Encore Formals and Bridal

I wanted not only in a wedding gown, but my wedding dreams as a whole. She was kind and made getting a dress my favorite thing I've done so far in wedding planning! The ladies at Encore truly care about you as a person and offer incredible gowns at amazing prices! Trust me, this is the place you want to go to find your perfect gown!

ey made my day!!

y!

! I will tell everyone to go see them!

erful service and memories !

veil, bridesmaid dresses, and flower girl dress here too! I definitely felt special from the moment I walked in the door until the day I picked up my wedding gown! I would definitely recommend Encore to any bride, mother of the bride, and wedding party!!!

looked through books with me to help me find my perfect dress for my wedding. She never made me feel rushed or pressured into making a decision. So much so that in the end my perfect dress that I said yes to was right there all along. Sitting right there in the window as I was walking out. So of course before I left " I said yes to the dress" I would highly recommend Lindsey and Encore ten timers over those chain stores any day! Thank you Encore and Lindsey for helping me find my perfect dress and making my dress shopping memorable! Chari O.

msmens' tuxes all from there!! The epitome of a one stop shop! Go there, you will not be disappointed!!

igure out what I wanted and really listened. You can tell she loves her job. Lindsey is absolutely the best. She made my parents and I feel great each time we met with her, always remembered us, and provided red carpet customer service. I’m so thankful for my experience with Encore and Lindsey.

ccessories, event dresses; they have made my experience extremely pleasurable.They truly do treat you like family here, I would highly recommend anyone looking for a personalized bridal experience.

ind a dress in the mermaid style the I liked for my plus sized body. I was delighted when I arrived at Encore and met Lindsay! Lindsay was very professional, friendly and she listened to exactly what I wanted. She brought several dresses for me to try on and literally every dress I tried on could have been the dress. They all were beautiful and they fit me perfectly , they were also in the mermaid style that I requested. I narrowed my choice down to two dresses within my budget and went home to think it over. The following weekend I went in purchased my wedding dress. Lindsay provided the best customer service and made me feel at ease. I would definitely recommend Encore Bridal and Formal to my friends and family.

t I was so disappointed in the service and experience that I had already purchase a second dress as a backup, which I wore for my wedding. While the original visit was great, when it came to delivering on a rather expensive purchase, this bridal salon was extremely poor at customer service.

ful or chaotic moments. Kaitlyn listened to all of my requests and helped me choose dresses that fit my style and figure the best! She made the whole trying on process comfortable and was very helpful. I am so thrilled with the dress I purchased and can't wait until my first fitting!

t of the day. The shop is very cute and they have a GREAT selection of dresses. Lindsey helped us out that day and she was amazing to work with. She understood what I was looking for made sure to pin the dresses perfectly so I could really see what they would look like after alterations. It was a "private" event, rather than feeling like you were being herded and rushed. I would absolutely recommend working with Encore. I went to two other appointments that day, but came back to Encore and purchased my wedding dress. Wonderful experience!! Thank you :)

s pleasant. They were patient and knowledgeable of their vendors and inventory. I love the team work that is displayed between the staff. They help each other as they understand they are there for a common goal, which is to assist a bride in finding her dream gown. Ladies continue providing wonderful service. You all are kind, passionate, and genuinely love what you do. I will recommend you to everyone I know.

