I had a wonderful time finding my wedding dress at I Do I Do! They have so many dresses to choose from and are so helpful in assisting you and listening to your preferences. The staff is so kind! I also got my dresses altered here as well, and it fit perfectly! Definitely recommend all GA brides check this place out!!

I had the best time at I Do I Do! Jessica helped me and was the best! There is such a great variety of dresses! They were super accommodating with my budget. I felt like the staff listened to what I was looking for and I found the most perfect dress for my wedding day! Athens brides need to go to I Do I Do!

Buying my dress here was fine. As soon as alterations/fittings started, things went downhill. The alterations are literally not made to fit you (if you have any curves that aren't perfectly even). Even when I told them that my hips are about 1/3" off, they would not mark the spot to alter it too. They dismissed us when we stated anything and then the dress ended up bunching up and looking horrible... In which the seamstress said "well you won't be standing like this" and mimic'ed my back arch (that I mentioned to them 100 times because I have MILD scoliosis).... The seamstress at one point literally said, "well you'll be holding a bouquet" implying that it will hide the huge wrinkles/bulges from the dress not fitting after alterations... She mentioned using tape to hold the dress up as well.... I had to take it elsewhere to have it fixed and when I tried it on for the first time since I do I do's alterations, all the hardware broke (the snaps for my removable sleeves & the hook at the top of my zipper). Also, the owner was the one with us that was dismissing our comments at the second fitting... the seamstress wasn't even present. If you buy a dress here that needs alterations other than a simple hemming, take it somewhere else.

Loved I do, I do bridal. They had lots of wedding dress options and styles. They also had mother of the bride and brides maid dresses as well. They also offer alterations in house with quick turn over time so you can try on your dress sooner to make sure it’s the perfect fit. They have been in the wedding dress business for many years! I would highly recommend!

Got my cousins wedding dress here and it was such a fun experience! Beautiful dresses and great prices. Staff was very helpful

10/12/2023 • Valerie M

Great service, great attention to detail and very supportive! They are very honest and upfront about cost and help you with every step along the way of picking "THE" dress! I am very appreciative for them and highly recommend you check this boutique!

11/24/2022 • Stephanie T

I had a great experience at this shop with every staff member I dealt with, especially Jessica! She listened to what I was looking for and found my dress on the first try! It was literally the first dress she pulled! She's amazing, the lady who did my alterations did a fantastic job, and everyone was so nice! Highly recommend!!

Kendall and Jessica were the best. There was only one other bride in the shop while I was there and I dropped by without an appointment. I must say that the style of dress that I initially thought would make me look fat ended up being my favorite. I have a follow up appointment as they helped me narrow down what I am looking for and I will not be going anywhere else. The staff is so welcoming

5/05/2022 • Lauren H

This was the first place that I tried on dresses and I went to a few after where the experience just didn’t feel the same as it did at I Do, I Do! The atmosphere is very cozy and low key which I really enjoyed. I ended up coming back and Jessica was so helpful and sweet and helped me make my final decision by adding a few unique touches to my dress! Overall I had a great experience and will definitely be bringing my bridesmaids back to get their dresses from here as well!

My experience buying my dream dress at idoido was nothing short of magical. Everything from the dress selections, to the experience of trying them on, and alterations and so forth was wonderful. I worked closely with the store owner, Jessica. Not only is she maybe the kindest and sweetest human ever, but she made this whole process stress free for me. The dresses that she has at this store to choose from are all so diverse and unique and I truly wanted to try each and every dress on. I live in Buckhead and there are a million places to shop for bridal gowns but truly, TRULY, her selection stands out from other boutiques. I valued her input on the alternations I made and the different ways I could style my dress and by the time she helped me select and veil and accessories I truly did not know I could feel so beautiful. I felt the most beautiful a bride could feel on my wedding day because of Jessica’s help and I feel forever indebted to her and her incredible store!

I had such a great experience here! This was my second store trying on dresses and I found so many options that I loved which made it hard to choose, but they were so patient and helpful. I can’t wait for my dream dress to come in! I will always recommend brides go here first!

1/12/2022 • Alli S

The had a beautiful selection on gowns and I honestly loved a few of them. However, don’t go for the experience. This my my 1st place ever trying on dresses and I was so disappointed with the “experience” part. There were 2 girls there. One sat behind the counter and ate her door-dashed meal while the other helped zip my dresses with no commentary at all. I had to introduce myself when I walked in because no one approached me. It honestly just killed my excitement. Wish they had sweeter employees to match the beautiful dresses. I notice some of these reviews say the same about the employees other than the owner.

