I would highly recommend this bridal salon!
I had previous been to two other stores towards the Cities and had no luck. This salon made my guests and I feel so welcomed!
They al...
so had a wide variety of sizes, which I appreciated, being plus size myself. The staff did a great job at pulling dresses I had shared in my questionnaire. They did an amazing job at making me feel confident.
I especially love how I was the only customer in the store, so it felt very personable, which is needed when finding the perfect dress! Cannot recommend this salon enough!!
The staff here is amazing. They were so helpful and kind. I went to a few different shops and everyone in my party agreed this was by far the best experience. The store is cute, co...
mfortable and clean. The Liz Simon line they carry is perfect for petite brides. I was able to combine the top of one dress with the bottom of another without any outrageous customization fees. They were also super helpful connecting me with local options for my alterations.
I had the most amazing experience at Finery Bridal Chic. I found my dream wedding dress here, and the entire process was truly wonderful. The staff was incredibly sweet, attentive,...
and genuinely excited for me. They even helped rush order my dress, which made a huge difference and kept everything stress-free. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel like a princess. If you’re looking for a beautiful gown and an exceptional bridal shopping experience, Finery Bridal Chic is the place to go!

Words cannot describe how amazing my experience was at Finery Bridal Chic working with Claire and Carol. I had been searching for a specific dress that I had seen on social media ...
and really was just going there to try it on. During my time with them, it was just me and my guests and it was so special. I was able to look through all of the dresses and try on the one I was searching for. They pay so much attention to detail as well as the facial expressions during your time trying dresses on. I would say I like this or I wish this was different and they would go pull a dress that fit those details to a T. Their knowledge of dresses and their inventory is amazing and they really make you feel so special! I found my dream dress (not the one I went to try on) and they were so great with the ordering time, and Claire was so accommodating to me when my dress was coming in since I lived further away and would need to take time off to travel to the shop! These ladies are amazing and I will always recommend to anyone getting married that they need to go shopping here!
Seriously the best bridal shop I went to, and I went to quite a few! Claire and Carol were fantastic and made the experience everything I was hoping for! I would recommend this sho...
p to anyone. So glad I got my dress here.❤️
Finery Bridal Chic is a gem in Rochester! The shop is so lovely and a welcoming experience for the bride and her guests. I was really struggling to decide on a dress especially bec...
ause I was looking for something timeless; but Finery offered a beautiful selection of tasteful, modern, and customizable gowns. The team at Finery Bridal is so helpful; it's evident that the owner Claire carries years of experience and understands the bride. She made me feel comfortable by patiently answering my questions and not being pushy. I've been to many bridal shops and this was by far my favorite and the classiest!
I walked in extremely nervous and dreading trying on dresses as a curvy girl. Carol immediately saw how I was feeling and made it her goal that I would start feeling beautiful by t...
he first dress I tried on. Not only did she make me feel extremely comfortable, and help me get excited about the process, but she made sure it was an overall fun experience from start to finish. I found my dress and couldn’t have been more happy it was at such an amazing place! I would highly recommend this place to anyone, especially if they have any doubts or fears going into the dress buying experience!!
Can’t wait to get my Studio Levana dress and to see my future husbands face at our first look!
This was absolutely the best experience I’ve ever had shopping for my bridal gown. It was the 11th store I had been to (I didn’t go initially because we had just moved to town). Cl...
aire and Carol were AMAZING. They found me a dress I didn’t even know I wanted or could pull off, they were true cheerleaders and made me feel loved since I didn’t have friends or family with me (due to covid).
I had an incredible experience with Finery Bridal Chic! Carol and Claire were extremely helpful and really know how to make a girl feel beautiful along with making a bride's trip m...
emorable. They have some of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen and since I'm a curvy girl I was worried there wouldn't be anything for me. Boy was I wrong! They had so many choices it was hard to choose. But they were right when they say a bride just knows. I love my dress and absolutely love Finery Bridal Chic for making me feel so special!
