Literally SCREAMING in happiness at my dress. I went to another store was was stuck between 2 "ehhh" choices. I decided to go to my appointment at Truly Forever Bridal after. With my wedding being planned last minute, I only had 1 week until I ...
got married and had to buy from the floor. When you "buy from the floor" at other stores it seems like it is their older dresses with stains-- Just my opinion. At Truly Forever Bridal that was not the case AT ALL! I was able to look through every dress on the floor that they had in my size. Alyson helped me pick out some beautiful dresses and I decided on a ball gown ( not at all the type of dress I went in there for). I loved it the minute I put it on and there was no "ehh" about it. Also, they have an alterations woman there as well who does an AMAZING job. They all stayed late to make sure I found the perfect dress and that it would be altered in time for my wedding. I can not thank them enough for everything!

Hi Veronica! Woohoo! I'm so glad that we could help you find your Dream Dress! We love having an extensive in-store collection so that brides who don't have time to order can find the perfect gown! You looked amazing and we can't wait to see pi...
ctures! Congratulations!
I came here with my cousin recently who was looking to find her dress now that I am recently engaged and created a profile here I’m actually a bit surprised to have seen them on here. The dresses are tried on every day and when I walked in to t...
he bathrooms there was hair and dirt all over the floors.. my cousins assistant was nice but the place was not impressive and she was really disappointed on not finding her dress as her wedding at that time was very close to the date.
So I came here not too long ago and it was the WORST experience I have ever had. The girl I had was super sweet and I felt so bad for her because these dresses are sold off of the rack so they have been tried on the girl ensured me they kept th...
em in “pristine” condition as the owner says to tell the brides as she verbalized this to me. Since she was sweet I stayed because I wanted to find my dress so bad that day. Every dress I tried on had a missing hook and eye and she had a hard time zipping it up. One of the last dresses I had tried on the actual zipper was caught on the mesh or fabric and as soon as she got the zipper from the fabric the inside of the mesh was torn. I don’t blame her because I could tell she felt under pressure as she reassured me that they could get it fixed. I don’t think I have ever needed to know about mesh to know it’s close to impossible to fix that. I honestly came here because the reviews were extremely high and overwhelming but I was so excited to find my dress. When I walked in the bathroom there is a sign that says $5 off per 5 star review so now I fully understand why the reviews were that high. Again the girl was super sweet but The actual experience there with the dresses had me extremely disappointed. My friend came here to look for her dress and this same thing happened to her. Don’t go here it really bruised my experience and expectations on looking for a dress.
Our appt was 11/5/22 at Tampa location. I am in LOVE with my dress!!!So excited❤️ we rented the diamond room for a two hour private dress consultation appointment and it was amazing. We drank Mimosa’s & listened to music. Jayden our bridal cons...
ultant was wonderful. She was kind, attentive and picked up fast on what Style I was into and looked best on me. Everyone we met was so nice. The shop is very clean and you have a lot styles/sizes to choose from. Be Open to trying on a style you did not think you would like if you haven’t already. I also want to say I did not notice any signs posted,even on the bathroom, to write a good review and you get discounts 🤷♀️ . I think it’s wonderful that they have a military discount.My fiancé is a Veteran submariner and I absolutely appreciated that. I recommend going to visit Jayden and the rest of their crew to find the most beautiful dresses and accessories from a great group and shop!
First off, I’d like to start this review off acknowledging the fact that this place has so many good reviews because there are signs and posters everywhere (dressing rooms, bathroom doors, etc.) with offers for discounts and gift cards if you l...
eave a good review, and they’re not just promoted to the bride, anyone from a wedding party can leave a “positive review” and get a discount on their purchase. I had the absolute worst experience buying my wedding dress from here, so much so that it has taken me 2 years to write a review because it makes me that upset. Staff were very kind and attentive until after I bought my dress, and then it was clear no one cared about my experience at all. By far the worst person to work with at this bridal store is the alterations woman who works in the back. She is technically not part of the store, but they send all of the store alterations to her. She was rude (made terrible comments about my body) and did a terrible job altering my dress and charged me almost a thousand dollars to bring up the hem and insert cups on a plain white dress (no beading or lace). I knew altering could be expensive, but it wasn’t until I had my second dress altered at a different place that I realized how much she overcharged me. She was able to get away with overcharging me twice, telling me that this was the only time I’d have to pay for alterations and we would just keep working together and everything would be covered with this one bill. She said she could fix an issue within the waist of the dress, and for my second fitting it was still present and when I asked for it to be fixed she told me she would have to charge me again because she already tried to fix it. I would highly discourage anyone from buying their dress from Truly Forever Bridal. This is such an important day, and I regret my choice in working with this place, it impacted my wedding day and all of my photos (the issues were never resolved) and I had a much better experience at White Magnolia for my reception dress.
I found my gown! I felt nervous about having a short timeline to find a dress, and Truly Forever Bridal's store in Tampa sells all dresses out of the collection, meaning I could take home any dress I found at my appointment. That felt like a bi...
g relief before getting there, and then after walking into the gorgeous and sparkly store I felt even more excited for my first (and last!) time trying on dresses.
My consultant, Alexa, listened to what I was looking for, moved at my pace, provided some input while primarily listening to me and my family's thoughts, and shared in my excitement throughout the process. She was patient, and made me feel so secure in my decision-making. I never felt pressured or rush to choose, and that helped me feel confident in picking out my dress and veil! The extra personal touches throughout and after the appointment were icing on the cake. For an out of town bride, being able to leave with my dress in hand made it even better. For anyone wanting a custom experience in a gorgeous shop, with take-home options, this is your place!
Had a dress on hold for $2000.
Didn’t want the dress, nothing was ordered or altered. Dress never left their store.
I told them I found a dress somewhere else and they told me to forfeit the amount I paid. ($2000)
I asked to speak with the ow...
ner and the manager laughed and said that “the owner doesn’t talk to brides” “good luck”
Extremely rude. This is for my wedding day!
I reached out on a Facebook platform in Tampa and several brides shared bad experiences with them.

