bride.

sh charges were incurred because my wedding is on 9/11/21, and I needed my dress by the end of July 2021 to ensure adequate time for routine alterations prior to the wedding. My measurements were taken, and the dress shop recorded that I did not need extra length in writing. I chose this dress based on trying on a sample of the same dress in the shop. I became uneasy when I was informed that FedEx had lost my dress on 7/22, after shipment on 7/15. My dress finally arrived the evening of 7/26, eight days after the 7/18 date I was originally given. I immediately took the dress to my seamstress, who was recommended by friends in the area. She informed me that it could not be altered, because the bodice had been cut so short that it did not even cover my breasts. This was only a height issue. The seamstress’ only solution was that material could be taken from the hem and added below the waistline, creating a “belt” to increase the length of the bodice, but this would ruin the look of the dress and be cost- and time-prohibitive. She was also working with a bride with the same problem from Sarah Seven! I immediately contacted Bride, showing side-by-side pictures of me in the sample at Bride with the appropriate length bodice, me in the dress they sent (showing that it hit below the breasts with a bra to cover the nipple area), and an image from Sarah's website showing a model wearing the dress with the intended fit. Bride responded that I wasn’t properly wearing the dress, which was false, as a professional seamstress had fitted the dress and taken the photos. They asked for additional photos and video, then wrote back to say “skip that step” and instead go to a seamstress of their choosing, or they wouldn't believe me. Their top choice initially said she couldn't squeeze me in, due to the timing of my wedding. The second choice was a seamstress with a very negative reputation who required a deposit, so I chose not to work with her. I ended calling and texting Bride’s top choice until she kindly made time for a consultation within four days of the dress shop’s communications. Just from reviewing the photos I sent of the dress (taken by the first seamstress), this seamstress was able to determine that the bodice was cut too short and unalterable, which I had in writing and relayed to Bride. I again asked Bride for a refund at that time. They refused and still required an in person visit to their seamstress, so I complied. At the consultation, the seamstress again stated and documented in writing that the bodice was cut too short and the dress was unalterable. She was also currently working on a dress with exactly the same problem for another bride. Immediately upon exiting the dress shop (midday on 8/8/21), I provided a copy of the seamstress’ document to the Bride. I again requested a refund. I did not hear a reply from them until Wed, 8/11, when they told me that the dressmaker was making me a new dress. I refused this, as it is not possible to receive it and have routine alterations done prior to my 9/11/21 wedding. Bride continues to deny a refund for any part of the fees, including the rush charges, shipping, the seamstress consultation fee, the future charges for rush alterations, and the dress! They have never even apologized for the manufacturing defect.

ion bucks. They never for one second made me feel pressured to make a decision and were very transparent with me about my options. I visited another bridal salon in the area immediately after my appointment at bride that made me feel pressured and rushed and literally ran from that salon back to bride and back into the dress that I couldn't get out of my head. I felt like an absolute bombshell on my wedding day and couldn't have done it without these girls and this salon. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment ASAP!

are legitimate works of art. It wasn’t long before I found my “one” and they were just as pumped for me as my family was. They made me feel so special throughout the entire process. Their accessories should also be noted. Each item is such great quality and really made the entire look come together! I recommend to all my closest friends.

and it has been very difficult for me to put my experience into words. After a lot of thinking, I decided that I would list a couple of points that I would like brides planning to shop at Bride. to know. 1. You will be treated like a princess until you order your dress and pay them a tip. Then YOU will have to go out of your way to pick up your dress. Especially if you are from out of town. 2. When you order your dress, you are signing a contract agreeing to the measurement that they take. 3. If the dress comes in too small, Bride. WILL NOT help you. You will be stuck with a dress that does not fit. 4. Plan to pay a significant amount for alterations even after being measured by a professional and paying extra for a split-sized dress. The dress that I ordered from Bride. was not able to be fixed. I do not live in KC so I went to another alteration professional that I have successfully used for years. She was not able to get the dress to fit me and I was forced to buy another dress. I do not and will not recommend Bride. I think they have a good selection of simple bridal gowns in the KC area, but if you choose to buy your dress here you need to be aware of what your experience could be.

