Ventura's Bridal

the dress never has to leave the building. Definitely recommend them!

mmended to meet with In’Tress and I did not regret it . She was so joyful, sweet and helpful. She narrowed down what I was looking for and at the end I felt comfortable saying “yes” to the dress. It was a dream experience. So thankful for her and how resourceful she was! Highly recommend her and Venturas Bridal.

he perfect dress and I cant wait to wear it!

on the 28th!

reated a wonderful experience for me. If you have an appointment with Ventura, I HIGHLY suggest that you request Kai for your wedding stylist - she will not disappoint! ~April

all, like I did at other bridal shops. I would highly recommend Venturas and Geraldine for any bride.

own to my perfect dress! Very happy with the service I receive here.

even imagined. 10 out of 10 experience! Highly recommend!!

lon and found a different dress I loved. I went back to Ventura’s to see if they had it. After trying it on twice I ended up with it. Kai was so lovely and patient and really understood my style/vision.

idn’t go anywhere else. The staff is so wonderful, kind and sweet. Teras was my stylist, she might be one of the happiest humans I’ve ever met. She also understood what style I was looking for and pulled all the ones that were like it or even similar. She is professional and has a good idea what size you should get and can help give you an idea what alterations you may end up needing.

appointed! She is a phenomenal consultant that knows how to make your experience very special. I highly recommend Ms. In’Tress for your your wedding dress experience!

dent. In’Tress made me feel relaxed from the beginning. You feel like royalty at Ventura’s Bridal and everyone is so friendly!! Not to mention the variety of dresses they have. I highly recommend Ventura’s Bridal!

bride of the century. I think I tried on 10 different dresses and she never gets frustrated. She also has a lot of insight on how they can alter and or change things. She's full of joy! you can tell she loves her job and does it with pride. Anything you want she will make it happen to the best of her abilities. Over all Ventura's is a wonderful place you will not be disappointed they have a HUGE selection and a wonderful staff. They are all super helpful and friendly.

t think I’d find my dress on my first attempt but In’Tress found it and I absolutely love it!

ve found my dress without her!

mmend working with her, such a fun personality and joy to work with!

a great system that helped me keep all of my favorites in order without being overwhelmed. It was a very productive appointment and I loved every minute! Go see Kai at Ventura's!

They are so encouraging and truly want you to find your dress and I never once felt pressured. 10/10.

called to see if they had the specific style and they told me no. I called again a little while later to ask if they could at least order it and with luck in my side, In’Tress answered the phone and not only did she tell me they could order it, but she could also get it on loan from the designer so I could try it on before buying it! So that’s what we did and today I got to try it on! I also tried in several other dresses just for fun but I knew that I had found my dress already. In’Tress just made it so much more fun and she is such a great hype girl! She made me feel beautiful in all of the dresses and as a plus size girl, I NEVER felt uncomfortable or embarrassed with her! This store also has a great selection of gowns for plus size brides which also helped my experience a lot. Nothing but amazing things to say about it! THANK YOU IN’TRESS!!!! You made my dream come true❤️❤️

me in the best of ways so I could make the best decision for myself. She helped me understand what I liked and did not like about different dresses and prioritized my comfort. I never felt rushed or pressured in any way and was instead encouraged to take my time, reassured we could try on as many as we needed, and encouraged to take pictures and enjoy the day! I made plans to visit other stores but Ventura's ended up being my first and only spot! They had a large selection with plenty of variety to help me find the perfect dress.

walk down the aisle in this beautiful dress!

ant Geraldine, was incredibly supportive and attentive. She let me look around, decide what dresses I wanted to try on first, then she asked me a couple of questions, listened to my preferences and how I envisioned my day, and then she began pulling dresses that began to fit the vibe I was aiming for. I felt very heard and cared for by the whole team, but especially by Geraldine, they were all amazing hype women. I felt that they truly cared about how I felt about my dress and wanting me to be certain of my choice rather than just trying to make a sale. I was encouraged to take my time, maybe go to other appointments, and to feel sure about my choice before saying yes, but they nailed it and it was a no-brainer. I highly recommend this salon. I had the perfect experience here. 10/10

d the store and pull some I wanted to try. Daisy also looked at my inspiration and kept my preferences on style and budget in mind while pulling dresses for me. Daisy was the best hype girl and I was so stoked to find the dress of my dreams and see a sneak into what I will look like on my wedding day. Not to mention, all the consultants working were hyping me up and making me feel so beautiful! I will recommend Ventura’s to all friends getting married from now on!

