I had the most amazing experience here! I worked with Cruz--a wonderful bridal consultant who found my DREAM dress for me! I was visiting Florida from CT and went in here with my aunt just to try on a few dresses. I was looking for a specific designer and they carried many styles. We tried on a few dresses...in a few different styles and I wasnt overly excited about any of them. Before I changed, Cruz pulled one more dress that I would have never picked myself. I tried it on, just for the fun of it and I fell IN LOVE. I finally had my first "bride" moment when I put the dress on. We came back later that day with my mom and the minute she saw it, she also knew it was the one! We made an appointment for the next day (Saturday---they get very busy!) and my dress was there and ready for another viewing! She took all of my measurements and placed the order for my dress very quickly, which was perfect because we had to fly home that afternoon--we had a very small amount of time to be at the shop. All of the consultants were very friendly, engaging and in no way did they make you feel like you HAD to buy a dress. It was an absolutely wonderful experience--by far the best I have had dress shopping. I did not expect to go dress shopping while on vacation, let alone purchase one! I am SO glad we went in here! The shop is very clean and the dresses are all presented well. If we didnt live 1,200 miles away--I would have all of my bridesmaids in here to find their dresses! Thank you to Cruz and the entire staff--I am one happy bride!

Was very impressed by my first 2 experiences at this boutique. Stephanie helped me all times and was very sweet, so the remainder of this review is not based off her customer service. Its based off the owners response...When it came time to pick up dress they fell short. I was told on the phone that my dress was in and to come in within the next couple weeks to pick up. Out of courtesy I called back and asked specifically if I needed to make an appointment to try on the dress so i could get a price quote before it was time for the real fitting. I did this to avoid a wait as I do not have much free time with working 50 hours a week. After putting on the dress and thinking the seamstress would be coming out to quickly look at the dress to give me a quote, I found out that I should have never been told I did not need an appointment. They said it would be another 30 minutes. The owner never appolagized she just questioned who told me that. She did not seem to want to accommodate me when I told her what happened. And was okay with me telling her I will go some where else to get fitted. It probably would have taken them 5 minutes to give me a quote. But its okay because I paid her in cash for my dress and they got their money. Very disappointing.

Something Blue is absolutely wonderful! I am 21 and got engaged about 2 months ago and started searching for bridal stores close to where I live and stumbled across their website. After reading all of the positive reviews about their boutique I figured that I would give them a try, and I am so glad I did! My consultant ( I didnt catch her name but her initials are L.C., so ask for her!) was so helpful and the entire store had a great selection of gorgeous and affordable wedding gowns! L.C. not only helped me find the perfect dress for my special day, but she also found a veil that matched the dress perfectly! I would recommend Something Blue to any of my friends and I plan on going back there to outfit the entire wedding party as well!

I am getting married 10/5/13 and visited the site 1/26/13 for my dress. This is the best boutique you will ever need to visit. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and fun! They truly make you feel like you are a princess! The boutique is decorated beautifully. The selection of dresses is amazing for the size of the boutique. They have all the styles of the season, plus some oldies but goodies. Accessories, shoes, tux rentals, you name it, Something Blue does it. Since my experience, Ive recommended 3 people to this shop for their dress and bridal party attire, and they have been more than pleased. Bottom line- dont waste your time going anywhere else.

I went to Something Blue a few months ago and had just a wonderful experience. Everyone there was genuinely kind and warm hearted. They werent pressuring you to buy like most bridal stores do. They understand that this is a big decision and want you to be 110% happy with the dress you pick. Unfortunately, I didnt purchase my dress from there only because I ended up getting my dress from a designer they didnt carry, BUT I plan on going there for all my alterations. Theyre prices on everything are great and the service is wonderful!!

I had an awesome experience with Something Blue Bridal! I bought my gown, veil, and dress accessories there so I have talked to a little bit of everyone there. Everyone is very nice that Ive talked to over the phone and in the store. I have found them to be very accommodating and helpful during my experience as a Bride. Lorie was my first positive experience there, as she helped me find my wedding gown and she is super nice! The shop owner Kristy is also wonderful and accommodating. Thank you all for all your help <33

FABULOUS!! I highly suggest not using "big box stores." Something Blue offers an intimate experience, and you never feel rushed or pressured like you do at "big box stores." They are enthusiastic and you can tell that all the employees love what they do. They have a great selection of dresses and a truly reasonable price! Ive been with 2 brides for their dresses, and have found my own dress! Certainly a great place to support a local business and have a great time while doing it! :)

HUGE thank you to Stephanie at Something Blue for helping me last Saturday! She gave great advice and insight without being pushy or overbearing. She was very knowledgeable about the dresses. I showed her a few pictures, and she immediately knew which section to take me to. She even recommended a few I hadnt seen, and they were all lovely. After trying on a few, I found the one, and I couldnt be happier with my decision. Thanks for a great experience! Stephanie is the best!

What a wonderful experience. I went here first and Im glad I did because Something Blue really sets the standard of what a bridal boutique should be. My friend and I got really friendly service from Trillian. She was absolutely wonderful and helpful. And the best part is I didnt even purchase a dress yet and I already recieved a handwritten thank you note from Trillian herself thanking me for visiting. Class A service and beautiful dresses. I love this shop.
