Blossom Brides — Local services in Town of Hempstead

if you go to one bridal store to shop for your dress...MAKE IT THIS ONE! This is a wonderful shop and I can not recommend them enough. They truly care about what they do and it shows in every aspect of their store! I visited many stores before finding Blossom Brides and this was, hands down, the best experience I had shopping for my wedding gown!

I was working with Janine and she was a magician! I came prepared with a spreadsheet outlining what I was and wasn't looking for and Janine understood perfectly and was able to pick out many beautiful dresses that perfectly suited the theme of my wedding and were incredibly flattering! Where many other shops more or less ignored my opinions, Janine at Blossom Brides knew exactly what I was going for and each dress I tried on was more beautiful than the last....and were all within my price range!

Wedding dress shopping was definitely one of the aspects of the planning process I was most nervous about! I am a bride on a budget and I left many of the other salons I visited feeling slightly embarrassed because the dresses that I was shown to try on were well out of my price range. This was not at all the case at Blossom Brides!

Janine was incredibly patient and supportive throughout the entire process and I felt so comfortable and had so much fun trying on the different dresses! She pulled a few sample dresses that were were on sale and when she told me the prices my jaw literally dropped!

Janine not only kept my budget in careful consideration, but also accounted for the alterations when meeting my budget so that when all was said and done, the price was just around where I needed it to be! I cannot say how incredibly grateful I was for this! It is easy to forget alterations when you're looking at a price tag and the fact that Janine was so considerate still wows me!

There was never anything but positive and happy vibes at Blossom Brides. There was no "sales" pitches and no pressure to buy, which was greatly appreciated!

Did I mention what an AMAZING clipper Janine is? Trying on dresses can be a bit disorienting since you rarely get to try on a dress in your size. In other stores, I tried on many dresses where I couldn't quite imagine it in my size because they were so loose or big. Not the case here! Janine was so pro at pinning the gowns so you could tell EXACTLY what the dress would look like on your body once it was altered to fit in your size. Seriously, a magician!

I said yes to the dress at Blossom Brides and I am so incredibly excited to wear my beautiful dress on my wedding day. I thought I was going to have to settle on something less than I wanted when buying my dress for my wedding, but thanks to Janine and Blossom Brides, my dress is more stunning and beautiful than I could have ever dreamed! Thank you for helping to make my wedding day so special!

I am so excited to go back for my fitting! Thank you Blossom Brides for your commitment to pairing the perfect dress with...

I had the most incredible experience with Blossom Brides every step of the way. They only see two brides at a time, so it's an extremely personal experience that makes you feel very special. The salon is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is so friendly from the moment you arrive. I worked with Janine and she made the experience such an incredible one. I came with my sister, mother, aunt and grandmother and from the beginning wanted to make sure we were all comfortable. She really listened to what I was looking for and from the beginning her picks were spot on. I loved that she really made me express what I liked and disliked about each dress I tried so she could tailor the next dresses she pulled for me. As a bride that's not a size 2, it was so comforting to me that the store carried such a large selection of dresses in sizes 16-18. I was so stressed about dress shopping because I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to try dresses I loved. I was able to fit in every single dresss I wanted to try and Janine made me feel so beautiful in each one. I also never felt rushed and couldn't believe when it was over how much time they actually spent with me! I ultimately chose a strapless Sottero & Midgley ball gown and Janine found a strap by the designer in the exact same lace to be added on and turn it into a keyhole back. She also helped me accessorize the look with a fingertip veil edged in crystals and pears like the gown and a beaded headband/headpiece that matched the intricate scrollwork on the gown. Blossom was the first and only bridal shop I went to and I said yes to the dress (and all my accessories)! After I said yes, Janine, the owner and other associate (I forgot her name but she was so sweet too!) came over and hugged me and my whole family and were genuinely so excited. They let me stay in "my dress" for a bit so my family could take pictures of the dress and all the details, which I loved. Janine went through all the details of the contract and ordering very thoroughly. Once we were done, they brought out a bottle of pink champagne and gave us each a glass to toast and welcome us into the Blossom Brides family! It was such an incredible day and everyone at Blossom truly makes you feel like family. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend coming here for your wedding dress and requesting Janine!! I can't wait until my dress comes in so I can...

I could not believe how terrible the experience at this bridal shop was. This was only my second time shopping for wedding dresses and we were about 25 minutes early to my appointment and to my surprise the store was empty. I asked the woman in the store if it was okay that I was a little early for my appointment. She was making comments about how the owner was supposed to bring her lunch and she’s skinny because no one has brought her food to eat. I thought it was an odd comment and she could’ve told us to come back it wouldn’t have been an issue, we were the early ones. When she asked for my budget and the style I wanted she said okay and started bringing dresses in the room. EVERY SINGLE DRESS was the OPPOSITE of what I asked for. When I would tell her what I didn’t like about the dress she said “well this designer can do that custom” or “well that can be added on” I can’t imagine how much it would be to customize a dress but I am not made of money. All I wanted was for her to bring out dresses that I described. I even showed her a picture of me in a dress that I liked the style and fit of and she kept ignoring me. Anytime she put me in a dress and I didn’t like it (because it was the opposite of what I asked for) she’d make rude comments about how I didn’t like anything. Any time we were in the fitting room she would strike up a conversation about herself when I was transitioning into another dress. I would take on dress off and she would be holding the next dress talking about herself. When it was time to put on the dresses she would just hand them to me to try on as if it was a t shirt. It got to the point where my mother had to say the appointment was over because she saw how disappointed and uncomfortable I was every time I stepped out of the fitting room. I would never go back and I would recommend others to stay away. Terrible...
