Strut

Strut Bridal provided me the perfect experience that every bride dreams of! They made me feel beautiful, confident, and unique! Natasha was incredible at listening to what I liked and didn’t to help me find my dream dress! She encouraged me to take chances, try everything, and have fun! The staff was accommodating to the guests I brought with me and left us all feeling wonderful! Great selection, prices, staff, and experience!

I had the pleasure of experiencing Strut and all it has to offer on Mother’s Day and I was NOT disappointed! Natasha treated us with respect, kindness, and patience while I tried on several dresses to find the PERFECT one! The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable and I was very thankful for that as I was slightly nervous! Lol. Thank you so much Strut and Natasha for being a special part of this journey with me!!!

Strut was the third store that I visited when looking for my wedding dress. While the first two experiences were great, Strut blew them out of the water.
Strut was accommodating from the first phone call. They called me to confirm my appointment and we discussed my larger party that would be joining me on the day. They assured me that there would be no issue accommodating my entourage! Upon our arrival, we were greeted by three smiling faces. Ann came over and told us they were wrapping up an appointment and she would be right back. After looking through the images of the dresses that I had already tried on (one of them potentially being THE one) she disappeared to find dresses for me. She then brought us all back to try on dresses.
To say that Ann is a master is an understatement. She did not measure me initially, but brought out 5 dresses that were an almost perfect fit in the sample sizes. She was more than accommodating as I asked to try on different accessories, belts, veils, and sleeves. She encouraged me to mix things up and made me feel totally comfortable. While she was a woman on a mission, she listened to EVERYTHING I had to say. After trying on a few dresses that fit my requirements she asked if she could put me in a dress that she had selected… I said yes, and boy am I glad that I did! That dress became THE one! I am so excited to go back for my first dress fitting and alterations in September.
I should mention that Ann is the owner of Strut Bridal; however, she never once mentioned that, or tried to pressure me into buying one of her dresses. All of her staff are friendly and understand the needs of a curvy lady. They encourage you to embrace your curves and best features, but understand your concerns too.
I highly recommend that you visit Strut if you are looking for your perfect dress!

I loved this place!!! They were so friendly! Stephanie was such a great help in finding my perfect wedding dress! She was such a hoot to work with and had such a great personality! :) it a very good experience to say the least! I would recommend this shop to anyone! Stephanie made sure I got exactly what I wanted and was so helpful and made me feel very comfortable and beautiful! :) thank you so much strut bridal!!! You’re amazing!!!

As a woman with a fuller figure it’s always been a task just to find something that flatters me and I went into this shopping experience with much hesitation– but Ashley was there to put me at ease. The atmosphere is so welcoming– they recalled the last appointment I had scheduled and made it a point to show genuine interest in my feelings and concerns. Ashley was so patient with me and my family and really took the time to zone in on me and what my wants and wishes were and was able to find me my DREAM dress! I’m so so so happy that I heard about this place and even happier that I got a chance to experience it first hand. thank you Strut!!!

I had an experience at Strut two years ago for a friend’s wedding that was not good, but I decided to give it another go. I am so glad I did!
Liz and Ashley were helpful, knowledgeable, and so very friendly. They showed me all sorts of things and asked great questions to get a feel of what I was looking for. I tried on almost 10 dresses and never felt like they were pushy or rushing me even though I’m super picky and didn’t know what I wanted. They even made suggestions that I would never have chosen and ended up loving. They are good at what they do!
I am leaving one star out for the initial experience, which was with the owner. (It’s one thing if it’s something with the store or an employee, but the owner is the heart of a business and directly reflects the core philosophy of that business.) It’s not the fault of the associates that she made out first experience so poor and, in fairness to the associates, they did try to do what they could despite her limiting their ability to be as helpful as I think they wanted to be. And again, this was two years ago — everyone has bad day (s) so I’m hoping maybe we just caught her during a bad spell.
The takeaway: I am very glad I gave this store a second try. After this last visit I would definitely recommend this shop, especially to size 14+ gals.
Make an appointment — it’s a lovely shop and you’ll get a lot of great ideas and be able to actually TRY ON dresses made for plus size women. It’s refreshing.
Thanks again, Liz and Ashley. My experience today was great!

