After a proposal the first thing that comes to any bride’s mind is the vision of her in a wedding dress. What color, fit, style, length and look she is going for are just some of the questions that come to mind. For some brides-to-be, finding a wedding dress is thrilling but for others it is truly a painful process to walk into 20 stores to then come up short. Regardless of which bride-type you are… help is on its way. Below are 4 of my favorite shops locally in Arizona that will make the “wedding dress” process easy and fun for any bride-to-be!
Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique
645 North Gilbert Road
Gilbert, Arizona 85234
480.926.9106
The moment you walk into this boutique you are immediately greeted and you feel a true sense of warmth from the staff and not to mention over 800 dresses to try on in every style imaginable doesn’t hurt. Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique not only carries wedding dresses but they also carry bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride dresses and even tuxedos. The owner Suzanne Novak not only owns the boutique but she has also been a seamstress for over 30 years and understands what will work for any body type.
Adore Bridal Boutique
414 South Mill Avenue #208
Tempe, Arizona 85281
480.788.1733
Some clients I work with have more of an eco-conscious mindset and want to buy their dress used and the first boutique that always comes to mind is Adore Bridal Boutique in the heart of Tempe. I love the vibe of this shop, sometimes when people think of used/consignment they think of a musty and stuffy feeling but that is definitely not the case when you enter Adore. You can also book your appointment online with their convenient online calendar, which is nice because you can choose what day works best for you and your loved ones. I also love the antique look of this boutique and the fabric mannequins add the perfect touch to the décor!
Luv Bridal
803 North 7th Street
Phoenix, Arizona 85006
480.237.4390
This shop is for anyone that wants a glamorous experience when shopping for that special dress. The moment you step foot into Luv Bridal you instantly feel like you are walking into an art museum for dresses. Every piece is hung from piping, fixed to the ceiling and there are beautiful fainting couches and chandeliers that decorate the showroom that makes anyone feel like a million bucks.
Luv Bridal’s selection is anywhere from traditional to a pink ruffled chiffon sweetheart cut dress. You are bound to find a dress that will fit your personality!
Rent The Runway
www.renttherunway.com
Though this is not in Arizona, it is one of my “go to’s” for my clients that have expensive taste but not an expensive wallet. This is an amazing way to wear the expensive pieces that won’t break the bank. Rent the Runway recently came out with a bridal section on their website that has anywhere from Kate Spade clutches to Ben-Amun bridal combs retailed at $345 but can be rented for $50.
So there you have it, 4 of my favorite picks for every future bride to check out when it comes to finding that dream dress. But remember before you start your shopping make sure to know your budget, make an appointment and buy a dress that you love!
