Lovely Bride Philadelphia

I had to try on once I found out it was at LB I knew where I would be heading. Once Covid came it was very tough to accept that not everyone I really wanted with me was able to come for safety reasons but once we arrived all of those feelings melted away as EVERYONE made the experience so memorable. My stylist Aniyah was one of the sweetest people I could have hoped to work with she had all of my wishlist dresses picked out and organized and she made sure to take advantage of every second we had together. I asked to FaceTime with some of my family that I had hoped to be there and everyone right away was so willing to help us get it set up and were patient as we dealt with any technical issues. Ivy was also amazing and so helpful, one of the best feelings I got from everyone was they truly wanted to make me as a bride feel CONFIDENT in my choice and they didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear they gave me professional advice and helped me see things maybe I wasn’t. The entire process was seamless and ANYONE who is thinking of going to them to get your dress I would say don’t look any farther! Thank you so much again to everyone who helped me I will forever be grateful!

ses there were. I am so grateful to have purchased my dress from Lovely Bride I'm in love with it! Give them a look!

esses. Some other bridal shops I went to were a bit pushy, but the staff at Lovely Bride were an absolute joy to work with, super knowledgable and helpful. I'm so happy to have found my dream dress with them. Would highly recommend!

s pulled for me. Stephanie said she would pull other dress for me after, but we didn't even need to! They followed COVID policies perfectly, so I never felt unsafe. We had to wash our hand immediately upon entering, could not bring in outside drinks, and all the staff kept their masks on. I was only allowed to bring 2 people with me, so my mom came with me but I was able to zoom with 2 others to still get their opinions. I was initially upset because I of the COVID restrictions (of course I wanted the typical bride squad dress party and champagne), but they still made the experience perfect, positive, and so much fun! I specifically booked an appointment at Lovely Bride for the Made With Love Trunk Show! I wanted to wait to try on dresses until the spring/summer, but Lovely Brides doesn't always have all of the MWL dresses in stock so the Trunk Show gave me more options! The first dress that I tired on was THE dress. I wanted a detachable skirt and after talking with Stephanie she picked out a perfect skirt to go with the dress. Stephanie made me feel comfortable the entire time (as I was very nervous and self-conscious). Since I have some time till my wedding, I decided to wait to make my final purchase because I want to come back a second time with my MOH and friend. I'm selfishly hoping that by the spring I might be able to try on the dress without a mask, but if not I would still love to try on the dress again to decide if I definitely want the skirt or go with a veil instead. My entire experience was so great and I would definitely recommend Lovely Bride to anyone! Especially if you want a "different" bridal dress look. I can't wait to go back!

your stylist, and then you can come in person. Stephanie came to my meeting SO prepared and was wonderful about helping guide me through the process, since I really had no idea what I wanted. She made everything feel manageable and really listened when I talked about features I did and did not want in my dress. The day of, everyone was so friendly and warm and made me and my best friend feel welcomed and special. Stephanie did a great job with the dresses themselves and tailoring which dresses she would bring in next based on what we thought of the previous dress. She also had an excellent balance of her own input which I really needed! She was so knowledgeable about each dress and how they could be altered/ ordered that I felt like I knew exactly what I would be getting. I ended up scheduling a second appointment so that my mom, FMIL, and best friend could see the dress before I officially said yes and they were great about letting them stand outside to see me in my wedding dress! I could not have asked for a better dress shopping experience and would recommend Lovely Bride to any bride!!

the PERFECT dress, AND the veil! She was positive, fast-acting, and helped me make decisions to eliminate dresses. I felt like Aniyah was my best buddy and my ally. Not once did she seem like a saleswoman. I loved my experience at Lovely Bride. The place is beautiful and they have a fabulous selection.

y ladies that work there are so great and made me feel special all over again! Their dress selection was one of a kind, and I found a dress that I could never have found elsewhere. It was unique to Lovely Bride and I feel great knowing not that many brides out there will have worn the same dress as me!

dress here (it was an easy decision!) The biggest reason for leaving a review was how unbelievably helpful my stylist, Stephanie, was. She was so tentative and patient, and she really had such a great feel for what my style is. I was so nervous about choosing a dress, but the true reason I ended up with my perfect dress was because of Stephanie!!

nd she brought on off the list for me to try which ended up being the dress I purchased! They make it fun and easy and have a great selection.

that process. They have a huge selection of dresses for a wide price range and style range.

was able to really describe the dresses, their fabric, train length, how they would bustle, and how they compared to one another in a way that gave me a great sense of what I would be trying on. A virtual appointment didn’t sound too thrilling to me and it truly was quite a lot of fun. Of course in store was even better! When I was between two different style dresses, Sarah asked great questions that helped me think about what I really wanted my dress to be like on my special day. She also was great about pinning me in and out of dresses (multiple times) to help me find the right one! I tried on at a couple of other places and Lovely was by far the best experience! Thank you Sarah!!

wedding dress designs. The Stylist, I was Assigned was the stunning Aniyah (even with mask). She was a amazing human and such a gem! She listened well, paid attention to my vision, made you feel very comfortable... and helped me find my dream dress! The whole vibe of lovely bride was cozy and inviting all the coworkers made you feel special.

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!