d, the selection of dresses is incredible. I had previously visited another bridal shop and did not find one dress that I liked. But at bride. I-no exaggeration- loved every single one. My stylist, Rachel, was so kind and real. She was great with pulling all different options, listening to my comments on each dress, and helping me narrow my top picks down (because every dress was beautiful). They were also really great about still making my appointment a special experience during Covid-19 times. I was a little nervous to try on wedding dresses with a mask on, but they truly made me feel both safe and special. I felt so supported and beautiful at bride. I CANNOT WAIT to go back and try on my dress again when it comes in. I wish I could go back and do the whole experience over again, because it was so much fun and so wonderful. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed, beautiful experience in finding your dream dress, absolutely go to bride. You will not regret it!

work with and did a great job of pulling options they thought I would like & also encouraging me to try on some things I didn’t think I would like (& of course ended up loving.) They truly want the best for you & they celebrate in a big way when you say “yes!” They also did a great job of communicating with me when my dress was shipped & ready for me to try on in shop! They have a good price range & very unique selection of dresses!!

o helpful through the entire process and there was no pressure at all to purchase a dress. They actually want brides to be happy and feel beautiful. My mom and I had such a great experience with these ladies and ANYONE who is looking for a dress, RUN TO THIS STORE. I drove from Saint Louis and would make the drive a million times over.

ee words how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. I gave her those words and she brought them to life in the dresses that I tried on. I loved SO MANY dresses at bride. I could have been more than ecstatic with at least four of the dresses I tried on. I ended up picking my perfect dress at bride. and felt like a rockstar on my wedding day. Laura and the bride. girls - THANK YOU for making me feel like the most glamorous version of myself. I cannot thank you all enough!!! I would recommend bride. to anyone and everyone looking for a dress!

it was a good place to start. Not only did I find my dress, I found many dresses that I loved! All of the gowns were in perfect condition! They helped me choose a veil that went perfectly with my dress. I will recommend this store to any bride!

er - Sarah Seven). They made the experience everything I was hoping for. They asked what I was looking for and brought different dresses for me to try, adjusting as we went until we found the ONE. It looked so good that my husband cried when he saw me walking down the aisle. They also were quick to respond to emails and gave great suggestions for alterations. Be sure to check them out!

found out that Bride. was the only shop in town who carried them. After making my appointment, the whole experience was a dream. The shop is the cutest Pinterest dreamland you can imagine, and Laura couldn't be sweeter. It was so laid back, and my group and I had a blast sipping champagne and browsing the dresses. I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted going into it, and I liked a lot of what I was trying on, but the Laura knew what was up, and pulled a dress from left field at the end. I literally told her "I will look like a linebacker in that" ... and yet once that baby was on, we all lost it! But alas, I suck at decisions, and I had another appointment and needed some time to think. They were so sweet and understanding and let me come back a few days later to put it on again just to make sure I KNEW! Really I might have just wanted to come hang out with them again... :) They also carry the best line of fun and different bridal jewelry. I actually ended up buying the exact earrings Laura picked out to go with my dress. Seriously can't speak about this place highly enough, and I CANNOT wait to wear my dress!

at Bride and fell in love with so many of the dresses that I tried on. I already booked appointments elsewhere and went to check out their dresses, but nothing compared to Bride. Laura is the best! She is so kind, patient, and totally chill! During the whole process, she makes you feel like you’re one of her friends and she’s tagging along to help you find a dress. Yet, she’s a total expert and knew just the vibe I was going for! She made me feel so at ease! I am so lucky to have found Bride and can’t thank you enough, Laura!

esigners in KC and they’re very unique and gorgeous! I would highly recommend BRIDE KC to any bride!

the style I wanted and overall, I wanted something classy yet low-key. After visiting 5 places in Kansas City, 5 in St. Louis and 2 in Houston, I really thought I wasn't going to find my dream dress… but then, enter BRIDE. & Laura. From the moment I walked into the doors at BRIDE., I knew it was the place where I'd purchase my dress. At first glance, you can't help but marvel at the cutest shop in the world. Seriously, Laura's style and music taste is just impeccable. But after chatting with Laura for just a minute, she puts you at ease. I felt so comfortable and knew it would be the best experience and it was. I visited BRIDE by myself first since my mom and sister live in St. Louis. Laura was so patient with me knowing I would have to make a follow up appointment with my family. When that appointment came around, it was just the best day ever. Laura greeted the whole gang with her genuine smile and a big ole bottle of champagne for us to split. I had two dresses I was torn between and pulled a wild card - and you know it, landed on the wild card! Laura, is a gem for bringing this shop to Kansas City. I truly feel BRIDE. has the most cutting edge, classic, modern and comfortable (I could do high kicks in my dress!!) than any other shop. My dress buying experience was wonderful which ultimately made me feel beautiful on my big day!