wanted. I had checked with other bridal shops who did not carry Sophia Tolli dresses and I was ecstatic to find out that Encore Formals and Bridals did! They carried the same exact dress that I had looked at for so many years. That dress did not work out for me, however Ms. Kathy was extremely patient with me and she really took the time to get a feel for what I was looking for in a wedding dress. I was overjoyed to be able to find the perfect dress for me and it only took me one stop, at one store, on one day. I got the wedding dress of my dreams that fits me like a glove. Every single person that I dealt with at Encore Formals and Bridal were so very nice and so very helpful. Although my dress fit me like a glove for the most part, I still had to have it taken up a lot due to the fact that I am so short. I decided that since I had such an amazing experience with everyone at Encore so far that I would have my dress taken up there as well. Margarita made the dress altering experience such a breeze. I had to have several inches taken off of my very detailed dress. Margarita did such a beautiful job with everything that she did and when I went in for my second (which was also my last) dress fitting the dress fit me like a glove like it was made for me. You could not even tell that so much had to be taken up. Margarita even surprised me with a triple French bustle in which I found to be absolutely stunning, it took my breath away. I cannot thank Ms. Kathy, Margarita and everyone else at Encore Formals & Bridal enough for all of their help and hard work they put into making this a very memorable and wonderful experience. Thank you all!

re team for making this easy and fun!!

with our family. It was a very personal experience and my daughter got exactly what she was looking for. Thanks Encore for making one of the hardest wedding decisions so easy!

ience the whole finding the dress thing, so we asked Ms. Kathy to keep it a secret that we came and saw the dress, so the day we brought the whole family in Ms. Kathy acted as if she didn't know us and the family was able to have their experience with us!

fect dress, we all cried and had the best experience with her! Thank you beyond words Kathy & every bride should put this store first on your list!

d found my wedding dress truly inhabited some of the best memories of my life. I'm a sentimentalist naturally, yet the process of finding my dress was even more beautiful than I originally dreamed. As I booked my appointment, Lea spoke with an unforgettable level of enthusiasm and support, and this sentiment continued on through the date. The day of, Lea showed the upmost level of kindness, patience. and expertise. She gave me advise on silhouettes and material, yet consistently acknowledged the importance of pursuing a dress that captured my personality and made me feel most beautiful. I had my eye on a tea rose and ivory dress throughout my entire appointment and it was Lea who encouraged me to go for it. She challenged me to not let myself see the dress in the mirror until I could get the full-effect. After finally being able to peek the floodgates opened and I knew it was the one!!! Thank you, Lea, for contributing so heavily to such a beautiful moment, for encouraging me, and for staying so late to make it happen!! And thank you, Encore, for having the best selection of beautiful dresses and ultimately, the dress and veil that I will be overjoyed to wear on my wedding day!!!

dreams!

and beyond helping Laura and doing extras here and there at no additional charge ever! We feel like she is family! Not only did my daughter say yes to the dress but she said yes to the shoes at Encore also! After shoe shopping for a month! Thank you so much Cathy! We love you and Encore! I highly recommend Encore not only to Brides to be but also to Mothers of the Bride to be as well!💕😘

dresses! Kathy is the sweetest! She has been so much help, she is such a lovely lady and she knows what's she's doing! Thank you encore! :)

dress elsewhere, I would have done that.

ful. What was just a window shopping trip turned out to be when I found "the dress." Truly wonderful all around. We will be going back for the mother and grandmother of the bride dresses.

hat I went to Encore because Kathy went to great lengths to find the dress for me. She was able to track down the dress and able to get a loaner dress in for me to try it on. As soon as I put it on I knew it was the one. If it weren't for Kathy I would not have been able to get my dream wedding gown. She truly went above and beyond. It's obvious that Kathy really cares about her brides. My experience with Encore was the best customer service I've had at any bridal salon. Thank you so much Kathy!

istened to exactly what I wanted. I didn't have my bridesmaids dresses from here, which was a complete mistake. I had my dress in a timely manner, actually 2 months earlier than we thought, in perfect condition. If you want a boutique that actually cares about you and what your vision for your wedding is, come to Encore.

never felt rushed, and Kathy helped me try on every single dress. We narrowed it down to two dresses. It was hard for me to compare them, since I could only wear one dress at a time. Kathy went in the back and came out wearing the other dress. It was awesome and it made it so easy to compare the train of each dress. I've been back several times to fitting and to select my veil. Each time I go, I am greeted by Kathy. She's such a pleasure to be around and I'm so happy she helped me select my wedding dress!

