Mimi’s Bridal Boutique

The ladies at Mimi’s are over the top nice, helpful and genuine women. Salwa in particular (who I had my appointment with) was the main reason I found my wedding dress on the first day! She has a really good eye for what looks good on people and what areas you are conscious about. She made trying on dresses a breeze and never rushed me. She also wasn’t the type of sales person who just agreed with what you said to get a sale out of you. She was honest and polite and explained the reasons why some things looked different in the rack then on my actual body. I went into the store with a specific dress in mind and walked out with a completely different dress that I would have never even tried on had it not been for Salwa. I didn’t even pick out any dresses off the rack… she brought everything to me and I’m glad she did it that way instead of letting me choose. She found a dress that highlighted my body and my personality. I cannot say enough good things about this establishment and all the employees. I said YES to the dress!!!

Mimi’s was fantastic! We had our day planned for shopping at 3 bridal salons and this was the third place of the day. We ended up being 45 minutes early to the appointment here and the consultants were with their appointments before my sister’s appointment, but instead of making us wait a while, I believe it was the owner of the shop that stepped in to be my sister’s consultant. She was wonderful. Walked through the entire salon dress by dress with quick yes/​no from my sister if she wanted to try it on. Her intuition with my sister’s responses quickly helped her narrow down the best style for her (which was completely different than what she thought she wanted) and once she could see my sister had a favorite, she would ask after each dress if she liked it better than the favorite so far. It really helped make decisions easy. My sister ended up leaving with her dream dress in hand that day because she bought the sample dress from the trunk show. The consultant took the time to show me how to bustle the heavily beaded dress. My sister lives out of state, so she was taking the dress with her for alterations there. Mimi’s shared their opinion on what minimal alterations were needed and what they felt it should cost so my sister didn’t get ripped off when she goes to have that done. We had extra time because of getting there early and were the last appointment of the day, so they kindly let us go upstairs to look at bridesmaids dresses too. We tried on about 8 dresses and might have found that dress too! They wrote down the style numbers of the few favorite dresses to save for us so we can come back with more of the bridesmaids in December and choose one. They were head and shoulders above the service we received at the other two bridal salons earlier in the day. Thanks Mimi’s!

Mimi’s was fabulous! This was my second time there. I was there 2 years ago when I was a bridesmaid and had such a great experience so I went back when I was looking for my wedding dress. Beth was a blast to work with. She actually was our consultant when we were looking for bridesmaids dresses and then again when I went back. She remembered us as «the drop it like it’s hot girls» which I think meant we left a pretty good impression on her. She listened to what I wanted, didn’t want and pushed the envelope with some styles that I didn’t think I wanted but ended up loving. Bottom line. Beth knows her stuff.
I went to 4 other boutiques through out Michigan and Mimi’s was by far the best overall experience. All the staff are helpful, put together, and their service is unbeatable. I was debating between two dresses and Beth was available by phone and email after I left the store and still hadn’t decided. She really went above and beyond.
If you are looking for a great experience, go to Mimi’s and don’t be afraid to try on

I was not impressed by Mimi’s collection. But to be fair, I was not impressed by the content of any boutique I’ve visited. I ended up having my dress custom made. (Yes, I am very aware of how snooty the last 3 sentences made me sound.)
Actually, I came to Mimi’s after my wedding dress was well into production. So why did I come to Mimi’s at all? I was looking for a reception dress. No, I unfortunately did not find it here. BUT I had a great experience nonetheless! I made an appointment by phone and was able to be seen that same day. I was greeted happily by a lady who I assume is the owner. She showed me different gowns, none of which excited me. But what I liked is that she was able to read it in my face that I didn’t love what she was showing me. She proceeded to ask me if I had pictures of what I liked, and if I had pictures of my wedding dress. She soon figured out that she doesn’t have what I’m looking for, and she politely told me so. She wished me luck, and offered to help with my bridesmaids’ dresses if I was interested. Simply put, she was tactful in showing me what she had to offer, and when she saw that she couldn’t help me, she didn’t waste my time, get defensive, or push anything on me. Sounds like common sense customer service, but doesn’t seem like every boutique gets it. Anyway, I’d recommend anyone to check out the store. It definitely was one of my more efficient trips.

