Best Godmother Dresses Boston Near Me

Madison: I felt so special today. I didn’t know exactly what I liked and Ruth was patient and helped talk me through different styles to figure out what fit me best. Overall I felt comfortable and not rushed at all. Ruth brought me so many different styles and was so informative and helpful. They were so nice. Thank you Pronovias!!

Bridie Vail: I had the most amazing experience at Pronovias at Copley Mall in Boston. I wanted to find a dress that was truly “me”Ruth, along with my ladies who came with me, found me the perfect wedding dress. Ruth was so accommodating! She helped me in and out of all the dresses and showed others that I might like. All and all she and the store were amazing

Katelynn Badger: Best place in Boston to find a wedding dress! Nina was phenomenal—I looked online ahead of time and she got most of the styles I wanted to look at in the store within a few days.

Emily M: When I first looked up Pronovias Boston, I was honestly a little intimidated. I was worried they wouldn't have dresses in my price range and I worried that it would be too high end/upscale and I wouldn't fit in.But I was able to reach out to store via email to figure out some prices and styles and I instantly felt welcomed by Ruth (who I believe is the store manager).When I came in for my appointment, I felt welcomed by everyone and anyone I came into contact with was down to earth, friendly, and helpful!Most importantly, their selection is so large, that I was able to find the PERFECT dress for me that I never would have imagined even existing! I highly recommend!

Keila Lopez: Terrible experience, don’t waste your time and go somewhere else with a more personable staff

Jane Tsuang: Had a fantastic bridal experience with my daughter at Copley location. We were able to browse the bridal collections, try on many dresses. It was a very relaxed appointment without pushy sales or rushing us through the appointment. The appointment was restricted to 2 guests, however, we were able to go back after dinner for other members of the family to see her favorite dress. We did end up saying 'YES' to the dress and also 'YES' to the mother of the bride gown! It was so much fun. I did asked about the negative reviews regarding alterations and previous customer complaints - Lindsay and Marelen were both very frank and honest about the challenges they had with resources, shipping, and scheduling through out the pandemic resulting in backlogs in dresses and alteration scheduling. I am confident that having ordered a dress more than a year in advance that we hope to minimize scheduling issues. Thanks for the team at Pronovias for making it a fun experience!

Angelo Rutigliano: The 1 star is for the Customer Service team based in Barcelona (Valentina). Long story short they do not allow returns/store credit after purchases, even if you realize 5mins after the purchase that Saks Fifth Avenue) sells the same product 50% less. BEWARE and take your time to verify prices somewhere else (even internet).

Katja Hall: I had a great experience at Pronovias both picking out my dress and with alterations. I had to reschedule a fitting and they were very accommodating. My dress was done on time and they helped me shoot a video of how to bustle it which made the wedding day a lot easier! I’m really looking forward to seeing what my dress looks like after the Second Life alteration!

Samantha Lawyer: I had an amazing experience trying on bridal gowns at the Pronovias Boston store! I had already fallen in love with a particular Pronovias gown, and wanted to make sure it was 'the one' alongside my family members. Ruth showed us the original dress that inspired our visit, as well as several other dresses in a complete range of styles. She was patient, friendly, and well-informed about the gowns in the store. It was a wonderful experience all around for myself and my family. Would highly recommend as part of anyone's bridal journey!

Yi Guo: Becareful with using their booking system. They don't care if you got tested positive for covid. If you don't show up you get charged the $50 no show fee even if you cancel or reschedule the appointment.

Morgan Furber: Ruth made my experience at Pronovias wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about their various collections and really listened to what I was looking for. I would recommend shopping here!

Caroline Atwood: I had seven bridal appointments prior to Pronovias Boston and none were as helpful in finding my gown. My personal assistant (whose name I can't remember as it's been a few months) was fantastic in listening to what I wanted and providing styles which I asked to try on as well as other ones I might like. She also didn't stop the appointment at 90 minutes and really wanted me to get exactly what I wanted. I walked away with a stunning gown suggested by her but one that I would have never tried on myself. The staff also treated my mom with such kindness. It was such a win and I can't wait to rock my bridal look!

Heather McHale: Anna was simply outstanding! The whole experience from start to finish was more than I could ask for. I absolutely fell in love with a dress and can’t wait for the big day. Please visit Pronovias- simply the best!

Christine O' Brien: I had the best experience . The girl I had was so patient and very knowledgeable . And my dress I pick is Exquisite! The quality of the pronovias dresses is worth every penny .

