The Something Blue Shoppe

k Emily enough for her help in selecting the perfect gown for my big day!

n greater than I could've ever imagined. Blake and TJ were the greatest in helping me find my perfect dress. I received so many compliments on my wedding day and I have The Something Blue to thank! I could not recommend this store any more - it is the best there is!

and asked what I was looking for. I sent her photos of dresses I already tried on that I liked, and she worked with my budget and style to find the perfect dress! I ended up purchasing my wedding dress from them, and it was under budget! I loved the atmosphere because the staff were all so friendly and supportive. I'm so happy with my experience there, and I cannot recommend them enough!

is gorgeous and plentiful. Prices can fit just about any budget and the women were a dream to work with. I mean just SO sweet. Check them out FOR SURE!

tant girl in the world!!

ve it pressed before my wedding and they did a fantastic job.

listen to each detail you’re searching for and find the perfect thing. The customer service is INCREDIBLE (Blake is amazing and the sweetest). I truly don’t have a single bad thing to say. Learn from my mistakes and go here first!

cial and that they are the most valued. Suzanne just read me like a book snd made the experience even better than I ever imagined. She seriously took what I liked and didn’t like into consideration. I would tell anyone getting married or in a wedding to go to this place! You won’t regret it!

e nicest way possible that I needed at lthe very least a size 8. I did not want them to feel bad for me, but the cup is exremely difficuly to alter. It is not meant to be altered. The waste the completely off. the small town sweet act The Something Blue Shop employees portray is sickening. And this cannot be blamed on "Corona" . the initial concern I expressed to the salesman (person) was when on Martin Luther King Day . My measurements were taken in less than 3 seconds in front of the register. 4/11/2020. I splurged on my wedding dress bc I went with my future sister-in-law to This shop where you make an appt. I didn't know she signed us both up for appts. I knew I had to have the dress. Worked a second job on the weekends. My mom came with me months later and they were so busy. I put the down payment and a guy took my measurements. I'm a size 6-8 and am a 36B cup. He said there were two dresses left in my size so it was good I ordered. The size was 12. I asked if that was normal and he said it is with wedding dresses especially coming from a company in Australia.The dress came in last week and they told me I had to pay the remaining balance over the phone. This was sat and they said I had to pick it up Monday. I drained my account bc I was prepared to have to pick it up so early. My wedding is in October and they said I could get it around July to have enough time for alterations. I already knew I was going somewhere else for alterations. I reluctantly paid over the phone and again expressed my concern about the size. They said I could come to the door , show my ID through the window and the dress would be set out and I had to sign and keep the pin. I was so nervous on the way home knowing that they didn't get my size correct. Sure enough, it's huge. Of course it can be taken in around the waste, but the cups look ridiculous on me.From top to bottom it doesnt fit AT ALL. So, now it's July and I have no way to pay for major alterations. It's strapless, but the way they put it on me in the store and whatever size the cup was didn't show cleavage. The only thing I can do is get a huge push padded bra, but that's not an option and it looks stupid. I'm so upset and hope there is some way to cut the cups, but I have no idea how. Of course sales are final, but I should have been able to try it on the store and send it back for another size before signing and paying. Especially since I told them numerous times, even trough the window the day I picked it up. Anyways, long story short, I should have said either you let me try on the dress or I will not pay the money.My dream dress with no way to have it altered bc it you can't change a D cup with B sized boobs. I do not reccommend this place to anyone. I was told that with the measurements they took, I would need minor alterations. Fake people who lied to my face. Knew I wasnt a size 12, but wanted the money. Instead of telling me that there are similar styles that are my size and in stock. My mother, who helped me pay for the dress, has no idea. She, also thought the employees were genuine. I do not know how they sleep at night or look at themselves in the mirror since their job is deceiving people. If only I had of gone somewhere else:(

olite and really pays attention to what you want without being pushy. I highly recommend!

the entire time you’re there. I can’t speak for everyone, but my experience at The Something Blue Shoppe was magical!

was kind enough to pull dresses with/for me, and I ended up falling in love with the perfect dress after only trying on 4! Suzanne was beyond helpful and really listened to my ideas - plus she was super sweet! She also picked out a beautiful matching veil and earrings. I would highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a beautiful, reasonably priced wedding dress. The overall experience was wonderful!

