We opened Lovely Bride as a haven for brides who wanted a wedding dress shopping experience that felt fun and laid-back, while showcasing the coolest indie designers that weren't so 'available'. Fashion industry veteran, Lanie List, had experience building lifestyle brands, so she set out to create that Lovely Life, with Instagram-worthy shops, a blog about wedding fashion, and a loyal following of brides and brand fans we call #ourlovelies. Word spread about the new way we were doing bridal, which brought us a lot of attention, including love from smart women around the country who wanted a Lovely in their town. So Lanie decided to franchise Lovely, since she loved the idea of helping women get into business. Today, Lovely is a collective of 18 individually-owned bridal shops, run by entrepreneurial, hardworking women who care deeply about offering a personalized and locally-focused experience. By shopping at Lovely, you shop local, independent and women-owned. Good on you!

I came into Lovely Bride at the end of June 2020, I'm so upset about my experience that I'm writing a review now, nearly 7 months later. My appointment was with Hannah who I had told that my budget was $3,500. I needed a dress of the rack becau...
se my wedding date was scheduled only a few months after this appt (pandemic caused). After trying on a few dresses *all of which Hannah knew the exact price of* I fell in love with Milla Nova's Emri dress and was considering buying it then and there. To my surprise, Hannah told me that she did not know the how much the Emri Dress cost and called the manager over to consult. They whispered back and forth, which I thought was off. Hannah and her manager let me know that the dress (off the rack) would cost my exact budget - $3,500. I decided to call around to different stores and see how much the dress was sold for elsewhere, they all said $2200 (some said $2300 or $2400). I asked several stores what the price was for off the rack, several said $1100. There were several stores in NYC that had the dress listed at $2200 so the NYC rent excuse is null here. Lovely Bride knew I was desperate for a dress so they took advantage and tried to up charge me by $2,400. The place is cute, it has trendy dresses, but if you go please make sure you look at the tag of your dress when you try on and take picture of it (they will never follow up in email like they say, believe me, press them for the name of the dress you love). Following your appointment do what I did and call around to make sure Lovely Bride isn't trying to scam you like they did me.

never picked for myself but ended up loving. The thing that sets Lovely Bride apart from more traditional salons is the type of dresses they carry here. They’re incredibly well curated & stylish. The ONLY thing that gave me pause is that they require you to pay in full (some salons offer payment plans) - but still a great experience. Can’t wait for my dress to come.

I was excited to go to Lovely Bride but didn't have the best experience. Ten minutes after my appointment was supposed to start, the doors to the store were still locked and no one was answering the phone. During the appointment, none of the dr...
esses from my Wishlist were prepared so I had to search my email to get the names of the dresses. It seems like some brides get phone consults before their appointment (I didn't). I tried calling and emailing prior to my appointment to confirm but couldn't get through to anyone, except an email response back the night before requesting I fill out a questionnaire which I had already filled out. Overall, although they were friendly at the actual appointment, the lack of preparedness and communication took away from the experience and I would be too nervous to purchase a dress from this salon.

I worked with two fantastic ladies who wanted nothing more than to find something that made me feel like "me" and confident, beautiful, and elegant - I ended up purchasing Goldie by Dear Hart, a dress that I saw on the hanger and said - no way, but then put on and LOVED! Can't tell you how many compliments I got on my classicly cut, but super unique dress.

an article of clothing you wish you could find, we all know you don’t find it. My first trip to Lovely NYC was my 6th stop on the journey to find my dress, and I met my wonderful consultant, Nicole. I went in thinking Made With Love would be my designer, and tried on a ton of GORGEOUS MWL gowns... two of which I left thinking about, but ultimately didn’t have that ‘this is the one’ feeling about. Fast forward 5 appointments later... continuing to find dresses I loved but that didn’t feel like ‘the one’, I made another appointment at Lovely to explore other designers. I chose to go back for a second time because out of all the 10 other consultants I worked with along the way, I didn’t find any who made me feel as at ease and supported through the process as Nicole did. I’m happy to say that at my second visit to Lovely, and the last of my ELEVEN dress shopping trips, I found ‘the dress’. The dress I have been imagining in my head, convinced that I won’t find anywhere, had just arrived at the shop and was hanging in front of me. Nicole’s patience, support, bubbly/ encouraging personality, and genuine desire to help me find my dream dress was unmatched. If you are looking for a bridal salon and consultant who genuinely care about you finding your perfect dress, make an appointment at Lovely immediately! Thank you Lovely Bride and Nicole, I cannot wait to wear my dress down the aisle and feel like the best version of myself I could have ever dreamed of!

