Excellent Dress Experience

I cannot speak more highly about my experience wedding dress shopping, purchasing, and tailoring with Weddings 826! From the very start they were accommodating, kind, and helped me pick out my dream dress as well as tailor it. Brian is magic and really made my dress feel special and like my own even many months after purchasing. They allowed me to bring guests to all of my appointments and of course Summer the shop dog is the best support while wedding dress shopping. Thank you for all that you do!

Amazing Seamstresses!

Lisa and the rest of the team at Weddings 826 were absolutely incredible to work with. Lisa re-did my mom's wedding gown from 1984, and turned it into the dress of my dreams. She was so careful to consult me during every step of the process, and the result was phenomenal. Pricing was incredibly reasonable too. I couldn't be happier with Weddings 826!

Such a great place

I cannot recommend Weddings 826 enough. Every time I was there, from my initial appointment to choose my dress, to my accessory appointment, to my final fitting, everyone made me feel special and beautiful. They have a wonderful selection of dresses that contain both classic and unique looks in a wide variety of price ranges. Kayla did a great job of listening to what I was looking for while still giving me options that were a little bit different, and I ended up picking a dress that was different (but better!) than I imagined I’d be in. I also loved the convenience of working with Weddings 826 for alterations - my dress fit perfectly and looked beautiful for my day!
