Great service! Found my dream dress.
I went to David's Bridal initially and had a lack-luster experience. I found an okay dress, but after it arrived it just didn't seem "me" or like the one. I found Donna Salyers' through the All Who Wander website. This was hands down the BEST experience I could have imagined. They had so many options and different styles to try.
Colleen was so helpful! She had such great advice and was so patient. Anne pulled a wild card that I ended up falling absolutely IN LOVE WITH! They both took so much care to try to match the dress to my style and personality. My mom and I got to sit back and relax through the appointment, taking so much stress out of it (especially given my shorter timeline). And to top it all off, the dress was very reasonably priced considering how special it looks and they were able to make it a rush order! I was in shock that it was within my budget. I would recommend going here to anyone and everyone!
This place is amazing. It’s very intimate, it feels like you are the only one there. The vibes are on point. 10/10 recommend
My bridesmaids and I had a wonderful experience!!! We were given very personal attention by our incredibly knowledgeable sales rep Colleen.
Since the moment me and my group walked into the shop, I knew it was going to be a successful appointment! Colleen was SOOO amazing and helpful. She asked what my vision was and pulled the most PERFECT dresses. When I said what I liked about a certain dress, she was so quick to find ones with similar elements. I’m pretty sure I said “this is the one” at least 3 times 😂 she was so patient with me while I FaceTimed 10 different people. I could not have asked for a better experience!! I had 2 appointments in the Reading Bridal District later that day and cancelled them because I found my dream dress!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Anne was my consultant and I had the best experience with her! She’s patient, kind, and knew what I had in mind the moment I explained some things to her. Very happy with her and the store. Nice selection and not overwhelming
My friend and I walked in without an appointment and Anne was so incredibly welcoming. She was quick to make us feel comfortable right from the get-go. The selection of dresses was not overwhelming for me - the selection was fantastic and all of the dresses were stunning. Anne gave me honest advice and asked all of the right questions then stepped back to give me room to decide what was best for me. I loved that. As a curvy bride, I really wanted to be able to try on a dress that fit so I could see the vision of the designer. There were dress sizes there for every bride. Price was right on point with the market, no surprises. I most certainly found the dress of my dreams and celebrated with champagne and a few happy tears over my choice. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked in but I am so glad I said yes to my dress at Donna Slayers Fabulous-Bridal. Thank you, Anne!
Absolutely wonderful experience. So stress free and Anne was awesome. First dress I tried on I got. 10/10 I highly recommend:)
My mom went to get her dress November 9th, 2018. She was Married in September 2019. She had the best appointment ever! I had such a wonderful time looking at bridal dresses with her and then going to fittings for hers and our bridesmaids dresses. I loved the experience so much… I decided I wanted to do it again! I get married in October 2024, and have scheduled my fitting for this coming November. I’m beyond excited for this appointment and cannot wait to have the help from the best consultants and people! Beautiful dresses, wonderful experiences!
Both myself and my best friend bought our dresses from Donna's. They have an amazing selection of gowns and the staff is incredibly helpful. They even shipped my dress to me for free since I live out of state. Go see Donna!
Sales woman who helped me find the dress was amazing! I had tried on the same dress at another salon, and the service at Fabulous Bridal was much more personal and special. I am giving 3 stars because I ended up with a very wrong size dress, despite trying on the size in store which fit perfectly. I went with the salons recommendation after hearing the spiel about there being no recourse if I went against their size recommendation. The dress in no way fit and I regretted going against my judgement. Since the dress needed so much work, I used their in house alterations and ended up spending significantly more in alterations than I paid for the dress. They did press the dress for free to make it right, but I still felt like I had very little recourse for a dress that didn’t fit and I had nearly doubled my budget on. Ultimately, the dress still ended up being too big on my wedding day. Luckily, it was only noticeable to myself and those who knew the saga, but still a disappointing experience nonetheless.
To start. Let it be known, that I went to 5 places. And a bridal convention! And saw a fashion show of wedding dresses. The 5th place which is Donna”s was the last place I went. I actually fell In love with the dress at another boutique but when calling around I found that this boutique wanted 600-700 less! Than the others. I met with Anne who I believe is the manager and we have a very pleasant conversation I was very honest with her and she was very honest with me, she was willing to work with my paying to hurry and get the dress ordered and her charm and honesty won the sale. So far I’m enjoying my experience with them, they answered all my questions and worked with me swiftly. And I left feeling a weight leave my chest. The amount of anxiety I had been having about getting this dress ordered so it would be here in time is crazy. But I am so grateful. And also the best place about them! They have in house alterations. I am a Cincinnati native and the bridal district was a bit much for me. So this was great.
