Bridal Boutique of Carmel

I loved this store. I had a great time shopping here, and I think they have a great selection no matter your size or budget. I was able to find the dress that I loved, which I really was beginning to think would never happen. I had tried on so many dresses and had been to so many bridal boutiques that I actually walked in thinking that this store would be like the others. The place just has a great vibe. The staff is honest, they left me alone when they saw I was a little frustrated, and were really happy for me when I said I loved the dress. I only care about the price tag when I’m getting something just for the sake of having it, but I loved this dress and didn’t care how much it cost.

Love my dress and how Bridal Botique helped me to find the perfect one!

I loved my wedding dress and I got it from the back sample room at this boutique; therefore, it was a really good deal. I spent just as much on my veil and alterations as on the dress itself. But, even though I loved the dress, it was a real pain working with them. My fittings were delayed twice and I had to sit for an hour in the store before they handed over the dress (which I needed for a bridal portrait). Also, I'm not sure their alterations were of that high quality. Non-sample dresses were really high priced, but could be normal for designer dresses (I wouldn't know).

I would have given the store 5 stars if I would have found my wedding dress here, but it’s a great store and I think it’s worth checking out. I live in Indianapolis but my parents live in Carmel, and I drove down so that I could go dress shopping with my mother and sister. They have a super cute selection of flower girl dresses, and we bought one for my niece. We actually spent over 30 minutes looking through the flower girl dresses just because they have a great selection and because the dresses were so cute. This is also where my sister found her bridesmaid’s dress, from the prom section, on sale. The store has a great selection in dresses, and it was much better than any wedding dress chain store I’ve visited. My younger sister is getting married this year and this is where she bought her wedding dress from! I really love the staff, they’re friendly and patience. It was worth the drive, and it’s worth calling to find out about their trunk shows, too.

This was where we found the veil that I would use for my wedding, along with the bridesmaids dresses, and also the dress that my mother would wear to the wedding. This is a very typical bridal store. Unlike the Bridal Outlet where I bought my dress, this place was very well organized and the staff was very friendly and professional. We specifically went to their store because they were having a trunk sale, and we were able to buy the bridesmaids’ dresses for really cheap. I wanted my bridesmaids’ to be in simple dresses, and I wanted the dresses to be yellow, which was what we found. We went because of the trunk sale, but they always seem to have a section of discounted dresses. I bought my veil here because it was on sale, and I’m really happy we went here.

Being an out of state bride presented a lot of challenges...transport my dress? store my dress? where to have alterations? Bridal Boutique of Carmel was very accommodating. They stored my dress until I picked it up a few days before the wedding and they even worked with me with last minute alterations as I had to have my final fitting just a few days before the wedding. I purchased a Reem Acra wedding gown, 7 Jim Hjelm bridesmaids dresses, one flower girl dress and a Tony Federici headpiece. I felt I was given a fair discount on everything. The bridesmaids dresses could have been purchased for about 10% less online however I was very glad I worked through the bridal shop as they helped fix a few issues with seems on the dresses.
