The staff at My Darling Bridal were incredibly professional, kind, and hyped me up no matter how I looked. I ended up finding my dress here, but I felt no pressure along the way to buy from there. The quality of the dresses was spectacular and I loved my experience there. I highly recommend my darling bridal.
I got my wedding dress from My Darling Bridal and had a great experience while I was there. First, the store is beautiful, it has a lot of natural light which helps see how the dress looks easier, they carry such unique and beautiful gowns, I never felt rushed into buying anything and the consultants were very open in letting me try different styles since I wasn't sure what I wanted to wear.
They also recommended a tailor they work with if I needed for my alterations and I was AMAZED by the work she did (Mariya, Sewing Inc).
I also purchased my veil at MDB which was so so gorgeous. I said yes to the dress on my second time there and I recommend them 1000%.
Although I didn't end up buying my dress here, I did want to still leave a review because my experience here was amazing and so were the dresses! Julia was so sweet and did not make me feel pressured to buy anything that day- which is something I did experience a little bit at other wedding shops I went to. Towards the end of my appointment, she was double booked with another customer too, and she was still SO attentive to the both of us. I appreciated her demeaner overall and I am sad I didn't find the dress that was quite right for me and my budget, because I would've loved to get something for the sake of my amazing experience with Julia.
Such a gorgeous shop and wonderful shopping experience. I got my dress off a sample sale and it was such an awesome experience and I felt very individualized. All the ladies there helped me feel so beautiful in everything I tried on.
In December 2021 I started my hunt for the perfect dress and after going to some of the typical bridal salons in the cities, I found myself at My Darling Bridal as I'd seen a dress online that I was in love with and it was the only store in Minnesota that had it. It was a winter evening when my sister, mom and myself had the full store to ourselves as the fabulous staff helped us try on what seemed to be a million different dresses. They were totally accommodating to all the different styles I wanted to try and when I was underwhelmed with the dress I'd seen online, it was only 1-2 dresses later that I found THE one. I knew it instantly and it came out of left field thanks to the expertise of the staff. While I could tell the store hoped I purchased that evening and offered a same-day discount, they were totally understanding when I said I needed some time to think about it. About a week later, I came back to try it again and say the official "yes" - they had the dress ready in a dressing room for me to try on and still offered me the same-day discount which I really appreciated. The dress came within about 5 months and was beautiful! If I had any constructive feedback to share, it was that when I picked up my dress, there was an unwanted crease/minor snag in the fabric; the store assured me that it was just a crease that could be ironed out by any seamstress. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and it couldn't come out - it truly was so small and didn't bother me so it turned out OK, but I do wish I would have pushed a little more on that during the appointment. All-in-all, I'd totally recommend My Darling Bridal to anyone!! Especially those looking for a boutique experience at a great price.
Could not have been more of a DREAM. I found my absolute perfect dress there. the best selection of ballgowns you could ever want or need and I would have been so happy with any of them. The natural light was perfect. I worked with Lindsey and she was AMAZING. Was so knowledgeable, fun. Sweet and knew exactly what dresses to pull for me and how to easily and efficiently get me in and out of the GIANT dresses I was trying on. I’m going to look and feel like Cinderella on my special day because of my darling bridal. ❤️
I am so happy I went to My Darling Bridal for my dress! Even though COVID-19 delayed the shipment of my dress, they worked so hard to get it to me in time. I couldn’t have asked for a better customer service experience. And my dress, was absolutely perfect! Probably the most complimented thing in my wedding! Such an amazing business to support, I’m so glad I did!
I had no idea what to expect wedding dress shopping and My Darling Bridal was my first appointment. From the moment I walked in I was totally comfortable and felt welcomed by Olesya. She asks insightful questions and she has a great memory which comes in handy. She wasn’t pushy at all and her presence alone is light, calming and supportive. She truly helps you figure out what YOU want. Love her and My Darling Bridal!
