Ava's Bridal Couture

Ava’a Bridal was one of my favorite experience during my wedding planning process. Sue and Tammy are the sweetest souls and SO easy to work with. After a not great experience at a place I won’t name, I stumbled upon Avas bridal and decided to check it out. I was a little hesitant with having to place a deposit, and it going to “waste” if I didn’t say yes to the dress, however after speaking with Sue and having my appointment, she deserves that deposit for all the work she puts in on the backend to make sure your first appointment is perfect for YOU! ( I would recommend going to other stores to get an idea of what you like first, then make Avas your second shop and place to say YES to the dress… the deposit then goes towards your dress payment!!) Sue was the most welcoming and friendly… she made my entire (large) group feel so special and that their opinions mattered. Her method of you and your party being able to hand pick your dresses (after she’s already pulled some for you based on previous convos), to narrowing it down to your top 3-4, to playing “tennis” and taking plenty of pics and videos to look over and make sure your liking it from every angle….. she realllly knows what’s she’s doing! So smooth! I went into the appointment certain on one dress, found myself in love with two completely different dresses, and she gave me the idea to add a slit to my top dress to get the best of both worlds! Two days before we left the country for our wedding, I realized I did not get my dress bustled and reached out to Sue panicking. (Total mush brain thinking I was changing dresses so didn’t need it… def did for the first dances). Sue had me drop off the dress first thing the next morning, and she personally bustled my dress in between her own busy schedule and had it finished for me by the end of the day so I could fly out bright and early Saturday. She even made a VIDEO showing me and my bridesmaids exactly how to find the buttons and bustle when we were in a crunch!!! WHAT AN ANGEL! Seriously though, I could not recommend Ava’s Bridal more. The fact that you can find your dream dress and get it altered in one shop…. Such a relief!!! One of the best experiences ever and will forever and always shout my love for Ava’s Bridal from the rooftops!!

Sue has been a lifesaver! She really took the time to learn what I was looking for prior to my appointment. Unlike a lot of bridal stores in the area, Ava’s charges an appointment deposit. Let me tell you- it’s more than worth it! The amount of time Sue and her team put into each bride before you even step into the store shows. I'd been to other bridal salons, but the level of service at Ava’s can't be beat. They make you feel like THE bride instead of just a bride. If you’re looking for a one of a kind personalized service, Ava’s is the place for you!

The process was so easy and at a fair cost! I found Ava's after I already purchased my wedding dress and I was researching about alterations. I had a lot of beadwork on the top half of my dress and was nervous about selecting a good seamstress who wouldn't mess it up. I started watching the educational information Ava's provides on Youtube and I knew they were the right fit. The whole process was so easy. I was able to get an appointment and work with Tammy on the alterations. I did basic alterations: took in the top, adjusted strap length, hemmed, and added an over bustle. Everything came out perfect the first time! I would recommend this shop for anyone looking for good alterations at a fair price.

Ava’s Bridal is exactly what you’re looking for!! To any bride that may be nervous, not know exactly what they want, needs support( or Sue, the absolute BEST HYPE MAN!), Ava’s Bridal truly offers a one of a kind experience. From the very beginning to the last alterations appointment I was treated like a QUEEN. Sue and Tammy are by far the most professional and knowledgeable wedding dress boutique that I have experienced. And before Ava’s, I had seen a few… or 5. There were many times I thought to myself, WOW do they do this for everyone, or is it just me?? Either way, I was impressed and felt truly supported. I had a team of ladies that listened to every detail and change I wanted.. which were many, and they never once hesitated to adjust and above all MAKE IT HAPPEN. It’s like there are no obstacles when you are working with Ava’s Bridal! Seriously! You plan on losing weight? They will tailor the dress to your body! You want the back lowered? No problem! You want a slit? A higher slit? Say no more!! Ava’s Bridal is without a doubt the only wedding dress boutique you need to consider. If you are looking to feel pampered, catered to, and want a truly one of a kind experience, then schedule a visit with Sue at Ava’s Bridal!! ❤️❤️❤️

