The only place I would recommend to other brides! My experience was perfect at Vows. My stylist and I had a convo at the start of the appointment about what I liked, what I had tri...
ed on so far, etc. I showed her some pics as well. She immediately grabbed 2 dresses to try and they ended up being my top 2!! We still got to have the full shopping experience and I didn't feel at all pressured, but her dress picks were exactly what I was looking for. I was really torn between the two and my stylist was amazing at helping guide me through the decision. I left feeling so confident and excited :) 1000/10 these stylists are true professionals

I found my dream dress at VOWS!! Hannah was my stylist, and she was truly incredible. She is genuine, intuitive, and exceptionally talented at what she does. She really listened to...
my thoughts and feelings about each dress and thoughtfully selected new options based on my feedback from previous try-ons. Hannah was amazing at narrowing down the many choices until I finally found my dream dress.
Unlike some of the more sales-focused experiences I had at other stores, Hannah was never pushy or over-the-top. She was professional, knowledgeable, and sincere throughout the entire process. She never pressured me and always made me feel comfortable and supported, which I truly appreciated. Thank you so much, Hannah!

VOWS was the third and final salon that I went to. I loved my experience there, and was thrilled to find my dress. The inventory is fantastic, and my stylist was so helpful in pull...
ing my top dress from another salon, as well as similar styles. When it came time to decide, she was super accommodating in showing me the dress I loved in my size, while holding up a different size of the same dress with the lining color I preferred. I don’t live in the area, and VOWS made sure my dress got shipped to me out-of-state in perfect condition! I would highly recommend VOWS for a great dress shopping experience.

uickly came out to apologize about the mix up, as did the other attendants at the front desk (all about how you recover!). This was my second dress appointment, and I was nervous about the entire process. Insert - Christina. Christina made the process so fun, positive, and relaxed. She made me feel like a true 'baddie' in every dress I tried on but still was honest. She ended up picking my winning dress by taking all of my feedback from the other dresses I tried on. It was the final dress I tried on, and it ended up being THE ONE. I had booked a second appointment that day elsewhere and ended up cancelling it, as I had the winner. It was seriously a perfect day for me and my group, and I kept smiling the whole rest of the day.

room and pick styles we liked and after hearing reviews on the dressed I originally tried on she went back into the showroom and with her magic touch pulled dresses that she felt fit the bill. And she was right, the dress I went with was pulled from Deirdre! Thank you for making an experience I was dreading enjoyable and not stressful.

ar ones just in case I wanted something a little different. She made me feel so special and worked with me to sort through how each dress made me feel. Once getting to "The One", I was led to a big mirror and she added a veil and a bouquet to help the vision- definitely an emotional experience which helped solidify my decision to buy my dress that day. Can't recommend them enough!

I had such a wonderful experience at VOWS. I felt a warm welcome from the second we stepped into the store. Christina J went above and beyond in helping me find the right dress. I ...
never felt pressured or rushed, and could tell how much she genuinely cared. If it weren't for her, I would never have found my dream dress, as it wasn't on my radar or something I would have chosen myself by looking at it. I am so incredibly grateful for her support, knowledge, and kindness. It made for an unforgettable experience. We visited several other places, and nothing else came close to VOWS!

ttable. She was such a vibe—personable, warm, and fun. We chatted not only about my style and vision for my dress, but also about how I met my fiancé and even her own wedding back in 2020. That personal connection made the appointment feel so authentic.
What I appreciated most was how Catie really listened to what I wanted. This was the second store I had visited, and she made sure I felt confident and heard every step of the way. Together, we created magic through creativity, and everything came together perfectly—I said YES to my dress!
Thank you, VOWS and Catie, for making such a special moment in my wedding journey absolutely perfect. I look forward to sharing my wedding photos with you and the VOWS team! 💍✨

last stop at a bridal salon, and I cannot recommend their services enough! I am over the moon with the stunning dress and veil I bought, which the stylist Aly thoughtfully picked out to go together. Everyone we met was tremendously kind, helpful, patient, and encouraging, which helped melt away the anxiety I was feeling as I entered the dress shopping process. Aly took the time to break down how the appointment would run, listen to my desires and preferences, how the pricing and organization systems worked throughout the store, and later what I could expect in terms of tailoring. Aly made sure that I was feeling confident, beautiful, and excited about every dress I put on (even if I was indecisive), and if I didn’t, then the dress wasn’t for me! All the women working there were super chill, knowledgeable, and supportive! I never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision or to purchase from them. But I am so glad I did! Vows has exceptional, professional services and an extensive, top-notch selection of gowns and bridal accessories. Every detail felt thought of and addressed with care.

ent I found the dress I loved but didn't want to purchase without exploring other options just incase. I ended up going back to Vows because my initial experience with Liuba was so positive and I knew my perfect dress was there. My bridal party also accompanied me which made it lots of fun. The suites are beautiful and spacious. This was one of the best parts of my wedding planning!

She genuinely listened to what I was looking for and helped guide me to the dress—one that I completely fell in love with and felt entirely myself in. Her encouragement and thoughtful insight helped me feel confident and firm in my decision, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
Finding my wedding dress was such a special moment, and thanks to Hannah, it’s one I’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a bridal experience that is supportive, empowering, and filled with heart—VOWS and Hannah are everything you could hope for.

Vows was my third and final stop on a long day of dress shopping. At this point, my family members, and I were pretty tired and burnt out. However, my stylist, Katie B, immediately...
set the tone with welcoming high energy and got us excited to get back into it. Katie was phenomenal at asking the right questions to understand exactly what I was looking for and picked dresses right on target. Here, you’re able to shop the aisles yourself, in addition to your stylist, pulling gowns, which I think is a really great way to make you feel like you’ve considered every option. Throughout trying on dresses, Katie was incredibly present and we were so impressed by her ability to help me narrow down exactly what I did and did not like. Through her process, she was ultimately able to pull a dress that I had not previously considered, which I ended up, saying yes to! The inventory here is beautiful and expansive, and the shop itself is large and airy with comfortable and private dressing, rooms and mirrors. The experience was truly wonderful, and I would recommend every bride to shop at vows.