Amanda Atkins: Ruth was wonderful! I’m still deciding on my gown but couldn’t be more appreciative of such a lovely experience. Thank you!

Kellie Helm: Thank you to the Pronovias team for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!

Julianne Bliss: I am set to get married in October and bought my dress in January. Both times I have had a scheduled fitting they called and asked me to move my appointment backwards to accommodate other people (today included and my second fitting was supposed to be Monday). I find this both completely nerve wracking and also very unprofessional. They mentioned they are moving me to accommodate a bride who is getting married this week and her dress isn’t even done yet! I also was told by one rep that she did not know why I was charged a fee by another rep. It seems like total chaos here. Not a fault of the reps but of management.If I knew this was going to be the case I would have gotten my dress somewhere else and I would recommend others do the same.I just hope to god my dress is ready for my wedding the way I want it to be! Not at all what I expected from Pronovias or how I wanted this experience to be.Update: I am getting married in one week and needed to go and take my dress from them and bring it to a new tailor to make sure that it gets done on time. I will be paying a rush fee and the condition of the dress when I picked it up was such that the new tailor needs to undo a lot of sloppy work and redo it. There were stains on the dress as well which now need to be cleaned. I am appalled at the customer service and overall management at this store. Appalled.Notice how the owner has commented on many of the five star reviews here but has actively avoided the negative ones of the ladies who had a bad experience with alterations ? This is how they treat clients when they mess up- by avoiding them. Shop somewhere else.

Brooke Snow: Mayka was my attendant, and she was phenomenal. She was incredibly helpful and kind. I'm so happy I purchased my dress at Pronovias.

Michelle Ganon: Dispiriting experience. Our salesperson was unengaged, slow to bring dresses, and unresponsive to requests for different styles or ideas. We arrived with high hopes and left feeling as though we’d been a burden. I’m actually glad Kels didn’t fall in love with a dress because I would not want to have to go back.

Sheryl L: I’ve tried on dresses at multiple price points and the dresses at Pronovias were the sweet spot between $2-3k. You can really feel the quality of these dresses and their designs are all flattering and beautiful. Ruth was instrumental in me finding my dress that weekend as she was incredibly helpful, patient, and accommodating. It’s also not a super high pressure sales environment which I personally really liked and appreciated in order to get clarity on selecting my top choice. Many thanks to Pronovias Boston for a wonderful experience!

FXstudio: Love her boutique, I choose her design for my wedding because of the quality of her dress,the design and attention to detail. And she listen to what you need and super friendly. Highly recommend.

MAXIMUS RIVADENEIRA: Best place in South Boston to look for a bridal dress!! Ask for Candice !!!

Jessica: I came to Candice with a vague idea of what I wanted in a wedding dress, and she designed the perfect dress for me. My custom, gorgeous dress was much less expensive than if I had gotten a designer dress and then fitted it. She's also so much faster than that process. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and good at what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone. If you have an idea or a dress you love but is out of your price range, go see Candice. She will help you get your perfect dress exactly made for you.

Amy: I had a wonderful experience working with Candice. I needed a wedding dress that incorporated red and white colors for a traditional Chinese wedding. Candice helped me design and craft a beautiful, one of a kind dress. From sketching the design to picking the fabric, she made sure the dress reflected what I loved but also openly shared her thoughts on what may work better stylistically. When seeing me hesitating between 2 color choices, she made me two dresses that clearly showed why she thought one worked better than the other! I knew I wanted my dress to be perfect, but to have a designer who also wanted it to be perfect was awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Ellen Lee: Candice is the BEST! her designs are beautiful and she has a look for every bride. She made me feel like a princess. Definitely go!

ping h chen: Excellent experience!!! I was looking for a dress for a year and I could not find anything that I liked. One day my friend referraled me to Candice, she's very nice and professional, from sketch to the final dress been made it was the best process ever, my dress are absolutely stunning, I definitely recommend these bridal to be who wants a custom made gown.

ALF: Having my dress made by Candice Wu for my upcoming wedding has made me so incredibly happy. Her attention to detail, client service and professionalism goes above and beyond. I highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding dress to go see her. Candice Wu is so gifted and talented. Your wedding dress will not just be any dress, but a custom made gown tailored for only you. It's an opportunity you shouldn't miss. I'm very pleased with my experience and counting down the days to wear my beautiful wedding gown created by Candice Wu Couture.

