The Bridal World

ch more personal experience since their was only one other bride to be in the shop at the same time. They had two different areas for showing off the wedding dresses and had plenty of seating space for my mom, aunt, grandma, and maid of honor. I initially made the appointment because they were having a Mori Lee trunk show and that was the designer I had in mind - I will say that the selection was a bit more limited than I anticipated and they didn’t have all styles that I had wanted to try, but for me it didn’t matter much since I found some beautiful dresses to try on. The ladies were very patient with me as I re-tried dresses and I ultimately ended up picking a gown that day after trying on 8 different ones. During alterations I was even more impressed with their seamstress Anna. My first appointment was only 15 minutes and she started pinning the dress all over and saying what we needed to alter. My dress fit perfectly the day of my wedding! I am so glad that I decided to go for a more personal experience at Bridal World instead of going to a bigger shop. They have a lovely selection of dresses and I highly recommend!

esh air! We were greeted by so much excitement and we just knew from the moment we stepped inside the store that we would be leaving with a gown! Ronnie, the owner, is just so wonderful! She has a knack for style and has selected the most stunning gowns for her store. AND the gowns are reasonable! Double win! I was the luckiest girl in the world to have Paulette be my bridal consultant that day. She was just full of love and excitement for me as I tried on gown after gown. She has an eye for fashion and knows exactly what you’re looking for! She listened to me and took all of what I wanted into account, and in the end, found me the gown of my dreams. Not only is she a true professional, but she is SO fun to be around! She has truly touched my heart and I will never, ever forget her. And last but not least, Hannah - my seamstress! Talk about talent - she really had her work cut out for her. There was so much detail on the gown and she worked with it like a pro - you would never know it was touched by looking at it! It fit me like a glove. I could not feel luckier that I got to work with all of these amazing women. You all made my wedding dreams come true! I will never be able to thank you enough! If you’re looking for the perfect bridal salon, the search stops here! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

as no where near that. Prices are so reasonable, dresses are so gorgeous and amazing quality. So many different options and styles to choose from. You will definitely walk out of here with a dress. Might as well save yourself the time and hassle of going the other dress shops and just come here first.

and belt all came in on time. Hannah the seamstress who worked on my dress did an excellent job and I couldn’t be happier! Loved my dress, loved my experience here. It was super convenient for me to get to on the south shore of LI, they were very reasonably priced and everyone just made me feel comfortable and at ease! Thank you also to Paulette for helping me find my dress and for making it such a fun once in a lifetime experience for my mom and I. Thank you to Lucy for always making me feel like the most beautiful woman in the room. And last but not least to Angela who was not my Seamstress but who made sure my dress and veil were all steamed and ready for pickup. Great team and experience at The Bridal World!

with and honest. I am soooo happy I came here first instead of a salon thats like a dress factory. I hate shopping and get extremely overwhelmed and from the minute we walked in I just felt so comfortable. If you can’t find a dress or are thinking of looking you should 100% check out the bridal world !!

smiling. They love what they do and it shows. So glad I choose them!!

f the way and help me find my dream dress! We had a blast together every appointment up until my wedding they became my family and my family loved the staff as well. Ronnie you are so amazing at what u do and ur staff thank u for being by my side and helping me find my dream dress love u all ♥️♥️♥️

ry time I came into the shop for all of my fittings! The seamstress Hanna does incredible work! From start to finish I had such a pleasant experience!

nyone. They helped me pick the dress of my dreams! Also Angela in alterations is a saint!!!! Thanks again!

e search for my gown at the beginning of January, it was easy to make an appointment and they call to confirm and ask you if you have any questions. My appointment was with PAULETTE and I would recommend her 1000x over. She had such a light and happy spirit and made looking for my gown so much fun. She interacted with my aunts and mother like she was one of them, taking in their opinions and pulling gowns that blended everything we were looking for in a dress. I have to say, I found a BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS AMAZING  gown, but because it was my first store I didn't want to commit. After searching I still was in love with the dress from Bridal World, and I called to make an appointment to see if I could try it on again.  I came in and Paulette put me back into the gown, the seamstress and owner even came to help with my appointment and answer questions. Once again great service, knowledgeable staff, and warm caring atmosphere. I still had one appointment in the city so I didn't get the dress that night, not once did I feel pressured to make a purchase, only encouraged to pick the perfect dress for me. I ended up finding my dress in the city, but on my way home my mom and I said how we felt a little sad that we didn't get the dress from Paulette just because we just loved our experience there,  if only they had the dress I ended up with in Freeport! PAULETTE  is amazing so if you are hunting for a gown ask for her!!

