Great salon!
Poised Bridal was one of the first stores I shopped in while looking for a wedding gown, and it really set the tone for what a gown shopping experience should be. They immediately understood my style and what would best flatter my body, and pretty much every single gown I tried on could've worked. We couldn't believe how great the selection was! Even Nancy herself came in and introduced herself and was lovely to us. I didn't feel comfortable buying a dress on my first day shopping, but as I visited a few other stores, my shopping experience was just not even close to comparable to my one at Poised Bridal.
I returned back and Nancy, and the entire staff made me feel so confident and beautiful, and so special. When my mom, sister, and I all started crying, Nancy began to cry too! This just shows how invested she is in her clients. They were extremely helpful when showing my sister how to bustle the dress. I just had my wedding on Saturday and got so many compliments about how unique the gown was. Nancy has fantastic taste, the collections she curates are really outstanding, and she often discovers new talents. If you are looking for a wonderful shopping experience, helpful, kind, and honest consultants, and a selection of gowns that are truly special and different, then Poised Bridal is the place for you!
Poised Bridal was absolutely amazing!! So helpful/kind/attentive- they pulled dresses I never imagined I would love. They squeezed me in last minute so my mom from out of town could attend. I was nervous about the whole wedding dress process but they made it a complete breeze. Highly highly recommend this boutique vs other boutiques in McAllen.
Poised was my third appointment of the day and it was such a great experience! First, we got to the store 30 minutes early (since we came from another appointment) and they were able to get us in early so didn't have to wait. When I arrived, I showed them the top dress contenders from my previous appointment. She did a really good job of pulling different dresses to try to top those and pulling new options based on what I liked and didn't like about certain dresses. They were very patient when we had a hard time narrowing down the options. Additionally they did a wonderful job of making us feel safe during covid times. They have a limited number of appointments at any given time. It's also worth mentioning that they have a decent selection of dresses, and the best looking ones, gowns that I did not see anywhere else. My bridesmaids also found their dresses at Poised!
Poised Bridal went above and beyond for me! Prior to my appointment they hunted down the dress of my dreams! This was not the first stop on my dress shopping endeavor, and luckily I found my dream dress at Poised! They made the experience amazing, and all of the employees there are awesome!! Would recommend Poised Bridal time and time again!!
Poised Bridal was not the first dress shop I went to, but once I walked inside I knew my dress was somewhere in there. The entire staff is super helpful; they helped me find the most perfect dress! They were the absolute sweetest and truly took the time to get to know me. I’m very picky and didn’t want the traditional white dress, so they were great and picking out dresses that came in other colors. They were patient with me and when I thought I had the perfect one, helped dress me up to see the dresses full potential. I would highly recommend Poised Bridal to any bride!
Great service!
I had the best experience at Poised Bridal! To be honest, I wasn't really looking forward to the whole 'trying on bridal dresses' thing, as I worried that I wasn't going to find anything that would fit just right or that I would love, but I was wrong. The ladies at Poised Bridal made the entire experience from start to finish wonderful for me and my loved ones. They had so many beautiful options and made me extremely comfortable. Nancy, Diana, and Britt were all fantastic - kind, fun, and knowledgeable, offering such helpful insight, without making me feel pressured. I was able to walk away with my dream dress! I highly recommend this boutique!
If I could give a million stars, I would, because that is exactly how they made us feel!
Where do I start! Poised Bridal is superb; they made my entire family feel like a million bucks! My sister chose an amazing gown, and we are excited she finally found her dress, but the way they treated us, and made this whole experience unforgettable!
Our experience at Poised Bridal was beyond our expectations - the service, the quality and OMG their variety of dresses is like nothing we saw anywhere. We literally went to every salon in McAllen, and Poised had by far the best gowns! My sister was very indecisive, she had a favorite dress at every boutique we went to, but Poised by far exceeded all, and she said YES to a fantastic dress. Britt was great, but Nancy saved the day, bringing options at the end that convinced my sister, we are super excited that she is a Poised Bride and we recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding dress.
Had the best experience at Poised! All the staff is helpful and honest! Such a fairytale!
I went to a handful of other bridal shops and the quality was INCOMPARABLE to what I found at Poised. Diana and the owner were fantastic; they first asked what styles I liked and my price range. Both were very respectful of both. Upon visiting the other bridal shops I had a few dresses on "hold". I liked them but something was telling me to not pull the trigger on them. After I tried on my array of dresses at Poised, I had 3 I couldn't decide between and all 3 were better than anything I had seen elsewhere. They were great providing updates during my dressmaking process as we are in the midst of COVID-19. They have a close relationship with the rep at the designer I chose. She sent them photos of me in the dress and explained the little tweaks I hoped to make. Because of her communication and genuine relationship, the designer was able to make a few alterations in house during the initial dress making process. I am so grateful for this store and the ladies who helped! I am able to sit back and focus on other pieces of the wedding because I know Poised is taking care of my dress!
I said yes to the dress at Poised Bridal – The whole crew was wonderful, they knew exactly what I wanted and went out their way to make me and my family comfortable and satisfied. Poised bridal never let me down each time I came in. Their customer service is astonishing. A true gem in the entire RGV!
Poised Bridal is an amazing place to find your wedding dress. The boutique is beautiful and everyone is so nice. They helped me to find my dress, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Diana and Nancy were so sweet and patient throughout the whole process, even though I was extremely indecisive. They really listened to what I wanted and they were really honest when giving their opinion. I was so lucky to work with Poised Bridal and couldn't be happier with the dress that we decided on!
The BEST dress selection of gowns everywhere is south TX - Truly a MAGICAL top notch salon! The whole experience is extremely personalized. The dresses are stunning with a large variety. They work as a team to make sure you look your best and are you’re happiest on your big day. They are professional, and incredibly patient with all of my requests and talked everything through with me so she understood what I liked and made stellar recommendations. Highly recommend!