Janny Xie: Candice designed my wedding gown exactly as I had imagine, 'simple elegance' !! It was perfectly fitted and she was very helpful. I highly recommend her dresses for every bride to be.

Amanda Panda: I bought my wedding dress from Candice Wu , I love it so much , it looks very elegant , and it perfectly fit . Candice is a very nice girl and talented designer

mikizn: Love her dresses. Elegant and detail! She would hand pick the perfect material for your dream dress. Each dress she makes is one of a kind and unique. My girl friend worn her dress for her wedding and the dress was gorgeous! So many crystals and sparkle. Wish I used her for my own wedding dress.

Wennie Guan: Gorgeous design ! Everything run so smooth , the dress arrived with a dust cloth for a very nice package. All the incredible details, I can't wait to Put it on.

Enia Sadikov: Every single piece is handcrafted in details! gracefully done work...

Diana Cerrone: Absolutely gorgeous, one-of-a-kind gowns.. if you love crystals/beading and heavy embellishment then look no further..each gown is unique and breathtaking...its like you are being whisked to fairy-tale land!

Ping Lee: I came here the other day with my daughter to find a wedding dress for her wedding in april. The place was beautiful and the designer Candice was fabulous. She was actually in the store at the time and was patient with my picky daughter and helped her pick out a wonderful dress. Will definitley recommend her my friends' daughters!

Christine Lee: Love her designs!! I love how intricate and detailed the dresses are, you can tell that time was definitely spent on these dresses.

Linda Cuccurullo: Amazing designs, incredibly talented designer - you have to see these bridal gowns to believe how gorgeous they are! You'll want to get married just to wear one

Samantha Bauer: L'elite Bridal made my dream dress! I fell in love with a strapless Amsale dress and was able to customize it further to add in sleeves and alter the backside of the dress. It came out PERFECT! Each fitting went so smoothly and it was so fun watching my dress turn into my dream wedding gown. I also got my stunning Amsale veil from them. Everything was so beautiful and I am so thankful for L'elite for making my dream dress and couldn't be happier.

Ligia Miclau: Ali and Ysabel were absolutely amazing, they went above and beyond making this process so easy. Bought the dress online without seeing it but they were so helpful sending videos and pictures, answering every question, great communication and a wonderful experience! Thank you!

Liz Shtrahman: L'elite Bridal was absolutely amazing and saved my wedding! I had bought a custom made dress at another bridal shop on Newbury Street, and it was a complete disaster. Two days before my wedding at my last alteration fitting I realized that I could not sit down or dance in my dress at all (hadn't thought to try and everyone kept saying it all looks great). I frantically started calling other bridal shops asking if they had off the rack gowns. L'elite told me come right over and they went above and beyond to help me. They had a room full of discounted off the rack gowns. I tried on several and they all actually looked pretty great. I picked my favorite and they were able to devote their entire seamstress team to altering my gown in 24 hrs. My dress from L'elite was so much more beautiful that the original one and no one could believe that I had bought it two days before my wedding. I wish I had gone to L'elite Bridal in the first place! I have no idea why their google rating isn't higher they are amazing, kind, and on very on top of it!

Mary Farmer: If you are looking for an amazing bridal experience- choose L’elite. Mona made my whole family and me feel welcome and excited. From the time we got there, we knew we would be leaving with the dress of my dreams! Mona listened to all of my preferences and also redirected me to try new things when she thought they would look great on me. I could not have asked for a better store or consultant.

Katie Swoap McLane: If you’re looking for a place to get your wedding dress in Boston, go to L’elite! I worked with Lauren at L’elite, who was fantastic – she stayed within my budget, and found a dress for me that was absolutely perfect (and not at all what I imagined purchasing going in). She had an incredible eye, tons of experience, and was very efficient – I found my dress during my first appointment with her. I found working with Lauren & the selection at L’elite to be superior to the stylists and selections at GLL and Flair. L’elite’s in-house tailoring also made it super easy to get the dress altered.Ask for an appointment with Lauren, and go to L’elite!

Hannah Jones: After trying on LOTS of dresses (and even buying 2...) I was very much starting to think I was never going to find THE dress. I went to L'elite planning to shop off of their rack since my wedding was only 7 months away, but they pulled designers that would be able to work with my time frame. I found a gown I loved but something was just not quite right, and the team at L'elite helped me work with the designer (Ines Di Santo) to combine the top of one of her dresses with the bottom of another to create my absolute dream dress! When the dress arrived a month early, I was absolutely ecstatic and so so happy with the results. I also used their alterations team and they did a fantastic job and listened carefully to all of my requests. Highly recommend!

