The employees at this establishment were the sweetest people you could ever meet when it comes to this important day. I went in with zero expectations, not expecting to find a dress at all. It was more of a day for the moms than anything else. ...
They let us peruse the dresses, explaining how everything was organized, and how to read the tags for pricing and sizes. They let my bridal party go wild pulling dresses for me while the assigned assistant escorted me around asking what I was really looking for. She was extremely friendly and put me at ease within seconds of closing the curtain. She explained that my comfort was the most important aspect that day and if I didn't like a dress for any reason, even while she was pulling it up for me, to let me know and she'd get me in something else ASAP. We ended up finding a dress that fit my body almost perfectly, the pricing was PERFECT, and it made me stop and stare at myself for longer than I ever had. She was almost more excited than I was and let me stay in the dress a little while longer. They even provided a list of seamstresses they recommend in the area as I did need to get it hemmed. The entire experienced began as full of anxiety and longing for it to be over, and because of the staff quickly changed into something fun and exciting.

that not all places are as pleasant or allow as much freedom as The Bridal Shoppe. So we went back to where we started and I had Emily help me for the second time and within just a few dresses I had found my one. Worth the drive from St. Louis county. I received so many compliments on how gorgeous my dress was and I didn't have to pay a fortune for it which made it even better. We also got the bridesmaid dresses from here and my girls had no problem sorting through that process. The Shoppe also sent me "Mr." and "Mrs." koozies prior to the wedding which we used for the whole wedding day. 10/10 would recommend!

mean I’m around a 6 in wedding dress size. Of course every dress designer is different. Once I tried them on I totally agree. The 6 was a teeny tiny amount to big but the 4 would’ve been too tight!

heir facebook page... so what do I do... stalk their facebook page and find some very beautiful dresses. So I call to make up a appointment and find out that they do a private appointment where you pay a small amount and they provide wine and snacks and it is only you and your girls in the salon. Of course I did it... I booked a private appointment for me and my girls to go dress shopping. During the appointment my consultant was very patient while she put me in 22 different dresses.... 22! then she asked me... then there on the bottom of the pile … THERE WAS THE DRESS! when I called and made the appointment I told the shop over the phone about my horrible experience and falling in love with a dress... they remembered the dress! I bought my dress, veil and picked out my bridesmaids dresses that day. My bridesmaids ordered their dresses in March and come time for them to get them sized one of my girls dresses was WAY too big... everywhere we took it to be altered said they couldn't do it... they could change the dress dramatically but it would cost more than the dress did... so I took it down to the shop and spoke with the girls working... they sized my bridesmaid... one of the girls working was very similar is size.. .she tried the dress on... they agreed that its wasn't ordered incorrectly that particular dress design was just made differently … but now we are 30 days out from my wedding and we will at least have to get it hemmed... The Bridal Shoppe made it happen! they ordered a smaller dress and rushed it so we would have it in time at no additional cost to me or my bridesmaid.... I will forever recommend them to every future bride I know!

t me down for the wrong time and I had asked them to change it back, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I ended up finding my dress there and I ordered a belt to go with it. I was not told it would take THREE months to get this belt. When I went to pick up my dress for alterations, I was finally told it would be three months and noone had an answer for me as to why I wasn't told this. I ended up using the Tina Fisher Alteration's which the Bridal Shoppe strongly encouraged me to use as it's the mother of one of their consultants. This lady was downright awful as she told me the alterations would be one price and then came back $100 more and even went off on me. The alterations lady even said the Bridal Shoppe was saying bad things about me (I'm guessing because I made a deal about noone telling me the belt took three months to get). When I brought up all of my issues to Amy - the manager/owner, she told me that this was just my side of the story and that it was lies that this lady said anyone in her shop could talk bad about me. She continued to argue with me and finally issued me a refund on my belt which I no longer wanted, because I found one for half price online. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT AND HORRIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS! I would strongly not recommend them!

2nd dress I tried on and bought that day. The set up was a little strange. They let everybody go around and pick dresses you think you'd like but it's impossible to see them in the bags. The employee brought out 3 dresses were exactly what I was looking for and were great. They did bring out dresses that were above my stated budget but told me right away so I could just avoid even looking at those dresses. I took one star away because they only had the dress I wanted in blush and could not show what it would look like in ivory and this made the decision very difficult. They did end up finding one online which helped but it would have been nice to be able to see the real thing to make my decision.

