Wedding & Tuxedo Connection — Local services in Richmond

We had a 1950's themed wedding and I was looking for a certain type of tea length dress...which seemed impossible to find in central MN. I ordered two dresses online from overseas...which were a waste of my time and money. The Thursday before the wedding I stopped in the store to pay for our flowers...which were also amazing. My sister-in-law asked to use the restroom. Sue said, "Oh sorry, it looks like the light was left on". When I looked back I saw this light shinning on this gorgeous...actually, I don't even think there is a word to describe this dress. It was that amazing. It was like something out of a movie. I asked, "Is that a tea length dress?" She said, "Yes, would you like to try it on?" I said, "No, it won't fit." Jen looked at the size and it was my size. I tried it on and fell in LOVE with it. That was my dress! It was passed closing and they almost had to hold me down and rip it off me. I was grinning ear to ear! I decided to sleep on it since I had already bought three wedding dresses. They priced the dress out and told me to come back in the morning if I wanted to get it. I showed my Mom, Dad, sister, best friend, and soon to be in-laws and they said "GET IT!" I barely slept a wink that night. I grabbed my mom and sister-in-law and flew to the store so we were there when it opened. Jen and Sue both laughed when they saw me that morning. The only thing that needed alterations was the lace on the shoulders and they said they could do it that day. Where else can you go that would do alterations that SAME day on a wedding dress? We also got our bridesmaid's dresses there, which were made of good solid material and flattered everyone's figure. Sue and Jen put up with all the very optionated bridesmaid's comments. Jen and Sue did a phenomenal job and went above and beyond my expectations. I've visited a ton of stores on this voyage for the perfect dress and these ladies are hands down the best vendor! They made our day...

Jen and her team are awesome! I found Wedding & Tuxedo connection when I was searching for a specific dress and they were one of the few shops that carried it. My girls and I drove over an hour one way, for my first appointment. From the moment we walked in, they treated us like family. I was allowed to browse the racks and actually pick which dresses to try on. Unlike alot of the other bridal shops I went too. I prefer picking my own over a stylist picking everything for me. I eventually found "the one" but unfortunately was double my budget. After many appointments at other bridal shops and leaving empty handed and frustrated, I decided to go back to Wedding and Tuxedo connection to see if I could find another dress that gave me that feeling I previously had. Unfortunately, I wouldn't experience another bridal moment like that but I did find another dress that I loved. I ended up saying "Yes to the dress" at Wedding & Tuxedo connection and although I was/am sad to find out you can buy off the rack and they'll work with you on payments -i would of bought the dress that brought me to tears had I known but nonetheless I still had the best experience and I am very happy with the dress I ultimately picked! Thank you Jen for working with me and being so patient with my...

I had a great experience working with Jen at Wedding and Tuxedo Connection. You definitely get the "Say Yes To the Dress" type experience when shopping here, they pay close attention to your wants and needs and make you feel like the only bride that's ever walked into the shop! I also got my accessories, bridesmaids dresses, and flowers from here - which made shopping easy and convenient! We had a couple hiccups (veil was discontinued and my ring bear outfits didn't all come / shirts were back ordered) - But Jen immediately made it right by calling other shops for MONTHS to track down my particular veil, as well as overnight-ed and hand delivered our ring bearer shirts with plenty of time before the wedding. Something is always bound to go 'wrong' before a wedding, but it is how the business helps you out that really makes...