After searching in Bridal District in Reading, my last appointment was at Fabulous Bridal and I wish I would have started here. As a street size 16, being a plus size bride can be challenging. Fabulous Bridal had so many gowns that fit my body type where I could get a realistic idea of what my dress would look like. Colleen and Anne were incredible. Colleen went "shopping" for me and truly listened to what I wanted. I only tried on 3 gowns here compared to 6-10 at other stores. Colleen found my dream dress. I highly recommend Fabulous Bridal and cannot thank them enough for such a great experience.
So professional and was always in my best interest. They had so many beautiful dresses and we’re always flexible with my appointments. I really have nothing bad to say about this place. Very cute shop.
As a plus size bride, with bridesmaids that go from a size 4 to a size 20, I wanted to find a salon that was inclusive and welcoming. I had an amazing time here. It made all of the difference that it appeared to be appointment only. Having the focus fully on me with my family around was so special. (I scheduled all of my appointments but not all of them actually kept them even though I showed up on time). They actually listened to what I wanted and was able to accommodate me in so many ways. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a dress!
We had such a great experience at Fabulous Bridal! They had a great selection of gowns and were very helpful through the whole day! We didn’t feel pressured to pick a gown at all, and the one I chose was a dress that my consultant Erin picked totally on her own for me after seeing what I liked in certain dresses! They were so sweet and accommodating, we loved our experience and highly recommend!
The staff was super helpful and worked to help me find exactly what I was looking for!
I found my perfect dress with this team! My stylist Kylie was amazing! She pulled 5 beautiful dresses and was very conscious about my budget. She made me feel comfortable and made the whole experience enjoyable. Kylie and the General Manager were fantastic to work with! I highly recommend going to see them for your dress needs!
I found my dream wedding dress thanks to Kylie! She was my bridal consultant and she was amazing! She took the time to listen to not only what I like but also the girls I brought opinions as well! Everyone there was very welcoming and I felt very comfortable! The shop itself is very beautiful, inviting and clean! I did not expect to find a dress on the first try but I am so glad it was at Donna Salyers! They even had me sign the cork from the bottle of champagne to be apart of the “family”! I would 100% recommend this place to any bride!
I love this shop! I said Yes to the Dress here and I didn't look anywhere else! Amazing service and great prices! Can't wait to see my dress in August for my first fitting!
I cannot explain how happy I was finding the dress of my dreams at such a fabulous place. I not only had such a great experience working with Donna, but my mom and sister did as well. Everyone was so professional and accommodating.
Kylie hands down was the best! she was friendly and non judgemental unlike some of the girls working there..I definitely wanted Kylie to know she is awesome and made me feel very comfortable even though I'm a bigger bride..Thank you Kylie very much! I'm so glad you helped me find my perfect wedding dress!!
This place is amazing! They have a huge selection of dresses for every taste and budget. Ask for Kylie! She was amazing. I had no idea what dress I wanted, and Kylie helped me find a few dresses to start with—bought dress number 3! She made it a very fun and stress free process. 10/10 recommend!!
My fiancé and I just got married on NYE and I got my wedding gown here 01/21 so pretty much a year prior! The manager that helped me at my first fitting was seriously amazing (I can't remember her name)! I was hesitant about having an hour glass shape and didn't know if I would look good in a mermaid dress which is what I really wanted! She made it possible and I was so impressed! BUT when I came back in September they had a new manager Anne was really unprofessional!! I did not get my wedding dress until 9 days before our wedding!! They messed up my alterations by making it way shorter than I wanted when I specifically said it multiple times I wanted it long because I am self conscious about my feet.. It was way to short for my liking and they kept insisting that was how it was supposed to be etc. IT IS MY DRESS I WANT IT THE WAY I WANT!! So, I got stuck with paying to have it taken out of the seam to make it longer! THEN they measured the bust around me wrong and took it so far in that the zipper broke!! I am not a busty person I am a 34B and were a medium top this was so small I couldn't breathe!!! The manager was going back and forth with my mom and kept INSISTING it was because I gained weight!!! PRETTY MUCH CALLING ME FAT!! A BRIDE FAT?? ok lady I didn't gain any weight nor go get a boob job in the mean time!! I do not recommend this place!! My dress was $2300 and my alterations cost me almost $2000!! DON'T DO IT GO SOMEWHERE ELSE ESPECIALLY WITH THE STAFF THEY HAVE NOW! Dress was beautiful but not worth almost 5k! RIDICULOUS!!!!
My experience at Fabulous Bridal was truly perfect--it felt like Say Yes To The Dress but without the drama! I worked with Anne and she took all of my wish list items into account and found me the perfect dress. The space was lovely, they had a huge variety of styles and sizes that fit my body (so I didn't feel like a cased sausage trying on dresses). I brought a pretty big group of family and friends and we were all treated so well. It was just the best experience I could have hoped for!
