Love notes from our brides...
“Believe the hype!!!! This place is IT! I went to 8 stores and tried on 34 dresses to find the one. I was looking for specific features, and most stores had couple dresses with what I wanted, but then I had to start compromising. Bridal and Formal showed me ONLY dresses with everything I wanted. My consultant Bobbie was able to pull like 8 dresses that checked all my boxes. She was so positive and bubbly, and made me feel comfortable and confident during my visit."
Molly T.
“I just bought my dress from Bridal & Formal and could not be happier with my experience! Randy from “Say Yes to The Dress” comes by there twice a year & he personally asked me the big question - “Are you saying yes to the dress?” Such a special experience!"
Kayla G.
“The staff at Bridal and Formal were amazing. They really took the time to listen to what I wanted and the budget that I wanted to stick to, and right away, they found something that checked all the boxes. They were so respectful, professional and fun, and made the entire experience enjoyable for me and my entire bridal party. On top of all that, the bridal shop is beautiful and has a wide selection of dresses. Would highly recommend!"
Lindsey B.
“Absolutely loved the experience I had here. After numerous other bridal shops this one takes the cake. Thanks Bridal and Formal!"
Alexandria W.
“My mom “said yes” at Bridal & Formal a little over 30 years ago, and I recently said yes there as well! The team is fantastic, the selection is massive, and anything you could want from designer to more budget friendly options are there. I thought I came in with an “idea” of the dress, and found something I loved even more! Special thanks to Lacrecia my consultant for the day for helping make the experience extraordinary!"
