    Great experience from start to finish!

    I absolutely loved my experience at Love Story. It was the first and only place I went to try on wedding dresses. We were doing a planned elopement outside in a Glacier National Park but I still wanted a formal
    wedding dress and I thought I had a general idea of what I wanted but ended up having no idea what I wanted. ☺️ My top 3 dresses could not have been more different and the staff helped walk me through the pros and cons of each of them without pressuring me one way or another. It’s a small shop so you don’t feel overwhelmed but they have a great variety of dresses and also do designer trunk shows quite often. It’s also a seamless transition if you use their alterations studio (which I recommend). Everyone was friendly and helpful from start to finish and I’ve already recommended them to multiple friends!

    My dream dress

    My experience at A Love Story was BEYOND amazing! From the first time I stepped first in the shop the girls were so warm and welcoming. I tried my dress on and immediately knew it was it and they still let me try on more to make sure it was right. They then stored the dress (as it was the sample I purchased) until June! When they had a trunk show for accessories they let me come in and try my dress on again. The dress was so perfect and I’m still so so in love with it. I can’t thank the A Love Story team enough for making my dreams come true

    Dream Wedding Dress From The Best Bridal Shope Ever

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience last year buying my wedding dress from Love Story by Angela's Bridal from the very first meeting until the day I picked up my dream dress!! Janet and all of the staff were so welcoming and made what could have been an overwhelming experience so much fun! All of the ladies there were so knowledgeable about the many different types of dresses and styles, and they were able to read my emotions while trying on the different dresses, in order to help me find "the one". They were patient and kind and never rushed me (or my Mom). They were there for me and made me feel so special, even though I know they do this all the time with so many other brides lol. The dress itself was the most gorgeous dress I had ever seen and it was so ME! I would buy the same dress over and over again and I am so happy that I chose this one as my final bridal shop. The dress and the bridal shop couldn't have been more perfect. I highly recommend. Thank you Love Story Angela's Bridal!

    Perfection

    I had the honor of working with Angela’s Bridal and their alterations studio for my wedding day. From the first day I walked in to the last day I walked out, I felt like the most special bride there ever was. The experience was above and beyond. I had the pleasure of working with Megan and Katie on my first visit. As this was truly the first time I ever tried on a wedding dress, I had no idea what dress shape or style would look good on me or what my style was (I usually have a very hard time with clothing decisions so I was already anxious about finding a dress that I felt amazing in). After trying on a handful of dresses, Megan told me she was going to pull one last dress for me that she though (based on my likes/dislikes/shape/style) I would love. When I walked out of the fitting room, my mother and mother in law audibly gasped and I walked out of my first wedding dress appointment with my dream dress. I had such a positive experience with Angela’s that I honestly went back and bought a reception dress and cathedral length veil from them too (and the prices are more than reasonable), again working with Megan and Katie. I signed up to have both dresses altered with their alterations studio and they absolutely nailed my fittings! They even added second straps to my reception dress to make it fit more comfortably and snug. Angelas has a nice edge to their styles, but also can tend to the classic bride as well. I would suggest any bride to go to Angela’s and try it out!

    A Love Story by Angela's Bridal's reply:

    Thank you so much for these beautifully kind words! We hope for every Bride to have the experience as you did. You were such a joy to work with and my GOSH what a stunning Bride! Congratulations on your picture perfect day!

    Cheers to Love & continuing your Love Story

    Worked in a short time frame.

    I gave Janet and her team, what I thought was an impossible task and they blew my expectations out of the water. I had less than 6 weeks to find a dress and have it altered. Throughout the whole experience you feel special, as you are the only bride the shop/alterations studio during your scheduled time. Nicole helped me find the perfect sample dress that not only fit the venue and the season but most importantly I felt amazing in. What’s special about A Love Story / Angela’s Bridal is that they have their own alterations studio that perfected the two piece Lis Simon combo I chose, flawlessly sewing it into the perfect gown that fit like a glove. I can’t say enough about Janet and her team. Truly wonderful people that make your wedding gown experience extra special.

    Hi Amanada!

