If you are not a high maintenance bride and want a low key, relaxing wedding dress shopping experience, The Sentimentalist is the place you want to choose. Each employee clearly loves what they do and are more than happy to help you see if your dream dress is in their store. They will go above and beyond to make sure that you feel and look comfortable and are ecstatic with your dress choice. They helped me find (and customize!) the dream dress that I did not know I wanted. I can't recommend them enough!

Thank you so much, Emma!! You created the coolest wedding dress. We are so grateful you chose to shop with us and then trusted us with this amazing customization. Thanks for the review!
The Sentimentalist was unlike any other wedding dress shopping I have ever experienced! Gabi personally showed me around, navigated the million personalities there, and led me to the most beautiful dress. I truly felt like a princess and then in turn felt so comfortable on my wedding day. The shopping experience was so inviting and made me feel at home - I went with the option to shop the whole store by setting my appointment and having that credit go towards my dress, because I just knew based off the dresses I was seeing in their inventory that I would find my dress there one million percent. I wish I could take every bride here - everyone deserves an experience this wonderful and hassle free!

Caitlin! This is such a special review ;) You were so wonderful to work with and make such a stunning bride. Your Concierge appointment was the perfect thing and we are so grateful you had the experience you deserve ;) All the best forever and ...
ever in love!
I live in Florida and actually came up to Atlanta because two of the dresses I wanted to try on were in the city, one at the Sentimentalist. I'm so glad I made the trip and that this was the place where I got my dress. I went to three Atlanta bridal boutiques and this was easily the most professional, beautiful, and friendly. You can definitely get a classic white wedding gown here, but this is definitely the place to go if you want something unique. They are also friendly to all body types! I had fallen in love with Carol Hannah's Oceane gown but wanted some changes made to make it my own, and they made it happen, and also were quick to respond when I had a tailoring crisis with my dress (long after I bought it!) Can't recommend them highly enough.

We are SO glad you traveled this way to find your dress ;) You were so lovely to work with and your dress vision is unmatched! Thanks for the sweet reviews - they mean so very much to us. ALL the love to you and yours XOXO
Any questions?
I found my dress at the Sentamentalist and they were great! They have a great selection of traditional and unique dresses, were respectful of my budget (which was on the lower end of their range) and the environment is nice/special while still feeling laid back. I had heard great things about them and they lived up to the reputation.
Response from the Vendor on 02/23/2024
Thanks Kristen! We are so proud to live up to your expectations. Every bride deserves a magical moment, regardless of price point ;) We appreciate your kind review!
I could not recommend The Sentimentalist more. It is beautiful inside making for a truly special dress shopping experience. Most importantly, their positive and inclusive environment made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. I moved before my dress was ready and arranging shipping with them could not have been easier. This was the bridal shopping experience of my dreams.
Response from the Vendor on 01/27/2024
Thanks Erin! You deserve the experience of your dreams and we are so grateful to be the ones to provide ;) All the best!
My wedding dress shopping experience was top tier. I had an amazing time trying on various dresses as The Sentimentalist Team is full of humans who love weddings and helping brides find their dream dress. There were many beautiful dresses and accessories that you cannot find at just any bridal shop. I LOVED my dress and it was perfect for my October 2023 wedding at Lanier Islands. 10/10, definitely recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 01/13/2024
Thank you thank you Stephanie! And congrats on a beautiful wedding! We appreciate your love and your kind words. Happy Married and all the best in 2024!
I cannot say enough about my experience at The Sentimentalist! It was amazing. From dress shopping to pick up to finding accessories, everyone I worked with was so great, professional, kind and easy to communicate with, especially Hannah O. and Hannah G. Dress shopping can be a lot, but I was in good, calm hands the whole time and was led to my perfect dress in the smoothest way. I also found my veil and earrings at The Sentimentalist which were the perfect final touches for my wedding day look. I will be recommending The Sentimentalist over and over again. 🤗
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2023
Kaley, you are so kind to share your experience and these incredible photos! You were a stunning bride and so much fun to work with. Thank you thank you and all the best!
I was no nervous and anxious going into wedding dress shopping. However, after walking into The Sentimentalist and meeting Hannah G. those feelings immediately disappeared! I very quickly felt comfortable and excited to shop! Hannah G. spent time talking through my venue vibes and what I initially thought I'd like. She was super helpful in helping guide me around the store and picking out styles and dresses to try on. Throughout the process she was so helpful in giving advice about the shopping process and made me feel so comfortable. I found a dress I really liked that was missing one thing I knew I really wanted in a dress - sleeves. She was amazing and helped come up with an awesome solution and I ended up saying yes to the dress!! Not to mention the vibes at the shop are 10/10! Shoutout to Lauren as well who was so helpful and kind! I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who is wedding dress shopping!
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2023
Alex!! Thank you so so much for your thoughtful review ;) Hannah G is a gem and you were a pleasure to work with. We are all about the good vibes here so we love that you felt comfortable and encouraged. Thanks for spreading the word! XOXO
I absolutely loved my experience at The Sentimentalist! The store is beautiful and my stylist Hannah helped me find my dream dress! Since I was having trouble finding a dress at other stores, I went in with an open mind and asked Hannah to pick some she thought would fit my style and aesthetic. She made me feel comfortable and confident, like every bride should! I highly recommend going to this boutique. They also have amazing vintage dresses and a ton of gorgeous accessories.
Response from the Vendor on 09/23/2023
Thank you thank you Juliet!!! You deserve to feel comfortable and confident during every step of your wedding planning. We are so happy we could assist and so grateful for the kind review.
