I signed my contract and purchased my beautiful dress today August 4, 2024!!!! But then I noticed that I was charged almost $1000 more than the price tag attached to the dress $299...
5.This dress has had the same tag since I first tried it on in April 2024! When I alerted the cashier she said the price was $3899. I asked is that with the 10% off, she said yes. So I asked to see the dress because I know the price tag said $2995. When they brought it the tag price was indeed $2995. The manager Ericka said she could NOT honor the price tag of the dress with the 10% discount as promised. I would encourage every bride to make sure they are not being over charged!
Tragic experience. Got there started off super sweet they said we could look around and see which dresses we like. Got Celine as our consultant who was quite rude. After explaining...
what I liked and picking out a few dresses she felt all her dress picks were superior and made me feel like I had to like her picks. I felt overwhelmed at the bereavement of questions and went into my dressing room to cry after another consultant named Abby was super sweet and saw I felt overwhelmed. Unfortunately they were unable to pair me with someone else.
The dress options were beautiful and I do hope they get better people and remove those who just aren’t fit to be in this kind job. Not sure if Celine was having a bad day or if this is her usual but highly recommend she be moved to a less customer front.
Erika was super helpful. I told her everything I had tried and things I didn't like in prior dresses. I even showed her my ALMOST dress and she promised me that she had something t...
hat would absolutely beat that dress... AND IT DID!
I unfortunately did not have a great experience at this Impression Bridal. It started off great with my stylist and I trying on dresses to narrow down that I liked. But then the ma...
nger came into my dressing room and interrupted us to insinuate that my budget was too low and they wouldn't be able to help me then to argue with me over whether I received a call before my appointment confirming by budget (she even went off to ask the person responsible for calling. it seemed like she had some need to prove herself right and prove me wrong.)
I straight up asked her if I should just leave and she tried to rectify the situation by saying I was welcome there, but once she left I asked my stylist to ask her not to come back into my dressing room. We finished trying on dresses and I left and instead went to Impression Bridal Baybrook where they were much more welcoming. I had a great experience at that location, so I would recommend them over the galleria location.
I had a great experience at Impression Bridal. The staff treated me like I was on Say Yes to the Dress. And most importantly, I was able to find my dream dress in budget.
Impressions Bridal and Ericka were so great! She was able to look at some pictures of dresses I liked and pulled so many amazing options for me to look at. The dress I found was ju...
st beautiful and definitely fit the vision I had in my head. When it came time for alterations, Anna did such an incredible job. You can tell she knows how to take a dress and make it fit to you like it was made for you!
When first entering this store I thought there was no way such gorgeous wedding dresses would fit my budget. However, the amazing Ericka was able to stick within my limits and find...
the dress of my dreams! The only suggestion I would make to future brides and bridesmaids is consider sizing up as I and all but one of my bridesmaids had to let out their dresses or difficulty fitting it the day of. Would definitely recommend for gorgeous dresses with great quality fabric at a reasonable price!
They made it easy to feel pretty and beautiful. They listened to what I wanted and made it happen. They had a good selection if plus size dresses for me to try on.
This was only the second bridal shop I went to. I had a feeling I would find “The One” here and I did. I was looking for an A-line dress that wasn’t white white. My stylist, Alyse,...
was soooo sweet and helped me feel comfortable in every dress I tried on. She listened to what I wanted and my budget and she delivered! Once I received my dress and came back to get it altered, the seamstress Anna worked her magic. She made my dress fit me like a glove and added side support (for the girls). I loved my entire experience with Impression Bridal.
I’ve been to quite a few salons to try on dresses and while I have not yet found my dress, I would recommend most all of the salons to friends looking in the future. Impression wil...

The people working there were so encouraging and pleasant to work with. They had so many beautiful dresses to choose from and they were so respectful of my budget. They showed mayb...
e one dress that was a bit above my budget (I’m talking maybe $100/200) but everything else was what I was thinking about and well within what I could do! Would recommend to everyone!