Thank you Truly Forever Bridal and Teresa for a great experience !!

1000/10 - I was so nervous going in, with it being my first store and first time looking at dresses, I was not expecting to find THE dress. But I knew immediately after Kayleen introduced herself we were going to click and this experience was g...
oing to be great! Myself, my mom, as well as all my bridesmaids LOVED her. We found some dresses, and I played it safe with most but she found a gem & from there they kept coming. She worked so well with my style and budget. I cannot praise her enough and thank her for finding THE dress 💛 The Diamond Suite was perfect & exactly what I wanted for the day! So so happy with this store and their amazing staff! Cannot recommend this store enough!!!
SCAMMERS!! more like TRULY disappointing?!?
These people just sold my future mother in law a dress with RIPS on the back?!?!
These people refused a refund or credit and are blaming her for not noticing it earlier?!?!?
How could anyone see a ...
rip that was on their back?? Shouldn’t the sales person have seen it????
On top of that! She had already signed and left a deposit for her alterations apt for THIS dress. Once she realized the dress had RIPS she of course asked for a different dress or refund for both charges!?
THEY REFUSED and said they’d give her 20% off another dress at the store??? The audacity?!?! They are trying to steal more money from her????
They knew we are only 3 weeks out from our wedding too. So they are using this slimy scam to take advantage of our loved ones. They did this scam in a calculated time frame and thought we wouldn’t notice?! How dare they!!
DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE! They will try this same trick on you!!
After trying other shops, I must admit, when I walked in to my appointment with Truly, I felt extremely overwhelmed. Kayleen was amazing. Absolutely amazing. She calmed me down, asked me questions about what I wanted (surprisingly, this was som...
ething the other places never did). She went to the showroom with me and went by dress by dress. The attention and support was out of this world. Kayleen, if you read this, yet again THANK YOU! You helped make this moment everything I envisioned it to be.
My dress was perfect! The experience shopping at the Tampa salon was everything I wanted! I was so happy to find my dress and then proceed to take it home that day! Not having to worry about shipping delays was such a weight off my back! Altera...
tions at the salon with Kelli was the cherry on top! I am so happy to have found my dress at Truly Forever Bridal!
I had an amazing time finding my DREAM dress with Kayleen at Truly Forever. First of all, I had my own little area and pedastal to try things on and it was filled with little personalized touches that made me feel so special.
I had a few ideas...
of dresses I liked but had never tried on dresses and I was so worried my body wasn't going to look great in the styles I was gravitating toward.
Kayleen was AMAZING. So nice, so fun and REALLY KNOWS HER DRESS STYLES. We chatted for a few minutes and she really honed in on my personality and style. I was initially overwhelmed having never tried a wedding dress on but she made it so fun. She even pulled a dress that she thought I would love and sure enough the first dress I tried on ended up being THE ONE. It was perfect for my event and personality. We still had fun making sure by trying on the other dresses but I ended up totally in love with an unexpected style that I would've missed out on without Kayleen.
I cannot wait to marry my guy in this dress. I felt wonderful the whole time and I'm still on cloud 9. I've never felt so beautiful in all of my life. Felt like the dress was made for me and it was such a fun experience.
PLUS SIZE FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE. TONS OF OPTIONS! I said yes!
I was at Truly Forever Bridal last Saturday and it was one of the best days of my life. It was my first time trying on wedding dresses so I was very emotional, excited, and nervous. 😂 However, Kayleen made the entire appointment perfect. She w...
as understanding, attentive, and patient. I’m plus size, so I was worried I wouldn’t have much to try on in store. Kayleen pulled at least 10-15 dresses for me and I would say about 10 dresses in I was starting to feel like I wouldn’t find the one. She went back to the racks and came back with a dress she thought I’d love. SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. The second I put on the last dress and saw myself in the mirror, I lost it! I knew it was the one and I said yes immediately. Kayleen brought me a few veils to try on and before I knew it, I was saying yes to the dress. I would 100% recommend Truly Forever Bridal AND especially Kayleen to help you find your dream dress with ease. Thank you!!
Honestly I was there to only look, process of elimination of styles or shapes than return later to make my final decision. Kayleen was so sweet, patient and understood my goals. She worked her butt to find more black dresses. Yes, you read that...
right. I was looking at their options for black dresses. We had a load of fun and I was comfortable due the whole process that let my goofy side show off. I had her laughing! She wasn’t pushy about anything and I appreciated that cause I’ve been to other salons with friends getting married and those women push hard like car salesman. After many dresses, I found the one by accident… yes… when we saw the price. Honey I wasn’t about to let that slip through my fingers. Now the only thing was how to sneak the dress home without him trying to look at the dress. It was a mission. Kayleen you’re awesome!
Truly Forever was a perfect fit for my wedding dress needs, and the consultant I was given- Rebekah- completely made the appointment. Their shop is spacious and has a huge collection of dresses that you can walk home that day with, which appeal...
ed to me. I didn't want the risk of ordering a dress and trying on samples, since my wedding was coming up in a few months.
From the start, Rebekah listened to exactly what I was looking for and truly was a pleasure to work with. She's a fairy godmother of wedding gowns and has tons of experience- evidenced by how quickly I could try on all of the dresses. She had me rate each dress I wore, and encouraged a few different shapes of dresses to confirm that my dress was the one. Her advice for wedding day details was invaluable, and the veils she chose to match the dress were perfect. You really can't get a better consultant. It was my first time every trying on wedding dresses, and I walked home with a dress and veil that are more beautiful than I ever could have dreamed!! Huge thanks to Truly Forever and to Rebekah for being an integral part of this day for me!
A couple last details- Truly Forever is also budget friendly with very reasonable pricing. We even went through the sales rack and found good options to try on which I would’ve loved if I hadn’t already found my dream dress. Plus, I left with a packet of informative papers and vendor recommendations which have already proved very helpful.
If you are a bride that doesn't have much time to find a dress and can't wait for months for one to be ordered and shipped from a designer, Truly Forever Bridal is a good option for you. They just didn't have a great selection for what I was lo...
oking for.