I went to several shops (across the RGV and SA area) to find my dress and I cannot recommend Poised Bridal enough - especially NANCY The owner! I'm so grateful for her attentiveness, honesty, and eye for what truly looked best on ME. The shop has some truly unique dresses I hadn't seen at any of the other shops I went to. I kept having the same dresses shown to me at all of the stores, which was very frustrating; I just wanted something that felt truly unique and special. At Poised Bridal I found the PERFECT dress. Poised Bridal is beautiful, clean, they treat you like Family, and because of the way it is set up, feels very intimate, even though there were other brides in other parts of the store.
Wedding dress shopping, especially for a curvy girl like me, can be a daunting task. However, at Poised Bridal, the whole experience was a complete dream! I was determined to have a gown that was "go big or go home" because why not? I also didn't want a white dress. My consultant, completely understood my vision and brought me so many dresses that ticked all of my boxes. She was patient, fun and made the whole experience wonderful. Okay, honestly the whole staff at Poised Bridal is beyond amazing. They remember your name when you walk in for a fitting. They follow up with you so know exactly what's going on. I even accidentally left a necklace in the dressing room and they kept it in a safe for me overnight till I could pick up the next day. They are absolutely customer service oriented! Then there's alterations. I have heard horror stories about in-house alterations at other bridal salons (and witnessed them first hand) but not here. My dress was not easy to alter and my tailor did it with such precision and skill. I was completely in awe of her talent. It was nothing short of craftsmanship! I promise you will have your perfect bridal experience from start to finish with Poised Bridal. I cannot thank them enough for making my wedding gown dreams come true
El SI mas facil durante el planeamiento de boda de mi hija menor! Solo puedo decir buenas cosas de esta boutique, especialmente porque el tratamiento que nos dieron fue estelar! Mis otras hijas compraron su vestido en Sposa mia, y mientras encontraron su vestido, no sentimos que la experencia pudiera ser mas que encontrar el vestido de tus sueños, PERO Poised Bridal nos enseno que no solo puedes encontrar el vestido de tus sueños, pero la experencia fue fenomenal!!!!! AL principio no creí que hubiera necesidad de buscar en ningún otro lado, pero mi hija insistió porque su amiga compro su vestido en Poised, y WOW la selección de vestidos es muy buena, mi hija tuvo una difícil decisión porque le gustaron TRES. Si pudiera les diera MAS estrellas porque esta boutique nos dio un tratamiento y una experencia super, toda la familia lo disfruto y asta los que no pudieron asistir, ya que hicimos una llamada de video.
De verdad LA MEJOR BOUTIQUE del valle!
I said YES to the dress at Poised Bridal!! I had such an AMAZING experience. It was my third (and final) bridal shop I went to. All of the dresses were stunning, a step above the rest! There was just no comparison. I tried on so many dresses because they were all so beautiful! Diana was a perfect bridal attendant - she was helpful, encouraging, and patient. I felt very comfortable, as well as my mother and my grandmother. I'm beyond happy with my appointment and I wish I could do it all over again! Thank you Poised Bridal
Exceptional customer experience and the largest selection in the McAllen/RGV area!! If you are looking for a dress, I highly recommend Poised Bridal! They were incredibly accommodating, patient, and personable - plus you can tell they truly enjoy what they do and will do everything to ensure you have the best experience possible. BEST of all, Poised now carry bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and even flower girl’s dresses. My mom found her dream dress here too!
Poised Bridal was my third bridal store stop and I am sure glad they were. I had such a wonderful experience with my bridal associate. She was so patient, kind and completely sincere in her desire to make me feel comfortable and taken care off. I found so many dresses I loved but finally decided on a custom gown. I’m so pleased I found this store that was everything I ever dreamed off, and more! I can’t recommend enough.
My experience at Poised Bridal was beyond my expectations - the service, variety of dresses and quality was fantastic. Everyone had an incredible impact on my experience - They were experienced, calm and kind. The store has nicely balanced being upscale, but not snobby and has a huge variety of dresses, in a small intimate setting. While I wasn't ready to make my decision during my first appointment, it was my second appointment that sealed the deal. Nancy the owner was on the floor and personally introduced herself to myself and my family. She worked closely following a small budget issue and resolved it within minutes. I would recommend the store to any bride that is looking for an incredible experience. NOTE save Poised for your LAST appointment, I did not, and lost big time on the special deal they had when you say yes to the dress on your first appointment. I just made the mistake of booking Poised early in my dress hunting, and felt I needed to go see more, but after going to several other places, I came back and became a Poised Bride!
I had an amazing experience shopping here at Poised Bridal for my wedding dress, and accessories! I had visited other stores, and Poised is simply the BEST! Poised Bridal has great designers and a wide variety of dresses at affordable prices. My entire entourage came along with me, and they were allowed to peruse the dresses in the store. I was lucky enough to fall in love the very first dress I tried on (even after I tried on several more) they knew my style right away and nailed it! Everyone at Poised was very friendly, helpful, and got me in and out of my dresses in a heartbeat. I would recommend Poised Bridal to any bride!
La major tienda en todo el valle, y quizas muchas otra ciudades. Yo fui a muchas tiendas antes de llegar a Poised Bridal y la verdad aquí se encuentra lo que NO encuentras en las otras, mientras que en la otras encuentras malos tratos, vestidos anticuados, en Poised Bridal encuentras los mejores vestidos y sobre todo el MEJOR servicio, aquí te tratan con cariño y mucho respeto, no eres una novia mas. Muchas gracias por hacer que mi dia y el de mi familia fuera tan memorable.
