Had a really great experience at Bridal Couture in Birmingham. Had visited a few boutiques when looking for my dress and found "the one" here! It was gorgeous and the staff was so helpful- they were the ones to suggest it to me. Great price variations and tons of dresses to look at. They never make you feel uncomfortable (especially if you are on a budget) and were great to work with for my alteration process. Especially loved working with Carol; and can thank her for finding my dress for me! Would highly recommend checking it out!

Julie's Bridal Couture is a wonderful bridal shop. I found a georgous Pronovias dress, bought my finger tip veil, flower girl dress, jr. bridesmaid dress and wedding beaded clutch from them.It is a great family business, knew they would take good care of me and they did. For this being a rather stressful experience, Carol made it fun and even when I had buyer's remore, Amy let me change my gown the next day...and she and I were so glad we did...it was a perfect dress for my perfect wedding.This store was purchased a couple of years ago...so those brides who had bad experiences, it is not the same ownership. They have a ton of dresses, different sizes and different price points. I highly recommend them!

Julie's Bridal was very wonderful to work with. I found my dress only a couple months after getting engaged and had almost a 2 year engagement. They held the dress for me and contacted me when it was time for fittings. They have wonderful couture dresses that are unique.

I purchased my wedding dress, veil, and wrap from Bridal Couture. When I picked everything up, I looked at all of the pieces and everything looked good. I had to transport the dress across the state 4 hours. When I arrived at the location of our wedding, I pulled the dress out and in natural light I found an area on the front of the dress that was discolored. It was an ivory dress and it had an area that appeared to be white. In addition, there was a very small pin point whole that was in the center of the discolored area. My suggestion is to really check everything before you leave the store. As the wedding was out of town, there was nothing that could be done. We also had a problem with the zipper on the bag the dress came in. It came off in the my hand the first time that I zipped up the bag making the zipper unable to be used.




I had a bad experience getting my dress here. I showed up one afternoon without an appointment (because their website says you don't need one), and they huffed and puffed about helping me. I was content to look around on my own, but eventually a sales lady came to help me out. It was painstakingly obvious that she wasn't happy about having to help me. She kept rolling her eyes, huffing, and disagreeing with me. I had to ask at least 5 times to try on a dress that was in a window display before she reluctantly took it down for me (then she tried to play it off like she was excited for me to try it on). She was rude and unaccommodating. Fortunately (and unfortunately), I found THE ONE while I was there, and it was a sample off the rack. The only reason I bought it from her was because it was discontinued and I'd never see it again elsewhere.
That said, after this particular consultant was out of the picture, things were great. The owner, Amy, was super nice. I took my dress to their Plymouth location to be pressed (for free), and the ladies there were also super nice.




Despite the great alteration service, the staff at Julie’s Bridal Couture was somewhat disengaged. I experienced some caddy and rude behavior from two of the staff and some issues with pricing that wasn’t explained when I put my deposit on the dress. However, the owner, when confronted with my issues was very accommodating, albeit a little too little, too late.
Overall, the dress was beautiful but I would have researched other shops more had I known this type of behavior was apparent.
Alterations were completed by an Eastern European seamstress who was very professional and thorough. Turnaround time was about 3-weeks and dress was pressed nicely.




They basically were the middle man, you look at some catalogs and they fit you then order them for you. I felt they were kind of snooty though, or maybe uppity is a better word. Everything is by appointment only, and I mean everything. I went to drop off an installment and they made me come back and get an appointment.
Professional and classy!
