The Curvy Bride

ver, the Curvy Bride provided a comfortable environment for me to try on wedding dresses. They only have a couple of brides in the shop at a time, so the employees are very attentive, and all had such an encouraging attitude. They had a beautiful selection of dresses, and I picked out my dress on my first visit! I was so happy with my shopping experience that I utilized their alternations services as well. I highly recommend shopping at the Curvy Bride for your wedding dress!

single appointment. Both of us are in the 24-28 range and the experience of having a lot of choice in dresses that fit us was so affirming. Thank you!!

was so nervous about whether any wedding dress would look good on my curvy body, but Michelle, Pervin, and the entire staff immediately put me at ease. They made me feel so comfortable and confident, and with their guidance, I found the perfect dress that made me feel like a princess. The compliments on my dress were endless, and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. I can’t stop raving about how incredible The Curvy Bride is, and I will recommend them to everyone I know!

when I initially walked into the store I was so nervous about any wedding dress looking good on my curvy body. I found my dress on my second visit! My dress was absolutely stunning, and everyone complimented me on my wedding day! I loved that they have fans for us sweaty brides in their dressing rooms and that they basically carry a bunch of the dresses Castle Couture has just in sizes that fit curvier ladies!! If you are a street size 8 or above, I highly recommend going to The Curvy Bride for your wedding dress!

especially being plus size and having a large chest – The Curvy Bride made me feel so much better and confident. From the moment I walked in, I got an awesome, positive vibe from everyone there. Crazy as it may sound, the wedding dress was the last thing I got for my wedding and I was very last minute with it, mostly because I was nervous to try dresses on. I came with a booklet of different types of dresses, and they ran with it, pulling every type of dress I had in there. I only tried on 6 dresses, fell in love with the 2nd one I tried on but felt like I had to at least try the others she pulled – for everyone including myself to be absolutely sure. Once I had that one on again, I knew it was the one, they knew it was the one, my mom knew it was the one & I was on cloud 9! It was off the rack and they gave a very doable timeline for fittings and everything before my wedding which I truly appreciated being so last minute. The seamstress was a miracle worker and sweet to boot. My last fitting was bittersweet, I was so happy with everything and the whole experience but also sad I wouldn’t be seeing these lovely ladies again. I gave them a treat tray and hugs! I recommend them to everyone, big or small, because they are just the absolute best! Love my Essence of Australia dress, love The Curvy Bride!

and even had them do the alterations. I didn’t mind going back to visit them and would do it all over again.

s size bride that is no always the case. You get individualized attention, which really was a plus in my opinion. The first dress I tried on ended up being the dress I bought, but I tried others on just to make sure. Purchasing was very simple so we’re alterations. I used one of the ladies from the store to do alterations and I could not have been happier. Such a wonderful experience

wn dresses in my price range and there was no hard push for a sale. We ordered my dress and a couple extra bottles for some changes I wanted to do to the sleeve as well as my veil. Everything came in timely, and I did my alterations through them as well. Overall, an excellent experience!

de the trip to try on dresses and found my dress!

to imagine what dresses would look like on me when I got the right size, but since they cater exclusively to plus-sized brides it was just a matter of finding a dress that felt like me. Every visit was phenomenal, and I felt so beautiful in my dress. I can’t recommend this place enough to plus-size brides. 1000+/10

found the perfect dress. I had my alterations done with Kristina there, also. She was so amazing and detailed. I can’t say how good she made me feel and the beautiful Joe she did on the alterations. My mom had her dress altered by Kristina, too, and it also was perfect. I can’t say enough positive things about the store.

r. I said yes to the dress here and it was absolutely stunning, beyond my wildest dreams! Lydia worked as my seamstress to alter my dress to me and she made it absolutely perfect. This is a beautiful bridal salon and the staff is so kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. 10/10!

oment we had our trials and then when I choose the dress, and added personalized alterations to my dress. It was so easy to feel beautiful and comfortable in this boutique. Not to mention when it came to customizing my dress, I had Christina as my seamstress and she was amazing. She brought my visions to life and made every one of our appointments so enjoyable.

