Disregard any/all negative reviews. Yes, some of the dresses are not in mint condition. But that is easily fixed by a handy friend or a tailor, and lets face it-youre probably going to have to get the dress tailored anyway. Yes its a small store and theres a lot of stuff packed into it. So what? The atmosphere/setting is very comparable to a thrift store, which is fine.... because this stuff is almost all used. Dont go here expecting a bridal boutique atmosphere. Yes, some of the stuff might be priced a bit high, but for me this place was fantastic for giving me ideas of what to do, and some of the supplies to do it. I personally wouldnt want to buy a pre-made centerpiece, but for those who dont have a crafty maid of honor like I do its great that the option is there. The store was busy when I went but I had a STELLAR experience with the staff, they all greeted me politely and helped me pick out some fabulous gowns.I wasnt expecting this, but I definitely got the "Say Yes to the Dress" experience. It was amazing. I will recommend this store to anyone I know, forever. Even if youre not getting married, its a great place to go!!!

I went to Bride To Be Consignment with my friend who was trying on wedding dresses and I had a great experience. We had previously went Davids Bridal and had a horrible experience; they made us wait a half hour past our appointment before we were helped, no one in the group had anywhere to sit, the girl helping my friend was about 16 and had no idea what she was doing and tried to pressure my friend into buying a dress for 100% down by saying "it is only on sale today" when in fact it wasnt. Bride To Be Consignment helped us right when we walked in the door, we all had a chair to sit in and plenty of room, the employees were knowledgeable and helpful and they offer 50% down and lay away to purchase your dress and there was a HUGE selection which was all organized by size. I would definitely recommend going to Bride To Be Consignment.

My little sister had had such horrible experiences at other stores to the point she dreaded looking for a dress. Because her wedding was more than a year out they totally blew her off saying "you dont need to be worrying about a dress yet". My sister left those stores feeling so discouraged. We started looking through dresses here, not even thinking about her trying any on, when an employee walked up and asked if she could start a fitting room for her. From that moment on I saw a complete transformation in my sister. She was so excited!! I can not thank this store and employees enough for making her feel like a VIP from the moment she walked in the door!!! She found the dress of her dreams and within her price range. We will be recommending this place to every woman planning a wedding. Thank you so much!!!

When we walked it we thought that we would be able to find a wedding dress for the bride and at least one of the bridesmaid dresses. Unfortunately no one greeted us or helped us find where we needed to look for her size. The racks were so packed it was impossible to look at dresses. When the bride tried on dresses many of them were ripped. It says the dresses are gently used and reusable, but some of the tears are large and u reparable. We left disappointed to go to Davids bridal and we all found dresses there. We even say 2 other brides from this place there. If quality was a concern it would be better. There are a lot awesome stuff for decorating, but it was too cramped. We almost broke a few things because they were on the ground and the aisles were very narrow.

I stopped in while in the early stages of planning for my wedding (at the time, I was 9 months out from the date) to get some ideas and check out pricing. There is a lot of variety in colors and products available, many unique items since everything is from previous weddings. The initial prices on most items is a little high for being used in my opinion, but if youre able to wait, there is a second price on everything that is much lower after a certain date. Because its all resale/consignment, limited quantities may be available, but they can also notify you if certain items youre looking for come in. They have a large variety of wedding-related products (dresses, accessories, centerpiece/aisle deco, candles, etc.)

I was hesitant as I was new to the wedding dress scene. My friend googled this place and it was AMAZING. Now my friends, you have to be of the right mindset to shop here, do you have a plan of what you want, material, price or color? If you answered no then maybe Google dress styles before hand. As a thrifty person like me you will love it here. It is well organized however like anyone else you need to have game plan. I love the range of prices and the staff is knowledge. If you are expecting Say Yes to the Dress you will have to pull your own dresses if it is busy so bring a group. However, the quality of service is great. This was my second place in The Twin Citites to try on and the range of sizes was great.

When the staff knows you by name, does that mean youve been there a few times? I have found so many treasures at this store - including my wedding gown! The day I found it, I tried it on, left for another appointment, and had to come back to visit it again. Even though I was there until close, the girls were so helpful and patient that I didnt even know I had kept them! I will say to watch their coupons as they are usually only good on full price merchandise, but I love the punch card! I will say though, I am a "hunter" - always one to dig through the racks for a good deal. If this is not you, send the friend who is as she will find an amazing deal for you!

This place is amazing. I will be shopping here for years after my wedding for all kinds of things. Every time you go in its full of completely different stuff. Tons of gorgeous dresses in perfect condition. I found a dress and very stupidly did not pick it up. It was gone the next day, but they were able to tell me the model number, so I was able to order it elsewhere because I liked it so much! I purchased everything from jewelry, to place cards, stationary, corset, vases, decorations, etc. etc. I bought two bridesmaids dresses to wear for Christmas parties last winter. They have anything and everything. Go, go, go. Even if youre not getting married.

Do not sell your items to them!! They do not price your items fairly and will sell things before you even agree on whether or not you want to sell for that price. They also are not careful with their merchandise and end up damaging a lot of the items. The place itself is a complete mess. Their staff is rude and do not even greet you when you walk in. The owner is also very lazy and rude to customers. When I asked her if she could have her staff explain the consignment contract better to customers she told me that she doesnt have time to train in her staff on issues like this. Obviously customer service doesnt me anything to her.