I was not at all sure what to expect when it came to picking my wedding dress but I couldn’t have been happier with all the service and help I got! My dress was perfect for me and ...
my wedding and the alterations service was amazing and so easy! Definitely recommend checking out the lovely team at this location if you’re looking for your dream dress!
Tori was the most amazing stylist I could have had. She really sat down and listened to what I wanted and she found dresses I didn't think I would even like. I wanted a A-line dres...
s with a low back and long sleeves but I ended up leaving with a ballroom dress with off the shoulder sleeves but bought sleeves that will be put on. I don't think I would have found my dress without Tori's help.
Jazmin helped me find my dream dress, and I went in with minimal knowledge of what I wanted. She was very knowledgeable with how to do it all and even eased some of my fears (I.e. ...
bustle falling). She blew past my expectations, which were high as an avid SYTTD watcher! Thank you Jazmin!
Alyse was AMAZING! she was so patient with me and my mom and really helped us to be SURE that we made the right choice. It was a huge store with tons of options and I found the one...

Tori was absolutely amazing! I had no idea what I wanted and I didn’t think I would find my dress. She was thorough with her probing questions to get an idea of what would go with ...
my wedding theme and she found MY DRESS!!!! I am so excited 😆
No need to waste your time going anywhere else to find a wedding dress. I had gone to 3 bridal shops bridal to Impression. Ericka sat down and talked to me for about 5 minutes abou...
t my wedding and what I wanted in a wedding dress. She came back with 5 dresses and I immediately fell in love with the first dress she gave me. Ericka helped me match up a sequin layer to add to the dress and gave me a great discount for the addition! My dress ended up being delayed in customs due to COVID and arrived very end of April. I had Bridals scheduled for beginning of May, so impressions waved the rush fee for my alternations and had my dress ready before my Bridals!
Cristina was an absolute joy and an amazing consultant! I got very lucky with her!!!! I found my dress and I can’t wait to walk down the isle in it! They are NOT pushy, rude or any...
thing like the negative reviews state- they are very willing to work with you- made me feel very comfortable and I’m very happy I made my purchase at this bridal boutique!!!!! If you know what you want this is the place to go!
Jazmin was INCREDIBLE. She took some time at the initial stages of the appointment to truly understand my venue, what I was looking for in a dress, and how I wanted to feel. Throug...
hout the whole appointment she made me feel confident and explained all of the unique ways the salon could help me customize my options. She really nailed it and I selected the first dress I tried on. I would HIGHLY recommend this bridal salon - it was such a high end and positive experience.
Ericka did a great job identifying dresses for me to try on. I felt like I didn't have a good idea of how to describe my style, but she had it all figured out just from some of the...
pictures I brought. It was definitely a hard decision to make at the end - torn between two very different dresses at that location and one at a different dress location, and I had lots of questions. She was able to get them all answered and I ultimately went with one of their beautiful dresses.
Our daughter had a great experience finding and buying her gown at Impression. The compliments about how stunning her gown was have not stopped rolling in! She asked for some uni...
que alterations and they were done beautifully. The staff were always friendly and we always left feeling great about the experience. We feel like what we paid for the dress was a great value and we never felt pressured or like we were being a bother when she wanted to come back to try it again to help her decide.
Wow! Where to start?! First of all this review is well overdue!
I started late looking for my wedding gown (3 months before our wedding date 10.10.2020), needless to say I was in ...
a panic mode! One of my girlfriends in Houston, TX recommended Impression Bridal Galleria but I initially hesitated due to distance since I live in Dallas, TX.
