpful, and honest with styles. She even told me that I was ordering my dresses a bit early because they would be in within a couple of weeks; but I wanted to get the dresses done and had her place the order. Now come mid February, the dresses still hadn't come in. They told me that the dresses would be in 6-8 weeks. I called and asked what was up and they couldn't give me a straight answer. Finally I got a call saying that my bridesmaids dresses were in but my sister's dress was not in and probably would not come in until March (my wedding was April 2). The store couldn't give my sister a straight answer on why her dress was taking so long to come in. The dress did come in, in the beginning of March. When I first placed the order back in October, I was told that I was getting my dresses too early but imagine what would have happened if I waited a couple more months to get them. They might not have gotten in on time. The store is cute and they have a good selection but their timing is very off.

envisioned my dream dress having lace straps. Luckily the team at CWB made it happen. There was some extra material from the lace jacket that came with the dress and the amazing seamstress Maria was able to create the perfect straps. She truly made the perfect dress for me. I am so happy I got my dress at CWB and trusted them to do perfect alterations and add the straps. Thank you Country Way Bridal for being such a huge part of making my wedding day perfect!

em with my bridesmaids belts with missing beads and terrible quality. They reordered them 4 different times(or they said they did, they looked liked a 2 year old glued/sewed them back together.. That's how awful they looked) which equals 20 different belts. I was still nothing more than patient and understanding with them. This issue with the belts went on for 6 months. It wasn't until I said I didn't want the belts anymore, I wanted my money back, so I could find something else for my girls. Considering I only have 2 months until my wedding. The owner told me she would only give me my money back for 4 belts not all 5. I asked her what was I supposed to do with one belt. She told me to sell it on eBay. Absolutely ridiculous.. She is the rudest, most unprofessional, owner of a bridal store I have ever meet. I don't even know how she stays in business. Needless to say she wrote me a check for all 5 belts but of course when I went to pick up the check, she was very nasty to me. I feel bad for her employees because they have to deal with her. ALSO they have this "policy" where they want you to pay for your balance in cash, you can't use a card. ( they don't tell you this until it's time to pick up your dress btw). I'm pretty sure that's illegal. they probably do it bc people disputed the charges bc they mess orders up and refused to make it right. They just blame you. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE!!!! Don't even go in. I know there are some good reviews but the ones that are bad are the ones who had a problem and the owner treated them like crap instead of trying to help them. STAY AWAY FROM THIS NIGHTMARE OF A STORE!

eel any pressure to make a decision however knew I wanted one of the 2 dresses I choose. Yvonne gave her opinion and let us take pictures which many bridal shops do not allow. Looking at the pictures I was able to finalize my decisions on my perfect and stunning dress! Prices are also very reasonable. My dress arrived earlier than expected and I was called as soon as I was in the store! Thanks for making my wedding dress shopping a pleasure! I can not be more thrilled with my dress!

make my dress perfect.

professional and I will be reporting Country Way to the Better Business Bureau. Brides and Bridesmaids beware! They are a nightmare to deal with!

que trying it on from other customers, as well as, from all of our family and friends. Living out of town, Country Way Bridal was top notch throughout all of this process to accommodate my fittings on the days and times that worked best for me. My gown unfortunately had an odor from a particular piece of fabric holding the chemicals and being transported overseas. That being said, Yvonne, the owner of this adorable boutique, went above and beyond to make sure the dress was perfect for the day of my wedding, contacting me personally numerous times to give me updates. Maria worked her seamstress magic to make it exactly the way I wanted it to fit and look. It was the most beautiful wedding dress and I was so sad when the night was over and it was time to take it off!

was never pushy. The woman who does the alterations, Maria, was incredible. My dress fit my body perfectly on my wedding day. It was a wonderful experience from day one until my wedding day.

