Wow, Carmen was PHENOMENAL during my appointment trying to find a wedding dress! I did not really know what I wanted, and she was so great taking feedback after each dress and finding more options on the racks. She pulled dresses I would never have considered, and they look great and really opened my eyes to other possibilities! The store has an amazingly diverse selection of dresses, and so many fit beautifully straight off the rack. Even though I did not ultimately buy my dress here (it was a really close second, though!), Carmen and the shop absolutely deserve a fantastic review because my experience with them was wonderful and so helpful. Thank you, Carmen!

Blush saved my big day!!!!! After losing my original veil day of, I was in a complete mess scrambling to find a new one just as good as the first. After calling Blush, they quickly assisted me in sending me photos of what they had on site. All of this happened on a day they were appointment based only, so there was a chance no one would be at the shop! Having the associate assist me and be so helpful and positive assuring me everything would be okay, meant the world to me. You guys saved my big day from spiraling downhill quickly!

I bought my dress here at the beginning of the year and ms Christy Cinnamon helped me and I couldn’t ask for a better stylist to assist me. She dealt with me having to FaceTime my out of town family. I bought a Maggie Sottero dress and there in house stylist also worked magic when she added sleeves to my dress! Thank you blush bridal!!!

I am so lucky to have found Blush Bridal on a whim! I was having a hard time finding the dress at other shops, and I was on a tight timeline. We walked into Blush Bridal, hesitantly, because we did not have an appointment scheduled, but right away, Carmen, the owner, was super kind and let us know that she had an opening the following day. She was so affirming, helpful, and professional throughout the entire experience. We laughed, shared stories, teared up, and overall had a great time. Most importantly, she listened to me, instead of insisting that I try on styles that I already knew were not for me. Ultimately, I found THE dress. It checked every box, and I felt stunning on my wedding day this past Saturday. My mom and I really recommend Blush Bridal!

I was lucky enough to go to Blush Bridal to buy my wedding dress and I had such a fun time from the initial dress search with Carmen, to the alterations with Carla, I always felt taken care of and heard regarding what I wanted. Its a little more private, with only two areas for dress appointments at a time, you dont feel like youre just another customer getting shuffled through in a dress factory, youre really taken care of in a high-end boutique setting, with dresses as unique as you!

You should go here for your gown. The selection of dresses was wide-ranging and beautiful. The associate that helped me (Carmen) was knowledgeable and delightful. The prices were reasonable, considering the great quality of the dresses. I cannot say enough good things about this shop, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

While I didnt end up finding my dress at Blush Bridal, I wanted to write a review because I had such an amazing experience at this shop. Carmen went above and beyond during my appointment. She was very professional, patient and is clearly an expert in bridal gowns. I wish all bridal shops offered the experience that I had at Blush Bridal!

This has to be the best bridal boutique in town! Absolutely loved Carmen and Christys patient service; they really want to make sure you pick out the perfect dress for your big day. Their prices are also affordable for the exquisite gowns they have available. I will always cherish my dress! Highly recommend them!

I loved my experience with these beautiful ladies and their fantastic shop! Beautiful, relaxed, and professional environment. Brides need not worry when they come here: their price point will be honored and the consultants dont try to pressure the bride into things she doesnt want. They leave that to her family. ;) My sister, my best friend, and I all purchased our gowns and accessories from Blush and were very happy we did.

I highly recommend Blush Bridal! It was our last stop of the day and I hadnt found what I was looking for. Carmen was so patient, friendly, comforting, and listened to what I was looking for. Every dress she brought out was beautiful! The dress I chose is so gorgeous, I cant even believe its mine!

Review №15

Even though I didnt end up finding my dress here, I wanted to write a review because I had such a lovely experience. Once I figured out that I didnt love anything in the store, the stylist sat with me for 20 mins looking at my favorite designers websites online, calling nearby boutiques and recommending other styles based on what I liked. She easily couldve let us go on our way to another store, but put in the extra effort to help me find my dress, which I did later at another shop based on her recommendation. If you make an appointment at Blush you can rest assured that they will prioritize you over a sale and do all they can to help you find a dress you love!

