A Princess Bride Couture Bridal Salon

I LOVED A Princess Bride! They were so awesome, everyone was helpful, and they helped me find an amazing dress in my price range! I highly recommend them!

This was the second place I went to try on bridal gowns. The first place I went was David's Bridal and I didn't really get good service there or find what I wanted. I went here on a Thursday in the middle of the day so there wasn't too much going on with other brides. They have beautiful antique style furniture and mirrors inside.

My consultant for the appointment was Mallorie. She was really nice and knowledgeable which made me feel comfortable. I described the kind of gown I was looking for as well as my price range since I was trying to find a gown for under $1,000 and I'm a plus-size so I needed a gown to flatter my figure. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to afford much from a place with designer gowns, but I was so surprised by the quality and all of the dresses there were gorgeous. She made great suggestions as well as let me look around and try on ones I picked.

The dressing rooms are a decent size, unlike David's Bridal. The first dress I tried on did just what she said it would. It made me look thinner and gave me a beautifully defined waist. I tried a few more on after that to be sure, but the first one was clearly the winner. It was normally priced for $1400, but they got it down to $899 and said if I bought it that day I could get it for $699(they have this thing where they give you $200 off if you buy it the same day you try it on)!

I loved the dress so I put down a deposit and paid off the rest just a few weeks later. Oh and the dress fit me almost perfectly off the rack! I only needed basic alterations and they did a great job with those too. This place is so nice and definitely has charm. The consultants and owner were attentive, very helpful, and didn't try to pressure me into buying anything or even getting my alterations there.
Overall I loved the experience here and my dress.

These guys are just lovely! I enjoyed working with them from the initial purchase of my dress through alterations. One of their alterations specialists worked with me to find matching lace for my dress, so that I could create the cap sleeves that I so wanted (but at the price I could afford). She directed me to the right spot and I was able to purchase the EXACT same lace for $30. I couldn't have been happier. I felt like a total "princess" through the whole process. Well done.

My experience here was good. We got great attention from our associate, Kelli. She was wonderful. We had a really fun time, and I got to try on as many dresses as I wanted. I didn't feel rushed. I ended up ordering my dress from them, and yes, it was not perfectly on time. However, it was not horribly late, and everything worked out. The price was fine, and the service was good. They will push you to get alterations done with them, but all it takes is a simple "no thanks", and they'll let it go.

The initial appointment was wonderful. The sales associate had pulled several dresses ahead of time based on input from my stylist (Mayna Sgaramello of ClosetFly). The dresses were great and reasonably priced - well within the budget I had given ahead of time. The sales associate was attentive and gave us plenty of room and time. She was patient and pleasant. I was able to select a dress on the first visit.

At the initial fitting, service was once again impeccable. The dressing room was prepped with my gown before I arrived. A different associate assisted with getting me into the necessary bra and then into the dress. I had brought the shoes I'd be wearing for the wedding as well as undergarments. The seamstress is quite direct but quite adept.

Unfortunately a second fitting was required - nothing awful but the dress had to have the hem further adjusted and some minor seam adjustments. The second fitting was not quite so well prepped. I had to ask for help in getting into the bra and dress. Unfortunately on my third visit (to pick up the dress), the service was almost non-existent. They were short a sales person - I understand how awkward that can be but so is standing around in your knickers and trying to find someone to stuff you into your dress. On a side note, the bra that I purchased from Princess Bride had areas were it had been stretched out - as if someone's fingers had overstretched the material. The bra is over $60, one would hope to get one in pristine condition - this one wasn't but they didn't have any others in stock. In context, you're only going to wear it once so it doesn't matter that much.

My maid of honor also selected her dress from Princess Bride and it was good service and alterations.

In summary, they have a great selection with reasonable prices. They met their commitments and the staff is pleasant. They're working at improving their customer service and it shows. I would purchase dresses from them in the future for...

Helpful, friendly staff. Beautiful collections but can be extremely pricey. The service is very slow, expect your appt to happen about 30 minutes after you book it.

I bought my dress at a wedding show at a significant discount in a size 12ish from Prince Bride Couture and they were able to tailor it to a size 8 for me. My dress looked great at an affordable price.

