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!

This was my first time shopping for a wedding dress and it was truly magical. The store is beautiful upon entering and they have your name written on a board as soon as you walk in. Everyone there was so kind and my stylist Kayla was incredible...
. 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!

I know that I was schedule to have my appointment with the most helpful and lovely lady in the bridal world! Allison was just amazing! She knew exactly what I wanted, and it took her almost NO time at all to find the perfect dress IN MY PRICE RANGE! It was the loveliest and most effortless experience of my life. She took care of everything! We had picked out quite a few dresses to try on but I actually fell in absolute love with the second one!!! Needless to say I bought it and I am so so happy with my purchase! It was like the dress was literally made for me! I have no words to describe how thankful I am to Allison for making this experience one of the best memories in my life! Aaahhh there aren’t enough great things for me to say about her and the establishment itself! I loved everything about shopping for my dream wedding dress thanks to Truly Forever Bridal in Tampa and the most thanks so Allison! IN LOVE!!!

I bought a dress and before it was even cut into I asked her if it would look like the one in the picture I had which was more tighter around the waist and hips and told her I would gladly pay more money for a dress that fit more like that inst...
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!

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 💕

Thanks so much for your sweet feedback, Kristin! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your experience with Alyson and she was able to assist you in finding your dream dress. Congratulations!!
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.
Response from the Vendor on 01/07/2020

Thanks so much for your kind words Jennifer! We are so pleased you enjoyed your experience!!
I was unsure at first, but what sold me was the patience they had to let me leave and then come back. Gigi helped me in between her other appointment after I left and came back a couple hours later. She pushed me at first to eliminate dresses w...
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!
Response from the Vendor on 01/07/2020
Tabitha - thanks for your feedback and positive review. Each bride requires different support and attention depending on their personality. We strive to consistently provide five star service to each guest, tailored to their specific needs. ...
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!!!

ur time with her. We strive to celebrate each bride and assist her in feeling confident in her decisions and excited about her big day. We are so pleased this translated into our experience!
I went to their Sarasota location and It is hands down the best place to go! You will LOVE the experience here. I went to so many stores and was losing hope about finding the perfect dress, and on my first visit here I found THE ONE! They have ...
such a large selection of absolutely beautiful dresses. There is a variety of styles and they have plenty of sizes so you do t have to worry about if it fits! They will make you feel so special the second you walk in! Laura was my consultant and she’s amazing! The experience would not have been the same without her! She helped me in and out of dresses and she was really good at pulling dresses I like. They are a business focused on quality and most importantly the bride! I had a small group of people come with me and they were all accommodated for with comfortable chairs. I even had my own mirror section with everyone sitting around. They even allowed us to bring in our own champagne! And they supplied us with real champagne glass flutes for us to use! Words can’t describe how grateful I am for Laura, her flexibility and support! Truly Forever Bridal is the place to go! You will not be dissatisfied!!
If I could give this place 10 stars I would!! I shopped at the Sarasota location and right when we walked in we were greeted with warm welcomes and friendly staff. I can not thank my consultant, Laura enough. I told her all my concerns, likes, ...
and dreams. I love how she gave us the freedom to look through the dresses to pick out the ones that really caught my eye. She also picked out dresses she thought I’d like... and boy did she have great style. The 2nd dress she had me try on was “YES” dress. She truly made me feel like a bride that day.
I knew of this place because of passing by when it used to be under a different name and management. This was my 3rd bridal appointment so I was very nervous that I would not find my dress. I was greeted by Tessie who was very helpful, knowledg...
eable and kind. I told her about my wedding and what I had already tried on. We walked the showroom while she pointed out all types of beautiful gowns and we were ready to try them on. She was so fast with helping me get into and out of the dresses that my entourage was amazed and wondering how we were coming out of the dressing room so fast. I ended up finding my dress and it was one that Tessie highly suggested to try on as it had everything I was looking for and man was she right! I LOVED my dress and walked out so happy and relieved that Tessie helped me fine the one. Tessie chatted with me from the moment I walked in until the moment I walked out of the door and made me feel so comfortable. Thank you Tessie, you were awesome and I cannot wait to share my wedding photos with you.

