Reviews

I urge you to search elsewhere as this shop PREVENTED me from getting my dream dress.

I went to this shop with my mom and bridesmaids. When looking at dresses with the consultant, I told her my capped budget and she confirmed.

After trying on many dresses in a strange backroom and standing on what seemed to be like an old fruit crate (??), I absolutely fell in love with a dress. We walked out in front of the large mirror, they put a veil on me, and asked if this was my dress. Before replying yes, I asked the price and  was told it was $1,500 OVER my maximum budget. Why would you put me in a dress that you know is $1,500 over my budget without warning me? Sadly, I had to leave the dress and shop elsewhere.

I ended up buying a dress somewhere else, but couldn't stop thinking about the Lovely Bride dress. My mom and I called other locations in the US that carried this designer, and we found one that would sell it to us for only $200 over my budget. I was willing to make that work for my dream dress. I was thrilled!

I chose to call Philadelphia Lovely Bride to tell them about the price I found at another location to see if they could match the price as I'd like to do business closer to home. I was told they needed to look at numbers and they would call me back with an answer. When they called me back, I was told that they contacted the designer to tell them that another store was selling it for a lower price. They essentially tattled on the other store for undercutting their sale. 

Freaking out, I called the other store back to try to finalize the sale, and they said that the designer contacted them and they could no longer sell the dress to me for that price. 

Thank you Lovely Bride for putting me in a dress I couldn't afford, parading me around the store knowing I was falling in love with it but couldn't afford it, and then preventing me from buying it elsewhere when I found it at a price I could afford.

Everyday as I plan for my wedding, I regret calling you to offer you my business. What. A. Mistake.

Went to Lovely Bride for my first ever bridal appointment. The bohemian, boutique-style shop was very cute. Jess made me, my mom and sister feel very comfortable. She was very helpful and helped me find a definite contender for the big day!

If I could give more than five stars, I would. Lovely Bride was our second stop today. Immediately upon walking in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. After taking us back to our room, Ivy asked a few questions about the wedding and what I was looking for, and took me out to the dresses and expertly picked out a handful that she thought would be best. As soon as she zipped up the first dress, I knew I would find the one at Lovely Bride. 
Ivy was not pushy at all and discussed options since we had one more shop on our list for the day. She encouraged us to give her a call if we thought we wanted to come back, and about fifteen minutes into the next appointment, we did just that. 
I am so thankful for Ivy’s expertise, welcoming spirit, and her lovely shop. I fell in love with a dress, and had such a wonderful experience becoming a Lovely Bride.

I found my dress at Lovely Bride in Philadelphia!  First, a little background... my mother was diagnosed with ALS this past year. It's been very difficult.  I wanted my mother with me when trying on gowns. A must.  So, we needed to visit bridal stores that were handicap accessible and had handicap parking nearby.  I contacted several stores in Philadelphia and South Jersey.  Ivy, the owner of Lovely Bride, promptly responded to my email.  She was wonderful.  Ivy was sincere, professional and offered excellent advice.  We scheduled a visit on a Friday morning.  I brought my mother, father, aunt and best friend.  Ivy was waiting for us, with a beautiful room ready and personally assisted us.  We had champagne (we brought it), and Ivy pulled several gorgeous gowns for me to try on. It was a lot of fun!  Ivy was so helpful. She was kind, honest and clearly, an expert in her field.  I am so grateful for everything she did for me and my family.  We had an amazing experience, and I am very excited to receive my gown in a few months.  Visit this store, and listen to the experts.  Ivy and her staff at Lovely Bride know what their doing and care about their clients.  Thank you, Ivy!

For us this was totally a waste of time.
The salesglrl was pleasant but we were directed to the dressing room  where she brought  a  very limited selection of dresses that were not in keeping with what we expressed! (For example , no strapless or spaghetti straps ) When we asked if they could be altered , unlike other shops the answer was , "No" , no straps could be added or belts etc. Compared to other shops these designer dresses were more costly and our budget was more than ample from experiences elsewhere  This despite the fact my daughter called ahead  to question the price point and availability.  .We were encouraged to look at trunk show dresses. Many of the samples (not trunk show)  had pulls in the lace and two  were actually grey  with dirt along the train and bottom edges . There was nothing there to exude ambience or make it a memorable experience either..In  fact after  arriving & being buzzed in ,another client opened the door for us . That , in addition to not being encouraged to look at the racks because the dresses are separated by designer rather than price  began the visit on a less than promising note.Because of that & the lack of dresses meeting our requirements it was a" testy " unsatisfying  shopping experience. This was not the case anywhere else. Unlike other experiences we were limited to an hour of their time No customers were waiting as we left. 
From other reviews recommendations , we were quite shocked as we had anticipated finding the  perfect , unique dress. I generally do not post reviews, but this was so remarkable in the lack of atmosphere and attitude from our other excursions.
It has a happy ending though! The perfect dress was found elsewhere and we do thank our salesgirl  at Lovely Bride for her time. Perhaps our expectations were too high  given  the reviews and experiences we had had prior to this appointnent.