every dress I liked. I never felt rushed and the whole experience was fun and relaxed. I loved that I could go straight from choosing my dress into the bridesmaid section. The staff was extremely helpful and every worker made it really feel like the day was all about me. I absolutely loved my dress and the entire experience thanks to The Something Blue Shoppe!

what I wanted but within my budget. The shop helped me find and work with a local seamstress and were able to have my dress and veil pressed and ready for me so that I could look my best on my wedding day.

even after just having a baby. My dress came in with a broken zipper but the alterations were done very well and you could not even tell anything had been messed up. They were very understanding and so nice.

lso told that it would be "good to go", which it wasn't - I needed extensive alterations. That sucked because my wedding was two weeks away at that point, and I lived an hour away. So I spent a ton of hours and a lot of money in gas just trying to get my dress to the point where I thought it would be when it arrived. I also didn't get to choose my alteration lady, and I really didn't like her. She was stupid expensive - wanted $800 to hem my dress, for example. And she just kept adding more money even after we got the estimate at the beginning. Plus she told me she put in 3 bustles, but I could only ever find one. So overall a net neutral experience. If you purchase your dress as a whole, buy it early enough, and get it altered somewhere else - then absolutely go there.

and easy for me to find something there that I loved. Highly recommend you go here first and request Blake !

in the shop were helpful when I went in a few other times to try on different veils and pick up.

pick. I tried it on and after trying others on I came back to the first one. It was perfect. I literally chose the first dress I had ever tried on. Paige was absolutely wonderful from the beginning to the very end. If I were to go back I would not change one thing. I highly recommend seeing Paige Wilson at Something Blue. She made my process easy and fun! If you can give her your vision of the perfect gown I can almost guarantee that she can find one in the shop that fits it!

r her to try on. They were especially good at ordering the perfect size for her. She lives and works in the UK and would not be home until 2 weeks prior to the wedding. We did not have much time for extensive alterations, but thankfully, the dress they ordered her fit almost perfectly and required only a few very minor alterations. We will definitely shop there for my other daughter's wedding.

ld pull some dresses that she thought complemented my personality!

their shop. Don't commit to a dress before stopping by The Something Blue Shoppe first!

nd told me since the gown had not yet been released, it could be customized to my height, and they measured me. They recommended I get the same size gown, but I let them know I’d rather order up because it was tight in my chest. My MOH vouches for this decision. They also told me they would assign an alterations place from my hometown so I wouldn’t have to travel 45 minutes for fittings, but my first fitting would be at the store, and the cost for the fitting (not alterations-the fitting) would be included if I scheduled it when I went to pick it up after arrival.. Fast forward 6 months, gown arrives. What a nightmare... I have lost 12 pounds and 2 inches on my body since I picked out this gown, not only was the dress way too small (as in would not zip up) it was unbelievable wrinkled and looked like it had been folded and balled up in storage until I got there (4 days after they called and told me it arrived.) up it was clearly a mismarked gown by the tag. The dress is Ivory, the tag said platinum. They claimed they would have the seamstress measure it and call me back... and it has been a month, they have not returned my calls. I went back to the seamstress they assigned to me today because I’m plum out of time at this point... she took it out so much that it now has to taken in 1.5 inches in my waist, and my breasts still look too big for the cups. Oh, and I have to pay for it, even thought I already paid for it... let’s be real, who can lose 1.5 inches in 28 days around the waist. I’m not a fat girl, I’m not a skinny girl, that’s not realistic. Here I am $900 into alterations and it’s going to take a minimum of two more fittings, just to see her costs $25-$50 for her “time” and Something Blue won’t even apologize, even though the seamstress told me she let them know the Gown did not arrive as a size 8 when she measurements before she started alterations. The alterations on this unbelievable misordered item are going to cost almost as much as the overpriced gown. The fact that it looks like it was crumbled into a ball, they won’t return my calls, it’s a criminal business going out there, don’t waste your time. They maybe the oldest spot in Alabama, but you can go to several of the new boutiques and they atleast partake in your gown from the time you step in to the time you walk down the aisle.

at I not only loved but were with in my budget. The hardest part was narrowing it down to just one. She also kept in touch with as my dress and accessories arrived in the store and set-up my courtesy pressing appointment for me. She was great to work with and the shop is beautiful!

