Floravere

e THE ONE but they were pretty and I wanted to try on some different shapes to clarify my vision-- then I saw her! As we walked through the closet my stylist informed me that the dress I gravitated towards was brand new and it was EXACTLY what I'd envisioned in my head but couldn't find anywhere. I wanted a luxury gown but I also felt guilty spending $5k+ on something I'll only wear once and was SO pleased that Floravere's model allows me to have a really special gown in my budget that doesn't FEEL budget. My stylist was so sweet and patient as I facetimed every single female family member separately and I even got a discount for purchasing th gown on my first appt! They brought out the champagne and gave me a rose to celebrate. I was nervous that I bought it all by myself so they even gave me a 24 hr cooling period so that I could cancel with a full refund if I changed my mind- but I didn't! I can't wait to wear it!!!

the first one I put on- but it wasn't "me" and I knew I wanted to wait to visit Floravere before officially committing to a dress. Well thank god I waited! The experience was so lovely. The only shop where I was given a glass of champagne (or a few) and that I truly felt comfortable. It was like shopping with "the girls". I walked away with one and a half dresses (hello over skirt!). Now is truly the hardest part, not sharing this experience or the dress with my fiance.

h the very personal experience. When my party and I walked in, we were the only people in the waiting area (it also doubles as an Insta worthy room, a library, and a flower shop), where we were greeted immediately with champagne and a scent that was so amazing my mother made the stylist go find out what it was. From there we got seated in our private suite and I got to browse the gown closet. Floravere dresses are all designed in-house (inspired by powerful women through the ages) so you won't find them anywhere else. There are so many designs and styles to choose from, you will be surprised with what puts a smile on your face. Your stylist will be right there guiding you -pointing out that you never wanted to take that dress off so maybe it's the one (thank you Lia!) I couldn't be more happy with my dress and the experience I had at Floravere.

swer questions, customize a playlist and helping to ensure my friends and family had a great experience, too. I received text confirmations from real people to help answer questions, calm nerves and coordinate for our appointment. My stylist, Tiffany, was fantastic at making suggestions, moving me in and out of dresses quickly and making an hour appointment seem relaxed and easy. In the end, I was able to find a gorgeous gown at a reasonable price - I'm obsessed with the fabric, the fit, the design and the versatility. I can't wait to show it off!

in town before saying yes). I was hoping to get an idea of what I liked so that when/if I returned I would have a clearer idea. The store itself is so bright and beautifully decorated. Sam was so sweet when I walked in. She paid close attention to the info I sent her via their website and she knew all about my wedding and my hopes and dreams for a dress. With a cold glass of champagne in hand, we headed into a private fitting room where it felt like I was the only person in the store. Every dress I tried one was so beautiful - they felt expensive, luxurious and comfortable all in one. But the very first dress was different than anything else I had tried on. I felt so good in it I didn't want to take it off. I tried on a bunch and then Sam suggested "we should probably put you back in that first one". It was perfect. They kindly offer a 10% discount if you buy your dress on the first visit - long story short I walked away with my dress that day and I am so happy with it! I will be recommending Floravere to every bride to be I come across!

y immediately put a veil on me and shoved a sign that said "I SAID YES" in my hands before I actually did. My mom encouraged me to go to my appointment at Floravere and that's where I honestly said yes. Emily was beyond a dream. She put me in anything and hyped me up when a dress didn't fit right. She found the most gorgeous dress that I didn't even know I wanted and that was it. I didn't cry. I just felt calm (like "this is it"). Emily asked if I wanted a veil and let me walk around the shop to see how I felt. She supported me (it felt weird to not cry and have that bridal moment) and told me that it was my choice. When I said yes, it was just easy. I went back this past weekend to pick out my accessories (I made the appointment on the day Emily was working) and again was blown away at the ease of it. There's no crazy big shop with a ton of brides and everyone if fighting for the mirror. It was me, my mom, my FMIL, my MSIL, and my future grandmother in law with the team there and from Hushed Commotions (also insanely perfect). They found a veil that softened the dress (it was very sleek and I am very not). Stephanie (the manager), who was there for my first appointment, came out and was amazing the entire time. I cannot recommend this store (and Emily) enough to the bride who doesn't want to feel forced or who wants to actually enjoy the experience without being overwhelmed or the bride who wants a classic look. Or literally anyone. Not to mention, their fabric is ethically made, the prices are within literally any budget (I think the most expensive dress is $3,000), and they all love what they do. I already am planning to go back to get my after dinner outfit.

y and they were able to accommodate us. It's a beautiful and intimate space, and bringing 1-2 people is recommended. I came away with a top dress I liked but was torn between this dress and another I had tried. After a few weeks of debating, I headed back to Floravere to try it on again, and just loved all the detailing and fit! Deciding on a size (as I was in between), Stephanie and Emily both took the time to describe the sizing and lastly they leave it in your hands to decide on what to order. Ordering was a breeze. Thank you for taking the indecision and stress out of the process for me!

y more for the open bar!), which at some of the other places was a pain point that their selection was limited even in what I thought was a reasonable budget. I like the dress way more than several others I tried on that were 3-4x the cost and don't feel I had to sacrifice style or quality. I loved having a champagne toast at the end, being able to bring my friends, being able to put on our own music in the suite and they even gave me a flower after I purchased. Every detail really came together for an overall beautiful experience.

sure I was comfortable the second I walked in the door. The second she got my vibes, and some of the dresses I liked and dislike she took some things away from my pile and made suggestions that I never even thought of. I walked out with my dress, head piece, and veil purchased in styles I never envisioned for my wedding, but with Sam's help it checked all the boxes I needed. Can't wait to get my dress and try it on once it is fitted to me perfectly! P.S. Will be back for the bridesmaids dresses once they are officially released! ;p

ress to her house the following weekend for me to try on for her. After the dress was purchased they let me know that was not a possibility. Dress = 10/10 service = 5/10