The absolute best. From the feeling of the space when you walk in, the interactions you have with the stylists/employees, to the selection of dresses and accessories. I felt unsure what I was doing and Hannah took me through the whole process so professionally and fun! I found my dress and accessories by the end of my appointment. Having a space where you trust the folks running it makes, what could be a stressful process, so much fun and reassuring. Thank you for sharing your space!
Response from the Vendor on 08/22/2023
Candace! thank YOU for caring for our space the way we do ;) It means so much to us that you see our intention and we're honored to have you as a guest and bride. All our love ;)
I cannot say enough good things about The Sentimentalist. I had a feeling that this was the only dress shopping appointment I needed to make, and thanks to the incredible selection of gowns, wonderful staff, and white-glove experience in the shop, I was right! Hannah was a true joy to get to work with. She understood my style and what I was looking for even better than I did, and she had the most peaceful, lighthearted presence. I will ALWAYS tell my friends that they have to go dress shopping at The Sentimentalist!
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2023
Natalie! You are so kind ;) And your review is so informative! We love what we do and we love to spread to good news - bridal can be better!! Thanks again for all your sweet words and big congrats on your big day XO
Cailan was amazing and really helped make my experience as smooth & enjoyable as possible! Together we found the perfect dress & overskirt combination to wear on my big day :) The entire store & experience is so aesthetically pleasing - highly recommend it to any bride!
Response from the Vendor on 06/12/2023
Thanks Sam!! We love to hear it ;) Your look is epic and we so appreciate your creativity and kindness.
I cannot say enough amazing things about this place! First of all, I went to 3 other bridal appointments and I have to say that no other stylist even came close to as amazing as Cailan. They were all super sweet, but none of them listened to what I wanted and also just knew the designers well enough to tell me what would look best for my body type (I'm a busty girl with a very short torso). Her knowledge of the designers made ALL the difference, which makes sense because they only work with a handful of designers so they truly know their products. There were a lot of options, but it was so much less overwhelming than some other shops that just have racks and racks of dresses to rummage through where everything is so shoved together you struggle just to see what the dress looks like. The environment is comfortable, clean, and relaxing. Everything from the greeting to the checkout process was absolutely perfect. I tried on a few dresses I really liked, but ended up matching a top and bottom I loved to make my own style. Getting to custom pick my own dress that will be handmade and not mass produced for a quarter of the price some of the previous dresses I looked at is just absolutely mind blowing to me. Cailan started by asking me a price range I wanted to stay in and stayed true to only showing me dresses within that range. I started looking at one designer that was on the higher end and she immediately stopped and redirected me but said we could come back if we didn't find anything else. Seriously, this woman is a such a dream (as I'm sure all the stylists here are, but obviously I'm a bit biased). Thank you to this entire staff I met (especially Cailan) for making my dreams come true for my perfect wedding dress! I've already told my other engaged friends to make appointments!
Response from the Vendor on 06/01/2023
Abigail! You have made our week ;) This review is everything. We are so grateful that you shopped with us and saw our heart in the process! Cailan is so special. Thank you thank you for loving her as much as we do! XO
I am so glad I went in to The Sentimentalist! I had the best experience and ended up finding my wedding dress here - I highly highly recommend them if you're looking in Atlanta! The staff were so incredibly friendly and welcoming and I felt zero pressure throughout the appointment.
Response from the Vendor on 05/24/2023
Love to hear this, Katie! All are welcome here and friendly zero pressure fun is what we're all about ;) Thanks for investing in the place you most enjoyed so that others can enjoy it after you! xoxo
I had a wonderful experience at The Sentimentalist! They had an amazing selection of unique but timeless dresses, their staff was incredibly helpful, and the store has such a cozy and inviting atmosphere. I ended up buying Anais Anette's Ella gown and I adored wearing it. This was my favorite shop out of the many I tried in Atlanta and beyond!
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2023
These pics are incredible, Lexi! Thank you for sharing and for your kind words ;) We wish you all the bestest best ;)
The Sentimentalist was the perfect place to find my wedding dress! I felt empowered and listened to throughout the dress selection process, and I felt even more beautiful on my big day. After I picked up my dress, they went above and beyond in answering questions about undergarments, makeup recommendations, and more. I can't imagine buying my dress from anyplace else!
Response from the Vendor on 04/08/2023
Love this Rebecca! Thank you for trusting us during every part of your dress shopping and styling process. It's so fun to work with brides who trust us to do our thing. You were such a pleasure and we wish you ALL the best. XOXO
I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience at the Sentimentalist in finding the most dreamy dress for my wedding back in January. Both Gigi and Hannah were angels for all their support and help to find the most amazing gown. I had the best time with the whole team there. I’ve gotten so many compliments, and my friends and family that came with me to the shop are always talking about how much they loved our visits. The sentimentalist is such a special spot!
Response from the Vendor on 04/08/2023
Thank you thank you Sara! We loved working with you and so appreciate the kind words. Our brides make us special :)
This was the best experience I could ever imagine! I'm a slightly older bride and have never tried on dresses before. I was so nervous about what to expect, and Hannah, the sales manager, was absolutely wonderful and delightful to work with. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. She was quickly able to assess my style and provide a variety of options in my price range. I loved all of them and selected my dress during my first visit. I also met with the owner Krista. She was fantastic. The shop is beautiful, and the dresses are all gorgeous! The whole experience made me feel so special!