Carmen was amazing and so patient, showing me multiple different styles of dresses! Every time I went in to the store, she remembered who I was and things we’d talked about the last time. My mom wasn’t able to be in town when I picked my dress, so she helped hold the phone while we FaceTimed, too. So happy I was able to get my veil and dress from here! Highly, highly recommend!

I bought my wedding gown here back in October of 2016 when my mom came from out of town to visit me. We had only intended to go look at wedding dresses to get an idea of what gowns look best on my body. I ended up finding the gown of my dreams. Its so gorgeous and the price was fantastic! I loved it, but I didnt have the money for it at the time and my mom dropped the deposit for me. The owner of the boutique was there and was very accommodating to the dresses I was interested in and ones that I wasnt too sure about. She was so welcoming and warm when we came through the door. She was so amazing! She was very helpful in all aspects of the shop. The pricing was so amazing, the customer service was beyond excellent, and the atmosphere makes you feel so bubbly about your big day. I just LOVE this shop. I definitely recommend it to any bride in search of the perfect gown. Even if you dont find what youre looking for here you wont regret walking in because the service and atmosphere is so great. Thank you Blush Bridal for helping me find the gown of my dreams!

Blush is a beautiful bridal boutique. My 1st time visiting blush was in July. My experience there was awesome. Carmen was very professional, she made sure my experience was worth the wild. My family & friends who were there with me also had a great time. I was able to say Yes to the dress on my first visit. I went back on 9/8 with my daughter to get fitted and tried it on again so she could see since she wasnt there the first time. Once again Carmen was very helpful. She was a delight to work with.

Great experience!! My daughters bridal fitting was amazing thanks to Christy Cinnamon!! She was very caring and understanding of my daughter selecting the dresses to try on plus she selected some herself. Christy had my daughters interest in mind as a matter of fact she selected the dress that my daughter has fell in love with. Thank you Christy for your dedication!!

Im so happy I found Blush! My experience at Davids Bridal was less than magical and extremely discouraging. So I did some research and came across Blush. From the first phone call to set up my appointment, I knew I was in much better hands. Carmen was so great! I had a really small window to find a dress, and she made it happen! I loved the service for everyone at the store. The lady who did the alterations was friendly, fairly priced, and gave the dress the finishing touch! I loved my experience at Blush and highly recommend them. Their selection, prices, and staff are top notch! Thank you ladies!

This was probably the worst experience I have ever had. I first saw them at the Uniquely bridal expo at the beginning of this year. I am looking for a black wedding dress and they assured me they had “quite a few black dresses” when I went there, they had one. Also the bridal consultant seemed like she didn’t really want to help us when I was trying on dresses. When I was looking at different styles of dresses (because I personally didn’t like the only one that came in black on me) she was like this looks good but it doesn’t come in black maybe you need to go to a different bridal shop, in a hurry up and get out of here tone. Do my hour long consultation block was only 30 mins. I will not be going back.

I first met the owner of Blush Bridal at a show in January and absolutely fell in love with their pieces. The owner and staff are all very nice and knowledgeable. I ended up making an appt at that show and now have the wedding dress of my dreams. I cannot wait for alterations to be completed so I can get in it!

Review №37

Surprising selection!I worked with Carmen and I was pleasantly surprised at the selection considering I am a larger size and their store is so small. I wanted something that wasnt strapless and the last store I went to had four times the number of dresses, but half the options for me compared to Blush Bridal. Carmen was informative and absolutely wonderful and even offered to let me know with their incoming collection if they have anything arrive that I might like so I can come back in to take another look. I havent picked my dress just yet but my top two picks are definitely at Blush and I will absolutely go back to look again in the spring!

Blush Bridal was the first place I tried on gowns, and where I ended up saying yes to the dress! I worked with Christy and Carmen--both were so patient and helpful. They struck the perfect balance of positivity and honesty. Blush has a diverse selection of unique dresses, so I was able to try on a variety of silhouettes and styles before making my final choice. It was SUCH a great experience!