Rosie Silva: I loved my experience with Lelite- I called so many different bridal shops because I had a fast turn around time from my engagement to wedding. Most bridal shops turned me away. Lelite assured me there will be a solution and I would find the dress of my dreams and I did not have to settle. The customer service was incredible and the dress attendant read my body language and helped me pick out the perfect style!

Lisa Van orden: For the most part my experience in the studio was good. Isabelle was helpful. I found a gown that I wanted from Ines Di Santo there after calling and asking if they had the dress off the rack or a sample….I was changing my gown last minute. They quoted me a price and said that the gown should be sent out for cleaning. I received a call from them stating that the dress had returned from cleaners with blue stains on the back, unfortunately they believed that the dry cleaners got chemical on the gown. The gown is 100% silk. They sent it to be cleaned again…they told me that the dry cleaner would ship the gown to me directly when complete. I received the gown only a few weeks before my wedding and luckily was able to have alterations done.. my tailor said that the dress was badly damaged and there were stains all over the gown on the front and on the back and the fabric and lining was pulling and bunching. I am not sure what type of dry cleaner they used but they were unsuccessful. (This is more of an issue with the cleaners but I received the gown in a plastic bag which was rolled up in a ball inside of a box) I did not receive a garment bag or any type of proper protective covering for the gown. When I went to make final payment the store had mentioned that I was responsible for sales tax, dry cleaning and shipping. I was confused because I live in NH and it had been mentioned to me that if the dress was shipped to me I would not pay for sales tax. I was quoted at $4400 but The lady said owed around $5000. I pushed back and I still ended up paying $4700 for the gown which is not what was quoted originally ($4400) I assume shipping and dry cleaning.

Iron Forged: I wanted to love them, the bridal consults were lovely and made the experience there great. But, the place is basically a scam that doesn't care about their customers. I found a dress I loved, but it was discontinued so couldn't be ordered. They offered to sell me the sample, for 30% HIGHER than the original price tag of the dress PLUS the costs of repairs it needed. It ended up being about 10k. The designer had a similar new dress, so I decided I would try that option first then decide. I told them to let me know if they were willing to come down on price and would follow-up once I tried the newer style (they didn't have it). They sold the dress in their "off the rack" store for less 2k only a week or two later. Never called, never made that offer to me. Told me they were non-negotiable on the price. They saw I came in with a decent dress budget and cared more about lining their own pockets then me as their customer. It really put a bad taste in my mouth.

Alison Gagne: Lena and staff at L’elite were wonderful to work with! They found a dress in my budget and when I initially put it on, I thought “absolutely not!” However, their eye for dresses is incredible. With a few clips, folds, a belt (and pure magic) they completely transformed the dress! After purchasing the dress, L’elite was very accommodating in scheduling fittings that would ensure my mom and sister, who live in Philadelphia, could be included. Lena is incredibly talented and essentially created a completely custom dress for me! I am so thankful for Lena and the staff at L’elite for giving me the wedding dress of my dreams!

Meagan Reardon: My experience at L’elite was best in class! From the try on process through their tailoring services, I found the perfect dress and it fit like an absolute glove. They took my vision for the day and curated a grouping of dresses for me.... I ended up buying the first dress I tried on! Super professional and helpful - would recommend going here 10/10!

Britney Martinello: I had such a wonderful experience at L’elite. Lauren helped me pick out the perfect wedding dress. She was there every step of the way. We had such a great experience we even bought our bridesmaid dresses with L’elite.

Sydni O: Had such a wonderful experience dress shopping at both L'Elite & Musette. Ali at L'Elite helped me find my dream dress. She listened to my preferences while also encouraging me to try on a variety of styles; in fact, the dress I ended up LOVING (and choosing) was a beautiful Monique Lhuillier dress that I didn't originally pull to try on (the dresses can look SO different on the hanger/on a model so don't rule anything out until you put it on!). I am so grateful Ali pulled it for me! She knew I'd love it once I put it on and she was right! The tailors at the Atelier over at Musette worked with me to customize my dress- they were able to do it all (create embellished straps, remove tulle, add bridal buttons etc). Everyone I had the pleasure of working with was so talented and kind.

