Royal Weddings Bridals

ey made the ‘say yes to the dress’ part fun and easy and I cannot recommend them enough!

my mother, my MOH, and my aunt with me to shop for wedding gowns (many salons at this time only allowed up to 2 additional guests). On my first trip to their shop, we were all welcomed in like family. On my first trip, I was shown a number of dresses that fit the style I described and I left that daydreaming of one dress in particular!! 2 MONTHS later, I made a call to see if they still had the dress and they did!! When I made my 2nd appointment and Johann and Rita exceeded expectations in accomodating me and allowing me to bring my entire bridal party (Virtually) to my final appointment to say YES to the dress!

n't sure what to expect, but we had the shop to ourselves and she let me go around and pick out whatever I wanted to try on. She was very patient and attentive to my feedback as I tried on as well. I found a dress I liked a lot but was hesitant to buy since it was my first appointment. I ultimately ended up finding a dress I loved more at another shop, but still really enjoyed shopping here and would recommend it!

zing, honest with her opinion, and made me feel very comfortable and so confident. I fell in love with the first dress I tried on!! I then scheduled, same day, for my maid of honor and grandmother to try dresses on. Rita was so warm and friendly, and make us all feel at home and not rushed. Lastly, my bridesmaids and I went this week to select there dresses. Both Joanna and Rita were there. They accommodated us with 2 rooms for the bridesmaids to utilize and be comfortable. Even though they had other appointments coming in that evening, they did not make us feel rushed. We took our time and my whole bridal party ordered their dresses! Overall, It was an excited and amazing experience at Royal Weddings. I am so glad we stopped it. I cannot wait to see my dress when it comes in! Thank you so much Rita and Joanna for accommodating us and making us feel like we were at home at your bridal salon! I will forever cherish these special moments!

istened to my vision, other dresses I tried on and then pulled the PERFECT gown. I can't thank her enough for the warm hospitality and stellar customer service. I highly recommend paying this store a visit!

rofessional throughout the whole experience. I liked the method of selecting dresses to try on - given large clips to clip onto the dresses I was interested in and those dresses were then brought to a spacious fitting area. The dresses were also beautifully presented in the store, unlike some others that pile the dresses all on top of each other. I also appreciate that my experience was very private and personalized - not full of noisy customers with store attendants rushing you along. Communication with the store was excellent. While they don't have a streamstress on site, they provided a list of recommendations and I was able to utilize one right in Bethel who was excellent. I had some alterations to the dress I wanted to make before I purchased it, and the designer was able to fulfill all of my requests. Only needed very minor alterations to the dress when it arrived This store is a hidden gem and I highly recommend buying a dress from there.

personality. Joanna helped me look for and try on dresses. Both women are extremely welcoming, attentive, caring, sweet and easy to work with. I am so grateful to have found my wedding dress here! Thank you Royal Weddings Bridals! special thank you to Rita and Joanna💕

experience very enjoyable. I found a great dress that fit my budget, and I couldn't be happier! Also nice that they have the samples in a variety of sizes. I will definitely be sending my friends!

y made the entire process smooth and easy. I went to several other gown shops - none of them compared! I definitely would recommend them.

chedule because of my personal schedule. They did my fittings and I even recommended them to my bride friend who I am a bridesmaid for and she loved them as well! They were great about offering a bulk discount as well as I had 8 bridesmaids.

esmaid dresses so we had no other options (we chose Alfred Angelo over another designer to help the bridal party save money). When I arrived with my bridal party they were told to share a room to try on dresses. Luckily the girls were comfortable with each other and didn't mind sharing a dressing room. When it came time to have the girls measured my maid of honor told the sales woman that she felt that the measuring tape had been pulled too tight. The woman assured her that the dress would fit and that's how they measure the dresses. When her dress came in 4 months later she had lost 10 lbs. and the dress was tight. She struggled to sit down and she said that it was tight in the area she had told the woman the measuring tape had been pulled too tight. Luckily she lost a little bit more weight (that she hadn't planned on losing before) so the dress would fit. One of the other members of my bridal party wanted to try a dress that they didn't have in the store. She was going to try and rush to another store (half way across the state) to try the dress on that afternoon before she went back to college in N.C. She asked the saleswoman if her measurements could be taken before she left, so her mom could call in and order the dress she decided on. The woman said no and refused to measure her until she selected a dress, saying if she wanted to try on at another store she would have to come back and be measured (which wasn't an option). She ended up going with the dress she tried on at the store but she left feeling upset and pressured. If we had known the customer service we would receive at Royal Weddings we would have gone with the more expensive dresses and avoided the headaches and anxiety caused by them.