ht she was just asking questions, she was really figuring out my style and vision, it was really amazing how she pieced it together for me and actually had picked out what was me dream dress. The most genuine and personable woman to work with, listened to me go on and on while changing into my next dress about every single detail. She really was the best gal to work with! I can't wait to come back in July to pick up my dress, InTress helped me find my dress and I couldn't be more excited to wear it on my big day! Thank you InTress!

aid yes.. Fast forward to January 14, Intress was a super help once again even though it was busy she still took time to help … I tried on my Dream Dress again and when I tell you I said YES and rung the bell… Thank You Intress and Ventura Bridal for making my wedding dress dream come true…

supportive the whole appointment from hyping me up to helping me through my overwhelmed tears.

amazing and listened to all of my worries and picked dresses that made me feel supported and beautiful. Her energy was so fun and my family and I loved her and our experience! I had been to several other shops and hands down the service I received here was the best! I really appreciated Geraldine hearing my concerns and suggesting dresses that would support my hope and vision. They had a huge selection of dresses and sizes which also made me feel I made the right choice going there. I can’t wait for when my dress comes in and to wear it on the big day!

isney inspired dresses by Allure. 100% recommend!

ith so many different styles!), but also let us explore on our own! She was so kind and patient with us and answered all of our questions. She listened to all of our preferences and was able to find the perfect next dresses to try on! Would 100% recommend Venturas, and Ms. InTress!!

I also used Ventura's altering services, which were beautifully done. I couldn't have asked for better service each time I visited Ventura's during the gown process. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely choose Ventura's!

e about the styles that worked well for me, and pushed me out of my comfort zone just enough to help me find something that felt truly special. That said, it was a very different experience from some of the other salons I visited on my bridal salon crawl, and I wouldn't say it was a flawless experience. While other places I visited made sure to cover all bases with new brides, providing extra info and answering common questions up front, they relied a little more on me as the bride knowing what questions I should ask, which did cause some small hiccups for me later on like not ordering a veil in time because I wasn't aware it needed to be done with the dress purchase. Ultimately though, it was about the dress and Ventura's has the best options, at the best price of all the six salons I visited on my search for "the dress". I strongly recommend putting a fitting at Ventura's on your list because even if you don't know what to ask yet, it is an unmissable opportunity to leverage their large selection, fair pricing and deep industry knowledge to help you decide what you need in a dress. Like any other larger business, it requires a bit of self-advocation, but you can rest assured they will have highly experienced professionals taking care of you and your dress from day of purchase to day of your wedding and should you need anything (like a last-minute veil for example) all you need to do is ask and they have the inventory to make it happen within a wide range of budgets.

together, my sister did the majority of the work. Beads and bra cups were falling all over the place, the majority of zippers were broken, i unique level of wear and tear but this was not normal. Our appointment was for an hour and a half and after an hour they started turning off the lights, I guess I was the last appointment of the day but it made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. We left feeling like all the dresses there were low quality even if they weren’t just because of the experience.

d to my needs & wants. She sold me a veil on my first visit, then on my second visit, I said yes to the dress. Throughout my visits, I mentioned quite a few times that my small size was a result of stress induced by the pandemic. My stylist took my measurements when ordering the dress & according to the brand's chart, I was a size 0. I commented that I'm not usually that size, but she said "that's what the chart says". I don't buy wedding dresses everyday, so who did I trust with sizing and fit? The stylist... Fast forward to December, just before Christmas. My dress arrived. To my knowledge, since my clothes were still loose as ever over the past 5 months, I hadn't gained weight. But to my horror, I can't even zip the dress up myself. My sister & mother have to help get it all the way up, and once they did, I practically could not BREATHE (this is an A-line dress by the way, not one of those fit-and-flares). I'm not one to cause a scene so I calmly tell her we have a problem b/c I can't even breathe with my dress zipped up. From here, my stylist did a complete 180. She comes up, pulls at the dress and proclaims "there's still give in it!" and "at least you can get the zipper up! I've had girls where they couldn't do that & that's actually when there's a real problem!" Still trying to keep calm, I tell her I'm still very uncomfortable in it regardless of that fact. She then gets on the defensive & says she can measure me again to see if I gained weight but she's sure she measured me correctly & followed the size chart. She measures me & claims I gained an inch on my waist (people later told me that actually takes quite a bit to gain) and I "just need to loose a pound". Why in the world would you tell a 110 lb woman with a 25 in waist that she needs to lose weight to fit in a dress for one of the most important days of her life? My mother was absolutely livid & told her "I don't think we need to be putting pressure on the bride to lose weight for her wedding!" The stylist claimed there's "not much they can do" b/c it "can't be let out" and I'd just have to "wait and see" if I lose the weight & if not "maybe our seamstress can figure something out." We politely refused to keep the dress with them, I paid off the rest of the amount, then I went home & cried my eyes out. Stylists should not be quick to blame the bride if a dress doesn't fit right. If I had gained a whopping 2-3 sizes, yeah that would be on me, but I did not, & to this day I STILL think she either measured me wrong or should have had the sense to order a size up. Even then, you never EVER tell a bride to lose weight! Not if she's a size 10 or a 2! There's too many women with eating disorders as it is.... It would have been WAY easier to take a slightly bigger dress in than to try to let one out. I'm very lucky that I found a great seamstress somewhere else that was able to fix this for me, but this experience made me so scared I still won't be able to fit in the dress on my wedding day that I've been obsessing over what I eat way more than I ever have. Planning a wedding is already stressful enough. The last thing a bride should have to add to her plate is her dress being too small! Ladies, save yourself the tears and go elsewhere....

