The try on area and lobby is very warm and inviting. Kelly was welcoming, but that’s where the good experience ended for me.
I came from dress gallery where I felt the bride excitement. Here, she had two brides so she showed my friend how to help me get in dresses. Personally I didn’t want my friends or family having to work while I tried on dresses, and it just made the experience less enjoyable I explained that since I just came from another appointment, I knew I liked certain styles and didn’t like certain things. I was then brought 6-8 dresses that were the exact things I DID NOT want. I said I didn’t like 3D decorations, and there were flowers coming off and a big bow on two of the dresses. I said no mermaid, and two mermaid dresses were brought. The final straw was when she brought a dress that my group audibly said “hey, she’s definitely not gonna like that” and were told “she just needs to try it on and see!”. I didn’t feel like my opinion or wants were important, instead it was what she wanted. Had it been my first ever dress appointment, I would’ve tried anything and everything to see what I liked, but it wasn’t and I already knew my preferences. They just weren’t respected. The inventory is SO small. I understand smaller boutiques won’t have the same amount of dresses, but to only have two of a certain style was disappointing. We found a veil that I thought was pretty, so we asked the price… ALMOST $700! For a veil! Even the other dress shops said that was LUDICROUS
Overall I just didn’t have a great experience. I see all the raving reviews, and I’m so glad other brides had a good time, it just really...
Read moreI live out of state now but my sister and most of my close girlfriends are still in Wichita. So after getting engaged, on my next trip home I knew I wanted to try on dresses with my Bride Crew.
I found Bridely on Instagram and fell in love with their content, style, and creative humor. But when I went to their website to make an appointment they were all booked up during my short visit. But I loved their look so much that I called the store to see if I could get put on a waiting list in case any appointments canceled. Not only was Kelly the sweetest person to talk to she opened her store early so we could come in!
It was such a special experience. We had the store to ourselves so I got to pick the music (where else am I going to get to hear Lake Street Dive while trying on beautiful dresses??) and my girls loved getting to shop the racks while I was putting on new dresses.
The prices are reasonable, same as everywhere else I went, I told Kelly I was having a Mexican destination wedding, I was drawn to lace and bohemian looks, but most importantly I wanted something super unique and she delivered!
I would absolutely recommend Bridely to everyone, Kelly went above and beyond for me and I will never forget. Plus she has the best location and the best looking shop, you have to...
Read moreCaroline was my bridal consultant and I cannot say enough positive things about her. Wedding dress shopping turned out to be much easier than I ever imagined. Caroline possesses remarkable skill and talent. I went in with a specific style and vision for my wedding dress and she was very attentive to my requests. However, having tried on several dresses I never got the WOW factor. She was very positive and optimistic that they had a dress for me. That's when Caroline decided to change it up. After listening to me point out all the positive and negative attributes of each dress I tried on, Caroline used her knowledge and expertise to pull a new dress from the rack. Before I even saw myself in the mirror, I could hear my best friend gasp and hear the excitement in her voice. When I looked up it was the most stunning, bridal gown I have ever seen. I felt like a bride!! It was a dress I would have never chosen for myself. It had everything I wanted in my wedding dress, just a different style. I was able to say, YES TO THE DRESS, all thanks to Caroline. God bless you! So if you are looking for a bridal consultant that is super bubbly, efficient, knowledgeable, trustworthy and adaptable, go to Bridely Boutique and ask for Caroline! You will...