black, and a white one. My mom and my 3 girls were all in agreement that white isn't my color and I don't look right in it lol My bridal consultant, bless her heart, was a doll and I wish I brought cash with me to tip her more than I could have then I did on my card. As my air head didn't think before I got there. I fell in love with the black sparkly dress with the peasant sleeves. As I wore it and held myself I knew that dress was meant to be mine, and the cathedral veil just made it all that more dramatic and lovely.

r to pick it up. I purchased a veil and headpiece (headband) from the shop and was so pleased with the custom service. I ended up going to a seamstress closer to my home but knew their services were available if needed.

range and helped me pull different styles because I was unsure of the type of dress I was looking for. I ended up finding my actual size with a sample dress and was able to walk out that next day when I came back for the dress to purchase it. I felt no pressure to buy the dress and the staff were extremely friendly and professional. Being a plus size bride I was having insecurities during the wedding dress shopping process, but at the Curvy Bride I really appreciated everyone being so encouraging and supportive!

hat a wonderful environment they have created here. They made me feel comfortable, special, and confident. Each member of the staff that I met that day was patient and understanding. I never felt pressured to try on certain styles or even to make a purchase. I was listened to and made comfortable in a setting that could easily become overwhelming, especially for a plus-sized body. And on top of all of these amazing qualities, they have a gorgeous range of dresses in every silhouette or material you could want. I truly wish I could give this place an even higher rating! I will recommend this to every bride I come across in the future. I can’t wait to return for my fittings and to continue working with such a wonderful staff. Thank you for everything!

stopped in to tell me how beautiful each dress looked on me. I truly felt like I was a bride. Dayna was my stylist and I could not recommend her enough. She listened to me the entire appointment, reassured me when needed, and in the end took my favorite things from each dress and found me my perfect dress, with everything I loved in the other dresses. It felt like this dress she pulled was made for me. I cannot say enough phenomenal things about my experience and I would recommend The Curvy Bride and Dayna to any plus size bride!!! Thank you to The Curvy Bride team!!!

be difficult so the thought of wedding dress shopping was horrifying to me. I went to another shop and accepted my fate of simply getting whatever fit. I was excited when my soon to be wife told me about The curvy bride and made an appointment as soon as I could. From the moment I entered the boutique I felt welcome and confident. I told them my vision and LITERALLY the first dress the stylist picked embodied everything I wanted. Not only is their selection GORGEOUS but the women of Curvy Bride are truly doing an amazing thing by starting this company that makes bridal wear accessible to those who are not a size 2. I will never stop being grateful for my wedding dress experience and I have never felt more beautiful than the day of my wedding.

set aside for our appointment. Dayna was my bridal consultant, and she was such a spark of joy. Spending time with her was like being with an old friend! She was a great listener and it only took a few dresses for me to find the one! I was able to buy it off the rack and take it home with me, making it such an easy and enjoyable experience. The dress was super flattering, beautiful, and simple, just what I wanted. My friends loved Dayna and her personality was truly a joy! Highly recommend Dayna and this fantastic shop, thank you for everything!

ere so many dresses to choose from, and they did not pressure you at all, but I found the one on my first visit. I had gone to one other shop previously to narrow down the styles I liked, and it did not compare. I would not have found my perfect dress if it were not for them, after I gave some feedback about what I loved and didn’t like, they brought out THE dress. I fell in love. Their customer service is truly unmatched.

le I've ever met. I was able to try on about 6 gowns of a similar style to what I wanted. I ended up not buying that day, and was not pressured or treated differently! I scheduled 2 weeks later and upon arrival was shown a brand new dress to the store. I figured, why not try it, right?? Turns out, it was my dream dress after all. I couldn't take it off in the store and luckily was able to buy off rack. The selection is insane, even for very extended sizes, such as myself. I never felt uncomfortable or unwelcome, and truly loved the experience! All the women at the shop clapped and applauded when I said yes to the dress, which was so meaningful since some staff didn't even know me at all. I felt like an absolute princess in my dress on my wedding day. I even traveled 1.5 hours to get there - and it was worth it!!