ATTENTION CURVY BRIDES! I am a 5’2 curvy bride and heavy up top. My biggest fear was not being able to find a dress that 100% complimented my body type. I booked 5 wedding boutique appointments with Ava’s being my 6th and last one. The difference was…not only was I consulting with a bridal specialist (like all of them are that you book your appointment with) but I was talking to a seamstress at the same time. I couldn’t talk to a seamstress at all my other appointments, they couldn’t tell me how the top would look with me having a large bust after alterations, paint the picture and talk it out with me confidently letting me know how good I’m gonna feel and look on my wedding day etc. I found some amazing, gorgeous dresses off the rack, I almost said yes to a dress that would’ve had to be ordered from Australia…but it would of been such a gamble ordering a dress not knowing, having a conversation or even meeting face to face with my alterations lady 1st. If you’re a curvy bride and heavy up top like myself…can you image taking a gamble on a dress, investing so much money not knowing who’s going to have 100% control of your dress and ultimately telling you what they can and cannot do…but you have to follow through because you already committed to the dress? Peace of mind is 100% the reason why I chose Ava’s. If you’re still reading and made it this far in my review…invest in yourself. We as curvy women find ourselves spending more money than normal just to feel confident, sexy and comfortable in normal day clothes…Ava’s is 100% going to be the place to find your bridal gown!

Ava’s Bridal is the place to go if you want an amazing Bridal experience! They are accommodating and made everyone in my party happy and comfortable. The alterations process was smooth as well! Tammy and Sue are the best!! I high recommend this establishment to everyone, especially plus size brides! There selection of dresses was amazing!

I always imagined when I went to find my dress it would be like the romantic movies. All your favorite people around you, trying on couture gowns , eating snacks and drinking champagne. We DID exactly THAT!! I posted on Dfw vendors wedding page looking for the magical experience for dress shopping & several people commented to try Ava’s along with her competitors in town. Sue the owner is the nicest most compassionate bridal consultant I’ve ever dealt with. From the moment I decided to find my dress she asked all about me. She started making the wedding all about ME ! Now for me that’s exactly what I WANTED. Grade A customer service. She exceeded my expectations. Once I purchased the dress she allowed payment plan options. She even helped me get a custom veil made. Let me finance that as well. It can seem a bit overwhelming at first with all the fees. But truthfully I wouldn’t have gotten my dream dress without her business model. She understands the budgets of brides. Ms. Tammy in alterations is beyond amazing. I wasn’t able to afford alterations in my budget until last minute. I called Sue begging to help me. I didn’t need much other than straps and an American bustle. Tammy was able to meet me at her house after hours measure me , size me and offered next day service. I was so shocked. I came back less than 3weeks later to pick it up before the wedding and it was perfect. My overall experience was A MILLIONS STARS ⭐️! These ladies were born to be in the Bridal Business. Cheers to you wonderful ladies from MRS. PLYMELL! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I am so happy with my decision to work with Sue at Ava's Bridal! I found her after scheduling a couple other appointments and I lost my deposits with them but it was worth it! Sue is the absolute best at what she does & my experience at Ava's couldn't have been any better. Sue's customer service from the very beginning was the best I have ever seen. She was very informative during the whole process and helped me design my dress exactly the way I envisioned it!! It was so beautiful & I received so many compliments. If you are looking for a wedding dress or alterations Ava's Bridal is THE place to go!! I would recommend this place to everyone.

I was very nervous to shop for a wedding dress because I am SO indecisive. Everyone here was amazing right from the beginning, only pulling dresses they knew I would like or would work best for me. I could not have found my dream dress without them! They made sure I felt completely comfortable in my dress, and they did incredible work on my alterations. These ladies are the absolute best, and made my experience so wonderful!!

Wow! Tammy did such an amazing job altering BOTH of my dresses (ceremony & reception). She was very quick, and both of my dresses fit me like a glove on the day of my wedding! My wedding dress had a lot of very intricate detail work and lace overlays. I was a little worried how that would look altered, but Tammy did such an incredible job transferring those overlays to the new altered look! It was truly an artful job. My reception dress had a lot of detail as well, and Tammy did such an amazing job on this dress too. Not only did Tammy do such an amazing job on my alterations, but Sue and her whole team are just the sweetest and most helpful group you could ask for. They have an amazing gown selection, and even if you already have your wedding dress I would absolutely recommend coming to Ava’s for your alterations. : )

I wish I could put into words what the ladies at Ava's Bridal mean to me. From the very beginning, they made finding my dress so easy. I did all alterations at Ava's and they made all of my requests a reality. Even when I had a dress disaster just before my wedding, they worked a miracle and made sure I knew everything was going to be ok. They are amazing people who take pride in their work and really do care about every bride.