Response from the Vendor on 03/21/2023
Cindi!! Thank you so much for trusting us with your shopping experience. You deserve all the joy and beauty and we are so grateful to dress you. Thanks for spreading the word and being such a cool sentimental bride!
I can't say enough great things about my experience at The Sentimentalist! I was so nervous to try on dresses, but Hannah and the team made me instantly feel at home and confident. I went in thinking I was just going to look, but fell in love with a dress after just a few try-ons. I got the dress of my dreams and it was an all around perfect shopping experience! I couldn't recommend them more!
Response from the Vendor on 03/17/2023
Love to hear it, Katie!! We are so happy you came to browse but found the one! And we are so grateful to hear about your experience. Thanks for sharing the good word ;)
I wanted to try on wedding dresses from a specific designer, which is how I initially found The Sentimentalist. I am so glad I did! Hannah and her team were so helpful - including when I had to do a virtual measurement session before placing my final order, after I had emergency knee surgery! My dress arrived on time (actually a few days early)! Cannot recommend them enough!
Response from the Vendor on 01/20/2023
Annie we are so glad you found us too!! Thank you for working with Hannah and the crew and trusting us with something so special. Happy Married and thanks for leaving a review!
Run don't walk to The Sentimentalist! No bridal salon made me feel they way they did. Hannah was our consultant. With just one trip around the racks and a few easy questions, she picked up on my style immediately (way better than even I know my style). The dress selection has a wide range (classic dresses, modern, bohemian, etc etc), but yet all so beautiful. More importantly-- everyone there was so kind and accommodating. The atmosphere is carefully curated and I really appreciate that. My guests and I had such a great time at the salon. After ordering my dream dress, there was a snafu-- the designer discontinued without alerting the salons to pull it from the floor, so they could not make my dress. I thought this would be a nightmare, but The Sentimentalist turned it into a happy accident. I went back to the salon and not only purchased the sample of my selected dress, but also purchased an additional dress and sweater/shrug to go with it. Overall, my dresses were beyond what I even imagined and I would recommend this salon to anyone. Thank you so much Hannah & Sentimentalist team!
Response from the Vendor on 12/23/2022
omg Lauren, this is one of my fave reviews of the year!!! Thank you for being so understanding and letting us find the right solution for you ;) We are so grateful for brides like you and we'll keep doing our thing because of y'all! Happy Happy...
Married and please visit ;)
I can't recommend The Sentimentalist enough!! My mom and I went to appointments all over Atlanta before finding this place, and as soon as we walked in I knew this would be where I bought my dress! They have such a unique selection to choose from, and all of the staff were so welcoming and friendly. Trying on dresses at The Sentimentalist was one of the most relaxing dress shopping experiences I had at any store - they give you plenty of privacy! They were also AMAZING when troubleshooting an issue where the dressmaker's materials had left marks on my dress. They were able to resolve the issue and even dropped my dress off at my chosen alterations shop so that I wouldn't have to make another trip to Atlanta. The guests at my wedding couldn't stop talking about my beautiful Elizabeth Dye dress :) Working with this team was so fun that I wish I could do it all over again!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/22/2022
omg Zoe, this is so sweet! We are grateful that we could be the place to make you feel at home and so appreciate your understanding and thoughtful nature. We loved working with you and wish you ALL the very very best! Thanks for making my holid...
ay ;)
A friend recommended the Sentimentalist and I am SO happy she did. I had the best experience trying on wedding dresses and cannot recommend it highly enough! I’d been to several spots previously and wished I had started here as I wouldn’t have looked any further. Hannah made me feel so at home and instantly understood exactly what I was looking for. She was quick, thoughtful, shared great additions and adjustments for each dress and overall was just a rockstar to work with. She selected a dress I wouldn’t have looked at that ended up being my favorite. The selection is incredible too and the shop itself is so fun!
I tried on 50 (no kidding) wedding dresses at various national brand and small owner bridal shops. Nothing made sense until I went to the Sentimentalist. Phae listened and worked with me to find the perfect, unique, and comfortable dress. I never felt pressured to buy something or make a rash decision. In fact, I came back a month later because I still couldn't get the dress out of my mind and there was nothing else like it out there. Thank you so much to the incredible staff for creating a safe, comfortable, and joyful space.
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022
Ah Kaitlyn, you are so kind! Phae is the best and we are so glad y'all were able to make magic together!
I had a truly lovely experience. I felt welcomed and taken care of. Found my dream dress and it was from the sample sale. Spent less than $600. It fit like a glove, no need to tailor it.
Response from the Vendor on 12/02/2022
Love to hear it!!! Samples can be such a great deal if you bring some imagination and a little faith. Thanks for doing just that! And for letting others know ;)
The entire vibe of this store is unique and fun and makes you feel authentically seen and not like just another bride. Their dresses and dress knowledge are unlike any other store I visited and I went to over 5. For such a special moment and purchase, I would recommend no other place than the Sentimentalist. From the moment we walked in, the service was top notch. My associate was Hannah G. and she was so attentive and listened to exactly what I described. I went in with a vague idea of what I wanted and throughout the process I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. Hannah G. was so patient and helpful. Upon purchase the entire team remained as helpful and patient as my first visit. The Sentimentalist Team truly stands out as one of the highlights in my wedding planning process.