11/23/2021 • Ashley H

After going to several bridal shops, I Do, I Do was by far the best. They had a great selection, were very kind any time I worked with them, and prices were very reasonable. (I ended up getting my dress from a trunk show, which helped even more.) Alterations were a BREEZE with the wonderful seamstress that works with the shop, and prices were also much more reasonable than any other seamstress I had worked with before. I can't recommend I Do, I Do enough!

2/10/2020 • Kerry J

The ladies at I Do I Do could not have been better. They made the whole process of finding a dress fun. Their selection was great. They have the most beautiful dresses! The dress made it in in record time. Teresa, the seamstress, was also fabulous in altering the dress. She basically made it custom fit to my body type. This dress was huge and detailed, and she fixed it flawlessly. Dress fittings were easy and fast. She is so affordable I don’t know how she doesn’t charge more for her superior skill!

I was in town visiting family with the hope of finding my wedding dress. I knew I'd have to find something straight off the rack as I didn't have nearly enough time to order a dress before the wedding. I was a walk-in but unlike other walk-in experiences I have had, I was given so much attention and had help available at all times. I found my dress! It was exactly what I had imagined wearing and there were a handful of other dresses that I truly loved too. There were some flaws on the dress, understandable for how many women must have tried it on, and it was priced incredibly fair for the condition. I couldn't be happier with my experience.

9/20/2018 • Brittany L

This has by far been the best bridal salon I have visited. The women there are incredibly helpful and sweet! I’ve been several times now to do alterations and it’s been a great experience each time. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

5/26/2018 • Sarah B

Very nice and helpful ladies. Dresses at a very affordable price.

2/11/2018 • Kacy O

I got my bridesmaids dresses at I Do, I Do, and I’m so glad I did! I chose to have each lady wear a different dress, and I was anxious that I wouldn’t be able to coordinate the details and make it look like the fairytale vision in my head, but the ladies there were so helpful, and their selection is amazing! We were in and out in under 2 hours, and the dresses were beautiful!

1/16/2018 • Madi R

The people here are so helpful and friendly, and the selection of dresses is wonderful! I found my dream wedding dress, and got all of my bridesmaid dresses from here! Would highly recommend everyone to go here. My experience was so much greater here than at any other bridal shop I visited.

I Do, I Do was the third boutique I visited when shopping for wedding dresses. The first two were pushy, not very helpful, over-expensive, and just didn't make me feel comfortable... I was blown away by I Do I Do. My appointment on a snow/icy day last January, but they still came to the store and treated me so nicely when my family couldn't make it to give me advise. I fell in love with a dress there. It was unique, stunning, and did not cost a fortune. It was important to me to have something special, but not spend my savings on it. And the dress I bought from I Do did all of that. The moment I put my dress on on my wedding day, I was told the rest of the night how gorgeous my dress was and how it was nothing they'd seen before. ALSO, the alterations process was so smooth and also didn't break the bank (talking $100, compared to other boutiques asking for $1000 for alterations). I can't remember her name (she's worked there for years), but she was just the sweetest lady who clearly took her time with my special dress!

5/14/2016 • Bridget G

I went into I Do, I Do after 2 very disappointing and stressful bridal appointments elsewhere so I went in expecting more of the same. I was extremely pleasantly surprised. The ease of scheduling an appointment was amazing and the studio itself is lovely and tasteful. I cannot say enough good things about my consultant, Lex; she's awesome! She made me feel so comfortable and she truly listened to my likes and dislikes while still offering me tons of different dress styles. The dress I chose after my second appointment ended up being something completely different from what I thought I wanted but I couldn't be happier.

6/24/2015 • Julianna B

I didn't think bridal salons like this existed! They have a beautiful selection, and not the insane pricing of most salons in Atlanta. They offer tailoring for only $80, no matter what needs to be done. I live in Louisiana and they were so accommodating about making time for me when I could come intown.

6/10/2015 • Taylor A

I am so glad we chose I Do I Do to first look for my wedding dress. The staff there are so nice and accommodating. They will not show you a dress that is out of your price range and they are so patient with you as you try things on. I Do I Do will store your dress for you until your wedding and will also preserve it, which is really nice to have everything in one spot. Teresa is wonderful for alterations. We had to do a good bit of work on my dress and the price and quality of her alterations were top notch. Definitely make sure I Do I Do is on your list of bridal shops to visit!

1/20/2015 • Meredith S

The wonderful ladies at I Do were so easy to work with. I came to the store with my bridesmaids and mom. They were great in helping me find my dress and my bridesmaids. Teresa did my alterations and she was great to work with. She even helped to fit my bridesmaids dress who is 7 months pregnant!

