The Wedding Embassy

I would recommend shopping at The Wedding Embassy to any bride-to-be. I scheduled a champagne toast shopping appointment for my first visit; the shop was quiet and we were able to browse the racks and pick out dresses for ourselves which was unique among the dress shops I visited. I was able to try on more dresses than I can count! When I returned to purchase my dress, I had an opportunity to try on accessories to help me create a vision for my overall bridal look. At each appointment, the staff at the shop were cheerful and helpful and really made me feel beautiful. Alterations at The Wedding Embassy were convenient and affordable. My seamstress was great to work with over the course of my three fitting sessions, and she helped customize my dress by adding detachable sleeves, detachable straps, and pockets while also ensuring the dress fit properly. The team was even gracious enough to store my veils (purchased elsewhere) with my dress! Picking up my dress was easy and included a tutorial for how to store the dress at home and how to pack it back up! However, the quality of the alterations I received was not what I had hoped for. Changes I had requested in my final fitting were ultimately not made, and the construction of the bustle was not sturdy enough for the weight of my train to hold up to the dance floor. We re-bustled it a few times before trying to hold it in place with safety pins. Eventually, the safety pins also failed, and I needed to carry my train in my hands for the remainder of the night. I shared this feedback with the store via their feedback form, and did not receive a response. Overall, my experience with The Wedding Embassy as a shop was extremely positive! I recommend their purchasing without any hesitation and recommend their alterations department with an asterisk that you should discuss the durability of the bustle with your seamstress!