ns - she is the best! We love hearing that you enjoyed your experience and can't wait to see your pictures! Congratulations!!
THE BEST!!! I shopped at the Sarasota location. I couldn’t have asked for a better dress shopping experience!! Laura was my consultant and she was soo sweet and helpful! And so was every single person in the store. After I found my dream dress ...
at an incredible price, we decided to have my Mom look for a mother of the bride dress and Laura helped her find the perfect dress, too! It was one of the most special days and made for an unforgettable experience. We are so thankful we chose to go there! I went to David’s Bridal a month ago and tried on a few dresses but Truly Forever is so much better because: (1) the quality of the dresses is far superior, (2) the consultants actually get to know your style and pick out dresses for you to try on rather than simply helping you put on the dresses you picked yourself, and (3) you get to support a local business with such a nice owner. If you are looking for either a wedding or formal dress, book your appointment now!!
There are no words to express my gratitude for my experience!! Allison was the most amazing, helpful, budget conscious consult I could have asked for!! She went above and beyond!! She knew what I wanted and helped me to explore a bit outside of...
my view!! This bridal salon really was organized from entering to exiting!! I went to David’s bridal and I was overwhelmed and overstimulated. This place was what I needed! They have a more secluded environment for the bride and entourage and cater to you!! Hands down a 10+! Thank you!!!

This was my first stop in search of my bridal gown. The location and outside of the building looks super rough but the inside tells a different story. It’s beautifully lit and has rows and rows of dresses. They had a lot of beautiful lace dress...
es, but that wasn’t what I was looking for so I did not find THE ONE but my consultant was very nice and tried helping me figure out what I really wanted. Which ended up being completely different than what I had originally envisioned. Left a little disheartened but not because of the store.

What a FANTASTIC experience! I unfortunately had to go in alone due to my family living over 1,000 miles away, but these ladies made me feel right at home! Rebekah and I connected IMMEDIATELY and shared the same vision of my dress! Each time I ...
"loved" a dress she would try and "top" it until nothing would compare! I am so happy that I found my dress at the largest Bridal Boutique in the state of Florida and could not be happier with my purchase!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/09/2019
Hi Megan! We just love when our brides and our stylists have an instant connection! Rebekah and the rest of us loved having you in the store! We are so happy that we could take you from "I Dream" to "I Do"! Congratulations!
After going to two smaller bridal stores, I decided to try Truly Forever Bridal because it is the largest in Florida and I figured they had to have something that I loved. Everyone was friendly when we arrived and they had plenty of seating for...
my family while I filled out some information, which was nice. My consultant was Alyson and from the beginning she was very personable and friendly. She listened to what I had to say about what I wanted and every dress she pulled was something that I liked. As we tried on dresses, she helped me narrow down my options so I didn’t have twelve dresses to choose from at the end. She definitely helped me make decisions and was very patient as I tried to decide which dresses were keepers. After retrying two of the dresses, I finally decided on a dress that I absolutely love and cannot wait to wear when I marry my fiancé! Thank y’all so much for such an amazing time and helping me find my dress!!

Wedding dress shopping was the easiest, most exciting time I had! I had no idea what to expect and coming here for my first dress shopping experience was the best thing I’ve done!! Alyson was the best, had me laughing, and definitely understood...
my difficult style requests! She made everything seem so easy,
and enjoyable, and my family and I loved her! She made my dress buying experience the best and I can’t wait to wear the dress again!! She definitely understands and will give the best advice about wedding dresses!! Sweetest, funniest, and best help I had!! Wedding dress shopping I thought was going to be the hardest task and it was the easiest task during wedding planning thanks to Alyson!