I was VERY skeptical of finding anything at first given my body type. I already hate to shop for clothes, so I was putting off dress shopping as much as I could. Sue and Jamaie were awesome to me from the beginning to end. I was able to speak my mind, and not feel shy for asking/commenting on certain things. Jamaie really hit it with the styles she pulled for me leading up to THE ONE. She was super nice, fun and kind to myself and my guests. My guests opinions were super important to me, and she let us talk it out with every dress. If you're tired of dress shopping or hate it like I do, they make it fun and easy. I would not have believed it if I didn't do it to myself. Gracias Sue y Jamaie por todo!!

We had the best experience with Ava's. I found my dress, we had cupcakes and champagne, and they were so diligent to follow up and make sure I loved my dress and the alterations. After my bridal portraits, I decided to alter my dress again...the day before my wedding. They were so amazing to fit me in that morning and have the dress ready 2 hours later. Crazy! Can't say enough good things about my experience.

Sue and her team at Ava’s Bridal were an incredible help in my search for THE PERFECT wedding dress. Sue and her team were super attentive at the initial dress fitting and throughout the entire bridal process. If you are looking for experts in the bridal dress industry, Ava’s is the place for you! Superb customer experience is what you will receive.

I bought my dress at Ava's and would highly recommend them! They stayed within my budget, made me and my bridal party feel comfortable and relaxed, and clearly communicated what my appointment would be like ahead of time. They even called before my appointment to get to know me more so they could be as helpful as possible before my appointment. I did not use them for alterations.

I cannot say enough about the Ava's Bridal staff. I did not purchase my dress with Ava's and I was skeptical that my bridal shop could do the alteration work i wanted. I found Ava's on social media and was sooo impressed with the amount of knowledge Sue was providing for brides to be. After watching youtube videos and reading articles on the website, I knew this was where I wanted to bring my gown!! I drove over an hour to my fitting appointments to meet with Tammy! Tammy is AMAZING. She altered my straps, hemmed and bustled my dress and its beautiful! It only took her a few weeks and Im sad I wont be able to visit the Ava's team again! Any brides to be nervous about dress altering PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out to Sue or Ava's on social media. You will be soooooo happy you left your dress in good hands!

I didn't buy my dress here, but I, on a whim, contacted Sue to see if they had/could make a custom cape for my wedding. She was IMMEDIATELY on it. Sue was very attentive to what I was looking for and offered many recommendations. I ended up also doing my alterations at their salon. Tammy was very professional and very good at what she does! Everyone was so friendly and willing to help, I felt welcomed every time I walked in. I HIGHLY recommend their services!

The girls at Ava's Bridal are AMAZING to work with! I wish I could just hangout with them because they are so sweet and fun to be around! They literally think of everything when it comes to preparing for your wedding day, even beyond the dress. The in-house alterations experience was great, and Tammy made sure to accommodate my short timeline to get everything perfect and ready to go! Sue will make you feel so cherished and always makes sure to check in via text to see if there is anything you need. If you are in the Fort Worth area, definitely get your dress at Ava's!

Ava's was super helpful; they let me stay long past my appointment was over to try to find the tag for my dress since it was discontinued. They worked with me every step of the way to make sure I had what I needed!

I traveled from New Mexico to find my dress. My now husband's family scheduled the appointment. The initial location throws you off, but once inside, the shop is welcoming, beautifully decorated and well organized. I had the best experience, found my dress and also had the most memorable time when I returned back to Texas to pick up my dress. I couldn't have picked a better dress, veil and headpiece. I received so many compliments and felt so beautiful!

Got my dress here! All staff was helpful and nice. Great price too.:)

The ladies are incredibly helpful and dedicated to making your experience wonderful! They truly listen to what you want and do everything in your power to help you find your dream dress! They have an amazing selection of dresses for every budget and their in-house alterations department does a stellar job!

