The selection process was simple and easy to schedule, and Kylene did a fantastic job with my alterations, including a fantastic little memorial piece for my bouquet.
We went for their annual wedding sale and even with the appointment only being and hour long for the event we had an absolutely wonderful time! Our consultant looked at my top 3 dresses and then found the perfect marriage between them . My dress is now safely tucked away until the big day!
Amber was AMAZING! Catered for what we had seen before and what we had pictured and made dreams come true. Wonderful experience!
Amanda was the perfect stylist for me. She was kind and understanding of me being a new mom with a new mom body that I am very uncomfortable in. She helped me find the perfect dress for my wedding. I honestly didn’t think I would find a dress I felt pretty in and not look like a sack of potatoes, but it happened and I am so glad it did. I was not looking forward to trying more dresses at other bridal shops that’s for sure. Thank you Amanda for being so wonderful!
Dalanie was awesome!! She made the first time trying on dresses so easy which meant a lot to me because I had thought about it for so long. Thank you Dalanie!
I cannot believe how seamless finding my wedding dress was 🥲 From online booking to walking out the door the happiest woman on Earth. Amy T was my stylist and she instantly clicked with not only me, but my family also. She was extremely personable, professional and polite. It felt like we knew her forever. I recommend this Boutique not only for your Wedding dress but highly recommend asking Amy to style you. If I wasn’t busting at the seams on my guest list I would have invited her to my wedding! Thank you for making us feel SO at home and even more so like family, Amy! Grateful to be a Grayce Bride! 💐
We highly enjoyed the entire experience of wedding dress shopping here! The atmosphere was cozy and elegant with friendly and attentive staff. We worked with Kylene who truly listened to my vision and made suggestions based on my ongoing feedback. It felt like a truly personalized experience. She was very accommodating and explained any questions we had thoroughly. They offer great packages and other perks for being a Grayce bride that really top of the experience as well.
I went in thinking I just wanted a simple dress, nothing fancy since I am older. The ladies taught me that it's my day and I should wear whatever I feel good in. I found the most amazing dress which I never would have tried on without their expertise and persuasion.
I cannot say enough for Brooke, Kylene and Kylie. They made the experience a happy and memorable experience I will always cherish. I am extremely grateful.
Thank you Grayce Bridal and Foramal.
Amy was the absolute sweetest and so good at her job! I really thought there was NO way I’d find my dress in one try - she proved me wrong. Overall a 10/10 experience.
Kylene was so helpful and sweet! I went in clueless of what I wanted and she took her time and I found the dress I fell in love with as soon as I put it on! Highly recommend her and Blush Bridal!
I had an amazing day wedding dress shopping at Blush Bridal in Bangor. We worked with Maddie, who was nothing less than the best. She really took the time to listen to me, help me explore, and narrow the options down to the perfect dress. I cannot reccomend her and this location enough!!
I had an amazing experience at Blush. I was a little nervous. I have never tried wedding dresses on before. My bridal consultant Kylene made me feel comfortable and was super helpful. Kylene was very keyed in to what I likes. She made me feel beautiful. I highly recommend Blush. The shop is gorgeous. My crew felt very taken care of.
After my wedding was postponed due to Covid, my original dress that I’d picked out a year ago no longer fit and I needed a new one for my wedding this July. I was feeling a little embarrassed for having to get a new dress, but the ladies at Blush never made me feel bad and encouraged me to find the perfect dress at my appointment. I worked with Maddie and she, along with the other consultants, were so positive, helpful, and made me feel beautiful in every dress I tried on. They made me feel very comfortable and ensured I was finding the right dress, and not just settling because my wedding date was so close. I highly recommend Blush Bridal!!!
I shopped here today thinking I was too picky to find “the one,” and my stylist helped me find my perfect dress. Highly highly recommend!
