Lovely Bride Philadelphia

sh my dreams, instead she went and found one that was almost exactly the same and within my budget. Booking online was so easy and I love the how they ask questions on there to get idea of what I like, budget, etc. before coming in.

this place earlier!! If you are considering going.. GO! Lovely Bride Philly won’t let you down! I drove from NJ and so glad I did! Thank you Lovely Bride for having the dress of my dreams and for being mega sweet! Can’t wait to pick up my dress!!

t I worked with for accessories really listened to what I wanted and I never felt pressure to buy anything go over budget. I had my first fitting yesterday and fell in love with my dress and hairpiece I got at Lovely all over again! I wish I could go back and do it all again and would recommend Lovely Bride to any friend searching for their dream dress!

people waiting by the hour and not a very positive feeling for a special occasion. I have spoke to now 3 other brides with the same experience of feeling rushed and not important and have now given me other places where they felt special and said ‘yes’ to the dress! I hate that I have to give a review like this but feel like this has to be heard.

ld possibly be interested in within my budget. And they have a wonderfully diverse selection! Since I was working on a short timeline for my dress, they also made sure to tell me everything that was possible. When I showed interest in a particular dress, the owner reached out to the designer directly and immediately to make sure it could be done as a rush order. I know I would have absolutely been in great hands if I had chosen a dress from Lovely Bride, and I am glad I at least had an appointment here.

ot what I was going for and the only drawback of the appointment was that I loved everything she brought into the room for me so it was so hard to decide! Luckily she even helped me narrow down my search. You can tell shes a seasoned profess. Such a fun appointment with no pressure. Totally recommend!

e 6th - 7th dress she hit the nail on the head and brought in the dress of my dreams. The manager was there to assist, and was so pleasant and helpful as well. Dresses are so reasonably priced, and absolutely beautiful! Dont waste going any where else! Lovely Bride is all you need <3

ing dress I would someday wear (i.e. I'm clueless). I am also heavily tattooed and struggling to find a dress that would accentuate my tattoos and not clash with them. At each of my other bridal appointments (first at BHLDN and then Philadelphia Bridal Company), I was very upfront about my bridal cluelessness. I really needed a little hand-holding, but left those other stores feeling pressured and rushed and no closer to understanding what dress was right for me. Lyssa, my Bridal Stylist, made me feel comfortable and welcome from the get-go. She was happy to share her expertise about what may or may not work for my figure, my body art, and my budget. She was easygoing and fun to work with- and she kept things moving! I was able to try on about 6 or 7 dresses in the same 1-hour appt time that somehow only afforded me 3-4 try-ons at the other shops. The selection @ Lovely Bride Philly is great ( I honestly could have been happy in any of the dresses I tried on), the store is cute and clean, and the location is convenient. If you are a boho/non-traditional/alternative bride who doesn't want to break the bank, hit up Lyssa @ Lovely Bride!!

less. That was, until I walked into Lovely! The whole vibe was different, they were truly there for me. We tried on a bunch of dresses and my stylist even recommended trying on dresses that I would’ve never pulled for myself. And lucky for me she did, because I fell in love with the top of one dress and the bottom of another. I told my stylist I wish I could have this top with the other dresses skirt. And to that she replied you can! So they got on the phone with the designer and they are going to combine the two dresses to make my dream dress. When they held the skirt of the first dress to the one with the top I loved I instantly started to ugly cry, then my maid of honor started crying, and even the stylist and her mama get started crying. Now I am getting a ONE OF A KIND dress. If it wasn’t for Lovely Brides I don’t think I would have ever found a dress that I loved and felt beautiful in. I HIGHLY recommend lovely brides! They are the creme de la creme of bridal boutiques and customer service.

list and she was the sweetest and knew exactly what I wanted! Ivy, the shop owner, popped in multiple times too, and she was so knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone just makes you feel so special! I felt rushed and overwhelmed at other shops, but Lovely Bride was the exact opposite. I am so grateful for Lovely Bride Philly and the whole team there for making my experience a dream!

