I worked with Ivy, who was amazing! The entire experience was seamless and so fun. I loved that I got to pick out my 'wishlist' of dresses beforehand so we could immediately start the appointment with dresses I liked. Ivy worked quickly and was...
so helpful with picking accessories as well! She was not pushy or put any expectations or pressure on me to buy, but I found my dress and bought that day! She answered all my questions and was so kind. The space as well was incredibly clean and beautiful. Overall, I highly recommend Lovely Bride Philly, I could not have asked for a better day of wedding dress shopping!

I thought my 2pm appointment was 230pm. I was late and hold myself accountable for the honest mistake. However, I spoke with an associate (Ivy?) and asked if it were helpful if I gave them the gowns I was wanting to see/try on (9 total), but wa...
s told in a relatively snide tone that “realistically there’s no way you’re trying on all of those gowns in 30 minutes”. Not only did I see and try on every gown that I wanted to, but I also thought I found “the one”. I’m writing this review because these locations are privately owned and unfortunately, the attitude and unprofessional demeanor from the associate on the phone regarding my honest mistake with the appointment time made my decision to not return and finalize a dress from another location very easy. I was not asking for additional time, but a pleasant experience with the time I had. Also, I did not see anyone else arrive while we were leaving as I was mindful to not be holding up another bride to be. Cara, our bridal stylist, was incredibly helpful, professional, and quick. Thank you, Cara!!

ing influencers a magical wedding shopping experience at the expense of paying customers. The pandemic doesn't seem to apply if you have thousands of followers and lovelybride Philly will make sure they blast this all over their social media channels so every paying customer has to see exactly what LovelyBride is capable of giving them, had they too just had a bit more social media clout. As a 'normal' customer you will have to preselect your gowns & try them on in a small dressing room that you can't leave. You are not allowed to peruse the show room, there will be no walking and twirling as you may have seen others do on their pages... apparently Covid disappears when you receive a blue check next to your name. My stylist was kind and helpful but had my dress not been exclusive to the shop I would have went elsewhere to actually have a masked, safe wedding buying experience. Wedding planning/postponing/pivoting in a pandemic definitely is not easy but there are plenty of places and vendors finding new ways to give their couples special experiences in safe ways. I recommend you spend your money at one of those places that values you as a customer and doesn't determine what kind of shopping experience you get based upon your number of Instagram followers.

Hi Ashley Thank you for sharing your concerns. As I mentioned to you in our DM's, we do create content for our social media channels so that Our Lovelies can see the gowns in our shop. We do this work with models on days the shop is closed so ...

he salon and interactions with staff during the appointment. I am unsure of how things operated prior to COVID, but I felt pretty cramped and restricted in their "dressing room" and wished that there was a separate, well lit area where I could have gotten a better feel for the dress I was trying on. My stylist also engaged in little to no conversation throughout the entire appointment, which made it bit awkward (I understand that they see many many brides per day, but it just took away from the experience). Personally, I felt it to be more of a transactional experience rather than one that was intimate and special.
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2021

aying "Yes!" to my perfect dress, everything was done with so much care and attention. My stylist Lizzy reached out a few days prior to my appointment to ask about budget and ensure the dresses I requested to try on were within the range I was comfortable with. When I arrived at the (gorgeous!) boutique, my dresses were pre-pulled and ready for me to try on. Lizzy was so great at figuring out what I liked and making suggestions for other dresses to try on that might fit what I was looking for. The entire staff handled COVID procedures really well-- and even though I was only able to bring one guest, we really easily added my MOH virtually which was super special. I highly recommend Lovely Bride no matter what style you're looking for!

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!

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

I had the most wonderful experience finding my wedding dress at Lovely this past January. And I was so thrilled to come back again recently to pick up my dress! I would particularly like to thank my consultant Amber. She listened to my hopes f...
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!

From the moment I walked in, I knew I would find my gown here and it just so happens I did! I couldn't be happier. They had just what I was looking for in terms of style. Mia who was fitting me, knew exactly what I was going for and was a blast...
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!

Such an amazing experience! So happy I purchased my dress here yesterday! My three friends can not stop raving about the experience from the perspective as well. From the moment you walk in you know you're in great hands! The store is beautiful...
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!

I LOVE this place! I am an incredibly indecisive person and I had a very specific style of dress in mind for my wedding; completely backless. I went to about 8 different bridal salons (see, indecisive and particular!) but the only salon I visit...
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!
