From the reviews

I can’t recommend The Bridal Shop enough! From the start, the experience was easy, stress-free, and so special. I first visited on my own and was able to walk around and browse the dresses at my own pace, which helped me figure out my style.

★★★★★ — Doxsee, Jul 2025

My MIL and I had the most wonderful experience with Hannah and Lena! They were really accommodating and helpful with picking out the dresses based on the style we liked and fitting them on me. They make any bride feel beautiful and any family member very inclusive. They even gave us a holiday card!

Plus size bridal & formal at The Bridal Shop

The Bridal Shop comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