rong with the dress, which when planning a wedding is always a plus. They truly care about the most important part of your wedding which is of course you, and they make sure you're happy. You would be crazy to go anywhere else! Thank you so much Joanne and Rita my dress was perfect for my big day!

pick out the dress they felt comfortable in (staying with the same designer and color). I decided to go with Royal Weddings for the dresses as the my carried the designer i wanted (Bill Levkoff). Best decision i made. The staff was so accommodating for my large bridal party- there were so many dresses in store- that all 7 girls were able to pick out a different dress that they felt comfortable in. Highly recommended!!!!

s down the sweetest most helpful woman ever!! Always a smile on her face, always there to help and has a great selection of dresses. She was very patient with me and my bridesmaids. I am not a fan of dresses and definitely not of the color white. That being said, I walked into this shop & only this shop, met Rita, and purchased a dress that day!! She made it easy. My bridesmaids dresses came from this shop & so did the mother of the groom gown..all looked stunning!! I know a lot of women tend to go to the chain bridal store. I went there to shoe shop the day after I went to Royal Weddings and I was mortified. Staff was awful..rude, could care less how people looked in anything. Their selection looked cheap & poorly made. It's like a revolving door of horrible. If I went there first & thought that was all that was out there, I surely would have rather wear jeans on my wedding day. Luckily I found the best place around and was very happy. So look no further & go meet Rita. You will have a great experience!!

Weddings. I literally already feel like they are family!! With there amazing help I was able to find the exact kind of dress I was looking for and couldn't be more excited for my special day. I feel totally confident and at ease now that I am in their hands! Thank you so much Joanna and Rita for making my dress shopping everything I could have imagined and more!

nd help with the bridesmaid dresses. She helped create the perfect elegant look for my August 5, 2016 wedding. I was nervous about trying on dresses, and finding the right one, but her calm and caring presence in the lovely atmosphere of her shop made the experience so special. She helped, when I asked for advice, and stepped back to let my mom and sister enjoy the moment, and try on the veil, and gaze at the gown bustled or look from every angle. It was a wonderful experience, and I received so many compliments on my dress, veil and accessories. Rita is attentive, and it is such a personal experience whenever you are in the shop, unlike some of the larger chain stores. The search for the dress is one of the first major milestones in the process, and I cannot recommend her more highly: she does excellent work, and the tailoring was just beautiful!

dress was delivered early, and my bridesmaids dresses came right on time. Alterations were done at the shop as well and were awesome!! Joanna and staff were so accommodating and helpful!! Definitely a place to try!!

wouldn't be able to order a dress in time for the wedding and in most cases they tried to get me to purchase something "off the rack" that I truly did not like. I ended up at Royal Weddings Bridal Shop based on the recommendation of my hairdresser. When I met with Joanna from the shop, I told her my thoughts and she stated the same, I would not be able to order a dress and have it in time. What she did differently from the other shops, was to listen to my ideas, encourage me to try on a variety of different styles and was very patient and upbeat as I tried them on. My final result was a dress I loved (and was not the original style I had in mind lol)! She also discounted it for me. Every time I went to the shop for fittings, Joanna was happy, positive and upbeat. She truly helped turn a stressful situation into a great experience.

from them. The dresses arrived 6 weeks late! When I started calling, about a week after I was told they would arrive, they seemed to have no clue when to expect the dresses. I had to call on a weekly basis, to keep reminding them, as nobody at the shop seemed to notice that the dresses hadn't arrived. We ordered them very early, as one dress had to be shipped to and altered in Italy. Two of my bridesmaids were going to be away for a month before the wedding, so they also needed theirs early. This was all very clearly explained when we placed the order and we were told the dresses would arrive in plenty of time. Since they arrived so late (and I never did get an explanation as to why), I ended up having to spend a fortune shipping a dress overnight to Italy, and I also had to personally drive to Vermont to deliver the other two to my traveling bridesmaids. Also, the fit on two of the dresses was awful! When the measurements were taken, she insisted on ordering a size up on these two dresses. One bridesmaid had just had a baby and explained that if anything, she would be losing weight, not gaining. The other was also very confused, as she seemed to be on the small end of a size, yet was forced to get a much larger dress. She actually had to pay extra for the larger size, then just had to pay a fortune in alterations to have all of that extra fabric removed! Both of the girls who were made to order larger had extensive alterations needed, and both were very upset as they made it clear when ordering that the larger sizes were not necessary. I was so upset with how late that the dresses arrived, that I chose to pick them all up and not use royal weddings for the alterations. After reading other reviews, I am so glad that I did that! Pass on royal weddings. They are completely unprofessional.

