Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique

whole group felt so uncomfortable, we left before even trying anything on. Shelby had been texting me the night before my appointment, inquiring about the other bridal shops I had been to & asked me to send pictures of dresses I liked. I complied with her messages & let her know the style I was going for. She proceeded to go over pricing (again, even though she stated that when I made my appointment) and made it clear that they do not take check. I drove 1.5 hours to make my 9 am appointment. I arrived at 9:07, as there was construction leading into Dubuque. I even replied to Shelby to let her know my situation. When we arrived, we were treated as though we were 30+ minutes late. There was no warm, formal introduction or tour around the shop. I was rudely asked how many other places I had been to & if I had found anything I love at the other places. They immediately sent me back to the dressing room & informed me that they had pulled some dresses for me to try on. My Mom followed me back to the dressing room, but was quickly told to go sit out in the viewing room. When I asked if she could stay back with me, the assistant questioned me - “why would she need to stay, I don’t understand.” The lady assisting me even walked out & brought Shelby back to confront me about asking my Mom to stay. I asked if that was a problem & they both made a huge deal about my request, but proceeded to let her stay. My Mom felt so uncomfortable. When it came time to try on the dresses, I was told to “strip down” in front of the lady assisting me. I politely asked her if she could step out while I got undressed & before I could even finish talking she stormed out of the dressing room. She walked out to Shelby & proceeded to bad mouth my Mom & I in front of my group who were waiting in the next room. We could hear everything. It was so awkward that my Mom looked at me & said, “Maybe we should just leave”. We grabbed our stuff & informed them that we were going to head out. The assistant proceeded to tell my Mom that “we just can’t have you back there when you’re not certified to handle our dresses”. My Mom was simply sitting in the corner chair providing emotional support. Of all the shops I’ve been to, none of the others said a word about her being with me. I was in complete shock. I couldn’t imagine treating my customer with such aggressively, rude behavior. It was very clear that I was just a sale. We were obviously uncomfortable, but they provided no apologetic words to follow. It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.

a dress that's beautiful and comfortable! Their space is perfect for what they do and makes a great little wedding boutique. They only take one appointment at a time so all their attention is focused on you, so it makes for a very personalized experience. That and their dedication of helping you find the right dress, and how they celebrate when you do just makes finding "The Dress" a very special occasion. I am so happy I was able to have that experience with them.

another thing I love! Supporting those who support others!) and truly felt like it was a dream. Shelby had messaged me a few days before my appointment asking for ideas of what I was liking and envisioning for my dress. When I got there, Judy (Shelby’s mom) was so fantastic! She was truly the best hype lady and allowed me to feel so confident and comfortable during my appointment! After finding the one, shedding some tears, and saying yes to my dress, we celebrated with a champagne toast! Truly a day I’ll never forget.

ed that for myself! Shelby reached out to me about a week before my appointment and asked for pictures of my favorite dresses from her collection that I wanted to try on. When it was time for my appointment, Judy (Shelby’s mom) was such an amazing help! We started trying on and talking about what I liked and didn’t like and Judy grabbed a dress off the rack and that was my dream dress! I recommend Vintage Chic to everyone!

e. I fell in love with the first one I put on in her store! Seriously I can’t recommend going to her enough! The store is absolutely adorable, and the appointment time worked out so we had the store to ourselves which just made the experience just more special and comfortable! 💕

!) The sales consultants were so kind and knowledgeable. They absolutely nailed my style with every dress they pulled for me. The shop and experience was so unique, I'll cherish it forever. A+ experience.

intment ran very smooth and the Boutique is beautiful 😍! Best experience by far, thanks so much VCBB!!! LOVE MY DRESS!!!

omfortable and confident in everything I tried on! I actually did not plan to get my dress the day I was there because it was still early and I was “just searching”, but I ended up falling in love with my dress. At that appointment, I was not able to have my mom and sister with me so it was hard for me to say yes right then. Shelby was very patient and let me feel all of my emotions. We ended up video calling my mom and sister, and I was able to say yes to the dress with them on the call! Her patience and kindness with me while I talked to my mom and sister made my “yes” moment very special! She is such a gem to work with and has so many beautiful gowns! I highly recommend Shelby and her adorable boutique!

res for her brides and even helps find accessories and has recommendations for alterations. She made my dress dreams come true!!!!

ay yes. I asked to try a complete opposite style than what I was trying and the second she got it zipped, I fell in love. My entourage wasn't as in love with the dress as I was and Shelby made sure that I kept my positive feelings on it and didn't let everyone else's opinions get the best of me! I could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Vintage Chic Bridal Boutique to any brides-to-be! Having her support in picking out a phenomenal dress will definitely make our September 2023 wedding that much more amazing!

all while being respectful of my budget! There were so many dresses to choose from including a variety of sizes and styles. I loved the one on one appointment, the atmosphere was so relaxed and we all had a great time. I wouldn’t recommend going anywhere else!

esses pulled waiting for me. She knew exactly what I wanted. I literally bought the 2nd dress I tried on! I also think there prices are great! I definitely thought the dress I ended up with would have cost me more then it did. I would recommend vintage chic to all future brides!

f and only have your closest people present and viewing! This store was far above and beyond my 5 other store experiences. I would recommend this shop to everyone!

ll not disappoint you! 💞

ght away! I highly recommend getting your wedding dress here!

ress at Vintage Chic! Highly, highly, highly recommend!

d me in and out of each dress (and ran around like crazy getting more). She was respectful to me Privacy and I felt extremely comfortable. She helped me find the perfect dress - even though it was the complete opposite from every dress I liked in photographs. There was no pressure to hurry, and she helped me find the words to explain what I didn't like about dresses. She went out of my comfort zone and found THE dress. I will be referring any future brides her way!

my one and only stop for the search of my wedding dress! I cannot wait to wear my gown again on my special day August of 2022, Thank you so much Shelby & employees for giving me a day I'll remember for a lifetime to come! Highly recommend Vintage Chic Bridal.