I had an excellent time at blush bridal. I was in town to visit my grandmother after a year apart and finally receiving the vaccine. I really wanted to have my grandmother involved in seeing some dresses but truly thought I would not be ready to buy until I returned home and saw some dresses in NYC. I worked with Brooke and she knew what I wanted before I did. She ended up showing me a gown I might have never considered myself and it was THE gown. I was honestly so surprised, I envisioned going to multiple stores and ending up with completely different style gown. No gown regret here, revisiting my Pinterest page after visiting Blush, I am confident that my gown beats every other gown I considered previously . Everyone I interacted with at Blush was great. The experience itself is worth the visit, finding the perfect gown puts it over the top.
I went to the Portland location with my mom and MOH. We worked with Olivia and I had such a great experience! I had seen a dress by a specific designer I had to try on and they were able to special order it for me... When I arrived she asked me to pick out 5 dresses in the showroom as a starting point. She was able to decipher exactly what I liked and didn’t like in a gown. I tried on about 6-7 dresses including the special ordered one before finding *the one*. Olivia was so sweet and respectful during all the oohing and ahhing and suggested trying a veil and bouquet etc. Most importantly, I didn’t feel pushed or pressured to say yes to the dress or even to purchase at that moment. She had such a calm and professional demeanor and it added an extra touch for the whole experience. Thank you Blush!!
My first experience at Blush was absolutely lovely! It was my first time ever trying on bridal gowns, so it was a little overwhelming at first. However, Amy was very supportive and helped me gather an idea of what styles of dresses I might like. She made me feel heard and absolutely beautiful! I will be returning to purchase my wedding dress from Blush, and highly recommend them for a magical bridal experience.
10/10 would recommend Blush Bridal & Formal. Everything about my experience today was better than I could have hoped for myself and those that joined me. I worked with Meredith and she took my general ideas and helped me find THE gown in no time (2nd I tried). I felt 100% sure I had tried anything I might have thought I wanted before making the definite decision. Meredith, you are amazing, I can't thank you enough for sharing your kindness, talent and skill with us today!
My stylists name was Olivia and she was AMAZING she helped me with everything and her opinions were spot on and she helped me pick my dream dress! She made me feel super comfortable during the appointment and she was externally professional I highly reccomend requesting her as a stylist! The store was very professional and beautiful, gorgeous suites to try the dresses in and model for friends and family and they’ll pop bubbly with you at the end! LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM
Blush bridal has been so accommodating for every need I’ve had. I had a really hard time only having 4 people attend my bridal appointment. When I called and explained my situation they were more than happy to offer another type of appointment and open early to accommodate everyone for me. Olivia was the BEST stylist! She sat down with myself and family to get to know everyone, was amazing with names, and tailored everything. Olivia totally made the experience. I only tried on 5 dresses and had mine by dress 4. I went in with a very open mind and Olivia still managed to blow my expectations out of the water.
I am so excited to bring my bridesmaids to find their dresses! I will be recommending blush to everyone!
If you’re a bride like me and aren’t sure what shape or style you have in mind for your big day, I hope you request Olivia when making your appointment with Blush. She was so warm and endearing, easy to talk to and gave me confidence in everything I tried on. It took 4 dresses to find the one, and Olivia made sure I didn’t feel pressured to choose that same day. I ended up leaving with my dream dress ordered and would recommend the Blush experience to any bride. A champagne toast and photos at the end to celebrate were the icing on the cake of a really special day for me and my family.
I have been trying to pull off the impossible- my dream wedding in 5 months. Olivia worked so hard to find my dream dress with an appropriate turn around time. We tried on 15 dresses, were very indecisive, and Olivia made many trips up and down the stairs to check dates and availability. Ultimately, we found my dream dress and it will come in on time!
I had a perfect experience at Blush today. Meredith made everything so comfortable & easy, without her I wouldn't have found the most perfect dress. She has great taste and was so, so helpful. This was my first time dress shopping, and my first stop. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you, Meredith & Blush!!
I found the perfect dress today at blush with the help of Meredith! She was so helpful during the experience, and there were so many beautiful gowns to choose from. Blush was great at accommodating the larger group I brought with me, and provided a champagne toast for all of us to celebrate once I said yes to the dress. Can’t wait to go back and get dresses for my bridesmaids!!
I had the absolute BEST experience at Blush! A day I will never forget. Even with the pandemic they took the best care of me!