Sue is the sweetest person to work with, as is the entire Ava’s staff! For background, I’m a very particular, very OCD person and have trouble letting go and trusting people. I also customized my dress. Sue and Tammy were so patient and helped my vision come true! I honestly cannot day enough good things about the ladies here. Also, the selection of dresses and veils they have is absolutely amazing. If you’re in dfw, you have to check this place out!

My mom and I went down thirty minutes before they closed because we saw a dress on Instagram. They were so kind to us and let us look around even though the dress was already packed up for a bridal show. My mom pulled one out of a rack randomly and it was the one. They scheduled us for an appointment the next weekend so I could think on it and went out of their way to make the day so special. Every time I’ve walked into Ava’s they’ve made me feel like a princess.

from start to finish I had a fantastic experience. not only did I immediately find my dream dress here, everyone was so welcoming and helpful. the in house alterations came out PERFECT-and I had a lot done to my dress. I would recommend avas to all brides!

WOW I have to say that the staff, were super friendly, helpful and went over the top to answer any questions we had about the whole process. Everyone was very pleased with the store and prices.

Ava’s bridal was so amazing to work with!!! They made the experience so memorable!

Run the other way.. I had a great experience finding my dress, Leslie helped so much and was so friendly considering I didn't have an appointment, I found the color I wanted my bridesmaids to wear that day as well. A few weeks later we all met up to pick the maids dresses out(WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT) they had the dress I wanted for everyone on file... fall wedding.. they pulled out a aqua ruffle UGLY dress and I knew it wasn't going to turn out good. Obviously a fall wedding would not be baby blue, or aqua. Once we found the right dress I picked out we were told we could pick any dress out and they could match the color I wanted an hour later we were told that was not true after everyone had tried on the dresses( We didn't get much help) the manager noticed I was looking through the dresses and came up to me and said my time was up I would have to come another time.. UM no I had an appointment they started us late, had the wrong dress, then told us the color wouldn't match after they sat there and watch us get the dresses and try them on. She calls the owner and gets her on the phone and rudely tells me there are people waiting in the front for our spot but not to worry about anyone but ourselves, which I didn't. The owner showed up talked to us told me she would give me a few discounts and the maids would get a discount. Well after thinking of how we were treated we asked for a refund for the two maids that had already bought their dresses since I wanted to go somewhere else. Never got my discounts. They made them sign some bs documents agreeing they would not leave a review or they could sue(THIS GIRL ISN'T ABOUT THAT LIFE), because that's how bad it got. That's just one thing... My dress(I'm the bride as you can tell) was finally ready for the first fitting(Yes I went ahead and bought my dress there because I was a done deal before they got stupid crazy)... big which we knew it was going to be and knew we were going to spend a ton on alterations. Sue the owner promised we would be dealing with her and no one else also that she would be the one to alter my dress. LIES! All BS Lies. The dress was ripped at the bottom, I went in there 3 times for fittings not once did I see her and the last day I was supposed to meet her there she didn't even show up, the manager ended up facetiming her so she could talk to us and tell us how she was running late and blah blah and told us we could wait for her but we were already done by then no point in waiting an hour more just to deal with more crap. The 1st fitting I noticed the dress was ripped at the bottle(This isn't freaking goodwill it was shipped from the designer... as I was told HA) then the 2nd fitting it was still ripped and we were rushing due to my bridals, during my bridal pictures my mom found 10+ pins in the dress, noticed the dress was cut at an angle..It was horrible but we didn't let that stop us from having a good time. This place has cute dresses but it's not worth the stress and bs attitudes they give. They knew this day would come to where I could leave a review and it just made my day 10x better. Sad my friends can't leave one but look at all reviews, it's not just me that had to deal with the bs. :) Thanks Sue for helping! HAHA!

I also found my wedding gown during their most recent sample sale and they maybe knocked a couple of hundred dollars off whenever their website said 50 to 80% off so I was kind of confused and left empty-handed :(

