So the shop looks a little worn, and sometimes the staff is a little busy, but every time I came back to the shop (which was about 7 times) they were so warm and helpful. Their selection is great - from modern, to traditional, to a few over the top items - and their alterations can't be beat! Modern Bridal Shop was the best small bridal boutique for a bride that wants a dress for around or under $1,000.

I bought my wedding dress at Modern Bridal and love it very much. After bad experiences at the larger shops (David's & Alfred Angelo), I wanted to try a local shop for variety. The ladies at Modern Bridal were so kind and friendly, it reminded me of a place where I would have looked for a prom dress. I told them what I was looking for and tried on 3 gowns, and bought the second one I tried on. I took it home without any alterations (it fit like a glove off the rack) and also bought a veil. This was a great experience and I will recommend this shop to my engaged friends when it comes time for their dress shopping.

My sister is getting married and we have been looking for "the" dress. We have been to a few bridal salons and she has done extensive research on what she was looking for. She went onto Modern Bridal's website and found a beautiful gown from a specific collection. When we got there, Rhonda, was the consultant assigned to us. She was friendly enough at first, but she did not seem to know the stock very well. She said that they do not know the name of the designers or collections for the dresses and that they do not carry the dress that my sister printed off from their website. She told us to look through the dresses and pull out what we wanted. She never helped us find anything. We did, on our own, find the exact dress from the picture (the one Rhonda told us they did not carry). We found a few more dresses and then went to try them on. Rhonda never asked us if she needed undergarments so she could try on her dress. I had to go find her and ask if they had something she could use. My sister tried on the dress and came out so all of us with her could look at it. There was another bride out there and Rhonda and another consultant were gushing all over the other bride, telling her how beautiful she looked and fussing over her. They completely ignored my sister. We were standing there for a few minutes before Rhonda realized we needed her. She came over to clip the dress so it would fit better, but the whole while, she was talking to the other bride. The only time either bridal consultant paid attention to us was when my mom tried to take a picture and they told us that pictures were not allowed, and then they went back to the first bride. My sister was so upset, she did not even want to try on the other dresses we had picked out. We tell Rhonda that and she asks if everything is ok. When my sister walked out, Rhonda looked at me, and laughing a little, asked me what was wrong. I told her how they made my sister feel less than special when this was supossed to be her day. She said they were short staffed. This is NOT an appropriate response. I told her that there were 2 consultants, so they did not need to both be helping the same bride. We were VERY disappointed in the lack of professionalism, expertise and service that we experienced. We left and went to Lily's Bridal right across the street, and my sister found and bought her dream dress. Due to their rudeness and lack of care, they lost out on a sale. This was unfortunate because their dress selection is nice. I reccommend NOT going to Modern Bridal. If you want great service and the same great selection of dresses, just go across the street to Lily's Bridal.

Modern bridal has affordable dresses, but they should stop selling BIll Levkoff bridesmaids dresses. The samples that they have compared to the quality of the final product is totally different, my bridesmaids had to get the dresses completely altered and when I called Modern Bridal and Bill Levkoff they both didn't want anything to do with the product. This is a warning never buy Bill Levkoff dresses.

The ladies at this store were all amazing. They got me my dress which was huge since I was so tiny, but they tailored it perfectly and in just 2 days!!! They were very easy to work with, professional, and kind even when I wanted to stand there all day trying and re-trying veils on over and over. The owner even let me in on the day the were remodeling after I explained that I took the day off of work specifically to come try and order the dress. She walked me to the back, took the measurements herself and got me all ordered while men were ripping out flooring and had glue everywhere. LOL, I was SUPER grateful she didn't just send me back home. She was understanding and we worked it out.

Modern Bridal is a great shop. Everyone is very nice. They showed us around and told us to just start pulling dresses that I liked. After a little bit, I started to try some on. LaVoria was helping us and after a couple dresses I had picked she brought one back that we hadn't pulled. That ended up being my dress! If you are looking for any dress, go to Modern Bridal and ask for LaVoria. (For the record, everyone there is lovely, but LaVoria is fantastic.) When we went back for a fitting another woman helped us. Unfortunately I don't remember her name, but she tried a veil on me that was perfect with my dress and we bought it right there. We did have to have my bustle redone because the seamstress didn't really understand how it was suppose to fan out to show off the beading. But LaVoria helped us with that as well and it turned out great.