They bill themselves as the largest bridal dress shop in Florida, and you buy out of their collection, which means you don't order a dress and wait months like most places. That's great if you're on a time crunch, but I had time so I didn't have a huge need to take the dress with me that same day. They'll also tell you that you'll get a 10% discount if you purchase on your first appointment. It felt a bit more of a high pressure sales pitch than any other dress shop I visited -- after all, when we're talking about $2,000 dresses, 10% is pretty significant.
My stylist Nicole was really sweet and asked me what I was looking for, which was either A-line or fitted with a sweetheart neckline and either strapless or off-the-shoulder. For as big of a store as this was, there were surprisingly few dresses that fit the bill. We walked through the racks together to pick out dresses, which was nice -- although it has always been really tough for me to visualize a dress while it's on a hanger. They had SO many dresses that were either V-neck straps or had sleeves, which I didn't want. It was to the point that I got excited to see anything that had a sweetheart neckline.
Ultimately we pulled about 6-7 dresses, although I didn't end up trying all of those on. One or two were so bad, I didn't ever leave the fitting room. However, there were two that I really did love, but there were issues with them. The first, I loved absolutely everything about it except the neckline was such a deep plunging sweetheart cut that it fit me so strangely -- and with the all-over lace, we just had no idea how it could be fixed. My future mother-in-law and Nicole both agreed that the material made it much more difficult to fix it. If not for that neckline, I very well may have purchased that dress because it was gorgeous. The second dress was also amazing but sadly too small -- and it was the only one they had. The tag said "one of a kind" which meant they couldn't even get another from the designer. If they could have, I likely would've gotten that one. It just wasn't meant to be.
We used the Tampa location to find my dress. I had a huge wedding party we so ended up booking the private room which is worth every cent. It made a special shopping trip even more special! The employee that helped us was so friendly and was tr...
uly listening to what I wanted in a dress. I ended up adding sleeves to my dress and the seamstress is one of the best I've ever seen! She did an absolutely amazing job on my dress and was genuinely invested in making sure it looked beautiful!
Amazing store with an amazing selection!! I reserved the Diamond VIP Suite and it was the best decision!! If you are thinking about doing that for your group, do it! You won't be disappointed. The space was beautiful with PLENTY of room and sea...
ting. I had 10 friends and family members and everyone was comfortable. My consultant, Nicole, was so so helpful and so warm and welcoming to my whole group. She didn't try to push any style or dress onto me and she was supportive of all the decisions I made. I'm so grateful I found my dream dress at Truly Forever Bridal!
Drama-free bridal shopping at its best. Mindy was incredibly patient, kind and down-to-earth which is exactly the kind of consultant I needed. Instead of having a couple dresses pulled for me, I enjoyed walking the racks with Mindy to see every...
dress available, and there were endless options for me to choose from. As a plus-sized bride, being able to shop and try on dresses in my actual size made my wedding vision come to life without uncomfortable clamps and bungees. I found the perfect dress at an incredible price and I was able to walk out the door with it on the same day.
I had the absolute best experience here. As a plus size bride, I was worried about dress shopping. They had so many dresses in my size and in every style. I found the perfect dress here!! My consultant was beyond amazing, she listened to me and...
what I needed. She pulled the perfect dress and was hilarious. 100/10 would recommend them to any bride!!
When I reach truly forever bridal I knew I had reached the mecca of bridal dresses. Their selection and variety is amazing. The cleanliness professionalism and organization of this store was by par the best I've seen. Kayleen put me in my first...
dress and even though I had to try on a few more that was my YES dress. I'm so glad to be working with them, tlThank you for all of your love and support.
I had a great time shopping for my dress at Truly forever. I loved that their dresses are off the rack so you can take the dress home on the same day without waiting for it to be ordered from the designer which can take months. Kayleen was real...
ly friendly, patient, and fun to work with. She even stayed late to make sure I was happy with the veil and everything. It was so exciting and fun and Kayleen really made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for their wedding dress.
I came in last week for an appointment and was taken care of by super sweet stylist, Kayleen. She attentively listened to what I was looking for and when pulling dresses even helped me stay on track when I got distracted! I was comfortable thro...
ughout the appointment and truly felt my satisfaction with the dress was the only priority. I walked in doubtful I would find a dress, but Kayleen worked her magic and I left with the dress of my dreams! I'd highly recommend Truly Forever Bridal to anyone in the Tampa area.
I would most definitely recommend getting your dress here!! There are so many beautiful gowns to pick from, it’s hard to pick just one! The gowns are very reasonably priced and the stylist I had was so good at picking the perfect gowns for me! ...
I was able to find my dream dress after only trying on three gowns. The staff all make you feel so welcome and beautiful! I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place and am so thankful that I had such a positive experience.
I 100% would recommend going here for your bridal needs! The whole experience was absolutely perfect! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away! This was my first time ever shopping for a wedding dress so I’m so glad I chose that place!! Th...
e inside is just beautiful! My bridal consultant Kayleen was a gem! She was attentive, wonderful and comforting! She listened to what I wanted and stayed within my budget! And honestly there was one point where after I tried on a few dresses, I was getting discouraged and trying not to show it, and then I asked Kayleen what are you supposed to feel, and then she asked me about my fiancé and asked if I remember when I felt he was the one, and she said it was similar to that. Not too long after, I found the one! I didn’t cry surprisingly, I guess I cry over others and movies than over myself lol but I did have that feeling and that bridal moment and it was the first time I had asked to try on a veil as well to make sure it was it and the first veil she picked was perfect and then I actually said YES to the dress! The cherry on top of all of it, was their “Fairy Godmother”, she saw my niece who will be 1 in April, and she later came back with a crown for her to try on and it was such an extra special moment for all of us! It was the perfect day and one I will truly never always remember and cherish! Thank you Truly Forever Bridal Tampa!
Omg! Words cannot described how great of an experience it was going here! Was the only shop I went to and found my dress right away. Kayla helped me find my literal dream dress and celebrated with me and my family. She even made sure that that ...
dress was THE ONE.
There are so many options there. Got to bring my dress home with me that day and looking forward to going in for my alterations! Truly a wonderful experience!