Response from the Vendor on 11/27/2022
Thank you Kathryn! We are lucky to work with such unique and creative brides. Thank you for letting us do what we love and for sharing the kind word ;) You are part of the Sentimentalist Fam for LIFE! xoxo
This place was beautiful, clean and very friendly. I had GiGi as my stylist and she was fantastic! She listened to what I wanted (even though I didn't really know). She picked a dress I would not have picked and I LOVED it! We also had help from another woman during the purchase appointment, unfortunately I can't remember her name but she had the most gorgeous freckles. It was a wonderful experience speaking with everyone there and I would highly recommend every woman to at least drop by and take a peek at all the gorgeous gowns. 10/10 will be shopping here when I need to renew my vows ;)
Response from the Vendor on 09/10/2022
We love this review, Scout! Thank you so so much. It's our pleasure to help you find the one and we are so glad that you and Gigi did! Thanks for your kind words ;)
The Sentimentalist was THE BEST place I could've found to find my perfect wedding dress! AH! Hannah G, who I feel is now my friend, was SO incredibly helpful. As a plus size bride, I have always been anxious about the thought of finding my perfect dress. Because of the Sentimentalist, I felt at ease and even excited to try on dresses. I'd recommend this shop to ANY bride in the Atlanta area. Heck, I'd FLY here from anywhere, just to have the experience of shopping here. They made me feel so beautiful and I can't wait to wear my dress!
Response from the Vendor on 08/24/2022
Love this review, Samantha! You were a dream to work with and make us really love our job. Thank you for this and for being such a rad sentimental bride!
The Sentimentalist, and specifically my stylist Hannah, made dress shopping fun, stress-free and one of the more memorable wedding planning experiences. My mom, mother in law and sister all came with me and The Sentimentalist made us feel so special and heard. The process for actually getting my dress was super easy and they recommended a great alterations place. Can't recommend them enough!
Response from the Vendor on 07/24/2022
Isn't Hannah amazing?!? Thanks for sharing the love and shopping with us. It was so lovely working with you and your crew. Happy Married, Erin!
I had such a lovely experience with The Sentimentalist from my initial appointment through my wedding! I came in, only knowing vaguely what I wanted and how I wanted to feel and they nailed it! Their collection is stunning and unique - it was different than the other bridal stores I had been too. Their staff made me feel so welcome and as we went through the appointment did such an incredible job of narrowing down the dress! I did not feel pressured to purchase, but after leaving empty handed, I went to lunch, canceled appointments at my other stores because I knew I had found the dress!! I just got married this May and truly felt like I had the perfect dress for me ! It was so fun showing my husband and family and friends and I treasure being able to get married in it! Would have never even known to look for it had it not been for the wonderful staff at the Sentimentalist directing me to it!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/24/2022
Love your story, Danielle ;) Thank you for following your heart and for sharing your experience. We are so honored. Happy Married!
Phae and The Sentimentalist team were a pleasure to work with! Not only did I find a unique and beautiful wedding outfit - Phae was so easy energetic, and warm heart and made me feel comfortable and special during my fittings. She accommodated every request and responded to emails quickly. The Sentimentalist added such a romantic and intimate level to our backyard wedding and truly made me feel like a bride!
Response from the Vendor on 07/24/2022
Love this, Courtney! Phae is truly the most special and we are so glad y'all made magic together. Thanks for the kind review and Happy Married!!!
I had such a lovely time at The Sentimentalist, I wish everyone could experience the joy it is to shop for wedding dresses here. Hannah was so attentive and understood my vision completely, working closely with me to design my dream dress. I strictly wanted a vintage-inspired dress, and the gown we found and modified is perfect. If vintage or eclectic is what you're looking for, look no further. The whole vibe of the shop is so comforting and fun, and everyone is truly nice. All brides deserve to shop at The Sentimentalist.
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2022
Yes yes yes! You all DESERVE the best experience and we are so happy to provide ;) Thank you for spreading the good word and being a blessing to our small biz. Here for you always!
I had the best experience at the Sentimentalist. During my first visit, I wasn't sure what I was looking for. Hannah listened to my thoughts about styles I was interested in and being sustainable and helped me find the style that I loved. She made the experience so fun and made me feel confident in the dresses. All the dresses were so beautiful! I found my dress during my second visit, and Hannah and the team were so helpful with finding accessories, providing recommendations, and the purchasing process. I would recommend the Sentimentalist to any bride!
Response from the Vendor on 05/24/2022
Thanks Meredith! We are so glad you found your way to us and so grateful for your kind feedback. Thanks for the review!
Not only is this store stunning, but they all also made me feel so special. Everyone was amazing and our saleswoman made me feel great and not at all like they were trying to push a sale. Plus they stay in contact and help out each step of the way. Would recommend this place to EVERYONE
Response from the Vendor on 05/06/2022
You are so special!!! And it's our pleasure to treat you as such ;) Thanks for recognizing our hard work and spreading the word.
I had a flawless experience purchasing my wedding dress from The Sentimentalist! They have an incredible selection of beautiful gowns and accessories. Everyone I interacted with at the shop was just lovely and so helpful! They are true experts in what they do and listen carefully to your preferences and ideas. Communication was always easy and they also provided wonderful recommendations for tailors. Highly recommend this beautiful store, thank you for a wonderful experience!
Response from the Vendor on 03/20/2022
Thanks for the love, Ilana! We have so much fun doing what we love and serving you best is the most fun of all. Thank you a ton for taking the time to leave a review. It means a lot to all of us. XO Gabi
The Sentimentalist is an absolute dream. It's got a mix of everything you need—from traditional to super fun/unique ones. Everything from the shop itself, the beautiful selection of dresses, the sweet stylists...it's a really special little place. Leading up to the day, I felt a ton of pressure/anxiety and questioned whether or not I would have "the feeling" when I found my dress. I IMMEDIATELY had the feeling when I walked into the store and saw it on the hanger. I'm a very analytical person and usually question things for a while so that's not a normal experience for me! It fit me perfectly, my mom and sister loved it as much as I did and I even got to meet the designer to customize it...things that I never thought would be possible within my budget. Great vibes + cool people + dresses that make you feel like an absolute (beautiful) BOSS. Hands down the most magical wedding dress shop in ATL/surrounding areas.
