I had an absolute amazing time picking out my dress at Simple Blush Bridal. Not only that, but the process afterwards of getting my dress preserved was soooo simple! They also reco...

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with simply blush. Cheyenne was truly so kind and incredibly good at her job. I am the kind of girl who hates trying things on s...
o I was excited for the experience but also very nervous. I was put at ease immediately when I walked through the front door with my mom and sister. Cheyenne pulled a bunch of dresses that I thought I would like and listened to the things I liked and disliked when trying on dresses. She had the amazing foresight to pull some things I wouldn't normally go for, and one that she had pulled ended up being my dream dress! I am so thankful to SimplyBlush for making this an easy and fun experience.
Let this serve as a warning to future brides considering Simply Blush Bridal.
While I initially had a positive experience during my appointments -traveling twice from Charlotte...
to Raleigh and feeling excited about finding my dress- the situation quickly turned into a frustrating and stressful ordeal. The core issue is a complete lack of transparency and accountability from the business.
At no point during either of my visits was I informed, verbally or in writing, that Simply Blush does not handle in-house alterations or customizations. In fact, the opposite was implied throughout the entire process. I worked closely with staff to select fabrics, discuss custom changes to my dress, and even modifications to my veil. I was clearly told these would be handled through alterations, and I agreed to pay those costs.
Based on these conversations, I proceeded with a $5,000 purchase under the impression that Simply Blush would manage the process.
Only after the purchase did I learn that they do not provide alterations at all.
To make matters worse, this critical detail is not explicitly stated in the contract, something even their own staff later acknowledged. Despite having witnesses, photos, and videos that support what was discussed during my appointments, the business has refused to take responsibility for the miscommunication.
Instead, they’ve deflected, minimized the issue, and failed to provide a meaningful resolution.
With my wedding approaching quickly and an extremely limited timeline for alterations, I was left scrambling and forced to fix a situation that could have easily been avoided with clear and honest communication.
For a business handling such high-stakes, emotional, and expensive purchases, this level of disorganization and lack of accountability is unacceptable. Future brides deserve full transparency before making non-refundable decisions like this. I felt taken advantage of.
Proceed with caution.
Amazing experience!!! I'm so glad I chose the "Luxe Appointment"... it truly made the process so personal, stress-free, & special. Every staff member I interacted with was so kind ...
& helpful. Gaby was absolutely amazing to work with. She so effortlessly guided me to a dress when I gave her so little to work with. I had no idea where to even start & in just one appointment, she helped me find the most perfect dress - one that made me feel beautiful. She was very attentive & knowledgeable. Thanks again Gaby for all of your help & lovely support throughout the appointment. The goodie bag at the end was so thoughtfully put together as well. 10/10 would recommend to friends/family.
I had an absolutely amazing experience with SSB and will recommend them to any and all brides. I said yes to my dress during my 90min appt with the help of Gabby! Gabby was so exce...
llent in every way possible. She was so knowledgeable and helpful with any questions I had. She helped bring my vision to life and was an amazing part of my day.
Do not purchase a dress from this shop! They do not stand behind their empty promises to make thingss right if they mess up! They incorrectly measured my daughter for her dress a...
nd ordered the wrong size; then body shamed her saying she must have gained weight. Said they would make it right and then went and ordered the same exact size. Refused to work with us and also refused to refund any partial refund for services such Blush package that were not done. I would never trust them with measuring correctly for a dress and would never recommend anyone purchasing from them as they do not stand behind their products or services; Also Maggie Sotterro dresses for incorrect sizing sheets provided to shops!
Simply Blush Bridal is the best! Kenan was amazing in helping me find my dream wedding dress. I went back three times to make sure I loved it, and they were so helpful and understa...