I am not one of those girls who’s had their wedding dress picked out since they were little. But after getting engaged in September, I figured it was time to start my dress shopping and at least get some research out of the way. (After watching season after season of ‘Say Yes to the Dress’, I felt well-​prepared that I might be one of those hard-​to-​please brides.) But… I am amazed to say that my very first day of dress shopping turned out to be my ONLY day of dress shopping! Mimi’s Bridal fulfilled all my needs and surpassed my expectations.
Despite that there was a busy trunk show sale going on, I was given personalized one-​on-​one attention and never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. The consultant, Najla, listened carefully and thoughtfully to my style preferences, budget, and vision for the wedding, and brought me a handful of dresses that matched my criteria perfectly. On the hangers they were exactly what I wanted, but after trying them on, I realized that the style I had envisioned was not actually the most flattering on my body type.
Since she really took the time to understand what was important to me, Najla was able to bring me an out-​of-​the-​box option that was not something I would have ordinarily considered, but was downright gorgeous. Surprise! It was absolutely perfect with my shape and skin tone, and made me feel elegant and sophisticated — exactly what I wanted. In front of the mirror I couldn’t stop smiling and knew right away that I had to have this dress. Najla truly listened and understood what I envisioned for myself as a bride, and then made it happen within my price range (even if it meant exploring some uncharted territory!).
Bottom line: I am so thankful I chose Mimi’s and I can’t wait to return in a few months for a fitting. Thank you, Najla for making the experience so easy.

Amazing bridal boutique.
Mimi’s Bridal Boutique is a stunning bridal salon with a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional staff and a wide array of beautiful gowns at varying price points.
I was immediately greeted by Diana, a polished and knowledgeable young woman who would be helping me. Diana assessed my needs immediately. She asked my budget and was deliberate in her choices for me in order to honor my budget; especially when I was eyeing a silk taffeta full length ball gown. She said, «You have excellent taste. But let’s look at some more of our options.» We laughed together but I truly appreciated her tactful honesty and no-​nonsense way about her. She wanted me to have exactly what I wanted within my budget.
She pulled a sample off the rack for me and next to it was a beautiful silk organza sample that appeared small. She said let’s try this. It fit like a glove. As with all of Mimi’s gowns it was beautiful and unique. Diana took her time with me without being pushy. I never felt pressured to purchase. I told Diana I needed to sleep on it. She said, «Absolutely. We will be here. Call if you have any questions.» I came back a week later and was warmly greeted by Diana, she pulled a few other gowns but when I put that dress back on, I said, «This is the one. I feel beautiful, sexy, and elegant all at once.» And I proceeded to swish and twirl with a huge smile on my face. Diana made sure I was confident in my choice and had me try on some veils to get a better idea of what it will look like finished. She also set up my first alteration appointment so my mom and grandma can see it for the first time. The process was very efficient. I was so pleased I had finally found «the one» at Mimi’s. I can’t thank them enough.
This bridal boutique is wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an individualized wedding gown shopping experience.

I was not expecting a lot at Mimi’s, because of all the negative Unilocal reviews and some bad experiences at other bridal boutiques due to my small budget. However, Mimi’s was great! I found everyone there to be professional, complimentary, and friendly. I was afraid my budget would hinder me in a small expensive boutique, but they were having a trunk sale, and I was able to purchase my dream dress UNDER my ‘small’ budget. They even advised me on what shoes and bra to wear in order to save money on hemming and tailoring, which I was going to have them do. So, they weren’t pushy, and they are saving me money!