I had a great experience with A Princess Bride! As a plus-sized bride I was nervous about trying on sample dresses, but they had an excellent selection of "diva" samples. I also appreciated that they allowed me to look around the store and select my own gowns to try on... a few other places I went just asked me what I wanted and then pulled gowns for me. When you don't have a specific idea of what you're looking for, that doesn't help very much!

Gail, my consultant, was an absolute doll to work with, and I felt like she was really excited for me and my marriage and that she really cared about finding a dress that was right for me. Eventually we selected a Sophia Tolli gown, Alexanda. We ordered the dress in mid August 2011 and it arrived in the end of February 2012. The dress came in about 3 weeks earlier than expected!

I'm still waiting to go back for my alterations fitting, and will review alterations once they've been done.

They had a good selection of dresses. I spent a fair amount of time trying on different ones and I never felt rushed...which i am very thankful for. After trying on many, finally the lady (forgot her name) brought one more out and it was "the one".
My experience with the altering was a little rocky. I had to go back an additional time after the first alteration...due to their mistake. Then an extra clip in the back they added to make it fit more perfect snapped half way through the night when i coughed. But it still was the perfect dress.

This is an awesome boutique! A great selection of dresses and great quality. I was impressed that they didn't try to push their higher-end designer dresses, but rather kept my choices within my price range. Marissa was our consultant and she was fantastic! Can't say enough good things about her. She's very professional but also very fun to work with. Highly recommend this boutique!

I really loved working with A Princess Bride Couture in Bothell. Mallorie was my bridal consultant and she was great! I, like most brides, had a particular style of dress in mind. She pulled out everything that matched my vision and we were able to find something for me, after weeks of searching lots of salons!

Mallorie was great. She sent me pictures of my top 2 dresses via email (they were no longer available online) and she was available for communication over email as well! She also has such a great personality, she's so friendly and personable that I think it really helped relax me when I was a little nervous about trying on dresses for friends and family. She was also super helpful and it was just great to work with her :D

Besides the service, my dress was BEAUTIFUL! I got so many compliments on it. The dress was an off the rack dress, my size, the last one, and it was perfect sizing, and on sale and no issues with it. So I got fairly lucky :) The shop is a little pricier - thousands and up, is what I saw, but it's definitely worth checking out even if you have a lower price range for your dress. Just let the bridal consultant know, and she can pull some dresses within your range or even some off the rack dresses.

As much as I loved my dress and working with Mallorie, I do have to agree I wasn't 100% impressed with alterations. I got it done there. It was around $270 for shortening the dress and the straps. I came back in the second time and the dress was still much to long. She did shorten it again (don't worry they don't charge again) and it seemed fine during my final fitting so I brought it home. But during the wedding I tore the bottom of the dress, the petticoat, and tripped frequently. It really should've been...

They helped me find dress at the last point i had to find one came out beautful and met all my expectations

The consultant who helped me was Gail. She was amazing, very caring, and have me her true opinion. They are very professional. Although the gowns are on the expensive side, they carry designer gowns that other stores do not and it is varied. I had to make many modifications to the dress and Ashley, Gail, and Christine make my perfect dress possible.

Loved, loved, loved working with Kellie and the rest of the Princess Bride crew! They truly do make you feel like a princess.

I first found them at Seattle Wedding Expo and even though the event was closing in about 10 minutes they still let me try on dresses. I found "the one" there but went back to the store a couple weeks later to make sure. It was.

They have a great selection of dresses in all prices so I was actually a little bummed I found my dress so quickly! They were accommodating and friendly to every friend I brought in there. (I've actually heard of some salons getting upset if you bring more than 2 people with you. I had 4.)

They were constantly in contact with me, letting me every stage we were in with the dress ordering process. I only needed one fitting because the alterations were done perfectly. The dress really was a stand out. I never felt so wonderful in all my life.

I highly recommend A Princess Bride. And Kellie is really great to work with. She has wonderful taste and "gets" you. She knew my dress was "my dress" even before my friends did. Too bad you only get to shop for wedding dresses (hopefully) once in a lifetime.