nd I started to tear up! It could not of been an easier or happier experience. Between the kind and helpful staff that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful, to the incredible selection (I loved every dress I put on) thank you for helping me execute my dream perfectly and in my price range! Also big thank you for making me feel special… my girls flights were canceled due to weather and even though they couldn’t be there y’all made it a day to remember!
The most amazing bridal experience I could’ve ever asked for! Gaby did an incredible job & helped me find my perfect dress! She picked something for me I never would have picked fo...
r myself in a thousand years and I immediately fell in love. The salon is so beautiful, comfortable, and inviting for any bride that steps in the front door. I’m so happy to be a simply blush bride 🤍
I’m so happy I decided not to cancel my appointment with them! I found the perfect dress there. I had previously went to two other shops and thought I found the 1 at both but once ...
I got to simply blush bridal and tried on my first dress I was so happy that I did. They didn’t pressure me to try on dresses outside of my price range like other stores. They worked with my payment arrangements and was way cheaper than I thought. My stylist and her assistant were amazing. They wanted to know me and my story and were just rushing me to try on and buy something. The manger was sweet as well. It’s a beautiful shop inside and out and you can tell they took their time to make it feel welcoming and cozy.
Simply Blush was a wonderful experience and has remained so since I purchased my dress! I purchased a dress from them this past weekend. I’m so happy it worked out that I got to vi...
sit that day. I was supposed to go to another store, but they cancelled on me last minute. I gave Simply Blush a call, and they were able to fit me in!
The dresses at the store were higher quality than the shop I had been the previous day. It was cute in there, the team was nice, they had a large selection of dresses at a generally affordable price! I was supposed to go to another shop the following day, but I found my dress at Simply Blush. They called the other bridal shop and covered the cancellation fee!
Kristine was working with me, and she was fantastic. She was super efficient at getting the dresses all situated in the dressing room, helped me pick out dresses to try on, fun, and gave great guidance. Even if you aren’t in the Wendell area, this place is worth a short drive.
I had the best experience at Simply Blush! The dresses were amazing and a great selection. The stylist was fantastic and everyone was so welcoming! My stylist asked about the weddi...
ng, what I've liked and disliked in dresses, and what I wanted to try on; she listened so well and chose all the right dresses. It came down to 2 dresses both were pretty different in look and style. I loved that they added accessories to both options; including a bouquet to help imagine the final look. Ultimately, I said Yes to a dress and couldn't be happier!
I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else to find my dress. From the gorgeous gowns, to the wonderful and kind staff, my appointment was an absolute dream. Kristine is an amazing styl...

I was specifically looking for the opposite of the big box bridal store experience. I was looking for something more intimate for me and my bridesmaids and I found exactly that at...
Simply Blush. We has the entire salon to just ourselves. They provide champagne and treats for my 10 year old daughter. They showed me dresses that matched what I was looking for in my price range. The dress arrived relatively quickly after it was ordered which gave plenty of time for alterations. The staff were incredibly kind and got along great with my bridesmaids while I was in the dressing room . You cannot go wrong with this bridal salon.
Two states and four bridal boutiques later, I found Simply Bridal Blush. Being in the right atmosphere makes a big difference in finding the dress. The inclusion of dress sizes to ...

sses I was interested in trying out and then from there we scoped the rack to see if there were others that caught my eye. They let me try on as many dresses as it took to find the one and did not push me at all to make a purchase, even though I absolutely thrilled to say "yes to the dress" here at Simply Blush Bridal!

days before the sale, my bridal consultant, Susie, called and informed me that they just received the dress I had been trying to find in my size!! I was so excited and I couldn’t wait for the appointment!
When arriving to the store, both of the owners and all of the staff was beyond friendly and willing to help me in any way needed.

I worked with Kenan, and after showing her photos of dresses I liked she helped me find a beautiful selection of dresses within my budget.

My whole experience was a 10/10, I felt so beautiful in my dress and cannot wait for it to come in!

Wonderful bridal shop all around! The boutique was adorable and had a very warm and inviting feel. They have a very large selection of dresses to choose from and they help you in a...
nd out of all the dresses to make it easy on the bride. All the stylists were super friendly and make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. They listen to what you say and always side with the bride if family or friends give opinions which was extremely nice to know they are there for you as the bride. I loved how each time I went there were not other brides in the back with you so you got some privacy while trying on dresses. I purchased my dress from here and could not be more excited to go back to pick it up and see all the lovely stylists again!
I went to over 9 other bridal shops before Simply Blush Bridal and they by far were the best!
Amazing doesn’t begin to describe the team and experience at Simply Blush! I was nervous on my first visit but Melisa put me at ease immediately and helped me find dresses that mad...
e me feel beautiful! I may be slight indecisive and needed three appointments to make sure that I found THE dress, but the team at Simply Blush handled all of my uncertainty with grace and helped me to find a dress that I am confident about.

Simply Blush Bridal went above and beyond for my bridal appointment. I came in during the week with my best friend and wanted my family to see THE ONE! My parents and family live ...
in two different states and could only come in on the weekends. SSB was completely booked and allowed me to come into the salon PAST BUSINESS HOURS to have "the moment" with my family and friends all jacked up in the dress with a veil. What bridal salon would do this? Go see your favorite girls at SSB and you will not regret it!
I absolutely love Simply Blush Bridal! The store is adorable, the staff are SO sweet, & they have tons of gowns for you to choose from. I found my wedding dress here and am thrille...