lar to the Pronovias gown I had fallen in love with. I was about to give up, but my sister in law found Truly Forever Bridal and drove me to Tampa. The team was amazing and instantly assured me we would find something. My stylist was not wrong. They had my dress!! The first dress she had my try on was the Pronovias gown I had been searching for. I walked around in the store for nearly an hour, not wanted to take it off. They made my dreams come true! I can not thank this team enough for their patience, knowledge of their gowns, and support in finding my dream dress!!

tylist/consultant helping me, Danielle! She was so sweet and really took her time to help me find what I was looking for. She was super gentle helping me in and out of each dress. And she was also very patient with me (as I am extremely indecisive lol!). At the end of the appointment, I ended up saying “YES” to the dress! And I even chose something I wouldn’t normally go for, but I fell in love. Danielle and the other ladies working that day made me feel so welcomed and I valued their opinions as everyone told me I looked amazing in the dress. Thank you Truly Forever for helping me with everything! ❤️

experience was 10,000 times better than the other boutique! My stylist Kayleen had me running around in my robe speed grabbing dresses and had me laughing and feeling beautiful the entire time, she let me try on sooo many dresses and understood my style right from the beginning I ended up buying the second dress I tried on (after trying like 15). She also kept me on budget which was great. The experience was everything I hoped for :) 10/10 would recommend! p.s. my maid of honor also bought her dress there!!!

So I was pleased on the sales end of things and had an overall good experience except for the alterations.
My biggest disappointment was that my dress was far too long after spending $700 to have it altered. I had them altered in the shoes I w...
ore so there's no excuse for that. I was tripping on my dress and had to hold my dress up all night even with the bustle. I wish I didn't have to hold my dress while walking down the aisle, everyone noticed that it was far too long and because they scheduled me to pick up my dress 1 week before the wedding (absolutely their choice not mine, I was a take care of everything early bride) there wasn't anything I could do about it.
you can find a gorgeous dress here but I would shop around for the alterations.
Response from the Vendor on 07/13/2021
Cassie - We were so dismayed to receive your review. It is certainly disheartening to learn that the length of your gown was not what you preferred. We do have our brides try their gowns on with their shoes prior to the gown leaving the salon...