York and thought she paid a lot for it. It looked quite expensive and the best part was that it wasn't. Isn't that what every bride wants to look like a million bucks but not actually pay a million bucks! We had gone to a lot of different places, but in the end we couldn't have been more pleased with her decision. Joanna thanks for being a part of my daughters perfect wedding!

ses isn't overwhelming, but such an elegant and quality selection that you will be hard pressed to just pick one! I couldn't have loved my dress more!!!

ids had to go back because they never took in part of her dress.

My dress isn't a well-known brand, but amazing quality - gorgeous bead and lacework - and a very fair price at $1350. My headpiece is absolutely stunning - handwired with crystals and faux pearl accents - a true heirlooom and EXACTLY what I had been fruitlessly searching for online- and although it was way more than I wanted to spend - same with the veil - they are absolutely gorgeous and, well, I've already spent the money. My wedding dress alterations and bustle look great so far (just had it hemmed) - and I paid under $300 for the dress slip, hemming, and bustle, which seems to be industry average if not slightly lower. My mom's dress looks great, but she bought it off the rack and had a couple of pulls; they didn't offer to take any % off for that. I was a bit disappointed on that end, but it really was The Dress for my mom so we bought it anyway. My future mother in law picked out some stunning separates that flatter her figure, and we got the five bridesmaids dresses + 1 jr bridesmaid dress for the 5 year old flower girl from Alexia Bridals. They've accommodated my nutty schedule, coordinating 3 local bridesmaids / MOG plus coordinating my bridesmaids and mom that are across the country, and giving sizing advice to my unexpectedly pregnant bridesmaid - the folks there are really nice and I hate to review before the occasion since my maids are still getting alterations, but it's been a really positive experience thus far. I'm just broke as a joke. :D That being said, IT WAS WORTH IT TO GET EVERYONE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER ONE ROOF.

e found a dress. We set a date to go to Royal Weddings together and order the dress, while in the fitting room I asked her how she felt and she said "good" but I knew she was hiding something. She actually was oggling over another dress at the store, but was told it probably didn't come in her size. A HUGE disappointment to a woman who barely rides the line between missy and plus size. I told the owner to get the dress and we would make something work. The employees at this store didn't even help her get in and out of their dresses nor offer assistance. The dress was gorgeous-- my mother looked absolutely stunning and was radiant; this was the first dress that really captured her beauty! I knew my mother had to have this dress, so I went to the counter to make the necessary arrangements and the employees tried to convince me that based on my mother's measurements, she should order one size vs. another. However when I examined the manufacturer's size chart, I said I wanted the larger size ordered because since she was just on the line between one size and another in one of her measurements, I felt more comfortable with the larger size and then altering it to fit perfectly, as opposed to ordering a smaller size and giving my mother a complex before the wedding. We ordered the dress in the size my mother and I felt comfortable with and awaited it's arrival. When the dress finally came in and the fittings started, I was not available to accompany my mother. Instead of pinning the hem, the seemstress at the store cut the dress. Having gone to a world renowned fashion school and working in the industry, including as a stylist, I was shocked when my mother told me this. The rest of the dress was pinned and a second fitting was scheduled. I went to the second fitting with my mother and thought the dress looked a little funny. The dress seemed as if it hadn't been taken in at all and when I asked about it, I was given this generic response that had the dress been taken in any more, my mother would be unable to raise her arms even to give someone a hug. To be honest, I hadn't even looked at the hem of the dress because I was so taken back by the alterations in the top portion of the dress. After being asked MULTIPLE times if we were interested in jewelry, shoes, hand bags, hair accessories, etc. we took the dress and left. I knew I just had to get my mom out of this dress and the store. After a few weeks my mother tried on the dress and called me in tears saying how horrible she looked. The dress just hung on her and wasn't flattering at all. On top of all of this, the hem was too short and now she had to find another pair of shoes. I convinced her that we would get this resolved and needless to say, we took the dress to a different seamstress who discovered that the alterations were not done. The dress was only altered using a basting stitch (which some tailors will use when determining a hem as it is just temporary) and was already coming undone. The dress was then altered correctly, however there was nothing that could be done about the hem. My mother is STILL looking for a pair of flat shoes that are dressy enough to match her stunning dress since they will be seen even if she stands still.