ad all the right suggestions and knew all the ins and outs of wedding dress shopping. Very personable place and I would recommend it highly. All the dresses were beautiful at this shop. We found the right one for my daughter and said “Yes to the Dress”.

found "the one" at bridal world. My dress was all lace with a gorgeous train that was attached to a beautiful shiny belt. The dress didn't come with straps but we were able to order extra lace from the bottom of my dress and the seamstress at bridal world made me the most amazing lace cap sleeves that really made the dress unique and perfect! Absolutely beautiful! I highly reccomend bridal world to any brides that are looking for a beautiful wedding dress with great service. They made me feel beautiful and never once did I feel pressured into buying anything like at other bridal stores. I felt at home here! Thank you so much bridal world for the best experience ever!

looking for a cute, quaint wedding dress shop with beautiful gowns and great prices!

and my daughter agreed to give it a shot!!! It was late in the day and we had no appt. but we were greeted by Ronnie owner of the shop as though she had been expecting us all along ...She introduced us to Stephanie who said "lets find you a dress" She got Melissa into a fitting room and 5 or 6 dresses later she found THE ONE !!! Wanting to be 100% sure Melissa said she would like to think it over for a few days and bring back her girls ....There was zero "sales pressure" they totally understood and made a 2nd appt for us . We went back on 9/17/17 Melissa got back into the dress she loved and within minutes everyone knew this was the one & Melissa said YES TO THE DRESS !! Oh how I wish we had gone here first it would have saved my daughter weeks of stress ! this is a magical time for all brides and this step in the process should be fun and happy !!! Ronnie & Stephanie know this "business" but don't make it feel like "business" rather time with friends !!! I would give this shop 10 stars if I could ...I can't wait to continue this journey knowing my daughters dream dress is in such capable hands ! THANK YOU BRIDAL WORLD

he is amazing she totally transformed my daughter's wedding gown. Not just once but several times. She was also extremely patient and encouraging throughout each transformation. She always said she wanted the bride to be happy. There Is no one like her. She took a strapless lace dress and added appliqués to make A dress with straps . Everyone thought the dress came like that it was done so perfectly. She also transformed the bodice. And as my daughter lost weight she constantly made adjustments for her. If you want a wonderful wedding experience this your shop. They will treat you as if this is their day

as warm and showed a genuine interest in the style/ vision I had for my wedding day. She pulled a dress and I tried it on. Immediately, I knew it was the dress for me. (I know it sounds cliche) Despite me knowing I tried on only two other dresses. Paulette was attentive and extremely knowledgeable. I decided to purchase the first dress. Eleven months after I came in for my dress fitting. We met Francois, the seamstress. Francois, like Paulette was amazing! I can't begin to explain how doting she was. She made the most amazing bustle. Francois, assisted me by dressing me the day of the wedding. People just don't do lovely things like that!  I highly recommend this place. The owner also is amazing, she ordered a dress for my mother. I was beyond satisfied by this place and know that my sister will probably get her dress from the Bridal World as well!

at I knew I wanted to go again for my wedding dress. I walked into the bridal world with no appointment and Ronnie made time for me on the spot. I found a stunning dress and Ronnie even made arrangements to order the dress in my size. I had my first fitting today and could not be more happy with the dress. Ronnie and the other ladies went above and beyond for me and I am so grateful for all their help

d accommodating. Love Angie! Can't wait to show the dresses off!