I absolutely love Strut! They are one is the only bridal salons in Arizona that specializes in full figured brides which I think is amazing. I actually bought all of my bridal accessories from them when I was getting married. Even though I am a size 6 there were many options besides dresses to make my whole ensemble look amazing. I even bought a beautiful flower pin to wear to someone else’s wedding. They also have gowns for special events and prom. This place can’t be beat! The customer service is amazing and they go out of your way to make the experience magical!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I found my dress on the first visit quick and easy. :)

I purchased my wedding dress in August from Strut. I was told by the associate that my dress would come in January, which didn’t leave us much time for alterations so I decided to order the dress two sizes smaller than my size at the time because I was losing weight. She took my measurements, we signed a contract for the size agreed on and paid for the dress. I was told it was possible my dress may come in early and that I would be contacted as soon as it did come in. In November I called to inquire the status of the dress. I left a msg and received a call back a few days later. I was told my dress had come in two weeks prior to my phone call. I was so excited I overlooked the fact that no one called to inform me of this. I scheduled a fitting for the following Saturday. I brought my mother with me to the fitting. As soon as I put the dress on I knew something was wrong, the dress was huge! The associate that assisted in the fitting was not the associate that originally sold me the dress. The hanger showed the dress that came in was 4 sizes larger than the size of the dress that we signed a contract for and ordered. The associate pulled my order and admitted they were at fault and ordered the wrong size. I asked her my options. Seeing as my wedding is in February I knew I had little options. She called the owner Ann and they offered to reimburse me $ 100 for alterations. I am no seamstress so I was not comfortable accepting this without getting a quote for alterations first. I ended up having to pay the balance to take the dress outside the shop to get a quote because they do not have an in house seamstress. I was quoted $ 650 for alterations!!! I ended up utilizing my connections and had my boss’ mom who owns an alterations shop who cut me a huge deal and achieved all the alterations for $ 350 which is still quite a bit more than the $ 100 Strut offered to me for their mistake. I would not recommend Strut to anyone for anything, especially for something as precious and important as your wedding dress! They are incompetent and completely unapologetic for their mistake. I was involved in several calls back and forth with them regarding their mistake and not once did the shop owner Ann reach out to call me or apologize or offer anything to resolve this huge error.

I had a very nice shopping experience at Strut. Ashely was very helpful and had a lot of patience with me. I tried on dresses multiple times each and never was rushed into making a decision. Strut has a variety of dresses and being a big girl I was able to try them on without worrying they wouldn’t fit. I found a perfect dress for my wedding after going to several places. I totally recommend this bridal store.

I was very impressed with Strut Bridal. I only had about 2 weeks to find a dress and have it altered. They worked with me and helped me find an amazing dress, a tailor with a quick turn around and ordered the strapless bra all within an hour. I would definitely add Strut to your list of bridal boutiques to check out.

Awesome place for us fluffy girls to go and try on our wedding gown. The young lady who helped me was wonderful and knowledgeable. Theyjust need a bigger selection to choose from. I was looking for a champagne colored and only had two to choose from. But I do recommend them.

Buyer be ware. They sold be a stained dress. The salesperson was pushy and misrepresented or didn’t know if the dress could be altered.

