The BEST Experience

My experience at the Modern Bride was fantastic. Their dress loft is massive - and they have so many dresses in multiple sizes. I found this to be really uncommon at other places. They also have a really creative team who understood my vision and quickly created a way to make it work. This included reaching out to the designer to change the neckline, AND add sleeves (something that hadn't been done with my dress before). The results were outstanding. I don't know how they understood what I wanted before I knew myself. TMB also creates a sense of community for brides - I found myself listening to their podcast, and following along with their socials. I felt connected through the whole experience. If I had a reason to buy another wedding dress.. I'd do it all over again with TMB.

Wonderful Experience

Megan was so helpful and made my dress buying experience so easy! The loft was beautiful and the Apres Oui dress pick-up experience was so unique and fun! Nowhere does it like TMB.

Your Bridal shop go to!

Recently visited the Modern Bride. Shelby was our assistant for our visit. We had the private room which was nice for my group. Shelby allowed us to pick out the dresses I wanted to try on and brought them all down. She was super helpful and professional the entire visit. We then got to celebrate saying "yes to the dress" down the street at the accessory store which was the grand opening of TMB apres Oui. Complementary Champaign to celebrate as well as a full bar for purchase. We also got to take group photos in the Photo Booth. Over all such a fun day with my bridesmaids and Mom and TMB made the experience that much more amazing!

Wedding Dress

TMB was my third stop when getting my dress. Right from when I walked in the door I felt at ease. The space was beautiful and my stylist, Megan, was really attentive and patient with me and my party. When I stepped into my dress and had my “this is the one” moment it was priceless. I’ve recommended shopping here to so many people and some of my friends have even bought their dresses from here too! Would absolutely recommend!

What dreams are made of!!

My experience at The Modern Bride was everything I hoped for and more!! The store itself is beautiful and such a nice environment for a special day with the people you choose to bring. Everyone made us feel so comfortable.

All I needed was one appointment to find my dress, which is shocking as I’m a very indecisive person but Sophia made it so easy for me. I had no idea what I was looking for, but based on my descriptions she picked out so many dresses I loved. She also respected my budget and only pulled within that amount. Adele also helped with my appointment and ended up suggesting the Alena Leena dress I said yes too :)

Allison was also able to contact my dress designer to have custom detachable sleeves created for my dress which was amazing!

Overall my experience was perfect and I wish I could go back and relive it!

Do not use

Their seamstress ruined wedding dress and no one cares, no refunds, no offer to fix it or support to find new dress 2 weeks before wedding. Obviously a persoanl mistake to spend over 5k at this salon, they can only handle dresses at a $200 price point witht the level of service they provide

Dress of My Dreams!

I purchased my wedding dress with TMB back in July 2021 and just got to wear it this past weekend!!!
It was PERFECT.
I had the most wonderful experience with Emma. As a plus size bride I was extremely nervous to go dress shopping. Emma made me so comfortable and had tricks and tips for me to see how the dress would fit even if the sample sizes were a bit to small. I walked in wanting to try on Maudie by Willowby and it was the exact dress I left with. When you know, you know! I had so many compliments this weekend and everyone said it was me in a dress. 🥰💕

Dream dress!!

I had such a fabulous experience at the modern bride. The loft is beautiful and the consultants were great at observing how I was responding to dresses I tried on and brought me recommendations based on what was working and what wasn’t. The dress I ended up saying “yes” to was one they brought to me! I felt so special throughout the dress shopping process and so beautiful and confident on my wedding day in my dream dress!

Outstanding service and atmosphere

I visited Modern Bride as my first ever bridal store, I was floored by the beautiful store, the dresses and the staff. They were extremely accommodating, fun to work with and helped me decide on my final dress. I went back for a final fitting and felt like a princess and the overall experience was incredible!