se they had "similar dresses". My appointment was at 11 am and I called no less than 5 times before arriving to confirm my appointment, and no one answered. I arrived at 10:58 and the store was dark and closed, and at 10:59 a woman arrived and asked if we had an appointment. I replied yes at 11 and she rolled her eyes and said "well its just about 11" as if I was a bother to her schedule. Upon arriving and filling out paperwork, another woman walked in in a panic because her daughter's veil was missing. It was not in the bag with the dress, and apparently there was no record of the purchase. Not only did the saleswoman completely abandon us to cater to the walk-in, but she was just as useless to help her replacing the veil. When she finally found the time to service us I told her about my encounter on the phone and showed her pictures of what I was looking for. She was very dismissive and essentially told me that they had nothing in my style at all and didn't bother to show me any dresses. This store seems to be significantly dysfunctional. The sales associates clearly don't understand what a bride is looking for, they do not keep accurate records, they do not care enough about the business to arrive before the first appointment, and they are overall rude and dismissive. Not exactly what a bride is looking for when trying to find her wedding dress. I highly recommend avoiding this vendor, there is no shortage of wedding salons in New York.

your getting married and don't know were to start I recommend The Bridal World.

ven know how she made a choice they were all so beautiful. I would recommend everyone to make it your first stop cause it'll prob be your last also. Thank you ladies for making us all feel so comfortable and happy.

out the most gorgeous dresses. Every single one I tried on was gorgeous and exactly the style I was looking for. I never felt rushed or pressured. They were all incredibly patient and stayed open past closing time so that I could find the right dress. Hannah who is the seamstress helped me visualize how she could tailor each dress to be exactly what I wanted. The selection of dresses they have a the store is incredible , the price is right and the staff is helpful, caring, honest, patient and experienced. Overall, I highly recommend this store!!

wanted and found my dress on my first visit. The seamstress, Angie, is amazing and so talented at what she does. She altered both mine and my mother's dress to be a perfect fit and made tweaks to my sister's veil for me so I could wear it as my "something borrowed." I would recommend this salon in a heartbeat and am so thankful for the wonderful service and ideal bridal experience.

al day! Thank you Ronnie!!!

my perfect dress. I felt so happy and reassured! They are so knowledgeable and helpful and answer every question you could think of. This is really a one stop shop, they have everything from gorgeous wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, accessories, etc. They have such a beautiful selection. I would recommend this store to everyone. Overall, a great experience!

ine along with my beautiful bridesmaid dresses. I will continue to recommend this store to friends and family!

pretty early, they didn't push me when I told them that I wanted to try on dresses at some other salons just to be sure. Sure enough, I was back about a week later to purchase the dress. Pauline is SUCH a sweetheart! And the seamstress, Hannah, is a magician. The dress had to be ordered in a 6, even though my top would have fit in a size 0. So Hannah worked her magic, despite the extensive lacework and beading on the top, and you could not even tell that anything had been done to the dress! She also put the bustle in for my train, and it did not rip the whole day. It was the most secure bustle I had ever seen. Well worth every penny!

eryone who works there is amazing. Their selection of bridal gowns is incredible. Every time I went in there I saw another dress I liked! I highly recommend making an appointment to go see them!

tion, I showed them what I had tried on and my mom and bridal party picked a ton of dresses for me to try on and not once did they make us feel uncomfortable. Stephanie took me out of what I was looking at and showed me different options that better fit me. I'm so happy I said yes to the dress and with my experience at Bridal World, and it's a beautiful salon. I highly recommend you going here they have a great selection.

are of us the first time we went in, and gave us their undivided attention the whole time. I went again with my mom and future mother in law, and again the service was perfection. I said YES to the dress, and Ronnie truly made me feel like a bride. I would recommend this shop to ANYONE looking for the perfect bridal store, and the perfect dress!

e was always on top of keeping me posted on the status of my dress. I come from Queens and take the train so Ronnie even said her husband could pick me up from the train for one of my fittings. I don't think I have enough characters to gush about Hannah, who was absolutely amazing and truly talented. My dress fits like a glove and even with its intricate bead work, Hannah didn't even sweat, she was an absolute master! I would definitely recommend The Bridal World from start to finish.