Had a wonderful experience shopping for my dress here (Tampa location)! I worked with Gigi and she helped me find my dream gown. I also have to mention that the alterations here are done with care and my dress fit great!
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2018
Hi Anna! Thank you so much for your kind review! Gigi really enjoyed getting to know you! We are so thankful that we got to be a part of your big day! We'd love to see photos! Congratulations!
I had my appointment just over a month ago at the Sarasota location, and I am still so amazed at how my appointment went! I wasn't as excited as a bride-to-be should be I suppose and it's because I am SO indecisive and really didn't know how I ...
felt about trying on a bunch of gowns and wasn't sure how a consultant would really know what I'd want when I didn't even 100% know. But Laura exceeded my expectations...by far. She was like another mom/friend with me; helping figure out what I like/don't like and even encouraged me to try on some gowns I didn't think I'd like. Which ended up being just what I needed because the gown I ended up saying "yes" to was one, when she first showed it to me, I said "nah, it's not really me". When she got the gown on me she actually gasped and said wow....before I saw myself I didn't think I'd have the same reaction but I did! I didn't think I'd really have "the moment" but I did. It was so unexpected but wonderful.
The shop is quaint and homey feeling but also so classy and elegant. We met the owner too and shs was such a sweetheart! They supplied some snacks, water, champagne. They really made it such a delightful and enjoyable experience. I really cannot rave enough about them!

Gosh, I cannot say enough about my experience at Truly Forever Bridal. I was referred to this place by my boss who bought her dress here 7 years ago (it was called something else at the time). I actually had an appointment at CC's and told my m...
om to "get to business" lol so we can get in and get out. However, Laura was my sales rep. and she was just fantastic.
I ended up staying for hours, purchasing my dress and just getting to know the ladies that work there. I had some issues with the size of my dress because I was in between two sizes. The team worked diligently to ensure they ordered the proper size for me. I even just stopped in to try on my sample dress again so I could figure out some other details and once again the ladies welcomed me with open arms.
They are NOT pushy at all, I truly think they want the bride to feel comfortable and not regret their decision :) I highly recommend.
I have not received my dress yet, but I have no doubt that my alteration experience will be just as great as my purchase.
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2018
Hi Aly! It is so great to hear that someone referred you to us that bought her dress when we were "Jons Bridal"! We just love that! Thank you so much for taking the time to write out such a sweet review for us. Laura loved getting to know you, ...
as did the rest of us at Truly Forever Bridal! We look forward to seeing you soon for your alterations! Congratulations!
Truly Forever Bridal in Sarasota was the first place I went shopping for a wedding dress. And I'm so happy it was! It was my first and only stop since I said YES to the dress! I went in not really knowing what I wanted and was easily guided to ...
figuring out what I did and did not like. Laura allowed me to try on my suggestions and pulled some of her own after noticing what I did and did not like. I ended up choosing one of her suggestions. Another bonus was the store was intimate and my family and I were the only other customers in the shop so we had all the attention we needed. The store was stunning and I couldn't recommend shopping there enough!

t going with the intentions of purchasing my dress since this is the FIRST store I had visited. Tessie was my consultant and I loved her from the very moment I walked in. Tessied identified what I was looking for right away and took me to a variety of selections, she was very patient and professional, she has a lot of knowledge and made me feel extremely comfortable. She took the time to make sure I understood everything about the dresses and their services. I SAID YES TO A DRESS and I am so happy I found this place and recommend you guys to visit Orlando so future brides from Orlando can shop at Truly Forever Bridal.

I went to Truly Forever Bridal after hearing about the amazing experience that my sister-in-law had when she was shopping for her wedding dress. My consultant was Alyson and she was super helpful with offering advice since this was my first ti...
me trying on wedding dresses. She showed me some dresses that met what I was looking for and encouraged me to try on some styles that I wouldn’t have normally picked out for myself. Alyson could tell how I felt about a dress based on my facial expression. She also asked me what I did not like about the dress so that she could narrow down a winner from the rack of dresses we pulled to try on. The fourth dress that I tried on was perfect and ended up being the dress for me. My family was surprised that I was able to find a dress on my first shopping trip because I am picky and love unique details. I think that Alyson’s knowledge of dresses, styles, and fits allowed me to say “yes to the dress” on the first try! I definitely recommend Truly Forever Bridal and my consultant Alyson!
Response from the Vendor on 04/10/2019
Kathleen, thanks so much for your kind review. Alyson enjoyed her time with you and was so pleased to help you find your dream gown. We make it a point to listen carefully to our brides and pay attention to their body language which helps us ...