My fiancé Ryan asked me to start with a phone call and talk to someone from Impression Bridal Galleria and Katie answered! Wow this lady was (still is) amazing from the very first Hello! I was panicking that I was late “in the game” and that I wouldn’t find something in my size as I’m petite and usually wear a size 0 or 00 depending on where I get my outfits. She reassured me a bunch saying how I.B. has several options for me. Katie took down my information and what I was looking for in a dress. She was so attentive over the phone, very cool, calm and collected! She texted me photos of dress options based on what we had talked about earlier. Even when I wasn’t feeling a dress, she didn’t give me attitude about it… neither was she pushy like a car salesman! She kept going back on the floor to take more photos of different dresses. I was sold! Couple of days later I was on the road with one of my girlfriends to Houston!
We were met with smiles and warmth upon entering Impression Bridal Galleria! The ladies at the front desk gave us an exceptional welcome! I finally met Katie in person and let me tell you… she is golden! Amazing! You name it!!! So gracious from her walk, to her speech to her entire demeanor! I love that! Coz Lord knows I needed all the grace haha! She had several dresses picked out so we got started! She gave me all her time, attention and patience! Plus several options each time I hesitated about something. She kept going back and forth with the manager and seamstress to get my vision and dream for my dress! Oh plus the veil! She LISTENED and REALLY worked with my budget! Katie was good at thinking on her feet... Her kindness and graciousness made me feel at ease during the entire process even when I got undecided and confused after hours of trying on dresses. I finally found my dream dress and gorgeous veil thanks to Katie!! Yaay I got to say YES TO THE DRESS!! I love how the rest of Impression Bridal team got involved during the process. They offered support, compliments, feedback and even worked with Katie in providing me other options within my budget beyond my expectation!
Katie, Wow thank you again for all your hardwork, exceptional service and your going above and beyond for me! You truly are great at what you do! You are a great listener, attentive to detail, gracious, knowledgeable, smart, courteous, amazing, so kind and my goodness so patient!! Love how you addressed my girlfriends and I by name! Noticed and appreciated that detail! Thank you for all the attention you gave me over the phone from that very first call, to all the texts back and forth and the very day we met! Not once did I feel rushed or pressured to make a decision! You were so understanding and tried to make things work to my advantage from various angles, scenarios and all! I can't thank you enough for all that you did for me!! I couldn't stop talking about you and your exemplary service! My girlfriends were blown away by you and so was/is Ryan and my Mom! Now I know where to send all my single girlfriends to... I’m definitely telling them to specifically ask for you! You rock!!
Very large selection of gowns, however, very pushy with sales. The price will change dramatically if you would like a day to think about it. This made shopping for a wedding dress ...
feel like buying a used car. Almost found the dress, but due to the price changing and pushiness of the staff I decided to go elsewhere.
In today’s time, we have to remember COVID-19 has been has a game changer in how we get married. Now, with wedding insurance being almost impossible to obtain, you want to insure y...
our money is well spent and insured. When wedding vendors stick to contracts knowing that they have the advantage over customers is completely wrong. I would suggest you not use Impression Bridal in the Galleria. They want me to take wedding dress home or charge a $25 a monyh fee for storage. I have already gotten married and if I bring that dress home my husband will see it before we walk down the isle. Due to COVID-19 my wedding was rescheduled for one year later.
Then I received a call saying it is my job to call and harass my wedding party on picking up their dresses now when the wedding is a year away. I am not calling people knowing they have been affected by Covid-19! Impression Bridal will say whatever to get you to buy your dress from their store. After you pay your deposit they won’t care about you at all. My friend went went with Wedding by Debbie and they worked with their brides and wedding party.
This place was absolutely wonderful!!! My stylist Zhariah really delivered and completely understood me!!! She is the best and so patient. Also very knowledgeable about the gowns. ...
I had been to 3 different stores before stopping here, and I can honestly say this was my last stop. After finding MY DRESS and Having MY MOMENT, no other stops were needed. Thanks again ladies you are amazing!!!
Great experience, staff was very professional and helpful.
