Don't go here! This was my first place I looked for a gown. There's overall a lack of professionalism, lack of options, lack of budget ranges. Most of the gowns I tried on felt and looked cheap and the price tag did not reflect. I was shamed for my budget and walked out of the store feeling discouraged like I had to find a way to increase how much I wanted to spend on a dress to get something I like and didn't look like I was playing dress up. Upon my next bridal store experience I found this was not the case and tried on 8+ dresses that I loved and we're less than half the price of the dresses at The Bridal Shoppe. Just save your time and energy and skip this one.

The Bridal Shoppe was amazing to work with when trying to find my dream dress! I felt comfortable and not pressured to try on dresses that didn't feel "me". The consultant worked with my vision and helped me find the perfect dress and order the correct size!
The week of my wedding, I received mail from The Bridal Shoppe with 2 coozies saying "Bride" and "Groom". It was nice to know that they remembered me and made me feel special even after I had picked up my dress.

Khrista was fantastic! I walked in with a specific idea and budget for my dress. We went over my Pinterest board and she pulled everything in my budget for my style and helped me narrow down as we went along. Then at the end she pulled other styles and told me she just wanted me to try them all on so I didn’t regret it later - and I’m glad I did! I picked a dress that wasn’t even on my radar!
As for suit rentals- I wouldn’t use them again. Thankfully we were able to get everything situated. But it was stressful, especially with a bridal party from out of town. But somehow the measurements were incorrect for 4 of the suits. The kicker here - the 4 that were wrong actually went in to personally get measured. So it was either a mess up at the store or at Jim’s Formal Wear. Thankfully my out of town people were fine.

I highly recommend The Bridal Shoppe in Crystal City, MO. The staff was so kind and encouraging. My consultant was incredibly knowledgeable and when I described my vision for my dress, she listened intently and found exactly what I wanted. The first dress I tried on was THE dress. I had driven almost an hour to get to this shop so even though I knew that was my dress, I said I wanted to try on every possible dress to make sure I was making the right decision. She was completely honest with me regarding if a dress was good for my frame and style all while showing respect and tact. It was obvious she wasn't trying to coax me into buying something more expensive (THE dress was not the most expensive and was within my budget), and she was patient with me as I tried THE dress on 3 other times. They worked with me on a payment plan and I was able to make payments over the phone. I found the dress in February and as it wasn't a "buy off the rack" situation I was told my dress would be ready to be picked up in July. I was called at the end of May because it had already arrived... and that was in the middle of COVID! I cannot say enough good about The Bridal Shoppe. It was absolutely worth the drive!

My experience was everything I’ve dreamed of! On a whim we booked a “wine event” so we had the shop to ourself. After a day of stressful appointments at other places that seemed to just want us to buy and get out, this was amazing! Taylor was so sweet and had a perfect grasp of what I was looking for. She was so helpful and made it a truly enjoyable and memorable experience! Tons of great dress options and great viewing area for the entourage. I loved it so much and can’t wait for my dress to come in!

My experience with The Bridal Shoppe was fantastic. From the moment I walked in the door, Khrista was super helpful. She ultimately picked my dress – a style that I would not have selected for myself. Khrista even went above and beyond to help with the accessories. She was just overall amazing to work with. The prices cannot be beat either – I saved hundreds on the same dress compared to some of the St. Louis bridal shops. I’ve since returned to order bridesmaids dresses for additional weddings I’m in. I would definitely recommend The Bridal Shoppe!

These ladies went above AND beyond to make sure all of the important ladies in my life and I felt as beautiful as possible on our big day.
Taylor, my bridal stylist, was incredible to work with. I came in with very little idea of what I wanted to look like on my wedding day and she managed to pull the perfect dress right away. I fell in love with the second dress I tried on and she made the buying process SO easy! She would text me with updates on my dress and was there for every visit we made afterwards: for bridesmaid dresses and mother of the bride and groom dresses.
If you’re looking for a vendor who will take care of you from start to finish, you need look no further. These ladies are so brilliant that I’ve already taken my dear friend shopping for her bridal gown here - she found one at that visit and it’s on its way here now!
Thank you guys for making everyone feel stunning in our special day!!