    What an absolutely GORGEOUS BRIDE you were and such an incredible day! We are so grateful for your kind words, and loved working with you every step of the way!

    Cheers to love,

    The Angela’s Team is so good!

    Loved working with the Angela’s team to find my wedding dress! I bought my dress at Angela’s sample sale in December 2019 with Katie’s help! Fast forward to November 2021 for our postponed reception I worked with Katie and team at the alteration studio. Everything went so smoothly through the shopping and alterations process! Love it there!

    A Love Story by Angela's Bridal's reply:

    Shaina, It was such a pleasure to work with you. You both look so happy in your photos and you were gorgeous in your Mikaella Bridal gown. We send to you the warmest of wishes for your next venture together.

    Thank you Angela's Bridal!

    Before going to Angela's bridal, I had tried on about a dozen wedding dresses at a different store. I wasn't thrilled with any of them-- they were too bulky, had too much tulle, or were too heavy. I had a summer wedding so I knew I wanted something light and flowy. When I got to Angelas, they were so kind and accommodating. Katie helped me try on a few dresses and was my hype-girl the whole appointment (which was great because my bridesmaids couldn't be with me). She found me my dream dress- Lis Simon's, Lisbon dress. I knew it was right the second I tried it on. I felt like a fairy goddess! They also helped me pick a veil that matched PERFECTLY with the dress. The staff was always so nice when I went for my try on and to pick up my dress/veil. The price was also right in our budget too, which was amazing. Everyone kept asking me where I found my dress, and they couldn't believe I got my dress in Troy, NY and not Manhattan! I loved my dress and I am so thankful for Angela's Bridal and their amazing selection and warm, kind staff.

    A Love Story by Angela's Bridal's reply:

    Lucy,

    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you, and finding that dream dress! You were an absolute VISION in Lis Simon. Congratulations, and cheers to your next chapter!

    Nicole is amazing

    I came in there a few weeks ago with my mother and youngest son to try on dresses. I had already went to another bridal shop and had a horrible experience. When I walked into the shop I automatically felt welcomed. I tried on two dress and I fell in love with the dress I said "Yes!" to. I would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married. Can't wait unit my wedding to wear it all over again.

    Matchmakers!

    Angela's was amazing! I picked a dress out after a long day of trying on dresses and when I came back to get fitted, Janet KNEW I wasn't 100% happy with what I picked the first time. At my second appointment she asked how I was feeling, saw my hesitation, and whipped out the most stunning dress for me to try on, which I immediately bought. Her eye for what people like, don't like, and feel comfortable in is perfect and I could not be happier with my experience. I would have married my husband in a potato sack but the confidence and joy I felt in this dress was unprecedented and unforgettable. 🤍

    Amazing, worry free experience

    Angela’s bridal is truly amazing! The minute I tried on my first dress, I knew that was the dress. The woman who worked with me immediately buckled every dress back so I never saw what the dress wasn’t supposed to look like. She made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted and not what the people I brought with me wanted.

    I also got my dress fitted with Angela’s bridal. That experience was absolutely amazing as well. Everything went so perfectly. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to get my dress.

    Completely worry free experience even during their transition from albany to Troy!

    No need to look anywhere else for a dress!

    Shopping for my wedding dress at Angela’s was an amazingly stress free experience! Walking into the store, I felt immediately comfortable and at home. I ended up saying “yes” to the second dress I tried on (a gorgeous Pronovias), but I knew If I needed to keep looking they would’ve been there every step of the way. Thank you for a great experience!!

    Amazing experience

    A Love Story was fantastic to work with! A Love Story came highly recommended to me by a few friends who have gone there to get their dresses and they were right. A Love Story was accommodating and helpful when trying on bridal gowns. The shop is small so it feels like a private experience. All of the women in the shop were so helpful when trying to figure out what to try on. I couldn't be happier with my choice of shop and dress.

    Gorgeous store and selection, amazing staff

    I found a one-of-a-kind Pronovias wedding dress at Angela's Bridal, at a floor sample sale! From that second I had a fantastic experience. The stylists are outstanding, fun and very knowledgable, the alterations team is the best, the owner is a wonderful woman with a beautiful vision. The store and stunning, and also has great accessories. I can't imagine a better store for a gorgeous and personal experience.