was blamed on us even though we never even looked at or tried on the dress that came in) and the owner was more than ignorant about it. She even had the nerve to say to me "listen I'm going to speak and when I'm done talking you can speak", which I think is inappropriate to be said to any customer. Then finally the correct ones come in and they want to give us the run around for how to pay for the remaining balance on the dresses. So needless to say none of our friends will be back here. Save yourself the hassle and don't deal with the terrible business they do at this salon.

ss altered. I bought my dress in Florida but live here. This shop seemed ok- very chaotic, but they sold my designer... So I went in for a consult and then felt confident enough to have my dress shipped up. I immediately brought it in 5 months before my wedding. I then wanted to buy a veil from here. I described exactly what I wanted and the owner, Yvonne insisted her " girl" makes it for me.. It's was cheap enough so I have 2 looks made. When I went to get them and have my first fitting in April... This veil was nothing I wanted. Silly me paid in full! I was not happy.... So then my dress fitting starts. This place is soooo tiny I have to use the same mirror of the girls trying on samples. These girls are stepping in my actually dress- 100% chaos. She crams appointments in this tiny space. I needed the neckline redone- I had a picture of the mock up and brought my own lace- the owner insists I need different lace from nyc which she promised she would get for me but never did- the whole time I am telling her I do not like this " trim look" I want " this" - she is so obnoxious she spoke over me the whole time. it was awful. Finally I left and called and told them I wasn't like how tight they made my dress- it seemed mermaid like and it supposed to be a fit and flare, then told her I wasn't pleased with the quality or look of the veils. They looked like I made them. I never signed anything how there is no returns and she basically when psycho on me. Refused to do anything. I kept telling her I want to return and maybe just buy something from a real designed not this " friend made veil" she flipped out and told me they do not have the time to accommodate me or my dress fitting. ( 6 weeks before my wedding and after my dress being there 3 months prior) this is the worst thing to do to any bride. So I drive to jersey after work and got my dress and dropped off the veils. I asked for a full refund For my dress altering ( they make you pay upfront a flat cost no matter what you get done) the sales girls was about to refund me... Then told me I have to pay $150 for their " time".. Really? Their time? What about my time? Now I have to find a tailor 6 weeks before my wedding !! A June wedding!!! Luckily karma stepped in and she miscalculated and refunded me the exact amount I paid. So I left. She realized her mistake and called me to come in to pay for her mistake. Nope!!! So then the irrational owner Yvonne called me about 509 times and sent me nasty emails accusing me of stealing! How did I steal? They did nothing and wanted to charge me when I'm the one who was completely out of luck! I had to block her # bc she was insane and would call me every 5 min and leave nasty messages!! I can't even express how rude and inconsiderate the owner is- she does not deserve business! Brides beware/ all the brides seemed to be stressed out! Don't let her stress you out! She also was so rude to the seamstress that worked there. It's this elderly Greek lady and she treated her like a slave. Not to mention my alterations were so much less than what they wanted to charge me!

d to try different styles she told me that I needed to "just make up my mind." If you're an indecisive bride or want to try on multiple styles to find what works for you, I DO NOT recommend Country Way!

My bridesmaids also got their dresses from Country Way and all looked fabulous! You feel like family at Country Way and I could not haven been happier.

nsultants there were very helpful, but you should ask for Caitlin :) She'll take great care of you! The seamstress they work with is very quick and talented. However, she did advise me not to sew my bra into the dress, stating that these little strips of fabric she put in there would help hold the bra under the dress. Although I expressed doubts, she assured me it would be fine, but it wasn't. On my wedding day my bra was showing almost the entire time and I was pulling the dress up constantly. Imagine my crankiness when I saw my bra showing in all of my otherwise beautiful photos. However, the alterations themselves were beautiful. All in all, I would recommend Country Way for its attentive staff and nice selection.

ure errors. The owner argued with me and said that it was how the dress was. I had to fight for over 6 months to get my money back, and even then i only got partial. I left the dress there and went to a different shop!