What can I say about Truly Forever Bridal? They are fantastic!!! Nicole my bridal consultant was amazing. I went there to find my dream dress after having already bought a custom made dress at another store. I was not happy with that dress. I...
called TFB and told them my story. I got an appointment the same day. Nicole let me browse the floor and pick what I wanted. I had 2 dresses that were potential contenders, then Nicole stepped out of my box and brought me a dress that I never thought I would like. I was so wrong. I loved it from the moment I saw myself in it. I highly recommend TFB to anyone looking for their dream dress. Thank you Nicole for giving me the dress of my dreams.

I had a wonderful experience at Truly Forever with Alyson!! My morning of dress shopping actually start at another boutique where we had a rather unpleasant experience. To try and salvage my dress shopping experience we called Truly Forever and...
asked if we could walk-in even though we didn’t have an appointment and explain that our morning was not a pleasant one elsewhere. Truly Forever was AMAZING because they welcomed me into their beautiful shop on the spot and made me feel so special and welcome. I then got to work with Alyson who was so kind, knowledgeable, fun and encouraging! I described my vision for my wedding dress and she pulled a dress that was exactly what I envisioned! She nailed it and I knew it was my dress! Everything was stress-free, happy and how wedding dress shopping should be! I am so thankful for Alyson and the Truly Forever team!

I had an AMAZING experience here! Julia was so helpful and picked out beautiful dresses for me to try on. I actually fell in love with a dress I found on pinterest, and I had kept the name of the dress and designer. When I came in they had that...
dress and it was in my size! It was the first dress I tried on and the dress I went home with! You take home the dress that day,which I love because you don't have to wait for it to come in! Julia made sure before she even pulled it to make sure I was okay with the price! And I definitely recommend getting the diamond suite! I'm so happy I did because even if you don't have 10 people to invite, you get your own room, $100 of the $150 goes towards your dress anyway and you get an extra 30 mins. I will always recommend truly forever bridal to any future bride.

. She asked me details about my wedding and what I was looking for in a dress. I could tell she listened to what I was saying because she went and found a dress that was not on the rack and brought it to me and it was the one!!
She made sure to let me know she was on my side while trying dresses on and at the end of the day it was about what I wanted in a dress. Even though I knew the people there were supporting me, it felt nice to know I had someone in my corner the whole time and who I could talk to and know I wouldn't hurt their feelings. I am super indecisive and she was so patient with me and I am so grateful for that.
Overall, my experience literally felt like I was in a "Say Yes to the Dress" episode and I could not be more grateful!!

ection was great, and even though it was my first shopping trip, I found the perfect gown that exemplified everything I wanted: elegance, comfort, and grace. Alyson was the absolute BEST and made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in every dress I tried. She didn't overstep any boundaries and made the whole experience just magical. I keep looking at photos of me in the dress because there are still a few months left before my first alteration appointment, and the anticipation is KILLING me because this dress is so perfect. I especially loved the customizable alteration options to make the dress extra perfect, and I'm so excited to wear it again.

I showed up 2 weeks before the wedding (yikes, I know) and was ready to settle for any dress that fit me. Alyson was a complete rock star, she walked me through the racks and we looked at dresses that were within my budget, and required minima...
l alterations. As she learned what style of dress I was drawn to, she pulled styles in addition to the ones we had picked out. My mother lives out of state, and Alyson panned her around as she was on FaceTime, so she could feel included on the selection. Once I choose a dress (which was one Alyson actually pulled for me based off what I liked)- the seamstress immediately began walking me through the alterations needed. They made an extremely stressful situation feel like a breeze!

ead of being disappointed. I was assured that it would look exactly like that dres, and what I was experiencing that all brides experience so they started to altered the dress and it didn’t look anything like what I was looking for and told them and they both stated well honey, you bought the wrong dress I’d yiu wanted it to lay like that. We can alter it to look like that but it will cost you more mo eh. $1200 in alteration fees and it still looked awful on me. The boobs didn’t lay right and the hips and waste were so wide it made me look 20 pounds heavier. I showed three other seamstresses and they told me the same thing. They couldn’t understand why they didn’t allow me to just buy another dress before cutting into it. I was very disappointed and won’t wear the dress. Do not buy a dress here, they were not honest and they are horrible with alterations!!!

