    Best Wedding Dress Shopping Experience

    LBR bridal has a beautiful selection of dresses. I had the privilege of working with MJ, she had preselected a few dresses based off of my likes and interests. Everything she picked out was perfect and she even helped me try different dresses. She was super sweet and encouraging and in the end helped me say yes to the dress! Overall I had a wonderful experience at LBR bridal and would recommend anyone looking for their wedding dress to shop there!

    Professional & Funny

    Maria & Maria are professional, kind, warm and accommodating. They made me feel as though I was an old friend they wanted to style, rather than a client. As a student, I am on a tight budget and both Maria's went out of their way to ensure I found the perfect gown.

    Easy, fun, SUCCESSFUL appointment

    LBR was by far my favorite experience while looking for THE dress for me. It was relaxed and all the dresses that were recommended were spot on to what I imagined myself wearing. Keturah and Maria were so pleasant and lovely and could decipher from my indecisive answers exactly what I wanted and were so supportive during the whole process. I didn't feel pressured at any time and had a blast, and more importantly, walked out with the dress of my dreams. Thank you, LBR!

    Thank you Maria for helping my crazy vision come to life!

    This was the first place I went to, and said yes to the third dress I tried on!! I came in with an idea of what I wanted, and a designer that I vibed with, but with no idea about fit/ how things would actually look on me. Greek Maria (vs. Italian Maria lol) was my stylist and she NAILED my personality, which is not easy to do! I truly thought I was going to be impossible to please, because I wanted a classic/elegant dress, but somehow wanted to add colors/glitter/craziness to my look. Exhaustive searches online showed either one or the other. Maria picked up on my energy as soon as I walked in the door and pulled together a beautiful Eva Lendel elegant dress (Margo dress without the sleeves) THEN ADDED A GLITTER CAPE (Daniel cape only, not the dress). It's so perfect, and really captures my energy perfectly! Thank you so so so much Maria!!!

    Extremely Surprised!

    I was convinced I found "the one" while shopping at a different store. I made a last minute appointment at LBR in order to compare every dress to "the one" so I could solidify just how much I loved it. WRONG. Within 5 minutes of talking with my stylist Keturah she knew what my vision was and boy did she deliver! After trying on her first selection I forgot all about the dress I almost purchased. I knew this one was really it! Not only that, but their selection was amazing and she did a great job of pulling my vision together. I am extremely surprised and so very thankful I made that last minute appointment at LBR!

    Affordable. Helpful. Special. Safe.

    I went to get my dress during the peak of COVID 19. The LBR staff made my experience both special and safe...AND I found my dream wedding dress! Maria and her team are absolutely incredible and truly put the customer first. My dress was absolutely stunning and truly perfect for me. Thank you Maria & LBR for making my big day so special and pictures timeless!

    Amazing shop!

    I had such an amazing experience at Luxe Bridal Rack! I went in only 2 months before my wedding, and I was very nervous knowing I would need to buy off the rack. However, their off the rack gowns were absolutely stunning, as well as every other dress in the shop! I was lucky enough to have Maria, the owner, for my appointment, and she was SO wonderful and knowledgable. I ended up finding the most gorgeous and unique dress for my big day!! I highly recommend putting this shop on your list!

    The best experience I had dress shopping!

    This was the first bridal shop I went to, and was definitely the best! The staff were knowledgeable, polite, and patient. They were understanding when I wanted to continue my search to "see what else was out there". Trust me, there's not much else out there - the dresses at Luxe are such high quality at an affordable price, nothing else compared. I'm happy to have bought my dress from Luxe! They even let me try it on again before making the purchase. Thank you to the wonderful and helpful staff!

    BEST Bridal Experience ever!

    I honestly don't even know where to begin this review...WOW! Let me just say that prior to coming to Luxe Bridal Rack, I had been to a few other salons in Chicago and none of the dresses were exceptionally exciting to me. I absolutely loved the selection at Luxe - there is truly something for everyone at (almost) every price point. They have a selection that is off the rack (for a great discount), and then a more traditional section where you can have the gowns ordered and made exactly for you. I have been to a few off the rack stores, but none of them have been even in the same ballpark as the selection here. There were Berta, Gaila Lahav, and other extremely high end dresses here for a GREAT deal.