Great selection and great stylist
I went into Donna Salyer's yesterday for a wedding dress appointment and I have to say... It was the most incredible and memorable experience! Not only is the studio absolutely gorgeous, but the associate Kylie made everything magical. She not only was she able to find THE dress for me, but she had so much patience for myself and my loved ones. I truly could not imagine having done this without her help! I will be forever grateful to Kylie and her phenomenal presence! 1000% recommend and PLEASE go see Kylie for your wedding dress/ bridesmaids dresses!! 💛🌻💛🌻💛
Fabulous Bridal had a huge selection of different dresses to choose from. Very wide variety! I received so much help and they made me feel comfortable and confident in finding my wedding dress. I fully enjoyed my visit!
Being a plus size bride I was so nervous about wedding dress shopping, I was excited but so nervous. Anne handled my appointment with ease and calmed all of my nerves. I knew coming in that I loved Stella York so i was so excited to see those dresses in person. I saw this dress that I knew that I wanted to try on right away that had so much glitter tulle, it was definitely glitzy and screamed Disney princess. I made the decision that was the last dress I wanted to try on because I had a feeling that one was the one. Putting on that dress was magical and once you added the veil it was even better than I could have ever imagined. I came back for my bridesmaids dresses and Carly was just as amazing as Anne was. We found everyone dresses that they liked and the process was a breeze. I also used Fabulous Bridal for my alterations. Anne did warn me early on what I would be spending in alterations, but it was worth every penny. Sarah did an amazing job and my dress looked amazing once alterations were done. I definitely recommend brides coming to Fabulous Bridal!! It was such a pleasure working with all the wonderful ladies there.
I had such a great experience here! I had researched before my appointment and had a few styles that I was interested in. I showed Anne photos of what I was looking for, and she was back in about 5 minutes with a great selection. I loved every dress she had me try on! I could tell she was really listening to my preferences when picking out the dresses, and had enough experience and knowledge to do so quickly. I had two dresses that I loved different aspects of, and she brought back a dress that was the perfect combination of both. I found my dress within about 30 minutes of my appointment! Highly highly recommend making an appointment here.
I got my wedding dress there and if I knew how they were to treat my sister I would’ve never gave them my business. Not only did the stylist not listen to a word my sister said but was completely fascinated by the fact that I got my dress there and walked away from my sister to do “research” on the dress that my sister wanted but proceeded to pull up my file and make comments on how I was ordered a size 4, and how my sister didn’t fit in some of the sample dresses and that’s why she couldn’t try on some of the dresses that she liked. We were there for 45 minutes and Donna continued to put worse and worse and more expensive dresses on my sister. We left there and went to Blush Bridal the next day and found my sisters dream dress immediately. Stay away from this body shaming, money hungry place.
After describing what type of dress I want I was brought everything that was what I did not want in a dress. After trying on maybe 4 dresses I was told they didn’t have any dresses that would suit my style and there was nothing else for me to try on. I left thinking my perfect dress didn’t exist and I would never find a wedding dress with how the staff were talking to me. I went to another salon the next day and immediately found my perfect dress.
Ask for Kylie, she was very intuitive and kind. I had no idea what I wanted in a wedding dress and I told her all the things I didn't want. Kylie came back with 5 dresses and I bought dress number two on the spot.
Anne was absolutely amazing and knew exactly what to pick for me. It was such a special experience and the customer service was TOP NOTCH! I’m so happy to find my dream dress at Fabulous Bridal!

This was my third time dress shopping and a totally different experience in the most wonderful way! I felt like a princess the whole time I was there and can’t recommend them enough 🥰
The staff was super nice & accommodating! I kept switching back and forth between 2 dresses and asking for all kinds of different veils. They were super sweet the whole time & helped me have my "this is my dress" moment.
Donna was amazing and found my dress when I didn't even know where to start! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
My stylist, Donna Molenda, was fantastic! She was energetic, thoughtful, and professional. Donna took the time to listen closely and understand my requests and she pulled great selections based on that vision. She made the whole experience for me and my guests better than I could have expected!
Amazing experience, all around. A great selection of dresses (I was picky!) and my bridal consultants made every sample dress look like it was just my size.
They moved the clamps and straps so I could see all angles of the dress, they listened to what I wanted, and helped me find the PERFECT one!
Complete trust in DSFB and can’t wait to pick up my dress.
Fabulous Bridal was the only salon I went to! They made the entire process so easy from appointment scheduling, to picking gowns, and finally the purchasing process. My consultant Kylie was so kind, fun and upbeat! She took my feedback on the gowns and pulled styles I liked in my budget every time. 10/10 ladies!!
Everyone at Fabulous Bridal was AMAZING! I had gone to several shops and had not found my dream dress. By the time I got to Fabulous Bridal, I knew exactly what I wanted and actually went by myself - they made me feel so comfortable and were extremely helpful. They looked at all the previous dresses that I had tried on, listened to what I had liked/disliked about them and then brought me my dream dress!! Highly recommend!