I cannot say enough great things about Poised Bridal. My daughter recently moved from NY to McAllen, and together we went to over 5 of the top dress stores in Manhattan (including Kleinfields) and to 2 stores in McAllen (including Sposa Mia), and none come even remotely close to Poised Bridal in terms of selection, service, cleanliness, and quality of gowns. The entire staff is wonderful! Nancy was incredibly patient, enthusiastic and never made us feel pressured - she provides a genuine care that she wants you to feel your best on your wedding day. I am so happy that my Daughter found Poised Bridal as the place to say "YES" to her dress. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I went here with my mom and sister and frankly I did not know what to expect since we had very stale experiences at other salons. The owner and staff are THE BEST. I am usually one of those people who only write reviews to warn of terrible places but they were so good I felt like I had to write this review. Poised Bridal is so MAGICAL, from their gorgeous store, amazing selection on accessories, shoes, but above all their dresses are like nothing else you find at the other salons, and their SERVICE is remarkable. They treat you with care, love and respect. 10/10 would recommend.
Simply the finest store in the RGV, they carry everything a bride could possibly need on her special day. Nancy’s ability to create any headpiece is remarkable. Love her store, if you are looking for fine jewelry, bridal gowns, and a great service, you need to come see them.
This place is one of a kind!! It’s more than five stars. Not only do they have the best and most unique dress selection, and the most amazing accessories, but their staff is wonderful, and ready to help you pick out your dream dress. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a unique and one of a kind experience. Thank god for this little gem! Nowhere else around the area can compare.
Amazing Poise Experience!! I cannot say enough about this place! Poised Bridal has a beautiful and vast/diverse selection of dresses, and the glamorous ambiance sets the tone for an amazing shopping experience – more than I could have asked for. The owner is wonderful and her staff played an instrumental role in helping me find my dream dress. Highly recommend!
Everything about this store is marvelous, their gifts selection is vast, I personally love their jewelry collection. Nancy has designed many different crowns for many events. Her creativity is amazing, and my go to store whenever I am looking for a special gift, or accessories. For those looking for bridal dresses, they carry the best. My niece got a custom dress, and it was more than we ever imagined it would be! Thanks Nancy for always taking care of me, and making me look good for all my events.
I want to THANK my fairy gown mother NANCY for making my dream dress shopping a reality! She and her amazing store have gone beyond to ensure that my bridal dress shopping experience was fast, easy, and very satisfying. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Nancy for all that you do, and keep making dreams reality for all those that are looking for dresses hard to find! XOXO Poised Bridal is the BEST.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Poised Bridal! This was only the second dress shop I came to before I said "Yes to the Dress". This is the total 'bridal experience' that I wanted! Everyone who works there is so helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable to what YOU want and helped me find my perfect wedding dress. I love their “Yes" to my dress celebration! It was such a fun experience and a memory I will never forget! Everything about my wedding dress experience with Poised Bridal was absolutely perfect. Definitely go to Poised Bridal to get the bridal experience and wedding dress of your dreams!
Like a Kleinfeld experience! I wish I can give Poised Bridal 10 stars! If you're the type of bride that thinks you need to visit more than 1 bridal store (like me), make sure Poised Bridal is your LAST stop because I guarantee you will find your dream dress there! The salon is so beautiful, from the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the staff and your consultant. They really make you feel special and give you their undivided attention. My consultant made me feel sooo comfortable and so special! Words can't even express! For every dress I tried on, she asked me how I felt in the dress, what I liked or didn't like about each dress. The first dress she brought in was AMAZING! She truly listened to what I was saying and what I was looking for. What I liked and didn't like. I think I tried on 4 dresses total. Turns out, the first wedding dress was THE ONE! It's a beautiful dress!! That's how good they are. I found my dream dress on the first try! Poised Bridal was my first bridal stop, but I wish it had been my last because I completely regret going to another salon in McAllen afterward, and lost out on amazing deals, but I felt like I had to go to more than one bridal salon because I thought it wasn't possible to find the one on the first go around. However, I couldn't get the Poised Bridal dress out of my head. Side note, the salon on 10th in McAllen was AWFUL!. Do NOT go anywhere else. Poised bridal gives you the BEST experience ever! I went back to Poised two days later to get my dream dress - the very first dress I tried on. I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day!
Absolutely amazing experience! At Poised, you WILL find the dress! My consultant was professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable about ALL things bridal! They worked within my budget (actually under my budget) and found me a dress better than I ever could have imagined! I never thought I could find a dress that made me feel bridal, sexy, sophisticated, and a fairy tale princess all in one gown! Poised truly has it all, especially the VERY best bridal consultant on the planet! I had been to 4 other bridal shops before Poised and I was feeling defeated in finding my gown... The experience at Poised made all my wedding dreams come true! When I was having trouble deciding between gowns, they helped make the decision easy! They went above and beyond to help me imagine my wedding day. Highest of recommendations!
TOP NOTCH! I had such an amazing experience at Poised Bridal Boutique. The quality of dresses and their service is above and beyond any other bridal boutique I visited in the area. The very first dress I tried on had me in happy tears because it was so beautiful! My consultant really listened to what I was looking for and pulled dresses based on my feedback. She ended up pulling the dress that I picked! Everyone in the boutique made me feel so special throughout the entire process. I love my dress so much I'll be wearing it twice :)
Poised Bridal far exceeded my expectations, and they were one of my favorite wedding vendors! Five stars just aren’t enough to convey my appreciation of this bridal boutique. The first time my mother and I stepped into Poised Bridal, we were overwhelmed with how warm and genuine the entire staff was. My consultant was so sweet and accommodating. I ended up buying the first dress I tried on along with many others, I never felt pressured, I know I made the right decision, not only because I loved the dress, but because I felt so comfortable with this amazing store. Each time I visited for a fitting, I was greeted with smiling faces, cheery personalities and warm hugs. I felt like all of the girls have become my friends! The month before the wedding, I lost a couple inches of weight, and when I went for my final fitting a week before my big day, it needed to be taken in. They assured me it was no problem and quickly completed the alterations. My dress was perfect when they finished the modifications and alterations! I got so many compliments on the style, but I also got quite a few on how well it fit me. The alterations team at Poised Bridal does top-notch work. I can't thank them enough for making my dress buying experience exceptional and fun!