are/couldn't be bothered. She barely helped me into my dress and though I had corresponded over email with the shop about the accessories I wanted to try on (veils, capes, etc.) and was told they would be available she claimed most of them were not and didn't even double check. It was very clear that she wanted to rush the appointment. I had to ask "can I please try this veil here" on or "this hair piece"? She offered no suggestions and often wandered off. In the end I decided to order a veil from my designer that was not available in store, but was told could be ordered. I was quoted a price $100 more expensive than the designer's price on her website and was told she would have to email to see it was even available in a few days and would get back to me. I had serious doubts she would remember to so I went home and ordered the veil myself online! Finally, returning to the dressing room early I asked to try on a dress for my welcome party (that again, I confirmed just days prior was available and in my accessories appointment notes) and was told I only have 5 minutes left in my appointment (sounds about the right time a girl needs to try it on, right?). No surprise at all, but Kelsey said it wasn't available. I pushed back and she claimed that maybe the dress was no longer available in store. LIES. My family and I were able to laugh about the absurdity of the experience after, but it was definitely disappointing that picking up my dress and having an accessories appointment, which should have been a no-stress joyous occasion was a real downer. Management, please coach your employees better and remember that a customer is important even after a sale is made! There was a missed opportunity to make more sales and in general, this left a bad, final impression of the shop. Brides, take note!

at they could not have made a mistake. The $1200 alteration fee on the bodice alone was either because my daughter had lost weight or that Boston based tailor, AllFit, gouged us. The fact is that they unnecessarily upsized the bodice, charging us $200 to do so. They carefully reminded us that we should check the fine print--that fit issues were NOT their responsibility. Life is just too short to do business with a company that doesn't stand behind its services. Take your business somewhere else.

Lovely is so fun for brides + bridal parties! I was able to find my wedding dress here, which totally fit my vintage glamour vision (for reference, it was a fully beaded Theia Serena gown!). Lovely is one of those places that offers very cool, ...
vintage, eclectic/indie, and refined dresses and many are right in the sweet spot of medium-priced or affordable. It really takes the stuffiness out of the dress purchasing experience with the fun/modern décor, appointment process, and the stylists! Lovely even accommodated a price match that I had found (discounted) at another bridal store, but I had such a good experience with Lovely that I wanted to purchase there!! The stylist we had the day of (Erica) was SO cool and she was honestly key to finding the one– I really liked her! She made my group feel so at ease, helped me try on probably 25 dresses, recommended dresses, and took pictures of both me and my friends with me. I came in with ideas about the dresses I had seen, but you could probably have gone in blind and have a different (also wonderful) experience altogether. Erica’s approach was really perfect for me – she was just laid back but the perfect amount of an advisor in the search : ) The process of getting an appointment is pretty easy – you book online and also indicate brands you are into, though book early if you want a big party to go with you (mine was small and I was trying on dresses in summer time so it wasn’t much of an issue). For reference, I first visited in June, 2018 and picked up my dress in November, 2018. The dress was ready in less than the quoted amount of time. There were only two things I wish were different: 1). That they would allow you to pay for your dress in parts –initial payment and total payment. This is what the website said but I was told I had to pay for the entire dress altogether. It was fine because I had the money, but if I hadn’t this would have been cost prohibitive, 2). That you can have the same stylist check you out/help you when you make a follow up appointment and pick up your dress. I would have loved to tell Erica that this was the one and close the loop like that!

The salon itself is beautiful and welcoming, with a cute decor and a clean bathroom :) Each bride to be gets a private section of the salon, with its own changing area/mirrors, which was an added bonus. The variety of dresses that Lovely carries is wide (simple/modern to very “Bridal” and more traditional), and all of them are so tasteful. No matter what your taste, I think it’s hard not to find a dress you liked here. Abi, the consultant who worked with us, was such a blessing. She was super professional and knowledgeable, with a no-BS attitude, and we loved our session with her. Given how pressed for time I am, she was very clear in what could and couldn’t be done in this timeframe. Because the sample that I was looking at was “gently used”, she got the manager, Erica, involved very quickly and I ended up with an amazing discount on the dress. Erica was also really friendly, professional, and accommodating. Thank you to Abi, Erica, and all of the staff at Lovely for the wonderful experience from start to finish. I highly recommend making an appointment if you’re still searching for that special wedding dress.

