(Review written after buying, I haven’t received dress- I can add that experience after it arrives.)
From booking the appointment to purchasing my dress, Lovely Bride was a wonderful experience. This was my third, and final stop in the search. Previously I went to amsale as well as Madison ave shops (for maybe a less traditional bridal gown, but opted for traditional as you’ll read below)
A friend who just got married suggested Lovely Bride for their customer service and the variety they have- a large variety but not overwhelming or chaotic like the klienfelds of the industry. Funny thing too- one of my two friends that came to the appointment with me actually got her dress at Lovely Bride 10 years prior!
Now the main reason I wanted to write a review was to recommend to any bride to work with JILLIAN! She reached out a week or so ahead of my appointment to ask questions in the most polite, compassionate way (it’s like she sensed I may be overwhelmed with the process even before i said i was!) she had a wonderful enthusiasm and listened to all the things I mentioned ahead. When I arrived she was so welcoming to me and my two friends and had the dresses I selected ready to go. She was a master at rigging the dress with the clips to make it look like what it would after alterations- so you have confidence in what you are buying.
She helped me very quickly find my dress (that will include some custom made shawl, but she rigged one with a veil, and quickly confirmed the designer could do it!)
About 3 weeks after buying it my mom came to town and Jillian set up a second visit so I could show my mom what I looked like in it, in person. It meant so much to my mom- and Jillian did this with a smile and ease.
I am sure that the other associates are wonderful- from my personal experience I loved working with Jillian, she’s a key reason why I bought there. And I know any friend who gets engaged I will suggest they go see Jillian at Lovely Bride!