Truly Forever Bridal made my dress shopping experience a total breeze! Everyone I spoke with was so friendly, and my consultant Laura was amazing! This was my first dress shopping experience so I had no idea what I wanted going in. Laura was so...
patient with me and my group as we went through the salon looking at different styles. She let me pull what I wanted, then went through and pulled a couple of her suggestions based on my choices. I probably tried on upwards of 15 dresses and Laura was helpful with advice the whole time. I never felt rushed or guilty for trying on so many. I didn’t expect for my first shopping trip to also be my last, but I fell in love with a dress well within my budget, and the whole experience was so positive I couldn’t imagine looking anywhere else. I ended up leaving with one of the dresses that Laura pulled for me- she completely nailed the style I was going for- even though I didn’t know what that was when I walked in, in fact I had originally passed up the dress I ended up choosing while going through the racks!! I can’t say enough positive things about this store, and Laura put the experience over the top for me. Thank you so much!
This was my first stop and my last! I had a 10am appt and said yes to my dress before 11 am. Tessie was amazing! She knew exactly what I wanted after sitting with me and asking me a few questions. The place is gorgeous and I had so many dresses...
to choose from. I was not looking forward to this experience because I have heard so many horror stories, but Truly Forever was top notch! I would recommend them to everybody! Thank you Tessie for helping me find "the dress". I can't wait until I wear it walking down the aisle!
I cannot express how wonderful my visit was. the whole experience was effortless and I was able to find the perfect dress for my wedding that is rapidly approaching. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a stressfree dress shopping ...

and not pressure made this experience both amazing and fun! I am so excited with the dress, and would recommend😍 her (and the store) ten fold!!! Thank you Alyson and Truly Forever Bridal!!!
I did not have an amazing experience at Truly Forever Bridal. I went based off of their reviews and had a completely different experience than everyone else it seems. I am not one to write a bad review usually I just take the experience and wo...
uld move on. I just don’t want anyone to leave the way I felt. I had tears in my eyes the entire appointment- and they were not happy tears by any means. They made me feel horrible. I went into the appointment excited knowing they had such great reviews and such a large collection of bridal gowns in all sizes too! GiGi was my consultant- she made me feel like a bridezilla and I found myself apologizing to her the majority of the appointment. I promise you I am anything but! I told her what I was looking for - something simple - no glitter or jazz just simple less is more. She pulled and showed me anything but and had a bad attitude when I said I wasn’t interested in said dress she pulled. She was pulling large ball gowns with the most glitter and bling I had ever seen. My entire appointment she made me feel as if I was a bother. I tried on some of her ball gowns since I was trying to be open minded but they just made me feel fat and horrible. She had a could care less attitude. At the last min I saw a dress on a mannequin and said - something simple like that! I tried it on and I knew I liked it and it might be the dress but I was having such a bad experience I think it jaded the moment. I left there that day feeling horrible about my body, my experience and that I wasted all my time to travel there.
I liked and wanted that dress but did NOT want to give them my business. It was serendipity- I went to a last min appointment a few days later elsewhere at a very small bridal shop and showed them the dress I liked at Truly forever and they had it right then in there and in a size more true to try on. And it was $900 less! I was able to say yes to the dress. I am thankful I did go to Truly forever because they helped me find my dress but I could have done completely without the process and negativity there.
If you are looking for a glitzy ball gown this might be your place. If you are looking for something sweet and simple this is not the shop you.

I definitely recommend Truly Forever Bridal!
Truly Forever Bridal is fantastic! I made my appointment online and received a call to confirm and gather information about my style that same day. I planned to use the appointment as a trial run and to narrow down my style.
Prior to my app...
ointment, I was a bit nervous as it was my first time trying on gowns. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Laura. She was very friendly and helpful in helping me focus on what I was looking for in a dress. After asking a few questions, we were off to search the extensive collection of dresses for the perfect one. Laura with my budget in mind, guided me through the process and we ended up with about ten dresses of varying styles. Each dress was gorgeous! Laura was very kind and genuine. I had a great time trying each one and was impressed by the level of customer service she provided. I fell in love with the first dress I put on but was determined to try on the rest of the gowns we selected. Laura was so patient!
I am pleased to say that the very first dress I tried on was the one I chose. I had such a great, low stress experience. I highly recommend Truly Forever Bridal and Laura. Thanks!
