The Wedding Shoppe

The Wedding Shoppe was a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and accomodating. This shoppe looks small but definitely give all the dresses a good look because they have a lot of great dresses to choose from and the seamstress was willing to come right out and talk to me about my dress before I even bought it! I also bought my jewelry at this store and every appointment we had was the same experience. You also will get to browse the dresses yourself and pull anything off the rack that you want to try on. I definitely recommend this place!!

I can't say enough about The Wedding Shoppe in Berkley! I found my beautiful dress there. And it was not sold anywhere else. Plus, it was so affordable for the superior quality. The seamstress/tailor/miracle worker is so good at what she does, plus she is so patient! I had 4 dress fittings to get my dress to fit like a glove, and she was a pleasure to work with every time. The sales staff made my search for the dress, my "yes" to the dress, and the fitting of the dress such a wonderful experience. Thank you!!

I was overwhelmed with my experience at The Wedding Shoppe. I purchased my dress, veil, jewelry and garter here. I was nervous about shopping to begin with. All the women made me feel so comfortable and they had sooo many dresses that I was able to try on. I purchased my dress on the first visit there, and I felt good!! I ended up having second thoughts (as so many brides do) when I got home and returned the following day. Michelle, the most amazing seamstress, met with me on a whim and we came up with a plan that addressed my concerns. I will not go into all the details of the transformation on my dress, but I was blown away when it was done. I truly can not speak highly enough of Michelle. She is so much more then a seamstress. I am genuinely grateful that I was able to work with this business,

The Wedding Shoppe has set the bar high on customer service. From the moment I arrived for my appointment I was treated as a special client. I found the dress of my dreams and because I purchased it he same day I received a 10 percent discount. When my dress came in I had my first fitting and was so happy with Michelle the seamstress. She did an amazing job on my dress! She added straps to my strapless dress and you can't even tell it wasn't made that way! I was overjoyed with dress and the The Wedding Shoppe staff.

I tried on at least 60 dresses at 6 different dress shops including david's bridal. The dress I found at The Wedding Shoppe was without a doubt the most perfect and beautiful dress I tried on. I loved it and wouldn't have changed a thing about it. I also had many negative experiences with dress shopping due to so many shops either being rude, having poor service or no service at all or being snooty. The wedding shoppe gave the best service I found. They were the least pushy and the most accommodating. The dress did cost much more than I originally intended to pay, but I started out thinking I was only going to spend 350 dollars for my ideal dress. That was not going to happen. When I finally realized how much I was going to have to spend to keep it on the low side, I figured I better get one heck of a dress for the price. The dress I chose had amazing architecture and was different from every angle. Yet, it still had an airy, natural, timeless and elegant feeling. I decided to keep my alteration in house after checking pricing on reputable seamstresses. I spent $350 on alterations including having it taken in 3 times along the bust and side, the hem, built-in push-up cups, a lowered back panel behind the corset and an 8 point side french-american bustle. Their selection is exclusive and that makes the dress you choose more unique. However, when you have your dress ordered, do not be surprised when the size is large than what you are used to. the sizing is very different there. I was disappointing because at my reception, my bustle clasp ripped off of the side causing me to have to hold it up all night. I felt for the money I paid, it should have heald together better than that. The rest of the dress was very sturdy though and all of the seams and corset loops stayed in tact like troopers considered how tight I had it.

The Wedding Shoppe was so amazing that I wouldn't have enough space to say how great it was. My dress was gorgeous and exactly what I always wanted, I felt like a princess that day and it was all because of the wedding shoppe. Their dresses are so one of a kind and so special that everything in the shop feels magical. Do not go anywhere else for a dress, go here!!

Thank you!

Katie (July 14, 2012 wedding)

I had the ballina wedding...

I love my dress.
These ladies went above and beyond dealing with my anxiety. I lost 40 pounds after I bought my dress and they walked me through everything, repaired my hair pins, and helped us with my veil.

This was the first place I went to when I started my wedding dress search. I found my dress that day but didn't commit right away. Every time I went back they were great. When my dress come in I decided to have it altered there as well. It was a size 10 and by the time the wedding was here I was a 4. It fit perfectly, every alterations appointment was great. I had so many comments on the dress. The bustle was my favorite part of the dress, it looked amazing.