10/12/2014 • Elizabeth M

I got my dress steamed before my wedding and cleaned and preserved after with I Do I Do. I have had mixed experiences. They have great staff and not so great staff. I didn't buy my dress there but based on how helpful the one person I worked with was I would assume it would be a decent place to do so.

6/06/2014 • Stephanie K

The staff at I Do I do Bridal Boutique in Athens, Georgia were extremely helpful when I came to pick my wedding gown. They were patient with my mother and me, listening to our ideas and responding appropriately. Because of their diligence, I ended up leaving the boutique that day with a wedding gown ordered! It was the very first shop we had gone to and I had several other appointments scheduled for that particular day - I called and cancelled all of them. When it came time to pick up the gown, they were understanding of my busy schedule and gladly held it for me longer than expected. When I did pick up my gown, it was steamed and packaged well for travel - we didn't have to do anything else besides put it on the day of. Overall, the ladies at I Do I Do were very professional and pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the Athens area looking for their wedding gown.

I enjoyed the process of getting my dress from here. Josalyn was a joy to work with and was extremely helpful with the difficult process of selecting a dress. Once I found the dress, the rest of the staff was not always as courteous as she was (on the phone and so on) and I was traveling from NC to do my fittings, so it could have been a little simpler. But, in the end, my dress fit well, the price was in my budget and I was happy. (And I'd highly recommend Josalyn - she's great!)

7/30/2013 • Morgan H

The staff here were very helpful and friendly. I found the perfect dress and they made the whole process special and fun! The only issue we had were appointments with the in house seamstress.

6/26/2013 • April K

I shopped around at a few stores in Athens and Greenville, SC and I Do, I Do Bridal Boutique was by far the friendliest and most comfortable. They gave me the positive experience I envisioned when I thought about shopping for my wedding dress. The staff is so helpful. I felt truly pampered and special and pretty! I ended up buying the first dress I tried on there (after trying on several and shopping around). They also helped me pick out bridesmaids dresses that were the perfect color and Teresa, the seamstress, did and excellent job with all alterations (on my dress and the bridesmaids') and she even made a sash for me to wear during the reception out of the bottom of one of my bridesmaid's dresses. I highly recommend I Do, I Do Bridal Boutique for anyone in the Northeast Georgia area!

My dress was magnificent and it was such a great deal. I didn't think I could get a "show-stopping" dress for under $1000, but I did! My veil was also beautiful, and they had a lot to choose from. They also cap the alterations cost at $75 which is HUGE - my sister spent hundreds of dollars on her alterations cost in Atlanta. Theresa did a fabulous job on the alterations and the bustle. Everyone at the store was incredibly nice, helpful, warm, and knowledgeable. I also got some of my wedding jewelry from there. I would recommend for people to shop there for their wedding (or bridesmaid dresses), because they will only have to go to one place!! You will love your dress and have money left over :)

5/20/2013 • Amy S

I loved working with these ladies! They have a large selection of gowns and a very helpful, attentive staff. The cost of many of the dresses is a little high, but the gowns are very high quality and they do the alterations for a low price (and really well!). Would definitely recommend them.

4/21/2013 • Robyn K

This was the first place I stopped to look for a wedding dress (picking my little sister up from UGA). It's a cute little boutique with a variety of dress styles. I showed the store owner, Patty, the style I was interested in, and she pulled similar dresses that fit my budget for me to try on. The third one was the one! They took my measurements and ordered my dress and veil. And since I found the dress 9 months before my wedding, they held it for me at the store once it was delivered. They also have a seamstress that will make any alterations for you for no more than $75! They steamed it the day before we picked it up, and everything looked perfect. Everyone in the store was so sweet and helpful. They also have pretty bridesmaids dresses in the back. This shop is 2 hours from where I live but was totally worth the long drives!

12/04/2012 • Valerie D

Laura, Patti, Teresa and the team were amazing. They worked me into their schedules for a quick turn around time. They also helped me find a sash that was perfect, my bridesmaids dresses, and changed my tuxes from one style and color to another with just one email. Amazing service, so nice, so flexible, and honest. Thank you!

11/09/2012 • Courtney H

I was very happy working with Patty and her team!

6/20/2012 • Casey S

I bought a beautiful dress here and the staff were amazing to work with. The dress was very reasonably priced in comparison to other places. The staff is very sweet and makes the experience unique.

6/08/2012 • Maggie E

I am normally a very picky person and usually negitive about customer service. I loved everyone at this shop. Great dresses and people. Plus the seamstress from the shop came out to our house since I was not able to make it to the store.