I cant say enough wonderful things about Hannah, the seamstress there. I went in with a specific dress in mind. I tried that one first and knew it was the one. To be 100% sure, Ronnie had me try on a few others. I appreciated that because it confirmed in my mind that the first dress was perfect in every way! I never felt rushed or ignored as I did at some other shops on Long Island. Everyone at the Bridal World was wonderful. It really was a great experience. I could not be any happier with my gown! I cant wait to wear it on October 10th! Thank you Thank you Thank you, Bridal World for making this plus size bride feel absolutely beautiful!

tone for all of our interactions with the store owner and subsequent employees. When telling the store owner that I wanted a dress that accentuates my small waist, she flat out told me "well you have a small waist because of your big butt." Not exactly the way you'd want to be treated when shopping for wedding dresses. I will say that Janine, who helped me find my dress, was incredible. She is the reason why I chose the dress I did and why I decided to buy it from this store. Unfortunately, I did not interact with her much at all afterward. The dress was ordered in a size too small and a length that was not right, even though I specifically requested long length. While their onsite seamstress was very diligent and skilled in correcting the errors, I paid almost the same amount in alterations as the dress itself. On top of that, they lost my veil after telling me it had already been delivered to the store. When I implored them to rush me a new one because I'd need it for my hair trial, they offered to give me another bride's veil to use for the trial which I'd then give back to them when it was over. I did not end up doing that because they were able to get another one in time, but the mere fact that they would use that as a business practice is absurd. If there's one thing I regret from my wedding day, its using this store as a vendor. They are not professional and made me feel as if I was a bother the entire time. I went there initially because of their low prices, but do yourself a favor and spend the extra money at a salon that will take good care of you. That is not this place.

hat PERFECT dress. Then, on a whim, we dropped in to this local bridal shop and I tried on this blush colored gown with a high neck that I never thought I would like. The bodice and middle were perfect, but I had to get rid of the high neck and make it strapless. This store said they had to order it the way it was, and then they could deconstruct the dress to remove the neck. I was willing to do it, but it made me nervous. My mom called Bridal World in Baldwin to see if they had ANOTHER dress we were considering, and when my mom told Ronnie at Bridal World the situation, she said there was no reason at all that we couldn't order the dress exactly how we wanted. I spent years watching Say Yes to the Dress and whenever a girl would order the top of one dress and the bottom of another I would think "are you INSANE?! That's crazy! You have no idea what you're getting!". But, I became that girl. And I wasn't even nervous because I just knew it would look perfect. And, it did! Ronnie was always awesome and so helpful at Bridal World. When we got to the fitting part, Dahlia the seamstress was also so great. I told her how even though I'm sure no seamstress wants to hear this, that I was going to continue to lose weight, and when did she absolutely need me to stop. She said it wasn't a problem at all, she understood, and she let me to continue to lose weight until just two weeks out. It took about five or six fittings to get everything perfect, but when all was done, the dress was perfect!

day. I went in and there was a stain on the dress. The owner at first seem to not want to take responsibility and tried blaming everyone else. The seamstress Dalia put my mind at ease because they had to call the designer and get a new one in right away. I think the owner should have done something for me with the all stress I had to go through. I was so upset. In the end I got a new dress, and Dalia (the seamstress) was a pleasure to work with. I think I should have gotten some sort of apology from the owner rather than an attitude.

just what I wanted. Lots of selections and in my budgets. Totally recommended.

s and a prior appointment was there taking up all the seats. I think the girl brought 8 people with her and was so indecisive she was still unsure of the dress after I was done and picked mine out. The dresses though are great. Really beautiful selection and reasonable prices. The staff there however seems spread too thin and seemed quite irritated while helping me try on dresses. That being said I did find a dress I loved. Once the dress came in there were many fitting issues that I didn't love and the seamstress Dahlia fixed them and made the dress look amazing. If I had to buy a dress again I would go there just because of her work!

alue and the dress tailor is excellent, my dress fit perfectly.

per friendly and is willing to work with you on price, I found my dream dress at a steal ! The seamstress was located at the same location. She was super nice and thrived to keep me happy every time I visited. She did an amazing job and kept me laughing the whole time. I strongly reccomend EVERY bride come here !

y I tried on only 5 dresses in total and the 3rd dress was the dress. Yes I was just making sure with the last two that I tried on. It was important that i did NOT get a trendy gown! I wanted something that I could pass down from generation to generation. And she got it perfectly. Janine is such a sweet women! the Pricing on the gown was not bad either.

e they will tell you what looks good and what doesn't. I was able to purchase a fit and flare gown that came out perfect, with alterations, as my reception gown. I also purchased my tiara from here as they had some of the best selection of several stores I went to. Service at BW is above average although Charnelle was absolutely the best.