First: My Darling Bridal was PERFECT. Absolutely perfect, warmly welcoming, and filled with an air of genuine excitement for me and my entire experience.
My sister and my mom came up to Minnesota just for the weekend to help me find a wedding dress. Since they are only here for 48 hours, I booked SIX wedding dress appointments at 6 different shops all over the cities for today. I knew it would be a lot, but I was determined to find the dress today.
The first 3 places I went to were at 9am, 12pm, and 2:00pm. Each place was lovely, with friendly, welcoming consultants, and I enjoyed my experience at each shop I had a favorite dress at each one. I decided to keep looking just because my mom and sister were only going to be here today, and it was the whole reason they came.
We were running behind after the 3rd appointment, so I called My Darling Bridal to let them know I was running behind and I needed to change my appointment from 3:30pm to 4:00pm. She said that was fine, but that they close at 5 so I would have just a little less time to try on dresses. I told her that was fine.
Traffic from the Wild hockey team made getting there take even longer, so I arrived at 4:08pm. They had a cute sign outside that said “Welcome to your appointment, Jessica,” and as soon I walked in, she offered me tea! It was so adorable!
I immediately knew I was going to love the consultant. (I wish I knew her name! My appointment email says “Lily” but I’m not 100% sure.) She listened intently, took notes, and then looked at a few of my photos. Unlike the other places, she brought me my dresses (instead of me choosing them), and I actually really, really loved that. She brought me dresses I would have never picked out myself, but that she knew I would like given all the things I told her about what I had and hadn’t been liking at previous stores.
I tried out 3 or 4 dresses, and before I knew it. It was 5:10pm. My sister told her, and she very genuinely just brushed it off: “Oh, I don’t mind staying… I’m having fun!” And honestly, I genuinely felt like she was having just as much fun as I was. I felt like she was part of my entourage, not just the consultant. She was SO fun and SO likeable and SO genuine with her shared smiles and joy and giggling with me.
I put on what I thought was going to be “just another dress,” and I walked out of the dressing room to show my sister and mom.
This dress was TOTALLY different than the exact same style I had been trying all day, and my sister burst into tears before I could even see myself in the mirror. It was perfect. Literally perfect.
I saw myself in the mirror and i started getting teary-eyed, too. It was stunning and it fit me PERFECTLY. I was so pleasantly surprised that she took all of her notes of what I did and didn’t like and found me a dress that was just slightly different than what I thought I wanted, but actually kept the things that were most important to me.
So, that was the dress - and I immediately knew it. Just to be sure, I tried on one more and then excitedly asked to try on my dress again. Then I really, really started crying. It was perfect, I said I wanted it, and we all hugged and took a million pictures and were so excited.
Ultimately, I loved my dress, and I loved my experience there almost as much as I loved the dress itself.
Thank you so much again!
Wonderful place to get your wedding dress. The place is so charming and the atmosphere is just perfect for dress shopping. They really listen to what you're looking for and are able to find the perfect piece to fit your style without the pressure of a sales pitch or awkwardly dressing in front of everyone like many other mainstream places. If you want a personalized, beautiful experience I highly recommend My Darling Bridal!
I had visited five other shops before this one. It was all very overwhelming and I thought about giving up and just picking a dress from one of the shops that I had already visited. Until I went to My Darling Bridal. I found ‘the one’ at My Darling Bridal. I love my wedding dress.
Every dress that I tried on at My Darling Bridal was beautiful. I could tell a difference between the dresses there and the dresses at other shops.
Additionally, my experience was amazing. I was helped by the owner of the shop. She is an amazing person. She was attentive. She made the experience relaxing and special. From the beginning I knew that there would be no pressure.
I 100% recommend this shop.