s was! You have to schedule a fitting with them!

ress, she was supportive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. I felt so comfortable with her, and my dress made me feel exactly as I wanted to on the day. If you're looking for a different, laid-back experience to dress shopping - this is the place to go - you will not be disappointed!

g into BRIDE was a breath of fresh air. The aesthetic is impeccable and dresses are even better. But the best part was that Laura was so nice and made me feel so comfortable, which is exactly what you want when looking for your dream dress. I had such a pleasant experience, I wish I could visit Laura at BRIDE everyday! Not to mention, I received so many compliments on the dress :)

states, countless bridal shops, and seriously, NOTHING even compared to the overall experience I got shopping with Laura at BRIDE. Right when I walked in I was greeted with a friendly smile and hello, and felt so comfortable. I am not a small gal, and Laura made me feel so fabulous regardless. She let me try on whatever dresses I wanted to try on, and not just what she thought I should try on. I never felt rushed, and it felt like I was just trying on dresses with a friend. I cannot even recommended BRIDE enough. If you are loooming for the best dresses and by far the best experience. This is the place.

e looking for a unique, often modern take on the bridal gown, look no further! The space itself was also lovely, and Laura was very knowledgeable. If you're not the flouncy ball gown-type, save yourself a lot of time by stopping here first!

rything's hidden in the back) and the selection is wonderfully curated. Laura is sweet, welcoming and her calmness is an awesome addition to what can sometimes be a stressful day. I showed her a few styles I liked, and she pulled a few additional dresses for me in my price range that she thought I'd like. I never felt rushed or pressured and she picked the most BEAUTIFUL veil to pair with my gown. Laura and her beautiful shop brought me my dream gown <3 TL;DR: Go here to shop for your wedding dress. You will not be disappointed!

mind, but also had me try on some I never though I would like! Everyone in my bridal party had a great time here. So glad I found this place!!

my appointment, she remembered me and was so kind and really took the time to get to know me and what I was after. Laura put pieces together that usually you wouldn’t think about (headpieces, skirts, bodysuits, etc.) she’s truly a genius. She’s also very good at listening to what the bride wants while still pleasing the squad 😍. If you want the dress shopping experience like the movies but still something that’s so ‘yours’ GO HERE!

's store is trendy and so unique. Which for me was absolutely great. I did not want the traditional feel nor did I want a large box store. Her salon really fit my personal style and everything was simply gorgeous. Lindsay is also amazing!!! She helped me with trying on dresses and she was SO great. She is such a cool and laid back person, it really helped make my day more calm and relaxing. We had fun and chatted the whole time. She also did such a great job of trying to help me figure out what I was looking for and helped me feel confident in everything I tried. Another noteworthy comment, BRIDE far exceeded the standards in their quality of dresses. Each dress they pulled was beautiful and felt expensive and luxurious without carrying a hefty price tag. They also stayed open late for me at the end of the day so I could come back in after I realized my dress was there! It was the perfect end to my day. I only wish I had spent more time there soaking it all in lol. Laura and Lindsay thank you for making my day so special!!!

le of the city, with designers that are unique and exceptional. I found my Pinterest dress in her shop and we were both nervous about trying it on first, so she showed me some alternatives she thought I would like, which I did, but when it came time to try on the Pinterest dress we both knew it was THE ONE. She was just as excited as I was! That's what make her and BRIDE. so special. Laura has worked hard to create a space for the modern bride and it shows.

y modern, clean, structured gowns. Highly recommend when on your dress hunt!

e beautiful space with my mom and friends. Laura made the experience so personal. I can't say enough wonderful things about her! I would recommend BRIDE to anyone who asks.

e who had tried on dresses and had a pretty good idea of what I wanted I was torn over a couple of gowns. I felt like she completely listened to what I wanted and helped me find THE dress. She even put up with my 5 friends who assisted me (Laura, sorry that they are so loud : )

r I felt at ease in the laid back environment Laura has created. The experience was everything I could've dreamed of and more. Thanks Laura for your help and expertise. I can't wait for my dress to arrive!

with and she helped me find the dress of my dreams from designer Daughters of Simone. I would recommend everyone going to BRIDE!!