lping me pick the perfect veil and belt. Thank you team! The day and dress were perfect!

so happy to be a Lovely Bride!

that were perfect for me, and was super attentive. There was never any pressure placed on me, but I was so happy to find my dress during the appointment. I'm so happy to have purchased my dress here.

ed earlier than expected, and the whole process, from picking out what to try on to picking it up, was wonderful.

fted my spirit. I came in hoping to find a dress a similar to the one I have my mind set on but I came out with something more beautiful and elegant. Lyssa made my experience at Lovely's unforgettable. She was so positive and honest, I don't think I would find my dress without her.

pcoming day as you are. Sarah helped me and made sure to make me feel as though I was her only priority (an amazing feeling for a bride to be). They have amazing designers and great prices which was awesome to know I was going to be able to get what I wanted for a price wanted. My experience was everything I had hoped for since I imagined my wedding planning and getting my wedding dress. I will always be grateful for my experience here and would recommend Lovely every time.

t want to. She was excellent with choosing dresses in my style and price range! We were given a private room that was cozy and intimate; I didn’t have to worry about walking through a busy salon with everyone looking. I’d highly recommend Lovely Bride to anyone looking for an personalized and comfortable experience!!

website, which shows their pricing so there is no surprise at the end on the cost of a dress. I know when I put that dress on it was for me, however my mother wanted to see me in a few other options, and the girls had no issue pulling more gowns of similar style for me to try on. At no point did I ever feel rushed or pressured at this salon. The only thing that is a slight inconvenience is they do not do alterations in house. However they do recommend 3 different seamstresses, and I recommend using Irina Sigal for she was magnificent with the complexity of my dress.

xcited when I finally found the dress! I personally love Lovely Bride because they are one of the few that carry Limor Rosen and her work is outstanding. I went to a few of her trunk shows and I ended up choosing her Aria gown in a split size and had the bottom customized to be ivory. It was amazing! I also recommend Prim and Perverse for alterations - Courtney was great to work with.

ace to settle in and really helpful stylists. I was thrilled to say yes to the dress, and shed a tear with my mother and grandmother. I am so grateful to the staff at Lovely Bride for helping make my experience one to remember!

and did not put pressure on me to buy right away. Also I’m not a sample size and I fit in almost every dress they have a wide range of sizes! I highly recommend Lovely Bride to anyone, especially if you have nerves about the whole process. You will be treated so well here.

d. I worked with Ivy, who was an absolute dream. She made me feel comfortable while helping me narrow down and visualize what I wanted to feel like on my wedding day. It was like shopping with a trusted girlfriend who just happened to be an expert in all things bridal. Once I found my dress, Ivy suggested some great styling tips and brought the whole vision all together. If you are looking for an intimate shop to find a unique gown, do not pass up Lovely!

my dress, I found the most beautiful diamond encrusted head piece to compliment my dress. Lovely Bride was a hit!

bride. They made the entire process so FUN! I really felt like a bride and the entire experience was just a dream. My Kate McDonald Hughes gown was the best dress to dance the night away with my husband - definitely go and check out Lovely for the perfect experience to find your perfect dress!

would have never picked on my own.

limenting. Even though I had a wonderful dedicated attendant, several other girls at the store came in to join in on my experience. They really care about their brides and I seriously love everyone that works there! Unlike my previous dress shopping experience in NYC at a different store, my girl at lovely completely understood my vision and pulled out several figure flattering styles that matched my vision and price point. This is was critical to success as I came from out of town and had a crew with me so I had to find the one! Although I loved every dress I tried on, I feel hard for the Rue De Seine poppy stardust and we all knew it was the one. I think my favorite time was trying on accessories by myself ( ps- GO there for accessories). I had so much fun with the attendants as it was right after the royal wedding and was really feeling a tiara but boho. They had the perfect boho tiara for me as well as a second halo option I loved. Want to diversify your ceremony and reception look? Get two head pieces! If you want to feel like a boho princess, lovely bride is the store for you. You won’t regret it!