I was really excited for Ava's Sample Sale and I was especially excited because it was my first time to try on wedding dresses! We had an appt at 2:30 and waited about 15 minutes for the consultant to finish up her other appointment. No big deal. So when she was done she gave us a walkthrough of the store and how it was organized for the sale. It seemed like she was not very well informed about what the different colored ribbons meant (black, blue, white, etc.) When asked if a dress was a "black-ribbon dress" she wasn't sure what we meant even though it was posted all over the store. My whole group was able to pick out dresses for me which was fun! While looking for dresses, we saw some had rips and were dirty at the bottom. I'm new to this whole wedding dress shopping thing, but I did not want to buy something for $900 that looked like it was already worn and torn. There was also a huge cricket inside the tulle of one of the dresses............ Despite this, I tried on a few dresses I liked and found one I fell in love with. It was pretty much everything I was looking for. We tried on more dresses after that and I still liked the same one. When asking about prices for dresses, it was a little wishy-washy because it was a sample sale which I understand. When we scheduled the appt online, I gave them my budget and was given dresses well over my budget. Then, after a little bit, I tried on the dress I loved again and she told me she could put me in it again and go get her manager to see if she could get it for a lower price. We said that was fine and she knocked about $100 off, which was still out of the budget. So while debating about rearranging the budget, we decided to not go with that dress because we can get a similar style somewhere else. I was also curious about what other dresses were out there since there was such a limited number of dresses available for the Sample Sale and this was my first ever appointment. After some stress tears from myself and my family trying to rationalize the whole situation for me, we decided to not decide on a dress that day and leave. When we left, the consultant was at the front and I told her what we decided and she replied with "well tomorrow that dress will be $1700" even though this was just the first day of the Sample Sale. The way she said it was rude and it felt like she was mad we did not find a dress that day. Her comment is what made me realize I did not want to give this store my business anyway. I was not pleased with Ava's and the way the Sample Sale went. I was also disappointed how my first experience with wedding dress shopping went and I can't get that back.

I am very pleased with the service I received at Ava’s. Essie helped me find the perfect dress for my wedding!! She was so kind and gave me so many tips for my big day. She created an experience I will never forget. I recommend asking for Essie when looking for a dress!! Also, everyone was very helpful and nice at the appointment. Everyone made me feel beautiful!

I absolutely loved the dress I ended up choosing. I felt very taken care of at my first appointment and had no worries. At my first fitting, the alterations lady pinned my dress without telling me what she was doing. I trusted that everything would be fine (since she was the professional). When I went for my second fitting (only three weeks later), my dress fit drastically different. They fixed it within an hour, but the communication between the head seamstress and the others is not the best. Make sure you have Sue pin your dress (She is the head of alterations and an owner). If she isn’t available, make an appointment for another time.

Ava’s has a huge selection of beautiful dresses. When I went there to try on dresses it was a wonderful experience and I feel in love with my dress! Once the dress arrived I was not contacted right away, I had to call and see when my dress would arrive and low and behold it was already there for a week. Then I went on for my first fitting and felt neglected. The seamstress was in and out really quick and did not explain my options for my bussel (which I found out later there are many ways I could have had it done.). I totally get the shop is busy but when someone has an appointment for such a huge part of the wedding day it would be nice to have the attention you need. The cups I had inserted in my dress were also on the outside of the chest area and did not look clean. I absolutely loved my dress and wish I could wear it weekly but the hustle and bustle of the shop made the customer service a little lacking.

I am SO happy I found my dream dress at Ava's Bridal Couture!! Everyone was SO helpful, fun and were there to make you happy 100% of the time. I have nothing but great things to say about the dresses and ladies here and I could not recommend Ava's more.

Wonderful prices and a unique selection.

This was the first salon I visited and I'm so glad! The staff was patient, professional, and so helpful! They carry so many gorgeous dresses and many very affordable and beautiful gowns as well. Michelle helped me find the most beautiful dress for my wedding and I am excited! :)

I don’t know where to begin! I put off dress shopping for so long, and had I known that it was going to be as fun as Ava’s made it, I would have gone a long time ago!! They listened to everything I wanted in a dress, every concern I had, and they made it so easy! I said yes within the first hour of being at the salon! I would highly recommend them to anyone!!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the women at Ava’s. They helped me pick my dream dress when I had no idea what I even wanted. They worked with me through my insecurities and were so wonderful and positive during my whole dress experience from try on to me walking down the aisle to my husband. Essie was absolute dream at my first appointment, with all of her years of experience under her belt she came through and helped with all my indecisiveness! And Sue was amazing to work with at all my fittings, she encouraged me with my weight loss and praised me when I finally met my goal. My mom and I just love them!!