was her consultant, and T.J. also stepped in to help. We ended up blending the top of one dress with the skirt of another (Robert Bullock) and they helped us add the details that made it her perfect dress. We had shopped at other stores but did not receive the personal attention that we were given at Something Blue. They truly made our experience a pleasure and made sure that my daughter was able to find her "dream dress".

etc. When I finally decided on a dress (a custom one!) some of the staff stayed about 45 minutes after the store closed to help me get everything just perfect for my order. I would highly recommend this shop to any bride! They have a great selection of beautiful dresses in many styles. It is a small shop, so be aware of that when going at a busy time and/or with several guests. I went on a busy Saturday with four other people and we had no problem. As long as you're not expecting your own private area (they only have two pedestals you have to share with other brides, but I only had to wait probably a total of 3 minutes my entire 1.5-hour appointment) and you're flexible, it is a great experience!

ead what I was looking for but had yet to see all of it in one piece and Paige listened to every word I said and ultimately looked at me and said "wait right here I think I have something that might work." I put it on and knew it was the one. She knew what I wanted just from listening to me and narrowing things down! Paige made my wedding dress experience unforgettable and I am so thankful to her and everyone that helped me at Something Blue!

und the perfect dress for me while making the day special and making it an experience that I will never forget. They are all extremely helpful and kind. It is a blessing to find a wonderful place like this!

nd it was the ONE! I definitely recommend Ms. Paige and the Shoppe!

s were. I lucked out and came the weekend that there was a Lilian West trunk show and found the dress I had been searching for all over. The customer service was amazing before, during, and after finding my dress. I also used Margret to get alterations through and she was so sweet and accommodating to my schedule. I went to many many stores, but this one had the biggest and prettiest variety of dresses I had seen even in the Birmingham shops.

elpful and sweet. I was able to look through dresses and pick what caught my eye, they were able to accommodate my budget and shared in my joy when I found my dress after only trying on 5! I got my tears of joy moment with my mom and was able to find all the accessories I needed! I love in Birmingham and the hour and 15 min drive was worth it! You can't get personalization like this in a big city!

I wanted this to be an even more special occasion since we would not all be together to plan other areas of the wedding. We could not have asked for anyone better than TJ and Paige to help with our experience. Sara found THE dress but after having looked at several other boutiques that day, we forgot to make sure the dress was ordered in white. The next morning, we realized that the dress we ordered was ivory. I immediately called the Something Blue Shoppe and explained the situation and asked if we could make a change. We had been told to double check the details before we left but we overlooked this VERY important detail. The associate on the telephone said that since it was the week of Thanksgiving and things were moving slowly she didn't think that would be a problem at all. Then, when she looked in the computer she couldn't find the dress in white. She asked if she could call me back when she found out what was the problem. She did not call me back, TJ did. He was off that day getting ready for a party but still took time to call back to explain that the dress was made of Chantilly lace and that Chantilly lace did not come in white. He was not upset or ugly. He called to talk because he knew how much Sara loved the dress. Several times since we've called asking for information about the dress and they have ALWAYS been friendly and accommodating. Love the Something Blue Shoppe. And Sara's dress was not on the high end of their selections so it has nothing to do with the cost of the dress.

NG! My girl did a great job of making sure I picked what I loved and not what everyone else wanted to see me wear. The shop is set up beautifully with large mirrors and great lighting so you can really spread out and see yourself as a bride. The alterations lady is very professional and is amazing at her job. She won't let you walk out of the shop till your dress fits you exactly they way it should.

The experience of trying on dresses with my two best friends and my mother is one I will always cherish. The staff was so kind and helpful and truly made the experience magical. I found my dream dress (the exact dress I had seen in a magazine and liked turned out to the be the one!). We did not do a first look at our wedding so the first time my husband saw the dress was as I walked down the aisle. He told me afterwards that if he had unlimited choice of dresses, the one I wore would have been his exact pick also. The staff is so knowledgable and can truly make you feel like a beautiful bride, no matter your budget. We also purchased our invitations through their in house discount after buying my dress with them. They turned out to be absolutely stunning and arrived only a week after ordering them.

out any and all dresses I might potentially like to try on. They offer other services such as alterations, bridesmaid and mother of the bride dresses, shoes, etc.