is was the 1st and only bridal store I visited. They fit all budgets and I felt absolutely AMAZING in my dress. The staff of absolutely amazing ! If they sold other dresses besides bridal I would always shop here ! Love The Curvy Bride !!!

as well. They refused to switch to another dress or refund any money. I get that they say all sales final but they werent losing a sale for a more expensive dress and I know for a fact it is not the manufaturer's policy. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE BRIDE'S BEST INTEREST AT HEART. SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER THE DRESS SHE PICKED DID NOT SUIT HER BODY TYPE AND SHOWN HER MORE THAN 6 DRESSES!!!!

myself for a limited selection and assumed I wouldn't be able to try anything on in my size. My expectations could not have been further from my reality. I not only had multiple options of beautiful dresses, but I was able to try them on in my size! Michelle heard what I was looking for and found several contenders right off the bat, and included a few more based on what I shared she thought I would like. Many places try and upsell you on gowns and accessories, however I had the opposite experience. After trying on half a dozen dresses, any of which I would have been happy with, Michelle brought one out from off the rack that she thought met all my parameters, and she was right. Her suggestion was hundreds of dollars less than what I had been trying on, but was the perfect dress for me. I appreciated her putting my happiness above the profit margin. She and Purvin were pleasant, helpful, and so accommodating. It was such a refreshing and rare experience to have so many viable options, to not feel embarrassed that nothing fit, or to have only limited options; I got to feel like a bride and not the fat girl!

periences even came close to how I was treated during my appointment with MaryAnn. She was so friendly, listened to what I want, didn't force me to "just try it!" when I didn't want to, but was also able to suggest some styles for me that I hadn't thought of before. She was never, ever, pushy and I never felt rushed into making a decision. I purchased a gown that I knew I liked (I had tried it on at one of the previous appointments at another shop), and MaryAnn saved it for last because I had indicated that it was my favorite. When my mom cried I knew that it was perfect. I bought my dress during a trunk show and got 15% off the total cost, which is due in full at the time of purchase. From there, all communication and appointments were set up with ease. I also did alterations with their seamstress, Lydia, who was fantastic. Truly I loved my experience with everyone there and I can't recommend them enough. If you don't fit into the typical body type and want to feel confident, take the trip to see the lovely stylists at The Curvy Bride! My drive was over an hour one way and it was worth every minute. THANK YOU! <3

adelphia area, so we needed to be sure there would be a large and beautiful selection. We won't disappointed. We were supported by all of the staff there that day. Maryann led us to the samples, looking at two sizes. She chose three, I chose one and my daughter chose the last one. You have your own private room where Maryann assisted as much as my daughter allowed. First dress - LIKED, second dress NO, third dress - OK. I followed my daughters lead every time, but thank goodness we did agree. Fourth dress, she said, "Oh I like this". I said, the same. She said, "I like this a lot", I said the same. In front of full mirror she said, "Oh I think this is it". I said, "I do too, it's a beautiful dress, it's exactly what you wanted and you look beautiful". It was so emotional and I was so relieved, I didn't cry. I did turn to the fifth dress on the hanger and asked her, "Are you sure, because you can try this on". No this is the dress ! We were just so happy. Maryann quick grabbed the "Say Yes To The Dress" sign, everyone in the shop including another client clapped and asked the question. It was such a lovely moment for us. We took the dress home that day and had it altered by local shop. My daughter was beautiful on her wedding day! Everyone commented on the gown because it was special and you could tell how happy she was wearing it. It was a fairy tale dress for a fairy tale setting. Thank you Ladies of Curvy Bride.