I looked for a wedding gown long and hard to try to find something that fit both my style and my body type, as well as my budget. I looked in Demetrios (several locations, actually), Minerva's Bridal, and online at Alfred Angelo and even David's Bridal. My Matron of Honor had gotten her dress and our bridesmaids dresses at Modern Bridal several years earlier, so I decided to give it a go. One of the employees, Lavoria, suggested a dress which ended up being THE dress, and it was stunning!!! Throughout the entire process they were extremely pleasant and professional (Lavoria, owner Luann, Kristen, seamstress Irma, and the rest of the team were so kind!), and we had no major mishaps with orders, sizes, colors, etc. The only problem I ran into is on the day of the wedding with the bustle and the train. All the other alterations - dropping the waist on my gown, hollow-to-hem measurements on my gown, taking it in on the sides, etc., and all the alterations to the bridesmaids' gowns - were just fine. The problem was with the weight of my train - my train was HUGE and long, and had multiple layers of heavy satin, so once we had me bustled and I started to move, the zipper of my dress literally could not support the weight of the dress, and the zipper kept popping open in the back mid-dance. After four or five times of dashing into the hallway with an entourage of girls to help me get re-zipped into my dress, we finally had to pin the bottom of the dress together to keep it from popping open. It definitely wasn't an issue of me not fitting in my gown - the top was actually a bit large on me the day of, but we decided against making it too tight. I don't think it's Modern Bridal's fault, per se, but rather the manufacturer's (Jasmine Bridal) for having a totally shoddy zipper in a gown that really needed a corset back or a button closure rather than the craptastic zipper. I would have hoped, though, that the seamstresses after seeing the weight of the train would have suggested to me that I do something to reinforce the back, however again you'd think the manufacturer would know how to make their own gown. I went in after the honeymoon to show Luann the dress and get it cleaned, and she was extremely apologetic and as a result she cleaned my gown for me for free. It was annoying and a little embarrassing to have my dress keep popping open in the back, but luckily an armada of safety pins kept me in the dress the rest of the night after we figured out what the problem was. My train also fell a few times from the bustle, again because of the weight despite having heavy hooks-and-eyes, so if I had to do it again maybe I'd have them add double hooks and eyes and I'd also add snaps or something for extra weight distribution for that heavy of a gown. My mom also wasn't completely satisfied with her alterations, but I think if we had said something to them about it they would have fixed it immediately. Bottom line: I adored my dress, I adored the bridesmiads' dresses, my mom's dress was stunning, and we got it all at really good prices and with awesome customer service. I just would be more proactive in understanding what could possibly go wrong with a heavy train on a wedding gown!!

I was just married on NYE, and had bought my dress a full year in advance, however, life happened and I was almost 4 months pregnant by the time the wedding date arrived. I am from Canada, and have left the dress at the store so we were all praying it would still fit. Unfortunately the dress didn't fit, so needless to say I was a bit upset. Lavina, who had helped me pick the original dress came to the rescue and allowed me to pick a new dress. that actually was even more beautiful than the first. I could not have wished for a better overall experience. Thank-you for everything!!!!

Modern Bride offers a variety of classy bridesmaid dresses; because I was more mature in age; I wanted my girls to have a simple but elegant dress. I received quality service.

I was very pleased with their professionalism. I, unlike many other brides, found my dress right away. Modern bridal was the second place I visited in my search for gowns. I found the dress of my dreams and at an affordable price. Would defenitly recomend them.

They are very helpful, but not at all pushy. They helped my little sister find the perfect Sweet 16 dress. The alterations they did to the dress made it a perfect fit for her, and at a teriffic price! LaVoria was a very sweet lady who took her time to help us find the perfect dress. I would reccomend this place to anyone looking for their perfect wedding gown or ball gown.

Love this dress shop. We purchased all of our attire for the wedding from here. I have purchased other dresses for wedding from here as well. I have always been very happy with the service we have received from here. They are very friendly and helpful!

LuAnne at Modern Bridal Boutique did my bridal gown alterations, even though I purchased my dress from another boutique out of state. LuAnne was able to alter my dress down almost 2 sizes while maintaining it's delicate rouching and bead work on the hem line. She understood how important it was for me to be able to move and dance in a strapless gown and feel secure at the same time. I highly recommend her! You get what you pay for, and it's worth it.

I lost a bunch of weight before my wedding so I had to buy a dress off the rack. I looked everywhere in our area and ended up finding this place in Orlando. I found my dress there and I loved it! Good experience there.

The people were very nice and patient. Good knowledge. Alterations on the wedding dress were amazing. The other dress I had altered was altered too tight, but the wedding dress was all that mattered and fit me perfect

The shop (in downtown Orlando) has a good selection and a lot of very current, fashionable bridal gowns. The prices are fair (for bridal gowns - a little high on bridesmaids' dresses), and because the sales people work on commission, you can haggle them down. The sales people are friendly, but the shop is typically very busy, so don't expect upscale, individual attention from anyone. My suggestion is to go there with a good idea of what you want so you can navigate the dresses yourself.

There really was nothing negative about the experience, though nothing stood out either. I feel that Modern Bridal offered me the best price on my dream dress (I checked three other places, and they were all about $100 more for the same gown), and the dress was ready when I needed it, steamed and altered. I'd recommend this shop to any woman with a good idea of what she wants and an appreciation for good prices and efficient service.

My bridesmaid got her dress at Modern Bridal Shop. She was looking for a dress that would go with my wedding and also that was very nice and in style The service was pretty good at the shop and it had lots of selection so you can find lots of dresses at the shop. They have really good deals and also they have all of the latest trends. They helped her find her dress and also they made sure it fit her just right. She was happy with the service she received from them and so was I. We had a nice time at the shop.

I spent a grand total of around $1,000.00 in total on my gown, veil, crinoline, alterations and (free) strorage. Modern Bridal shop did an amazing job on my alterations, and they were always VERY pleasant. Even when I came back in for the hundredth time to show another bridesmaid or relative my gown, and ask for a discount on my veil. They happily gave me the discount and gave me a fitting room to try the gown again. I would recommend Modern Bridal Shop to anyone planning a wedding. Not only do they have a huge selection of brida gowns, but they also have an equally large selection of brdesmaid's dresses.
