"I scheduled a bridal fitting and purchased my gown here. Fair prices, I couldn’t imagine spending what some of my friends do on a dress (over ten thousand dollars)! It was easy to schedule the appointment online a few weeks in advance. In the welcome email, they link you to the current inventory of the store. Knowing that the time of the appointment would be limited to 5-6 dresses, I did my homework and picked a few dresses I know I would like and a few wildcards for fun. I shopped with my mom, sister and now husband (we are only a little-stitious haha). They were all offered sparkling wine and there was plenty of seating for them. As is typical for me, I ended up buying my first choice. Actually, I debated whether to keep trying on the others since I was sure the first one would be it, but my group encouraged me to make the most of my appointment. The purchase was easy, swiped a card and it was shipped to home. They email you a list of recommended tailors—highly recommend Halena Couture!"

"I tried on wedding dress here recently and did not have a great time. I felt very rushed and the women helping just acted like she wanted to go home the entire time, even ending our appointment 15 minutes early and didn’t make any suggestions for what dresses I should try. I am a size 16-18 and while they have plenty of options online, in store in lacking."

"Alyssa was wonderful and helped keep the experience low key and stress free! I thought I would get overwhelmed but she was so great :)"

"Made an appointment to do some safe wedding dress shopping. I was able to fill out all the information online and let them know what gowns I wanted to try on before going in. The stylist assigned to me had a facemask and shield and showed me how to clip the gown myself as she was unable to go in and help per safety guidelines. She was super helpful giving me lots of different types of dresses to try on as this was my first appointment. She was also super respectful of finding something in my budget and suggesting items that would look flattering on me with her knowledge and experience of what was in stock. Also no pressure to make a purchase but was honest about order times and what was in stock and what wasn't. Kind of weird trying a dress on with a mask but there weren't many people in the store and everyone seemed to be practicing safety precautions (social distancing, mask wearing, gloves) at the store."

"I want to give a belated shoutout to the saleswoman at this location who absolutely went above and beyond the help me find my wedding dress! After a custom dress fiasco at another salon, I came here three months before my wedding day absolutely desperate and willing to settle for just about anything. My stylist saw how stressed I was and made sure I felt relaxed, offered me and my mom champagne, and made sure we could pause and actually enjoy this process. The stylist truly listened to me and pulled every dress she had with the long sleeves I wanted, and expertly got me into and pinned each one to shape. I was given plenty of time to mull over each dress and the stylist was very patient when I wanted to try on the two I was stuck between a few more times. She offered helpful and professional opinions and helped me style the look with a veil and earrings. It was like an old friend was guiding me through the process and I so appreciated that. I wish I remembered her name, but she's from Palo Alto and went to school at Bama, so we bonded over going to SEC schools. Thank you for your kindness and for making this process fun again, as it should be! This was truly my dream wedding dress."
