Brides By Elizabeth

ch love and attention. This place hands down was the best!!

o helpful from the very beginning and understood my vision for my wedding dress. She found the perfect dress for me! I got so many compliments on my wedding dress and nobody could believe how affordable the price was!! The dress was amazing quality! I loved coming into the boutique to talk with Theresa. She is an amazing person with so many interesting life experiences. She truly lives to serve her clients and everyone in her life!

erfect dress! They love and care! Teresa is amazing and so hands on! And many of dresses I tried on I had not seen anywhere else in San Antonio! Don’t settle come here to find your dream dress !

hat did not match, the design was going in a completely different direction, and it did not flow with the dress at all. What should have been a fun and exciting day, was nothing but disaster and heartbreak. I would not wish this on any other bride!

nt extra time showing me what the dress would look like altered, bolstered, what it would look like if I added more lace or beads to make it sparkle more, and anything I wanted to look at. I couldn’t have enjoyed this experience anymore and I highly recommend purchasing your dress at Brides by Elizabeth.

d they accommodate my needs, they were so pleasant to work with and extremely knowledgeable. I can’t wait to pick my dress up from them. Don’t look over this place..it’s perfect!

and beyond to help redesign my mom’s old wedding dress to wear at my rehearsal and repurpose her dress and veil to make a ring bearers pillow, a garter, and even a special gift for my mom. Cannot way enough amazing things about Brides by Elizabeth!

oking for, and the extra effort that was put in to making my day special.

dress and it wasn’t even close to my max budget! My alterations were done perfectly and everyone there was also very friendly and ready to help.

ndly and make you feel like family. I found my dress after trying on 6 different ones and narrowed it down to 2 then 1. Not once did I regret my choice of dress. Everything I had for my wedding dress aside from the shoes were purchased here. I also was able to add something from my dad since he passed away which was his military name tag. It's now part of my dress making it even more special. If you're looking for a place that is reasonable on dress pricing and has extremely good quality in selection as well as customer service this is the place to go. You won't regret it!

my budget. I highly recommend them! <3

it arrived in the store. They didn’t call me, instead I had to call the store for myself... multiple times. I also was displeased with the customer service. Speaking from personal experience, customer service should always be top priority of a business. Rather than feeling like a paying customer, the staff there made me feel bothersome. Not to mention, the owner Teresa told me that they can add my fiancé’s military name-strip to my dress, yet when I picked up the dress the name-strip was not added. It’s very disappointing and extremely frustrating to have to deal with this awful boutique. Ladies, your wedding planning is already stressful as is. Don’t let this bridal boutique make it even more so.

and my dress was perfect!

fore my wedding. Here’s what happened: I came in TWO MONTHS before my wedding for alterations and Teresa acted as though she was doing me a favor for agreeing to alter my dress in such a “short time period” however she agreed to alter it for a RUSH FEE for a total of almost $800. 5 weeks later I get the dress and it was several inches too small despite the fact that I had lost 8 lbs!! I took the dress back and Teresa did not only not apologize and offer to correct the situation but instead she blamed it on me without remorse. She took my measurements AGAIN and unwillingly agreed to re-alter my dress. Finally, 2 weeks before the wedding I got the dress but this time it was about THREE SIZES TOO BIG. I was left to search frantically to find a wedding dress that I could buy off the rack. I had already invested so much time and money on the dress that Teresa ruined and here I was searching for a NEW dress that I would have to pay for out of pocket. This is a situation a bride should never have to be in. Luckily, I was able to find an amazing tailor that altered my dress perfectly in TWO DAYS for a small fraction of the cost that Teresa charged me (that again I had to pay out of pocket for). After the wedding Teresa ignored my calls/emails for a month and she finally gets back to me with an email basically saying, “TALK TO MY LAWYER.” Her “lawyer” said she would pay $150 so long as I signed a contract prohibiting me from sharing my horror story with anyone. To me, that amount is laughable and insulting given the hundreds of dollars Teresa stole from me along with the immeasurable amount of stress she put me through. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for your wedding dress and alterations.

elpful. So thankful I found this place!