    Absolutely Amazing Wedding Dress Shop

    This small boutique is absolutely adorable and full of beautiful and most importantly AFFORDABLE gowns. I love the one on one experience this shop offers. It is nice that your family and bridesmaids/friends and the bride really get special attention which is necessary in order to be able to find the dress of your dreams! Meghan took amazing care of me! She was so incredibly helpful and patient! Just as an example, at one point, Meghan helped me switch back and forth between two different dresses at least three times until I was finally able to decide on my dress. I love that they waited to put the vail on until it was down to two dresses that helped me decide. Meghan really listened to what I wanted – she selected dresses that complimented my body type and personality. She offered advice and made suggestions that helped me to think deeply about my wedding and what I wanted. Additionally, when waiting for the dress to be delivered I contacted Meghan and she worked hard to determine when the dress was going to be delivered. I do wish that they did alterations in store but, they did offer names of seamstresses in the area. I am very grateful that I came across this beautiful boutique and highly recommend this shop to all brides I come in talk to!

    Angela's Bridal is AMAZING

    I had such an amazing experience at Angela's. Prior to visiting Angela's, I had gone to 2 other shops in the area, and found dresses i "liked". But i knew i was holding out for my Angela's appointment. As soon as i walked into the doors, I was immediately blown away by how GORGEOUS the store is! I was greeted by Nora and i swear she chatted with me like we had been friends forever! She was so patient and honest with me. I seriously think she would have let me try on every dress in the store - if that's what i wanted! She helped me into each dress so my mom and sister could just sit back for the fashion show.

    Picking the dress was easy - it was the first one i tried on and i couldn't stop thinking about it. After trying all the dresses i put in the dressing room, all i wanted to do was put that first one back on again. After saying yes, Nora popped the Champagne, and we celebrated! I left that day feeling loved and so happy with my decision. Every fitting after that was great. there's really something special about how the owner of the shop meets with every bride to do their alterations. At my last fitting, I tried on the dress and it fit like a glove. However, There was one minor thing (that was hardly noticeable), but the ladies would not let me leave unless the dress was perfect. They spent the day fixing it just so i could pick it up later that night.

    Shopping here was the best decision i made and i truly believe every bride NEEDS to experience Angela's.

    The best bridal salon in Albany!

    My journey with Angela's was a bit different than most brides, but my experience was nothing short of perfect. My wedding was in early October this year and I had purchased a dress in October of the previous year. I did the whole New York City thing, tried on several dresses and found what I thought was "the one" on my first outing. When the dress came in, it was the wrong color, and the lace on it just didn't look as I had remembered when I ordered it. By the time I got to my alterations, I was convincing myself that I liked it. I kept thinking that each appointment would make me like it more but it just didn't. So, finally, 6 weeks before my wedding, I went to Angela's on a whim. I was so upset, but the team at Angela's made me feel so much better. I found a dress that was EXACTLY what I was looking for and bought it right on the spot -- I didn't even have an appointment and they fit me right in to accommodate my situation. They even rushed my alterations appointments so it would be ready for my big day. And ready it was! My dress was beyond beautiful. I felt how I always thought I would feel putting on my dress and it's all because of the Angela's staff. I would HIGHLY recommend this shop. They are friendly, helpful and I'm proof positive that they have seen it all :).

    When I started dress shopping, I had gone to 3 or 4 different shops - some local boutiques, and of course David's Bridal. There were dresses that were okay and could've worked fine. They all had attendants that helped me get into and out of dresses, and all had offered suggestions, but nothing like A Love Story Bridal. Even before I had gotten engaged, I knew that I wanted to go dress shopping here. Every time I looked through the window, there was always something there! Since it's a smaller shop, you always had personal attention and didn't have to worry about another bride to be in the shop with you also shopping for a dress.

    It was intimate, personal, and they had a great selection of gowns. I stepped into the dress that I ultimately went with, and loved it, but wanted to be sure before I dropped all that money on it, and was able to go back again several weeks later to get it! They were so accommodating and were not at all pushy. They gave suggestions and were just a joy to shop with!