DO NOT BUY YOUR DRESS HERE! WE MADE A PAYMENT ABOUT A MONTH AGO TOWARDS MY GOWN AND TODAY WHEN I CALLED FOR A FOLLOWUP APPOINTMENT TO BRING A BRIDESMAID WHO CAME IN FROM CHINA TO S...
HOW IT TO HER THEY SAID A PAYMENT WAS NEVER RECIEVED AND THEY NEEDED ME TO PAY THEM MONEY TO COME BACK TO THE STORE. THEY SCAMMED US OUT OF OUR MONEY AND NOW I HAVE TO GO FIND A NEW GOWN. IM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED
What a memorable experience! I had the pleasure of working with T.T. as my stylist. She took the time to get to know my vision for my wedding day. I was totally defeated from my pa...
st experience with dress shopping. T.T. made me see that while yes you want to look pretty in the dress, it's really about how you feel in the dress. Overall, I had an amazing experience at Impression bridal. And for those of you who took the time to read this review, I did say, "Yes to the dress at Impression Bridal!"
I have used impression for my prom dress, a bridesmaid dress for a wedding I was in, and my own wedding dress! The staff is amazing, and really care about making sure you get the ...
dress you want! The whole experience of getting my dress was perfect! Alterations were even better! Anna is AMAZING, and will get your dress looking exactly how it needs to be, and have you looking amazing in it!
My consultant knew how to balance the fairy tale experience with practicality and analytics, and was so fun to be around! Only complaint is she put a dress on me that didn't have a...
price tag (it was a new design and wasn't supposed to be for sale), so we didn't know it was over my budget until I fell in love and we had to figure it out. Thankfully they provide a 10% discount if you purchase that day, so it was easier to absorb.
I bought my dress from Impression Bridal Bay Brook but received my alterations for it from Impression Bridal Galleria location. Both of these stores made me feel welcome and took t...
he time to listen to me. My stylist at both locations did not make me feel rush and listened to my concerns. Seamstress, Anna at the Galleria location is a miracle worker! She is such a sweetheart and her work are magical. I highly recommend her for your bridal alterations, the amount I paid (was NOT a ridiculous amount) was definitely worth the price. I also received a dress preservation coupon from Impression Bridal which I plan on using.
T.T. Taylor was the sweetest, most helpful person I could of had. I came here after having a bad experience with David’s Bridal and I was shocked on how amazing this appointment wa...
s compared to the old one. I came in here looking for my bridesmaids dresses, but T.T. Taylor told me we had to find my dress first before finding my bridesmaids. So I went in thinking “I want lace” but when I tried on lace dresses, I was like this isn’t me. Then she brought out a dress I was completely shocked by, it was elegant, simple but beautiful. That was the dress I fell in love with. I can’t thank her enough with all the help she’s giving me. I highly recommend this place, I’ve had nothing but great experiences!!
I enjoyed shopping here! The atmosphere was warm and inviting.
My stylist, Jazmin, was AMAZING!! She worked so hard to find the perfect dress for my special day, with a smile on her face. I made it a little harder since the dress I chose was...
the complete opposite of what I wanted initially haha. But the entire staff made me feel so comfortable and I would definitely recommend this place to look your wedding dress.
Very inviting atmosphere! They will work with you and cater to your taste
I really love Impression Bridal Houston Galleria! They have the most beautiful wedding dresses in town! I'm really happy for my niece's wedding dress and my dress as the maid of ho...
nor. The staff members have great customer services skills with a big smile in face. :)
They're always nice and kind to customers, even if they're busy! Please, ask for Margareth, the manager, Alysse or Venetia.... They are amazing!!! :)
Thank you Impression Bridal Houston Galleria!

While the service was really good and I did end up getting my wedding gown in this store, during my search i went to a lot of other stores and Impression Bridal may have been the o...
ne with the least amazing service. Again, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't fantastic. There were points, both when I was trying on gowns and when I got the alterations done that it felt as if the people were tired of me. I must say that the girls at the front desk are fantastic! Always in a good mood and very helpful and welcoming.
