The White Magnolia Bridal Collection

I bought my wedding dress at The White Magnolia in Hyde Park. The selection of gowns here is to die for. I love that the consultants give you 100% of their attention. There aren’t any other brides or families during your appointment time. I worked with Sarah and Ashley and both were SO sweet and helpful. They made «saying yes to the dress» as stress-​free as possible. I was able to come in after-​hours, stay for as long as I want, and Ashley even popped a bottle of champagne for my family and I to enjoy once I said YES! I visited 2 other bridal boutiques and this was my favorite BY FAR. You and your guests will not be disappointed.

My fav in Tampa.
Love the exclusivity of getting the store to myself & the girls are so helpful & sweet! There is a good a variety of styles that are gorgeous.

TWM is an incredible little shop hidden in Hyde Park. TWM was my 3^rd and final visit to a bridal shop. Ashley did an amazing job listening to what I had in mind but also helped me get out of my comfort zone a little bit. Everything about my appointment was so intimate and personal. I loved that you get the shop to yourself during your appointment so there are no distractions. I didn’t say yes to the dress right away but Elizabeth went above and beyond stayed past her last appointment just «in case» I decided to return. Low and behold, i «marinated» and came back in an hour after my appointment to say yes to my dress!

I had the best experience at The White Magnolia in Hyde Park. I had been shopping for «the dress» for a few months; I went to numerous stores and probably tried on 90+ dresses. I was beyond frustrated and almost cancelled by appointment but for some reason I just decided to go (plus what’s a few more dresses at this point).
Working with Ashley, the store manager, was an incredible experience. From the minute I walked in, I felt completely comfortable and at ease. She took the time to sit down and ask me a few questions about what I was looking for or wasn’t looking for in a dress. She could immediately tell I was beyond frustrated at this point. Ashley helped me the whole time during my appointment, and she was AMAZING! She gave me positive advice and suggestions while I was trying on dresses, made me feel comfortable and she was so much fun to be around (which was such a nice change of pace compared to all the other place I had been) At one point I remember looking over at her and asking if she picked this dress out for me to try on, and she did! Every dress she suggested I liked but I like the next one a little bit more. I FINALLY was able to «YES TO THE DRESS» and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I felt like she was just as excited and in the moment as my mom and I were. She immediately went to the back and popped a bottle of Champagne for my mom and I to celebrate while she did some paper work.
Our appointment ended up going way over what we were scheduled for but Ashley didn’t mind. She wasn’t pushy, didn’t make me feel rushed for time or into a decision. For any brides looking for the ultimate dress experience I would recommend making TWM your first (and hopefully only) stop. The entire store is yours for the appointment, there were no pushy sales gimmicks just beautiful gowns, an adorable atmosphere.

I made an appointment for my cousin to visit this boutique and try on wedding dresses ⁷⁄₁₈. This was our third appointment of the day, previously visiting Cici’s in St. Pete and The White Closet in Tampa. We loved the fact that the sales associates lock the doors and close the shop, making the appointment very private and exclusive to the bride. The woman who was helping us was so polite and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Towards the end of the appointment my cousin tried on a dress that was just marked down 25% off and was not anything close to her vision of the dress she would say I Do in… BUT the dress was beautiful on her and adding a veil and a embellished belt it tied the entire look together and she said YES TO THE DRESS!!!

I’m not even going to lie, some people associate the Hyde Park area with being pretentious, and some brides on a budget may even be hesitant about visiting this bridal shop, but don’t be!
I never even knew about this bridal shop, but I’m so glad I found it on Unilocal and decided to come in. I’ve looked everywhere for a Hayley Paige dress and this shop has their blush line. I think I may have even found THE Dress.
Sarah who helped me was super nice. Not pushy and made me feel very comfortable. The prices range from 1500 to 5k, so there’s def dresses that fit most budgets. I think they accept walk ins but you should make an appointment. Each appt lasts about 1.5hrs, and they ask that you bring no more than 6 people. They even lock the store up so you have the whole store to yourself, which I think is a nice touch.
They don’t have a HUGE selection like a David’s bridal, but I think it’s quality over quantity, I saw dresses there that were very flattering and fit better than anything else I have tried on in the area. I tried on Watters and Tara Keeley along with the Hayley Paige. There was a lot of lace dresses, simple dresses, and dresses with different patterns… overall a great selection.

I cannot give enough praise to this bridal shop. Ashley and the team at White Magnolia made the wedding dress shopping experience stress-​free but focused and successful. They accommodated my small group and knew exactly when and how to interject as needed to keep the appointment on track. This will be your first and ONLY stop needed when shopping for your dream dress.

Ashley and the girls at The White Magnolia are wonderful!
You get individual attention from Ashley and each appointment is 1.5 hours long. She is honest, knows her stuff and can pull a dress like no one’s business.
I had some reservations about picking out my wedding dress and actually returned 3 times before making my decision (it had nothing to do with TWM or Ashley, it had everything to do with me). Ashley let me take my time and absorb everything that was going on in order for me to make my decision and I never felt pressured to purchase.
I ended up with a custom Modern Trousseau.
I can not be happier with my experience with TWM and Ashley.
I do not feel like I just purchased a dress, I feel like I became part of the TWM family.

The White Magnolia is such an amazing experience! So glad I found this adorable little shop in Hyde Park. Ashley was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and sweet. My mom and I had the shop to ourselves for the entire appointment, which really helped me focus and pick out the perfect dress. She also made sure to keep my choices in budget. Nothing was overwhelming, hectic, or any other negative experiences you associate with wedding dress shopping. It felt like I was hanging out with my best friend!

I just smile with joy every time I think about this place. Yes, I found my dress here and it was the warmest and most wonderful experience. The appointments are private so it’s just you and your family & friends that get to share in it. Ashley was so sweet and really picked up on your feelings while trying on dresses. While the boutique has beautiful dresses & décor, the atmosphere was totally relaxed and I did not feel any pressure at all to get my dress there. I really think this is the best dress shop in the Tampa Bay Area!

Kerrie and Ashley were so easy to work with. I was nervous about making such a large purchase, but this business uses a contract to that you are protected in case something happens to your order. The selection is excellent and I love the personal attention! I tried on the dress during a sale and came back a few days later when the sale ended, but still got the 10% discount. Highly recommended!

The White Magnolia is the first store I took my entourage (my parents + 2 friends) to look at dresses with me. I didn’t think I would actually buy one, however it didn’t take long to realize TWM had many different styles and I had multiple dresses I had to narrow down and choose from. The girls who helped me (Ashley & Kristin) had a lot of knowledge and helped me while also entertaining my group. We had drinks during our shopping and comfy chairs for everyone to relax in. The girls were also very personable and seemed more like friends helping me than sales people and I felt zero pressure to buy a dress. The dresses were all clean and looked brand new and the store was in perfect shape. My favorite thing was that they close the store when someone is in there with an appointment so we had it all to ourselves and could focus on me. It made me feel a lot more special and keep the event private and personal. I ended up buying a gorgeous dress and a belt there during my appointment and would recommend anyone go to shop with them!

The White Magnolia was the first and last bridal store that I went to when I was shopping for my wedding dress. TWM is committed to giving each bride individualized and personalized attention, so I was really impressed by the fact that you and your party are the only ones in the store during the appointment. Ashley, who helped me find my dress, was wonderful! Even though my appointment was late in the afternoon (the bride before me tried on 20 dresses!), she was so enthusiastic and cheerful throughout my time there. She also has an eye for style and is extremely knowledgeable about the designers and dresses that TWM carries. After trying on 3 dresses, I found my dress and am happy to say that I have no wedding dress remorse!