fectly! My ten bridesmaids also got their dresses from Country Way and could not have looked MORE beautiful! I would recommend every girl go to Country Way to search for their wedding gown and bridesmaids gowns!!

cessories, which is not something I can say about other dress shops in the area. This laid back yet warm and welcoming atmosphere was a huge factor in my and my mom's decisions to purchase our dresses for my wedding there. Everyone we encountered that had to do with this shop gave us 5-star quality service at reasonable prices.

d selection are excellent, and everything came in on time; alterations were great and the whole experience was outstanding. I got my bridal gown and veil, as well as my sister's matron-of-honor dress at Country Way -- they rock!

designer of the dress during the fitting process to ensure that we made the best decisions. I would highly recommend this vendor.

ring these dresses was not worth the savings! We were promised the dresses six weeks before the wedding so that we would have plenty of time to get the alterations. So six weeks before the wedding we called to make apts. Yvonne and company avoided our phone calls and would not call us back when we left messages. Four weeks before the wedding we went into the shop to ask where the dresses were. Yvonne first pretended she didn’t know us then she started talking to us like we were five year old children that had just over stepped the boundary. I had to ask her to stop wagging her finger in our faces and to talk to us like adults. You think a store owner that didn’t have the dresses in when promised might be slightly apologetic but it was the opposite. I felt like I was in an insane asylum because here we are spending tons of money in her store (there were 8 of us) and she is acting like we were in the wrong. The bride was nearly in tears and she said she refused to apologize and said that the dresses were in the mail on their way. She refused to discount any of the dresses or provide any alterations a discounted rate or ship them for free…even though we would only have 2 wks before the wedding and we all lived outside the area. Then the best part comes when the bride calls Yvonne on Tuesday to get the tracking number so that she could track the package and know exactly when to get the dresses were coming in. Yvonne would not provide the tracking number and said she decided to give us all a full refund and will not do business with us i.e. NO dresses and 3 weeks left. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Anyway we contacted Jim Helm, the designer of the dresses, and they said that they were waiting for a payment from Country Way to release the dresses. They said the dresses were ready for quite some time but that they were no longer releasing dresses to Country Way without advance payment as their credit had been frozen. We feel that Yvonne totally mismanaged the situation, took advantage of us, tried to blame us for her mistakes and problematic credit, and in the end screwed us over. Please shop here at your own risk. We should have looked at reviews before we came. There are tons of negative reviews about this place on the internet. BUYER BE WARE!

dresses would be in by that time. My one bridesmaid rented a car to come down for her alterations appointment from DC and no one called her to tell her there was no dress to be altered! I was never treated by anyone as badly as Yvonne treated us. She refused to guarentee us a date when the dresses would be in and instead told us she would give us a full refund...which doesn't do much good three weeks before a wedding! We ended up having to go through the manufacturer and instead have the dresses, which we were told by Jim Hejm had been in their shop and ready to ship for weeks, to another bridal shop! I would never want another bride to have to suffer through what we suffered through at this shop and because of Yvonne!!

The alterations are very expensive and were not done properly.

about them! They send in measurements either way too large or way too small and then try to say you lost/gained weight when it comes in so that their seamstress can charge you an arm and a leg to fix it. They are horrible people who should not be allowed to continue running their business in such a way.

wner sold the salon and the new management and staff is pure crap (to put it as nicely as possible). When I came back for alterations and to eventually pick up the dress it was a nightmare. They treated me like I was about six years old and spent the whole time talking down to me -- after I waited over half an hour PAST my appointment time to even be let in past the front door! The price of the alterations was ridiculously high. When all was said and done something was changed with the alterations between my final fitting and the day I picked up the dress causing me to have to go out and buy a different bra less than two hours before my wedding. When I called to complain they didn't even offer an apology. I wrote a letter to the new owner about it and heard nothing. It's a shame that these new people are ruining the spectacular reputation that the previous owner worked so hard to establish.