I know there are a lot of mixed reviews about Princess Bride. When I first walked into the shop, I was greeted with tacky prom dresses in outrageous colors. Then my consultant showed up in fishnet stockings and black leather booty shorts. I thought "this is so not where I'll find my wedding dress!" But, she led me to the bridal section and it was filled with so many beautiful dresses! She gave us a tour of what type of dresses were where and then let us pick as many dresses as we wanted to try on. We also got to take photos in the dresses, which was fab as I was able to text it to my mom in Hawaii to get her input. The downside to the experience is that they are very difficult to get a hold of. Once my dress came, they had me make an appointment for a "finishing touch" appointment where I was supposed to look at accessories. When I got there, they had forgotten about me and had a receptionist try to help me. I had to try to zip it up myself and no one really helped me. Then when I tried to leave with the dress (after paying the balance) they wouldn't let me. They said I had to leave it for my alterations appointments that would happen many months later. But, the seamstress wasn't available to talk with me to even see what alterations would entail. So, a few weeks later, I stopped by to pick up my dress, explaining that I needed it to make my veil. They had me make an alterations appointment (that I canceled later).

My experience at A Princess Bride Couture was amazing. It was the first shop I went to, and I did shop around by trying other stores just to make sure I was going to the right place, and I was! Every other store I visited was rude and wouldn't even give me the time of day, especially when I told them my budget. But Princess Bride Couture was welcoming, warm and so super friendly! Ashley, my consultant, who was fairly new to the shop, made my experience the best ever!!!! I would take anyone there that is looking for a dress, as it simply was the best experience I have ever had shopping for any sort of attire! Ashley helped me with my accessories, but never pressured me to buy any of them from her. Let me feel comfortable to look elsewhere to find the best deal. I ended up buying my vail and the flower for my hair at Princess Bride, but all other accessories (shoes, jewelry, undergarments) I bought elsewhere. It all came together perfectly and that was because of the great service I received and the beautiful gown I got to wear on the most special day of my life! Thank you Ashley and Princess Bride Couture!!!!

Loved the wedding dresses they sell

They were respectful of my budget, helpful, and very flexible given I was living in London and only had a short time for alterations.

Stunning dresses and great to work with. I purchased my wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dress from A Princess Bride and received the highest compliments on all of them. They were so nice and accomodating - I recommend this as a first stop to find your gowns. You will love them!

Do yourself a favor and stay away! First, if you ask the owner about bad reviews, she says they are made by other shop owners.... I am not another owner, just a disgruntled bride that has had to wait 5+ months to write a review until I had calmed down enough. Bullet point highlights:
-The alterations were so poorly done, the strap of my dress broke
-I found a pin that had been left in my dress... When I stabbed myself with it leaving a blood stain right in front
-My mother ordered a dress, which three months longer than it was supposed to, and the jacket was incorrect (the owner said my mother was lying). They made a new one, which was best described by when my now husband saw it said "wow, that looks like a cheap Halloween costume"
-Owner told me my dress was silk, turns out it wasnt
-Horrible scheduling, I had to take off work for all of me alterations apps because they don't schedule around someone who works

There is more, but I think you get...

I got a BEAUTIFUL dress from the collection, Blue by Enzoani, it was gorgeous! Took a long time for the dress to come in, ordered in March received in end of June. They were really nice and dress was reasonably priced. Alterations were really over priced, so I took the dress elsewhere for alterations.

