The Lovely, Megan Gee

"Thank You SO MUCH for all of your help! I loved my dress so much. It was so perfect for me and was everything I wanted!" - Megan

Megan's wedding was timeless and classic. You won't be seeing anything in her pictures that she could potentially regret in 30 years. Her pronovias gown had that Audrey Hepburn/Jackie O style.. She had our seamstress add the half sleeve with a cuff and buttons to the bottom which really kept with the integrity of the gown. I absolutely love and adore Megan's wedding. She knew from the beginning what she was going for and she nailed it. Thanks for the pictures Megan and to Kate Benson Photography.

Chelsea Taylor

The Brides' Shop and Elise,

I wanted to write and thank you for your fabulous service. It's been six months since my wedding, and I regret not being able to thank you earlier, but I couldn't be happier with my dress. Here are some pictures of how it all turned out. Can you believe this is the same dress we started with? Credit for all the accessories goes the The Bride's Shop.

Thanks again,

Chelsea

I was so excited to see that Chelsea sent a couple of photos of her dress this week! Her wedding was 6 months ago and I was worried I wasn't going to get to share her outstanding alterations. Chelsea was so sweet to work with and had visions of amazing ideas. I was so glad to help her make these ideas become real. Once upon a time her gown was strapless with vertical pleats and a flower where she added a broach. Take a look.

Thank you Chelsea! I hope marriage is amazing!

Kendra fell in love with a very vintage and timeless Pronovias gown. It fit her figure so well and I think the pictures turned out beautifully. We were able to select a few of our favorites to share with you.

We send our best wishes to the happy couple!

Andrea and Andrej

"I do have to say that in the relentless quest for my wedding dress, I went to dozens of local wedding dress stores, and the service received at The Brides' Shop was bar none. Elise was such a pleasure to work with, so patient, generous, kind, and professional. Thank you for such a pleasant experience." -Andrea

Let me start by saying, I have never had a bride who worked so hard at finding the perfect dress. I feel like I gained two friends during the time before Andrea found her dress, Andrea and her mom. They were such a sweet pair, but they were determined to not stop until they knew it was the one. As you'll see below her search was well worth it. She is so fashion forward in her Pronovias gown and it couldn't have fit the venue any better. Let me share with you what she shared with me about her dress hunt experience.

"I spent a year looking for THE dress. I looked at over 3,000 dresses on the internet, and it feels like I tried on just as many...I wanted a classic dress - no lace, no beading, something timeless but "with the times." No dress could compare to the Alison. The structure of the dress is incredibly beautiful, and the fabric so unique. People on the streets of Dubrovnik were approaching me to compliment the dress. It's truly is magnificent."

The two were married August 6th in what Andrea calls the most incredible city, Dubrovnik, Croatia. The actually ceremony was held at a 17th century church inside the Old Town of Dubrovnik, Church of St. Ignatius.

Andrea said the entire day was incredibly special so it was difficult to pick her favorite moment. They were surrounded with their loving families and friends. They celebrated until four o'clock in the morning! I have to put word for word what she said about their very favorite part of the day. "...If we had to pick just one, we'd say our favorite moment was walking around the Old Town in Dubrovnik. After the wedding ceremony, our guests headed to the reception place, and we had about an hour to ourselves. The pressure was off, the nerves settled, and we had the opportunity to reflect on the new chapter in our lives...finally, husband and wife."

Best Wishes to you both!!!

Laura Newman

Laura was such a fun and down-to-earth bride, I can't use that phrase very often. She was so easy to work with and had very "simply elegant" taste. I was so happy with how she added a very simple strap to her strapless gown. Let me share with you the experience Laura had and also some of the stunning photos she sent me of her big day! Laura isn't only absolutely gorgeous but she's smart too! Yes, fellas she's taken but she did graduate from John Hopkins!

"For a girl who didn't know the first thing about wedding dress shopping... I couldn't have been happier with the service and treatment I received at The Brides' Shop! I had visited one store before my appointment with Elise, and the girls at that boutique shop gave me the same over-the-top routine I imagine they give all brides that walk through their doors. I walked in to The Brides' Shop not expecting much different, but I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised! Elise was honest with her opinions and comments, and listened to me in order to get a better idea about my personality and what dresses I might like. I found my dress that day, per her suggestion, and it was perfect!! The alterations turned out beautifully (I had my entire top re-designed) and incredibly fast too! My wedding date was moved up 2 months, and all other shops were asking for rush fees to get it ready in time -- they had it done for a fraction of the cost. All in all, a great experience... and to top it off, the compliments I received on my wedding day confirmed what I knew all along -- the dress was AMAZING!! Thank you!!"

Laura, we wish you nothing but the best! Congrats!

Megan Corrent

Megan lit up our little shop when she came in. Her parents were equally as darling as she was, and I knew she would have to have a very special gown. She fell in love with this beautiful raw silk gown by Angelina Faccenda. She made it her own by using a belt to create a really ornate flower piece on the side. Look at the pictures  below and see how well the raw silk photographs. Thanks Megan!

Congrats Megan!!!