selection of dresses, each dressing room was private and very spacious, and the back of the store had natural light shining in with bigger mirrors to get an even better feel of how you look in the dresses. The Stylist who worked with me was Hannah B. I cannot express how amazing she is – like truly amazing. She knew her stuff, gave honest input, was very professional and her personality was great! I went in with a vision of what I thought I wanted but was also very open minded to trying on new styles. I liked how she didn’t just listen to what I THOUGHT I liked/wanted to try on, but she also recommended a few styles/dresses she thought would look good on me. After just one dress, I knew it was the one – but again I was open minded to trying on more dresses to be sure. With each dress, Hannah gave her honest opinion – which I so appreciated. It was nice to have an outside voice besides the people I brought with me. After trying on a bunch of dresses, I put back on the first dress I had tried and we moved into the larger space in the back where there was natural light beaming through the large windows, a big mirror and accessories. I had told her that I didn’t think I wanted a veil but was open to try some on. After trying a few on, she did express that she liked the veil (so did my mom), but once I told her that I pictured my hair being curled and half pinned back with baby breaths wrapped in, she told me to 100% go that route. She didn’t try to push me to buy a veil from them and supported/confirmed my vision of what I wanted, saying it was the perfect hair combination with the dress I was wearing if I decided to go with it. I appreciated that as well. Hannah called that the first dress I put on – which I must say was absolutely nothing like what I went in thinking I would pick – was going to be THE dress. And guess what? She was right!!! I even had another appointment at a different place after Lovely that I decided to still go to, but ended up coming right back after that one ended (which she said would happen! Her exact words were “see you at 4:30 pm when you come back for THE dress, because I know that’s exactly what that one is.” No matter how gorgeous and perfect the dress is that I got, I couldn’t have done it without Hannah B. I can honestly say that she was what made my wedding dress shopping experience beyond perfect. Thank you so much Hannah, there aren’t enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation!

I was introduced to Lovely when my sister in law found her dress there and I just had to make the stop on my wedding experience. My consultant Debra was just wonderful! She was the only consultant I experienced that genuinely asked questions ab...
out my fiancé, my engagement, wedding, etc. She listened to the style I was looking for and helped me pick my wedding dress! The pricing of the gowns in my opinion is very reasonable.

Let me tell you that Stephanie made my first experience awesome ! I came in talking about I want something sexy , shiny , “unsafe” / daring and blah blah but my last piece was the OPPOSITE OF IT and I cried. My beauty stood out from that dress....
I realized that I didn’t want my dress to standout but I wanted to stand out from it. Plus the shops’ decor is amazing !!!!!

The quality and level of service are incredible. I'm not the average woman/bride who grew up dreaming of her wedding, so this whole thing has been a learning experience for me. Not only did I find a dress that is SO "ME" (super minimal, structu...
red, and form-fitting), I had an absolutely wonderful time doing it! My stylist Hannah was amazing - her energy is so chill and supportive and she is super knowledgeable. It is a big deal that everyone here seems to really understand design, construction, and patterns because it means you can really understand how the dress is going to look on you after it is tailored to you. This is not the same at other bridal shops I went to where I couldn't even tell how the dress looked because it was so poorly fit/pinned on my body. I can't recommend Lovely enough!

I loved my experience at Lovely Bride. I'm from upstate and made the trip to NYC because of the designer Made With Love. The salon is gorgeous and they did everything that I needed to visualize how I'd look on my wedding day. However, I went to...
one of the seamstresses they recommended and had a horrible experience. But, I was pleased up until that point.

Truthfully I was starting to think that finding my dream dress just was not going to happen. After having searched on the internet for countless weeks, and unfortunately having one poor experience at a different bridal salon, I found Lovely! Wi...
th having traveled from CT, my stylist made our time completely worth while. She treated me like a princess from the get go and we (my mom and I) would have bought a $10,000 dress from her JUST due to her personality and guidance! I ended up leaving with my perfect dress and have told everyone I know to make the trip to Tribeca so they too can be a Lovely Bride! Thank you for making my wedding dress dreams come true! - Taylor
