The White Orchid

I also had my dress altered by Michelle, who is some type of seamstress goddess! My dress was purchased off the rack at several sizes too large, and she transformed it into the perfect fit! The prices were reasonable for my budget, and they did not make me feel like my budget was too modest. Highly recommend! Great experience!

ough time for alterations.

in to try on my dress, we discovered the company had sent it too short, but Jeffri contacted them and got the correct size in for the next time I was in town. They also helped us pull the perfect veil and hairpiece to complete the look <3

ase my mind. Luckily my dress did come in sooner than anticipated and everything worked out, but I can’t tell you how much my anxious bride brain appreciated having a plan B. I could tell they truly cared and it meant a lot. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone.

process. She made me feel comfortable and confident the whole time, and truly wanted me to find a dress that I felt beautiful in. Towards the end, she picked out a dress that took my breath away – and even added a veil to complete the look. She even encouraged me at the end to look at some other places and enjoy the dress shopping process, but I think she helped me find "the one"! I would recommend anyone work with Tracy in the future for a positive and fun dress shopping experience! :)

mmended, Michelle, was also wonderful to work with and provided reasonably priced alterations for me! Overall I had an awesome experience at this bridal store and would highly recommend them :)

ok best in so I picked a bunch that were that style and the woman I was working with, I believe her name was Ginny, recommended a dress for me and I was hesitant since it wasn't what I had in mind. Low and behold this was the dress I ended up falling in love with! they sure know their stuff here!

up coming back to the same dress, which was a style I would've not picked initially. From there, the dress ordering and alterations fell into place. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect dress! We ended up getting all of the bridesmaids' dresses and flower girl dress from there also. The store did a great job contacting me about messages from the designer and also when each dress came in. I would certainly recommend The White Orchid!

found my bridesmaids dresses there. My dress is unique and it was about $2,000 less than all of the others I had loved. The service is unbeatable. They made sure I was decked out from head to toe. Gown. Veil. Jewelry. The only downside... My wedding is too far away and I want to wear my gown daily. Highly recommend.

g for (which did not go so well at my first store!!!). I liked every dress she put me in. She went through and picked out a bunch of dresses while my group and I browsed through the clearance section downstairs. I ended up between two dresses. One was $1,000 less than the other so I greatly appreciated Amy not pushing me towards the more expensive dress. I felt that she really cared about what was the best choice for me. She was also just so pleasant and made it a really fun afternoon. I did end up selecting the less expensive dress and it was absolutely perfect. I chose to also have the alterations done at The White Orchid. Michelle was the seamstress and her work was flawless. The dress fit like a glove, I was not going anywhere which was definitely a concern in a strapless wedding dress because damn those things are heavy! She had the dress perfectly altered to my body. The length, corset back and everything else was perfect. My dress was also a very delicate lace all over with it being swept over to one side with a little bling, so it did not seem like any easy task! Everyone at that shop was pleasant every time I was there .I would most certainly suggest to stop by to see them if you're wedding dress shopping in the Pittsburgh area. I couldn't have had a more positive experience on top of having a designer dress only $500 (because it was a discontinued style with only one left in the store), also the alterations were extremely reasonable. I needed the dress pulled in about one size and shortened just a little. It took 3 visits, Michelle wanted it to be absolutely perfect and it was!

looking for. They were respectful of my budget and did not force me to try on any dresses that I was "just not that into". They know their stock and have many beautiful dresses from Maggie Sottero and Casablanca. I highly encourage you to shop at The White Orchid for your wedding dress.

ly reasonable price, and the consultant was a great listener and only pulled what I wanted to try on. The only sticking point was the high price tag on the alterations, but it was understandable as I had a complicated bustle and alterations that involved rearranging lots of lace. A great little shop with so many beautiful dresses and solid service!

and it one took her one fitting to get it right! Very professional and had a great time going to the appointment. I was so worried the dress was not going to fit because she had to take in the top but she made it look beautiful and I cannot wait to wear it on my big day! Thanks

ction of dresses that she thought would suit me and let me tell you, they all looked amazing on me! When I was trying on one of the last dresses, Ginny decided to pull one other dress that she thought would be the unique look I wanted. And it ended up being the dress I ordered! It was so beautiful. And the other employees helped out by providing veils for me to try out, a lace headband they thought would compliment the dress, and even pulling out a fake bouquet to get the full effect! We had scheduled several appointments at bridal salons that day, but ended up calling and seeing if we could go back to try on my two favorites and decide. They were so accommodating and welcomed me back a second time. This time, they decked me out with jewelry and veils and adjusted the lights so I could decide between the two. Ginny even started to cry when I did, trying on the dress that I chose for my wedding. They made my experience so special and made me feel really heard and seen. Ginny and The White Orchid helped me figure out the perfect dress for my wedding, now I can't wait to go back when my order comes in to get fitted!! Update: I also went through the White Orchid's seamstresses for alterations to my wedding dress. The dress fit like a glove and I got compliments all night on how beautiful I looked! The dress was comfortable and moved beautifully. The bustle was super elegant too. I also bought a veil through them and it was gorgeous! Definitely go to the White Orchid if you're a local bride!

ut they have enough styles that I felt like I got to try on enough dresses without feeling overwhelmed. I also had a great experience with the alterations department. Prices are reasonable, too.

nd they didn't give that same sort of service so ultimately ended up back at the White Orchid. I bought my gown as well as my veil here and my girls all got their bridesmaids' gowns here. We also purchased the flower girl's dress here. I always found their selection to be well-curated - small but with wonderful pieces. The staff was always friendly and attentive. I honestly cannot recommend them enough! Tina in the alterations department does an excellent job and has a great eye for detail. Thanks to all at the White Orchid for helping to make my day so beautiful and unique!

explained that they were incredibly busy that day and probably would not be able to push my appointment any later. However, she looked at my wedding date (which was quickly approaching) and said that she would put my appointment later in the day and if I went past closing time, she would stay with me and help me find my gown. Amazing! And I hadn't even met her yet. When we got to the shop Patti looked at me and a few pictures of the types of gowns that I liked and went back to start pulling dresses. Every. Single. Gown she pulled for me was perfection. This woman knew exactly what I wanted just from meeting me for a few minutes! She is amazing! I would have worn every single one of those gowns down the isle. Their selection is incredible! The shop cleared out as closing time was approaching, but all of the staff stayed!! Every staff member was helping pull vails, jewelry, belts, and every accessory to take each dress to the real bridal level. They even turned the lights off and put a spotlight on the podium so that I could see the dresses sparkle. I had SO MUCH FUN!! These people are amazing! They clearly love what they do and they love helping brides select something special that makes them feel absolutely amazing. They made my day so exciting and fun! I am so happy to have found my bridal gown there and I can't wait to go back for my first fitting. Thanks White Orchid!! And especially Patti! You guys are truly wonderful!

dy altered it! Other than that everyone was awesome!

by teenagers trying on homecoming gowns. All three visits after the initial one were ok - I still wasn't impressed by the staff, but they seemed more attentive once I actually ordered my gown and went for fittings. The seamstress was most helpful and accommodating. She was very open to ideas and very detail oriented. I was very pleased with the alterations. My dress turned out absolutely gorgeous and my wedding was beautiful, but I was not overly impressed with The White Orchid service.