sy and for my stunning wedding gown!

was the one I chose for my ceremony! I also felt that I got a good bargain! Excellent experience!!!

ere very easy to book with. I highly recommend this salon for any brides, mother-of-the-brides, or bridesmaids!

e perfect dress gives it all. Thank you so much for helping me.

we went a different way & found the one! I would definitely recommend going to Venturas! Thank you again Veronica!

nd style. She listened to what I was looking for and worked really hard to find the perfect style for me! I give her the credit for making my dress shopping experience so easy and, quite honestly, really fun!! I definitely recommend Ventura for anyone looking at dresses in Houston-the experience is really comfortable and easy and they have a good selection of designers and dresses.

a's was where my mother bought her wedding dress almost 30 years ago. I'm so thankful for Ventura's!

e, but not every experience is perfect.

ted in a dress, and she immediately responded, “I know just what dress to pull!” The very first dress she pulled was the dress I bought- she got it exactly right!! I knew as soon as I put it on that it was the one I was looking for. Because I wanted to be absolutely sure in my choice, I asked her to pull more dresses- I tried on about 5 more, and each time I compared it to that first dress. In the end, I put the first dress back on, said yes right away, rang the bell and took my pictures! Intress listened to what I wanted and was so kind and positive. Definitely a great experience. Moreover, I am a plus size bride, so dress fittings can feel daunting, and I can’t pull most sample sizes off the rack, fit in them, and be able to envision how I would look if it were my size. Intress pulled beautiful dresses, in or close to my size, pinned them and clipped them when necessary, and I felt comfortable and beautiful in every dress. Thank you, Intress! I can’t wait to see my dress again in April! ❤️

above my range that I was aware so that I could decide if it was still worth trying on. Her approach to choosing the dress by helping me narrow down the shape helped me realize that the reason I was having trouble finding the dress at other stores was because I was convinced I'd buy a ballgown when I really preferred the look of mermaid dresses. She was extremely accommodating and insightful every step of the way, and ultimately helped me find a dress I truly love.

Virginia was rude and condescending and not much assistance whatsoever. I already knew the dress in which I wanted to purchase and tried a few others simply to make sure that it was THE one (and it was), but I could not bring myself to purchase the dress from this place even though it was a little cheaper even before the 10% discount. Instead I walked out and called another bridal shop (where I initially found the dress) and asked if I could get an appointment by any chance. They were booked but still allowed me to come in, try the dress on again and it is where I made my purchase. Weddings are exciting and stressful no one wants to deal with someone putting a damper on something that is supposed to be a FUN experience ! My family drove down 3hrs to dress shop with me (missing previous ones due to Covid) and I was so annoyed with our experience here. The goal was more than accomplished just not at Venturas unfortunately.

a dress unpaid for!!! It’s harassment . The manager was sketchy was the beginning ! The consultants was nice. My dress was gorgeous. I would have been telling any and every one about this salon. But how dare you call me and harass me. Lying and saying my wedding is in October 2021 when I had my wedding in June 2021 it was never set for that date. I asked her time and time again do she have the right person . And she kept stating she did and mistakes due happen. It’s not possible the owner of the building would allow anyone to make a mistake like this. My dress cost over $1000.