nd quickly realized what I liked and didn't. Then, I learned majority of places I was looking did not have the designers and style I was looking for; in came Lovely. I was in Philadelphia for a bridal shower last year and thought I'll make an appointment so my mom and I can go look. This was my 4th bridal shop searching but I was panicking because I still had plenty of time if I did not find what I was looking for. I gave my dress consultant my price range and she got to searching. She was honest with me and let me know one of the designers I was looking at started at my highest I would go. I tried on quite a few dresses in the hour and a half appointment, which was another reason I loved this place, and when my time was almost up I still had nothing I really loved. One final dress was brought in, which the hanger did nothing for, and she said I think you're going to love this. I put it on and before she pulled the curtain for my mom to see I exclaimed "this is it!" My mom saw it and agreed. Lovely has an amazing selection that is unique and with a variety of price ranges. If you want a dress that only a handful of people will wear, I can't recommend this place enough!

ress and accessories and am so happy that they are shipping my gown to me as I am out of town. Thanks so much for the memories and cannot wait to get my gown. Absolutely recommend this location.

s to sit comfortably while you try on dresses! They have a great dress selection at great price points. Once my dress arrived to the store I was able to make an appointment easily to try on my dress and again I was not rushed by any of the staff and was allowed to take my time trying my dress on again! I came back a final time for an accessories appointment which is such a unique and good idea! They put you in your dress at the store and then allow you to try on headpieces, jewelry, and belts to see what would look good together. I ended up also purchasing a headband and earrings from the store. Ivy, the owner, is great and she was so helpful through the entire process. I would definitely recommend this shop to any bride in search of her dress.

She also gave me great feedback on the dresses I tried on, not just saying everything looked great on me, and Ivy was also conscientous of my budget. While the selection of dresses is not huge they have a lot of really great and exclusive dresses. I was extremely happy with the whole experience and would highly recommend visiting Lovely Bride.

ent brands and designers. I think most of the dresses were a bit above my price range, but I had a good time trying dresses on and did not feel pressured. Lovely Bride was great in terms of getting back to me when I made my appointment only a few days before coming into town. My only pseudo-complaint is simply that I liked the experience I had at another bridal salon more than I liked it here.

dress I tried on, and was absolutely blown away by it! The ladies at Lovely were all so sweet, and made me feel like so incredibly good about myself! When it came to selecting a veil and accessories the girl were also so helpful. They truly listened to what I wanted, and allowed me to decide what I wanted instead of pushing any of their opinions on me. I would 100% recommend every bride go to Lovely Bride!

tyles she brought to the room. Finding my dress was stressfree, fun and so easy thanks to Lovely! I would highly recommend to all brides!

nd really takes their time with you. I was given a full hour when I picked up my dress and it was a perfect time to try on shoes and earrings with the dress (even though I changed my mind later). I would love an excuse to go there again!!

I tell everyone I know that is getting married to check them out! Thank you!

really knows what she is doing. She picked out the perfect gown, belt and veil for me. She knew what I wanted better than I did. I wasn't ready to commit the day I tried on my dress so she let me sleep on it and come back when I was ready. Everything was within my budget. I looked amazing at my wedding and I can't say enough great things. It was truly a lovely experience that myself, mom and mother-in-law enjoyed.

, Ivy, was also present throughout my appointment and answered any additional questions I had. I would definitely recommend Lovely Bride to a friend!

s so hard to choose! We worked with Ivy, she was amazing. She always gave her honest opinion which was greatly appreciated and she ALWAYS was sure to ask how I felt in the dress. I got a dress I felt comfortable in and it is everything I was looking for! Thank you so much Ivy and Lovely Bride for making this such a carefree and positive experience!

s. My family loved the experience and had nothing but nice things to say after. We had 7 people total in our appointment and they all fit in our room! Jess also put me in a fit & flare, something I would have never chosen for myself but ended up loving. All the dresses were gorgeous, there is a wide selection. When we went to another salon in the city for our next appointment, the stylist there was honestly a little off-putting and had zero of the insightful input or enthusiasm as Jess did earlier that day. All in all: Make Lovely Bride one of your stops for wedding dress shopping and ask for Jess!

