The Brides' Project

I was a non-traditional bride looking for a cost-effective way to ethically feel fancy on my big day while still feeling like myself all without breaking the bank.The moment I saw this robe online on The Brides' Project, I fell in love. It was exactly what I was looking for; Bridal without the dress. The train even took the place of the veil. And to make things even better, there was a matching Men's blouse, unifying our wedding looks.Thanks so much to the folks at Brides' Project for making my day so perfect!

The website let me know exactly what to expect. The dresses were in perfect condition, the shop is beautiful, and there were also lots of veils and accessories to choose from. Helen was very helpful and got me set up with exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

I've been here a few times when looking for a dress for my sister's wedding and now looking for a dress for myself. Both times the sales associates were extremely nice and helpful. On top of trying on dresses they helped us try on other accessories to get a feel for what the dress will look like on the big day. The dresses are extremely well priced and every one I've seen has been in excellent to brand new condition! Overall highly recommend!

This was the second place I went to, and I really had a great experience. When you first reach the foyer, you are kindly greeted by the volunteers and they tell you to please leave any beverages (water included) at the front, take off your shoes and slip into their cros that are provided. The volunteer (I forgot her name) was really energetic and gave us a brief overview of the store, asked me for my budget and what kind of style I was looking for.This house is sectioned off by size, so luckily I was in a change room that had bridal gowns in my size at my fingertips. The volunteer showed my maid of honor and I how to carefully hold the gowns and how to place them back on the racks again, since they have already been generously donated by previous brides.I was actually really impressed with the selection, a lot of these gowns would retail $1500+ and they were marked down by 50%. In the end, I was torn between one dress I liked so I asked for their seamstress that they use to get a quote on how much it would be, they happily provided me two contacts and I was able to quickly get quotes. I also lucked out and found a tea ceremony dress that fit perfectly so my friend bought that for me. Some of the dresses on the racks had cards attached to them for the future bride that purchases the dress, I kinda wished that all their dresses had that. But it is a really nice personal touch.I would say that future brides should come to this store with an open mind. These volunteers are super helpful, friendly, and I felt really listened to you.

This is such a cool concept and project! I found my dress here quite serendipitously through an online search, and was able to make a last minute appointment to try on the dress and purchased it the same day. You get a great deal and are doing it for a great cause too. They post new dresses all the time on their website which is always up to date as well as advertise on their Instagram page, which helps tell you when the dresses came in (some styles go fast!) A friend recommended I check this out a while back and I'm really happy I ended up magically finding something for me here!

An overdue review! I got married in fall 2021 wearing a dress that I purchased at The Brides' Project. (My MOH was also wearing one of their lovely tulle skirts!)The experience was wonderful. I loved that I could determine my size ahead of time (by waist measurement, not inconsistent dress sizes!!) and shop" the collection online

It was a weird experienceI had no experience dress shopping and didn't know what to expect, but I definitely didn't anticipate undressing in front of my friends in the main area (shielded by dress racks).I felt vulnerable standing exposed while dresses were being brought over and set up. Halfway through my appointment, my friend noticed a robe behind the mirror and asked if I could use it.Excited for the appointment, we arrived a few minutes early (3 minutes); the salesperson quickly reminded us that we only had 60 minutes. Throughout the appointment she asked us for the time and reminded us how much time we had left. She could have checked the time herself on her phone or computer, but instead she asked one of us to check the time every 5-10 minutes. When we had 15 minutes left, she said I could try on one more dress, but to make it fast".We left before the hour was up

Absolutely LOVED my experience at the Brides' Project and would highly recommend them for any bride looking for a cost effective dress, while supporting a good cause. The entire process was so easy and seamless - from booking the appointment online to selecting the dresses to the actual trying on experience. The service was so friendly, supportive, and low-stress. Thank you!

I'm so happy I chose to purchase my dress at Bride's Project. As a cancer researcher myself, I was so happy that my money was going to a great cause while also saving me money on a beautiful dress. The sales associates were a very friendly and helpful offering suggestions on how dresses could be altered to better fit my style. I couldn't have been happier with the dress I found here.