an at RK. I didn't go with RK because I had a horrible experience when I went there and I refused to spend my money there, or send my girls there. The owner of BW was the sweetest person. But Janiene the sales associate that helped me with my dress, was FANTASTIC. She was extremely knowledgeable about, gowns, styles, and weddings. She helped me with my dress, and picked all the other dresses to help compliment my gown. The only issue I had was with the seamstress. I wanted to add beading to my gown and she did some of the work, but did not finish. I am thankful that sh saved my dress because the store and here house flooded due to hurricane Sandy, but she had my dress for months and the bead work that I wanted was not done. The dress fit me PERFECTLY, thanks to her, but I was a little heartbroken,when my dress was not the way I imagined it. I sucked it up and walked down the aisle anyway. I received tons of complements about my gown, and just kept saying to myself, imagine if it was all the was finished (the way I imagined). This lace was awesome nonetheless, minus that major misunderstanding.

gela the seamstress who is in Bridal World in Baldwin only on Thursday. She molded the dress to my frame and I was extremely comfortable all night. The place is small, but it has so many options of dresses, that the size doesn't make a difference. They can also order your dress if you order at least 4 -6 months before your big day, alterations were paid separately directly to Angela and are usually about $350. I highly recommend seeing Jeanne specifically. Also, do go only to Angela for alterations.

wever when I went back for my fitting there were a few unhappy customers and the owner Ronnie refused to deal with them. She made her staff tell them she wasn't there. It was a very uncomfortable situation to sit and watch and was not handled professionally. We also had our alterations done there. You really have to watch Dailia. She did a great job but forgot to fix a hole in my seam and finally when we went to pick up the dress she fixed it while I waited. On the wedding day one of my bridesmaids put on her dress to find out the pin was still in the strap. She never took it in. Would I recommend them eh not the worst but not the best.

out the way it should have either. I would not recommend this vendor

what I wanted, and found the perfect gown for me. I picked a top 3, then came back at another time with my mom to choose my gown. Their prices are great. I had my dress altered there by Dahlia, and she was such a sweetheart. She made me gown absolutely perfect and everyone raved about how the dress looked like it was made for my body. I would highly recommend them for the purchase of bridal gowns.

to try on her favorite dress which was out, and I said no. After trying a few others, Sheri asked me to try on one of the dresses I held as a maybe, and if I can try on her favorite dress. Reluctantly, I said yes. When I put that dress on, a strange feeling came over me, and as I came out of the fitting room, my mother and soon to be mother-in-law both cried. They immediately said that THIS is the dress. When my dress came it months later, it was better than expected. We had made some changes to the dress and Bridal World got it right. Dalia, the seamstress there made me look and feel like a princess. She did alot of work on the dress as I made an A line a trumpet. In the end, it fit like a glove! I want to thank the Bridal World for help making my wedding perfect!

really make it happen in a way the reflects you. My dress is GORGEOUS!!! I was beautiful on my day and a HUGE part of that is because I felt beautiful thanks to Dahlia. So ask for Dahlia... She can make it happen:) PS: They have beautiful gowns that are not too expensive. I think they work with any budget.

kes all the stress away!! If you are looking for a dress definitely stop by here. It's worth your trip

and they had never ordered my bustier so I had to settle on another one. Definitely not the kind of stress you want the day before your wedding. They are great though! Just double check. They are humans with lots of stuff on their brains.

d (Allure was on top of my list)and looked in the Bridal Magazines for the nearest wholesaler locations.;For me, it was very far and very hard to get to (not a convenient location) but so worth the quality and price of my wedding gown and the quality service I received. The only other thing is that since they are not a retailer, there is an independent tailor that works at this salon for very few hours only a couple times a weeks. This made it even more inconvenient for me. Also, the French Bustle that I had requested the tailor to fix and had went to the salon additional times just for this reason, did not bustle as it should on the big Wedding Day at the reception. Instead, many of the pulls (used for the French Bustle) that had been numbered in pencil had either ripped off or the mark had smudged or worn out completely. I think the tailor could've done a better job in keeping the pulls from hanging on the floor since they are inside the bottom of my wedding dress. Also, the numbers on the pulls should have been some other permanent marks.

for five hours and never again! (i wasn't a sentimental bride)