I ended up getting the first dress I tried on. I wanted to try it on a second time and they were able to squeeze me in on short notice. Highly recommend.

maid of honor. After getting everyone situated in a private room, the consultant took me out to the show room with her to privately discuss my budget, styles I was interested in, and to pull an initial 4 or 5 dresses for me to try on. I appreciated that she really seemed to understand what I was looking for and provided me with honest guidance along the way. She was patient as I went back and forth between two dresses before deciding on the one that I thought might be "the one." I was shocked to find something I loved so quickly, but she wasn't pushy about making me commit to the dress that day and instead wrote all the details down for me so I could think it over. About 2 months later, when I realized I just couldn't stop thinking about that dress I went back to Lovely for a second appointment to try it on one more time before saying "yes!" After my final appointment to pick up my dress last weekend, I have now dealt with three different consultants at Lovely, each as sweet as the last. I felt relaxed, comfortable and confident leaving every appointment. And most importantly, I am so in love with my gown. Thank you Lovely Bride Philly for the great experience! I will definitely be recommending this boutique to other Philly area brides :)

l be beaten and can't wait to go back with my mom. The dresses are just stunning.

d nothing but nice things to say! My friends & I really felt welcomed! I found my dress and am heading back to "Say Yes to the Dress" in a few weeks with my mom! Can't wait! Thanks LB! XO, Kristen

nals, but rather like wispy young girls instead, who greet you with a weak handshake and would be more at home working at a Forever 21 in some mall. I was willing to overlook that though, since their inventory contained some promising options. What really rubbed me the wrong way, was the following: I was following the associate along a rack while she picked several options that did not grab me at all. No big deal, I realize that I'm a complete stranger to her so she shouldn't be expected to nail my preferences on the first attempts. But, growing impatient with the snail's pace at which we were moving, I asked if I could just do a quick scan of the wares myself to see what grabs me right away (I'm a VERY efficient shopper). In a laughably condescending tone, the sales associate responded, "Mmmm, the thing about these hour appointments is that, an hour seems like a lot, but it goes by really fast. If I let you browse around, that's going to take a lot of time, when we could be getting you into these dresses quickly." Apologies, I wasn't aware that selling wedding dresses requires the same level of expertise as a surgeon or aeronautical engineer, and that these associates are so much more equipped to select MY wedding dress than I am. After showing me a few more undesirable options, she finally asked "What's jumping out at you." So I immediately gravitated toward the proper section and selected some options to try, which I wound up not purchasing anyway. I highly recommend that you go to the Wedding Factor on South St. The ladies there are warm, funny, and professional. They will of course, suggest some items based on your preferred budget and stylistic preferences, but they will also let you meander to see what surprises you. I'm so glad they did, as I wound up choosing a dress in a style that I normally avoid, but I fell so in love with the details on this one that I made an exception. If Iris is around, ask for her. She made the shopping experience such a pleasure. Good luck with your search, everyone!

you on budget. They have the most gorgeous and rich dress options but can work with any budget. They made me feel so special there and I'm so happy I found the perfect dress for my perfect day. Forever a Lovely Bride!

he size so it didn't bother us. the salon also has a smaller selection but all the dresses were beautiful and i tried on about 7 all within my budget and style preference. the stylist really listened to what i was looking for but also did a great job at recommending dresses. we were allowed champagne as well to sip on and celebrate with! overall is was an amazing experience here!

for them! And would recommend them to every bride to be!

the middle of the store. The consultant brings you back into a personal room and you discuss budget and what you are looking for. Then the two of you browse the racks, which are full of so many amazing and unique gowns it makes it hard to choose! I worked with Julie who was so sweet and knowledgeable! She was more than happy to let me pick a few on my own and came up with so many great considerations. In the end I chose a beautiful Rue De Seine dress. I can't recommend both Lovely Bride and the designer Rue De Seine enough!