nd the owner, Michelle, called me back on a day that the salon isn't even open. I also had to call the day of my second appointment and Pervin answered "Hey Nicole!" immediately as if I was calling a friend. So personal, great customer service. We worked with Maria, Pervin, and Michelle between our two appointments. All three of them are lovely and every single second from when we walked in the door until leaving the building we felt and were treated like beautiful women. They are so body positive and had not one negative thing to say about any of the dresses my fiance and I tried on. We were looking for two dresses and arrived a little early for the appointment. I called to see if we could come in a half hour early and we were welcomed right in. The appointment lasted two and a half hours (way longer than the scheduled time) and I did not feel rushed at all. Michelle kept picking out dresses for me to try on because I was so undecided on what I truly wanted. There were sleeves I loved from one dress and wanted to add them to another, and Pervin called the dress maker and they were able to sell the sleeves separately if I wanted them! Above and beyond all expectations. Their dress selection is amazing and the dresses are all in sizes that you can't find at most bridal shops. I had previously gone to another bridal salon and had a terrible experience because all of the dresses were too small. Not at The Curvy Bride! Even if a dress wasn't our size, Michelle used her clips and tucked everything in to make it feel like and look like it fit. On top of all of that, you have the entire salon to yourself during your appointment, so you have the full attention of the staff and a personalized experience that is so hard to find! No trying on dresses next to a size 0 or not having enough seats for your entourage. Plenty of space and seating for everyone to enjoy the experience with you! A friend we brought with us is a type 1 diabetic. Her sugar was getting low and Michelle offered her a snack to help get her sugar back up. We truly felt that even though we walked in as strangers, we left as friends! I HIGHLY recommend checking out The Curvy Bride. I can't say enough good things about our experience. It's so hard to find clothing as a plus size person and not many stores do it right. The Curvy Bride does it right!

did not have any vision as to what dress I wanted. MaryAnn was soo patient and intuitive. She knew with each dress what direction to take the next one in. She eventually found me my dream dress that was completely in my budget and out of my comfort zone. It was a dress I was not expecting to fall in love with, but with MaryAnn's guidance I found my dream dress. Everyone in the store was such a cheerleader. I really enjoyed my shopping experience with them!

thing in general being as busty as we are. Finding things that fit are hard and I never wanted to feel upset that they didn't have my size to try on, especially when it is such an important and expensive purchase. Going to The Curvy Bride I got to feel good about myself trying on dresses. The women there made me feel special and understood how important that was. If I hadn't found them I know it would have not been even half as good an experience for me. So thank you so much.

urvy Bride on Facebook, I knew I had to schedule an appointment. Michelle made me feel like such a beautiful bride and for once, I didn’t feel “plus size”, I just felt like a bride. Such an amazing place!!

severely limited since most stores don't carry a wide selection of plus size samples? Was I going to be limited to a single style gown? I found The Curvy Bride through WeddingWire and how happy am I that I stumbled upon them. I made the over 1 hour trip to and back from them countless times (finding my gown, picking it up, ordering my veil, 2 fittings and then final pick up) and I'd do it all over again if I had to. The owner was so nice, friendly and flexible. The girls out front were always happy and personable. Their seamstress, Lydia, is a complete miracle worker. After I ordered my gown I ended up loosing some weight, not a ton, but definitely enough to make a difference in my gown.. and she took it in all over the place and hid the seams flawlessly. An amazing shop and an exceptional team

SO friendly and they truly made me feel beautiful on my special day! I received so many compliments on my dress! They also put a ton of work into it, they added sleeves and added extra lace from my dress to said sleeves-- it came out flawless! you couldn't even tell they weren't a part of the original dress! They also helped alter my mother's veil which I wore for my wedding. All around great service and I totally recommend them!!

happy with my experience at The Curvy Bride with their inclusive sizes and wide variety of dresses. Plus they carried Essence of Australia, which was a brand I had followed for years and not too many NJ stores carry it. I fell in love with my gown, and couldn’t have dreamed of a better dress for me. It’s funny because I went in with the mindset I wanted long sleeves A-line, and walked out with a strapless ballgown. But it was just perfect. I did all my alterations through the store as well, and she was amazing as well. Could not recommend any more.

