Pearls & Lace Bridal and Formalwear

After visiting two other bridal stores (one local independent, and David’s Bridal) I purchased my wedding gown at Pearls & Lace with the help of Leisha. She was the first person that asked me questions and actually LISTENED to the answers. She understood what kind of bride I was and what kind of dress I needed. She put me in a dress that more perfect than I could have imagined, and I’m very thankful for Leisha’s help.

In regards to Jen B’s review, you’ll need to call to get directions as Leisha no longer has a store front and operates out of her home.

This was the third store that I had looked at. The first one being David’s Bridal and the second one being Rush’s Bridal. I think that the service was impeccable. I went on a weekday at 4pm, that could have been one reason. They were so helpful and wrote down all of the dresses I liked and even helped me rank them. The owner was the first person to give me an honest opinion when I asked about a certain dress. She said that the dress «wore» me (as in it was too much for my body type). It was awesome. I had asked that same question at a previous store and they told me that no dress can be too big and that is just not true. She was so helpful that I am considering purchasing a gown that I liked at another store through her. She was just as courteous and professional with my bridesmaid that was also trying on dresses. It was great to have honest opinions. The store is on the smaller boutique size and has only two dressing rooms (although a third is being put in), so I would recommend not going when it’s too busy. I would highly recommend this place to all bride-to-be’s. I didn’t feel rushed and the workers were the first people to seem like they WANTED to be there and help. Not as big of a selection but worth the customer service to check it out. She was willing to order any dress I did like from another store since she could get a discount.

I drove around the Burnsville area for an hour trying to find this place. Either the directions online are wrong, or my GPS is. When I called to get directions, the person on the phone couldn’t help at all. Pretty bummed…
