Wedding Shoppe, Inc.

I never thought would look good on me and it was the one! Go here for your dress!

d person who worked efficiently so that I could try on many different dresses and she really listened to what I wanted. I couldn't have asked for a better experience here. I ended up with a fantastic dress on a great deal off the rack, which the manager approved. All the staff at the front and the management were really helpful and not pushy. They gave me a lot of great resources and recommendations for tailoring. I had an awesome experience. Olivia was amazing. :)

own little room and some privacy and our sales person went out and pulled dresses for me based on what I had showed her. At first I had thought I wanted lace and lots of it but bless her heart, every lace dress I tried on I kept saying “I like it, but….” and she would hand me another one. She gave me a few other options that weren’t lace once she realized that wasn’t *really* what I wanted and I found that I wanted something clean and modern. Towards the end of my appointment (and after what felt like fifty dresses) she mentioned she wanted to try one more. When she came back I audibly gasped and I knew that had to be it. She mentioned she had walked past it a handful of times thinking it would be perfect for me but didn’t pull since I wasn’t originally looking for that. I am SO glad that she did because when I put it on my mom and maid of honor started crying. I didn’t have that crying wow moment that a lot of brides have but I definitely knew it was the one. She was able to get us a deal on the dress and had it ordered in my size and in two or three months it had arrived! I cannot stress enough that you should go in with an open mind and be willing to say “no” if you don’t like something! They are good enough at their jobs that they can find something you will love and adore!

er excited, because I had my eyes on a few dresses from The Wedding Shoppe's website that I was eager to try on. The experience was not welcoming from the beginning. My sales consultant made me feel like an inconvenience from the moment I met her. She first asked me if I had been at any other bridal stores, which I had. She asked to see a picture of the wedding dress I was liking the most from the previous stores, so I showed her. She brought back a few dresses (maybe 3) none of which I liked. After trying on the few dresses, her comment was something like "Well if that other dress is your dream dress and the direction you're heading in just tell me". Ummm, what? First off, I wouldn't be here trying on dresses if I had committed to another dress. My salesperson then acts as if it was an inconvenience that I didn't like the first few dresses she brought. She rudely left the room (without saying anything) and brought back some more dresses. After this round of dresses and not liking any of them, she asked (in a snotty tone) "So describe your dream dress to me" implying that my dream dress didn't exist or I didn't know what I wanted. She then left a few more times rudely to bring back other dresses that were not my style and made me feel completely ugly. Needless to say, she had no bedside manners, didn't make me feel special at all, rushed me the entire time, acted like every time she had to go back down the stairs to get new dresses it was an inconvenience for her. My mom, sister, grandma and. best friend all made the same comments after we left. This is coming from a bride who has been to other bridal shops in the Twin Cities, avoid The Wedding Shoppe. Wedding dress shopping is supposed to be one of the most exciting, special times in your life, and that was NOT the case at all. I left The Wedding Shoppe feeling completely defeated.

ich I of course checked beforehand); and yet still my salesgirl ONLY pulled me dresses that were just about exactly 1500; if not a few hundred more. I understand these girls make commission; but that’s no excuse for poor customer service; let alone shady/ underhanded sales tactics. All the other bridal stores I’ve been to (including more upscale stores w/ higher baseline prices) have been very reasonable when I’ve told them my budget; and pulled me plenty of dresses that were well below it. Speaking of my salesgirl- she was nice enough; but she wasn’t what you expect from a wedding dress consultant. She didn’t appear enthused to work with me; and she wasn’t even particularly attentive. As a matter of fact; I felt quite rushed while I was there; as though she wanted me to say “close enough” & buy one of the first couple dresses that she brought out for me. She also wasn’t particularly good at measuring me; and kept trying to convince me to buy a dress that was going to be a size or two bigger than I needed. Moving on from the customer service; to the store itself now- I was incredibly disappointed that they wouldn’t allow me to search through their racks. I had an idea of what I wanted to buy; but I also told my salesgirl right away that I was keeping an open mind & wanted to try on a variety of things. Not being able to search for a dress I liked really limited the experience & limited the dresses I was being given as well. In spite of my telling her that I wanted to keep an open mind; my salesgirl only pulled me the type of dress that I mentioned I was leaning towards (a mermaid dress). Thank god I had the good sense not to buy the dress she was pushing on me; because when I later when to a&be bridal ( I got to pull all kinds of different dresses off the racks & realized that what I really wanted wasn’t a mermaid dress; but a ball gown (which is basically the polar opposite). Not to mention the fact that these 1500-1700 dollar mermaid dresses my salesgirl was pulling for me felt cheap- the lace looked like it was pasted on by a 1st grader who’d just cut up his grandmas old-ass curtains. It itched, it chafed, and the material under it also felt cheap- stiff, tight, and uncomfortable. The dress I wound up buying from a&be was such a higher quality of dress; and it was only $1200 (with no hidden fees). Which brings me to the hidden fees. AFTER I heaved a sigh & picked a “close enough” dress to put on hold; my salesgirl disclosed to me that the dress- which was ALREADY a hundred dollars over my budget; was actually going to cost me a few hundred more. For one thing there was going to be damn near a hundred dollars in shipping (even though it would take upwards of 4 months to ship to me)- but the real kicker was that I’d have to pay a $50 “service fee” to get the store to order the dress from the designer for me. Sorry but that sounds like some made up bullshit used to squeeze extra money out of their customers. NONE of the other bridal stores I’ve been to have a policy that’s anything like that. You can easily find better dresses being sold for better prices in better shops w/ better customer service. I’d recommend a&be or Vow’d; but above all I would NOT recommend The Wedding Shoppe.