options, was well-informed about different styles, the advantages of various fits, and the options I had. She was very enthusiastic and eager to help me find the perfect dress for me. The cost was wonderful too. Encore has an extensive collection of discontinued dresses that are marked down to fabulously low prices. I got a dress that was originally $1800, but because it was discontinued, was now $600! I loved the style and cut, so it was such a blessing to have that markdown. I live in Seattle, and had been visiting friends in Atlanta, so Kathy shipped the dress for me (for a fee of course). Overall, it was a great experience and I'm so glad I went!

them. They have a beautiful collection of David Tutera dresses which was right up my alley. Kathy is an wonderful lady and if I had any stress she would let me know that everything was going to be alright! She's genuinely a sweet woman! Thanks Kathy, you've saved the day! -Delrae

altering your dress and she is a perfectionist. She will make your bridal dress exactly what you imagined. Kathy was always great with giving her opinion and she was extremely helpful. She was super sweet when my 5 year old nephew came in to get fitted. Trust their opinions because they're the professionals! I brought in my whole family and Kathy didn't mind it at all! We all honestly became family. I recently dropped off my dress there to get it preserved too! They work with the Wedding Dress Preservation company. I can't wait to get it back to see it in it's pretty box!

he store owner. And let me tell u, I think she was more excited for me than I was!! Kathy is so amazingly thoughtful and personal. We didn't live in atlanta and we're scheduled to go home the next day; instead of making us come back to ATL at a later date,she squeezed us in early the next morning! So U would think since I wouldn't be paying for my dress and I know she had to be completely exhausted from the bridal show the day before, that my appointment would be rushed and impersonal but it was quite the opposite! Kathy greated me right away with a hug and started pulling all of her david tutera dresses out that she had brought to the show. She even took me outside to make sure I had seen the dresses in the window!(which I'm glad she did) We were the only party in the store so we had free range to pick through any of the david tutera dresses we wanted! After picking out a few dresses, kathy helped me try them on and made me feel absolutely beautiful in each one! And guess what?!?! I ended up falling in love with the dress she showed me IN THE WINDOW! So I think it's safe to say I wouldn't have found my perfect dress if she wouldn't have taken the time to make sure I had seen every single one. She also helped me find a gorgeous veil. She was so sweet and personal; gave us all the time we wanted and we never felt rushed. I never really felt like a bride until this experience! So, if ur looking for a dress I HIGHLY recomend Kathy and Encore F&B. She knows how to make a bride really feel special!! Oh, and make an appointment on a monday. it's an "appointment only" day, that way u can have the entire store to urself!!! I promise, u will have the bridal experience of ur dreams!! 😄

tant excuses as to why my wedding dress was not even started on 2 weeks before my wedding, even though I dropped off my dress and paid the $400 alteration fee two months prior to my wedding date. Lots of tears and stress. I also had some trouble hearing from them prior to alterations. They never called when my dress and veil came in, and at one point had trouble locating it in their store when I went to pick the dress up. It was an extremely stressful ordeal. Although the Sophia Tolli dresses are gorgeous, I would strongly recommend purchasing their gowns at a different location. This was the worst experience ever.

sses at Encore, for such an affordable price! You can easily become overwhelmed at the amount of dresses hanging around you, but Encore has the perfect selection size. The third dress I tried on was the one for me! Encore was there every step of the way. I was able to buy my dress and have it altered all at the same place. I would give yourself plenty of time for alterations, but my dress fit perfectly. I'm so thankful that I had such a positive experience at Encore! I recommend Encore to anyone in need of a wedding dress, bridesmaids dresses or grooms attire!