I was 100% confident that I would find my dress here! I have been coming to Ava’s and Classy Concepts to get banquet dresses for a very long time and it finally came time to get the most important dress yet! They not only helped me pick out the right dress for my body but they are all so personable too! Thank you all so much!!

All the ladies on staff at Ava's made finding my wedding dress a wonderful experience. Between my two appointments I never felt neglected, even when on the Saturday that I finally picked my dress was super busy.

Ava’s Bridal is a Fort Worth hidden treasure. Upon walking in for my appointment, I instantly fell in love with the decor. The bridal assistants were all so sweet and welcoming. Jamaie seriously took in what I wanted in a dress and helped me find it. I know it’s not everyday that someone picks out the perfect wedding dress and it just happens to be the first one you try on, but in my case this is exactly what happened! She and Sue gave me schedule the most wonderful VIP appointment/ dress reveal for my bridal party afterwards. I am so greatful for everything they did to help me with my special day and can’t thank them enough.

Bought my dress for my MOH duties! Loved the experience at Ava’s! Will definitely return for all my formal wear!

I had heard of Ava's because my best friend used Classy Concepts for her dress. They were the last place I had an appointment for a day that was filled with appointments. I still wasn't sure what I wanted but felt like I would get more of an idea at this salon. I absolutely LOVED my consultant , I forgot her name :( but she was so calm and sweet which is just what I needed with all my family there. They knew that I only had two months before my wedding date so they were conscious of what I could pick out that would get in in time. If there was ever any crisis or worry they handled it so calmly. I definitely spent more than I had planned but it was so worth it when I found the perfect dress! I wanted to feel pretty and comfortable and I did! Would definitely recommend them, just don't go in with a budget under $500. Unless it's a sale, they had some good sale items!

We initially purchased seven matching bridesmaid dresses from Alfred Angelo, but after their bankruptcy, we were left without two of the dresses. Thank goodness for Sue at Ava's Bridal! We reached out to her after being referred to her by several people in a local bridal networking group, and she worked her magic to help us find two almost matching dresses with only three weeks to spare until the big day. This was a super stressful situation, and she totally lifted a lot of weight off of our shoulders with her diligence and kind reassurance that we would work it all out. :) I highly recommend her!

My daughter had two dress appointments scheduled for the same day. We started out with Ava's Bridal. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They anticipated our every need and listened carefully to every desire. Also, what a great selection of dresses and wedding accessories from which to choose! There were plenty of brides-to-be shopping that day, but the level of service and attention my daughter and I received made us feel like we were the only clients in the place. Needless to say, she found her dream dress at Ava's and we cancelled the second appointment. What a great experience!

I cannot sing enough praises about Ava's Bridal! They were all so incredible and made finding my dress such an enjoyable experience. Jamaie was my appointment coordinator and did an amazing job of pulling dresses that fit my vision. Sue's seamstress skills are insane. She tailored my dress perfectly and made sure I was 100% pleased with the end result; it fit like a GLOVE. She even broke out the tissues and sat with my mom while she cried mother-of-the-bride happy tears during our appointment. Overall, the staff couldn't have been better. They went above and beyond helping me find the perfect gown. I would recommend Ava's to any bride!

I LOVED my experience at Ava's Bridal. I recently went dress shopping, and Ava's was by far the most fun. When I was there, I felt truly valued. I did not feel rushed at all. My requests, opinions, concerns, etc. were listened to and respected. Jamaie was my consultant, and she was amazing! She was professional and so fun! I also want to add that they have dresses that fit a wide span of budgets. Most of their dresses are organized by price, so it's very very easy to stay within your budget. And there is ZERO pressure to spend more money or go above your budget. That was what truly set this bridal shop apart from others. I HIGHLY recommend at least adding Ava's to your list of places to go dress shopping. I am adding to this review at a later time after my wedding: Initially when I bought my dress, they told me it would take 3-7 months to come in (My wedding was in 6 months at the time). I panicked slightly and they quickly told me that no matter what they would have the dress ready in time for my wedding. The dress came in about 4 months and they altered it in less than 1 month. I also want to speak on the alterations process. It was a little frustrating because Ava's bridal only does alterations 1 day a week. They have a sister store called Classy Concepts in Mansfield that does alterations most days. So I ended up having to take my dress to their sister store to do alterations. While their alterations work was quality, it was very expensive. I felt it was overpriced, considering I did not have to have the bodice taken in AT ALL. I only had to have it hemmed, the straps taken up, and cups added. For this they initially quoted me over $500. I asked them if they would discount it, since I had bought the dress through their sister store. And they did- they knocked over $100 off the price. I'm so glad I asked! As much as it was though, the dress did fit perfectly after only one fitting! Despite the expense of alterations and they fact that they initially over-quoted me, I am still giving 5 stars because the process was smooth, my dress was perfect, and I did not have to worry about my dress being in good hands.

