Everyone made me and my family feel so very welcome and comfortable!!! I loved working with Katie to find my absolute dream dress!!!
I bought my wedding Dress at Norman's Bridal, and loved the experience. The vibe felt classic to down-town, the employees were always kind, and the dress selection was great. I worked with Josie, who helped me narrow down my choices and gave great advice as it pertains to picking out a dress. The experience was comfortable, affordable, and overall excellent!
From the minute I walked in they made me feel special and welcomed. The woman (Mrs Brenda) who helped me try on dresses was very knowledgeable about dresses and alterations. It was such a great experience!
The lady helping me picked out a dress that she thought I might like after I already picked a few to try on, and it happened to be the one. They were super helpful and joyful through the whole process!
I love Norman’s. I found my dress they pressed it and anytime I needed alterations it was an easy try out and check out for the big day!
I didn't get my wedding dress from Norman's, but I did get my bridesmaids dresses here. Way better customer service than what I had experienced at David's Bridal. Plus, Norman's had way more style variety. They even gave me a piece of the fabric so that I can match my colors!
I walked in not having any idea what I wanted and the staff and Norman’s helped me find the perfect dress! They figured out what I did and didn’t like so easily and made the experience so fun. Definitely recommend!
Kyla let me pick out some dresses I liked and then once she got a feel for my style she asked me to try on a dress and I did, and that’s the one I chose! I love it!
Katie Jankovitz help me find the perfect dress and was absolutely amazing! She was extremely kind and energetic .She helped me find something in my price range that I loved. I would definitely recommend Norman's Bridal to anybody. And I would also recommend Katie as a bridal stylist
Normans helped me find my PERFECT dress. They (Katie my consultant) listened to what I wanted and within 6 dresses I had found my dress!
I also purchased the package where they kept my dress and my bridesmaids dresses at the shop and then pressed them the day before my wedding. I highly recommend that package and Norman’s!
I’ve bought many dresses from Norman’s throughout my pageant career and for prom in high school. I knew I wanted to buy my wedding gown here one day especially when I got to be on the other side as an employee here 7 years ago and I’m so glad I came back for it. Patty was my stylist and she did a wonderful job listening to what I wanted and making sure the group with me didn’t outshine that. It was such a fun moment getting to be surrounded by friends, family, and even my former coworkers who were just as happy for me. Norman’s is like a family and you won’t be disappointed finding your gown here!
I had a great experience picking out my wedding dress at Norman’s! My stylist, Patty, was so easy to work with and she was very professional and knowledgeable. I picked the first dress I tried on, and I couldn’t be more excited to wear it on my wedding day!
I had the best experience wedding dress shopping today! Patty Smulski was so great to work with! She knew just the dresses to pick out! I found the perfect dress! Thank you Norman’s Bridal!
Hands down an amazing experience! My stylist, Patty, was so professional. She knew EXACTLY what dresses fit my style and body-type. I picked the first dress I tried on. A recommendation from Patty herself! You can’t go wrong with this beautiful, classy studio. It was a comfortable and relaxing visit.
My experience of finding my wedding dress at Norman's Bridal was so fun and exciting. Kyla, my stylist, was so helpful and seemed to know exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend Norman's Bridal to any and every bride!
This Vendor was absolutely amazing! I was so nervous about finding the perfect dress for my big day. They had the most beautiful selection and Katie was wonderful and did an awesome job helping me put together and select the dress that was perfect for me! I would use Normans Bridal over and over again!
The consultant at Normans was amazing and so helpful finding THE dress! The selection of gowns was great and they had a wide range of dress sizes available. Definitely a 10/10 experience and I’m so grateful!
I went bridal shopping on January 10th. I wanted it to be a one a done shopping ordeal. I went in with the dress I thought that I wanted in mind. However Kyla who was amazing pulled a different dress as well. I tried on a total of three dresses but knew the second one I tried on that Kyla pulled was the one! She made the process so easy and so nice and honest! I highly recommend Norman's and if I could give them an A++ I would! Thank you Kyla for the amazing experience!
10/10 definitely would recommend Norman's Bridal to any bride looking for their dress or bridesmaids dresses. Katie, my stylist, was super kind and helpful. She helped me find my perfect dress in under an hour and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable.
I want to start this review by saying, Please visit Normans for your dress!! I went on whim since my mother bought her own wedding dress from Normans in 2014. Within minutes Patty was already walking me through the dresses and we had an armful. And of all the dresses I fell in love with the very first one Patty had chosen. She was attentive, funny, and very helpful. I can't sing enough praises for this shop and Patty!