llowed me to when I wanted and gave honest opinions and suggestions. They obviously love their job and were truly interested in helping me find the perfect dress. I found it, and it was beautiful. Everyone, even Kathy, looked misty-eyed when I put it on. I left to go to my other appointment and it was like a Zoo, with so many people and 2 Customer service folks who didn't hear a word of what I wanted. They brought me exactly what I asked not to try on - telling me they didn't think my choices would look good and that they had a better dress in mind every time I asked to see a specific dress.. They pressured me into buying 20 minutes later so I could ring a bell and have a photo - they were so overbearing I almost had a meltdown! So we left and went straight back to Encore - bought a much more beautiful and unique dress, and formed a relationship with Kathy and Vivian. I paid more than I would have at the other store, but this dress was truly more unique than anything the other guys carried. It was worth it. Throughout the process, they talked plans with me, Vivian worked endlessly to customize my dress and alter it to accommodate my constantly fluctuating size. They were such an important part of my day and worked so hard to make it perfect for me that I invited them to celebrate with my friends and family. At my wedding, I briefly got to hug Kathy, and Vivian's heart was with us I know! This is a family-type place run by Truly wonderful people - and the dress was amazing too!

nd didn't have a huge budget for a gown. She pulled several dresses and allowed us to look and pull dresses. Both my Mom and myself enjoyed the experience and would recommend Encore to other brides to be. I also had my alterations done and Vivian was friendly and the dress was perfect.

dding process just as special as it should be. Kathy & Vivian are the sweetest ladies and unlike some of the other stores I visited, they are not pushy sales people. They are there to help, but they have no interest in pressuring you to buy. From the first time of finding "the dress" to the very last fitting, I felt comfortable, special and beautiful at their shop. They constantly gave compliments and asked about the wedding... and what Bride doesn't want to talk about their wedding? :) At the final fitting, they gave me a parting gift (a bridal emergency kit) and I found that very thoughtful. They truly went over and beyond to make the wedding dress an easy and delightful part of the planning. If you're looking for your wedding dress, or even your bridesmaid dresses, I would definitely recommend going to Encore. Even if you aren't able to find your perfect dress, you will definitely find amazing customer service and it's definitely worth checking out!

and I was always greeted with a smile and received the assistance that I needed. All of the bridesmaids' dresses were special orders, and they arrived before the expected date and looked great on all of the girls. My dress had to be altered as well as minor alterations on the bridesmaids' dresses. Great care was taken in making those alterations and I could not have been happier with the final product. My wedding was even more beautiful than I had imagined it to be!

ridesmaid dress crisis come up and Vivian and Kathy worked with my bridal party to get everyone looking amazing and feeling great for the big day! I highly recommend shopping at Encore! They make you feel like a princess and you are remembered when you go into the store!

nd to ensure that I was satisfied. Vivian also helped my mother select a gown and did an excellent job altering it. These ladies are truly heaven-sent. Vivian helped me try on several dresses until I was 100% sure that I had found the perfect dress. It is hard to find genuine people who truly care, but with Vivian and Kathy I found expertise, professionalism, perfection, and most of all friendship. I had many, many appointments with Vivian and at each one she was always patient, professional, and took the time to ensure that everything was perfect for my special day. I never felt pressured or rushed. I highly recommend Encore Formals... A+ service.

ss for my 20th anniversary, and Ms. Vivian does and awesome job with any alterations you may need, she even did my bridesmaides dresses I purchased somewhere else.If your looking for Suits for your groom and groomsmen Encore offers a wide selection of styles and colors my guys had a ball with Ms.Kathy, and Ms. Vivian. Encore also offers appointments on Mondays where you and your party could shop and try on dresses and suites without any other shoppers being in the store. Everything is made so convenient and hasstle free at Encores.I would definitely recommend and shop again for any other occasions I may have in the future. I Love You Ms. Kathy and Ms. Vivian!!!💙

h them! They made my experience from start to finish so easy and fun. They constantly made me feel beautiful in my dress and after my last alterations, they even gave a thoughtful gift of a bridal emergency kit. The store, though on the smaller side, offers gorgeous dresses. I can't promise that you'll find "the one" but I do know you'll have a pleasant experience if you give it a shot :)