I cannot say enough good things about my time shopping at Blush with Carmen. She was so helpful and patient with me and the family I had with me, and she made the experience both relaxing and productive. The selection of gowns was highly varied in both style and size, and I found the perfect dress for me within two hours. I would recommend shopping at Blush to anyone!

I cannot say enough good things about Blush and Carmen, who I had my appointment with! She was extremely sweet, accommodating, and very helpful. I had stopped by a few days prior to my appointment to browse and amazingly someone had cancelled their appointment so she graciously let me try on a few dresses then. I picked a couple favorites and came back for my appointment with my mom and MOH and was able to try on more dresses for them. After trying on about 10 dresses and getting feedback from my entourage, I found the dress and ordered it that day! Going back for a bridesmaid appointment too since they made the process so great!

This was my first experience shopping for wedding gowns. Christy was so helpful in helping me to narrow down my style and find the dress that I loved! I had a follow up with Carmen a few days later, and she worked with my parents and me to answer all our questions regarding the ordering process, alterations, and recommended timelines. I never felt pressured to buy, and it was clear that they genuinely wanted to help me feel like a beautiful bride! I said yes to my dress at Blush and would recommend this salon to any bride!

I was just here this past weekend and it was amazing!! Carmen was so patient with me as I kept going back and forth between three dresses (after trying on a bunch), and when I had it down to two but was running a bit over my appointment slot she didnt pressure me at all to rush my decision. She picked out awesome accesories and accents to help me really feel perfect in the dress. They had a wonderful selection overall, and I was able to find my dream dress! It was so refreshing after being to some places where I feel like they didnt really listen to me as much. Carmen pulled some awesome dresses, and let us browse the racks as well so we could pull some. The fitting room was super spacious, and the seating area for your guests was comfy as well. There was another party there on the other side and you would not even know it. My co-worker recommended the shop to me, and now I would pass this recommendation onto everyone!!!!

Very sweet consultant, took my measurements even though I wasnt going to order that day (need to sleep on big decisions!). Carmen was also fantastic about helping me into all the dresses and she said I could try on as many as I wanted, and I sure took advantage of that! Its a cute shop as well, nicely lit and a very good selection.

Blush is THE place to go if you are in search of an amazing wedding gown! Christy and Carmen are both very professional, considerate, and accommodating to your bridal needs. I came to them early last fall after my (now) husband and I decided to elope just after Thanksgiving. In consideration of my needs, they directed me toward gowns that fit my style, budget, and time frame and were more than patient with my decision making. I am more than appreciative and highly recommend Blush Bridal, for all of your bridal needs!

Words can not even begin to explain how amazing these women are! First off they helped me find my perfect wedding dress and were so helpful, patient and kind. Then my mom came in town to visit (from Germany) and wanted to go with me to pick up my dress and get jewelry and accessories. Unfortunately for us we didnt realize they are closed on Mondays! My mom had to fly back to Germany the next morning before they even opened. I sent them an email explaining the situation and asked if they could let me just get my dress. We finally got a hold of each other and they opened their doors for me to get my dress!!! Soooo nice of them!! Great store and great owners!! If you are looking for a great place to get a wedding dress definitely try here!!

Im new to town and was in search of a wedding dress. I saw the store had great reviews. I was amazed at how lovely the store was and the beautiful gowns they had. However, the service was terrible. I was in the store for 15 minutes before I was even spoken to. I had to hunt someone down to ask a question. I asked about a few styles THAT I SAW THEY HAD, but was ignored and told they had no such styles. When I finally got someones attention again, she rudely told me to go look in the back for the dress I wanted. The dresses in the back are used party and bridesmaid dresses?! Not wedding dresses like I needed. I was more than willing to purchase a dress from there, but I walked out and will not be returning. Very disappointed.

I went to blush after convincing myself to turn my zipper back into a corset back because I thought I couldnt fit my dress anymore. Much to my surprise my seamstress Karla hooked and zipped it right up! (My mom wasnt hooking the dress before trying to zip). Anyways, the process after was so easy. Karla hemmed my dress, fit the cups to my chest, and added my bustle for an amazing price! I had my final fitting Wednesday, May 10th and it was the first time I had ever cried in my dress. If you are looking for a sign to tell you to go... GO! Lol