Really unsatisfied with my bridal shopping experience at My Darling Bridal. I was warmly greeted and offered tea, but when I told my consultant my budget, the mood/feel/shopping experience automatically shifted. Before I even booked my appointment, I called and told the owner I did not have a lot of money to spend on my wedding dress. I also asked, if this would be a waste of my time since I didn’t have a lot of money and I knew the dresses I could pick from would be limited. The owner responded and told me that that they would be willing to work within my budget and find dresses for me. However, when I arrived for my appointment my consultant was not aware of this, and told me they would not be able to help me. The way the consultant spoke to me was completely unprofessional. They made me feel guilty for being on a budget. In addition, I was NOT IMPRESSED with their selection of overpriced and minimal dress options. No matter your budget, every bride should feel special and unique. But I DID NOT at My Darling Bridal. Would NEVER recommend to anyone looking for a special, unique, friendly shopping experience. Incredibly disappointed.
My Darling Bridal is the bridal shop out of my dreams! Every little detail of this shop is perfect - from seeing my name written in chalk on her welcome sign, to the tea that my mom, best friend, and I were greeted with, to the absolutely gorgeous selection of wedding gowns that Olesya carries. The beautiful dresses at My Darling Bridal are truly some of the most elegant dresses that I have seen and I couldn't recommend finding your dream dress here more!
By far my favorite experience while planning my wedding has been going to Olesya's beautiful Bridal store. My mother, future mother-in-law and I had so much fun drinking tea and trying on dresses. I was so comfortable, relaxed and felt no pressure. Olesya asked good questions about the dresses and thought about ever detail to help me find my dress! This should be the first place you visit!
After trying on upwards of 15 dresses and visiting 5-6 stores, I really was tiring of the whole dress search. Visiting Olesya's shop was such a refreshing visit and honestly my best experience ever. Her warm welcome with tea and refreshments immediately puts you at ease. Her calm and kind demeanor helps you enjoy trying on her beautiful dresses and her advice is wonderful as well. I would definitely recommend visiting My Darling Bridal, you'll love your time there!
As soon as I walked through the door, I knew My Darling Bridal was the place for me. The boutique was incredibly designed and decorated, the dresses were indescribable, and Oleysa was absolutely amazing. She really knew what direction I was wanting to go (without me actually knowing) and she pushed me out of my comfort zone as well! I would highly recommend My Darling Bridal to any Bride!
This is honestly one of the most elegant selection of dresses I've seen. The entire store is beautiful, their selection of dresses, shoes, accessories has something for everyone! You truly cannot miss this store :) Awesome location too!
The cutest bridal boutique I’ve been in. Its warm and welcoming and definitely not what I’ve seen before at any other bridal stores. You need to come in and see for your self! :) there is a huge selection of gorgeous, delicate, and unique dresses. None of them are the same! I love telling everyone about My Darling Bridal now because my experience there was truly special, as yours will be!
This boutique is a gem! The owner has the most unique selection of gowns I've seen anywhere else. The owner has a great understanding of current style. You will feel so beautiful in every dress you try on!
Wonderful bridal boutique!
The experience here is very intimate and any need that brides have are provided for with creativity and professionalism.
Olesya will find you the perfect dress for your big day.
My Darling is such a beautiful intimate space owned by the sweetest person, Olesya! It is so easy to schedule an appointment only to help you find the perfect dress for your wedding day. There is a wide selection of dresses of all styles. I got to try on a majority of them and I loved every one of them! This is a must go-to for finding your dress and enjoy a fun experience with your bridal party or family.
I had the pleasure of working with the talented owner Olesya. I am so blessed and so happy that I was able to be apart of the grand opening. When I came in the store for my fitting, she was so professional and so helpful. One of the dresses just wouldn't fit me so we tried on a completely different dress and it was perfect! All of her dresses are so beautiful and if Olesya would've opened the store before I got married, I would've definitely purchased my dream wedding dress from her. There were PLENTY of dresses I would've bought. The decision would be hard to make. She has beautiful shoes and beautiful veils and accessories. Visit Olesya's new store, you won't regret it!!!!