he industry and her warm personality, she is the perfect person to help guide you through this big milestone. Plus, her shop is so comfortable and so cool. This is the shopping experience you'll want. I made the trip from St. Louis back in October. At the start of my appointment, Laura asked me what three words I wanted for my dress - unique, modern and myself. Boy, did she deliver. I could have chosen any dress from her rack and been over the moon. I ended up purchasing a Tatyana Merenyuk top and skirt - it was perfect. I just got married about 2 weeks ago and I received so many compliments on my dress. Thank you Laura for all your help! You made my wedding day complete. :)

s to take a peak at her salon and was blown away by how comfortable and fun the experience was, it was very different from other places I had been! After purchasing a dress and changing it half way through because I found out I was pregnant, Laura was right there with her patience and got my full deposit back to go towards another dress. I was blown away by the service provided and by my new amazing dress : )

is just down right genuine and truly cares about your wedding day and your gown shopping experience as a whole. She has such a unique variety of dresses and from the very moment you walk into the shop, it's like you're family. Out of all the gown shops I went to, BRIDE exceeded every single expectation. I can't say enough beautiful things about this gem and I have sent all my recently engaged friends to her shop as well!

s first questions for me was about how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. It was a simple question but the dresses she pulled based on my answer were incredible. Throughout my appointment, Laura was attentive, listened to my feedback and read my face even when I didn't say anything. She was never pushy, but gave me the freedom to be honest about how I felt about each dress. I ended up with a custom Truvelle wedding dress and it was everything I could have dreamed of. When it was delivered with a minor hiccup, I never worried because I knew Laura would handle it effortlessly. Every step of the way, Laura was professional and personal. Honestly I wish I had more reasons to shop at BRIDE. because it was a wonderful experience! I was so lucky to have had Laura guide me through the wedding dress hunt and I will forever send every bride I meet her way!

ess. The dresses at BRIDE are unique, affordable, well made, and absolutely stunning. If Laura sold other items of clothing, I would literally be in there once a week - that's how beautiful her store is.

nt her beforehand. There was absolutely no pressure. She is genuine and wonderful to work with. It was one of the best experiences of my entire wedding planning experience! Go here!

she has gone out of her way to make sure my dress turns out perfect. (Plus, her shop is an adorable boho dream) Good vibes all around! Completely recommend!

ou from going here! If you are a romantic, like lace, unique/one-of-a-kind dresses, definitely add BRIDE. to your list of bridal salons to visit. Laura is such a gem. She reminds me of a down-to-earth Lauren Conrad (in looks and style) with a sweetheart personality. Her shop is truly one of a kind and one you don't want to miss!

od enough for her or her gem of a bridal shop. I am lucky to have found not only the dress of my dreams, but also made a friend along the way. After visiting 9 other bridal stores around the Missouri/Kansas area I was losing all hope. I stumbled upon the BRIDE website and I could instantly tell this place was something different...something special. I was able to make an appointment quickly, and was warmly greeted with an awesome playlist, great lighting, and the most beautiful, and down-to-earth lay out and vibe that I could hope for. Laura had wedding dresses and designers that no one else in the area did. I just knew this would be where I'd find my wedding dress. She was so patient with me, and believe me, my indecisiveness was definitely rearing it's ugly little head and yet it didn't seem to phase her. When I put on "the one" we both just knew. It was the best experience ever. She is so knowledgeable and a genuine good soul. I decided on a Truvelle jaw dropper because I wanted something different, and if it wasn't for BRIDE I would have never been able to find it. Even with a custom change made, my dress was affordable, and able to be shipped to me in Georgia (my new home) all within 6 months of my wedding (yes, she made it happen!!) My wedding was just recently, October 23rd, and all I can say is, this little number was everything, and more. I highly recommend BRIDE KC.

on every single one but luckily I found my dress within the first handful. She also had great accessories whether your a bride or not!

onality and sweet nature. Not to mention the space is gorgeous. On top of all that--every single dress she carries is absolutely amazing. You will not find gowns like these anywhere else in KC! I ended up purchasing the second gown I tried on, but I wanted to try on every single gown she carries because they are all so DIFFERENT! If you are looking for a fun, laid-back shopping experience with unique gowns--this is your spot!

creates an atmosphere that embraces the nostalgic and elegant, the artistic and unique. The store owner, Laura, was such a joy to work with each time I paid this shop a visit. When I eventually found my dream wedding dress at a different boutique, I was a little was saddened to not have bought my dress at BRIDE because my experience here far exceeded that of any other bridal salon. The warm friendly atmosphere and the attention to detail regarding the shop's own personal branding make for a wonderfully unique experience. I cannot recommend this shop enough.