I had the BEST experience at Blush! I had two appointments, my first appointment with Meredith and second with Kylie, where I found my dress! They were both amazing and had great style and taste. Kylie helped me find the most beautiful dress! Highly recommend Blush, Meredith and Kylie! Thank you for everything!!!
I had a great experience at Blush. I love the different appointment options to really customize the experience you want to have. Meredith was a great consultant, very knowledgeable and really listened to what I wanted and throughout the appointment.
Highly recommend!
I had such a fun experience wedding dress shopping at Blush. The shop is so cute and the bridal suites are perfect. I was anxious about trying on dresses but Meredith made me feel so comfortable. She explained everything about the dresses and picked styles for me to try on that even I didn’t know I’d like. She was a ton of fun and had a great personality. I was so thankful for her and can’t wait to wear my dress! Thank you so much Meredith!
When I walked in at the Bangor shop my anxiety was through the roof thinking about prices and if what I wanted would fit ME. But once I got talking to Meredith, my anxiety went away and she made sure I left with a smile! The friendliness there is unbelievable, it makes you feel so giddy and just ready for your wedding day!
I'm a plus size, curvy gal. My consultant Meredith made me feel like a million bucks. She really listened to what I knew would flatter me and my vision for my day. He's bridal experience ever!!
Blush Bridal has gone above and beyond to help me get my wedding dress ordered during the covid-19 outbreak. To do this while not being able to go into the store and try on dresses is tricky. They were able to set up a zoom conference call with me on my lunch break as I still have to work during the outbreak. Kaitlin and Allie were my consultants during the zoom call, they took pictures of what I liked and walked me around the store so I could see what they had to offer and they picked out dresses that fit my description. They even called another blush store close by to get other dresses that I liked. I was then able to pick up the dresses two days later on my lunch break again. I was able to try the dresses on that night with my maid of honor and mom with me, we even zoom called the rest of my bridal party so they could also see the dresses. I found the perfect dress for me and I can’t thank both Kaitlin and Allie enough for all the help and being so flexible with the hours I had available!
When I walked into the Bangor store I was a bundle of nerves because trying on clothes has always been a frustrating experience for me. All those feelings of apprehension evaporated when Jessica introduced herself. She was such a bright and genuine presence that she immediately put me at ease as we talked about what I was looking for in a gown. She made this whole experience feel so natural and special! It was hard to choose because all the dresses were absolutely stunning, but there was no denying that the dress I chose truly felt like it was made just for me. I really cannot gush enough about how much I loved the whole Blush experience!
I purchased my Wedding Dress from the Bangor location today and I had Emma, Emma was so great and healpful today! She truely is great at what she does!! i had so much fun today!
I went twice and each time was amazing, Kylie was so helpful this last visit and was so accommodating. She helped me in and out of every dress with a smile, the same two dresses multiple times so I could decide! She was awesome, I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Very private for your and your group! Thanks again!!!
The atmosphere at blush is so welcoming and cozy. Meredith though was really the icing on top of the cake! She was so friendly and welcoming and really made me feel comfortable and was soo patient, knowledgeable and all around just spectacular in helping me find the dress of my dreams! 110% recommend and will not forget my experience!
What can I say.....Blush was everything I wanted in a Bridal appointment. It was the one and only place I knew I wanted to go too! The whole staff made me feel warm and invited while I was there. Meredith was absolutely amazing and totally followed my vision exactly the way I wanted! She was so supportive and helpful throughout the whole process and I can’t thank her enough for helping me find the one!!
Blush was perfect! Meredith made me and my bridal party feel so comfortable. She knew what I needed without me having to say it. She was so helpful. It was the PERFECT experience. I recommend blush to every bride to be!
I could not say enough wonderful things about my experience with Blush! I was very nervous being a plus size bride & looking for the perfect gown but everyone at Blush was so kind & helpful! I went to their plus size Stella York trunk show and there were SO MANY beautiful gowns to try on! I felt like a queen on my wedding day in my Stella York gown & wish I could wear it over & over! Thank you Blush Bridal!