Response from the Vendor on 03/15/2022
Macy! I LOVE this review ;) You deserve to feel like the BOSS you are! We are honored to have been the ones to serve you and blessed to see you in your LEWK. Thanks for taking the time to share the love - it means so much to us. XOXO
As a plus size bride, I was nervous about finding something special. Let me tell you, they have gorgeous, out of the ordinary dresses for ALL sizes. My stylist was amazing and made sure we had the best experience. It was fun and happy and I found a gorgeous fun classy twirly dress that is so me. I could not be happier with them. I bought the dress and canceled my appointments with all other shops. I’d give them ten stars if I could.
Response from the Vendor on 03/10/2022
Ugh, Pamela - YOU are ten stars! Seriously, you are so sweet to leave such a kind review. We are so grateful you stopped to shop with us and so happy we could give you a great time. Thanks for the kind words, they mean more to us than you could...
know. xo
I had the best time at the Sentamentalist! Cailan was the best stylist and was SO knowledgeable about all of the dresses I tried on. I was feeling really nervous ahead of my appointment and was immediately at ease and felt heard when Cailan sat down with me. They were so patient with me as a took a few days to decide on the right dress and I'm so thankful! Will be sending all the brides I know here!
Response from the Vendor on 02/15/2022
Hey Kate!!! You are so sweet to leave us these kind words. We understand how weird and scary the process can be, so it's our goal to make it smooth and fun ;) And isn't Cailan amazing?! Thanks for the love and the references. We appreciate it s...
o much!
My experience at the Sentimentalist was absolutely AMAZING!!! The staff is superb. It truly feels like a family environment. My stylist was very attentive and I literally loved every single gown that she brought me. Every single bride should have this experience. I wouldn't change a thing.
Response from the Vendor on 02/02/2022
Thank you for the kind words, Cambria! We try to keep things pretty profesh, but we technically ARE a family business lol ;) We are glad you felt the love and care! So glad you visited us and so happy to see this review. Thanks for everything!
The Sentimentalist was so great and accommodating when I need to change my appointment plans at the last minute. Phae was an absolute pleasure and really got my vibe immediately. She suggested a custom dress that completely captured what I was looking for. Highly recommend The Sentimentalist to any bride in Atlanta or anyone nearby to visit!
Response from the Vendor on 01/26/2022
Thanks Sarah! Phae is amazing and we are so excited to see the custom creation y'all made together. Your kind words make all the difference for a small biz like ours ;) THANK YOU
I visited 4 other bridal salons before I found The Sentimentalist and WOW I wish I would’ve found them first!! This salon is an EXPERIENCE in the best way. From the beautiful aesthetic of the whole shop, the massive mirrors, the incredibly helpful and friendly staff (thanks Hannah!!), the amazing selection of unique dresses, you can’t beat it!
The Sentimentalist had dresses that I always dreamed of but didn’t think I’d be able to actually find in a salon. Do yourself a favor and RUN to this shop if you want a unique wedding gown!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2022
Ah THANKS Lindsey! Your review is WOW and we are so very grateful! (Hannah says hi!!) We love making your dress dreams come true and can't wait to see the look come together. XO your sentimental staff ;)
I went to 2 other bridal shops but when I walked into The Sentimentalist, I knew right away that they'd have my dream dress. The experience I had at the shop was personalized and so fun. The dresses available were different than what I'd seen so far and the entire experience feel so special. The ordering process was so simple and when I got my dress, it was everything I remembered. I'm so excited to wear it on my wedding day!

Love to hear it, Courtney! I am so glad we were able to be a fun and special space for you. Thanks for shopping small with us and for sharing the good news! XO
I went to five bridal shops and The Sentamentalist was BY FAR my favorite. Cailan was the one that helped me for my visit and she didn’t make me feel pressed for time, listened well to what I wanted, explained all the options for each dress and really allowed me to have fun in a stress-free environment. The stores I went to afterwards felt very unprofessional after such a pleasant visit at The Sentamentalist. The gowns are all so unique and beautiful. I will be recommending The Sentamentalist to every bride I know!!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/20/2021
Thank you for all this helpful feedback Lily! We love what we do and we are so happy you let us do it ;) Unique, pleasant, professional, and stress-free is the goal every day. XO
I visited 5 different bridal salons and the Sentimentalist was by-and-far the best! I'd been very anxious about dress shopping alone and had some iffy experiences elsewhere but the consultants I worked with here really blew me away. The vibe is relaxed and inclusive, and they had the most amazing selection of gowns. I was looking for something very specific and not only did they have many options that fit, they were also able to work with their designers to customize dresses to fit your needs. Also, don't skip the vintage rack!
I wish I'd known about this place when I started my search -- so glad I ended up finding my dress here!
Response from the Vendor on 11/20/2021
Caitlin! Love this! You get us ;) And WE are so happy you got your dress with us. Thanks for sticking it out on the search and letting us win you over! CONGRATULATIONS!