has an amazing selection of dresses in sizes 2-24W in stock to try on. I've literally spent the last two months shopping the entire DFW market looking for that right dress, and ordering dresses online only to return them because they didn't fit or weren't the least bit flattering. So while on a business trip to San Antonio, I decided to look here. When I reached out by phone to various bridal stores describing what I needed, the owner Teresa was quick to call back and let me know that she did indeed have a number of dresses in my size and she would be willing to make any alterations necessary—from beadwork, to a new neckline, you name it—Teresa will make it work. Girls, don't waste your time going anywhere else but here, and girls who are plus-size like me looking for bridal gowns, formal gowns, bridesmaids' dresses, mother of bride/groom need to look no further! It will only make you frustrated over the fact that you aren't a size 6 if you go elsewhere. (And size 4/6 girls, definitely come here first too.) The selection is amazing, and the service is the best you will ever find. If you want your search for "the perfect dress" to be stress-free and you want a great selection with the best possible service imaginable, come here. Everyone at this store--all the way from the sweetest, kindest, patient, and most talented store owner ever to the seamstresses, and the other sweet store personnel--is amazing. Pictures will be added once I pick up my dress. Thanks again, Teresa @ Brides By Elizabeth!! I will be buying all of my formal gowns from here on out!

ore than 10 hours away by having multiple fittings for me even during the holidays! They even came in early to their store, so I could pick my dress up on my way out of town. Incredibly accommodating and beautiful dresses!

ing a dress fun and easy . I love how they include some of the alterations and give a great price for the preservation (which I am excited to see completed). They will even hold the dress for you after you pick it out so you don't have to store it at home and risk your fiance peeking at it. It was a one stop shop and would highly recommend this shop.

all extremely easy and they were very flexible. Even my last appointment of picking up the dress, the owner Theresa checked over the dress herself, had a button fixed, and carried my dress to my car and packed it up for me. Definitely check out this shop!

in town. They are knowledgeable about every style and designer. They also have reasonable prices for alterations. Teresa (the owner) does many of the alterations herself and does not believe in charging outrageous amounts for alterations. She is a lovely woman who honestly believes that every bride is beautiful. This shop is filled with wonderful women and my day wouldn't have been as special without them.

ion of dresses. Minor inconveniences.

with our budget. It was a gown by Jasmine and it was beautiful. The alterations were timely and I could not have had a better experience. They have gowns in all price ranges and styles. Please make Brides by Elizabeth a stop on your gown shopping journey.

ly packed in my carry-on luggage. They even made my wedding garter with lace scraps left after the alterations <3

ere to visit family. My fiancé is in the military so Teresa Ashmore and I were able to bond over the military lifestyle because her spouse retired from the military. Not only did she and her staff make shopping fun and painless, they also were able to get all of my alterations finished AND packed my dress in my carry on so I could take it back to Alaska with me, all in under a week!!!!!! **Now I am going to start sounding like an infomercial** BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Teresa was kind enough to sew in a United States Air Force patch into my dress (that's the branch my fiancé is in)... but it wasn't just any patch. It was a patch from one of her husbands old uniforms. That act of kindness meant so much to me and felt like a little piece of good luck was given to me from another military spouse who made it through 23 years of moving, deployments, and all the other struggles that come with life in the military. I spent just a few hours in the store, but left feeling like I was truly family. Shopping at Brides By Elizabeth was truly an amazing experience for my family and I. I would highly recommend going to them first when looking for your dream gown.

cally for Alejandra for taking me under her wing from the moment I walked in and helping me find my gown. Thank you Alejandra for your patience and service. Teresa thank you for being so understanding, so kind, and caring. If it wasn't for Teresa I would not have been able to wear the gown that my heart desired on my big day. Thank you for orange juice and animal crackers the day I didn't eat because I was so stressed out. Thank you for treating me like a queen, even when I felt like a peasant. I am beyond impressed and extremely grateful with my experience at Brides by Elizabeth!

was great at helping me find dresses that I liked. They have so many beautiful dresses that it was almost hard to decide. I ended up with a Jasmine dress and I wanted it customized to my taste and they helped me do that! Jenny called and spoke with Jasmine's design department and had a custom dress just for me which was amazing. I expected that kind of customer service at only very high-end boutiques and I was extremely impressed that they were able to do that for me. The entire staff is very down to earth and easy to talk to. They make it a comfortable environment and make sure to give you their full attention during your appointment. The best part is that you can get a gorgeous dress for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them to anyone and hope that they are in business for many years to come.

e find the perfect gown for my special day and I couldn't have loved it more! So unique and so beautiful! love the small boutique feel and the warm environment!

y to customize their dresses. I ended up buying a dress at another store in my hometown, but brought it back to San Antonio to be altered. Turns out, the store ordered the dress 6 sizes too large and we didn't know it until we got it to Brides by Elizabeth. They were so kind and made me feel like it would all be okay. The team had to take all the lace and beading off, split the dress down the center, and sew it all back it up. By the end of the alterations, the dress looked better than I had ever dreamed and fit beautifully! I can not recommend this shop high enough, both for buying a dress and their alterations! I also ordered my bridesmaids dresses from the shop and they were absolutely beautiful and the team was great about giving me options to get them to my bridesmaids around the country.

