Brides of Today

ulled the dress I eventually picked! She was incredibly sweet, caring, and helpful. I was SO excited to find my wedding dress. I wanted to add sleeves to my dress to cover up some burns and scarring; she said it was not a problem and she would order extra material and appliqués. I ordered the dress 12 months before my wedding. It took 9 months to come in. I was told up front it was 6-9 months. The entire waiting period it was impossible to get an update on when to expect my dress. Only Bev (owner) and Pam (manager) can look items up in their system. The associates are quite lovely but can’t access the system. I finally get a voicemail from Pam that my dress is in at 3 days shy of 9 months from when I ordered it. Pam then says I can’t come in for another 2 weeks because they’re too busy to get my dress ready. My local seamstress said she needed the dress 3 months out to do the alterations, including the sleeves. I try calling back when they are allegedly open and it takes 2 days to get Bev on the phone, who then says I need to talk to Pam, then I get a 10 minute talk about how busy they are and how many dresses they have in. I offer that I can come in anytime in the next 10 days; I’m trying to be polite and flexible. I end up just making an appointment for Saturday and going in. Miraculously, my dress is ready. When I ask about the extra material for sleeves, Pam immediately gets defensive and says it wasn’t on the order and I never asked for anything like that. I ask if we can get material and appliqués in. She just says “I mean, I can call them if you want and see what I can do,” but makes it obvious that this is a huge inconvenience for her and that she clearly doesn’t care. I checked my receipt from my purchase, which does in fact state that extra material was supposed to be ordered. I want so badly to recommend this shop to other brides, but I can’t. It was so great to be able to walk in and try on everything, which is not the norm for a plus size bride. However, the manager Pam ruins this place. When I was actually able to reach someone, all I heard were excuses and misinformation. I now have a dress, but not the dress I really wanted. Normally I wouldn’t be upset about compromising something like sleeves but for $1800 + alteration cost I was hoping to get what I wanted.

d leave as a friend is soo true!

ind your dream dress for your big day! That’s what they did for me! Alexis was my stylist, we clicked immediately and it felt like my friend was helping me navigate the world of wedding dresses!

. A special thanks to Pam and Chris! You ladies are amazing! Thanks for everything! 😘

they were enthused about wedding talk and happy to hear the details of mine. The store is really cool with spacious fitting rooms! They let me know options as I discussed things I liked or disnt like about a dress. My only complaint (and something they can easily fix) is that I couldn't see the back of the dress. There is a pedestal in front of a large mirror to stand on which is awesome but no way to see the back of the dress without having someone use their cell phone. it was a great experience and I was surprised by how many options there are for plus size with samples in sizes that actually fit and are in budget! I did say yes to my dress and cant wait to go back when it comes in!

t my dress very early in my 2 year engagement)! I felt like the most gorgeous bride not only on my wedding day but each time I went in for fitting!

to work with! They are two of the sweetest ladies I've met who truly care about their customers! They also carry a HUGE selection of bridesmaids dresses and dresses for the moms and grandmothers too!

ry sweet woman but sweet is not necessarily what I was looking for. I was looking for a professional woman who could get the job done and I felt like that was almost not accomplished. My dress came in quite late and when I tried to call because I was worried about when it would arrive I felt like I didn't get the information I needed. On the plus side with my dress did get there. It didn't fit me and Lena, the seamstress that Bev had recommended, was the most incredible seamstress I've ever met. Lena was sweet and caring and she had my back. For my bridesmaid fitting Lena even had me come to her house so that she could measure her on a day where the shop was not open. Overall, I am glad as a plus size woman that I use this bridal salon, but I do recommend if you are going to get your dress here get it as early as possible and be relentless about where your dresses is. The final thing I would like to say is Bev, Lena should have some space in your salon to do her fittings even though she works independently. You both work together and for the peace of mind of your future brides I hope you can work something out. Lena is a gem!

l different styles of dresses. I can guarantee this will be your first and last stop to find your dream dress that will make you look and feel gorgeous on your wedding day! Plus you get to work with a truly loving and accommodating staff that helps you from start to finish.

ride feel that way. Bev and Lena both were wonderful in this respect. The only drawback for me was that it was located an hour away and we did have to make an emergency run to the shop the week of the wedding which was a challenge, but Lena fit us in and did everything she could to fix the problem. She even ended up mailing me some items on her own time and money. I was impressed with them and everyone loved the dress!

out there as so many bridal salons do not have many sample size dresses to fit a curvy bride. It makes trying on gowns very discouraging. I was recommended Bev's salon by another Lancaster Salon that did not carry many dresses above a size 16. I knew I found my dress after only trying on about 4 dresses. It was so perfect. Everything I had hoped to find but nothing I had seen before. So many style choices and it flattered me so much. I felt so beautiful! My bridesmaid also found her dress here and Bev and Pam were such lovely people who just made you feel the most beautiful. I highly recommend this salon to all. I received so many sincere compliments on my gown. They also have a very talented seamstress who was a dream to work with. As my gown was all lace with fancy edges we could not do a traditional hem so the dress had to be cut under the belt to create a waist so the gown was not too long. No stress over it as they are very competent at this salon. Great experience.

but that you love it ❤️ I highly recommend going with bride of today!

f course I do, come on down and we will have fun!" I had a great time trying on gowns with Bev. She really makes you feel like a princess. She has so many nice things to say and the knowledge and experience that is reassuring when buying a gown. She even paid special attention to my fiance's 7 year old daughter who was along for the trip. When I was having trouble deciding between 2 gowns, she put them in the back for me so I could try them on again the next week when my sister was able to come along with me. It made me feel better knowing that I would still be able to choose because they were both available to me. She was very accommodating and encouraged me to try things on and have fun. She dolled each dress up with jewelery and a veil and talked about different options for accessories that she had in mind to match the dress. What a great experience!

eir gown selections for being a small shop.

that goes into a wedding. Also, she can be flexable with price if need be.

That's exactly what you get from Bev's. She takes her time with you, and she has no problem telling you if she likes the dress or doesn't like it on you. Bev's Bridals is one of the best kept secrets of Quarryville!

five stars is because of the seamstress. She was horrible!!!!! My dress was still too long the day of my wedding. I was tripping and stepping on my dress all day long. This was even after my last fitting where she stated she was going to shorten it two more inches and she did not do what she said. I loved Bev, but hated her seamstress.
