Katie made my bridal shopping so welcoming and fun. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community it was nice being able to just be me and experience this part of the wedding planning with out having to worry about judgment or anything. She was very supportive and helpful. My only complaint is I have to many favorites to pick from and have to narrow them down and with just over a year to plan I do t have much time to decide.

Katie made wedding dress preparations absolutely flawless! Everything from the first visit, to checking in about dress alterations, then reminding me to bring my dress back in for a steam the week of my wedding! Katie is so personable and made me feel like I was her one and only VIP every time we talked! I literally don’t know how she does it! I will recommend her every time anyone asks. 10/10. Gold star. Amazing.

The only reason I am even giving this a rating of 2 stars is because the situation was partly our fault for being impulsive. However, I am very disappointed at how the consultant a...
nd management have handled our issue.. what should have been a great day for my daughter turned into an afternoon of being upset. First off our consultant was late in getting there, ( no apologies), secondly my daughter did not find “the dress” but was anticipating returning for the trunk show scheduled for October. She did however purchase a dress ( on impulse) for whatever occasion might arise. After we left, she spoke with her fiancé about the dress and he commented that the extra money that she spent on the dress would be put to better use on the wedding. We were not gone 15 minutes from the store and contacted them back to see if we could return the dress. They said they had to talk to the manager and would get back to us. Very long story short, we were informed the sale was final and we could be issued a store credit. Not only did the consultant not tell us no refunds, but apparently it was in the receipt… I know that buyer beware exists, but 15 minutes away was a tad too much… I guess we have a dress to try to sale since I will not give them my business even for a store credit. In my opinion, this was handled very badly and I just want others to be aware of their policies before they pay out…..

Hello Jackie, we are very sorry to hear you were displeased with your experience at our bo...
utique. Our consultant did arrive at 12pm, which was your scheduled appointment time and did apologize for the delay. There is a plaquard placed directly above our checkout counter that does state all sales are final. Almost 45 minutes after leaving the store, your daughter did reach out regarding the situation and expressed her desire to return the dress, and our consultant did inform her that the owner had just left for vacation but would try to get a response as soon as possible. The next day, we did inform her that because of these things as well as it being a sale dress, the most we can do is offer store credit towards any item in-store to which she declined. We are very sorry for your negative experience, but these are the policies of most bridal shops across the US. Thank you for providing us feedback and the ability to grow from this interaction.

They try to get a feel of your style to make more suggestions to you and are very flexible with you schedule and in my case - my geographic location as I am from GA and would only have a small window to come while I was visiting my family up there in Herrin. They are very fun and the shop is beautiful and cozy. Can't recommend enough! Wedding is in March 2022.
