GARNET + grace Bridal Boutique

"Huge thank you to Karina for showing me what a real bridal appointment should feel like! She made me feel comfortable, heard, and important - which is a lot to say considering my introverted personality and previous negative experience at another bridal shop. She made me feel unashamed and confident about my low budget, and made me feel like we had all the time in the world to find the right dress. We tried out so many different looks, and the dress I ended up loving and taking home was one I wasn't describing at the start. Karina helped guide me to find the dress that made me feel the most beautiful and confident, and made a welcoming environment to do so. I'm extremely excited to wear it on my day, and am grateful for crossing paths with Karina to help mend, and go beyond an originally negative bridal experience. Thank you!"

"I had a great experience with Morgan as the bridal consultant. She called me beforehand to found out what I wanted out of my dress. On arrival, she had already pulled some looks that aligned with what I wanted. She was encouraging, personable, and knowledgeable and didn’t feel pushy in any way. Everyone in the store clearly cares about uplifting their brides. There was a very positive vibe that made me feel confident. I left with a dress that I felt was made for me. Thank you so much!"

"I've had the pleasure of working with Angie during my visit in January. Though I did not leave with saying "yes" to the dress, Angie was so kind and patient with me during the whole process. Love the reveal drapes for the dresses we are comfortable showing our guests. I also love how I was able to wear the dress and do a full walk with veil + bouquet. It definitely gave me a sense of the big day! Though I did not find "the one" here, I still had a fun experience. Keep up the great work, Angie!"

"Just an overall lovely boutique. Everyone there was super friendly and accommodating. My stylist Christina was an absolute gem, answered all my random questions. From looking at my inspiration pictures and listening to my preferences she actually managed to pick the dress I ultimately chose on her first try-- though obviously I then went through over a dozen other dresses and dithered before I came back to it. Christina was super knowledgable about which things could be altered and what could be added/removed from dresses. Since this is an off-the-rack shop (even more impressive that she's basically got every dress memorized and can pick out your style from your initial descriptions) knowing what can be changed is a huge plus. She was also suuuuuper great with finding me a veil that could be made into the "cape" that I so desperately wanted. We went through a lot of pinning things this way and that way and adjusting dresses or adding fabric to figure out what things might look like after alterations. We went well over our booking time and no one rushed us or appeared even the least bit irritated. It was a light day for them (no other brides-to-be left waiting) so both stylists there were happy to keep trying to identify likely dress candidates, adjust cape ideas, brainstorm dress changes, etc. And in the end the price was so damn reasonable. I'd been worried that dress shopping was really going to balloon out my budget but everything worked out great! I even had another store lined up to try-on dressings at after this that I ended up cancelling because I didn't need it!"

"I HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE AT GARNET + GRACE! Hayley was my stylist and she was the most welcoming person who had a consultation with me before my visit to really understand my needs. She hyped me up in each dress and made me feel no pressure at all... but I did walk away with TWO dresses that I love. This store is a ready to wear store. They had many dresses on sale at the time I came and they carried smaller and larger sizes. Being petite I wasn't sure if I would find anything that fit me in this store but to my surprise I found many that I loved. I ended up finding two dresses and the total was less than $1500 which was my original budget. Both the dresses were on sale. I'm not sure if the sale is always going on. I highly recommend checking out Garnet + Grace!! Note: The photos in this review are not the dresses I ended going with!"