I had so much funny looking for my gown. John was a huge help at the West Loop location.

tures, and shared my budget, my consultant pulled dresses for me. I fell in love with the first one I tried on! They were amazing to work with for alterations, and able to customize and put a rush on my order. Loved working with them!
Our wedding was 9/30/17. I got my wedding dress and all the bridesmaid dresses at Impression Bridal Galleria. Stephanie Clevenger was my Bridal Consultant and I highly recommend he...
r. She takes such great care of you all the way up to the day of your wedding. She loves what she does and that's the type of person you need when you're trying to find the most important dress of your life. The bridal shop itself has such a huge selection and all the staff is so nice and welcoming.
I went here with my mother to find my wedding dress. When we walked in, we were really impressed with their selection. It appears that your experience here is dependent on which co...
nsultant you get, and we did not have a good experience. She was not very kind when I said I wanted to stay under $2000 for a dress, but did show me their room that had discontinued dresses that we could buy off the rack. She asked my street size, explained that wedding dresses run very small, and we started pulling dresses. She did find several that I thought I would like, but when we went to try them on she wasn't interested in any dresses that required work getting on. I could have wiggled into several or put them on over my head (my hips are much fuller than my top half), but when we came across one that she thought might be too small, she said "this just isn't your dress" and moved on to the next one. . At other salons, consultants were at least willing to hold the dress up in front if there was no way to try them on so I could get an idea of the dress. I was only allowed to try on 4 dresses in the entire store and she was unable to clip the ones that were far too large. She was also very slow. It took her an absurd amount of time to tie the corset on one dress and would just disappear for periods of time while I was in a dress at the mirror showing my mom. I don't know if she was having a bad day, had recently suffered a loss due to the hurricane, or is always like this, but I felt so unwelcome and stressed out during the appointment. I was so relieved when the appointment was over and I will not be giving this place a second chance. I'm sure if you find the right consultant, you'll have a better experience.
Impression Bridal was the absolute perfect place to find my wedding gown. I ended up going to their outlet because we had a small budget, and there was an incredible selection. The...
staff was wonderful and attentive, and allowed me to bring a group of my friends to be with me for the appointment. I found a stunning dress for a seriously outrageously low price. I also ended up taking the dress to the Impression Bridal near the Galleria for alterations, and they were incredible there too! They changed the top of my dress because it was too big, created a bustle, and it came out PERFECTLY on my wedding day! They were all so kind and attentive. I cannot recommend them more highly.
I had the best experience at Impression Bridal! I stumbled into the store one day without an appointment looking for bridesmaid dresses. Cristina helped find exactly what I want, ...
which was a dress I definitely would not have picked off the rack on my own. She then told me that she wanted to help me find my dress! I made an appointment to come back a month later and she took her time with me (over 3.5 hours!) to make sure I found the perfect dress. The dress I ended up choosing was the last dress I tried on that Cristina had also picked out! The entire team at Impression knew my name & my mom’s name as I came in multiple times for fittings over the next few months with Anna (their amazing seamstress!). My mother even found her dress at Impression with the help of Taunie, the manager of the store. I would recommend them 1000 times over!
I cannot say enough good things about Impression Bridal in the Galleria area. After a humiliating first dress appointment at a small boutique, I went to Impression Bridal without m...
uch expectation. However, my consultant was knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate, and funny. She listened to what I wanted and allowed me to pick out my dresses. Thanks to Impression Bridal's exclusive designers, I was able to find a truly unique dress unlike anything I've ever seen. It's like this dress was made for me! When the dress arrived, it did not fit very well, but the tailor and the entire team worked for months to make my dress perfect; ordering me a low-back bustier and sewing it into the dress, making multiple alterations, fixes, and customizations, and being incredibly supportive and responsive. If you want an amazing dress buying experience with people who know what they're talking about and have a huge selection, go to Impression Bridal!
