EVOKE: the bridal experience

estions about what kind of style, material, and silhouette I was looking for, as well as how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. Then I went through the dresses on the racks to pick which ones I gravitated towards and my mom picked some too. While trying on dresses they asked me what I liked about the dress and what I didn't like; to help narrow down my search. They were super attentive and body positive. I had the best experience AND I said yes to my dress!

I was able to try on dresses that *actually* fit me without having to be held up with clips and panels. The staff is so incredibly helpful and you can tell that they are truly invested in every bride that goes in to the store. They made me feel safe, comfortable, confident, and valid in every dress I tried on. They are truly size inclusive, and they have a great selection of dresses in all kinds of styles and all reasonably priced! If you're stressed about dress shopping (and even if you're not) THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! GO TO EVOKE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

rience there is what you hope and look forward to having when shopping for a dress for your special day. Hayley and Tabitha have an eye for what you would like and what dresses fit your style and taste. They were very attentive and cared about me getting exactly what I wanted. I said yes to the dress at evoke and I hope many other people do too!

ent! I was nervous to go wedding dress shopping but my apprehension was instantly lifted as soon as we walked in the door. We were greeted with the warmest welcome and the sample dress sizes were SO inclusive. As a bigger girl I wasn't having to squeeze in to dresses and be pinned and cinched and feel like I was spilling out of the dresses that I tried on! No awkward wedding sizing that alienates most women here! I really appreciated how they were able to include everyone in our group in the process. We were given pins (family and friends one color, and me the bride had another color) and we had so much fun walking around and looking at all of the beautiful gowns and pinning our favorites! But when it was time to get in to all of the dresses, Tabitha took me into a private dressing room so I had an opportunity to breathe and put on the dresses in private before showing everyone. I really, really appreciated that! Admittedly, there were some dresses I didn't show the entire group because I knew that they weren't what I was looking for. Having that private area allowed me to do that a not feel guilty or like I HAD to stand in front of everyone in a dress that I wasn't comfortable in. Not only did they give amazing energy to me and my family and friends but they took the time to teach us about each gown that I tried on. What the cut and color was, what the variations could be, why one style worked and others didn't, and even gave some awesome fashion history facts along the way! Plus, the number rating system was a huge help! Towards the end of the appointment they did some truly special, and that was allowing me to put my favorite dresses back on again. They styled each dress as a complete look with accessories, (earrings, hair pins, and a veil), and Tabitha even did my hair so we could get a better idea of what it could look like on my wedding day. It was amazingly personal touches like that that made our experience so special! This shop is truly one-of-a-kind and is an amazing place to shop for your wedding dress and accessories. EVOKE: the bridal experience has an amazing team behind it and their mission to include and make every person feel welcome, beautiful, and special is such a breath of fresh air. Book your appointment now! You'll be so glad that you did!

tive and I loved having a private appointment. Tabitha helped me with all of the dresses and even found the dress I chose that crossed off all of my wants! My favorite part of my entire experience was when I picked my favorite dress and Tabitha and Haley transformed me by putting my hair in a cute bun, a veil, the dress and earrings! It made myself and everyone I brought with me truly feel how special the moment was! I loved being able to support a small business and I plan on recommending them to all of my friends!

iends, mom, and I felt very comfortable and they were so helpful. You also get the whole place for you and your guests which is great! I didn’t find my dress the first time, but I knew that I wanted to purchase my wedding dress from them so I went in for a second appointment. They even ordered a sample gown for me to try on from a designer. Thank you Hayley and Tabitha for helping me find my dress!

erience. Evoke has a large selection of plus size gowns and celebrates diversity in all shapes and forms. The gowns are also very reasonably priced! My mom, maid of honor, and I were greeted with glasses of champagne and a warm welcome. Tabitha sat down with me and took the time to find out about my vibe, budget, wedding details, and what I was hoping for in a gown. I was able to browse the racks before selecting several gowns to try on. Tabitha and Hayley also know their stock super well and were able to suggest/pull gowns that I may have passed over, but I'm so glad I got to see them on my body. Not only were they extremely thorough, but they were so fun! We laughed and joked the entire appointment. I am happy to say I found my perfect gown at Evoke, and Tabitha encouraged my maid of honor to ask me "the question", making it so special for me to say yes to my dress! We celebrated with more champagne and pictures with the say yes to the dress sign! I highly recommend visiting Evoke and letting Tabitha and Hayley make you feel like the most beautiful bride in the world! It was a fabulous experience and I can't wait for my wedding day in my Evoke gown!

owns, and so much help in making everything perfect. Check these lovely girls out!

e shop, because they do things by appointment only, and from the moment I walked through the door Tabatha was highly focused on finding me my dream dress! I tried on one of everything (well it felt like it at least 🙃) because I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss out on anything and these ladies made it happen. I didn’t purchase before leaving that day, but I immediately knew which one I wanted the next day and ordered it. They actually suggested that I go home and think about which one I want first- I never felt pressure to make a purchase in that moment and that’s a major deal to me! They genuinely do this because they love finding brides their dream dress and now I couldn’t imagine getting my gown from anyone else!!

el comfortable and confident!! I had a great time and even though I did say YES TO THE DRESS 😊💗, I felt absolutely no pressure in buying anything. The gowns were all gorgeous and the prices were great. I loved my experience and highly recommend this boutique!

st bridal appt for 2021. Hayley (the owner) is SO KNOWLEDGEABLE, body inclusive and honest. Tabitha, my stylist, listened to what I was looking for, pulled similar wedding gowns that were similar to my interests and made this whole experience so much FUN. Tabitha, you made me feel like a dang wedding princess. I had already visited 5 other bridal places before this and I can tell you, their customer service is top notch. Their price range is AMAZING. All the dresses I loved were within my 1300-2000 range. Hayley even recommended me cheaper options to customize my gown. So many bridal places kept pushing me to have the designer “customize” my dress and Hayley discussed much cheaper options that would do the exact same thing. Even though I didn’t buy my gown just yet, I KNOW that I will be coming back to Evoke. I would recommend them, 10/10. Hands down.