I purchased my wedding dress, necklace, and head piece from the Wedding Shoppe. I had a wonderful experience. The dresses they offered were gorgeous. It was hard to choose because they were all so beautiful. I got a little nervous as my wedding date approached because I ordered by dress in early May and it did not come in until late November (my wedding was in late December). However, when the dress did finally arrive it fit like a glove which was surprising because I am really petite. I only needed the dress hemmed and a bustle put in, but the seamstress was able to work quickly and had my dress ready within a week. The Wedding Shoppe also made a special arrangement for me to come in right before they closed on a Saturday for my first dress fitting so that my mom could be there (they usually don't do fittings on Saturdays). The alterations seemed pricey, but my dress fit fantastic, looked great, and was really comfortable. I would definitely recommend The Wedding Shoppe.

I loved my dress, and I loved the ladies at The Wedding Shoppe. I broke my foot three weeks before my wedding day, and Michelle was more than able to accommodate my ugly boot/cast. Michelle created a one-of-a-kind side bustle for me. It was beautiful. Alterations were a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. I would spend the money all over again. My mother purchased jewelry for my wedding there, and she got many complements on her earrings.

I can't say enough wonderful things about The Wedding Shoppe. From the moment my mom and I walked in the door we felt so comfortable and I had an amazing time trying on their unique selection of dresses. Living out of town, they made it very easy for me to come in on the weekends and get my alterations done in just 2 fittings. Everything came in on time, and the end result was amazing. I couldn't be happier!

I got my wedding dress from the wedding shoppe and it was beautiful! Everyone loved my dress, it fit so well and the alterations were perfect. They have a great selection of gowns.

I purchased my wedding gown, veil, and hair comb from the wedding shoppe and couldn't have been happier with the service. The appointments are personal and they really help you find exactly what you're looking for. It was nice to have a place where every dress in the store was in my price range (under $2000). I also had my alternations completed in the store and they turned out perfectly. Michelle was able to fit the dress as if it'd been made for me and create a beautiful bustle. Love love!

I loved this place! I bought a belt to add to my dress and that made my dress PERFECT! They were so friendly~ I also bought a few tank tops for myself to wear to my Bachelorette party and the day we got married!

The wedding shoppe has incredible customer service. They fit my mom, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law in last January when I was just casually looking for a wedding dress. I had looked around the Royal Oak/Birmingham area and nothing. Just then, when I was starting to get worried, they found the perfect dress for me! It was so easy and comfortable in there! The staff is amazing and the woman who did the alterations was a therapist/friend/great seamstress all in one. She did such an amazing job making sure everything fit well and I was comfortable. I also got my groom some cute boxers there and they had a few other cute wedding accessories. I don't have one complaint! Love them!

I tried on 48 dresses and was about to give up, until I went here. They agreed to stay open after their standard hours so I could look at their dresses. and what do you know?! I found the dress!

They were wonderful to work with, have a great spunky fun loving happy compliment giving way about them that really makes you feel like a bride!

Their dresses are one of a kind. Their alterations are wondeful. I had 4 fittings at no extra charge. They did mess up my last fitting appointment, so I had to wait for an hour for the seamstress. Besides that, everything was wondeful!

WOW! These people know what they are doing! My dress was one of a kind and was absolutely stunning the day of my wedding. All of the dresses they carried were so different than what I had seen in other salons. I went in several times for accessories and had a unique hairpiece custom made which truly complemented the look I was going for. I ended up with my veil and jewelry for great prices too! Actually, I could't believe how inexpensive everything was and I felt like I looked like I had spent 10x more...All of the ladies that helped me were super nice to work with. I went in without an appointment and tried on a few dresses on my way to another salon. I found a dress I liked and when I asked to make an appointment for later that day to show everyone I was meeting at the next salon, the girl gave me a look like they were booked and before she could speak, the owner said they absolutely could fit me in. I'm so glad she did because I bought the dress I had in mind that day. All the way through I received excellent service especially with their seamstress - she was AMAZING! Thank you so much ladies for making me feel like every bride should on their wedding day!

My dress was absolutely beautiful and the service I received at the Shoppe was incredible. The seamstress, Michele, made me look phenomenal and all the gals were always attentive and had me laughing.. I couldn't say enough great things about this place!

The Wedding Shoppe was such a great company to work with. They know their inventory and was able to pull out dresses that satisfy both me and my mom. They kept in contact when the manufacture was late mailing the dresses. I chose my bridesmaid's dresses through them. Wonderful idea because their dresses matched mine in both design, and type of materials. I highly recommend brides in the Detroit area to give the Wedding Shoppe a try. It was not very expense but I looked like I had on a $5,000 dress!