The employees at this establishment were the sweetest people you could ever meet when it comes to this important day. I went in with zero expectations, not expecting to find a dress at all. It was more of a day for the moms than anything else. They let us peruse the dresses, explaining how everything was organized, and how to read the tags for pricing and sizes. They let my bridal party go wild pulling dresses for me while the assigned assistant escorted me around asking what I was really looking for. She was extremely friendly and put me at ease within seconds of closing the curtain. She explained that my comfort was the most important aspect that day and if I didn't like a dress for any reason, even while she was pulling it up for me, to let me know and she'd get me in something else ASAP. We ended up finding a dress that fit my body almost perfectly, the pricing was PERFECT, and it made me stop and stare at myself for longer than I ever had. She was almost more excited than I was and let me stay in the dress a little while longer. They even provided a list of seamstresses they recommend in the area as I did need to get it hemmed. The entire experienced began as full of anxiety and longing for it to be over, and because of the staff quickly changed into something fun and exciting.

Absolutely loved! This was the first place I went to try on dresses and I loved that my mom and I got to walk around and pick out any and all dresses I wanted to try on. I then went to many many other bridal dress shops and learned the hard way that not all places are as pleasant or allow as much freedom as The Bridal Shoppe. So we went back to where we started and I had Emily help me for the second time and within just a few dresses I had found my one. Worth the drive from St. Louis county. I received so many compliments on how gorgeous my dress was and I didn't have to pay a fortune for it which made it even better. We also got the bridesmaid dresses from here and my girls had no problem sorting through that process. The Shoppe also sent me "Mr." and "Mrs." koozies prior to the wedding which we used for the whole wedding day. 10/10 would recommend!

I could not have asked for a better experience. they live up to their motto of being the friendliest bridal shop, especially Marion. Marion was so friendly and kind. She truly listened to what I wanted, never made me feel rushed and truly made me feel comfortable. I felt like she truly cared about me as a person and not just selling me a dress. Thanks so much! Everyone we encountered this morning was kind and had a smile on their face. The best part about this place was how affordable they were. Truly something for everyone's budget! I cant wait until my dress comes in this summer!

Andrea is so sweet and amazing! I was a little nervous about getting a dress, as I’m a very indecisive person, and didn’t want to spend a huge amount of money. She told me up front that the size I normally wear which is about a 2 would probably mean I’m around a 6 in wedding dress size. Of course every dress designer is different. Once I tried them on I totally agree. The 6 was a teeny tiny amount to big but the 4 would’ve been too tight! So I picked out about 10 dresses and she picked out a few for me and the two that I narrowed down to were ones she picked out and the first dress I tried on was the dress I got. The ladies are friendly, down to earth, and will work with you. Andrea made sure I was comfortable and helped me greatly! My first bridal shoppe experience and happily the only one I have to go to!! ❤️

Loved working with everyone here! I got my dress from them and they worked with me over my scheduled appointment time to make sure I had exactly what I wanted. Since my experience was so great we also got my junior bridesmaids dresses from here as well. They helped me find exactly what I wanted for them and then were flexible with them coming in to get measured. We also used them for the suits. I loved their options and they helped make sure even out littlest junior groomsmen looked sharp that day. Everyone there is very friendly and were always ready to help with any questions!

I actually found my dress at a different bridal shop but had a terrible experience at the location. Therefore refusing to give them my business. A girl I work with told me to try The Bridal Shoppe. She thought she seen a very similar dress on their facebook page... so what do I do... stalk their facebook page and find some very beautiful dresses. So I call to make up a appointment and find out that they do a private appointment where you pay a small amount and they provide wine and snacks and it is only you and your girls in the salon. Of course I did it... I booked a private appointment for me and my girls to go dress shopping. During the appointment my consultant was very patient while she put me in 22 different dresses.... 22! then she asked me... then there on the bottom of the pile … THERE WAS THE DRESS! when I called and made the appointment I told the shop over the phone about my horrible experience and falling in love with a dress... they remembered the dress! I bought my dress, veil and picked out my bridesmaids dresses that day.
My bridesmaids ordered their dresses in March and come time for them to get them sized one of my girls dresses was WAY too big... everywhere we took it to be altered said they couldn't do it... they could change the dress dramatically but it would cost more than the dress did... so I took it down to the shop and spoke with the girls working... they sized my bridesmaid... one of the girls working was very similar is size.. .she tried the dress on... they agreed that its wasn't ordered incorrectly that particular dress design was just made differently … but now we are 30 days out from my wedding and we will at least have to get it hemmed... The Bridal Shoppe made it happen! they ordered a smaller dress and rushed it so we would have it in time at no additional cost to me or my bridesmaid.... I will forever recommend them to every future bride I know!