We purchased my daughters wedding dress here. BEWARE, She found the perfect dress. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, that's the only good part. Was had $400 in alterations, hemming,neckline, fitting. When they hemmed the dress, they forgot to hem the fabric underneath. When my daughter said she was stepping on something, the alteration lady told her she wasn't walking right in the dress. We took it home and found that the fabric underneath was about two inches longer that the rest of the dress. We had to take it back and it took them a couple of days to fix it. The sheer outer layer of the dress, with all the beading, was never attached to the rest of the dress, so it didn't bustle. The sheer fabric trailed the dress the entire evening at the reception. It got stepped on and ripped. We had tried saftey pins but it didn't work well. The neckline was changed to a sweeheart neckline. This was botched!! During our fitting, the alterations lady kept messing with the neckline. Well, at the wedding we found out why. The seam on the sweeheart neckline was about 1/4 inch below the top of the dress. And it wasn't evenly 1/4 across the top. All my daughters close-up pictures have this seam about a 1/4 inch down from the front of her dress. After the wedding I took the dress back for repair. I just wanted the rips fixed and the neckline fixed. I started working with Gail, but soon she was never available to help me. They repaired some to the rips to the front of the dress but when I asked the alterations lady about the rest of it, she told me I could have it fixed whenever I took it to be cleaned. (?) The neckline hadn't been touched so I asked about that. She ripped out one and one half of the bra cups she had sewn in and told be that was the problem. I reminded her that it was on her recommendation that we put these in. She just shrugged. The outer fabric was attached to the rest of the dress (so it would bustle) but they added two beads on either side of the zipper. It looks bad. The sales staff was very rude and when I left with the dress, I called the owner, Kathy, a couple of days later. I called and left messages two more times. She never responded. If you absolutely need to purchase a dress here, know they will not stand behind the dress and certainly don't get your alterations done here!

I purchased my dress off the rack at the Seattle Wedding Show. I got a great bargain on a gorgeous dress and a free veil, though the flip side of buying a dress off the rack was the cost of alterations. The sales lady was very helpful at the wedding show, but a follow up question that I emailed to the store did not get a response. I did not use the shop for alterations, as I already knew a tailor.

A Princess Bride was great to work with for my wedding dress! I found my dream dress there, AND it was 10% off. The employees were helpful, my fittings went great, and the alterations were perfect. They do only take appointments, but it is pretty easy to make one that fits your schedule.

Although I found the dress that brought me tears of joy, the ladies who work here can be a little sour and sassy. Not the best customer service as far as politeness goes, but they were very responsive and able to get my dress/accessories ordered and altered on time. If you don't mind people being moody in order to get what you want then come here otherwise shop somewhere else.

My wedding dress was perfect! I loved it! The staff were very helpful!

Okay fellow brides. I know you see the reviews and think "it's okay... those other women are just hard to please" and besides they are the only bridal salon that carries the dress of your dreams. Stop!!! Seriously...I mean it! Princess bride will turn that dress of your dreams into your biggest nightmare.

Day one...shopping: I went with my mother, sister and father dress shopping. I knew I wanted a Pronovias. The process of trying on the dresses was great and emotional. That emotion was exploited to the nth degree. I FELL IN LOVE with my dress...and was talked into getting a slip (which I gave to my cousin since I hated it), an ill fitting bustier (a size A when I am a C and gives my slim build actual back fat...more on that later), an UGLY flower for my hair, a feather for my hair, a birdcage veil, shoes and a sash (which I do love). The total I spent is DISGUSTING. I ended up purchasing twice of what I meant to spend just on accessories.

First fitting: As I am standing getting my dress altered the ower pulls one of the sales girls to the corner and tells her "Never wear that again. You look totally unprofessional." I was thinking the one being unprofessional is that owner. I fell in love with a broken necklace...she promised to fix it...telling me she sets stones. SHE HOT GLUED A CHEAP RHINESTONE TO MY WEDDING NECKLACE!

Final fitting: I am trying my dress on two weeks before the wedding and noticed a man in the shop. He started talking to me telling my dress is beautiful. I just want to be left alone. The owner of the shop introduces him as the owner of the tux shop next door and says that he could press my dress. He asks for me to take out the bustle to "see if he should press it." I informed him I would notify him should I need it and left him standing there as I meandered around the shop. It was so rude...he charges $100 on TOP of the $500 I spent getting it altered to get it pressed. I left with a very bad taste in my mouth.

As for my Pronovias....I still love her =).

I found the PERFECT dress at Princess bride. When I went to look for dresses, the consultant knew instantly what would be best for me. Unfortunately that same consultant was not there when I went back for my fitting, but we were still provided good service. They have a wonderful selection of dresses.

All I can say good about this company is that I loved my dress in the end and a lot of that may have been due to the great alterations at Fashion Fittings in Fircrest, WA. Every promise that Princess Bride Salon made was a lie and I had to fight to get my dress but the delivery was months after the promise date. I think that since they already had had my money they did not want to provide service any longer.