I called that morning and made an appointment for the afternoon. The lady on the phone was pleasant and very accommodating so I had high hopes for the appointment. I arrived to the lovely boutique and was greeted very warmly by consultant Beth. First impressions this boutique is absolutely lovely hardwood floors, sparkly chandeliers, and very friendly sales consultants. I can certainly say of the 5 or 6 shops I visited in the area this one by far exceeded my expectations. I will not bash the other locations but I will say this for sure if you visit this boutique shopping anywhere else will feel subpar.
My appointment with Beth was everything a dress buying experience should be. The dresses were expertly selected and each one looked better than the before. She was super helpful and the whole experience was so pleasant and stress free. If you are looking for gorgeous gown, expert consultants, in a super cute boutique book yourself an appointment and thank me later.

The sales associates are incredibly rude and pushy. I showed the woman helping me a picture of me in a wedding dress that was currently my favorite. I did this because I hoped that she would see what I liked and try to pull something I liked even more.
When I told her I wasn’t sure if I liked the dresses she pulled for me more than the dress that I showed her a picture of, she told me that that dress made me look very fat, and it would only make me look more and more fat throughout my reception as I ate and drank. I am a size 4 and could not believe that she would have the audacity to call me fat. Any interest I had in the dresses she showed me were instantly shattered. How is calling someone fat a good sales pitch?! This was absolutely, hands down, the worst bridal boutique that I went to.

I was about 10 min late for my appointment (yay Ann arbor rush hour) and the first thing the woman said was «you’re late. I thought you weren’t coming. Now you only have 45 minutes». I was the only one in the store but figured maybe I was the last appointment of the day so I tried to rush through selecting and trying on dresses. She was very dubious about my budget (which is admittedly small) and showed me dresses that were well over double my budget. She wouldn’t let me take pictures and tried to bully me in to purchasing a dress I wasn’t crazy about by giving me ten percent off (which still kept it hundreds over my budget). I felt like I had to fight my way out without buying and felt crappy the whole visit. I got a call 4 months after my visit to ask if I was planning on buying the dress. I nearly laughed out loud.

I had the best experience with Mimi’s and absolutely love my dress. They made me so comfortable when shopping for my wedding dress, and they had a wonderful selection of designers and gowns. The sales associates were all so helpful, offering advice but not being pushy at all! The alterations process could not have been easier, and the work was done beautifully. They were so accommodating and really worked very hard to make it a great experience.

I had a wonderful experience working with Mimi’s bridal and all the staff.
The salon itself is very cute and has lots of natural light. They have a well-​edited selection of beautiful dresses. When choosing my dress, my consultant pulled a few based off my preferences, but when I wasn’t sure, she and I walked around the salon looking at other possibilities. Her feedback was very helpful. She also understood the ‘look’ I was going for and found the perfect sash and veil to go along with the dress.
The appointments for fittings always went beyond expectations. Rasha has such an eye for detail and did such an amazing job with all the alterations.
The staff overall were never pushy and were very clear about the upfront and expected costs for alterations.
One key thing that I think helped make for a great experience is that no one was ever over-​the-​top or sounded like a cheerleader. I felt they could sense that my personality was not one to gush or cry about dresses and they made me feel at ease but also keeping low-​key during all my appointments. That may be a small thing to note, but it really made a huge difference for me.
Wonderful wonderful service!

Mimi’s has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I fell in love with a Hayley Paige dress online and chose to go to Mimi’s because they carried it in the store. When I went in a couple weeks before the Hayley Paige trunk show, they were very helpful with trying on gowns and when I had my «this is my dress moment» they gave me the trunk show prices… including a discount on my vail. I am a bit on the taller side so they gave me advice on shoe height to ensure I wouldn’t need hemming with my alterations.
Alterations have been great as well and they have been about to work easily around my complicated work schedule. Rasha showed and explained everything as I went through the process. In the end I have ended up with an absolutely beautifully fitting gown and have Mimi’s to thank.
I will definitely be recommending them to all my engaged friends!

This was another one of the shops that my sister took my mom and I to. We were able to go through the different sections and select dresses for her to try on. They had a decent selection varying from styles and prices, but what makes the place stand out is the service. The person working with my sister seemed to really know her personality and style from just speaking with her. She also knew how to accessorize and able to provide ideas and suggestions. We also went upstairs for me to try on bridesmaids dresses as well. My only complaint was that generally speaking the prices seemed kind of high.