Blush was the first and only place I visited when shopping for my wedding dress! Meredith was very accommodating and worked with me and my family when we went back and forth on different styles! They were also very helpful and made suggestions on how to add a little extra bling to my perfect dress. Great wedding dress shopping experience!
What an experience! We have visited other dress shops in Portland and not had anywhere near the experience we’ve had at Blush. Our associate, Angela, was so receptive and involved, it was really lovely to have someone who understood what the bride-to-be was looking for. The dress selection was incredible; modern and unique, and all so gorgeous! Highly recommend for anyone looking for wedding dresses or bridesmaids dresses and accessories.
Blush was the first place I went shopping & was the only place I went. My consultant heard me and really found a dress that was amazing for me! Her name was Emma, and she was fabulous! I also had two consultants help with my bridesmaids and they were great too! Loved my experience!
I was apart of their VIP event. There service was great! Everyone was so nice and very accommodating! I bought my beautiful wedding gown and can’t wait to show it off at my wedding.
I had a great experience at Blush! Very friendly and helpful staff. There were SO many beautiful bridal dresses to pick from. Allie helped me find the perfect dress and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend Blush!!
I found my dream wedding dress yesterday. Blush in Bangor provides an extremely warm and inviting atmosphere. Kylie was my consultant and she was an absolute sweetheart. She offered her honest advice and was very helpful. When searching for dresses online, the dress I was interested in was located at the Blush in Portland. I did not have to pay to have the dress driven up to the Bangor location; it was a courtesy. I highly recommend Blush!
I had Jessica for my person! and She is amazing!! I got my wedding dress and my girls got their dress there as well! the people there are so sweet and helpful, Jessica went out of her way to make my day special for me as well!
I had a great experience shopping at Blush. I just relocated to Bangor from NC and had zero luck shopping for the perfect dress back home. Every shop I had visited had very little size variety, and I found that most of the dresses I wanted to try on would never even get over my hips. I decided to try out Blush, sort of on a whim. I went in thinking I would try on a few dresses just for fun, and then leave. However, I ended up making an appt instead. My appointment day came, and I was so surprised by how professional and official it all was. Water bottles, hair ties, bobby pins, and a robe in the dressing room. It was just me and my future mother in law on the floor, so it felt very personal and intimate. Jeff, our assistant, was AMAZING. He made me feel comfortable and confident in everything, and much to my surprise...I left that day after purchasing the perfect dress for my wedding day. We celebrated with champagne and no expense was spared. Unexpected, yet lovely experience.
I stopped into Blush twice before I made my appointment to browse and try on a few dresses. The staff were friendly and worked with me even though I did not have an appointment. I struggled to find the perfect dress and continued shopping for the next 5 months at various stores throughout Maine. None of them had any dresses that met my styles needs and I felt defeated. However, I finally made an appointment with Blush and brought my sister and mother with me to help. Previously going to Blush, I knew they had the style of dresses that no other store had and I was drawn back to Blush to find the perfect wedding dress. I had my own changing room that included everything I needed (hair ties, robe, water, mints, etc.). I also had my own private space to show my family each dress as I tried them on. Meredith was fantastic. She made me feel comfortable, assisted with putting my dress on and was so patient with me and my family. I decided on a gorgeous dress and I couldn't be more happy. We celebrated with cupcakes, cider and champagne, compliments of Blush. Thank you so much!
Myself, my Maid of Honor and my mother all went to Blush today so that I could begin my dress shopping journey. I ended up leaving having found my dress! The process from start to finish was very smooth. My stylist, Meredith, was amazing to work with. She was beyond helpful at picking out styles that matched my criteria and she made sure I was comfortable in each dress I tried on. The visit was very successful and I can't imagine working with a better team of ladies!
What a fantastic beautiful time and I said yes to the dress every bride needs to visit here. Thank you Jessica for a wonderful day...