I cannot recommend The Sentimentalist enough. I wasn't looking forward to the dress shopping process, but they made it so fun! I felt at ease with their staff, who were all very knowledgeable, kind, and on your side. They communicate extremely well, keeping you updated or answering questions quickly via email. Not an ounce of pushy-ness, they just want to get you in the right dress for you. They make an effort to keep you on track for your budget when picking out options to try on, which is a pretty noble thing in the business of sales. Beyond that, their selection is awesome- and. you can even catch trunk sales of the designers you like. I feel incredibly grateful for all the ladies there, especially PhaeMonae :)
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2021
Sydney! Thank you so much for such a kind and thoughtful review. You really see our heart and get our vibe ;) And we are so happy you got to work with Phae - she is a treasure and y'all made magic TOGETHER. Thanks for taking the time to show us...
some love - it really means the world to us!
I chose to shop at the Sentimentalist because they seemed different than your traditional bridal store. My experience exceeded all expectations. The dress selections are classic but different enough that you can find a dress for your personality fit. The store vibe and decor was SO much fun. My stylist was AMAZING and we had so much fun. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had shopping.
Response from the Vendor on 10/12/2021
Thanks for GETTING us, Leanna ;) You are such a wonderful bride and sweet shopper, we can't wait to see more from you!
I can’t emphasize how much I recommend this shop! You will 1000% regret not visiting The Sentimentalist for your dream dress. I wasn’t sure what I specifically wanted, but Cailan listened to how I wanted to feel and which styles I was especially drawn to. From there, she provided a variety of styles, colors, and designers to give me a feel for all the gowns. I knew I had found the perfect dress from the first appointment, but there was no pressure coming from anyone to make a decision until I knew I was ready. I am so grateful for this team not only because I found such a GORGEOUS dress, but for making my experience fun and welcoming. They set the bar super high!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2021
Thanks for Making Our Day, Natalee! You understand our priorities perfectly ;) We love to serve and are so grateful to have served you! Cailan is so great and we will pass on the love in tomorrow's staff meeting ;) Thanks again for taking the t...
ime to leave such kind words.
I loved my experience at the Sentamentalist. They have all kinds of dresses--colorful, vintage, bohemian, two-pieces-- excellent vibes and music selection, and knowledgeable, efficient, and kind sales clerks. They were covid-conscience, but still kept the joy of wedding dress shopping. They let you bring in champagne for your guests and let you remove your mask to see how you looked in the wedding dresses. I found "the one" here and returned for an accessories appointment where I found a veil, tiara, and earrings. If you are looking for a non-traditional salon with one-of-a-kind designer gowns, this is the boutique for you.
Response from the Vendor on 09/08/2021
omg Laura, we LOVE this review! Thank you so much for seeing our effort and sharing your experience. We are so grateful you found the one with us ;)
The sentimentalist is such a great experience! They offer a great atmosphere and a wide range of styles and price ranges to choose from. The staff is wonderful too! I worked with Ronnie and she quickly picked up on my style and was able to suggest dresses that I loved within my price range. She was also great at pointing out what I could / couldn’t customize. I can’t wait to see my custom dress!
Response from the Vendor on 09/07/2021
Thanks for the love, Sheldon! We are so happy you chose to get creative at our shop ;) Ronnie is fabulous at direction, but you had the vision! We so appreciate the review and will pass on the kind words to our staff.
I had the best time finding my dress at the Sentimentalist- everyone who works there is so helpful and loves their job, which makes you feel so special! They have an amazing selection and I was never stressed or worried about getting the dress from them, they made everything so easy and were on top of everything. They also have a great collection of accessories and veils.
Response from the Vendor on 09/02/2021
Thank you so much, Emily! We love our job cause of cool brides like you! Congrats on being a sentimental bride ;)
I can't thank the universe enough for The Sentimentalist. I had my first wedding dress appointment at A DIFFERENT BRIDAL SHOP and without getting into detail it was terrible.
When I got a phone call from the Sentimentalist saying that a spot had opened that afternoon, I was relieved - and hopeful that things would turn around, and boy did they.
Hannah was a saint. She was so knowledgeable about the entire collection, the different types of fabrics, fits and what I might be interested in. She made me feel so comfortable trying on things outside of my comfort zone and walked me through whatever I needed to find the perfect dress.
I'm pretty sure she knew which one I would end up with from the moment we started talking, but she allowed me to try on as many as I needed to get to that conclusion myself. I swear, she's a wedding dress wizard.
Once I was back in THE dress, Hannah gave me a full up-do so that I could try on my vail and get a real picture. She was comforting, and genuine and truly made me feel so beautiful. She is amazing.
Also, the Sentimentalist is so beautiful. The moment you walk in there is this vintage, zen and stunning vibe that hits you in the face. It's incredible and everyone that works there is amazing.
If you're the type of bride that doesn't think she can see herself in the standard stark-white poofy dress, the Sentimentalist will have what you're looking for and more. So elegant, different, unique and beautiful! Literally so grateful we found it!
Response from the Vendor on 07/13/2021
Way to make MY SUMMER, Joelle! You are so very kind for these sweet words and thorough review of our careful process. We are the grateful ones. And we will certainly pass on your love to Hannah. She is a truly special stylist and all around won...
derful lady. Let us know if you ever need anything! We are always a part of your fashion team ;) XO
This boutique was absolutely wonderful. I had such a wonderful experience and my bridal consultant, Hannah, was awesome. She picked out dresses that were very much my style and flattered my body. The boutique itself is very beautiful, kind of a funky vintage vibe; looks great in pictures.
Response from the Vendor on 07/13/2021
Thanks Claire! We love that YOU love the vibe ;) We like to keep things chill but we're (not so secretly) bougie too lol. We so appreciate the review and your business.