So I purchased my brides maid dress from strut back in February. I tried on the sample and loved it. It came in about June and when I went to try it on I was disappointed. The pleats in the front were too big and the ribbon that was in the middle on the sample was off centered on the one I received. The ribbon was also fuller and the one I got wasn’t. The manager pulled the sample saw the difference and told me she will send it back and have it taken care of. Well I go see the corrected on and to my surprise it’s exactly the same! That’s when the manager gets a magazine and show me that the picture matches what they sent. When I tried on the sample originally they never showed me a picture of what it will look like not knowing it did not match the sample. I explained to the manager why I was upset and she brushed it off like it’s not a big deal. Then try to say the sample that was sent is wrong. So why have it on the floor??? To me the sample is probably discontinued and they ordered the next best thing not explaining to me that the sample is not available. Her solution… to have the dress altered to what the sample looks like and if the price is reasonable then she will refund that amount. If that happens then I will change my rating to 2 stars but no more than that. I feel lied to and as if I should not be upset because they don’t think it’s a big deal. But I basically paid $ 237 for something I did not order. I do not have time to order something else and I do not trust them to give me the correct product based on my initial experience. I shopped here because I like to support local businesses but I will never buy from here again.

I had a wonderful time at Strut and was treated like a princess. I am a street size 18W so most places have just about nothing for me to try on. The dresses I tried on at Strut were gorgeous. They have a great variety. My needs were met and everything was taken in to consideration to ensure a great experience.

I can’t say enough great things about Strut. I am a street size 12 – 14 and I had a nightmare of a time trying dresses on at David’s, small shops, etc. They wanted to squeeze me into size 6 wedding dresses, some of which, I could not even get my legs to fit in! It left me feeling miserable and like I would never be able to have the wedding I wanted because I would never find a flattering dress.
A good friend recommended Strut and I am so grateful! All of the ladies were very helpful, enthusiastic, and careful to stay within my budget. After trying on 3 dresses at the shop, I chose the dress that my sales girl picked out for me. They know how to dress a curvy body. All of the other women I saw trying on dresses looked amazing and very happy to be there.
I will continue to recommend Strut to friends.
The only thing I wish they had is an alteration center in the store, but they do recommend places for that!

Strut is wonderful!
I can’t tell you how horrible I felt trying dresses on at other places. All of the samples were ridiculously small, and the sales ladies were either too pushy or not interested in what I was asking for… then came Strut
Stephanie was absolutely wonderful, and so friendly during my entire trying on experience. I ended up finding «the dress» and she didn’t mind that I wanted to prance around in it for a while (after trying it on twice).
Unfortunately since I don’t live in AZ I haven’t yet ordered my dress, but I did e-​mail them and they were so wonderful and willing to ship the dress to me! You seriously can’t beat the customer service at this place, especially since they don’t pressure you, have dresses that actually fit and make you feel COMFORTABLE!

I was so impressed with Strut! They were not pushy, they paid careful attention to my budget and when it came down to getting what I really wanted they were willing to think outside the box. I visited 5 different stores after them, just to make sure but noting measured up. If you are a size 12 or up make sure you visit Strut, they service to curvy brides I pick up my dress in August and get married in March. I’ll post picks after the wedding.

Awesome experience here, We were having a hard time finding dresses for the mother of the bride and the mother of groom. Most department stores didn’t have their sizes or had boring and similar dresses. Strut gave them the experience them were looking for and had a great variety of styles and sizes for them to try on! Not your traditional mother of the bride dresses, lots of fun and beautiful styles to pick from.

Ann and everyone at Strut are extremely helpful. After going through many dresses I found mine at Strut! They are reasonably priced and have a variety of dresses. It is nice that they carry plus size dresses, so you have an idea of what the dress will look like. Thank you so much for your help.

This place is awesome. I was in today with my sister looking for an evening gown for her recital and we could not believe the amazing selection. Highly Recommend!

Thank you again Strut Bridal for a wonderful experience tonight while shopping for my Best Lady’s (we don’t like the Matron of Honor title) dress. Angel was so much fun to work with and she really made both of us feel like it was a special event. I loved the experience shopping for my wedding dress and tonight was the cherry on icing of the cake of my wedding experience. My wedding in June in Hawaii will be a wonderful moment for us and having the perfect dresses will make it even more special. Thanks again! I have a feeling I will be back for a special occasion dress very soon.