Jacqueline Holliday: Simply outstanding service and a wide-ranging selection. The stylists are all very friendly and helpful but allow you to guide the process. I was surprised by the range of prices available and the personalized attention I received. There are also several designers you cannot find other places so it's a great place to find something truly unique and special.

Kenzie Raymond: I had a wonderful experience shopping at L'Elite for my wedding dress. They really listened to what I wanted and had a great variety of options. Throughout the entire process, they were responsive and helpful. They are meticulous and they tailored my dress beautifully and I was so happy with it. Definitely recommend shopping at L'Elite.

Cynthia Perkins: They were very accommodating when we were running late. Excellent people. Many lovely choices.

Katie Devine: I bought my wedding dress from a trunk show here in January 2020. As an out of town bride they did everything they could to get my dress to me before my June 2020 wedding during lockdown!

Taylor Pearson: L’elite is the only bridal shop in Boston that has trunk shows from the best designers in the world like Ines DiSanto - helping me find the dress of my dreams. Their tailoring services are unbelievable as well, making my dress fit like an absolute glove. Super professional and helpful - would recommend going here 10/10!

Serena Fasano: Beautiful dress selection and an incredible staff of kind hearted people! On many occasions I had to come alone to dress fittings but the staff made me feel like I had a community of people cheering me on and supporting me to get to my dream wedding dress. Thank you so much for everything.

Alexa Coulombe: They had a fantastic selection of dresses and were extremely professional and helpful with all my alterations - even during a global pandemic! It was amazing to have this team on my side as we re-planned our wedding.

Marjorie Muroff: Such an amazing store filled with special must have clothing!

Megan Kurose: Amazing dress and clothing shop! The owner couldn’t have been nicer, she was so helpful.

Caroline Blassick: The pieces are unique and interesting, but the quality is absolutely not matching the price. I saw numerous pieces priced at $200-300 with fraying lace, poorly finished seams, or sloppily worked buttonholes. At that price, you expect better...

JP: Great shop!Just bought a dress for a formal wedding and it is amazing. Fairly priced $400.The girls working are very helpful. I am defnitely coming back.

sandy chen: Wonderful, curated collection of sophisticated casual and evening wear from international designers. Really great customer service without high pressure to buy. Also I really satisfied and love for what I bought in soodee! Definitely soodee is my favorite place to shop in Boston !

Chloe Danitz: Beautiful merchandise and excellent quality. I’ve bought pieces from soodee that have lasted for years and are staples in my wardrobe. Not to mention I always get complimented when I wear these clothes. I recommend Soodee to anyone who is looking to add amazing pieces to their wardrobe.

MacKenzie Brown: The staff is very rude. Does not help at all. I tried a dress on and the girl in there gave me dirty looks tho whole time. If you aren't a size 0 or 2, you will have a very uncomfortable experience.

Sinead O'Brien: Would highly recommend - the person there was very helpful and suggested things for me to try on that I would not have picked up, and she found the perfect dress for me for an event in a few weeks. Great quality, good price, and an excellent experience overall.

Hamad Al-Mansoori: chic , elegant , unique and different 👌

Vanessa Hayes: This is hands down my favorite boutique in Boston. The clothes are original, and the girls who work at the store are willing to go above and beyond to make sure that you leave with everything that you need. The cloths are very unique, and very well made with great quality.I could have spent hours in there picking through each rack.The ladies that work there are smart, professional, helpful, creative and no BS.I have been shopping the newbury st location for over 10 years. And I'm still wearing the stuff I shopped from more than 10 years ago. I was very happy when they opened the Charles St location!Go there, you won't regret it!

keith mcgrath: Soodee is the must stop/shop, hidden Gem Boutique of Boston.The owner Diane, has an impeccable eye for Style, Quality and Unique Chic.My wife , who has been in the Beauty and Fashion world for over 20 years , has come to rely on Diane for her ever evolving pieces for not only herself, but her many scattered friends that have fallen in Love with SoodeeShe recently purchased a beautiful coat that Diane recommended , which she cannot wait to wear.Shopping at Soodee is always a pleasure. The staff and customer service is on point .Diane’s attention to detail , is also put into her store and more importantly, her customers.During these uncertain times , we must support and help keep , independent treasures like Soodee going.