This was the second bridal gown place I went to, the first was a low quality place and I'm so glad I didn't get anything from there! I had it in my mind that I wasn't going to spend a lot on a dress, but when I went to the Wedding Shoppe I realized the difference in quality was well worth the money. While they don't have a huge selection of dresses compared to some stores, they are unique and the service is great. I only needed minimal alterations but the level of attention from Michele was wonderful. Plus ... I got the best bracelet ever there!!!

The wedding Shoppe was a wonderful wedding boutique - it is cozy and romantic and they are very accommodating! When compared to a place like David's Bridal - which to me is chaotic and crazy and rushed, the Wedding Shoppe has a very relaxed atmosphere - which is much needed while planning your wedding! its just a nice place to be and the ladies make you feel very welcome.

I visited many wedding shop's when shopping for my dress and I knew the Wedding Shoppe was going to be "the one" after my first visit. I highly recommend them on their quality of work, prices and service.

A good example of their willingness and talent for dealing with crazy brides - is that when I ordered my dress - they recommended a size that was much bigger than I anticipated because I have a fuller bust. Well, a few days later I had a melt down- I was convinced that they were wrong about the dress size SO, I called the store, they put me on the line with the seamstress. She explained very calmly and in great detail why I needed a larger size. This call took 20 minutes - which I'm sure put her way behind schedule for the day - all so that I had peace of mind on my dress. To me, that is extraordinary service.

The Wedding Shoppe has a gorgeous selection of gowns that were finally something different from all of the other bridal salons. The gown I chose was so gorgeous and unique. The customer service from each and every person I worked with could not be beat! They were sweet and helpful and almost all of them even knew me by name after my first visit. :)

I absolutely loved my experience at The Wedding Shoppe. I recommend them to any future bride. They have a unique selection and had dresses that were not the typical ones you see in other bridal shops. I had been shopping and The Wedding Shoppe was my last stop. I was nervous going into the store because they did not have their wedding dresses or designers online. I thought it was going to be super expensive but I was wrong. It fit right into my budget.
I was greeted so warmly and they just picked out dresses for me. Every single one looked good on me (best I ever felt in a wedding dress because I'm curvy) but I found the one.
Alterations was great and Michelle even helped alter my mom's dress for the wedding. They helped pick out jewelry for me, which was a bit pricey but I really loved the store and what they picked out for me that it was all worth it.
After my wedding I had to take my dress in to get preserved. They remembered me! It had been 6 or 7 months before I took it in and I just was taken back that they remembered me. The company they use is awesome and quick, I couldn't believe how fast they were!
Awesome place for wedding dresses, jewelry, accessories, shoes....it was a great experience! I highly recommend them!

I purchased my dress from a different location however The Wedding Shoppe did some PHENOMENAL alterations to it as well as created a rhinestone belt which went all the way around the dress sitting just below the bust. It was originally a bracelet which they recreated into a belt. It was PERFECT and exactly what I was looking for! I made several changes of my own to the dress and the alterations were so amazingly executed I absolutely LOVED my dress and have the expertise of the wedding shoppe to thank for that. They are friendly, professional and welcoming.

I love these ladies. They made a bad experience dress shopping at David's Bridal into an incredible experience when I was in their shop getting it altered. Fifi, not her real name, but her nickname, the alternations lady, is amazing. She did such a good job on my fit. The ladies are so nice, so friendly, so accomodating. My bridesmaids and I were in such a rush for the rehersal dinner that we had to pick up our dresses and rush there, they even let us change in their rooms because we were still in street clothes from running around all day. They tell you what looks good, not what you want to hear which is a pleasant surprise. Plus, they really take the time to teach the people that are helping you how to bustle and do all that good stuff.

Great shop, amazing people, highly recommended.

Michelle did a great job altering my dress. She listened to what I wanted and made the experience wonderful!

I loved working with the wedding shoppe. everyone was so sweet. they took care of my dress until the day. the alterations were great, couldnt be happier. amazing selection of accessories. i purchased my hair pin, veil, and some cute "taken" boxers for my groom :) i would recommend the wedding shoppe to everyone!

I found the Wedding Shoppe after buying my dress elsewhere and having a horrible experience (Moni's Bridal -don't go there). I went in someone gunshy, but ended up a very happy bride. The owner Michelle, and the seamstress Michelle could not have been more pleasant to work with. My dress was altered perfectly, the fittings were flawless and Michelle (seamstress) is just a delight to work with. I received endless compliments on the fit and style of the dress and could not have been happier with everyone at the Wedding Shoppe. Would recommend them to anyone out there looking for someone to trust with your special dress!