periences as a bridesmaid shopping with friends at large bridal salons. The first dress I tried on was the one and I would choose it all over again!

of gorgeous dresses that I loved even more than the ones in the photos I'd shown her! I had already tried on many dresses at other salons, but when I tried on the first one she brought out at Lovely, I cried and so did the entourage I brought with me. It happened to be a top and a skirt combination from two different designers, but with some help from Irina Sigal (the dressmaker they recommended), it was altered together and you would never guess it was two separate pieces. Also, the experience of shopping at Lovely Bride was amazing. They really focused on what was important to me, and made the process fun and easy. I'm glad I shopped around a little before coming here because it made me realize how awesome the service and quality is at Lovely Bride!

she did an amazing job. I can't recommend Lovely Bride enough!

I love this bridal salon and have been to another franchise location in Charleston, SC. But, only the Philadelphia location had the perfect dress for me! I am so happy with my experience I would highly recommend this salon to anyone!

o kept me majorly under my budget which was very much appreciated! I could not be happier with the final product! Thank you so much, Lovelies!

o give me as many options as possible. Turns out the first dress I tried on, part of the Theia trunk show, became the dress to beat. The whole staff was so pleasant and easygoing, and they didn't pressure me at all to make the purchase that day. It was a fun afternoon and I left feeling soooo good about myself:) I'll be returning with my family to pull the trigger on the dress of my dreams, can't wait!

ple.

roup. The store itself is quiet and calm, so I had no problem getting over my first appointment nerves. Ivy knew exactly how to keep the appointment moving in the right direction, and showed me a variety of dresses similar to the one I came in with in mind so I could see subtle variations and figure out what worked with my body. I had another appointment at a different salon scheduled that same day, but I had to cancel it because I found my dress at Lovely Bride. Ivy was also willing to work with me on extending the amount of time I had to pick up my dress, as I live about 12 hours away from Philadelphia. She told me that while they could ship the dress to me, she preferred having brides pick it up in store so they could ensure that everything was perfect. I am extremely happy with Ivy and Lovely Bride, and would recommend this salon to anyone looking for a slightly non-traditional, unique dress.

ot rave reviews and I felt amazing in it. The store and the girls working were well, lovely! I have already recommended to several friends!

or the dress and then used her knowledge and expertise to bring my vision to life. When I came back to the shop to pick up my dress, she remembered details about my life and my fiancé I had shared with her months before. It was obvious she loves her job and loves working with brides. She was incredibly thoughtful, kind, professional, and helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend Lovely to all brides! Thank you!

to work with! She made me feel comfortable and beautiful. Their selection of designers is great especially if you are going for something boho, gypsy or even Gatsby inspired. They have beautiful lace and beaded options. The price points were not so extreme either. Although I did go over budget, it was a gown and designer I've had my eye on for many months and it just so happens I came to the right place at the right time!

and all of the consultants greet you personally and listen to all of your wants and ideas! They pulled each dress and I loved each one. They seemed to pick up on what I wanted and what worked right away! I have never been one to write reviews but I needed to share how amazing we felt leaving this shop! We had just come from a prior appointment else where and this experience took away all frustrations and disappointment, leaving it completely worth it! So excited to work with them again for veil and accessories! Maya and the rest of the staff were great. A must stop shop for any PA Brides!

our time there fun and exciting!!! No other bridal salon in Philly held a candle to Lovely!!! The selection of dresses are gorgeous and the variety means there is something for every bride!! I would very highly recommend Lovely to any bride to be!!!!

ed twice was Lovely. Not only did they have a ton of backless dresses but they were extremely reasonably priced. I worked with both of the employees there and they were awesome, both with me and with my large crowd. I tried on a ton of gowns both times and they went above and beyond to make me happy and find me my dream dress within my budget. I seriously recommend this salon to ALL brides!