5/26/2012 •

I found my dream dress! The girls at I Do, I Do were great to work with. They are very professional everything went smoothly and just as planned. They had a great selection and do not pressure you into trying on more expensive dresses. I actually spent $1000 less on my dress than my original budget. I would definitely recommend them to any bride in the area.

4/07/2012 • Katie B

I bought a beautiful wedding dress from Patty at I Do I Do. She was so helpful and she even helped my mom find the perfect MOB dress. I loved going to the shop and having my fitting done.

2/21/2012 • Patrick C

We used I-do I -do for our entire wedding party (the girls and the guys) - They were helpful and really worked hard to make sure our day was perfect- we had some trouble with one of the sales girls not being helpful or happy but if you deal with the owner you will get great service!

1/26/2012 • Kristin H

My family and I were very happy with the selections, prices, and personal attention from the staff. They call you by first name walking in, very helpful, and reasonable. They did an amazing job with me, my mother, and the bridesmaids!

1/07/2012 • Stephanie B

Peggy and all the staff of I do I do Bridal were great from day 1 of shopping. They are not pushy or overbearing like some bridal stores can be. They are very kind and patient and love having all your girlfriends and family around you when you pick out a dress. The alterations went smooth and they fit it to me until I was satisfied. Wonderful place!!

11/22/2011 • Morgan M

The owner was wonderful but some of her employees not so great. The owner really took her time to get to know me and always made me feel special. Her seamstress is also really good she took my lace gown in 2 dress sizes and you couldn't even tell.

10/07/2011 • Mallary K

The staff at I Do I Do is wonderful! They are professional and make you feel special. They want every detail to be perfect. I highly recommend them for tuxedos as well. The guys looked amazing! The only hiccup we ran into was that one of the bridesmaids ended up with the wrong dress, but fortunately it was the same material and color as the other bridesmaids dresses and she actually ended up loving it! I have no doubt that they would have gone above and beyond to fix it in a timely manner otherwise. Overall, great experience!

7/27/2011 • Carmen T

I purchased my dress from I Do I Do. Pros: Good service, Inexpensive and quality alterations Cons: Can get a little busy at times, felt some pressure to choose a dress, limited options and sizes to try on

7/23/2011 • Katie H

The owner Patty is wonderful! She makes all her brides feel special and she is very dedicated to helping you look amazing on your wedding day.

6/07/2011 • Kristen S

I bought my dress at I Do I Do Bridal in Athens, Ga on my first trip to the store. What I liked most about this shop is that they are not pushy. They found styles of dresses I described, and made sure to stay in my price range. They didn't bring me dress "just a little over" my budget, which I found was a trend at other stores I went to. I must have stayed in my dress for 30 minutes, and they left me alone with my Mom and friends. They never said to me..."well is this the one?" or "so are you ready to buy," which i really appreciated. When we went to tell them we were going to put a down payment down, they were just as surprised/excited as we were. It was nice not to feel any pressure. Another great thing about this store is their alterations. They cap alterations at $75! No matter how many alterations you have, you only pay $75. Every experience I had at this store was great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

5/22/2011 • Amy S

Very helpful. Wished that they had more samples of bridesmaid dresses for girls to try on.

9/21/2010 • Amy C

I got my wedding dress, shoes, veil, and hair comb here. Everything looked so beautiful. The owner, Patty, was really helpful but everybody else who worked there wasn't that great. If you go, I would only go when Patty is there.

6/28/2010 • Laura R

I cannot sing the praises of this shop enough. The ladies there were SO extremely helpful and patient, even when I visited 4-5 times trying to figure out what dress I wanted. They found the perfect dress for me by listening to exactly what I wanted, then finding a dress that they no longer had on display but special-ordered for me. They helped me pick the perfect accessories as well! When it came in, they did the alterations and bustling - they always "cap" bridal alterations at $75, which ended up being SO much less than other places like David's Bridal. They steamed the dress for me to get a bridal portrait done, then steamed it AGAIN free of charge for the actual wedding. And when I have re-visited with friends who are wedding dress shopping, they still remember me by name!

6/28/2010 • Margo Bunny L

I initially shied away from I Do I Do because I thought it was too small to offer a variety, and I also thought they probably had a heavy sales pitch. Boy was I wrong! After being disappointed in the lack of selection at a national chain bridal store, I was so relieved to walk into I Do I Do and see more than 1 style of dress, not to mention that they can order anything you could possibly want. The service was superb - they greeted me promptly, weren't pushy at all, and really helped me find what I was looking for. They took care of all the details, and didn't overcharge me or try to up-sell me. I highly recommend them - I had a wonderful and pleasant experience with them and was impressed by their level of service, and the quality of their offerings.