I found my dress at the Seattle Bridal show and knew it was the one. They did take it back to their business to clean the dress. They were pushy to buy other items and the bridesmaid dresses with them. When I went to pick up my dress they forgot I had an appointment and really did not care about helping me out since the dress was already paid for. I later found the same dress online for hundreds less.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. I repeat i would not recommend this place to anyone. I am getting married soon and I flew out to Seattle to help with a friends wedding preparations and to find idea for my own. We went into the Princess Bride and though they had some very nice dresses, the prices were a little outrageous for similar dresses i have seen in other stores. The customer service was also TERRIBLE even with the people they were helping. I was chatting with another bride that was there and when she told me how much they had quoted her for the minor alterations that's she needed, I was in complete shock. I don't see how anyone could have a good experience there. I would warn all brides to stay away from this place if you want to have a good wedding gown experience.

As far as my dress is concerned they were great. However, when I called two months after making my veil, slip, and undergarment purchase to see when they might be in. I found out they had never placed the order. If I hadn't contacted them they would never have placed it.

I bought my gown from them at a wedding show. It was marked down $500 off plus I received an additional $200 off of that price, so it was hard to pass up! I was also to receive a cruise voucher and a free veil. We were told that they didn't have the vouchers with them and they would be mailed within 2 weeks. They also didn't have the veils and we could go to the shop to pick one up. After a month, I emailed to find out where my voucher was and they had skipped over my name when they mailed them out. I did eventually receive it so no harm no foul there. But they also told me in the email that the veil had to be picked up at the show...when we were told to go to the shop. My last email to them has gone unanswered... Update: I went to the shop to see about the veil. They did give me one, the saleslady from the show must have been confused, I don't know. The voucher turned out to be from a shady vacation place, so we won't be using it.

Molly is the person who helped me. When we originally came in, we were looking for shoes. Then we started looking at veils. She asked me a lot of questions, concerning what I like, && what I do not like. Finally, we were able to narrow it down. She then informed us that they do custom veil work. She worked very hard with us to get us a good price on a custom veil, && to make sure it was going to be exactly what we wanted.

While I absolutely LOVED my dress, I was not a huge fan of the service. The first woman who worked with us was wonderful, she helped me pick out the dress, etc.... She was very focused on what I was looking for. When we came back to pick out the shoes, the woman who helped us kept telling me that she knew what she was doing and made me feel like she didn't even care that it was MY wedding, not hers. I ended up taking the dress to have it fitted elsewhere.

If you've been to more than a few bridal shops, you'll quickly appreciate how organized and CLEAN this bridal shop is. Their dresses are in amazing condition. Gayle was my wedding dress Fairy God Mother. Out of almost 30 dresses I pulled to try on, she was able to determine which one was best for my personality and body type. The first dress I tried on was the one I bought and wore on my wedding day. The follow up on details was great, and everyone there seems to have a great eye from shoes to veil.
Their alterations guru, Christie is awesome. She came in on her day off to make sure my dress was done in time and with no stress to me. Not to mention it fit amazingly; I have never had a strapless dress stay put. I never had to pull at it or adjust it and was locked in all night long. (and anyone with a DD or larger bust knows how impossible this can be).

I had a pretty good experience at this store. I do want to say though as soon as I purchased my gown and veil I felt like I did not matter any more. They made the sale and that was what was important. When my gown came in you have to make an appointment to go try it on...which I did. When I arrived they did not know where my gown was in the store. You would think they might prepare before you arrive for your appiontment. I was waiting for them to find my gown for about 10 mins. They offered to allow me to try on some other gowns if I wanted while I waited...why would I want to do that? I want MY gown! The one I already picked out and purchased!! I was kind of confused and stressed out when they said this. They did in fact find my gown and I was able to try it on without further incident. I still need to get alterations done, so I do not yet have experience with this.

The seamstress made me wait for forty-five minutes for my final fitting when I had made the appointment over a month ago.

I bought the wedding dress of my dreams from Princess Bride!!! I had mixed feelings about the experience though. Although my sales person was completely rude and unfriendly, my seamstress Wendy was great!!! She was a joy to work with and if it wasn't for her, my experience wouldn't have gone as smoothly. She did a wonderful job on my dress!

