There are truly not enough stars available for what I would like to rate "The Wedding Dress". Abbie is one of the most genuine people and she made my entire dress shopping experience incredibly memorable. During my visit, she allowed my friends and family to shop the racks while she also pulled dresses she thought I would like based on the feedback I was giving her. I felt so seen and understood and I will continue to sing her praises to anyone and everyone that I can. There is no better shop or person to go to in the area. Abbie is the best there is and I will forever be grateful to have found her!

As my wedding date approaches in the next couple of weeks I just had to share how wonderful Abbie is. I got my dress about a year ago and the experience was so stress free. Abbie is so accommodating and helpful. She is very responsive to any and all questions or needs. My experience was so great that I ordered my bridesmaids dresses from her as well. She took care of everything for the girls and goes above and beyond to make sure things go right! I cannot recommend Abbie and her shop enough. Thank you so much for such a fabulous experience and making it an enjoyable time.

I had an amazing experience at The Wedding Dress! From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and at ease. Abbie was incredibly professional, friendly and attentive. She listened carefully to my preferences, she was patient and never rushed me. The selection of dresses was impressive. Overall, my experience at The Wedding Dress was exceptional! I highly recommend this boutique to any bride-to-be looking for a stress free & fun shopping experience!

I could not speak more highly of Abbie and my entire dress experience at The Wedding Dress! In January 2020 right before the pandemic Abbie helped me coordinate a beautiful Champagne Sunday with all my sisters, my mom, my aunts, my sister in laws, my mother in law, and finally one of my best friends! We had the shop all to ourselves and had light snacks and obviously champagne! Not only did she help me find a perfect dress but she made picking it a beautiful part of my wedding experience! Well worth the extra money I spent to reserve a Champagne Sunday!

As a plus size bride, I didn't have much hope finding a dress at a boutique rather than the big box store (I'm not sure why I thought that they were for model sized ladies) ... But Abbie had plenty of options to show me that would come in my size and even if the samples didn't quite fit she made it work so I could figure out if I liked the dress. It was so relaxing and comfortable.

The pandemic slowed down the dress delivery but Abbie kept me up to date through the whole process. It was out of her control but she made she I was well informed and comfortable that she was doing everything she could.

For alterations, she recommended Dora who is a seamstress they worked with and that was a gem of an experience as well. She was professional and skilled and riot to chat with!

My many sisters have gone to David's bridal for their dresses and none of this was sure how'd this would go but I could not be more thankful that some one recommended The Wedding Dress to me!

If you are in the market for a wedding dress or bridesmaid dress, I’d highly recommend you visit Abbie at The Wedding Dress! Abbie listened to everything I was looking for, and pulled all sorts of different dresses to help me find my dream dress AND the perfect veil. I was able to customize my veil adding a second layer to a single layer fingertip length veil, and customize the size of my dress for a better fit. She has a range of different styles and prices for her gowns. Abbie is also super knowledgeable about the appropriate timeline for ordering gowns, and ensured I was ordering everything at the right time for my wedding. After having some difficulty with alterations, she jumped right in and connected me with an alternative seamstress so my dress would still be done on time for my wedding. I had such a great experience with my wedding dress that I knew I had to come back with my girls for their bridesmaid dresses. I can’t thank Abbie and Shelley enough for all they’ve done!

I had one certain dress in mind and I am so happy I tried on all different styles at the suggestion Shelley. From day one to taking home my dress I was provided excellent service and a seamstress was on hand for any alterations!

The Wedding Dress made my wedding in Mexico a dream come true. I would recommend this to any bride looking for your special gown. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Abbie & Shelley!!!! ?

The whole experience was amazing! I made it in just as the world was closing for Covid and Abbie, the owner was more helpful and accommodating than anything I could have asked for! Between her and the seamstress she recommended they were all so wonderful. If your looking for a dress please choose The Wedding Dress!!!

The photos still don’t do it justice everyone said they’d never seen such a ✨sparkling✨ bride

Thank you!!

Abbie and her shop are amazing! She took the time to help my daughter find the perfect dress. We tried several other shops, but after being here, nothing else measured up. Highly recommend The Wedding Dress for anyone getting married.
