I would 100% recommend Dawns Bridal to anyone! If you are looking for wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride/groom dresses, Dawns is the place to go. The customer service is amazing and the staff was so friendly and helpful when I was shopping for my wedding dress and when we were shopping for bridesmaid's dresses. They had a great selection of all dresses at all price ranges! The turnaround times for delivery and alterations are great, as well!
Dawns is the sweetest little bridal shop! I’m so excited I found my dream dress at this boutique. It’s located in a old house downtown Lexington. The owner is so sweet and so amazing to work with. Once my dress came in she fitted me and sent it out for alterations that were very reasonable! Please support local and don’t go to the mega stores! They can get you almost anything you want!
My mother bought her wedding dress here in 1988, and 28 years later, this is also where I bought my wedding dress! The shop is family-owned and Raeann was so attentive and helpful as I tried on dresses. She had great input and was not pushy in the slightest. I loved the Casablanca dress I ended up selecting - it was exactly what I was looking for! I am a bit petite so we were able to custom order the dress to my measurements for a small fee, and I also paid a little extra to get the train shortened. Through no fault of Dawn's Bridal, my dress was a few months delayed, but I had ordered with enough time in advance that it was not a problem (about 9 months before the wedding). The dress fit me like a glove, and only required the most minor alterations. I also bought a matching headband here. I would highly recommend Dawn's Bridal - they were a pleasure to work with!
I went to Dawn's looking for my wedding dress and they did not disappoint. I went to a total of 4 shops in this area and they were by far the most helpful and had the best service. They went out of their way to make me and my family members who were with me super comfortable and we had the best time there!
I bought my wedding dress at Dawn's and it was the best experience! They took what I liked and made excellent suggestions and were able to let me see what the dress was really going to look like on my frame. The alterations were incredible! I made several alterations to my dress and you would never know that I didn't buy it that way. Renee and the rest of the Dawn's staff are wonderful and will give you a great experience!
I will preface this by saying this occurred in 2006, so they may have improved since then. But I was so upset with the terrible service that I still want to warn people, even 11 years later.
I went there for a bridesmaid dress for my brother's wedding. They took my measurements, and while I was standing there looking at the chart the woman had, with my measurements right there, she insisted on ordering a size that seemed to me as though it would be too small. I said several times I didn't think it would be right (I guess she assumed I couldn't read the numbers upside down), but she insisted several times that it was the right size. "Trust me" she said.
Fast forward to three-four months later, and the dress is in. And the wrong size. Too tight - I went back to the store, thinking maybe I had gained weight and NOPE my measurements were exactly the same. There was not enough fabric in the dress to let it out, and when I told them it was unacceptable they just shrugged and said that there wasn't enough time to order another one (this was two months before the wedding).
I ended up having to purchase something similar to Spanx and wear very tight control top panty hose to even look halfway decent. And I wasn't the only bridesmaid to have issues - the maid of honor's dress was so tight she could barely breathe! And I won't even go into how the alterations were done on the actual wedding gown.
The worst part about it all is the dress itself was absolutely gorgeous - would have looked great if not for the incompetents at Dawn's that don't know how to order a dress the right size!
A good majority of the ladies working here are super nice and easy to work with! They have quite a few wedding gowns to choose from upstairs, with mother of the bride dresses and bridesmaids dresses downstairs. Prices are reasonable, especially for the great product being purchased! The shop is an older home that has a little wear on it, but this causes no problems!
Dawn's Bridals was recommended by my fiancées family. They had a great experience there and thought I would get great help too. They were right! I was dreading finding "the dress" but we had great help from Rae Anne. She brought in dresses after seeing what I picked first and I found a great dress at a great deal. They were super helpful throughout the process from pursuing to final purchase. Definitely had fun and found the perfect dress!
Dawn knew "the dress" for me before I did. When I first tried on "the dress" I said no. I didn't think I had the body to pull it off. Without being pushy, Dawn got me to take another look at myself in the dress. I was an indecisive bride, but Dawn was patient and comforting. If you want a personal experience when you find your wedding dress, go to Dawn. It doesn't hurt that the house her business is in is adorable.
