We had a great experience picking out the dress but from there it went south fast. We decided to purchase a dress so with one of the assistants they took all the necessary measure...
ments and ordered the dress. Several months after selecting and paying for our dress it finally came in. Super excited we went for a fitting and found the dress to fit like a glove everywhere but the bust. Not by a little but by and amount the ruined the dress completely and would have made it the most uncomfortable day ever trying not to have a breast completely fall out. It was so distasteful for what should have been a very happy day. The girl helping said nothing even though my daughter was near tears. I went back later and purchased some fabric to completely remake the top of the dress and speak to the manager. No help at all - just here's your dress have a nice day. She insisted my daughter wanted a size 4 no matter what - how does that even make sense. She has had many elegant dresses that have needed to be taken in and she understands that process very well - she also understands you can't just let it out if its too small. One of the things she liked most about the original dress was the coverage - but as with most dresses that a size 4 girl tries on they had the back pinched together to fit and the top had more material. The job of the shop is to get you the best fit - if your bride is saying she likes the coverage you let her know her measurements area a size 4 but you are ordering a larger size so she will have the coverage she loves in that dress. Thankfully we have an excellent tailor and she completely remade the top of the dress. This sale could have been salvaged with a good review but just really poor customer service, communication and accountability. I would love to post pictures but my daughter would be very upset to have pictures like that posted.

n was sparkling, clean and really set the tone for looking for a wedding dress. They set up the studio so that way it would be perfect for getting to see the dress from forwards backwards and as you walk down the aisle. The quality of the dresses were really well-made. The dress I selected as my bridal gown, had me telling our attendant that it basically felt like coming home. The dress was absolutely stunning, but also very comfortable. I would 100% recommend this bridal salon!

I loved this place so much, thank you Our Shop for the perfect experience!

hich is very much appreciated. I really appreciated the Bible verses and Christian music. Felt like a comfortable , clean and classy establishment. We started the day with my mom and grandma getting beautiful dresses. I then said yes to the dress! Katie was a great consultant. She was very helpful and considerate. We appreciated her getting us waters and making sure we were comfortable. We all appreciated and enjoyed her personality and conversation. She was helpful but not overbearing. I would recommend. I wanted a new different experience than other family members and friends had going to the same popular bridal shop. I’m glad I had my own special day with my favorite people and said yes to a beautiful dress. I was able to get the dress off the rack . September will be a beautiful time to be a princess and wear the dress.

Our Shop Bridal was an amazing experience! The moment you enter the store you are greeted at the door by a sign with the names of all brides with appointments and your consultant. ...
Jenna took the time to listen to our wedding details and what I envisioned wearing. She not only listened to what I said but also honed into the details to pull dresses she thought I'd like. With each dress she identified aspects of customizations to meet my vision. I immediately scheduled an additional appointment to continue the search a few weeks later! During that time, Jenna went above and beyond to locate my top choice in a different color for my next appointment. My second appointment was just as amazing as the first and I said yes to the dress! I would 100% recommend Jenna!

laying softly in the background and a beautiful Bible verse displayed on the wall. It instantly set the tone and made me feel at peace—something I had not experienced at any other bridal shop.
The true highlight of my experience was Isabelle, the incredible consultant who helped me find my dream wedding dress. Isabelle is truly extraordinary—young, vibrant, and so talented at what she does. She listened carefully to my vision and brought it to life in a way I did not think was possible. She made the entire process feel effortless and fun, and her genuine care and excitement made me feel so special.
Thanks to Isabelle and the team at Our Shop Bridal, I found a dress that I cannot wait to wear on my wedding day. If you are looking for a bridal shop where you will feel valued, supported, and inspired, this is the place. Highly recommend!

al, which I appreciated knowing since none of the dresses I tried on were in a plastic bag. I had Maddie as a stylist, and I truly appreciated her guidance throughout the entire appointment! She could tell that I was feeling overwhelmed at times throughout the appointment and was constantly reminding me that "the dress doesn't have feelings" (which somehow I needed that reminder often lol). I couldn't have had a better experience with Maddie as my stylist. The unforgettable experience at the end of the appointment was "walking down the aisle" with a bouquet of flowers and a veil, which is where I started crying and truly knew the dress was for me. 10/10 experience and will continue to recommend it to my friends and other future brides!

et and just listened to all of my wants and concerns. Explained everything in great details for me to understand how dress shopping even works! They have a LOVELY dress selection, a little bit of everything which i loved because I could narrow down what I loved and wanted in one shop! God so very clearly has his hands on this shop. The worship music playing and the scripture on the walls confirmed to me that my dress was here! Brittany read me so well with the dresses she suggested to me, and in fact the dress i chose was a dress I told her I didn't even want to try!!! Her and my sister insisted i try it and lo and behold, it was an absolute dream. I can't thank Our Shop Bridal for every ounce of care and concern and help that they put into our big day and something that I will remember and treasure forever. The owner prayed over my sister and I before we left and it meant the world to me. Finding this bridal shop was such a blessing. To anyone whose got a heart for the Lord Almighty Jesus and wants to support a Christian business, come find a dress here!! You will not be disappointed.

This was my very first bridal appointment, ever. I had some themes and ideas but went in pretty open. Grace, my consultant, met us at the door and led us to the seating area. She o...
ffered our group water and then took me to pick dresses. She explained the sizing, the tags, and the styles as we went. She was able to take the elements I liked in one dress but wanted some element of another dress and worked to find dresses that captured that. As a midsize bride, there was no shortage of options!!!! While the salon was busy on a Saturday, our appointment still felt “just us”. I tried on a variety of silhouettes before deciding the mermaid style was for me. Grace helped me get each dress on and off, and even had a little face covering to prevent make up transfer to the gowns (their samples are GORGEOUS. No rips, tears, or foundation smears or bronzer burns. Great condition!) she always asked if I was ready before coming in. She made me feel wonderfully comfortable in my body and the dresses.
When I put on a Maggie Sottero style, I had The Moment. Tears in the fitting room, tears in front of my people. She grabbed a veil with complimentary lace. This was my dress!
We had another salon to go to, I asked if I could come back. I went back to Our Shop about 45 minutes later: I couldn’t get that dress out of my head! Grace had the dress and the veil already pulled so I could try it one more time. Delighted, giddy, and excited, I exhaled on the pedestal and said “this is my dress!!” Truly stellar experience, start to finish. This is what bridal salons should aspire to do and be!
One last note, the style name of the dress I said yes to? Grace.