    More so than just the dress selection, the associate I worked with (Keturah), was so knowledgable about the different styles, materials, how they can be altered for your specific style, and more. She also was not in a rush and let me take my time, which was really important to me as some other places just try to get you in and out so quickly. I truly can't say enough good things about Luxe Bridal Rack, and recommend absolutely any bride to come in!!

    I found THE dress!

    Luxe Bridal Rack was an absolutely amazing place to go wedding dress shopping! This was my 3rd salon we went to and after having a very poor experience at the 2nd place I was very discouraged about finding THE dress. But Luxe Bridal Rack and our stylist MaryClaire were absolutely perfect and made me feel so incredibly comfortable! MaryClaire kept the appointment about what I wanted and while still listening to my entourage's opinions veered them back to my style if they started looking at dresses that weren't me or out of budget. She was incredibly knowledgable about designers/ style/ silhouette/ material/ alternations/ etc and truly listened to all my likes/dislikes. Another awesome thing about Luxe Bridal Rack was that when making an appointment (easily done online) you have the entire salon to yourself with many options in my budget ($3,500)! This made me feel less overwhelmed and more comfortable to focus on me and my wants! In the end, we found the absolute perfect dress and I said "ok, I'm going to do it!" MaryClaire then made the measurements and ordering process very fast and pain free! I cannot wait to get my dress in a few months! I could not have had a better experience and honestly have no cons to mention!

    Couldn't ask for a better experience!

    I was an out of town bride shopping for my dress in Chicago since I will be moving there in a few months. Luxe Bridal Rack was the third store we went to over the weekend so I had already seen quite a few dresses. My consultant was amazing and let me and my family try on as many dresses as we wanted and was always so positive and gave me great advice. They have an amazing selection!
    Originally, I was not thinking of purchasing a sample gown from the rack, but I fell in love with one. Maria, the owner, was so sweet and talked me through the process of buying a gown off the rack and explained how they would be able to fix it up all the minor imperfections.
    We had a few more appointments at other salons, so we put the dress on hold and Maria scheduled me an appointment to come back the day we were going to fly out of Chicago. Of course, I didn't find a dress I liked more than the one at Luxe, so we went back and bought the dress.
    Since we were flying out, they let us leave the dress there until I would be able to pick it up when I move to the area.
    Seriously couldn't ask for a nicer group of people to work with and buy my dress from!

    Stupendous experience!

    Wow, where do I even begin?! From the moment we walked in, even after a long, tiring day of trying on several dresses, my experience at LBR was absolutely marvelous. My mom and I had the store to ourselves with Antonila, my LBR assistant. We instantly felt welcomed, getting comfy in some adorable LBR custom slides. Antonila started by explaining the layout of the showroom and asking well-informed questions about my dress shopping experiences thus far, as well as my preferences. She was very attentive and perceptive, quickly understanding my "style". Her knowledge about the dresses' designers, fits, styles, etc. was evident from the beginning.

    We pulled several dresses, and she once more knew all the right questions to help me narrow down my selections into a manageable few top choices (after trying on almost the whole store, which Antonila encouraged!). She never made me feel bad for wanting to try on more and more. She actually made the experience, which can be exhausting, super fun and exciting.

    When it came time to decide--as I knew one of these dresses was "the one"--Antonila was encouraging, patient, and genuinely vested in helping me find the perfect dress for ME. In the end, I found "the one" and could not be any happier! She also helped me find the perfect jewlery and veil, which we weren't expecting to find that day. All three of us celebrated with a few tears and hugs, and Antonila took some lovely pictures of my mom and me to celebrate the moment. All in all, I cannot recommend LBR enough to future brides! Thanks again, Antonila!

    Best selection and awesome value!

    This was my second stop on a long day of appointments. I found not just one, but two dresses I fell in love with and this was the only place I even found one I even remotely considered. After the last appointment of the day I came back to buy the dress because I needed to have peace of mind there wasn’t something else out there - there wasn’t. I worked with Keturah and she’s awesome, very good at talking you through all the things, doesn’t pressure you into buying and doesn’t upsell you. Although not your typical salon with private rooms and champagne flowing, the end result makes it a 5 star review.