It was a pleasure, thank you for making look so great!

The ring my husband got for me was from The Wedding Shoppe, and it was a complete surprise. I didn't know he ordered it, but he told me afterwards. From the ring itself, I would have to say that it is a very beautiful and classy ring, looks very high quality.

I was so happy that I had an experience with The Wedding Shoppe.The boutique was specious and carry all kinds of gorgeous pieces. And I loved atmosphere in it - very relaxing and stuff is very helpful.

Everything went so perfect!! All the hard work paid off.. so thank you with helping, it all turn out so great! From start to finish, the service was superb!! Everything Michele at The Wedding Shoppe said she could do and would do was exactly what was received, plus more! If you're looking for stress free wedding dress alteration service.. you will get stress-free :)

Thank you Michele, you were awesome to work with - very nice and just so easy to talk to!! You were definitely professional and responsive. Thanks for making sure my dress was completed with more than enough time for the wedding in CA.

I would absolutely recommend The Wedding Shoppe to anyone.

Thanks a million to help make our special night even more special.

Take care,
Danielle and Casey Roche
(Traveled from MI to Walnut Creek, CA for our wedding)

I was referred to Michelle by another bride, and am so glad I found her!! At my first meeting with her, she assured me she could handle everything I needed done with my dress as I had lost a bit of weight and it needed to be brought in in several different areas. She really listened to me at any fitting and made sure that I was 100% comfortable in my dress. We had like 3 or 4 fittings (that last of which was the day before I left Detroit for the wedding), to make sure the dress fit me to a "T." It was a great fit and I am so impressed with her work!!

While at The Wedding Shoppe for my first fitting, I discovered that they make custom jewelry at really good prices. They already had a pretty good selection, so I was able to pick up a couple pieces and mix and match what I liked from them to create pieces that were all my own. I had them make a necklace, earrings, and bracelet for me - all for less than my jewelry budget! If you can't find what you are looking for, I would definitely suggest going there to see if they can make it for you!

I purchased some of our bridal party gift items from here. They all enjoyed their gifts.

Most of the salespeople are very friendly and helpful. The dresses are a bit expensive as are the alterations, however michelle (the seamstress) is AMAZING!!! she made my dress look so incredible despite the large amount of weight I lost between purchasing my gown and my wedding day. I would recommend the wedding shoppe and highly recommend michelle to anyone!!

The store is good since you can find most of the accessories for a bride. I bought my shoes and also a pair of earrings from this store. The earrings were fine but they were a bit over priced. The shoes I did not wear them since they were extremely uncomfortable, but I could not even exchange them since their return and exchange policy is not really flexible. One of the good thing about this store is that they have a large collection of wedding jewelry.

I would highly recommend this store. Did not know this place existed until after I got my dress, but I bought my shoes, headpiece and jewelry there. Some of their items may be a bit more pricey, but they have some great stuff.

The necklace and earrings that were made for me there were beautiful. The price was in line with what others charge and the staff was extremely helpful.

this was a great place to buy my wifes jewlery at! she loved it and was pretty cheap!

Love this place! They were great... and have the prettiest one of a kind stuff..all hand made! Just watch there parking! The place next door does NOT hesitate to have your car towed!

Although I was happy with the custom jewelry purchase I made with this vendor, I was completely disappointed with seamstress for dress alterations. I paid over $500 for alterations and they were not completed. I didn't know this till we were leaving the church ceremony because the dress wasn't ready when promised at 5pm the day before the wedding. I had two bridesmaids go back and pick it up for me because I had to continue with other pickups for that day. The bridesmaids had to wait another hour for the dress when they arrived at 8pm. When I had the dress on, it looked ok but then I felt poking at my ankles - the hem line was straight pinned and not sewn and the dress kept falling down the whole day. I hate looking at photos of me in my dress that day. My chest kept trying to come out and they are B's so that's pretty bad. I was self-conscious the whole day.

Alterations: I was worried about my dress (purchased @ David's Bridal) because every bride I had seen with it had these wrinkles in the bodice (yay David's Bridal.). When I took it to Michelle she immediately noticed it and pretty much remade the bodice to get rid of the wrinkles. She was really friendly and a lot of fun, and my dress fit PERFECTLY! I never reached down to hike it up and it stayed in place the whole night. I also really worked my bustle while dancing and it never fell out or even moved. She was definitely worth the money!!! She also has a great personality and really made the fittings fun- another one of my favorite vendors.

