Luxe Redux Bridal St. Louis

dress. One major change I made for this appointment is I only brought my mom instead of 5 additional people at my previous appointments. Lukas was the first stylist to ask about my venue and looked at my inspo board for the wedding and dresses. Before I tried on any dresses, he explained how the store works. He had experience in alternations and gave great advice for how and which dresses can be changed. When we found my dress, I wanted to add some pearls. He grabbed some pearl veils and laid it over the dress for the visual! I had such a great time and now so relieved to be done dress hunting. (Can’t attach the picture of my dress yet! But here are some beautiful dresses I tried on at Luxe)

so I wasn’t necessarily holding my breath. Well, I’m elated to say that I did, in fact, say “Yes!” to THE dress!! | Hailee was hands down the best stylist. She explained at the beginning of the appointment that she wouldn’t keep me in a dress I didn’t like, thus allowing time for me to try on and test quite a few dresses. There’s no limit of the number of dresses you can try, it’s really just what the appointment allows time for and how long you choose to spend in each dress. Hailee was great about quickly getting me out of a dress I didn’t like and she did not rush me out of dresses that I did like. It was very stress-free. | Hailee would have me share what I loved/liked about each dress, as well as what I didn’t like (this part was important). This allowed her to narrow down exactly what dresses would be worth it for me to try on, which I loved because I did not feel overwhelmed with a ton of options or decisions. Thanks to her expertise, after about 4-6 dresses, she walked in with what I almost immediately knew was THE dress. Once I tried it on, I loved EVERYTHING about it—all because she so carefully and thoughtfully curated the selections of dresses she’d bring in for me to try on. Hailee then picked the perfect selection of veils and accessories for me to try with the winning dress, and I ended up with the most beautiful veil that paired perfectly with the dress (as well as ideas for what jewelry I’d like to wear on the big day). | Luxe Redux is a boutique, so I was able to go home with the dress that same day! I was pleased to find that the “Yes” dress was actually a few hundred dollars below my budget. I greatly appreciated that Hailee did not bring in anything above the price range I gave her. I’ve heard that some shops will bring in a dress of a bride’s dreams, knowing it’s above her budget, just to get a good commission (which would definitely put the bride in a hard spot, finding that dream dress only to learn that it’s way out of budget—Hailee did not do that!). | After purchasing, I was given a complimentary coupon for two free glasses of bubbly at the City Winery, located right down the street, for saying “Yes!” (the bubbly was delicious). Once she heard that my guests and I were also looking for a good sushi spot to grab lunch, Hailee recommended Midtown Sushi, located right around the corner. I mean, after her help finding THE dress, of course we trusted her lunch recommendation—and it was indeed a great sushi spot. She was so personable, kind, and just an absolute joy to have as a stylist. | Because of Hailee, who also happens to be the store manager (and for good reason), I found the dress of my dreams! 🥹🤍 Such an overall wonderful experience at Luxe Redux STL! Thank you!