I had a wonderful experience wedding dress shopping! Taylor was so great and helped me try on as many dresses as I wanted. She also helped me narrow down what I liked and visualize my dream dress! I ended up purchasing a dress “off the rack” for $500! Since it was so reasonable, I was able to spend money on alterations to make a already beautiful gown into a custom dream dress. I had so many compliments on my dress, and I seriously could not love it more. The Bridal Shoppe was wonderful all the way around. The staff is so sweet and not pushy at all. I really felt like they genuinely wanted me to find what was best for me whether or not they “made a sale.” Taylor even sent me a handwritten note in the mail after my visit! Highly recommend this bridal salon!

If I could do 0 stars I would. I had so many issues with this place when getting my bridal gown. First, there was a mishap with my scheduled appointment which was done through email, and the shop seemed inconvenienced that they messed up and put me down for the wrong time and I had asked them to change it back, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I ended up finding my dress there and I ordered a belt to go with it. I was not told it would take THREE months to get this belt. When I went to pick up my dress for alterations, I was finally told it would be three months and noone had an answer for me as to why I wasn't told this. I ended up using the Tina Fisher Alteration's which the Bridal Shoppe strongly encouraged me to use as it's the mother of one of their consultants. This lady was downright awful as she told me the alterations would be one price and then came back $100 more and even went off on me. The alterations lady even said the Bridal Shoppe was saying bad things about me (I'm guessing because I made a deal about noone telling me the belt took three months to get). When I brought up all of my issues to Amy - the manager/owner, she told me that this was just my side of the story and that it was lies that this lady said anyone in her shop could talk bad about me. She continued to argue with me and finally issued me a refund on my belt which I no longer wanted, because I found one for half price online. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT AND HORRIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS! I would strongly not recommend them!

I first heard about The Bridal Shoppe at a wedding show; they were offering discounts if you spun a wheel and made an appointment. I went ahead and went through with it figuring it would be a good place to start looking. I ended up loving the 2nd dress I tried on and bought that day. The set up was a little strange. They let everybody go around and pick dresses you think you'd like but it's impossible to see them in the bags. The employee brought out 3 dresses were exactly what I was looking for and were great. They did bring out dresses that were above my stated budget but told me right away so I could just avoid even looking at those dresses. I took one star away because they only had the dress I wanted in blush and could not show what it would look like in ivory and this made the decision very difficult. They did end up finding one online which helped but it would have been nice to be able to see the real thing to make my decision.

I had an absolutely great experience finding my dream dress at the Bridal Shoppe. My bridesmaids also bought their dresses from here and they were more affordable than other bridal shops. My only complaint is that they originally ordered the wrong dress in their system but caught the mistake right away. When I went to pick up my dress, they tried to charge me more than I thought I still owed on the dress. After insisting that the amount was less, we discovered that they still had the old dress in the system which was more expensive. They fixed their error and were professional.

The Bridal Shoppe was my one stop shop for wedding dress shopping. They were the FIRST and LAST place I shopped. I visited the bridal store - more or less just for fun - and ending up finding my stunning wedding gown. My princess wedding dress not only had the perfect look but it had amazing quality as well. I knew the dress was meant to be when it almost fit me PERFECTLY (size/length/bust/everything!) I live about 30 minutes from this store but I had heard so many good things about it so I had to check it out and now I see why they are highly talked about. The price was reasonable & the staff was friendly. Thank you!

The Bridal Shoppe was great! Before I went to The Bridal Shoppe, I tried on dresses at David's Bridal. They were so pushy, and it was very obvious they just wanted my money. They had no concern with finding a dress that I loved! Not to mention... They told me my budget was, "too low," for the kind of dress I wanted! When I got to the Bridal Shoppe... They found a ton of dresses that were in my budget, and were just what I was looking for. They were friendly, and never once made me feel like they just wanted my money.
I tried on one dress, and fell head over heels in love with it! It did end up being a little over my budget, but they have the option to pay 30% down, then $30 towards it each month until it's paid off. That worked out perfect for me! They also work with, "The Alteration Shoppe," down the street from them. So, I was able to have my dress altered for a major discount.
I'm sorry to say, but I forgot the lady who helped me look for my dress. Though I will say, from the times I went in there to pay on my dress, everyone I met was friendly, and very easy going.
Very pleased with The Bridal Shoppe, and I still haven't seen another dress I love as much as mine! Thanks for all the help, girls!

My wedding was June 18th 2016, I purchased my dress June 2015. I was able to get it off the sale rack (woohoo). Tonya was my consultant and she was absolutely amazing! She spent almost 2 and half hours with me and my family trying on dresses! I was stuck in between two dresses and she was very patient with me. The service I received here was great! I wold recommend them.