I have been to 8 shops, tried on well over 50 dresses and I can hands down say the BEST experience I had was at Norman's. Emily was ah-ma-zing! I also felt kinda pushed around and not really listened to at other shops but I had a wonderful experience here. I went back to try on my dress one more time before purchasing and even though Emily was not available she popped in just to tell me how beautiful the dress was on me and asked if I still loved it. ladies don't walk run to normans and check out their selection! you'll have a great experience with wonderful staff!
We drove from St. Louis for the sale!! Katie was AMAZING and made it so easy!! I pretty much gave her free reign and she blew me away!! So excited to wear my dress! ☺️
Norman's was the first and only Bridal shop I ended up going to because I found the perfect dress in that one stop! The stylist I worked with listened to and considered every single thing I was looking for in a dress and only showed me dresses within my budget which was very important to me. She had me try on a variety of styles and ultimately delivered the absolute perfect option. We had her full attention during our appointment, check out was fast after picking out the dress, and everyone we interacted with was super friendly. Highly recommend Norman's!
Normans Bridal was amazing! I walked and and every moment I was in there I felt like a Princess. They listened to what dress I had dreamed about and brought out the perfect one! It was such an easy process and I got the dress of my dreams!
Patty was my stylist and she was very helpful. She only pulled dresses in my price range and ones that were in my size. She quickly was able to find dresses I really liked even though I came in not totally sure what I wanted exactly. Patty helped me find the perfect dress! She put me in multiple different veils and helped me find one that went along and put it aside for me. The dress itself makes me feel very glamorous and beautiful and it fit like a glove and I’ll need minimal alterations. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend Normans and seeing Patty as a stylist!
Katie Jankovitz was my “bridal gown angel”.
Her patience and assistance through the whole process was remarkable! I first came alone, and needless to say, she had to work even harder. I was exhausted “for” her😀
A huge thank you to Katie!!!
I had an amazing experience at Normans Bridal!! I went dress shopping at a ton of places in Dallas, TX (where I’m from) and couldn’t find anything until I scheduled an appointment at Norman’s on a whim while I was visiting my fiancé - Patty was so sweet and totally got my style - the dress I ended up buying was one she had mentioned from the beginning that she thought I’d love, and she was so right! She was great at backing me up (my mom def preferred a bigger skirt) and helping me decide on the dress without being pushy or aggressive. They have a huge dress selection and everyone was so sweet - totally recommend!!
So many decisions to make...but Patricia helped my granddaughter find the perfect wedding dress and check a BIG item off the wedding planning list. Patricia listened to what she wanted, added her expertise, and together they found THE DRESS. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I had such an incredible experience. My stylist, Patty Smulski, knew my exact style I needed without even having to tell her. It was the first bridal shop I had been to and my dream dress was the third one I tried on! I never thought I would be so thrilled about finding a dress especially since I am very very picky. My whole group and I were teary eyed. Couldn't be more thankful for how wonderful and helpful the service was.
Loved the environment and friendly staff! Patty picked out the perfect dress for me on the very first try! She was super helpful and polite, definitely listened to everything I wanted in a dress and made my experience everything I it should be !! 10/10 would recommend for all of your wedding needs
Very helpful and professional and made the experience so relaxing and fun.
Had the best experience!! Found the perfect dress!! I'm so excited to wear it!! 🥰🥰 Katie was awesome!! Thank you for making me feel beautiful!! I am a very self conscious person and she was so sweet and made me feel at ease!! Essence of Australia has the most beautiful dresses! Sparkle for days!!
I was really glad I chose this store all the dresses were gorgeous and reasonably priced. Katie was so helpful and picked the perfect dresses. I ended up finding a ceremony and reception gown!
I arrived hoping for the best since I had went to two other stores and didn’t find anything that felt like me. I told Katie things I didn’t like and what I did. She came back with a handful of dresses and when I tried on the first one I seriously thought I was going to leave with it because it was gorgeous! But I tried on a few more just in case. I liked another dress but really wished I could combine the elements of the first one with some that I liked from the one I had just tried on. Katie made it happen and we found the absolute perfect dress for my wedding day. I felt like a princess, like I was a little girl playing dress up again!! She is truly awesome as well as the rest of the staff.
Being plus size, I expected it to take forever for me to find a dress I love and feel confident in. I went to Norman’s first, after hearing good things, but only expecting to look and not to find anything. That all changed thanks to Katie Jankovitz. She was sweet and kind. She listened to my very vague descriptions of what I was thinking and my price range and found me the literal dress of my dreams. I fully recommend Norman’s Bridal and you should ask for Katie, who is just the most patient human.
My experience with Norman's was fantastic! I scheduled an appointment mostly on a whim, as there was a sale happening and I had not yet found a dress after several appointments at other shops. But Norman's helped me find "the one." I enjoyed the entire experience - from the individual dressing rooms and the platforms to the consultants I worked with. The shop owner actually picked out what ended up being my perfect dress! One I never would have picked for myself, but it was perfect. Highly recommend Norman's to all future brides!