My bridal party and I loved shopping for my dress here. I found my dress with the perfect belt! All of the staff is super helpful and fun. I will continue to recommend this place to anyone looking for a dress in Atlanta.
Response from the Vendor on 07/09/2021
Thanks Kailee! We are so grateful that you chose to shop with us. Keep the recs coming!
From the moment you walk in to this beautiful store, you feel the joy. Every single person in this shop is amazing and made me feel my best. I picked out my dream dress here and loved absolutely every second of it. They are not your typical dress shop so if you want the most unique and special dresses in the happiest of settings with the most genuine and wonderful women-this is the place.
Response from the Vendor on 07/09/2021
No YOU are wonderful ;) Thanks for all the love, Alden. We aren't typical here cause our brides are so bomb! XO
I had high expectations for The Sentimentalist and they were more than surpassed when I finally got to go after 4 other bridal appointments. Found The Dress thanks to Hannah and her great sense of style and fun, combined with incredible competence and confidence. I just felt totally taken care of in her hands. Highly recommend anyone to make time to go to The Sentimentalist.
Response from the Vendor on 05/27/2021
We love exceeding expectations ;) Thank you for shopping with us and letting Hannah do her thing. Let us know if you need anything else!
The Sentamentalist will be your last stop while dress shopping, so I recommend you start here and save yourself time. I came to ATL to purchase my dress for my big day. After many bridal shops I knew I wanted a dress that I could dance in but that would still have a beautiful train for the ceremony. It seemed like I wouldn't be able to achieve both of these goals and assumed I would end up with a ball gown. Rhiannon listened to my wish list when it came to my dream wedding dress and she was able to pull several dresses that met this list. She was able to help me filter through gowns and really hone in on the most important things. But when she pulled out the skirt overlay that I could put on top of my fit-and-flare dress I realized I didn't have to compromise. Thank you for turning a component of wedding planning that I absolutely dreaded into an amazing experience and for helping me find the perfect wedding dress!
Response from the Vendor on 05/23/2021
Thanks for all the love, Desiree! It is our absolute pleasure to make all the good things happen for your big day. You deserve to have it all and we are lucky you found it all here!
My experience with the Sentimentalist was great from start to finish - I tried on dresses with my mom and sibling during COVID, and it was really helpful to know upfront what expectations and precautions were in place for safety. I worked with Rachael and she helped me figure out what I liked or didn't like about the styles I tried on and ultimately find a beautiful, perfect dress. Everyone was extremely helpful and never pushy. Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 05/14/2021
Thanks for this helpful and thoughtful review, Sarah! We love what we do and appreciate it brides like you. Visit us again for any and all frilly needs ;)
This place is exactly as dreamy as the photos make it look. Natural light, gorgeous decor, and the most beautiful gowns you’ve ever seen. I had a two month engagement and needed a sample dress and I found my dream dress in ONE appointment. They even recommended an alterations (White Orchid) which made my dress seem like it was made for me. Wouldn’t have considered going anywhere else for a gown.
Response from the Vendor on 04/30/2021
Ah, love to hear it Allie! Thank you so much for trusting us with your wedding look ;) And for letting others know how passionate we are. XOXO
10/10 recommend The sentimentalist. They are not only helpful but incredibly thoughtful. The made finding my dress and my accessories easy and effortless. If you're looking for a personalized experience for the untraditional bride these ladies are GOLDEN.
Response from the Vendor on 04/28/2021
Thanks Devin! Effortless is the dream, right?! You were the golden one and we are so grateful you chose to shop sentimental. Be well and visit again!
Hannah was so helpful in finding the perfect dress! She made me confident in my preferences and supported all of my decisions. I wish she could come shopping with me all the time! There was tons of styles to choose to try on and so many options to customize. The shop had a lot of safety precautions in place to help us feel safe and clean during the appointment despite COVID. I definitely recommend going to The Sentimentalist for an appointment!
Response from the Vendor on 04/28/2021
Huya Sheldon! Love the feedback ;) Hannah is awesome and safe is better than sorry! Thanks for the visit and taking the time to leave us a review. Your business is much appreciated ;)
The Sentimentalist was a dream come true. They were so open in communication and honoring my budgetary boundaries (which I totally ignored to get the perfect dress, but the point is that they were super respectful of the budget I TOLD them). They make you so comfortable and get to know your vision—their goal is truly to make you beautiful. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience, seriously.
Response from the Vendor on 03/26/2021
Sarah! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Comfortable and beautiful is EXACTLY how you deserve to feel and we are so honored you felt it with us. Thanks for being a sentimental bride ;)
I loved The Sentimentalist so much. I stumbled across them on Instagram long before I was engaged and I said I wanted to go there. I wanted something simple, but still beautiful. Hannah did such an amazing job, she made me feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. The dress I ended up falling in love with was one she pulled just to try on. It wasn’t anything I thought I wanted, but she knew. I’m so excited to pick my gown up!
Response from the Vendor on 03/21/2021
Thanks Laura! Simple, comfy, and unforgettable ;) You picked the perfect dress and we are so happy you shopped with us. Hannah is truly the best - we'll pass on the love. Let us know if you need anything at all!
I cannot say enough great things about the Sentimentalist!! I was a little nervous to go dress shopping, but I was immediately put at ease when I walked in. The staff is super friendly and the store is gorgeous!!! Ronnie was so patient and kind and made the dress search process a total blast!!! The dresses are beautiful, unique, and there is a really wonderful selection. Once I found the dress, they explained the process and told me exactly what to expect as far as the timeline, delivery, alterations, etc. I would tell anyone looking for a wedding dress to go to the Sentimentalist for a fun and stress-free experience! It was one of the best wedding decisions I’ve made. Hands down!