I have nothing but good things to say about Impression Bridal. I was a little nervous about walking in without an appointment, but I felt very welcomed as soon as I walked in. Taun...
i went above and beyond to help me find the perfect wedding dress and I can't thank her enough. She treated me like her own daughter and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole process. Every little detail of buying the dress was taken care of with ease, including setting up the alterations appointment months down the road and knowing exactly what to expect for the cost of alterations. Thank you for all your help, Tauni! I wouldn't have found the perfect dress without your expertise and guidance.
I got my wedding dress, veil, belt, and hair piece from Impression Bridal.
I tried on 5 wedding dresses after the consultant talked with me about what style I wanted. After she no...
ticed I liked the top of one dress and the bottom of another, she asked if it was okay to pull another dress slightly above my budget. It ended up being the perfect dress. The consultant totally got my style. When I decided it was the one they popped champagne and we all celebrated! The store is very chic and modern with huge mirrors and chandeliers, it feels really special.
We got a discount for buying the dress on our first visit.
The consultant gave me a veil and belt to try on with the dress. I ended up buying the exact same belt and veil a few months later because I liked the way they looked so much.
I ordered my dress in August and it arrived in November. I had 3 total appointments for alterations, it only took a few weeks. The tailor recommended a few tweaks to the dress that made it look even better.
When I came in for accessories, they let me try on a sample of my dress again so I could get a better feel of the accessories.
After alterations were done, they held on the my dress for a few months until the wedding and cleaned it right before the big day.
I loved this place! Everyone was nice and I had no complaints.
They have some nice dresses here, however I did not find the one. I walked in and there were a whole bunch of girls behind the counter on their phones and talking and no one welcom...
ed me or greeted me, I had to say excuse me for them to look up and talk to me! They are all Rude!! This one arabic lady helped me, she made the whole experience awful! She is very rude and wanted me to buy a dress that she loved and wanted to wear for her wedding day. I found the designer that I wanted to go with and it just so happened, that they were having a trunk show. I went and she was worse the second time. Even more rude to my aunt and grandmother! WOULD NEVER GO BACK NOR TELL ANYONE TO WASTE THEIR TIME HERE!
I loved this place and had a great experience all-around (friendly staff, prompt appointments, beautiful dresses). I ended up getting my dress at the outlet store on the west side...
of town (couture dress for a reasonable price) and had the tailoring done at the Galleria store (reasonable price for alterations, too). I love how they set up alternations appointments (3 appointments) so you really know the dress will look amazing. Xiomara, the alterations person, was FANTASTIC... knowledgeable, sweet, patient and did wonderful work! She let my mom and I take all the time we needed (which was important because my mom lives out of town). I highly recommend Impression Bridal and recommend Xiomara the most!!
I found my wedding dress and was so excited. I paid for my dress, had it ordered (with more than enough time – about a year out) and everything seemed to go smooth. Shortly after I...
scheduled another apt (for a few weeks out) to try on the dress for my future mother in law. She flew in for the occasion and as we were about 10 min away from arriving at the store, we get a call that they do not have the dress at the store. They did not apologize nor did they sympathize with the situation, customer service – not there AT ALL. BUT I was trying to be optimistic and figured sometimes, things happen. After 7 months, my dress finally arrived. I scheduled an apt to come in for alterations and was excited. The NIGHT (8:30 PM), I was contacted and they said the seamstress doesn’t work on that day, so they needed to cancel. The next morning I contacted the manager, who fit me in a couple of days later. Once I arrived, they could not find my dress for about 10 min. Once they did, it opened it – WRONG COLOR. The manager then said she would have the RIGHT dress expedited. I was not so nervous until she told me that it would take another 3 months to get here (Yes, expedited). I was then in contact with another manager the next Monday and was told I would get a call back first thing the next morning…..AND NOTHING. This has been the most horrible experience EVER.