The most absolute AMAZING bridal boutique HANDS DOWN...after visiting 3, I am absolutely blown away by the selfless service they provide for all things: bridal gown, bridesmaid dresses and veils AND making it work with your wedding date! I fully trust their timing and service in making everything coordinate with the timeframe I need things by. Janae, Sue and Megan were OUTSTANDING! Extremely personable, and the sweetest. Highly highly recommend putting all your wedding needs in their hands as they make it as easy going and stress-free as it could be.

So many wonderful things to say about this place. Ava's genuinely cares about their brides and their experience. They want you to look beautiful and do whatever they can to lessen the stress. Every person ive spoken with has perpetuated this. Theyve worked with me every step of the way. I set up a last minute appointment during a black friday sale last november and they graciously fit me in. My consultant was so sweet and encouraging and i never felt rushed. She was very concious of my budget. My mother was not and i ended up in a dress that i immediately fell in love with and went way over my price range. Even then, since i was about a year out from my wedding she helped me with a payment plan that i felt comfortable with. The tailor has been incredibly kind, helpful and mindful of my budget as well. Really listening to my concerns and suggestions about the fit and giving me educated advice. I love this place! I recommend it every time a friend gets engaged!

The BEST Bridal Salon hands down. Kelly and Sue made my dress selection experience amazing. They went above and beyond to make my dress gorgeous by helping me with a semi custom design for my gorgeous dress that we found right on the rack. I live in Louisiana and traveled many miles for dress shopping in DFW. Choosing Ava's was one of the highlights of my wedding experience. The selection is fantastic and they will find you the perfect dress (even hard to fit sizes aren't an issue) Excellent is all I can say! Wish I could do it all over again just to experience working with them again!! LOVE Ava's!

I couldn't have imagined a better bridal experience! This was my second appointment of the day and the previous place didn't let me look at all gowns and only pulled what they thought I wanted. I left there disappointed and headed to Ava's. What a 180 difference! I was able to look at every gown and the consultant helped me find some that were similar to what I was looking for. She ended up finding the one for me and things just got better after that! They allowed my mom and MIL to have a great experience as well. So many places treat your guests rudely so we were happy with that. When my dress came in, Sue worked with me in getting the dress to fit perfectly and she was such a delight! It was so nice having my alterations done in store with someone who was familiar with the dress and designer! By far, the best part of the entire wedding process was my experience at Ava's!

Ava's is absolutely wonderful!! Jamaie was my consultant and she has the best customer service, listens to your wants in a dress, and makes you feel very comfortable! Ava's has a wide variety of dress styles, with a large selection of lace wedding dresses, which is what I was looking for. I said Yes To my dress at Ava's and am so glad I did! They have excellent follow up and are more than happy to help you in every way! Their new store location is so adorable, which has lots of room and private rooms for each bride and her guests. Not only all this, but when I called to schedule my first appointment I told Jamaie I would have my 2 year old daughter with me and she was so accepting and kind about the fact, where other Bridal salons wouldn't allow it. On my first appointment they were all so kind and accepting of my 2 year old :) thank you for your excellent customer service, Jamaie!