Shoes, Invitations, other stuff: Absolutely everything I did and ordered through them came on time and in perfect condition. The ladies are really friendly and helpful there- I'm depressed that my wedding is over because I no longer have a reason to pop in there!

Perfect place for veils and accessories and pretty reasonable. I got my veil and earrings there and loved them both. Super friendly staff as well.

I used the wedding shoppe for thw following services:

1. Alterations A: Michelle is a miracle worker. I was nervous about turning my satin designer dress over to her, but she made it fit me like a glove. She is so great at what she does. She is patient, listens well to suggestions, and works with you to make sure that you are 100% thrilled with the results, no matter how many fittings it takes.

2. Veil: The women there were not very helpful in helping me choose a veil, and in the end, I wasn't sure I made the right choice. The only nice part was that I was able to try on veils with my dress while I was having my alterations...pretty convenient. In the end I was happy with the quality of the veil, but it did cost me an arm and a leg. I think i could have done better somewhere else.

3. Shoe dying: I ordered my dyables online and then had the wedding shoppe color them. My dress was a rum pink color, so I was really nervous about the shoes matching just right. They were right on with the color and they turned out perfect. Pricing was reasonable, too.

4. Dress pressing and stuffing A: Expensive but worth every penny. They kept my dress safe and sound until the day before my wedding, and when I picked it up it was perfect and ready to wear.

A woman named Michelle at the wedding shoppe altered my dress (and my sister’s at her wedding) and she was GREAT! You can tell within the first 5 minutes that she really knows what she’s doing, and she always knew what would look best. Plus, she did all of the alterations quickly so I never had to worry if she would get it done In time. My bustle stayed up the whole night, and I got soooo many compliments on how pretty it looked (she did the French bustle on my dress).

The alterations are a little bit more expensive there, but it was definitely worth it to know that you’re not going to have ANY problems on your wedding day. Michelle was such a fun person to be around too, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable!

They special ordered my tiara for me. Best price around, extremely friendly, and awesome shop! I loved all of their accessories from purses to slippers, wedding shoes, outfits, cake knives... I had shopped for cake knives for a long time and went through tons and tons of web pages to find exactly what I wanted. When I went to pick up my tiara, never having been there before, they had my cake knife there. I'm very picky and I found more than what I was looking for there. I have champagne taste and they had everything to offer for it with a fair price tag attached to it. You must go there. They are the king of wedding accessories from ring bearer pillows, unity candles, flower girl items, garters, wedding panties... "The Mrs." outfits, which I loved....

Great favors and ideas!

This place is AWFUL! DO NOT GO THERE!!!! I placed an order for a custom unity candle. It was to be done in 6-8 weeks. It took 18 weeks! That was unacceptable. They wouldn't speak to me when I called to check on the status of the order. Thankfully my husband was able to get ahold of them and they were totally different to him than they were to me. They have awful customer service! After I finally got the candle, many crystals were missing and they gave me a hard time about fixing it. Again, after several calls from m husband they said they would fix it but did it wrong. I had to take it apart and redo it myself.

THEY ARE AWFUL!!!!

I found my shoes and my dress alteration done here. They have a great selection of shoes and the can dyw them any color you wnat, and after the wedding they dyed the shoes balck for be so I could use them again. The alterations lady was super nice and she did an amazing job, my dress was perfect! It was a really good experience, people in there are super nice, friendly and they really want to help you make your day better!!
It was fantastic!!!

The invitations had rows of pretty patterns that created a bold, textured design on my wedding stationery. They were delivered on time and the price was fairly reasonable. I would suggest them to someone else.

Upon arriving in The Wedding Shoppe my mom and I knew this was the place to find my gown. The shoppe is so cozy and beautifully decorated it felt like we were meant to shop there. The Bridal Consultants were the best we had experienced and treated me like I was their favorite Bride. The Bridal Gown selection was and continues to be the best selection in Metro Detroit, so much so, that my sister and my cousins have purchased their wedding gowns from The Wedding Shoppe too. I will continue to recommend them to my friends and family.

Michelle and her team will do everything they can to ensure you look your best on your wedding day. Their exclusive designs and knowledgeable staff will make selecting your gown and exciting and happy experience.

We are always happy to refer brides to The Wedding Shoppe! They have an OUTSTANDING customer service record; just ask one their many happy brides. They are attentive listeners who understand the significance of shopping for the most important dress you'll ever own. -Mike Staff Productions

The Wedding Shoppe is a great place for gorgeous gowns, accessories, alterations and more. Michelle, the owner and her team our great. They give you the bride a wonderful experience! Tell them that You're The Bride sent you!