    Flawless Experience and Gown

    Everything about my experience with the Birmingham Luxe location was perfect. Jessica knew just what to bring out, listened to everything, and their private shopping experience is nothing like many of the other crowded, cheesy bridal experiences nearby. The real star is their seamstress. I found the gown I wanted but ask for custom sleeves to built and other alterations. She created the perfect dress without any corrections needed and brought me to tears when I saw the final product. Lots of hugs to everyone at Luxe!

    Dream dress!

    I planned my wedding in two months so finding a dress that needed to be custom-made or needed 8 weeks shipping time wasn’t an option.

    Luxe has a large selection of dresses that can be bought off the rack so I took a chance. I fell in love with my dress at first sight! For ease, I booked my alterations through them as well. Their seamstress needed to take a few things in and bring up the hem. She did an incredible job and my dress fit like a glove on my wedding day.

    They also had a large selection of dresses for order so this is a bridal store for everyone. The dresses were so dreamy with a great variety of styles to accommodate many different bridal tastes. I highly recommend Luxe!

    Wonderful Experience with my Wedding Gown!

    I had a great experience with Luxe Bridal Rack! They have the cutest little shop in Logan Square that I found due to them hosting a Pronovias trunk show. They were great to work with throughout the whole process! They have a seamstress on site which seems super rare for boutique shops in the area (at least others I had shopped at) so that was an added bonus! Alterations were reasonably priced and I loved that I didn’t have to add finding a seamstress to my to-do list! They even included a cute little emergency kit with my gown when I picked it up and made sure it was pressed perfectly and clipped up – there were literally no wrinkles when I opened up the bag! Overall I would definitely recommend!!

    Let me start off by saying I thought I was going to have a traumatic experience looking for a wedding dress. I walked into my appointment stressed and overwhelmed. However, as soon as I met my stylist Joceline everything changed. She was so patient and kind with me. Best of all, I did not feel pressured as I did in a previous shop. My decision came down to two dresses and I love that Joceline gave me her honest opinion. Best of all, she kept me in by budget. If you are looking for a beautiful dress, memorable shopping experience and something for a reasonable price, look no further. I can't thank the ladies at this shop enough for helping me find my dream dress!

    So I will say I was extremely hesitant at first to schedule an appointment here ..... But I do not regret it one bit- It was amazing!!!!!!! To start: I was afraid everything would be so far out of my budget (I was trying to keep it under $3,000 preferably under $2,500 so that alterations would still keep me in budget) and I was! Maria was conscious of my budget and never made me feel out of place in her beautiful store. She also asked all of the right questions while I was in the dress to make sure I was feeling as good as I should be! I had been swaying between another dress and the one I tried on in her store and she was not once pushy or inconsiderate. All of the staff was so kind to my family and myself, which is important to me. In the end I was so happy I went there because I found THE dress (and we built a custom veil)!!! It was all under my $2,500 personal goal so that I left some monies for alterations!!

    Amazing service with lovely variety of dresses!

    The best experience I've had! I've been to several boutiques and bridal shops but have had horrible service experience. One place told me to go grab any of the dresses and just put them on in the fitting room by myself.

    Luxe Bridal was professional. I was pretty indecisive and not very confident about what I wanted. They helped me every step of the way and asked questions in regards to my style, what I like to wear, what hobbies etc. to get a feel of who I am.

    Based on my one and one with the stylist, we picked out some great options.

    My mom came with me and she was a little on the fence about the one dress I really loved. She's a traditional woman that loves tons of lace and shine, and I am the opposite of that.

    Maria came out and explained how the alterations I wanted would help make the dress quite elegant, and how we could order some of the shine from the bit of lace on the train of the dress and add it to the front to make it pop a bit. My mother is also Mexican and speaks English but she is more comfortable speaking Spanish and Maria explained all this in Spanish which was so kind of her. Definitely made my mom happier.

    I would recommend this place a thousand times over!

    I highly recommend Luxe Bridal Rack to any bride who is searching for a wedding gown. The shop is small, but FILLED with beautiful dresses. There is a wonderful variety of dresses that can fit into many different budgets. Maria, the shop owner, is WONDERFUL and seriously made this experience so special. I was nervous about trying on dresses, but Maria helped calm me and make me excited about the whole process. In the end, this was the first and last shop I visited! I ended up buying the 2nd gown I tried on, but Maria was patient and helped me try on others to be sure. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Maria at LBR!