Dress shopping at Blush was much more relaxing than I anticipated. I had Allie and she was great! We had a few things in common, including she got married at the venue we chose and she loves giraffes! Allie helped me find the perfect dress I was looking for going by what my fiancé pictured me in and what I felt was my perfect dress. I had a wide variety of styles I wanted to try and Allie helped narrow it down to a particular style. After, she brought dresses I skipped over thinking I wouldn’t like them. I told her I’d try but I doubt they’d be “the one”. Surprise to me, one that I thought I wouldn’t like that she had me try I ended up loving and it was the dress! I was so happy with my experience that we bought the dress that day, even though I was about to walk out the door for I had another dress appointment so I didn’t want to fully commit even though I knew that was the one. But after talking with the owner (who was super kind and very convincing (; ) the dress was ordered!
We also did our bridesmaid dress shopping there! I’m awful and I forgot her name, but the lady that helped out the girls was so helpful! They all had different dresses, but the same color and she helped me out with placing my 9 bridesmaids in an order so the matching dresses wouldn’t be next to each other.
Overall, Blush was such a great experience that I 110% recommend! Thanks to the Blush staff! ❤️
I had an absolute blast at Blush! I had Emma as my "guide". She was so sweet, answered all of my questions, and put me at ease. I loved that she had an open opinion about what features stood out. I found the dress of my dreams here! Thank you!!
Blush in Bangor was my first and last stop for wedding dress shopping. When I arrived early Sunday, I was a nervous wreck. I had never been wedding dress shopping before and had no idea what to expect. The night before I had stress dreams about not fitting into any of the dresses and not finding a dress that made me feel beautiful. I was stressing about nothing. Blush is amazing and made me feel comfortable and supported. Jessica, my stylist, put me at ease after I got into the first dress. She was kind and helped me navigate the sea of white, laced, beaded, and sparkling dresses. I ultimately fell in love with the last dress I tried on. I cannot wait until I can return to the store when my dress arrives so I can try on my beautiful wedding dress in such a beautiful supportive environment, a store called Blush.
Being the maid of honor they made her appointment feel very special and she found exactly what she was looking for with ease.
I got the perfect wedding dress today!! I went into Blush, nervous, and anxious, and had some what of an idea of what I wanted. Emma was AMAZING! She helped keep me calm, and relaxed! 🤗 I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, thanks so much to Emma! I left a very happy bride to be! 💕💍
I’ve been at blush in Bangor four times, between being a bridesmaid and bride myself and I absolutely love it there. The place is so beautiful and inviting, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and they have a great dress selection. I got my wedding dress more recently and Jessica was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend.
Blush was my first stop shopping for a wedding dress, although I had recently purchased prom dresses through them and had a great experience. I knew when it came to wedding dress shopping that's exactly where I wanted to go and I couldn't have asked for a better experience or dress. After trying on about 20 dresses I finally decided on one. I went in to find the type of style I liked and had no intention of walking out with my dress. But I did and I'm so happy with my choice. They make you feel absolutely amazing and make sure your comfortable the entire appointment and will do anything to help and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
My bridal consultant was Rylee, and she was an absolute joy to work with! She has a super friendly demeanor and you can tell that she genuinely cares about finding the bride she is working with her dream dress. I explained to her what I was looking for and she pulled the most beautiful wedding dress off the rack for me. Once I slipped into the dress, I immediately knew that I was going to say "YES!" to that dress! I am so grateful for my experience at Blush Bridal and cannot wait to wear my dress on my wedding day! I will definitely recommend Blush Bridal to to all of my family and friends!
I went to Blush in Bangor because it was local, and I love following their instagram. Blush was my first and only stop, I went into the day with hopes of just narrowing down what I wanted and ended up 7 dresses in finding the one! I am over the moon to not only found the most perfect dress but also with my experience at Blush, special shout out to my stylist Jessica who was such a delight to work with! I walked in with very little of an idea of what I wanted and a lot of what I didn't want. She quickly put me at ease with a selection of dresses that were in my price range and gorgeous! Over all 10/10 I would send any brides to be to Blush in Bangor!
I had such a wonderful experience at Blush at the Bangor location! All the staff we worked with were friendly, professional, and helpful! Allie worked hard to make sure our experience was unforgettable! Allie was such a pleasure to work with!
Emma was amazing and the staff at blush were so kind, transparent, and helpful! The shop is so cute and they even have shoes now!