I absolutely loved my experience at Poised! It was the 3rd dress shop I had gone to and I was feeling completely defeated going into that appointment. I wasn’t excited or thinking I would have any luck, but I knew I had to continue the dress shopping journey as our wedding was months away. As soon as I arrived I was quickly approached by my consultant and was offered something to drink. We went back and she started asking how my shopping appearance had being going thus far. I told her the truth and that they had been fine. I had a dress in mind that could possibly be the one I go back to, I just needed to go to one more place to make sure which happened to be Poised. I showed her my top contender and she asked me what was missing from it? I told her I couldn’t put my finger on it, it was just missing that “this is the one” feeling and factor. She quickly went on her search and returned with two dresses. I put on the first dress and immediately had that this is what I’ve been waiting for feel! It sounds super corny and cliché, but I truly felt that “when you know you know“ feeling. I was super excited to show my mom and she could see on my face that I had found MY DRESS! They did an amazing job and listened to me and even after I knew I was certain she had me try on two other dresses just to make sure. We toasted with a glass of champagne and I had such a feeling of relief! This place was amazing from start to finish and they are a life saver. They made my experience so comfortable and I knew I was in good hands. Thank you Poised! #poisedbride
Poised was the 2nd and last place I visited to get my dress. I LOVE this store so much! If you're like me and wonder where else to go shop other than the stores in McAllen, look no further. The women here are so polite, professional and nice. And the dress selection is so extensive, there's a gown here for everyone. They helped me get really specific and narrow down to a small selection of dresses, and then I kid you not, let me keep trying on two dresses for at least 15 minutes back and forth. I don't know how she has that kind of patience. She didn't push me into any style, or offer an opinion. She asked me what I did and didn't like, and brought selections based on that. They offer the best customer service. Felt amazing to say yes to the dress here!
Este fin de semana pasado viajamos a McAllen con mi sobrina y visitamos 2 salones, los mejores del valle. El primero fue muy rápido y sin importancia, ya que nos trataron medio mal, apresurado y tuvimos que estacionarnos un poco lejos. Casi sentíamos que el viaje fue en vano, cuando en nuestra próxima cita TODO cambio, en Poised Bridal desde el estacionamiento, el recibimiento, el área de nuestra cita, todo fue mágico! Divertido, y la dueña y Diana nos hicieron sentir como en casa, nos ofrecieron diferentes bebidas y hasta champagne tomamos al festejar que nuestra sobrina, hija, nieta encontró su vestido de sus sueños! Poised Bridal es fenomenal, su servicio es estupendo, la boutique es hermosa y huele hermosísima, limpia, y sus vestidos, WOW. Si eres una novia y buscas vestido de novia, AHH y tienen también vestidos para la mama, tía y abuela, damas y hasta de pajecito! No pierdas tu tiempo en lugares que te trataran como otra más del montón, dale a Poised la oportunidad de que el día que encuentres tu vestido sea el MEJOR!
Pues nada que ver con Sposa Mia, la verdad no hay ni comparación. El servicio, la selección de vestidos, como te tratan en Poised Bridal es completamente lo opuesto. Que gusto que mi hija sea una Poised Bride porque con tantos beneficios, y como son de lindas, la dueña ni se diga. Nos atendió Diana y luego luego entendió lo que mi hija buscaba, y después de tan solo 4 vestidos, mi hija encontró SU vestido! Muchas gracias a esta tienda por tratarnos como gente decente, con cariño y gracias por darles a mi familia y a mi hija una experiencia extraordinaria.
After searching and receiving horrible customer service at other locations. I found AWESOME customer service here, and I found my perfect dress. Nancy the owner and the entire staff are so caring and loving. I'd recommend this Boutique over any other place, even the one that had been the leading bridal store in McAllen on 10th. I am glad to be a Poised Bride, and having them being part of my special day. Poised Bridal is always so sweet and kind. I just picked up my custom dress, and the results were better than I even imagined. My dress fits amazing, they even gifted me the cutest slippers for my big day. Thank you Poised for being so patient and sweet. Thumbs up to their amazing and very much appreciated customer service!!!
We cannot say enough good things about this place. I am a mother, and although my older daughter bought her dress at another famous salon in McAllen, my younger daughter found out about Poised Bridal and without hesitation we went there, and I have to say that there is no comparison, Poised Bridal has ample parking, super friendly consultants, and their bridal selection is amazing. They made sure that my daughter and our family had an amazing bridal experience!
After going to several bridal salons in McAllen, SA, Austin, Houston, and being completely discouraged, my family and I headed to Poised Bridal and were blown away by the service! Who would have thought that the BEST salon would be in my back yard, with Poised Bridal there is no need to travel to find better options because Poised is the best! The staff is very attentive, patient, and put me right at ease, and made me and my family feel so incredibly special and happy! When we found the perfect dress, they celebrated with us and really made the experience so wonderful and memorable. When my custom dress came in, it was more than I ever expected, to have a dress made to my own body measurements was truly magical! The staff is always warm, friendly, and helped to accommodate my busy work schedule so I could make my fittings. Their service was excellent and I would recommend the salon to anyone looking for a wedding dress!
