I was a walk in here and really enjoyed my experience. This is not a fancy store, but they carry the same gowns as many of the other fancier stores at lower prices. I will forgo a glass of champagne if I can save $ 500! The owner Yolanda was very nice and sat down with me to go through catalogues. I was looking for long sleeve gowns only, which are hard to find, but Yolanda found three for me to try on. I did not end up buying my dress here, but I would recommend walking in here.

I quite literally could not be happier with my experience here. I love my dress. It’s possible I’m wearing it right now. :-) This was the first store I went to, because I saw on Unilocal that I didn’t need an appointment. I didn’t for a second think I would actually find my dress. The store is small. We were allowed to poke around and pull dresses while the store took care of someone who was already there.(I really like the low-pressure, hands-off approach.) I tried on 6 or 7 different dresses. They didn’t try to talk me into anything I didn’t like, and really let the dresses speak for themselves. The owner also got me headpieces and veils to help complete the look. Also, they let me take plenty of pictures to send to my mom. I initially left, because I thought I needed to visit at least two places before making a decision. I looked around, but I just couldn’t stop thinking of the second dress I tried on(I actually tried it twice). I tried to find it elsewhere, but after every single store in Massachusetts told me that they would have to order it, I decided to get it from the store that actually helped me. I placed the order over the phone, Yolanda shipped the dress to my home in Boston, and it arrived the next day. I did have to try on dresses in the storeroom. I tend to go with the flow, so whatever. Just make sure to walk to the back of the room — there’s a window near the front.

Like others, I came here because they don’t require appointments. The place is small and a little haphazard but definitely take the time to look around. We had to wait for a little while because a bride was being fitted for her gown and they only work with one bride at a time. Also, trying on dresses means going into the storage room and putting it on. They didn’t try to push me to buy a dress and it was fun to see more dresses in the style I liked. This definitely helped me to solidify in my mind what I wanted my dress to look like but unfortunately they didn’t have that in the store. The women were nice and overall it was a decent experience.

Little shop with gorgeous gowns, including what I was looking for — fit and flare lace gowns. As with David’s Bridal, the owner tries to sell you the sample gown. If that’s ok for you, the gown is gorgeous and certainly in better condition than the David’s Bridal sample gowns. Maybe if you pushed her she would order one for you, but I left to take a look at the Demetrios/Macy’s salon before it got to that point. I ended up buying mine from Demetrios, but these were close, definitely if nothing else worked out. Also, she will work with your budget — my budget was $ 2000, so she said she would give me the gown and alterations for that price.

The owner Yolanda was really nice. Its great that you can do walk ins here. It’s a tiny place on the 2nd floor of a building. If you want that lavish feeling when trying on gowns, this is not the place for you, however the owner was very helpful.

Came here after searching for NYC walk-in bridal places(and found this on Unilocal!yeah!). I didn’t get a dress here, but I did try on three very, very beautiful gowns, each extremely different from the other. This is a SMALL little store, so don’t expect huge, mind-blowing selection. My biggest qualm with this place is the value of the dresses. I’m always skeptical when owners make the prices drop magically«just for you.» You know what I mean. It’s kind of like the purse-vendors in Chinatown. One dress I looooooved, the owner told me she got from someone in Italy, and it usually is a $ 10,000 dress, but she was selling it for $ 3,000. When we told her we wanted to stay under $ 2k, we were told that it could be dropped to that if we bought the sample(which sadly had a few small marks on it… which were not coming out with the manager’s efforts). I don’t know, maybe that doesn’t sketch out some people, but it did for me. Also because my mom definitely noticed that the designer of one of the dresses was quite prolific at RK Bridal, where the dresses are definitely not priced in the mega multi thousand price bracket.

We went to this bridal store as it was the only one to accept walk-ins. The owner was amazing. I tried on more than a few gowns and she helped us discuss how it looked for each and every one of them in a very pleasant mood and with a big smile. Will go back this week. I will buy my wedding gown from her if one of them works out.

i walked in here without an appointment — and they accomodated me. even if they didnt give me a proper fitting room(they only had one, and that one was taken) the manager helped me into the dresses and took them out for me even if we were clearly doing it in the stockroom. they have very very nice dresses — if you like the princess types. they carry la sposa and pronovias(i think) and this is a bridal store where you can almost haggle. tell her your price and«she will work with you» i guess what that means is that if the sample you try on fits well, she would be more than happy to sell you the sample at a discount. if you like the princess ballgown types of dresses go here. the attention is impeccable. the selection is limited but definitely better in quality than the ones they sell at david’s bridal.
