The Frock provided the BEST overall wedding shopping experience. The entire appointment is catered to the bride (the store is closed for just you!), Madison is so helpful and kind, the dresses range from unique to classic and are customizable (...
Madison is great about knowing her designers well), and the list of positives could go on. Communication with Madison is easy and prompt and her knowledge of the wedding industry is very helpful- I would recommend The Frock to anyone and everyone! The best!!!

Shopping at The Frock was wonderful! It was a really nice low-key atmosphere while still feeling special. The privacy of having the shop to myself and my group was awesome, and there was no pressure to buy. It made me much more confident that p...
urchasing from The Frock was the correct choice! Plus it feels so much more special knowing that my dress is made by a small designer, and is supporting local business.

My stylist was Madison who is also the owner of The Frock. I chose The Frock because, unlike other salons in the area, Madison's appointment form asked key inclusive questions that made me feel comfortable and confident shopping with her as a q...
ueer bride. For the appointment, she created a relaxing and cozy environment for both myself and my guests. It must've been fate as her softly playing music included some of the songs I've been listening to on repeat! She was also a pro at handling my grandmother who's hard to please and *thinks* she knows best. Overall I highly recommend The Frock for a wonderful low hassle, inclusive, and sustainable experience!

The Frock does private appointments so you get the whole shop to yourself. I went to my appointment solo and was able to look through the dresses at my own pace (your first appointment is 2 hours so you don't have to feel rushed). The shop is g...
orgeously decorated and you feel comfortable, like you're at a friend's house, instantly. Y'all the dresses in there are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. She has an amazing selection from independent designers that give you excellent options for a unique dress without having to dive head-first into bold, trendy styles. One of my runner-up choices was an A-line spaghetti strap dress but the fabric the designer used was simply magical. Honestly, I'm sad that I will only get to pick one dress from this shop. If you're getting married, I highly recommend starting your dress shopping here!