Apparently some people spend an entire year trying to find ‘the dress’. Granted, I was not the typical bride and my focus was not just on the dress however it does take time. I went to three other places in McAllen and was not really impressed with the selection or the service I expected especially from Sposa Mia. My wedding was four months away and I knew that I needed to find something fast or I would have to get something ‘off the rack’. There are no words to express how grateful I am for Poised Bridal. Once we found a dress that I liked, they made sure my dress could be delivered on time. The service I received was fantastic; management truly went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied. The whole idea of trying on dresses, standing in front of a mirror surrounded by other brides, and their families standing everywhere made me anxious and uncomfortable. Some people live for this moment but it was not my thing. Poised Bridal could see this and put me in my own large room for each fitting, away from the madness so that it was just me, my mom, and best friend. It was perfect and very special for us. I truly appreciate the made to my size dress, which saved me in alterations. You hear horror stories of brides spending thousands for additional alterations and salons just trying to take advantage. Nancy the owner and the entire staff are phenomenal and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. I can’t say enough about how great they were. From start to finish everything was perfect and a wonderful experience. I’ll be forever grateful!
EXTRAORDINARY & UNMATCHED service. Poised Bridal goes above and beyond start to finish. I received patient and thoughtful service from all bridal consultants, personal care from the owner, Nancy, and careful attention to all customizations I requested for my dress. I was very scared at first to customize my dress, but OMG when it arrived, it was beyond what I ever imagined, my dress fit me like a glove, and there is something EXTRA magical about trying on a dress that fits you amazingly, and every detail is perfect.
Poised Bridal was amazing from start to finish. We had had a hard time shopping all day with many salons being so rude if we didn't have an unlimited budget. What a relief to find Poised Bridal. From the moment we walked in, the manager was so kind and welcoming, explained their process, and everyone we worked with treated us like we were VIPs even with a normal budget. I found the dress, paid so much less than it was listed at other salons, and had so much fun along with way. SUCH a huge difference from the other shops in McAllen. Don't waste your time at the others, Poised Bridal has such a huge selection, an amazing staff of stylists and will definitely find you the dress of your dreams.
Poised Bridal was the second shop my mother and I visited, and our experience was AMAZING!!!! The staff there was so helpful and friendly. My friends and I had such a wonderful time there shopping. My consultant and the owner were the best. They really know their stuff! They helped me find the perfect wedding gown. I can't wait for my wedding day. I will always remember that they helped me pick out my dress for the most important day of my life.
After feeling defeated with what I always dreamed that would be my bridal store of choice Sposa Mia in McAllen, where reality hit hard, and my experience was pretty disappointing I googled and found Poised Bridal, I quickly scheduled an appointment online, and I went over to Poised Bridal where it all changed. I fell in love with their selection of dresses and VIP private suite. The whole staff was so personable and friendly, suddenly I found myself in Bridal Heaven - At Poised I felt comfortable, appreciated, and like a million dollars! Not only did I get to try on as many dresses as I wanted, but they made me feel SPECIAL, the owner, I cannot say enough words about Nancy, and her amazing store, I truly appreciate her passion, great taste in bridal dresses, accessories, furniture, scent, everything about Poised Bridal is magical. I found my dress, shoes, accessories, even my lasso, and garter. It was such a pleasant experience working with the PB team, and thank you for making my shattered dreams into a beautiful reality.
After going to Sposa Mia, and a few others in the McAllen, and San Antonio area that had either stuffy or overly-theatrical atmospheres, Poised Bridal was a welcome respite. The environment is relaxed and inclusive. The owner and staff are able to see qualities in you that you may not recognize in yourself—they suggested that I try on a dress that I hadn’t anticipated liking, and that ended up being my wedding dress! The store’s selection of dresses is for the modern romantic woman. The staff is friendly, sympathetic, and eager to help you overcome hurdles you encounter along your bridal journey.
At Poised Bridal, I felt like a bride that mattered, unlike at Sposa Mia where I felt RUSHED, and not important. I love Poised Bridal!
The whole experience was absolutely amazing! Unlike the weak, almost indifferent experience we had at sposa mia. From the moment we walked in, the crazy heavenly smell, and overall their amazing customer service. They really listened to me when I talked about what I was looking for and stayed within my budget. They never tried to have me pay more than I wanted from the beginning. They picked out dresses they knew would be ready in time for my wedding because I’m about 6 months out, with all of them being within my budget. All the dresses I tried on were absolutely gorgeous! They made the entire experience a magical experience. I left feeling like an absolute princess! Overjoyed I found my dream dress.
AMAZING! If I can leave more stars, I would!. I had an extraordinary time at Poised Bridal. From the moment we arrived the process was so smooth and personal. Diana, who is also the manager was a dream come true. She really listened to what I liked and got to know me as a person and my style and pulled dresses that I loveeeed! This was only my second time looking at dresses and Diana helped me find “the one”! The selection in the salon was limitless and Diana was soo knowledgeable about every single dress. I highly recommend making an appointment at this salon. You will not be disappointed! Don't go to other places where they treat you like a number, here you will feel so special! The Poised experience allowed me to feel what I expected to get and more out of a bridal appointment because of the neutral, and almost rushed experience I had at SPOSA MIA. Thank you so much, Diana, for helping me find the perfect dress that I love for my wedding day!
I was really happy with my experience at Poised Bridal. When I went looking for dresses, I stumbled upon Poised Bridal on my way to a different location. Nancy the owner who helped me find my dress was an angel! She was able to find dresses that fit my style, budget, and personality. She made recommendations and suggestions based on the body type that helped me find the perfect dress for me (and it was on sale)! The dress was delivered on time without any issues. Overall I think Poised Bridal is a great smaller bridal salon where you can get individualized attention, unlike the service I got at Sposa Mia where service was totally the opposite.
