I wish I could meet every single bride in the South (hell, in the WORLD) just so I could take their hands in mine, kiss them on both cheeks, and send them directly to The Sentimentalist. Rhiannon made what could have been a stressful, anxious d...
ay into an absolute joy. She is a complete sorceress - transforming admittedly lovely dresses into absolutely magical gowns through her incredible styling. She made my family comfortable and involved them in the dressing process. She LISTENED to everything I and my family said, showing her adaptability and professionalism as well as her delightful personality. I had two appointments made at other dress boutiques for the next day and cancelled them before walking out The Sentimentalist's doors, because together we created a gorgeous outfit that I, my husband-to-be, and my guests will remember forever. Everyone else I spoke to at the Sentimentalist was just as professional, just as fun, just as joyful as Rhiannon, and I am, honestly, jealous that I don't work there. My time at The Sentimentalist was a celebration, one I can't wait to continue when I go back for my fittings.

I scheduled an appointment here to go dress shopping with my bridesmaids in Sept 2019. Hannah was assigned to my appointment and let me tell you - she was amazing. Upon arrival everything was perfect from the start. After all my girls got there...
- I tried on probably 10+ dresses. Hannah was so patient with me/us, and gave honest feedback. I had honestly thought I had already found "the dress" prior to coming here - and that ended up being not the case. I put on the "Julie" dress from Truvelle Bridal, and the rest was history - she was the one. The whole process from "saying yes" was seamless at The Sentimentalist. I paid my deposit and then everything arrived on time, on the dates they said it would be in. I even purchased my veil from here as well. I think their prices are reasonable and I highly recommend both this shop and Truvelle dresses. The store is beautiful and clean. You will need an appointment for both dress trials and pick-up but the 1:1 service is so worth it. See Hannah if you can - she's amazing!

, Rhiannon, eased all of my worries the minute I walked through the door. She brought me through the store and took in all my opinions and likes/dislikes as we shopped around. She picked up the tiniest hints that I didn’t even recognize myself and started pulling dresses that would better fit my style. She ended up finding the most perfect dress for me as we narrowed down the search to what I liked on my body. She let me try on and retry dresses until I found the one. It was a completely stress free environment and she made me feel so special. When I finally found the dress, she pinned up my hair in a beautiful updo and accessorized the look. This was the first bridal shop that I went to and I was absolutely shocked that I got to walk out with a dress! The shop was beautifully decorated and the atmosphere was so calming. Never could I have imagined a more perfect experience. The staff also made sure that everyone was safe during the pandemic with masks and special accommodations. If you are looking for a personal shopping experience with no stress and gorgeous gowns, go to the Sentimentalist. You will not regret it.

r a simple, classic, yet unique/ different wedding dress. Every other shop I went to (and I'm guilty of going to many shops in Atlanta) had the same inventory and designers. I didn't want delicate chantilly lace or beading or sequins. Rachael introduced me to a Laudae dress in 2018 and I was immediately hooked on the designer - it was just a little expensive. My husband and I postponed our wedding to 2020 to save a bit more money (little did we know it wouldn't matter because of Covid!!). I went back to The Sentimentalist (and Rachael) in 2019 and bought my customized Laudae dress - it was the best experience. Rachael held a different lace up so I could see the new look and was super patient and answered my questions. I highly recommend The Sentimentalist for unique, beautiful wedding gowns + for the best customer service! It's just such a fun place to be and the entire team is wonderful! Thank you Rachael, and all, for such a great experience :)

In fact, she did her best to give me an accurate cost breakdown of both the full price dress vs the sample with alterations. She was kind, thoughtful, and sensitive to my budget and style. After having a miserable time at the other shops, the Sentimentalist was a breath of fresh air. I found my dress and had a lovely time doing it!!!

Rhiannon already had a dress in her mind she thought I would love based on the description I offered when I booked my appointment. I tried that one on first and LOVED it. I tried many more on, in lots of styles. There was zero pressure from her to go in any direction (style-wise or price) and she made it feel like I was shopping with a friend. I ended up going with the first dress I tried on, the one she had imagined I would love, and I couldn't be happier! She even worked some kind of magic and pinned my hair up in about 20 seconds in this sweet way so I could see what the dress would look like with my hair up.

in all areas of my budget and even gave me extra recommendations to customize my dress for me when I was torn between 2 looks (and it happened to be no extra cost). Now my dress is one of a kind!