My personal dress shopping and bridesmaid dress shopping experience was amazing. Melissa helped us and she made everything perfect. She was able to not overwhelm me with a crazy amount of dresses, she really listened to my budget and what I was looking for but also to the idea I was open to try different things.
Plus we got great discounts on other needed items, such as bridesmaid dresses, guys attire, & the bus.
The guys attire was not as great of an experience. In the end everything was fitting and looked amazing on wedding day but every single person had the wrong size ordered. When the measurements were being taken they kept telling this girl they have never worn sizes like 2xl or size 38 pants, yet she insisted she knew what she was doing. Surprise, surprise when they came in they were swimming in their clothes. They did fix the mistake and rushed ordered the correct sizes, but I think they could have saved everyone the rush order and extra trip if this girl would have just listened.

I bought our bridesmaids dresses and tuxedos at the bridal shoppe because you receive a discount when buying both. The first time we went in, everything was great, answered all of our questions, but after that, eveything went down hill. They never called to let us know that the bridesmaid dresses we're in, they ordered dresses 10x too big so alterations we're very difficult. On the guy side, I told them the lost of everyone of the groomsmen and ushers, so with so many people the grooms should have been free, but they made him pay a deposit because they only had 4 people down as renting (we had a total of 8). When the guys went to pick up their tuxes, they still made him pay and then overcharged the junior groomsman. They had all of their measurements wrong, I asked not to have "slim" pants, and they ordered slim pants, so they didn't fit the groomsmen. On the day of our wedding, the buttons on the jackets fell off BEFORE the ceremony! Causing alot of issues at the church. When I went in to talk with the shop about the complaints, the owner was VERY condescending and rude and did not take responsibility for anything and basically said all the problems were due to my bridal party. (This is the new owner by the way). I would not recommend going there for anything.

I was talked in to buying a dress I didn't like and then when I drove by the next week saw in the window a dress that I loved. They refused to let me switch dresses even though I was willing to pay more for the new dress and my old one had been bought off the rack, but still in their possession. Then when I went to pick it up none of the breaking had been fixed and it had not been steamed like I was told. Overall TERRIBLE experience

Melissa at Bridal Shoppe is amazing! She was always willing to answer any questions I had and did so in a friendly manner. They were even able to order a dress for me that they didn't carry. Great variety of dresses available.

I bought my dress at The Bridal Shoppe and it was simply beautiful. The sales associates there are wonderful and they treat you with such respect and listen to your needs. We also got our tuxes there and bridesmaid dresses. Everything was perfect. I love The Bridal Shoppe! They are also affordable and have tons to choose from. Jennifer is the best!

I was happy with my decision to use the Bridal Shoppe. They are close to home for me and met all my expectations. The wine appointment is the way to go! We got the full attention of Melissa and she was wonderful!

My dress was beautiful. The alterations people they want you to use though are not the greatest. They are not the friendliest and they are very expensive. I would recommend going to somewhere else for alterations.

The first time I stepped into this little shop in Crystal City, I was pleasantly surprised. I found the dress I wanted immediately and ordered it, they mentioned the VIP program they had and said if we bought the bridesmaid dresses there I would save 180 on my dress. I thought no brainer sure. Well the next time I came in the staff was not attentive at all, and very rude to all my girls pressuring them into choosing to buy right that day. Even after some of the girls stated they couldn't afford the dress that day. After the poor service and rudeness of the staff we ultimately decided not to buy the dresses there. Fast forward a few weeks ago I went in to payoff my dress they said my balance was 189 which is what I was expecting. I paid it off then decided to order my veil too which was another 188, I put half down. I came in today to pick up my veil and pay the other half and they said I owed 270 because I didn't do the VIP program. I told them I was in a few weeks ago and told them I was paying it off and no mention of it then. They offered no apologies, nor any assistance and insisted to pick up my veil I had to pay them 270. Now because they royally screwed me over I will not be able to have hair and makeup done. This was the most awful experience ever when it should have been fun and exciting. I would never recommend this shop to anyone.

I was addicted to maggie dresses so I went to every shop in the st louis area who had them. I liked a particular dress and the bridal shoppe had this dress for $400 cheaper than any of the other shops. Overall they were the cheapest for the exact dress and were VERY helpful. They didn't have a ton of others girls scheduled at the same time as me like the other shops so they gave me plenty of attention and were very helpful and didn't push any dresses on me that weren't in my own taste (and I'm very picky). Overall, they were amazing and I highly recommend that everyone who wants a maggie dress shops there. (ps, clarice's was the most pricey of the places I went for the same dress style numbers)

I had the most enjoyable experience at The Bridal Shoppe. My consultant took the time to listen to me, let me pull a few dresses and then pulled some that she knew I would like. I had shopped at other stores and felt ignored at times but I was never left alone for any long periods of time. I was also happy that she was willing to stay in my lower price range.