I’m surprised at the negative comments I’ve heard because I had a wonderful experience at Mimi’s! We were the only appointment that day and were treated very well. Beth escorted me into the fitting room and personally helped me button/​zip up the dresses. She also made it a point to make the dress look as presentable as possible, even if that meant clamping the back for a better fit. I found an amazing dress at Mimi’s but had another appointment at a different store that I wanted to honor. The staff at Mimi’s was completely understanding only asking that I call if I found something else so that they could remove my information from their file.
After spending about 20 minutes at the second appointment it was evident that the staff at Mimi’s and their product was exceptionally better and exactly what I was looking for in my wedding planning experience. I just went in for my measurements and they were a bit busier than the first time I went in yet just as helpful and attentive as the first time.
I would recommend this boutique if you’re looking for personalized attention and unique, beautiful wedding gowns. They far exceeded my expectations!

I drove 45 minutes to come to this place and was told several times she would be closing early as soon as I walked in, even though I called before I came to verify the closing time. She had very little knowledge about any designers I mentioned and was very unpleasant to deal with. Definitely not coming back here.

I’ve only been in 2 bridal salons but that was all it took for me to realize that Mimi’s was definitely my bridal salon of choice! The women have been nothing short of accommodating. Considering I have a toddler, I needed to feel accepted and welcomed when it came time to shop for a wedding dress with a little girl in tow and Mimi’s still provides the ultimate bridal experience. I can speak volumes of the knowledge these women possess when it comes to wedding detail & style. Rasha is phenomenal and I wish I could have her assisting with the styling of my whole wedding! Cannot wait for my fittings over the next few months and to continue working with such a fabulous bridal boutique!!!

People at Mimi’s know wedding gowns. Period.
I had no idea what I wanted, other than that I wanted a simple dress with no frills. I walked in during a busy trunk show weekend and worked with Rashia. She picked out dresses from hangers I said no to, but she insisted that I try them on anyways. And I am so thankful that she did! She really understood my style and was able to pick beautiful dresses that my body type would look good in. When I was torn between 3 – 4 dresses, she quickly figured out my hesitations and likes to eliminate choices down to 2. At which point, she allowed me to come back to try on the dress a few more times before I made my final decision. It was a wonderful experience. People at Mimi’s provided me with priceless advice that I couldn’t have even thought to ask for. They are truly wonderful at what they do.
The alteration was pricey but was worth it as Mimi’s is exceptional and full of expert perfectionists.
My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that most of the dresses that were pulled were much over my budget (which I was naiive and set too low).

I shopped here for my wedding dress and out of all of the places I went, the service here really turned me off. I was rushed through my appointment by Mimi – I barely spent 3 minutes in any gown before she would push me into trying on the next one. She helped me into gowns, but was pretty hands-​off when it came to fitting, clipping, and making them look presentable before I showed my family. She offered very little knowledge or commentary about any of the gowns I was interested in. She eventually kicked me out of the dressing room and said the appointment had to be over because other people needed the room… but I didn’t see anyone coming in after me.
The dressing room space is pretty cramped and not very comfortable for those who are shopping with you, and the dressing rooms are pretty tiny. The bridesmaids section upstairs is kind of crappy-​looking and we had very little help up there too.
I give it two stars because they carry some great designers and have a nice selection, but after how my appointment went, I can’t imagine actually buying something there!

My fiancée came home crying after an appointment at Mimi’s Bridal Boutique. From the moment she walked in, they were unprofessional, fully lacking empathy, and incredibly pushy. Multiple times throughout the process, she was presented with a preliminary contract. which she was ordered to sign guaranteeing a deposit before ever discussing anything. My fiancée flat out told the attendant how unprofessional her behavior was and how uncomfortable she felt and ended up leaving distraught and in tears. As she was leaving, she could see the girl with an appointment after her was already wearing the dress she had just tried on (idiotic salesmanship more than anything).
Bottom line, this is the antithesis of how wedding dress shopping should be – STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO NOT go here unless you want to be pressured into spending thousands of dollars prematurely.