I never imagined finding my dream dress would be so easy! This was my first experience and it did not disappoint. You can tell Donna has been doing this a long time. She listened intently and had me in & out of dresses quickly to ensure I saw it all. She also gave me the full vision by handing me a bouquet and pulling a bridesmaids dress similar to mine and holding it up next to me. The salon is bright and welcoming, my party and I felt relaxed.
After saying yes they handed us champagne before letting me fully take in the moment with everyone I brought along. I wish I could re-live it.
I have not purchased my dress yet and I only went here one time so far. BUT it was beautiful and I had Donna Molenda helping me in and out of gowns, and finding gowns that she thought I’d like and man did she pick them! I told her my price range and she put dresses on me in my price range which I greatly appreciated. I am covered in tattoos and she didn’t treat me weird like some places do. I’ll definitely be buying a dress from this shop I just can’t decide because they have so many amazing dresses.
This was an amazing experience. Kylie listened from the very beginning. I showed her a couple pictures, and she caught on to what I wanted immediately. I could have said yes to so many of the dresses. At the very end we were debating over a couple, and she said that she wanted to grab one more. That one more was it! Such a comfortable, upbeat, and positive experience! Would recommend to all brides to be.
Fabulous bridal gives the most amazing experience and has an amazing selection of dresses. I have shopped here for years for other dresses and came back for the most important dress yet, my wedding dress.
Ann is awesome! My visit to Fabulous Bridal was my first visit to a bridal salon anywhere ever, and I went by myself. Being very short, not quite plus-size but definitely not thin, I was sure nothing would fit me and I'd make a fool of myself in the process. I was terrified. Ann quickly put me at ease--not a simple task!--and found a series of dresses for me to try. The very first one she put me in was gorgeous, and she made *me* look and feel gorgeous! Honestly, I hadn't known I could look that good. I went from dreading the whole process to loving it.
I didn't want to commit to anything without going to at least one other store, just to see what was out there, and getting my sister to visit from out of town and provide her input. Ann was just as gracious when I brought my sister back several days later. As much as she wanted to make the sale, she also stressed with me that I needed to be happy and confident in my decision, even if it meant trying (and potentially buying from) other stores.
I ended up going with a dress from a private collection at a different boutique a couple of days later. I would never have made it that far without Ann though; she helped me figure out what I was (and wasn't) looking for, and she gave me the confidence and enthusiasm to embrace the process. She was easily the best consultant I worked with out of all of the stores I went to. When I called to let her know I'd gone with another boutique's dress, she was just as excited as if I'd bought it from her.
I'm SO glad I got to start my dress shopping with Ann, and I would 1000% recommend her to any fellow bride!
Upon entering the store, we were met by Anne who we later found out was the Manager. The store was perfectly laid out. They had huge mirrors and a great selection of dresses. I was impressed at the number of plus size options. I was very comfortable with letting Anne know what i wanted and she made it happen. After the fourth dress- i just knew. This was the one for me. She made me feel at ease with the whole process and would recommend this store for your bridal purchase.
I found my dress after only trying on 3 dresses! I worked with Anne the GM and she was absolutely amazing! She was honest and straight forward and she listened to exactly what I said I wanted and also urged me to be open. I didn’t go out on the floor and picked any dresses, she just listened to what I said and picked out dresses for me and then boom I found my dress! They had plenty of plus size dresses for the ladies with the big boobies and hips like myself! Anne never made me or my family feel uncomfortable she was very professional and knowledgeable and genuinely sweet. The boutique was beautiful and clean we had a private dress area. We had so much fun and I did not expect that. My sister who came from out of town to help me find a dress ended up finding her dress here too! They had so many options so many beautiful gowns that it was a one stop shop. She found her gown after trying on two dresses! We had such a wonderful experience!
Today I went to Donna Salyers Fabulous Bridal. This was my first time trying on wedding dresses. As a plus sized bride, the thought of trying in dresses made me more than anxious. I was greeted and assisted by Donna and couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
I didn’t have an idea of what I wanted, but I knew what I didn’t want. Donna listened and pulled dresses promptly that she thought I may like. The second dress I tried on turned out to be THE dress. The process of measurements and placing my deposit was simple and quick. Donna made sure to address any questions we had and explain the upcoming process in detail.
If you are a bride to be, Fabulous Bridal is the place to go and receive a five star experience!
I’ve been to Fabulous Bridal many times as a bridesmaid and have always not only had an easy browsing experience, found dresses of many styles and sizes, but the consultants were always so helpful and friendly too. Of course as a bride they were top of my list and I couldn’t be happier than the experience I got to share with my loved ones at Fabulous Bridal! Thank you Anne and team!