The Finery was the first bridal shop I had ever gone to, and after going to multiple other shops I knew I found my dress at the Finery! Claire and Carol were SO helpful and shared ...
their honest opinions with me which was exactly what I needed. I am planning to wear my Mom’s veil on my wedding day, and they graciously let me try the veil on with almost every dress I tried on. I am so pleased with my experience and would highly recommend this shop to anyone searching for a bridal gown!!! YOU HAVE TO SHOP HERE IF YOU ARE IN THE ROCHESTER AREA!
I didn't find my dress, but instead found a silhouette to go off of. This was an amazing first experience. Claire and Carol were so wonderful! From the one on one consultation/appo...
intment, to the follow up, everything was spot on! Absolutely would recommend!
Such an awesome experience, Claire is great to work with!!
By the time I arrived at Finery Bridal, I had already been to two others bridal shops. Walking into Finery, I immediately felt welcome and at east. I was shopping with my maid of h...
onor, and we both had a wonderful time there. Carol was incredibly helpful and did not rush me, even when I wanted to try a dress on again. I would highly recommend Finery Bridal. My other dress shopping experiences were fine, but I left feeling discouraged and overwhelmed; I left Finery excited about my dress and my upcoming wedding. I cannot wait until my dress arrives.
UPDATE: My wedding has come and gone--my dress was absolutely wonderful. I could not be happier.
Short and sweet: I couldn't be happier with my choice to get my dress (and beautiful accessories!) at Finery Bridal Chic. Make an appointment to see the beautiful dresses - you wil...
l not be disappointed. You will be so well taken care of.
For the full story: My only goal with wedding planning was to keep it as low stress as possible. I wasn't going to get a "real" wedding dress because I had seen my friends go through the stress of trying to find a shop they liked, then a dress they liked, then dealing with sizing/ordering/alterations/etc - not to mention the cost. I'm doing a beach wedding so I thought a simple white dress would do. I was finally convinced by my friends to at least try on bridal gowns. I thought for sure I would have to travel to the Twin Cities to get the dresses and experience I was looking for - but I was so wrong! I pass the Finery Bridal Chic store every day to work, so I decided to make an appointment. From the moment I walked in I was taken care of like a close friend instead of like a potential sale. Claire and Carol were so sweet and kind taking time to answer so many of my questions and help me walk through the process. The dresses are beautiful, and so unique. The shop has picked wonderful designers who allow for customizations to make sure you get your dream dress.
As I tried on dresses they were great at providing input and advice when I asked for it, but not pushing me towards any dresses or styles. They offered suggestions of other styles based on things I liked - they know their dresses inside and out! The whole process was transparent including cost, turnaround time, expectations, etc. They have dresses for almost every budget and they made no attempts to try and up-sell or push expensive dresses or add-ons. As I narrowed down my choices they didn't make me feel bad for wanting to see different dresses on a second (or third!) time. They really wanted to help me get the dress that would make me the happiest on my wedding day. They truly made the experience stress free - and I cannot thank them enough!
I went from not even wanting a dress to falling in LOVE with my dress. It's made me even more excited for my wedding. I'm so happy to be a Finery Bridal Chic bride!
I went to 7 different wedding shops and hands down had the best experience at The Finery! The even opened up specifically for me on a Sunday so I could try on their gowns. They hav...
e a such a unique and personal way of presenting gowns and truly make you feel a certain way. I would recommend to all of my friends and family, that if you are in the market for a wedding gown, The Finery Bridal Chic is by far the experience experience I had looking for a dress in Iowa and Southern Minnesota. A lot of places have great gowns but it was the charisma and service that make me love my dress choice 100000 times more.
Claire at Finery Bridal is fantastic! I had such a wonderful experience shopping for a wedding gown with her. The selection at Finery Bridal is vast and beautiful. Customer service...
couldn’t have been better. I would highly recommend Finery Bridal for any and all brides shopping for wedding gowns.
