At Wolsfelt's Bridal, every bride is treated to quality, custom service. This begins with an appointment for you to meet with one of our bridal stylists to discuss your wedding. Your stylist will take the time to learn about you, your personal style, and the vision you have for your wedding day.

my sister who is getting married in April also did as well. I could not be happier with the care we received here and recommend it to any of my friends! It’s a one stop shop for anything you need they have jewelry, after ceremony dresses, suits and more! I highly recommend stopping in to find your perfect dress!
They have the most amazing dresses I highly recommend coming here!

ff explained everything clearly and informatively to me when it came to customizing and altering my dress. My Mom bought her dress from Wolsfelt’s too and it was such a special experience going in to get our dresses altered together. Wolsfelt’s dress selection is unmatched- so much variety of styles, and reasonable price points. I ended up with one of their signature Wolsfelt’s label gowns and I have never seen my dress on another bride, or across social media. Wolsfelt’s made everything related to my wedding dress easy- alterations, videoing how to do my bustle, picking up my dress. I went to two other stores before I found my dress at Wolsfelt’s- best selection and staff in the Chicago suburbs!
I love love love Wolsfelts! Hopefully our daughter one day can also find her dream dress here as I did 🥹!!
Jessie & Vicki should I say all that staff here is so wonderful!! I had...
an amazing time picking out my Wedding dress from here with her and would highly recommend her and Wolsfelts. Accommodating, personable, and very customer focused. Jessie had an eye for what I wanted and more! She knew the selections I would love and surprised me with ones that made it hard to choose from them all haha. Love, love! Very satisfied. I also had my fittings with my Seamstress Ula who made this all the more special and memorable. Look no further you have to stop by here at Wolsfelts for your dress and attire for your special occasion. Definitely worth a look. They have a variety of styles and are looking to work with you. From a business standpoint as well I would definitely say very professional and customer oriented.

Extremely disappointed with the management and alteration services at Wolsfelt's. I paid $442.92 total for a Maid of Honor dress and two rounds of in-house alterations, which inclu...
ded having the seamstress shorten the straps. The shop forced me to pick up the dress two weeks early solely because their seamstress had a family conflict and needed to reschedule. The dress sat completely untouched in their protective garment bag at my home on a hanger, went straight to a hanger at the venue, and was put on while I was completely standing up. I did not drape it over anything and never sat down a single time before the ceremony. Yet, the moment I put it on, severe vertical ripples formed straight down the seams due to improper machine thread tension, permanently warping the fabric. The exact strap they actively altered completely snapped from its base. A premium dress should survive more than 20 minutes of standing wear without a total structural failure. When I emailed clear photo evidence of the damage, management (Lorrie) completely refused to offer any refund whatsoever. Instead, she tried to claim 'silky satin is a delicate fabric' and blamed me, guessing that the perfectly straight machine-puckering lines were 'external snags from jewelry, sequins, or shoes'--even though I wore zero jewelry or sequins, and a bridesmaid put my shoes on while I stood. She also hid behind the fact that the dress was 'in perfect condition' on a static hanger during my 3 fitting visits and that I signed the pickup form. A signed form does not protect a salon from latent structural defects that only manifest once a dress is subjected to the active tension of being worn. Lorrie's only solution was for me to make yet another 40-minute drive each way to drop off the dress so they could 'remove the snags' and sew the strap--for an event that had already passed! I have already driven nearly 5 hours in round trips across 4 separate appointments for this gown. I am not wasting more time and gas to let a shop 'repair' a dress for a past wedding when I no longer trust their alteration skills anyway. Beware of their alterations department--they will permanently ruin your gown, deliver defective workmanship that fails on your big day, and then callously blame you to protect their bottom line.
Great selection of dresses and kind staff!
Wonderful and smooth process to find my dream dress! My dress was absolutely perfect! I never felt pressured to hurry up and pick a dress. I felt like I could trust the seamstress ...

the perfect dress. I will never forget the feeling when I found "the one". Even when I went for my fittings the seamstress was so sweet. She was able to create everything I envisioned. She was able to take pieces of my mom's wedding dress and my grandma's wedding dress to create a heart and sew it to my dress right over my chest/heart. My mom even went to Wolsfelt to find her Mother of the Bride dress and looked absolutely stunning. I can not say enough kind words about Wolsfet. They were a huge part in making our wedding day a dream come true. Thank you

They made it possible for me to find my dress on my first day trying on dresses which was totally unexpected.

MJ was awesome and so helpful! Got my dream wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses and hopefully getting mother of the brides dress too !!
This was the absolute best experience! I loved Wolsfelt's Bridal. To start, the appointment itself to find the dress was very helpful. My stylist, Amy, was very knowledgeable, and ...
she pulled a ton of dresses. At previous appointments with other shops, I struggled to find even one dress I somewhat liked, but somehow Amy found a bunch of options for me. As far as alterations, I had Ola and she was one of the best. She was patient despite my fluctuations in weight and very beaded gowns. She was such a kind hearted person to talk to as well. When I picked up the dresses the week before my wedding, they were perfectly tailored, steamed, and hung in the most caring way. The person who helped me get them in my car was very informative and you can tell they take their job's seriously and are very detail oriented. I can't rave about this business enough. I always try to keep my review's balanced with the pros and cons, but I truly can't think of any cons. Great business with great people!