My daughter searched online for wedding dresses and there were two stores that carried the majority of the dresses she liked: Blossoms Bridal in St. Louis and The Bridal Shoppe in Crystal City. Since we live in St. Louis, we went to Blossoms first. It was not the type of shopping experience we expected. We were limited to 90 minutes. A young girl helped my daughter and did not offer any guidance or suggestions. We decided to make the drive to Crystal City to go to The Bridal Shoppe and it was worth it!!! Marion helped my daughter every step of the way. My daughter was interested in ball gowns so Marion helped her select dresses. The part I appreciated the most was that Marion also encouraged her to try on other styles. She talked to my daughter about her size/shape and the reasons other styles would look good on her. Well,thanks to Marion, we ended up LOVING several styles that were not ball gowns! Marion was so professional and I marveled at her ability to point out the positive features of every dress without ever giving her personal opinion. When we were all in agreement that my daughter had found "the dress" Marion suggested that she not try on the remaining dresses in the dressing room. That was perfect advice! My daughter now has the wedding dress of her dreams.

I found the perfect dress here for a great price. It was unique and beautiful, and they treated me great. Don't let "Say Yes to the Dress" fool you. You can get a gorgeous unique dress without spending 10,000, and you can don't have to sacrifice star treatment. We also outfitted all our groomsmen, flowergirls, and bridesmaids here. When one of my bridesmaids lost so much weight her dress was falling off of her, they fixed it with no fuss.

Everyone we worked with here was very personable. I bought my wedding gown from here and didn't even realize it was on clearance until after I put it on and fell in love with it.

I had an almost 2 year engagement before we tied the knot. 3 months after he proposed I found a dress that I absolutely fell in love with online. I started calling EVERYWHERE!!! Unfortunately, I was told that the Maggie Sottero McCall had been discontinued a month ago :-( THANK GOODNESS I had one more place to call... The Bridal Shoppe! And they found one in their store. In the color I wanted. In my size. It was fate... period! Months before my wedding I went back to the Bridal Shoppe to buy the rest of my accessories! They were so great and nice to me, and I am forever grateful!

The bridal shop was great. I didn't have a problem with them. I did use their alterations the only problem I had was that my bustle it did not hold up. My bridesmaids kept having to tie them and making it a knot.

Jennifer was excellent and helped me find the dress I had been searching for! And the seamstress Terry did a great job altering all of the dresses, including adding fabric to one of my bridesmaids who had gained weight. Price was also right. However, the first seamstress we worked with refused to hem my dress because she would have to untack lace from the bottom. Several of our groomsmen also had trouble with their suits not fitting.

When I went in to order from the Bridal Shoppe, they promised me that they would put beadwork on my dress. However, the seamstress that promised this got fired, and then they told me they could no longer put beads on the dress because she was the only one that did this. This upset me because I might not have purchased the dress knowing this. So then I figured I would just get a nice headpiece instead. When I found one that I liked, another worker said she would write the item number down for me and stick it in my file so I could order it the next time I came in. The next time I came into the store, they failed to have my headpiece written down, and I didn't see the one that I liked anywhere. Supposedly this worker got fired too. I was very disappointed because they failed to keep their word; as a bride, I didn't see my dress looking as good as what it would have if the promises had been kept. I received no refund for my troubles. However, I will say that they are much more reasonable than other bridal stores, and they actually have smaller sizes to try on in store. Moral of the story - do not go in expecting good service, but go in expecting to save money.

I was very happy with my experience at The Bridal Shoppe! I looked at hundreds of dresses at other places before finding the perfect one at The Bridal Shoppe! Surprisingly, a lot of people I know have found their dress at this place! Service was always good, and they have a nice VIP package that helps out with costs.

I found the dress I wanted and when I went here I knoew that was where I would purchase. I was assisted by Teal who was really sweet. They have dresses in all sizes so you can actually try on a dress that fits you without all those clips. My dress was beautiful!!! On the wedding day,however,the loops of my dress were ripping
;( I was almost not even able to wear my dress but someone came just in time with a sewing kit! I believe it was a manufacturer defect and it is being sent back. The bridal shop was very understanding - lets just hope they can get something done. It is not OK for your dress to fall apart the ONE day you wear it.
