Stay Away!!
by mandy081
Well, I had heard of all the horrible things about bridal garden, but decided to check it out anyway to see for myself. Boy people were right. They only care about the amount of $$ you are willing to throw down. When I told her I liked plain dresses, she pulled one out, and when I didn't like it on, she yelled at me and said "you said plain and this is plain, what is the problem". The problem was it didn't make me feel pretty and I wanted to try on more dresses! So rude!
Also, stay away from the women who dress you the day of the wedding. Apparentaly, there are a few women from the Bridal Garden that offer this service and its expensive. My friend hired someone to be her day coordinaor to dress her and make sure things ran smoothly, and all she did was ruin her day. She came hung over, said rude comments to family members, and her dress had major issues the day of the wedding. All it did was cause unnecessary problems.
Overall, just stay away from the Bridal Garden.
- Pros: top designers
- Cons: expensive, rude, no class

BRIDES WORST NIGHTMARE!! GO ELSEWHERE!
by bridetobe11
I had a TERRIBLE experience at the bridal garden. i ordered a designer gown that was supposed to be custom ordered to fit me. I am a size 00 and they ordered me a six. it was ENORMOOUS! they did not order a "hollow to hem" size dress which is the normal protocol. The seamstress was completely clueless! The hem of my dress was UNEVEN- parts dragged on the floor and other parts were too high! the lace wasapplied to the bottom unevenly. The bust was way too big and after 3 fittings - still did not fit me. the waist was taken in too much to try and compensate for the large bust!! after 4 fittings and 325 dollars in alterations, i took the dress to another seamstress. this was less than 7 days before my wedding! i was devastated that we had spent 2K on a beautiful dress that was absolutely awful! the dress wouldnt even stay on my body because it was so huge! the manager was not listening to my concerns and the seamstress was unable to fix any problems! it was a DISASTER! forunately i found a nice local seamstress that fitted me 4 separate times before the wedding to make the dress suitable. we ended up having to put spaghetti straps on the dress so it didnt fall off me. the bridal garden ruined my wedding dress and the entire experience. PLEASE PLEASE dont buy your dress here and go through the same thing i did. it was so upsetting right before the wedding! my local seamstress said she had never seen such shotty work in her 19 years in business. it was AWFUL!!!
- Pros: good selection of designer dresses
- Cons: ALTERATIONS- butchered the dress and couldnt fix it