t, friendly and extremely helpful. Our personal associate took the time to ask questions, give advice and suggestions, and offer solutions which went way above and beyond what is normally expected at a bridal salon. The patience and kindness which was shown to us at The Curvy Bride confirmed that we made the right decision when we chose this shop to purchase a bridal gown. Both Pervin and Mary Ann researched designers and availability for us in order to help us make our selection. I can say for certain that they put in extra hours trying to locate the perfect dress for my daughter, which was a combination of several different styles and features that she had tried on. It goes without saying that she was extremely happy with the final result, and we are grateful for all of the extra effort that was put forth on her behalf. The Curvy Bride works hard to ensure that their customers are satisfied. Currently, we are looking forward to the actual wedding day!

ore. They have a beautiful selection! I recently had my wedding on September 10, 2021 after being rescheduled due to Covid! And I couldn’t be any happier with my selection! After losing an extensive amount of way to the medical issues it meant the world to me to feel like a princess and have my dream wedding! Hands-down The best wedding wedding shop in the state of New Jersey! Thank you curvy bride for making me feel beautiful.

an to dread looking for a dress. Years of seeing smaller brides on shows like say yes to the dress paired with my high anxiety left me nervously anticipating not being able to fit into any dresses in the shops, having to clip one on top of my clothes and not actually knowing what it would look like, and having to go to the dark, back corner to see the five plus size dresses most stores carry. Needless to say, The Curvy Bride blew me away. When you arrive you are greeted by the sweetest team of women who immediately make you feel beautiful, valued, and like family. As if it could get any better, I could fit ANY DRESS in the store! They carry their samples in plus sizes so any bride can have that magical wedding dress moment! They also can order for dresses who aren't plus size when you fall in love with one of their gorgeous gowns! The spaces where you try on dresses is closed off so you are the only one in the space which makes you feel even more comfortable. The angel on earth that is Pervin listened to everything I wanted in a dress and helped me find multiple different styles to try on. Even better, there was a sample sale going on at the time and the very first dress I tried on was the dress of my dreams and I took it home that night! The women at this store - staff and customers alike - are like your own team of hypewomen. We would run into other brides in the parking lot and it felt like we were one big family. I still can't believe how easy and actually enjoyable this process was! I came back multiple times to have my dress fitted after this and we didn't even mind driving one hour each way because these ladies are worth it! Make The Curvy Bride your first and last stop for the wedding dress of your dreams!

rtant purchase ever. As soon as I walked into the shop my mother and I were greeted with huge smiles and we were treated well from the start. My consultant MaryAnn did anything and everything to make sure I was comfortable and let me try on everything I wanted. Thank you MaryAnn and The Curvy Bride staff for making dress shopping such a special experience!

I wanted and they were all beautiful. I did my alterations with Lydia who was the sweetest! I had lost a lot of weight after buying my dress and it all still worked out perfectly. The staff at this store is unlike any other dress shop I've been to. They are all the SWEETEST! Definitely check The Curvy Bride out!

, and encouraging - like my own personal cheerleaders! I ended up walking out with the first dress I tried on and was able to take that sample with me - it was an impeccably beautiful Stella York. I could not recommend the overall experience anymore! Can’t wait to see you ladies again in March for my first fitting!

he Curvy Bride, I was amazed at how many I could try on that not only fit, but looked so good on me! I felt so confident and so happy that I found my dress here. I just got married this past weekend on May 22, 2021, and I'm just in love with my dress. I will definitely be sharing pictures when I get them back from my photographer. Thank you again Curvy bride. Nicest staff working here too!!!

nd me my DREAM dress almost immediately! I had to come back for a few fittings and alterations, but their seamstress helped me add a few details to customize the dress to my comfort and style. The end result was a breathtaking, perfectly fitted wedding gown that had my groom and guests in complete awe. They are the BEST bridal salon!!!

se. Alterations went smoothly and Lydia is a darling woman that goes above and beyond. Would recommend this place to any bride!

inventory like in other shops. The staff was excellent. They are all fantastic.