Response from the Vendor on 03/18/2021
Thanks Brittany! Ronnie is so great and I'm so glad she could hook you up with some beautiful styles AND a good time ;) You deserve all the stress-free wedding fun. Let us know any way we can help XO
Easy to work with and super sweet and inviting
Response from the Vendor on 03/04/2021
Thanks Haley! Easy & sweet is always the goal. So happy to have you and grateful for the stars ;)
There is a reason The Sentimentalist has such incredible reviews - their shop is vibrant and inviting, their dress selection is next-level, and you'll feel like you've known their staff for years. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hannah - she is patient, kind, personable, knowledgeable, and will go above and beyond to help you find your dream dress. I never felt rushed or pressured, and communication about the whole process was very clear. After I found my dress, I just wanted to hang out in the store because it is genuinely such a welcoming and lovely atmosphere. I'm already excited to go back to pick up my dress!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/04/2021
Paige! You made my day ;) We love having you hang out and so appreciate your kind words and thoughtful business. Hannah is a treasure - thank you for letting her do what she does best ;) XO
I knew before stepping foot into The Sentimentalist that I was going to find my wedding dress there. I wanted something gorgeous but a little different than your average gown and there's nowhere more perfect than here! Everyone I worked with totally understood my vibe and I ended up with the perfect dress for my upcoming NYE wedding. I can't wait to go back for an accessory appointment in the summer. Thanks so much Hannah, Rhiannon and everyone else! I can't wait for more of my engaged friends to find their dream dresses here!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/21/2021
No, YOU'RE perfect! Thanks for the sweetness, Julie, and thanks for being a sentimental bride. We are so lucky to have you.
I could not imagine having purchased my wedding dress from anywhere but The Sentimentalist. I was shopping and planning through the pandemic and they were always on top of safety protocols. I felt so welcomed and safe, plus I was elated with how helpful Hannah was, including assisting in FaceTiming guests while I was trying on dresses. They were very responsive to emails and questions through the entire process, which was incredibly helpful and reassuring as I am not local to Atlanta. I had the dress and fit of my dreams.
Response from the Vendor on 01/08/2021
So good to hear, Amanda! We are here for you every step of the way. Thank you for shopping small and spreading the word. XO
LOVED my experience at the sentimentalist. Phae knew exactly what I was looking for and pulled so many amazing dresses, never tried to pressure me if I didn’t like something, and has been able to help through a customization process. She helped me pivot when the dress I came in thinking I wanted turned out not to be the one. The shop is so cute, and I found my dream dress. They made my mom and grandma feel so welcome as well, even with COVID, and served the champagne we brought for us. Honestly my only regret is that I’m marrying the love of my life so I won’t be able to buy anymore wedding dresses here!
Response from the Vendor on 01/07/2021
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for our small business. We love working with you and so appreciate your business.
I had such an incredible experience here! I came specifically to look at the Dear Heart gowns. The staff was so kind. The space itself is so fun and has a cool vibe. They have such unique dresses, veils, and accessories to choose from - you can truly make your wedding day look just like you imagined. I ended up getting my dress here and the process of buying, picking up the dress was so easy. Would highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 12/23/2020
Thanks for this, Rachel! We loved working with you and are so grateful you would take the time to share your experience. Happy Married! xoxox
The BEST experience and the best array of dresses. I searched high and low between Birmingham and Atlanta and loved every bit of my experience at The Sentamentalist. Hannah brought my vision to life and understood what I was looking for better than every other salon I went to. The designers they choose are absolutely top notch. My dress is a dream! Everything was handled so safely and my family was well taken care of! Incredible atmosphere. The perfect place to find a classy or unique dress, or in my case, a little bit of both. And after the end of a day of searching, I swung back by and tried on the dress again. The BEST overall experience!!!!!!! Absolutely go!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2020
Thank you thank you Madeline! You are seriously the best for taking the time to sing our praises ;) YOU were the rockstar and we are so excited to dress you ;)
We were charmed by the staff and this beautiful shop. I wish I could spend an entire day trying on every single dress...wishful thinking aside, I found the perfect dress and veil for my big day and couldn't be more pleased!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2020
Thank you Maggie!! It was our pleasure working with you. Thank you for your kind note and thoughtful business ;)
Look, I'm an anxious person. The Sentimentalist alleviated all fears of being misunderstood, feeling cornered, and hidden fees and catches. It's clear the heart The Sentimentalist is made of gold and golden people who care about natural materials, professional and transparent business practices, and the actual bride herself. The dresses Rhiannon pulled were all so lovely and suited me exactly. I had absolutely zero expectations and they were abundantly exceeded. BUY YOUR DRESS HERE. That's it.
Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2020
Anne! This might be the best review I've read all year. I am beyond grateful for your affirming words and your trust in us to deliver what you deserve - regardless of expectation ;) Rhiannon is truly gifted but you are the treasure! Thank you f...
or this and be well always.
I had such an amazing experience! Rhiannon listened to what I liked and picked a wildcard dress for me to try on! The dress she specifically pulled for me was the one! She used her expertise to help me find the dress of my dreams! The shop is clean and beautiful! If you want fun, unique and one of a kind dress options- shop here!
Not to mention I follow the shop on Instagram and I love everything they stand for!!
Thank you for such a good shopping experience, I can’t wait to pick up my dress!
