Jenn wrote for weddingwire:10/26/2011 “Kathi was fantastic to work with! She takes all of the stress out of the gown process. We also rented our tuxedos through her, which was great as well. A few things came in the wrong size, but they were quickly exchanged or (accommodated) to get the right fit. My dress came early, in exactly the right size. There were some customizations on the attached fabric I had done through the alterations business next door…. I like everyone who (work) at Kathi's shop - they are all wonderful!”

Pinkadoodlez wrote this for weddingwire:  “I went all over Oregon in search of the perfect wedding dress. Tried on hundreds and nothing worked. But then I went to Simply Grand. They were so helpful. She picked out 1 dress for me. I tried it on and it was the one. She really had a good eye for what would look good on me. I have heard similar stories from others about Simply Grand.”

“Buyer beware. Very unhappy mother of the bride.”
Unfortunately, not every buyer is able to be accommodated as they see it.  There are no formal complaints against this Tampa business.

At Emelina's Bridal and Boutique, Emelina and her staff try hard to satisfy everyone who comes through the door.  Emelina knows her reputation with the families she has served over the years is very important.  She has dressed some of her brides since their Quince dress  to Prom and now to the wedding day. This business reputation is not taken lightly.

Emelina Calles has talent and an artistic sense and this allows her to include the service of making custom made gowns.

CM Olson wrote this Google review:
“I made an appt at Sublime after reading mixed reviews on most places in Omaha. The staff was exactly my style, helpful and made suggestions but not pushy. The store just has a couple fitting rooms so no feeling like you are competing for service. I bought the second dress I tried on and should be in any day. Nothing but good things to say so far!! “ 

Sublime Couture written by dazyabbey for the knot:
“I saw them at the bridal show on the 10th at the DC Centre and I decided I would check them out. When I went in I was a little disappointed because they were mainly occasion gowns like prom and events and then they had some 'bridesmaids' dresses but I only saw about 7 wedding dresses. I have been to numerous dress shops and I have never seen a shop like this one before. I picked out about 2 dresses and then they took me to the changing rooms in the back and they probably had another 5-6 dresses back there. The dresses probably started around 800-900$ and went up from there. They do have a lot of dresses that I have never seen and one that I loved but not sure if I want to spend that much money. The ladies in the shop were great and they were very honest and professional. I wanted to try on this other dress as well but I didn't want to have them take it off the manequin. So out of their dresses I tried on three and honestly I loved all three. They were great and I was very suprised that with their low amount of selection that I found so many that I liked. They said they are getting more dresses on a weekly basis and have a large shipment of Pronovious dresses coming in October. It was a nice little boutique. It was fun to go to and you might find something.”

Sublime Couture is listed with an A- rating from the Better Business Bureau and has no unresolved complaints.   The latest news for Sublime is the opening of their separate shop in the same plaza.  Sublime Bridal opened on April 21,2012.

“I can not speak highly enough of Enchanted Bride. I found the most beautiful unique dress that anyone has ever seen! It was made by a local designer and it wasn't mass produced. I will never see anyone with my wedding dress besides myself. The entire experience with them was exactly how you see in the movies of rich people. They cater too your every need and go above and beyond what is expected of them. Anyone that is getting married needs to check this place out before they go to a local wedding chain otherwise they will severely be missing out!” Gerri wrote on 11/5/11. www.Weddingwire.com/reviews/the-enchanted-bride-st-louis

Beth explains why so many brides are excited and love the shop. “We are really thorough...”, she explains.  They must be because the Better Business Bureau has no reports of issues registered in the past three years.  Beth says they have an outstanding record of customer service.

There will always be those who differ in opinion, however that is the dilemma of any business.
Worse than "church lady"  by phoenix1032 at Citysearch

I found a beautiful dress but not until I asked if the owner was there. The sales lady was horrible, she said they did not have a dress within my budget (under $700). I did not get excellent service until the owner came back and talked with me. Pros: Many styles not available elsewhere,  Cons: Judy

The very positive comment and even from the negative reviews is that The Enchanted Bride carries styles not offered in other shops.  Don't hesitate to see the glamorous gowns that will make you wedding day dreams come true.