uld notice all the details. I tried on a few dresses and retried a few because I couldn’t decide which one I liked best. She did such a great job that I had 3 dresses to choose from that all looked wonderful on me and I said yes to the dress! And less stress for me! I’m so happy she was my consultant and I would recommend her at Ventura’s bridal for sure!

give up. Ilesha was my Wonder Woman in glitter boots! The lady knows her stuff! She went above and beyond and brought back my excitement. She listened to my preferences and dislikes and returned with a variety of dresses that were exactly what I was looking for. I loved each one it was amazing to have so many to select from especially being plus sized, but not being shaped like a potato. Ilesha was so patient and helped me establish meaningful criteria to select the dress for me. I absolutely said yes to the dress well below the budget. ILESHA IS A ROCKSTAR!!!!

ok my measurements she made sure I would be comfortable with the size and explained the altering process to me. She was also very helpful with staying in my budget. I think I was only there for 45 minutes during this whole process. With my wedding in only 3 months I’m no longer stressing about my dress. Overall very friendly, would highly recommend In’ Tress to help you find your dress!!

to let my family take videos, photos and even Facetime with out of town family.

d your dream dress.

a big selection of designers! In’Tress also gave me a first time bride discount which made buying the dress even that much better! So happy with my experience here

was the third place we had visited to look at wedding dresses and they hit all the marks. Had all the same designers and styles as the more upscale and mid-range/budget stores we had been to at competitive prices that were quite a bit lower than the boutique who had the same dress. They also seem like they could do it all in terms of getting the dress you wanted just how you want it!

I provided her with! She was supportive and helped me stay strong to my gut feeling and was attentive to how I reacted/facial expressions for each dress! She made me feel amazing when she noticed which dress caught my eye and feeling that that was the one I was going to ring the bell! She is fun, sweet, and charismatic! Ladies you will have a blast with Ileisha, and she will make your wedding dress dream come true! She was definitely my fairy god mother! She made me feel so special and that I chose the right dress for myself!!

ia! She’s the manager and so helpful, she was so sweet and really listened to what I had to say. After searching for months and trying on so many dresses I was getting so discouraged. All I have to say is thank you thank you thank you!!

d my dress thanks to her! I highly recommend going to Ventura's Bridal as they have a huge selection of dresses to choose from and when you do go, ask for Ileisha!

t I was looking for better than anyone else I have worked with. She also was able to get it well below my budget which my fiancé and I are now so happy about! THANK YOU ileisha for all of your wonderful help, I am now so much more excited and I can't wait for our wedding day!!

t fit exactly what I was looking for. She was patient and kind and made me feel comfortable through the entire appointment. I did not once feel like she was pushing me to purchase and she genuinely cared about me finding a dress I loved. As I tried on each dress she would discuss what I liked and did not like about them and adjusted the selections accordingly. She truly listened and went out of her way to find exactly what I liked. She also did a wonderful job handling the fact that my Mother and I had very different opinions on what would look best and let us try several different silhouettes. Ventura’s also has an excellent selection of dresses and was one of the few stores to carry a designer I happened to love. I highly recommend coming here for the amount of choices they carry alone. Thank you so much Veronica and Ventura’s for making my wedding dress shopping such a wonderful experience!

in any of the dresses due to COVID-19. Which isn't a huge deal but definitely makes it hard to envision what the dress would look like on you in your size. Aside from that, the consultant was rude! After explaining to the consultant that I did not want a ball gown, she brought me ball gown after ball gown to try on. After showing her dresses of what I liked and again reminding her I didn't want a ball gown, I was told that she was pulling everything they had in my size and if I was a smaller size, that I could try on more dresses. I was near tears. After I struggled with my mother to put on yet another ball gown, I was ignored when I came out of the dressing room. The consultant was busy visiting with another bride. Finally, it was pretty clear she gave up on me. She allowed me, my sister in law, and mother to go in to the stock room to pick out dresses. However I was limited to two racks labeled "curvy brides." When my sister in law found a dress that I really liked, we were told that it was a size 14 and I could try it if I could get it to fit. It fit! And I would've have bought it on the spot but I couldn't imagine allowing this woman to earn commission off me. I went to another shop today and found my dream dress. And since my experience, I've heard other people had similar experiences. It's so disheartening that this happy time in your life is ruined by one nasty person. Go anywhere else.