I had such a wonderful time at Truly Forever Bridal in Tampa. I did lots of research on bridal shops before making my appointments and knew I wanted to go here first because according to my research it was large, had a nice selection of dresses...
, and great reviews. And I was right! Teresa was my stylist and she was so great to work with. She went through every single dress they had with me and didn’t rush anything. She made me feel very comfortable, laughed with me, and just was overall so warm and welcoming. I liked that the dresses were in a variety of sizes, so I could actually try 10 dresses on that fit me, instead of dresses that were way too big and needed to be pinned in order to somewhat see what it was supposed to look like. I found 1 dress that I really loved but wanted to try out some other stores before making a decision. I ended up only going to one other shop, and didn’t have nearly as good of an experience. I left that store feeling discouraged and overwhelmed due to the unpleasant experience and less than friendly stylist. I took some time to think, and really couldn’t stop comparing every dress to that one that I loved. I decided to cancel my other appointments and went back to Truly Forever to get my dress. Since it was in my size, I got to take it home that day. Teresa was there and was again such a pleasure to work with. I would recommend this shop to all future brides for the selection, the customer service, and the beauty of the store and experience!

I would 10/10 recommend all brides go in to see her. She was just so helpful and made the experience super fun. AND SHE HELPED ME SAY YES TO THE ABSOLUTE MOST BEAUTIFUL DRESS I COULD HAVE IMAGINED!!! I loved everything about this experience and will tell everyone I know all about it!

I went to Truly Forever Bridal today as my first dress shop and it turned out to be the only one I needed. My consultant was Alyson and she was SUPER nice, really listened to what I thought I wanted and was very aware of my budget and sticking ...
to it. I felt really comfortable with her, that she just wanted to help me figure out my dress dream. I did actually find a dress that was a little different than I thought I would want and I'm beyond happy with it. I felt like they had a good selection and I can only imagine when they move to their larger location it will be even better. I felt like I was in my own mini episode of Say Yes to the Dress!

On February 29, my mom, sisters and I went to my appointment at Truly Forever Bridal in Tampa. Looking back, I’m so blessed to have had such an incredible experience with this team of amazing women before COVID-19 hit the United States.
After ...
filling out the paperwork, Tessi Crawford, the General Manager, walked me through the process of selecting different styles of dress within my price preferred style and price range. Tessi was so considerate of how overwhelmed I get when shopping and she was so patient with me.
I selected 4 dresses, including 1 my mom selected thinking I would love it.
Ladies... listen to your mom 🥰
Not only was this the very first wedding dress I ever tried on and my first bridal appointment since getting engaged, but the dress fit me PERFECTLY. I cannot stress this enough. It wasn’t what I thought I wanted, but it turned out to be exactly what I envisioned for my wedding.
Tessi helped me put the dress on, zipped me up, and we both gasped.. in absolute shock!! As I walked out, I felt so beautiful and when I saw my mom’s and sisters’ reactions, I knew this was it. I couldn’t believe my luck.
I have to add that I was supposed to have this appointment two weeks prior, but my mom had the flu. Turns out, the dress arrived 2 days before my rescheduled appointment. I would’ve never found this dress if I didn’t reschedule. Things happen for a reason right?!
I tried on a few more dresses, went to a second appointment that day, but I couldn’t get that dress out of my head. I went back that afternoon and picked it up!!
If you’re looking for your wedding dress, come to Truly Forever Bridal and ask to work with Tessi. I promise you won’t regret it. ♥️♥️
Thank you for making my special day so incredibly special, Tessi!!!

I just bought my dress from Truly Forever Bridal Tampa yesterday and WOW, it’s was the best experience I could’ve hoped for! Rebekah was my consultant and she made me feel so incredible special and beautiful throughout the entire experience. S...
he not only listen to what I wanted but also to my mom and group that came with me. But at the end of the day made sure I was being heard! She also truly took the time with me and didn’t make me feel rushed what so ever. It was my first time every trying on wedding dresses and I was a little nervous because of sizing. I’ve gained a lot of weight in the course of a year but have started to loose 20lbs already, but I still haven’t been feeling the best about my body. So my biggest fear was having to try on a dress to small for me. That was far from the case though!! There was not one dress that I tried on that didn’t come in my size (16/18). I think we pulled atleast 10+ dresses for me to try on and then some AND they were all different styles/designs with reasonable pricing. But they had SO MANY dresses in my size to pick and better yet MY DRESS that I tried on was literally MY DRESS. The one I tried on was the one I would be taking home so I don’t even have to wait for it! However, they will be cleaning the dress/fixing any imperfection that have happened. My dress mainly just needed to be clean then a button to be fixed, which I was told would take 3 weeks! It feels so nice to know that I’ll have my dress in a matter of a month! Then my veil that I got I’ll get in 16 weeks top! I can’t say thank you enough to Rebekah and the entire team from Truly Forever Bridal!!! You truly did make this experience better then I could’ve dreamed. THANK YOU!