Normans was the third bridal boutique I visited. The staff was professional, patient, and extremely helpful. I was hesitate at first to even visit Normans as I thought the prices would be too high. However, they did have a few dresses in my price range. And I found the perfect one!
I went in to look for a dress super nervous and with no clear vision of what I wanted. All the staff were extremely kind and attentive. The entire atmosphere was amazing and definitely made for a beautiful, cherished memory. Liz helped me and let me tell you, I couldn’t be more thrilled with her! She’s seriously amazing!!! She was able to sort through the little things I liked or didn’t like to find me the perfect dress plus earrings PLUS we got to look for dresses for my bridal party. Finding THE dress was so much easier than I ever expected thanks for Liz and the staff of Norman’s! I’m so grateful I chose them!
I visited two other Bridal Boutiques before finding my dress at Normans. Patty was quick to pull exactly what style I was wanting, but very tentative to my body language the entire time. She quickly could tell there was something about the dresses I was pulling that I, myself, wasn't liking. She helped me step outside of my comfort zone and ultimately found the dress of my dreams. Thank you to Patty, and to the owner who were so helpful and patient in finding my dress.
Everyone at Norman's was so professional and kind. I was in and out with a wedding dress in less than 2 hours! My stylist Patty was so helpful and knew what style I was looking for immediately. Thank you!!
Normans bridal did an amazing job with helping me find my dress. Katie really listened to everything I liked and didn't like about each dress I tried on. She was able to find me the perfect dress that was a combination of everything I liked.
I went to several different bridal shops and Norman’s was by far the most professional. Everyone not only dressed nice but looked nice. I was raked in a large fitting room which was a nice change from the cramped fitting rooms I’ve been pushed into before. There was a large mirror and plenty of space. My stylist Katie Barr was amazing. She was so kind and professional and really took into consideration my wants. We have her a budget and she stayed under it! I know a lot of places will either try to meet your budget or go a little over but all of the dress that were brought out to me were under budget and varied in price which was amazing! She was also great at clipping back dresses and helping getting them to fit. A lot of other shops either made my mom do it or weren’t good at actually pinning the dress. She was amazing at clipping it on all of the right places. You could also take as many pictures as you wanted in the dress which some shops don’t allow!
My bridal appointment at Normans went so well! Liz was amazing! Not only did she enthusiastically greet me and my guests, but she knew the style and budget I was interested in from my pre-appointment information. She pulled dresses within my budget and listened to opinions on the dresses to pinpoint the style that I really wanted. I ended up getting my wedding dress that day, and it was an awesome experience. Every staff member was so sweet and welcoming, we felt well supported. Thank you all!
Katie was awesome. She made me feel comfortable and listened to all of my requests. I started out not knowing exactly what I wanted and we worked together and I found the perfect dress at Normans. Thank you so much!
I went to their Annual Dash for the Dress sale and WOW the service I received was incredible. I found my dream dress within 30 minutes and was checked out and on my way so quickly with the help of all of the staff there! I loved loved loved my experience here!!
Kyla helped me find the dress of my dreams and it was so easy! She worked her magic and found me the one that made my cry. I would highly recommend going to Norman’s for your dress and work with Miss Kyla!!
My experience finding my dream dress was PERFECT. Tara Routh has been there for a long time and she definitely knows what she’s doing! I’m so thankful for her getting styles I thought I would like for me to try on and getting me to go out of my comfort zone! The dress I bought was nothing like I thought was my “style” but it’s beautiful and I can’t express enough how perfect my day at Norman’s was!
I was lucky enough to have Kaitlyn Brown as my Bridal Stylist and I couldn’t have asked for a better one! She listened to my likes and dislikes and helped me find my perfect dress, that just happened to be the first one I tried on. I couldn’t be more pleased with my consultation and loved my experience!
Patty @ Norman’s Bridal was THE BEST consultant ever!!!! She knew exactly what I wanted before I had any clue! She was so kind, so helpful, and reassured me every step of the way! She helped me find my dream dress and I only tried on 6!!!!! Patty is amazing! Everyone at Norman’s was amazing! I highly recommend Norman’s for your wedding and bridesmaid dresses!
After going to several different bridal stores Norman’s fit me in last minute. After describing my desired look and budget Katie pulled several options. She was extremely patient and helpful. After hearing me describe what each dress was missing she went a pulled an option that had everything. She made sure to tell me it’s exact price and that they could get it in by my wedding before showing it to me. I fell in love with it. Katie was so kind and helpful and I wouldn’t have found my dream dress without her!