Danielle Fragen: I always get the best dresses from here whenever I’m in Boston! They have a beautiful selection. It’s definitely pricey but the dresses are excellent quality. I actually bought the dress from here that I wore when my fiancé and I got engaged. It’s great for dresses to wear as a guest at weddings too.

Princess Ojukwu: Employees are very helpful and cater to your personal style!

Anna Perlmutter: Although there were some pretty dresses in the store, the women working in the store were incredibly rude and inconsiderate. One woman checked the sizes of my dresses that I selected before going into the dressing room and said, oh well I guess that might work. Then, when I requested a different color of the dress, she brought me the color in the size up. As I was trying this dress on that was too late for me, I heard both women talking about what size I am and how I picked the incorrect size. I didn’t really like the dress enough to buy it and I decided to leave and not give them my business. I will not be back.

Reginald Onorati: I recently bought all my girlfriend's christmas gifts at Soodee Boutique. I was so impressed to see the wide selection of clothes and jewelry they had in store. Such unique items that can't be found at chain stores like Urban Outfitters or Bloomingdales. With the help of the sales girl, Samantha, I found a perfect dress, belt, and pair of earrings for my best friends.My one friend is so picky about her clothes but she has not stopped wearing the unique belt! My other friend was so happy to be able to get a pair of magnetic earnings that were so stylish and comfortable! Needless to say, Christmas morning was a very successful gift exchange, I will definitely by back to Soodee to get all the women in my life gifts for birthdays and christmass to come!!!

david sanchez-cortes: The dresses that are purchased from SooDee are made by labels from China which the owner purchases for approximately 15 bucks a pop, then remove the tag of the label, then adds her own soodee tag, workers are forced to do this.then proceeds to price the dress at 150 Not only is this unethical but it's also illegal. buyer beware you'r getting ripped off, you'd be better off going anywhere else. screw off soodee! you're a disgrace to newbury st.

L H: I will never get over how this boutique is very stylish! The material of their clothings is super high quality. I can't pass by it and not take a look. I would highly recommend it if you have a special occasion. Very beautiful, really.

Ashley Kelly: Great selection and quality of clothes! Definitely one stop-shop!

Michael Prindle: Beautiful shop. Great stuff and very good prices. My present was a winner.

Jill Polinsky: Very unique boutique! Helpful sales people who love fashion. Clothes that are not mass produced and individual.

Karen Costello: Beautiful selection of wedding gowns. Very attentive staff!

Lauren Martel: I had a great experience at Vows, and Krystal was an amazing consultant! Having had a bad experience at another boutique, I was a little nervous to go dress shopping. They have the most gorgeous dresses, and Krystal was so friendly, helpful, and not at all pushy. I got to go through the racks twice and she also let me go through the stock room to see if we could find a discounted dress. She was very respectful of my budget and asked me if I was okay trying on every dress that was over budget, even if I had already okay-ed a dress that was even more expensive. She was efficient, gently gave me her personal opinion, and I could tell she really did want me to find the perfect dress whether I got it there or not.

Allison Pilcher: Huge selection at different price points. Susie was wonderful!

Lindsey Minahan: Highly recommend. They went above and beyond to help me find my dream dress and then to resolve a scheduling issue that was entirely my fault to make sure I had everything in time for my alterations appointment. Loved both of the stylists that I worked with. Vows is amazing!

Jaime Wall: Visited this bridal shop a couple weeks ago and had the best time. Mandy was awesome and had such good energy, it made the whole experience. We ended up coming back to Vows to say yes to my dress after going to a couple other shops we had appointment. They help you through every step of the way, in and out of dresses! Would definitely recommend others to go here.

Jillian Casey: I can't emphasize enough how great my experience was here. Going into this appointment, I had minimal expectations. I assumed I would just be trying on some dresses and leaving with a better "idea" of what I wanted. That's because I went to a different bridal shop for my first appointment and left very confused with little progress on finding a dress or even knowing what I wanted. When I showed up to Vows, I met Mandy and she literally made the whole thing such a special experience. I had ideas of what I liked but I didn't know how to articulate it and was very stressed about that. She helped me navigate all of this so well. I showed her a pinterest board I had made and she just GOT IT right away and knew what I was looking for without me needing to find the words. She was so invested in making it a special day for me whether I found my dress or not. She encouraged us to look around, ask questions, take pictures, gave us time to debrief privately - She made me feel very heard and reassured. Also she has so much energy and is so sweet (and hilarious) -- My mom, sister and I felt so comfortable with her immediately like we had known her forever. Seriously, I could cry writing this post!!! BIGGEST PART - I found my dream dress!!! If I hadn't had an appointment here, I truly feel that I would've been searching for much, much longer and potentially not have found what I was looking for. Although I didn't spend as much time with the other employees - everyone I did speak to at Vows was so sweet. We had a few questions after we left about delivery / ordering accessories etc. and have called back and they're so nice and accommodating each time. Overall, I wish I could give Vows (and Mandy) more than 5 stars. I encourage everyone who reads this (and will be encouraging all of my friends / family who are getting married) to go to Vows. You will not regret it!!