Dawn's was great and always patient! It took me several trips to the boutique to try on the same dress and they were always very nice. My mom also bought her mother of the bride dress there as well! Buying from a small store is so much more personal then buying from a big brand store like David's Bridal!
The ladies in this dress shop have customer service down. I appreciated that there was a variety of price points for dresses. I got personal shopping help. I picked some dresses to try on, and staff picked some others for me. When my dress came in, it was fitted perfectly and sent out for alterations.
My step-daughter had visited numerous bridal shops, but chose Dawn's Bridal because they gave her special attention and were willing to modify a dress to the neckline she desired. Their alterations were excellent and her whole experience was very positive. I would definitely recommend Dawn's Bridal!
Dawn's bridals is the best around! They really know what they're doing and are very professional! Enjoyed the experience at Dawn's :)
Dawn's Bridals was just a great place to work with, they gave me personalized service and a great selection to choose from. I found a dress I LOVED and they gave it to me in price range to make the sale. The only reason I hesitated to give 5 stars is because the hem of my dress had to be touched up twice before the wedding - they did a good job but it is already coming unstitched again (afterward). Besides that, I would recommend Dawn's to any bride - and even with my small problem, they took care of it in my time frame every time and didn't complain or put up a fight to help fix anything. I also love that they bring the dress out to the car when you pick it up - makes you feel very important!
I got my wedding dress and my bridesmaid dresses from Dawn's. The atmosphere is very homey. You are able to go into a private room with your friends and family while a consultant helps you try on dresses. They make you feel as if you are their most important customer. All are very nice and helpful
The ladies here at Dawn's Bridal are wonderful. I loved that they helped me with selecting a wedding dress. They made suggestions based on my previous selections. Great place and great service.
nice environment and knowledgable staff and dresses for all price ranges.
Dawn's Bridal Shop is simply amazing. From the moment they first opened their mouths, I trusted them. They have a system and it works. We purchased my gown, shoes, accessories and my attendants' dresses there and didn't have a lick of trouble. They even helped my MOH, who found out she was pregnant a week after falling in love with a lovely figure-hugging dress...haha! They were all just spectacular, and I couldn't have asked more more!
Great advice and help. She will work with you. Tons of beautiful dresses at Dawn's.
They were wonderful and quick altering and getting in the bridesmaid's dresses. Great to work with and so kind! Wonderful shop!
I looked for wedding dresses at Dawn's and would have loved to order all of my dresses from this place. They were amazing to deal with and are truly good at what they do. I ended up choosing a dress that they did not carry, but I went out of my way to order all of my bridesmaid's dresses from this place and they were awesome! Definitely recommend :)
This place is a Hidden Treasure for Brides!
It is more hands on and detail oriented compare to the Burlington Store! If I need to get a Bridesmaid dress for another friend’s wedding or a dress for a special occasion I will definitely go there FIRST!
They make time for you and make it all about you!
The Seamstress there is the BEST and she is VERY reasonable.
Love Them and their selections!!!!T
They were very helpful and efficient with the orders. They allowed everyone to look for their own dresses and provided assistance when measuring and ordering. Very wonderful shop.
I got my dress at Dawn's for $100! It fit perfectly and everyone was so happy. They were great to work with and had classic, timeless dresses. My cousin also got her wedding dress from here 10 years ago!
they were really rude when I went in just to look at what they had to offer.
Price, service, and variety was well worth the 45 minute drive (numerous times)! Would definitely purchase from them again!
Dawn's Bridal was excellent! They have a beautiful selection of bridal gowns that suites all price ranges. You get a 1-on-1 exprience that is absent at other bridal shops such as David's Bridal and Bridal Mart. I would definitely recommend Dawn's!
Wonderful to work with! The staff is so professional & polite - very easy to work with!
I bought my wedding dress here and I loved the attention I got... I truly felt important. Good selection of designer gowns, the gown came in on time just as promised. The alterations were perfect and they steamed my dress for picture and wedding day as part of the total price which meant a lot to me. I would totally recommend to anyone.
customer service, always prepared, felt like I was their only customer;a bit out of the way travelwise
