What's on the racks
“I came in 4 months before my wedding looking for my wedding dress, and this was the first large bridal shop appointment I went to.”
“My mother and I came here as my first store to try on bridal gowns, and Megan was super sweet, informative, and attentive to me and what I did and didn't like.”
What shoppers say again and again
“She made me feel beautiful inside and out, I wouldn’t have wanted any other person to take care of me today.”
“Meghan was her stylist and she catered to her and went above and beyond to make my cousins first time trying on dresses, an amazing experience.”
“I seriously cannot wait until my dress comes in and we can start the alteration process!”
From the reviews
I went here last weekend to find my wedding dress (duh) I had Evan as my consultant, not only is she the coolest woman to ever exist, she was super helpful, knowledgeable, and just an all around amazing human!
If wedding dress shopping were an Olympic sport, The Ultimate Bride in St. Louis would take the gold medal. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment we walked in, the experience felt special, exciting, and honestly just plain fun. Our consultant Denise was an absolute superstar.
I had the best experience working with Megan at The Ultimate Bride! She was incredibly kind, fun, and truly made the process of finding my dream dress so enjoyable and stress free. I never felt rushed or pressured to say “yes” to a dress during the appointment, which I feel is coming at other stores.
Denise was with me from the very beginning and let me tell you, she was absolutely wonderful!! She was very accommodating to my mom and friends, she made me feel so comfortable with changing dresses. She made me feel beautiful inside and out, I wouldn’t have wanted any other person to take care of me today.
Plus size bridal & formal at The Ultimate Bride
The Ultimate Bride 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. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
