"I went to a lot of different shops to try on dresses, and The Wedding Dress was so unique! Abbie is absolutely amazing! She carries a wide variety of beautiful dresses and was so talented at helping me find the perfect one. She also was able to help with every detail, from tailoring to steaming to having my dress preserved afterwards. Highly recommend!!"

"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 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!"

"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!!"