Poised Bridal was wonderful and I definitely recommend visiting here! It was the second place I visited to go on my dress hunt. Daniel was fantastic. He and the owner were very patient, attentive, and made the whole experience very comfortable. I went with just my mom and we had the whole salon to ourselves. I was deciding between two dresses and so tried them on each a couple of times and I was never rushed to make a decision. I ended up finding my dream dress here and I cannot thank Poised Bridal enough!
Poised Bridal was incredible! Being the second bridal salon I had the opportunity to visit, Poised Bridal was everything I wished my first shopping experience at Sposa Mia WOULD have been which was totally the opposite, Sposa Mia is a madhouse, and dirty, brides are looked as transactions, their staff is moody, unappreciated to the fact that we are there to spend our money on their store, they made me and my family feel uncomfortable, you could clearly see treatment is preferential to some brides, I did not even get offered water, and not that I wanted, but it is just the principle, treat one like you would treat all =. . . . At Poised Bridal, you can experience excellence, their atmosphere is amazing, a real Fairytale! their boutique is clean, gorgeous and their signature smell is amazing, it is full of gowns, and their accessories area is OMG!. The owner and the staff treat you with so much love and care, I was amazed at how thorough the staff at Poised Bridal was in their knowledge of the dress selection and how willing they were to try different combinations of accessories and silhouettes on me! I am two years out from my wedding and they recommended I waited at least a year to order my dress, because bridal trends are always changing, and they want me to absolutely love my gown 100% and not feel like I chose to early, who does That? This store could have taken my money, and instead, what they recommended makes a lot of sense, since I am a bride that wants the newest out there. Thank you Poised Bridal for EVERYTHING, and for the water, tea, coffee, and Champagne I and my family had, our visit to your store was full of Joy, you made me feel like a princess! I am positive that I will be returning in about a year and that I will be a PROUD Poised Bride! OH- almost forgot, their curvy selection of gowns is a dream. Being around a wedding size 16, I was amazed at how many gowns they had that actually zipped up on me! That in itself is invaluable.
I stumbled upon Poised Bridal and I am so thankful that I did! It is such a lovely boutique. Great atmosphere, warm and friendly staff. Excellent customer service! They have a vast selection/variety of gowns. Their goal is to help brides find "the dress" for their special day. Thank you for a wonderful and stress-free "Bridal" experience. I am so glad and fortunate to have found your boutique!
I visited a bridal store that was known to be the best more than 3 times, everytime I would go it was packed of people. Aside from being packed I felt rushed by employees. I regret not finding out about poised bridal earlier! Their priority is helping one bride at a time and to make sure they find their dream dress. I felt super comfortable with the staff, I didn’t have to worry about the store being over crowded, because I had the store to myself. There is a variety of dresses and accessories! I’m so happy to find my dream dress at Poised Bridal!
Thank you Poised Bridal from the bottom of my heart for making my niece feel like a million bucks, helping her find her dream wedding dress, and treating us like family!
I really enjoyed my experience at Poised Bridal Salon, where I had found my wedding dress. The team at Poised Bridal does a great job bringing in very beautiful, interesting and original pieces! I have visited 3 other salons, from small boutiques to very well known ones, and here is where I could find that unique dress that I said yes to.
I said yes to the dress at PB! PB was the third bridal salon I visited after a disappointing first session at Sposa Mia Bridal, followed by a meh session at David's Bridal (both collections at the first two were very curated and limited). If you are a picky bride that has a strong point of view about what you like and don't like, you're going to love PB. I worked with Daniel & Nancy and they were AWESOME. They took the time to ask me about what I was looking for, my venue, etc. and then I felt like they really understood me and my vibe. I ended up selecting the very first gown I tried on (and had pulled by Nancy). PB has a wide range of price points, too. I saw a good amount of beautiful and affordable gowns. Overall though, PB's huge selection and guarantee price match makes it well worth it to deal with the crazy. I plan to bring my sister back to shop for her bridal gown!
Poised Bridal is a perfect boutique in the heart of the downtown Edinburg. With the help of my consultant, Daniel, I was able to find the most stunning dress. If you are looking for an intimate feel with a personal touch, then Poised Bridal is the place. I couldn't be happier that I bought my dress at Poised Bridal.
I had always dreamed of buying my dress at Sposa Mia where most of my cousins had bought their dress. There I felt more like a transaction, like a sale that they just wanted to cash in. Luckily one of my friends bought their dress at a new shop in Edinburg and my experience at Poised Bridal was like night and day, at Poised they listened to what I wanted, was considerate of my budget without any negativity (which I had experienced at Sposa Mia), and was very informed on what looked good when sharing her opinion if I asked her. Also, the selection here is INCREDIBLE! I asked for something more unique and not cookie-cutter and Nancy really delivered. Furthermore, they assisted in taking pictures of me in any dress I wanted because my mother couldn't be there in person and I was shopping alone. She never rushed me and truly helped me find MY STYLE. Towards the end when I had found the one, we did a facetime with my mom, and she busted into tears, I think we were all crying, Nancy popped the champagne and we celebrated! They really made me feel like they cared, I am so happy that they earned my bussiness. If you're thinking of visiting this store DO IT. I recommend Nancy and all of her amazing team to all my friends, she was My Fairy Gown Mother, and she can be yours too!
Visite las varias boutiques de novias y en todas salía de mal humor!!! Estaba toda estresada! Hasta que me salió un post en Instagram de poised bridal y sin mucha expectativa agende una cita, desde mi primer contacto sentí la calidez y el servicio excelente!!!!!!! Ya que llame un día que estaban cerrados y me atendieron con la misma atención como si estuvieran abiertos!!!! La mayoría ni contesta el teléfono! Llegue a mi cita y me sentí con toda la confianza del mundo y súper bienvenida! La boutique la cierran para ti!!! No hay presión del tiempo lo cual me encanto!!! Tienen vestidos hermosoooos! Salí súper contenta y emocionada!!!