STOP! Don’t look anywhere else don’t consider any place further. Seriously I can’t rave enough about this place. Buckle up, ladies and gents, it’s about to get real.
When shopping for wedding venues I saw this gorgeous dress on display at a ve...
nue, I took a photo and kept moving. Fast forward a month, I had been casually looking at dresses, I had made an appointment at another popular Tampa store and just wanted to get a feel of what looked good on me. I began following different shops including truly forever bridal on instagram. One day I was watching their story and saw this gorgeous dress in the window. I messaged them to ask what dress it was, the girl said she’d find out. The next day I called and the lady who answered didn’t know and she was off that day. I had a feeling though, and after work I drove over to see the shop myself. THATS WHEN I MET ALYSON🥰 let me tell you this girl is adorably sweet, so kind, so knowledgeable, so so awesome. She knew exactly what I was asking for. She pulled the dress immediately, I tried it on and it was perfectly my size. I cried, because as soon as I saw myself, I knew it was mine. The dress i saw at the venue was the same dress in the window. It was just waiting for me. The experience was nothing short of magical. Alyson made it so much better, my parents called to surprise me and Alyson schemed with them 😂 She seriously is an awesome human. She’s a goddess in her craft. She always answers all my questions, calls me back if I leave a message... she’s there for her brides. I can’t stress enough how amazing my experience was. I can’t stress enough how happy I am with my experience! My fiancé is even using them for tuxes! They have a massive selection for RENT OR BUY making brides like me with a different color pallet able to let the groomsmen rent or buy their tuxes. Look no further, seriously. Thank you so much Alyson 💕

Truly Forever has a great selection, however, I didn’t have the greatest experience there. In comparison to the bridal salon I ended up picking up my dress at (not here), the service made me feel uncared for. GiGi was the woman helping me and w...
hile she was nice, she didn’t make me feel excited or even beautiful. This is coming from me, a woman who is not the kind of person to really need to “feel special” because I’m not into a lot of attention. If you want the selection, check this place out. However, expect to not be treated how you think you probably would be treated while shopping for the most important dress you’ll ever wear.

hich at first had me on edge but I needed that push and I truly want to thank her for pushing my indecisive butt into gear. I went in thinking I was going to leave without a dress but then I came back and she was so honest and even brutally honest when necessary and that I appreciated enough to truly accept her opinion as one I could trust. Thank you Gigi!

