"Adorned in Grace" is so very much more than a simple, for-profit wedding boutique. They carry various wedding dresses and accessories, such as veils and shoes, all for a fraction of the price a person comes across in traditional wedding boutique. The proceeds for all of the formal wear sold at "Adorned in Grace" goes to help to rescue and rehabilitate girls and women who are victims of trafficking. The volunteer ladies running the shop the day I arrived, particularly Joan, were extremely kind and helpful even though they receive no pay or commission and do this work out of love for others. I left with a $350 dress that would have cost near to ten times as much elsewhere and was proud of the fact that my folks hard earned dollars was not just going to make a wedding vendor wealthy. Id also like to note that gals searching for affordable prom and formal dresses should check out "Adorned in Grace" too, as they have a small section of those dresses as well. If you are a mindful, thrifty lady who does not want to compromise beauty for cost, "Adorned in Grace" is a must!

I am writing an amazing review not only because I enjoyed my time here today, but I heard a snotty customer threaten to write a bad review because no one talked to her for the first 15 minutes she came into the store. ALL THE EMPLOYEES ARE VOLUNTEERS, and it looks like today they were understaffed. Someone came up to her afterwards and apologized. Snotty customer- please remember this is a nonprofit and the money you spend on a dress helps end sex trafficking and support survivors. Anyway, this place rocks! All the dresses in the store are under ~$700. They have couture gowns, $100 and under gowns, and racks that are organized by size. I went in by myself and was really impressed by the selection and prices. I put a hold on a gown and will be back later with my girlfriends to look at more dresses and try on that gown in front of them. Great place! I highly recommend this spot to any bride on a budget, and also for girls looking for prom dresses!

Great deals to be had on new and used bridal and formal wear. A relaxed and no pressure sales experience. They have tons of veils, accessories, and gifts too. We found wedding gowns in every price range from $100 to $2000. Most ones we liked were in the $250 range and were more than half off the original price of the gown. Formals are half off original prices too and although the bridesmaids wont match exactly we were able to find two that were close enough in color and fit really well. Since everything is donated there are some condition issues with some of the items but if you are willing to overlook a little smudge or missing beads there are some great choices at great prices. The volunteer staff is great too they give you space to shop but will help you with selection and fitting if you ask. They dont have an onsite alterations person but they can give you names of local people who can do bridal alterations and cleaning.

Gorgeous gowns, very reasonable pricing and a great cause! As a professional wedding photographer I see lots of variation in bridal gowns, their cost and the device my brides receive. I always recommend Adorned In Grace, they have such a variety in styles and sizing that I know my brides will find something beautiful just for them. It feels great to be able to support such a worthy cause and get such a great product to boost! The staff are volunteers and are always super sweet and very helpful, no pushy sales ladies! Gowns are always in fabulous condition, I would never know they werent 100% new. They even have other gowns for bridesmaids and proms! I usually drive over and hour from home to go to their store and I love that they have a Gresham store now too! Very highly recommend!

I am so happy I found this place! I had seen a Craigslist ad and then decided to check out the website and saw that they are a non-profit organization and their mission statement to help victims of sex trafficking is such a worthy cause, I immediately went the following day after I saw their website and was helped by a very friendly mother and daughter volunteer team that was working in the shop that day, they were very kind and non intrusive as I was searching for a gown and I ultimately found the dress that I was looking for and placed a deposit to hold it that day. I have no regrets about this place and I hope every bride gives this place look through before they go to a big box corporation store and help support this amazing cause!

I visited 2 dress shops before this one based on reviews. Both had the same style of dresses but when my MOH and I came to Adorned In Grace, I felt like I was in the right place. They had many different selections at such great prices. I saw three I wanted to check out as I walked through the door and that is NO exaggeration. I had my dream dress in mind but when I tried on my 3rd choice, it was 99% of what I was looking for. As I purchased it, I found out that I came on a day where they were having a discount on dresses. I am one happy bride! I added something to the dress and its 100% what I wanted. I highly recommend this place for their service, dresses, price and most importantly their cause. God Bless

My daughter was looking for her wedding dress new or used and she heard from a cousin, who purchased her dress there, that all the proceeds from Adorned in Grace help to fight sex trafficking and we really wanted to check it out. We had been to several places and this was the cleanest, nicest, most well staffed store with the best selection we visited. I cannot tell you how THRILLED we were to find the perfect dress in the perfect size that needed absolutely no altering! It was just the 2 of us and I could not have asked for a better mother daughter experience! I am so thankful for you all!

Upon hearing about Adorned in Graces mission I could not wait to learn more so I went to the store. I was greeted by amazing volunteers and given a nice tour. I even got to share their mission with a few friends and one donated her wedding dress all the way from Montana. Whether you are looking for a prom type dress, used wedding dress with a budget or the high end elegant wedding dress they have one in stock just for you. Plus, you can think about the lives you affect all the way through your wedding day and marriage. Excellence!

I love the laid back feel of this place and I never felt pressured to buy anything. People who works here are volunteers and they are honest (they will tell you if they dont know something) and will tell you what they think of the dresses on you. The key was that I felt like they didnt say things just to get you to buy the dresses. They have a small section of bridesmaids, flower girl, and mother of the bride dresses as well. I love the work and the cause that this place is for. Went back to the shop twice and found my dress!
