My cousin and I are both engaged (and each others maid of honor!) and really wanted to share the experience of shopping for wedding gowns together! Amanda and her team were so accommodating and excited for us. We had the whole store to ourselv...

es and it was so special. We also ended up brining our Pop-Pop along and they were beyond accommodating to all of his needs (wheelchair, medical, etc). They asked us so many great question to really help us find out dream dresses. I have been shopping many places for my dress and no other store had the variety and uniqueness of Amanda's gowns. She also had a variety of sample sizes so every bride is able to try on a gown and feel as beautiful as they should. The professionalism, knowledge, and kindness made this experience better than we ever imagined...of course we both said YES!

I wish I could give MORE than 5 stars - more like 100. Dressed in Love is truly the place where you have that once in a lifetime bridal experience. Amanda, the store owner, is absolutely and truly meant to do this. She's patient, kind, helpful,...

not at ALL pushy, and listens to exactly what you're thinking and feeling. She's so knowledgeable about all the dresses she carries, and if they can do any alterations, what colors it might come in, etc. I found my dream dress but every dress she carried was pristine, gorgeous, unique, and reasonably priced. Her store is immaculate and warm and comforting. I ended up finding my dress, veil, AND all my bridal jewelry - it all just fit together perfectly. If you're in the area or even if it's a bit of a trip - I promise you Amanda and her team are so worth it. You'll leave her store feeling like you always dreamed you would.

Morgan was my consultant and I cannot say enough great things about her. I was so nervous about trying dresses on, especially being a curvier woman, but she was so laid back & supportive, she made sure I had a fantastic experience! And the owner, Amanda had her own appointment at the same time, but would still check in with us and give her opinion on the dresses I was trying on - along with the crew I had brought with me I felt like I had my own hype team right there in the store. The store itself is beautiful and clean, it feels very luxurious and modern inside. I ended up purchasing the very first dress I tried on! It was fate! I highly recommend Dressed in Love to any bride-to-be looking for a gorgeous selection and fantastic customer service.