Claire was awesome! She dedicated 2 hours to me, after store hours. Her shop is beautiful and filled with gorgeous and unique dresses. She will take your vision for a dress and mak...
e it happen.
Finery bridal is the epitome of “The Best Ever!” The salon itself is chic and trendy and takes you to a heightened level of elegance. From the moment I walked in the door, Claire a...
nd Carol warmly welcomed my party with mimosas and bubbly and made us all comfortable. Their gowns are BEYOND GORGEOUS and what I love about them is they are unique - they aren’t the same old dress that you’ve already seen in tons of photos online. I would recommend Finery Bridal to any and all future brides in SE MN area.
These ladies were amazing! Very helpful!!!
Carol was amazing. She greeted us at the door and was so thrilled to help even with my rather large bridal party. She was so helpful picking out a dress - she let me figure out my ...
style but provided helpful suggestions, and let my crew pick out dresses but kept them in my comfort zone. We found the most amazing dress, and she helped use accessories to make it utterly perfect. With custom changes my dress is going to be unique and so me. I could not be happier with it!!
Claire & the staff at Finery Bridal Chic were so wonderful to work with. They made the experience so personalized and comfortable! I was the ONLY bride in store, which I think is t...
he best thing about them. They only do one-on-one appointments, and having all of their focus on me and my dress made the experience so special.
I found my perfect dress, and I would highly suggest making your appointment with them!
I was so lucky to have Carol help me find my dream dress at Finery Bridal! I had tried on a dress I loved but expressed how much I wanted a dress with sleeves. When I returned to t...
ry on the same dress a few weeks later the sleeves were so nicely tacked on so I could truly envision how I would look on my special day. This was the sweetest gesture. To add to the fun, Claire and Carol also have an elegant selection of dresses for rehearsal dinners or bachelorette parties!
One word: entourage! When I met Claire at her meet and greet, I said I’m bringing an entourage, she said, “that’s great!” Claire and Carol were so inviting, courteous, and made su...
re no one had an empty beverage ;) we had the salon to ourselves and we essentially had a party! It was all our first time ever going gown shopping so we had no expectations, but at the same time high expectations and Finery met them all!
Claire was amazing! Let alone scheduling an appointment with them was super easy as they have all available times online so there isn't much back and forth on that end which for me...
was very convenient.
The situation for me choosing their salon was different in regards to the fact that I am based in Chicago and unfortunately had a family event in Iowa which led to a nice break for my mom and I to go shopping in MN (plus tax free is a bonus!). During our appointment we were lucky and the only ones in the salon. For me dress shopping was a dreadful event as I am awkward and have insecurities. Claire and her assistant handled it great! Offered a glass of wine while we discussed preferences and went along with the shopping experience.
Both Claire and her assistant worked well together which made the experience relieving and lighthearted. They were great about pulling different styles for me and working through some of the insecurities I had as well as answering all sizing/alteration questions. I was able to find a dress and vail within my dress budget which was amazing.
A big win was being able to order the dress through them and having the chance to get it shipped to my house so that I don't have to drive out the MN once it comes in. Claire has been very involved with updating me up front about the ordering process with the designer which is comforting. Also while I was chatting with Claire about alterations as this will be done in Chicago she helped give ideas to find the right person to do it, let alone she was luckily familiar with Chicago so she gave me a reference to call as well. Excited to get the dress in 4 months!
I would suggest going to them as it is a cute shop and they are very comforting. Worth the drive! Also the savings on taxes :)
Claire has put so much love and dedication into Finery and there is no doubt how much it shows. The selection is truly one of a kind in the state of Minnesota and there is somethin...
g for every style of bride and every body type. My favorite part is how customized the experience is to each bride. Claire and Carol really listen to your vision and make it come to life with the dresses they help you choose.
The ladies at Finery were absolutely wonderful! It was an amazing experience, from beautiful gowns to some much needed refreshments! Claire and Carol were so personable and focused...
on finding the perfect dress for me. I would highly recommend to any bride!! 💗