I had a really wonderful experience shopping for my wedding dress at Poised Bridal Couture. The shop itself was clean and well organized and the staff really made me and my family feel comfortable. We had the shop to ourselves for the entire process which made for a much more intimate and enjoyable experience. They allowed me to try on several dresses more than once to make sure I chose the perfect one and I was really happy with my final selection. The whole process was smooth and I truthfully couldn't recommend Poised Bridal enough. I'd been to a few other bridal shops prior to my appointment at Poised and between the customer service, the selection, the pricing, and the overall positive experience I'd say this is easily the nicest shop in the area.
What an amazing experience! 5 stars are not enough!!!! I can’t express how amazing Poised Bridal and the team were to work with- absolutely amazing!!! From the moment I walked in I was greeted and felt so comfortable. I knew this was the place before I said yes to a dress and I did say yes to the dress! We didn’t want to leave because we were having so much fun! Nancy is the best in the business... and when she heard my vision... she made it come true! I went to two bridal shops before this one and they can’t even compare to my experience with Poised Bridal! Other bridal shops told me “we can try to find what you are looking for”... Nancy said “we will find what it is your looking for”, and we did! She deserves way more than 5 stars!! Loved my experience here! She was so lovely to talk to and I'm so happy I found my dress with her!!!
So I went here along with a bunch of other bridal salons in McAllen, including the one my family always turned to, it is well known and used to be the best in the area, I found a lot of dresses I liked there within my budget, but nothing special, and the service was mediocre, to say the least. When I went to Poised Bridal, it was like what a kid feels in a toy or candy store, their gowns selection is even better than the other store, and affordable too. On my first appointment, I fell in love with one dress I could not stop thinking about. Daniel and Maria were my sales associates and they were great! Nice, honest, fun and patient! I went back and saw the dress again before committing. It was the best decision ever. Working with Poised Bridal was professional and seamless. The entire experience was perfect and I can not thank them enough for caring, and for helping me find my wedding dream dress!
The Poised Bridal team was amazing. After going to some other bridal salons that were pushy or made me feel like just another bride to move through the process, this place was a breath of fresh air. They never rushed me or pushed me. Instead, they were extremely helpful and made the process fun! I can't recommend them enough!
I highly recommend Poised Bridal! they were one of my first bridal appointments. Then, one day after visiting 2 other stores, my mom suggested we go back to show my best friend a dress she hadn't seen. We called and they were able to squeeze us in. Even though we were only expecting to try on the one dress, Nancy asked what else I had seen/liked recently. She then pulled additional dresses for me to try on-- I was not expecting that since I came in unexpectedly! I had gone to another bridal store twice to try on another dress I liked and they were not as accommodating! I ended up buying the dress she showed me on my second visit-- but not before coming to the store twice more. Each time the staff at Poised were helpful, prepared, and knowledgeable. They were able to answer all my questions and guide me through this process. Having been to 4-5 other stores, I had plenty of experience with various sales associates. By far, Poised was the best. Their high level of customer service was apparent from the start. I am thrilled that I was able to purchase my dress from them. When I came in to purchase the dress that I was speaking with the owner-- I didn't realize that initially. She sat down with me to answer my final questions and to relay information to the dress designer to ensure that everything was as I wanted. Everyone who I interacted with at the store was helpful and friendly. When I came back, a sales associate who was present during my second visit remembered me and the dress I was buying. Again, I am glad that I was able to purchase my dress
from this boutique where I felt like they took the time to get to know me and help me find a dress, I am so excited about!
I went to a lot of different bridal shops in the McAllen and surrounding areas, and Poised Bridal hands down offered the best service and (for my style) had the best and most diverse offering of bridal gowns. It's highly curated and I like that they include some different and unique styles that you can't find in other shops, while also being somewhat on the affordable side (bonus!). Nancy My Fairy Gown Mother! and the team are great and very accommodating, they will make you feel like you are worth every penny, I also feel like their gowns look and feel like a real bridal gown. I can't recommend enough!
Huge thank you to Poised Bridal for not only helping me find the perfect dress for the big day but making the day so much fun! My guests and I had a blast at our appointment, they made us feel like a million dollars. We ended up canceling our other appointment at another store because we knew we had the one! I would definitely recommend Poised Bridal to anyone.
After going to seven bridal boutiques in the RGV, and SA that had either stuffy or overly-theatrical atmospheres, Poised Bridal was a welcome respite. The environment is relaxed and inclusive. The owner and staff are able to see qualities in you that you may not recognize in yourself—they suggested that I try on a dress that I hadn’t anticipated liking, and that ended up being my wedding dress! The store’s selection of dresses is for the modern romantic woman. The staff is friendly, sympathetic and eager to help you overcome hurdles you encounter along your bridal journey. I love Poised Bridal!
Poised Bridal was amazing from start to finish. We have had a hard time shopping all week with many salons being so rude if we didn't have an unlimited budget. What a relief to find Poised Bridal. From the moment we walked in, the manager was so kind and welcoming, explained their process. Everyone we worked with at Poised Bridal treated us like we were VIPs even with a normal budget. I found the dress and had so much fun along the way. SUCH a huge difference from other shops in McAllen, especially Sposa Mia that was supposed to be the best. Don't waste your time at the others, Poised Bridal has such a huge selection, an amazing staff of stylists and will definitely find you the dress of your dreams!
I'm not trying to be harsh about my experience, but I went in there because they had a designer that i was interested in. I liked some dresses from there but the service was not what i expected. I just wasn't comfortable with a man helping me inside the room, without a robe. The service was very unprofessionals, wearing sandals when it's supposed to be a high end store. I ended up buying my dress elsewhere.