I live in Keller, so for me to have to drive from Keller to Fort Worth is a big deal. My initial reaction to the Ava’s Bridal staff was that I could trust their opinions and expertise. I tried on one bridesmaid dress and placed an order the same day. TWO staff members measured my waist, bust, hips, and torso. They then preceded to pull out a chart and told me that I should order a size 14 dress. I am 5’2, with a ‘B’ size cup, and I usually wear a size 6. So when the sales representatives told me that I needed a 14 I TRUSTED that they knew what they were talking about. I assumed that the dress ran small and I NEEDED a dress that was bigger than my usual size. So I placed an order for a size 14. I went to the store today and let the staff know that I would like to try on my dress, for the first time, before leaving the store. They brought me the dress and immediately I noticed it was HUGE. I could’ve fit a whole other person in this dress with me. The representative walked up to me and acted as if everything was fine with the dress and it’s look on my body. She then took in a handful of the dress in the back and said it would also need to be hemmed. I then asked her how much it would cost to have these alterations completed and how long would it take? She said “one week if you pay an express charge of $45 (and that she) wasn’t a seamstress so (she) wouldn't be able to tell (me) how much it would cost for these alterations.” I took me dress and left. I called back later that day and asked for the manager, I was forwarded to Sue. I explained how frustrated I was. I told her that I was going to have to spend more money getting my dress tailored because her staff members told me I needed a dress that was too big for my body. She told me that “the store isn’t liable for the dress that I ordered.” I then told her that I wouldn’t have ordered a size 14 if her employees hadn’t told me I needed one. She said that I should’ve “resolved all my concerns before ordering the dress.” I responded with “I didn’t have any concerns when ordering the dress because I trusted that your staff members would’ve made the right call.” She asked me “ what are you trying to get?” I told her I wanted compensation for the tailoring. She said “that’s not going to happen.” She went on to say she would “help” me with the express charge if I signed a waiver stating that I wouldn’t give them “any bad press.” I told her I would think about it. I have come to the conclusion that Ava’s Bridal staff members need to be better trained in how to measure a body for a specific dress. They also should take ownership for mistakes they make. I am not an expert on bridesmaids dresses and I shouldn't have to bring my own seamstress to make sure I get the right size dress. She then said that in her notes it said that I had “had a baby.” I told her that I am still the same size that I was when they originally measured me. Honestly, I was a little offended that she was trying to find a way to blame the incorrect order on me. I spoke to a seamstress who said she would've never ordered me this size and I should've had a size 6 or 8 ordered for me. ALL of the charts I looked up after the fact, based on my measurements, indicated that I definitely shouldn't have gotten a 14. I hope that after the manager sees this post she realizes it might have just been worth it to compensate me fully and apologize for their mistake.

I purchased my dream dress (a limited edition Sottero & Midgley) from Ava's and had a very nice purchasing experience. I even went back to purchase my bridesmaid dresses from them. I will say that the first issue happened here. I paid a deposit to have a certain bridesmaid dress style put on hold because the store was in the middle of transferring their bridesmaid inventory to their other location and the representative said the only way for the dress to stay in the store was for me to put a deposit on the sample. Ridiculous, but I paid the deposit. It was not until I came into the store with one of my bridesmaids to try on the dress that they informed me the dress had been discontinued. A phone call with that information prior to my appointment would have been nice. However, we found another nice bridesmaid dress (almost twice as expensive). Next, my veil arrived with a blusher. I can guarantee you that I did not order a veil with a blusher. I didn't even try one one. I searched through my contract for supporting documentation, but all that was written was an item number. When I asked for the store to reorder the veil, they happily obliged. When my "new veil" arrived, I went back to pick it up and the blusher had clearly and obviously been cut from the veil. They did not order a new veil at all. I asked again for a new veil and the second time, they did order a new one for me (or did a better job cutting it off). My final issue rests here: I didn't get to wear my dream dress because my wedding was cancelled. Please understand that I am not writing this review out of anger from a woman scorned; I truly feel that I could have been treated better. The salespeople were very insensitive when I asked about my contract and if anything could be done to return or resell the dress. They were unwilling to help and my messages and requests went unanswered. I won't bore you with the details, but there was more than one thing that rubbed me the wrong way about the exchanges I had with multiple sales representatives through this process. My dress budget was $3,000 and bridesmaid dresses totaled just under that amount. I truly hope this review reaches the store management because I think this should be an area in which staff could be better trained. Trained to be sensitive, understanding and empathetic to a customer's situation, even if the store cannot do anything for them. For a customer that spent quite a bit of money at the store, I wish I had been treated better at the end. After all, I will now be shopping for a second wedding dress one day. I would think that not too many brides are repeat customers and when a store has the opportunity to get a bride's business a second time, they should do their best to retain that customer.

Great experience! Went in just to start the looking process and walked out with the perfect gown! Terron was so sweet and helpful!