hen we were trying to place our order (I.e. pay them!) was EXTREMELY rude. I almost walked out without placing the order. Pretty much ruined the entire experience.

tried it on there. I called to order my dress through the Wedding Shoppe with a discount which was less expensive than the other place. I got nothing but help along the way. They made appointments for my bridesmaids right away and got everyone their perfect dresses. I am now going there for bridesmaid dresses for my friends weddings!

t was the one pulling dresses. The second time we went to look at some of the favorites and try on new ones, it was PACKED. We had the same stylist, but it seemed like she was working with at least two other groups. Since we weren't allowed to browse the collection by ourselves (even though some sample racks were RIGHT NEXT to us) we sat waiting for a long time and could only try on a few dresses. The stylist, who was nice the first time, seemed stressed out and annoyed. When I went to try on bridal dresses, I was very clear with them that I'd already tried on 50+ dresses at other stores and I knew exactly what I wanted, but couldn't find it in a dress. I asked to look through the dresses myself, and of course they said no. I showed them about 5 pictures from their website that I liked, and they said they didn't carry those anymore. So since the stylist had to schlep up and down several flights of stairs to get dresses, we had a lot of wait time. She chose the dresses, and they were kinda what I asked for. However, she brought one totally opposite of what I wanted to try, as "something different." That would have been fine if it didn't take away time from trying on styles I really did like. In the end, I tried on maybe 7-8 dresses, the fewest of any store I went to. I was honestly so angry and upset when we left. Why would they brag about having a large selection if they don't even let you LOOK at it!? I have no idea if there were any dresses I'd actually like, since there was no way to look at the collection and the staff had to guess what I would like. Waste of time.

also found a veil for me that matched the lace design perfectly. Highly recommend the Wedding Shoppe!

we said we liked. The staff also made awesome recommendations on accessories to go with my dress as well. Everything was quick and easy and the dresses were pretty affordable!

three seamstresses in the area.

ing at all! The Wedding Shoppe made me feel so comfortable and after trying on several dresses in two other shops, the first dress they chose for me at The Wedding Shoppe, Inc was the one! I tried several more on but kept going back to that first dress. I didn’t have a good idea of what I was looking for but they nailed it and made it a fun time!

rrived I was told it had been lost in transit. I had been waiting for over two weeks for it and couldn’t get a straight answer from anyone over the phone. I googled wedding shops nearby and of course The Wedding Shoppe popped up with several likes, stars, and positive comments. I just knew this is where I’d find a dress quickly. When I arrived I was greeted by friendly faces with a sincere desire to help me in finding the perfect dress for my daughters wedding just 8 days away. I know, right!!?? Needless to say, there were a few tears and the gals quickly went to work in finding me a dress that I would love!! Upon finding a dress that I really liked, we all FaceTimed my daughter together and showed her. She too loved it, but said, “Mom, you don’t have to stick to navy.” With that she quickly forwarded pics of the guys suits and gals dresses. My extremely patient sales gal said, “I have the perfect dress!” She ran downstairs to a shipment that had just arrived and pulled out the perfect dress. Doubting it would fit (it was an 8 and I’m a 10-12) she urged me to try it. It seriously fit as if it had been tailored for me. I love it and now know I can relax and enjoy the day just 7 days away, comfortable and feeling great! Thanks again ladies!!

o try and then added a few others styles that I loved trying on as well. A little high/over my budget, but I loved my gown and wouldn't have changed my decision.

ixed it right up. Staff was friendly and helpful for finding the right dress for me.

g a good selection of dresses for me to try. I did end up finding the perfect dress here and I am SO happy about my choice! It was everything I wanted for in a dress. Also loved that they were offering a extra discount the day I was in. The only weird thing that happened was that it was only after I paid for the dress that the contract about returns/size ordering/etc. was presented to me. Figured that would be shown and gone over with me before I put my card in but I suppose I was too excited about everything going on I didn't really think twice about it. Totally trust that this will be the right size and everything I just thought that was a little odd. Otherwise, everything was great!

or did not like about each dress (I'm terrible at critiquing, especially when every option is just as gorgeous as the last). Beautiful unique location, friendly and helpful staff, overall great experience!

dresses, and loved their prices! Wedding Shoppe, you made this experience amazing!

g with me was one of the things she's wanted to do most. The Wedding Shoppe was so, so understanding about our situation and accommodating to our needs -- they made sure we had an appointment at time of day when few other customers were in, gave us a secluded area to try on dresses, and wiped down the whole suite before we got there. And then we had a truly delightful time trying on beautiful dresses, with our helpful and knowledgeable attendant Megan! I'm a picky bride who did a lot of dress shopping before finding the one, but this was by far the best experience I had along the way and would recommend this great place to anyone.

t just came in that day! I literally felt like a princess here! My guests had a great time! I even said yes to the dress! highly highly recommended! Prices range from all over!