Tina Valente: I found my dress here, yesterday, and had a great experience. I highly recommend working with Sara. She’s so knowledgeable and honest. There’s so many options here, but make sure you give yourself plenty of time, some dresses take 8 months+ to be made (before alterations). Anyone could find their dress here. Highly recommend

Abby Donahue: Got bullied into buying a final sale dress that I don't like. Way above my price point. No idea how that happened, but I would not recommend shopping here.

Carley Ward: I had a great experience! My consultant was super helpful, the environment was very relaxed, and I found my gown no problem. The only annoying but was that although I had saved dresses to my account online to have pulled in advance, it didn't work and the consultant could not see what I had selected.

Loren Lachapelle: I had an extremely poor experience all around at Vows and definitely don't recommend. Wedding dress shopping should be a customized and memorable experience, but the only thing memorable was the bad customer service I received. On the shopping day, it felt extremely rushed, although I did decide on a dress at the end (though could have kept looking). When my time was up with the stylist, I felt as though I was being pushed out the door. But it was a busy day, and I understand they had to keep things moving. Fast forward to a few months later, my dress came in. I called to set up a pickup on a weekend day, as I am not local and live 3+ hours away. I simply wanted to try the dress on at pickup to see if it fit -- however, I was told I couldn't come until February if I wanted to try it on during a weekend day. Come on, this doesn't take more than 10 minutes, I thought to myself. I was frustrated and explained, again, that I'm not local and really need a weekend day. There was zero flexibility. I finally determined I'd have to take a day off from work if I wanted this dress before Feb. Fast forward again, I had a flight into Boston incoming on a Friday. I made the appointment at Vows for that afternoon to pick up/try on the dress. As it usually goes, the flight was delayed and I was cutting it close to get to Vows before they closed at 5:30. This whole time I was communicating with them, calling to say I was going to be late and/or there at the last minute. They were totally unwilling to stay open even a minute later for me to pick up my dress, even after I reminded them (again) I lived hours away. I called them when I was 0.1 miles away, stating I was stuck at a red light. The time was 5:27. They told me it was too late, they close at 5:30 no exceptions, and if I happened to get there, I would not be able to try on. I was very upset. When I got there at 5:29, the door was still unlocked thankfully, and they reluctantly let me try it on, however, the woman helping was clearly annoyed that she had to stay 4 minutes late. I thanked her for letting me try it on, stated how thankful I was for her time, apologized for being late, and also stated that I would have been disappointed if I had to drive home empty handed. The reply I got from that was "this will teach you to schedule these types of appointments on days that you travel, won't it." Totally unneeded and I was clearly just their biggest inconvenience of the day. Very very disappointed with the service I received and should have gone to a small shop in my home state.

Adrienne Jack: Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Mandy was my stylist and she is amazing. My mum and sister talked me into bridal shopping and I was skeptical I could get that excited about it, but Mandy’s energy was infectious! Vows is big so there were a lot of options but she pointed us in the right direction for my budget, understood my style straight away, listened to our feedback, and was honest with hers. The dress I chose was the first one I tried on! The sample was available to buy but I had another bridal appointment that day, and Mandy kindly kept the dress off the floor until I was ready to decide. When we came back to buy it we were helped by other staff who were also very patient, encouraging, and efficient. Liv even took the time to help me try on my dress again. We are very happy we chose Vows and feel very well taken care of by the genuinely passionate staff! 100% recommend

Megan Nowik: I had such an amazing experience with Vows finding my dream wedding dress! My group visited after a less than stellar appointment at a big box bridal shop and from the moment we walked in, I could tell Vows was different in all the best ways. My stylist, Liuba, instantly made me feel so comfortable, she listened, pulled some amazing dresses while also helping guide me to pick out a few on my own, and stayed with me the entire appointment. There were no limits on how many dresses I could try on, a huge selection, and such care taken to make sure I had a good experience. Liuba truly went out of her way to help me find the exact dress I was dreaming of within my budget and made me feel so special the whole appointment. She let me take my time and I never once felt any pressure from her. I can't recommend Vows enough and is definitely a must if you live in the area!