The Bridal Shoppe was great! Before I went to The Bridal Shoppe, I tried on dresses at David's Bridal. They were so pushy, and it was very obvious they just wanted my money. They had no concern with finding a dress that I loved! Not to mention....
.. They told me my budget was, "too low," for the kind of dress I wanted! When I got to the Bridal Shoppe... They found a ton of dresses that were in my budget, and were just what I was looking for. They were friendly, and never once made me feel like they just wanted my money. I tried on one dress, and fell head over heels in love with it! It did end up being a little over my budget, but they have the option to pay 30% down, then $30 towards it each month until it's paid off. That worked out perfect for me! They also work with, "The Alteration Shoppe," down the street from them. So, I was able to have my dress altered for a major discount. I'm sorry to say, but I forgot the lady who helped me look for my dress. Though I will say, from the times I went in there to pay on my dress, everyone I met was friendly, and very easy going. Very pleased with The Bridal Shoppe, and I still haven't seen another dress I love as much as mine! Thanks for all the help, girls!

The guys attire was not as great of an experience. In the end everything was fitting and looked amazing on wedding day but every single person had the wrong size ordered. When the measurements were being taken they kept telling this girl they have never worn sizes like 2xl or size 38 pants, yet she insisted she knew what she was doing. Surprise, surprise when they came in they were swimming in their clothes. They did fix the mistake and rushed ordered the correct sizes, but I think they could have saved everyone the rush order and extra trip if this girl would have just listened.

ver called to let us know that the bridesmaid dresses we're in, they ordered dresses 10x too big so alterations we're very difficult. On the guy side, I told them the lost of everyone of the groomsmen and ushers, so with so many people the grooms should have been free, but they made him pay a deposit because they only had 4 people down as renting (we had a total of 8). When the guys went to pick up their tuxes, they still made him pay and then overcharged the junior groomsman. They had all of their measurements wrong, I asked not to have "slim" pants, and they ordered slim pants, so they didn't fit the groomsmen. On the day of our wedding, the buttons on the jackets fell off BEFORE the ceremony! Causing alot of issues at the church. When I went in to talk with the shop about the complaints, the owner was VERY condescending and rude and did not take responsibility for anything and basically said all the problems were due to my bridal party. (This is the new owner by the way). I would not recommend going there for anything.

Even after some of the girls stated they couldn't afford the dress that day. After the poor service and rudeness of the staff we ultimately decided not to buy the dresses there. Fast forward a few weeks ago I went in to payoff my dress they said my balance was 189 which is what I was expecting. I paid it off then decided to order my veil too which was another 188, I put half down. I came in today to pick up my veil and pay the other half and they said I owed 270 because I didn't do the VIP program. I told them I was in a few weeks ago and told them I was paying it off and no mention of it then. They offered no apologies, nor any assistance and insisted to pick up my veil I had to pay them 270.

My daughter searched online for wedding dresses and there were two stores that carried the majority of the dresses she liked: Blossoms Bridal in St. Louis and The Bridal Shoppe in Crystal City. Since we live in St. Louis, we went to Blossoms ...
first. It was not the type of shopping experience we expected. We were limited to 90 minutes. A young girl helped my daughter and did not offer any guidance or suggestions. We decided to make the drive to Crystal City to go to The Bridal Shoppe and it was worth it!!! Marion helped my daughter every step of the way. My daughter was interested in ball gowns so Marion helped her select dresses. The part I appreciated the most was that Marion also encouraged her to try on other styles. She talked to my daughter about her size/shape and the reasons other styles would look good on her. Well,thanks to Marion, we ended up LOVING several styles that were not ball gowns! Marion was so professional and I marveled at her ability to point out the positive features of every dress without ever giving her personal opinion. When we were all in agreement that my daughter had found "the dress" Marion suggested that she not try on the remaining dresses in the dressing room. That was perfect advice! My daughter now has the wedding dress of her dreams.

The bridal shop was great. I didn't have a problem with them. I did use their alterations the only problem I had was that my bustle it did not hold up. My bridesmaids kept having to tie them and making it a knot.

Jennifer was excellent and helped me find the dress I had been searching for! And the seamstress Terry did a great job altering all of the dresses, including adding fabric to one of my bridesmaids who had gained weight. Price was also right. ...
However, the first seamstress we worked with refused to hem my dress because she would have to untack lace from the bottom. Several of our groomsmen also had trouble with their suits not fitting.