I loved my dress and I received so many compiments. It was unlike any dress that I have seen. It was absolutely the best deal on a wedding dress I had heard of because I bought it at the seattle wedding show and they thru in a free veil and a cruise ticket...so of course I scored there. What I thought was so nice was that I made a fitting appointment with them after the bridal show and the woman who helped me was so knowledgeable about how the dress was to fit and what undergarments I needed. I didn't feel pressured to buy things I didn't need or to make unnecessary alterations. I was very impressed with all of the selection at princess bride and the great professional service.

They were great. I found the dress of my dreams and their wonderful alterations lady made it fit like a glove. I've never felt so beautiful in my entire life.

Contrary to other brides' experience with this salon, I had a very LOVELY experience here.
I think what made it an awesome experience was the consultant/salesgirl who helped me. I've heard horror stories on how rude and pushy Princess Bride can be, but thankfully that did NOT happen to me.
Helen was awesome and super helpful. I didn't realize that a wedding gown takes about 6-8 months to order (without rush order) and happened to be shopping for my dress just right around the 5 month mark. Knowing that I don't really have time to shop around, Helen helped me score a sample dress during the La Sposa trunk show. I ended up getting a discount for the trunk show AND for buying a sample dress.
That said, I ended up doing my alterations elsewhere as I didn't want to spend a lot for it and also, I didn't want to risk ruining my experience with them. It seems that when it comes to alterations, most brides have had a horrible experience with them.
Overall, I would recommend The Princess Bride with caution. The place undoubtly has quite a selection of gorgeous gowns (especially if you're a fan of the Pronovias brand (Pronovias, La Sposa, Manuel Motta, etc)). As far as customer service goes, it seems like a hit and miss sometimes depending on who you get as a consultant/salesgirl.

I would not recomend Princess Bride to anyone. I felt very pressured from the moment I walked into this place. I ended up getting caught up in the moment and pressured into ordering my dress because I was told if I waited it would not arrive on time. In the end my dress took longer then they said it would and the customer service was horrible. I felt that unless you were spending several thousand dollars on a dress they did not have time for you after you placed your order. I was never called when they said that they would and when I went to pick up my dress they wanted me to take it without ever trying it on because they had only scheduled me an appointment to pick up my dress, not to try it on. In the end they said that I could try it on, but that they did not have tiem to help me so I would have to have the person I brought with help me. Overall a bad experiance.

They have wonderful dresses. I actually gained my weight before the wedding because I was pregnant,
but they fixed perfectly. The material of the dress was beautiful and you can get more than what you paid for.

The Princess Bride Boutique Helped me find my dream dress, they also have a seemstress there to do alterations. They have trunk shows with cotour wedding designers and usually offer somewhat of a discount when you buy your dress at the trunk show's (how I got a great price on my Maggie Sottero gown) The Sales Women can be a little rude at times though.

The gal who helped me Vanessa was great and the person who did the alterations was wonderful. However the owners were quite rude with my attendants..

I had to order a bridemaids dress from here. The sales lady was beyond rude. Maybe they treat the brides better, but as a bridesmaid, I was not impressed. She was very condescending and made me feel really awkward during the fitting. I was 5 months pregnant (barely showing) and she had me order a dress 4 sizes too BIG, just in case (wedding was 3 months after my due date). I figured she was the professional, so I went with it, and the dress was just ridiculously oversized when it finally arrived - almost 4 months later. It cost me almost half of what the dress was worth in alterations, and my dress looked crappy because all the proportions were off. Dresses, shoes and accessories seemed over priced to me, although they did have some unique pieces. Not somewhere I'd go back to for myself, or recommend to a friend.

We have worked with Princess Bride numerous times and know they are the top bridal shop in the area. With a focus on customer service and a very in depth knowledge of their collections, they will make your gown shopping experience the best you can imagine!

love this store, their dresses and the ladies that work there are awesome!!!!

A Princess Bride is a wonderful salon to go to for your dress. All of my brides that have purchased their dress there have been thrilled and have told me that the service and selection is fantastic!