Going back to pick up my dress also was equally wonderful. 10/10

I loved my experience with the Sentimentalist. I purchased my dress from their old location, and hear the new shop is even cuter. It was a laid-back, personal, non-intimidating shopping environment, which I really needed as a nervous bride. ...
I wasn't sure I would fit the Sentimentalist "image" (if there even is one), since I figured their dresses would be more Bohemian than my style. I was also nervous since I'm a curvy bride - size 10 in regular and 14 in bridal even after losing 40 pounds. Making it even tougher, I came in pretty sure I was going to purchase a dress from a different boutique. I was able to be open with the stylist about my insecurities, and the "other dress." She was so very patient with my indecision, and didn't pressure me at all. I slowly and tearfully(happy tears!) realized the last dress I tried one --which she actually picked --- was perfect for me. And no, it isn't all bohemian in there! The dress I picked was very traditional. It was so fun playing dress up with their accessories once I knew which dress was mine. Sentimentalist also made sure I had all the details they DON'T handle in store sorted out -- they recommended a great seamstress, great dry-cleaner, and even the perfect underwear. I would recommend them to anyone/everyone.

I really wanted something different than most dresses out there and told them NO lace and NO ballgown or "fit and flare" and they showed me so many amazing dresses that were so far from that look. I loved every single dress I tried on! Rhiannon took so much time with me and I never felt rushed. She really focused on finding something that I loved and felt beautiful in. I found my dress that first day and absolutely loved it. The dress came in so quickly and they were so accommodating when I came in to pick it up and search for accessories. I was so sad to leave because I just loved going in each time! It was such a warm, welcoming, and fun experience. I got so many compliments on my dress at the wedding and it was exactly what I wanted my dress to be. Thank you thank you for the best experiences!

I couldn't even dream up the dress that we came up with! And when I said I didn't want to wear a veil? Oh, out came the most beautiful wrap I have seen. I felt so confident and fun on my wedding day in my dress and I owe it all to them. If you're looking for something unique and spectacular you have to go see them!

Rhiannon is the greatest. This was the third bridal shop I went to and, honestly, I almost cancelled my visit because I thought I'd found THE dress at a different place. But I couldn't have been more wrong. As soon as we walked in, she swept me...

Rhiannon did everything she could to help us envision what it would look like on our wedding day--we added earrings, a veil and she did my hair the way I've talked about it being done. Incredible! She went above and beyond to make our experience comfortable and joyful, even remembering my whole party's names. I mean, come on. Thank you, Rhiannon and the whole Sentimentalist team!

Rhiannon was just a joy to work with. She read my style immediately and we dove into so many unique dresses- the selection here is breathtaking! Color, vintage, separates - literally, they have it all. Including gorgeous, unique accessories! If you're a little less traditional, looking for something more fun or funky for your wedding, come straight here! I liked almost everything I put on and found my perfect dress during my appointment. Even afterwards, Rhiannon added little touches that made it even more uniquely mine. Such a beautiful and fun experience!

I’m not the typical blushing bride but I had so much fun trying dresses on and showing my mom and sister. It only added to the experience that I ended up picking the first dress she had me try on. She wasn’t pushy about time or dresses and it was really clear that she genuinely wanted me to be happy in what I chose. She didn’t give me dresses that were over my budget and was really creative with options. If I could give her 6 stars I could, (Also, I emailed them to retry the dress on the next day just to make sure and they were able to fit me in.) Thanks guys for making this such a great experience!

I have so many warm and fuzzy feelings about this place! With my initial appointment I had about 7 months until my wedding to find a wedding gown. This was no issue for the staff and I had so many options to choose from. For the initial dress s...
election, only the bride and consultant go the area/room where the gowns are kept which lowered the pressure for me. The first choices were solely based on my opinion (I would have definitely looked to my mom to get her thoughts had she been in the room)...I think this is great because the consultant is able to get an honest perspective of how you want to look on your wedding day and guide you through dress selection. When it came to trying on the gowns and showing them to the consultant, my mom, and friend who also came along I felt so relaxed and calm. This was definitely a different experience compared to other boutiques where I felt a little rushed and overwhelmed. The consultant with me at the first appointment was Caitlin and she gave great supportive opinions about everything I tried on. She picked so many wonderful dresses for me that were right up my alley. I was able to pick and purchase a beautiful dress at my first appointment. Rhiannon was the other consultant I worked with when I returned several months later to pick up my dress. I also did an accessories try-on appointment with her...I ended up purchasing a veil, earrings, hair pins, and belt from them (they are such good saleswomen)! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and would return to their shop if I had to do it over again. Additionally, I live about 2.5 hrs from the shop and have a demanding work schedule, but they made it so easy to schedule appointments. They are very responsive to emails and to phone calls. The women at this shop alleviated so much stress for me in regards to dress shopping...buy your wedding gown here!!!