We are so happy that Gigi was able to provide you the support you needed to make the selection of your gown a success. We wish you all the best!
This place sure knows how to make a bride not feel special. I paid in full and I was told to leave my dress there so that the details could be fixed before I brought it home. I recieved a call when the dress was ready to be picked up. I went to...
their new location and they redirected me to drive back to the old facility whose roof was caving in (this is where my dress was kept). I was never informed that I would be charged a monthly storage fee. I was never called and reminded to pick up my dress. They sneakily charged me $145 storage fee when I was able to pick it up. No monthly invoice. I left in tears
This is for the Tampa Westshore location: I am so grateful that my mom was the one to find Truly Forever Bridal! After an awful experience at David's Bridal, we went in to Truly Forever, no appointment, no expectations and I was feeling rathe...
r broken after my experiences with David's. We were immediately met by Alyson and everything changed. When I stated that we did not have an appointment, it was a non issue. Something else that caught me off guard, Alyson took the time to ask questions, get a feel for my style / what I like and then in a flash, began picking out dresses. Now, what I loved about this shop is that it isn't overwhelmingly large and everything there, that's what they have. Not the same dress, over and over. Different styles, different colors, everything to reflect individuality. Back to Alyson being awesome. As she began pulling dresses, there was one that she pulled that just made my eyes light up - it was not something that I would have picked right away but there was just something about the dress. Now, I cannot say too much about the awesomeness that was before me for apparent reasons. Meanwhile, during the pulling of the dresses, we were told, you want cap sleeves, we can add them. You want straps. No problem. NO ONE has ever offered that before so of course, I was even more impressed. The dress that was before me, I couldn't stop touching. The fabric. The detail. Everything was perfect. So that was the dress I tried on first and it fit like a glove. Oh it doesn't stop there. The dress had a bit too much "poof" for my stumpy frame - no problem! That was a quick fix as well! And there it was. The perfect dress. Everything I had wanted. Because Alyson took time to understand my style and to see pictures of the venue, she got an idea in her mind which brought my ideas to life. With one dress tried on there, that was it. I said yes to the dress. So. If you are a bride looking for an amazing dress, skip David's. Go to Truly Forever Bridal. Their prices are better. Their quality doesn't even compare. AND the team there, they are amazing and are there to make your experience special - and that they did. To make it better, there was a coupon for "x" off "x" spent - definitely and a tux rental with $169 off the price. You cannot and will not get this sort of experience elsewhere.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM. Their dresses are messed up. They not flexible, and they are so rude.
Worst experience I have ever had. I had Gigi as my consultant. I asked for dress less than 1200 ( I know it’s low but that’s all I can...
afford) she assured me she will find me something. I told her my wedding is in 20 days so I need something fast. She said no problem but said that she won’t be able to do any alterations to the dress. I was okay with that. We started looking at dress and ALL of them were 1700 or more. I was like okay maybe she will give me a discount so I tried one and I did not like so much . I tried another and it was 1650. The zipper was messed up, the bottoms won’t close because it’s too loose. She said there is no belt included and wanted to sell me another belt for 200 dollars more. The trail at the end had also loose threads and was dirty. She said she could take 150 dollars and then another 100 or something. So she said the total would 1350 plus the price of the belt. I looked at the tag and it said belt included !!!!! I am like what!! I showed her the tag and she was like then wait I will go look for it. She came back later claiming it was hidden somewhere in the transparent dress bag!! The new belt won’t stick in its place because it’s faulty and need fixing !!!!!!!!!!!!
I told her I am willing to fix the dress and everything but it would cost me much more than the 150 dollars that she took off because the dress has so many thing to fix, she replied saying it is not our fault that ur wedding is 20 days later and no we won’t give any further discount!! She was sooo rude like I am begging her to give me the dress for free or something !! I told her okay give me till the following day and I will call u if I need the dress so she said then 150 dollars is off the table !!! I am like why, she said it’s a one day thing . I told her I need to get estimate on how much the dress will cost me before I can call and she said then u have about 4 hours to decide today or the discount is off.
I was so upset that I wanted to leave and that when she said she could fix the dress in store in 10 days for me if I am really hurry !!! She did not offer that until the last second but she said it has. Catch.. you won’t get the 150 off coz we are fixing the zipper and the bottoms. I still have to clean it and fix the hem because it was messed
I WAS SO UPSET. WOSRT EXPERIENCE EVER !!!
I have my reason for rushing the wedding. A family member is dying and I have to rush the wedding . I also a student and I do not work so I have tight budget but they kept pushing me over the edge. She won’t even extend a discount of a mere 150 till the following day till I get an estimate and persuade my parents to help me. I left their place on the verge of crying and I felt like I do not want to go shopping for a wedding dress again..
Response from the Vendor on 10/23/2019
We are deeply saddened and taken aback to receive your review and impressions of your experience with Gigi. Given your circumstances, it is perfectly understandable that you are under a great deal of stress and pressure as well as working on a ...
very short timeline. You have our deepest sympathy for the circumstances surrounding your expedited nuptials. However, it is very common for us to assist brides that have a rapidly approaching wedding and we go to great lengths to insure that they have the dress of their dreams no matter how close the wedding date. As our owner welcomed you and greeted you upon your arrival, she did her best to reassure you even though you stated, "I probably won't be able to find anything." Additionally, on a daily basis we work with brides with varying budgets and thus offer gowns with prices starting at $500 so we definitely have gowns well within your budget range. We, however, can't control the gown that a bride falls in love with if she chooses one outside of her targeted budget. In efforts to assist you, Gigi approached our owner to see if she could secure an additional discount above the current promotion of first day purchase incentive that we are offering at this time. The promotion of $150 off a gown purchased on the 1st visit is being offered to brides and is valid until close of business on the day that a bride visits us. We have found that sometimes brides will leave our store and return later in the day after considering their options and decide to move forward with purchasing their gown as they do not want to lose the discount. Thus, Gigi explained the time frame for which the discount was available. Additionally, as a standard practice, we repair any issues with the gowns that occur as a result of them being tried on. Thus, the loose zipper, stretched belt loops, and soiled train would have all been repaired as is our standard common practice. This is done on a regular basis at NO COST to the bride. However, you relayed that you had another source for these repairs and requested an additional discount on the gown. After Gigi spoke to owner on your behalf, she lobbied the owner to extend an additional discount to you thus bringing the total discount to $300 to accommodate the cost that you might have incurred to have these repairs completed. The confusion with the belt was an oversight as the belt had fallen into the bottom of the bag that the dresses are stored in and was obscured by the train. Gigi did not notice it when she removed the gown from the bag. Upon learning that the belt was included, there was no need for the addition of an outside belt. Again, if any repairs were needed to the belt, they would have been taken care of, free of charge. We are so disheartened that you were left dissatisfied as Gigi went to lengths to lobby on your behalf and accommodate your short time frame. However, we can certainly understand when miscommunication and stressful times can lead to displeasure and upset. We sincerely ask for understanding as our goal is to serve each and every bride with respect, enthusiasm, and grace. We ask that you grant us grace and are able to move on. Finally, it is our hope that you are able to find moments of happiness as you cherish this precious time with your loved ones and we wish you all the best.
THANK YOU LAURA KANE!!!!! After 9 Bridal Shops from Atlanta, Naples, Fort Myers, Daytona and Sarasota, I found the best shop in Sarasota. I had one dress in mind and told myself I just wanted to make sure I checked EVERYWHERE and that: that...
dress was the one. Well apparently it wasn't. I found the perfect dress here at TFB Sarasota with Mrs. Laura Kane!!! The shop was bright and happy. I felt comfortable and welcomed. When asked questions like how are you today, how did you meet your guy, what have you been liking or looking at for dresses or just random chit chat (l love chatting) Mrs. Laura would actually listen to the answer and chat back. The Little touches, such as the sign with my name Welcoming me when I walked in, to the sign in the dressing room stating "the future mrs. "
We left and then came back and we had my MOH's little ones, she never blinked she chatted with the kids and was just as nice as she had been all day!!! I can't say enough good things about Mrs. Laura and this shop!!!! I had a great day meeting her and being there. I am so excited about my dress!!! They had a wonderful selection, not tooooo many and not just a few. A very fantastic place!!!! Thank you so much for the chit chats and support. Definitely recommend this shop and Mrs. Laura!!!