chosing my own dresses from so many gorgeous ones but to my surprise Angie asked what I wanted and my budget and she chose a great selection of dresses. Thanks to her, Alejandra and Theresa I didn't have to go out of my budget and I got my dream dress!!! They also have beautiful veils and hair pins and tiaras!! I recommend completely to go give it a try cuz they are budget friendly!!

ection and customer service. We called Brides by Elizabeth and they were able to fit us in that same day. As soon as I walked in I knew I was in the right place. Angela was a God sent. She actually listened to what I had envisioned and she and her team got to work. They had my dressing room filled with dresses that fit my vision. The very last dress I tried on was the one! I like how every staff member came running when they heard I had found "the one". I ran the bell and even did a little dance with it, haha. After the nightmare experience at the chain store, I wasn't excited about trying on more dresses. They totally changed my attitude and made it fun again. I can't say enough about how kind and helpful they are. If you want a one of a kind and memorable experience go to Brides by Elizabeth!

reat setup. Although, I did not buy my dress from the boutique, I definitely knew I would go back to get my dress alterations since I received excellent service while looking for a dress. My bridesmaids did purchase their dresses from the boutique and they were super happy with the selections compared to other boutiques. I highly recommend anyone who wants great service and on a price budget to visit Brides by Elizabeth.

ou will get a personal experience here which I did not experience at most other shops. I actually ended up purchasing my gown at a different shop, but brought it to Brides by Elizabeth for my alterations because of my amazing experience shopping there. The alterations and sales teams gave me so much personal attention through the alterations experience. They were so incredibly helpful and I'm so excited to wear my dress that now fits me beautifully! Alterations were pricy for me since I didn't buy my gown in store, but if you buy your gown from here, alterations are capped at around 300, I believe. I also purchased my veil here, which was reasonably priced and came in very quickly. Thank you Brides by Elizabeth!!

this) and I loved everything Brides by Elizabeth was by far! Let me explain why I feel this way, most shops will have you go through their dresses and you pick out the ones you want and then you go into a room and you try on your dresses (and make sure you bring help because many places won’t help you unless you practically beg). This is not the experience in Brides by Elizabeth. First of all, the place is beautiful. The fitting room is huge and there is tons of space for your group to sit comfortably and the area is very pretty and light and covered in mirrors. Then, they listen to you, they find the dresses you might be interested in and they help you get into your dress while your entourage sits comfortably in their waiting area with great mirrors to get the best views. They really take the customer service and the excitement of trying on your wedding dress to the next level and make it the experience you hope for. Might I add, the dresses are very reasonably priced, so you won’t have the stress of trying on a dress and worrying if it’s in your price range. They also offer amazing prices on their alterations and schedule all your fitting appointments based on your needs. Brides by Elizabeth is truly a one of a kind shop and I am so proud to be a Bride by Elizabeth 

ul! From the very start, they were both so welcoming and down to earth. They took the time to understand what I was looking for and offered so much insight. Once we found the dress, they even went above and beyond and helped me redesign it to make it everything I was looking for and more. Between my initial consultation and multiple fittings, they took as much time as needed with me and always made me feel like a priority. Teresa does all the alterations and re-designing and does an impeccable job - not to mention I got my dream dress and stayed within budget! She even helped my maid of honor with her dress alterations and offered to help when my husband’s tux rental came in wrong days before the wedding. Teresa and Jennie made my entire experience stress-free, enjoyable and one less thing to worry about. Thank you for making my dream wedding dress and going above and beyond!

y appointment in the salon so I was given all the attention. The entire experience was fun and exciting!

itself is just beautiful. It's a major bonus that they offer in-house alterations as well. I felt reluctant at first to try on dresses, but these sweet ladies welcomed me with open arms and set the bar very high! Without a doubt, the best bridal boutique in San Antonio!

that it was definitely the one, she was solely making sure that I was having the best time and feeling like a million bucks. She blocked out 2 hours for my appointment and the salon was empty, it was so nice to be the only one there and being the only once focused on, there's nothing that can compare. Once I had my dress picked out, she was instantly helpful with ideas to make it my own, and even offered to do the altercations herself as she is a seamstress. Seriously, what's better than a one stop shop?! If you want a one on one personal experience with the nicest people in town, give Brides by Elizabeth a try, I'm so thankful I did!