Before visiting Poised, I tried on approximately 75 other dresses at multiple salons across the RGV, and San Antonio. Poised had the dress of my dreams which happened to be the complete opposite of anything I had ever pictured for myself prior. I chose one of the dresses from their private collection, that I was able to customize to perfection, I basically created my dream dress that I had not being able to find anywhere. The whole experience was everything I could have asked for. 100% recommend Poised Bridal in the RGV area, “The Best in the RGV” even better than those salons in San Antonio. If you’re looking for something a little off beat, edgy, whimsy, and hard to find dress, come and design your own at Poised Bridal!.
Poised Bridal, you are amazing! I went in with ideas of what I thought I wanted, but after striking out at other salons I knew I had to try Poised... Thankfully I did. In my appointment, it wasn't until the last dress (and at the last-minute addition) that I found "the one". I wish I could wear it every day - for any bride looking for something different than the traditional - try Poised, their service is 5 stars; their selection is overwhelming in a fantastic note, their quality far better than at the other salons I visited.
After having an utterly frustrating experience at Sposa Mia, where I was treated more like a number and the place was disgusting to say the least. I found the dress at Poised Bridal! I didn’t know really what to expect when I got there but they were so great. The shop is beautifully designed. The rooms are private, super cute, and CLEAN and their signature smell is OMG. The consultant who helped me was very nice, very understanding and not at all pushy like at the other place. I tried on about 4 dresses, they listened attentively to what I liked about each one or didn’t like & helped me narrow my choices down. There was one dress I loved & I tried it on more than once. She helped me with the whole look & ultimately I knew it was the one. It was a great experience. I’m very excited about my upcoming wedding. I know I made the right decision going to Poised Bridal for having amazing inventory, but mainly for treating us with respect, dignity and care!
I am not a fan of dresses by any means and I was expecting this process to be the most difficult. I started at Davids Bridal, then Sposa Mia there I felt rushed and like I was just a number, didn't feel as if they were listening to what I wanted in the style dress, it was full of people making this experience even more uncomfortable than needed to be. I then made an appointment here at Poised Bridal Couture and my experience was totally amazing. Nancy the owner made me feel extremely comfortable which is very rare for myself to say. First of all, they only take 1 bride at the time, and to me, that was a total experience, it felt like I was part of the Poised family, and like the whole store was for myself!. It was everything, from my name at the entrance mirror, the fresh flowers, mints in my private suite, where no one had to go in and out for me to get changed in and out of dresses. Their set up is really a dream for brides like myself that like privacy.
Everything about this store is right on the spot, the details, ambiance, and they have a wide variety of styles and sizes and the service was a 10/10. I would highly recommend Poised Bridal Couture and Nancy to anyone in need of a wedding dress
My sister got her dress at another boutique, and I went there first because of their huge selection but I did not find anything I liked, nor at the other 4 boutiques I visited, and just as I was planning a trip to Dallas or NY to visit the boutiques there, my mom told me about Poised Bridal, I was reluctant to go since I did not find anything that I liked at what I thought was the best bridal boutique in the valley. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised, this boutique is not only gorgeous, but their accessories options are endless. Poised Bridal is by far the best bridal boutique not only in the valley but of many other places I have visited around the state. What impressed me the most is the designers they carry, the dresses are truly chosen to mesmerize sophisticated and any bride. Thanks to my mom, to the owner and all the people at Poised I was able to find what I thought would be impossible to find locally, I found my amazing dress!
Poised bridal is out of a fairytale book! My younger daughter is getting married next year, and when she picked me up to go to the bridal shop, I was surprised she headed over to Edinburg and not to McAllen where we bought her two older sisters dresses. As I entered the store I felt like I was not in Edinburg or anywhere in the valley anymore, this store is mesmerizing, the look and smell of this place is expensive, and refined, they have great taste in furniture. They have tiaras, beautiful shoes, jewelry, and items you would not just find anywhere else, not in the valley at least, or up to Houston. Nancy and her team are masters at customer service; they made us feel more than just a number or just another sale. The whole experience was magical, my Daughter found what she could not find anywhere else, and we must have gone to over 15 stores in several cities in TX. It is so nice to see that Edinburg is bringing wonderful business like poised bridal. I recommend this fine store to anyone looking for a wedding dress.
Seriously the best bridal store ever! I went here first, and then had another appointment at a different famous bridal shop later in the afternoon in McAllen because most of my friends had bought their dress there, it is like night and day, while the other place is loud, crowded, dirty, stinky (I refused to wear a robe that smelled like armpits). Poised Bridal is beautiful, serene, private, Clean and elegant; they only take one bride at a time! Smells like heaven, and I wish they would sell their signature scent, I would so buy it!. There is really no comparison, Poised makes you feel important, cared, loved. The owner and staff are amazing, their gown selection is exclusive, selected, refined and high end, best of all, I found my dream gown and could not be happier. I will refer this store to every single one of my friends getting married in the future. MUST GO!!
Had the most AMAZING experience at Poised Bridal Couture! The staff was so friendly and helpful and I could not be more pleased with my bridal gown! They seemed like they truly cared and made my whole experience magical! I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know!!
I loved this place. I highly recommend this Poised Bridal to all soon-to-be bride. Staff is knowledgeable, patient and helpful. They will help you feel so comfortable and help you look like a magazine bride. If you’re confused or undecided, they won’t try to persuade to buy just for them to sell. They’re honestly trying to help feel your best on your very special day.
Very patient! Look no further and GO to Poised Bridal Couture. You will not regret it.
Amazing experience!! I cannot say enough about this place! Poised bridal has a beautiful and vast/diverse selection of dresses, and the glamorous ambiance set the tone for an amazing shopping experience – more than I could have asked for. The owners are wonderful and their staff played an instrumental role in helping me find my dream dress. The cherry on the cake was their next door Gownsforacause boutique with amazing prices on their bridesmaids selection and their Cause is so nice. Highly recommend