When I went in to order from the Bridal Shoppe, they promised me that they would put beadwork on my dress. However, the seamstress that promised this got fired, and then they told me they could no longer put beads on the dress because she was ...
the only one that did this. This upset me because I might not have purchased the dress knowing this. So then I figured I would just get a nice headpiece instead. When I found one that I liked, another worker said she would write the item number down for me and stick it in my file so I could order it the next time I came in. The next time I came into the store, they failed to have my headpiece written down, and I didn't see the one that I liked anywhere. Supposedly this worker got fired too. I was very disappointed because they failed to keep their word; as a bride, I didn't see my dress looking as good as what it would have if the promises had been kept. I received no refund for my troubles. However, I will say that they are much more reasonable than other bridal stores, and they actually have smaller sizes to try on in store. Moral of the story - do not go in expecting good service, but go in expecting to save money.

It is not OK for your dress to fall apart the ONE day you wear it.

I live about an hour away from this shop which had been recommended to me by a friend for their reasonable prices. After checking the place out, my mom and I feel in love with the personal feel of this small shop rather than the "just another ...
number" vibe we had been getting from some big name stores. We purchased the bridesmaids dresses and tuxes from here as well, driving our friends and family out for their fitting. All was well until it came time to have my dress altered. First, though the store and seamstress are supposed to keep hours until 8:00pm two nights a week, the seamstress would not set up an appointment time after 4:30pm. Even when my second dress fitting happened to also be a mandatory work meeting, I explained my boss told me I would be written up if I left work early that day, the seamstress would not budge. She simply told me then I would have to wait an additional three weeks to have my second fitting (which was just six days before my wedding). I went ahead and got written up and my mom used vacation time from work to come with me. Being frustrated with the situation, I was relieved when that fitting was over. But then I had to actually pick up my dress which was horrific. I really am not a big crier, but by the time I had actually tried it on, I was balling. The hem job was horrible with the left side so short, my shoe was actually showing and the right side long enough to actually touch the ground (which was how I wanted it). One bustle button was five inches higher than the other, revealing the back of my ankle with the dress was bustled. The bodice was taken in so much that it would not zip (I had actually lost weight as well). The cap sleeves which buttoned in had ripped off on one side and were merely attached by single strings. While another seamstress finally fixed most of the mistakes (another than the hem job), we had to go out another five times just to get my dress. This means that between tuxes, bridesmaids dresses and my dress, we travelled out 12 times...much more gas than made the low prices worth the trip. Similiarly, we did not get compensated in any way for these errors and the seamstress is still employed there. When we went in to talk to the manager about that seamstress keeping our money for something someone else had to fix, the seamstress and two other store employees ran into the room next to us, giggling, one holding a finger over her mouth and shshhing the others while they listened in to our conversations. (Apparently, they forgot the room is full of mirrors and we could see them do the whole thing.) We definitely walked away not feeling the same personal vibe that had cemented our decision to give them our business in the first place.

s, and trying to make them all look like that 2nd dress, I called this store, they pulled my information which had my cell phone #, I told them that my mom, sister and best friend would be with me if they still had the dress to try it on for the final time, and perhaps order that dress. They were excited and said everything would be ready for me! We drove the 40 mins. to get there only to be told they can't find the dress! As it turns out they sold it sometime in the last hour that they were open after my call or the 3 hours in the AM that they were open the day after the call! Why did they waste all of our time? They wouldn't let me try on the dress...they let us look at it...but we know ladies, that will NOT suffice when you are making the final decision! They had nothing to offer me, were not apolgetic, and never said anything about my call only the day before. As a consolation, they offered us to look at bridesmaid dresses....and I have to admit their bridesmaid dress selection is NOT all that impressive! I will NEVER recommend this store to anyone...I ended up getting the dress at Clarice's where they even offered my 20% of the dress's price in store credit to be used on shoes, jewelry and bridesmaid gifts. The help I received at Clarice's was far better than that at the Bridal Shoppe. I would recommend them to everyone!!!

Owner
The Bridal Shoppe was started in 1982. I was lucky enough to become the owner in 2015. I am married with three children. I was a stay at home mom for many years before working at The Bridal Shoppe. My youngest was almost in kindergarten when I decided it was time to go back to work. I am able to combine my love for fabrics with helping women feel beautiful and confident on their wedding days. My goal is to help all brides have an incredible experience while shopping for a dress. I want them to find the right dress for them, even if it is not my dress.
