I will not be able to say enough good about Maggi Bridal Asheville! They exceeded every expectation I had for this much awaited experience of bridal dress shopping! My engagement was very short (less than 3 months), so I knew very well I would be limited to buying off the rack and getting it tailored to fit. After visiting 7 stores in the Greenville-Spartanburg area, I decided to travel to Asheville on a Saturday, googling wedding dress shops. First stop, fail (no appointments available). Second stop, fail (just like all the other dresses Id seen). Third stop, Maggi Bridal. They originally didnt have an appointment available when I called around noon, but then Heather called back within 30 min and said they had a cancellation. You walk in Maggi Bridal and everything about it just brought a smile to my face (the smell, the ambiance, the intimacy of the boutique, the hospitality, etc). When I walked into the room with the dresses, I just knew! I wanted every dress I saw:) They were exactly what Id been looking for...bohemian/vintage...great for outdoor farm wedding! Heather showed me the dresses she would be able to order to size (yes! they were able to order to size with less than 3 month window). I couldnt believe it, there were 3 that I loved and I just couldnt decide. I never thought this would be my problem. The one I ended up choosing, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE. I cant say enough about Heather. She was so kind, supportive, helpful, diligent and determined to help me find a dress I loved in my price range and size! It took my dress less than a week to come in! As if this wasnt enough, Amy (the owner) went above and beyond in helping me find a seamstress in the Greenville/Spartanburg area. She called several different seamstresses (asked them questions about their business, style, experience, etc) and then sent me a list of the top 3 she recommended. The seamstress (A Better Fit, Spartanburg) did an incredible job with the minimal alterations needed. Oh, if I had only come to Maggi Bridal on Day 1 of my wedding dress shopping experience:) Dont waste your time going anywhere else! Start here. If your experience is like mine, you will NOT be disappointed! Thanks so much Heather and Amy! Blessings to you:)

My experience with Maggi Bridal, Asheville, was very disappointing. First, I was called 40 minutes before my appointment to let me know that another bride has just shown up, and that my appointment would be pushed back 45 minutes. After asking my family, who traveled out of town to be there, to kill some time, we arrived at the shop. We walked in about 10 minutes early (which was actually way past my appointment time), and were kicked outside to wait in the 85 degree weather, minutes after it had stopped raining. I honestly think they would have kicked us out, even in the rain. The shop is located in a small apartment. DO NOT be misled by the pictures. They are of the Raleigh location. There is nothing online to tell you that the entire website is advertising for the raleigh store, and that the Asheville store is nothing like it. Anyway, the other bride left, and we walked inside. The consultant then began to ask all the EXACT same questions that I had spent 15-20 minutes filling out online before I was even allowed to have an appointment. I was beyond frustrated at this point, but I gave it a shot. After seeing they had no waiting area, I shouldnt have been surprised to see that there was a selection of about 30 dresses, all of which looked very similar. The consultant asked me if was confortable getting undressed in front of her. Considering she had not given me any reason to feel comfortable, I answered that I did not. However, she said that she would turn around, but would still help me in the dresses. Multiple times, she turned to look right at me as she helped me in the dress, blatantly ignoring the privacy I had requested. I tried on a few, and left the appointment 20 minutes after arriving.

I will confess, I was a complicated bride. I went in to the bridal shop looking for a dress that I needed within a little less than a month and a half. I also needed to be completely covered for religious purposes...but I didnt want to look like I was covered. I wanted an illusion neckline with nude lining. I also wanted something not so traditional and something that really spoke to me. Maggi Bridal bent over backwards for me and made all my requests happen! I was blown away by their attention to detail and their thoughtfulness. The boutique is small and intimate which is PERFECT if you dont want to feel overwhelmed. It is by appointment only which is perfect to make sure you are the only bride in there who doesnt have to fight over trying on dresses with other brides as well as get the attention from the Bridal team that you fully deserve.

We were unexpectedly in Asheville and I called that afternoon. Heather was wonderful and fit us in without any problems. They dont have a huge selection of dresses, but what they do carry was really well curated. We found several dresses to try on and Heather was amazing. She pinned me in and spent over an hour with us trying on multiple dresses. She was really nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. Wed previously been to a big warehouse type of dress store and had the worst experience there. This was 1000% different. I thought I hated dress shopping, but a visit here really gave me different perspective. Im not sure if Ive found "the" dress, but I had such a great experience that I really want to be a Maggi bride!

Had a wonderful experience at Maggi Bridal with Heather! She was extremely patient and helpful throughout the appointment, even when I was running over time because of my indecisiveness. I consider myself fashion challenged and pretty clueless when it comes to wedding dress shopping but Heather knew the right questions to ask and narrowed my focus to help me find what I was looking for. It is a small shop, yet has a wide variety of dresses- so many different styles! Definitely recommend this West Asheville gem!

Amy and Heather over at Maggie bridal in Asheville made my experience so magical. They were so personable, and made me feel like a friend when I left. They were patient and extremely helpful. Their selection of dresses would satisfy any bride. Wedding dress shopping can be stressful, but Maggie bridal changed the game. I would highly recommend! Thank you guys!

My dress shopping experience was more than I couldve ever hoped for! Amy was SERIOUSLY amazing. So kind, calming and thoughtful. Her dress selection is super unique, so you wont have to worry about even seeing a cookie cutter dress. The entire process has been a dream. #1 bridal store in Asheville!!