Ambrosia Milan: This was the first and only bridal shop I went to for my dress. A few of my friends had great experiences and found their wedding dresses here too!So thankful to the team at Vows for helping me find my dress and aiding me in selecting my veil. The team was so patient with me as I tried on dress after dress until I found the one that was beyond perfect!! I cannot say enough great things about the ladies at Vows (Mandy is a true gem!) with their help and suggestions, they understood my vision and worked tirelessly help me chose the dress that was right for me. I felt so comfortable and at ease the entire time and I feel so confident in my final decision. Would recommend any other bride to come here to find their dream wedding dress!!!

Beth Kurson: Absolutely the best bridal store!!! The selection is amazing and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. Olivia the owner couldn’t have been nicer to work with. Highly recommend!!!

Carolyn: This place has pushy staff as noted in other reviews. They ask you to make a list online in advance of the appointment, but then tell you to go to the racks and start pulling dresses without any assistance from your consultant. No other bridal shop I’ve been to is like this. My consultant was absent for most of my appointment, rushing around doing anything but helping us. They do have many dresses but they all pretty much look the same. They didn’t end up having many dresses in styles I liked, and once the saleswoman realized a sale was slipping away, she started becoming pushy about dresses I was clearly indifferent about and pulling dresses that were way out of my specific requests, both style and budget. Their selection below $2500 is subpar. They basically pressure you into trying to make an appointment to come back if you don’t walk out of there with a sale after the appointment. Honestly the whole experience felt like I was working with a car salesperson. I went to 3 other bridal shops and all were far superior to this experience. Go literally anywhere else.

Sodany Mau: I absolutely loved my experience at Vows Bridal! I had Louisa S. as my stylist and she was amazing. I liked bits and pieces of the dresses I had on my wishlist and she grabbed a dress at the last minute that had all the details I said I liked. She truly listened and understood what I was looking for. All of the other dresses I tried on were above my budget but the last one she brought it met my budget exactly. Thank you so much for making my experience so great, Louisa!

Sam Romilly: I'll start by saying they had a great selection and booking an appointment was very easy! Their front desk staff were very nice.However, the whole experience here was anything but personalized. They did not have my 5 dresses on my wishlist pre selected as noted. When we were finally allowed to come inside, we were told to wander around and look at dresses until our consultant was ready for us, our consultant kept leaving us to do other things in the alteration department that half the time it was just me in the dressing room attempting to zipper and pull the dresses on.Vows felt much more of warehouse where you had to know what you wanted. I walked out without a dress. I would recommend to someone that doesn't need guidance and will not be overwhelmed pulling your own dresses.

Mary Curran Lannibois: Excellent experience with Krystal! I'm a 40-year old that never dreamed about a wedding, so when I saw all the dresses in white I nearly froze.While trying on some dresses I picked, Krystal listened to me and asked me questions -- and I think these were clues to her about what kind of dress would suit be best. This dress, Peyton-C by Enozani, was like it was made for me. It was the style that suits my everyday style, my love for old Hollywood glamour, and it suited my French wedding. The bow was also detachable so after dinner I removed it and danced the night away!My sister found her dress at Vows and so did I! They really listen and help -- and are super friendly. There is also a lot of social media accounts with dresses geared towards younger brides, and Vows had a great selection for those of us 40-something brides!Lastly, I had excellent experiences with all the staff members at Vows. Great work, ladies!

K Y: Krystal and Mandy are incredible! I worked with both of them for my two appointments and they were so personable and really made me feel comfortable and heard while making the appt fun and focused on you.I’m so happy I found my dress at Vows and could not speak more highly about what a great experience I had and the copious amount of choices you have.

Tyla Levesque: Very great experience buying my dress, when the dress came in from the designer (nothing to do with Vows) there was something wrong with it, but Vows reached out and got me a new one made asap and had it rushed. Olivia is AMAZING and so patient and understanding. Krystle was awesome at helping me pick my dress out on the first appointment. 1000/10 I recommend anyone to go here and have told all of my friends. Thank you so much Vows for the great experience!!
