    Best experience ever!!

    Absolute BEST experience ever! Carla was amazing, extremely nice, helpful, honest, considerate, and made you feel so comfortable and did not rush you at all! Her place was so clean, and Carla was so organized and knew all the dresses I had sent her and had other suggestions to best fit me. Carla was not pushy at all and her prices are sooooo reasonable! You will definitely walk out with your dream dress just as I said yes to the dress with Carla at the bridal closet!

    Thank you Tina. It was my pleasure. I can’t wait to see pictures of you in your beautiful gown. I’ll be thinking of you on your special day!

    Great Experience at an Affordable Price

    I highly recommend the Bridal Closet. They have a great variety of dresses at very affordable prices. Carla was extremely kind, helpful, and patient as I was trying on dresses which made for a great and comfortable one-on-one experience. With Carla’s help I was able to find the perfect dress that I don’t think I would have found anywhere else!

    A Dream Coming True

    Carla is fabulous! She is warm and loving and makes you feel at ease. Her dresses are stunning and every dress you try on she makes you feel like a princess. She is easy to talk to and listens. I wanted an experience that was very relaxed and effortless and Carla 100% made that come true.

    The Bridal Closet's reply:

    Thank you Tara. You were a pleasure. I’ll be thinking of you on your big day. All the best to you.

    Amazing experience!

    Carla is the best! She first asked what styles i like so when i had my appointment she already had an idea and had dresses out for me to try on. It’s so comfortable and private and i did not feel rushed at all. The first dress she had me try on is the dress i bought! So affordable and amazing quality! Thank you for everything Carla!!! My dress is beautiful and i can’t wait to wear it!

    Absolutely Wonderful!

    My entire experience at the Bridal Closet was beyond my expectations! Finding a wedding dress was very stressful; I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted, or even where to begin. After going to two other places, I was getting more and more discouraged and I most certainly was not having any fun. The first time I smiled in a bridal gown was at the Bridal Closet. Carla was so welcoming and made me feel so comfortable trying on dresses. Her studio is immaculately clean and well organized, and I loved that she had me look on the website to choose dresses to try on before I went, and she also had pulled dresses that she thought I would like based on my choices. It was such a time saver! I loved my experience, and I am so happy I bought a dress from the Bridal Closet.

    The Bridal Closet's reply:

    Thank you Dana. It was my pleasure. It is so gratifying to know you were pleased with your experience here. Can’t wait to see pictures!

    I am so happy and grateful I found Carla's shop on Wedding Wire! This was the FIRST & LAST SHOP I went to. The experience was everything I could have hoped for! Carla does a great job in finding the dress of your dreams and has a wide variety of BEAUTIFUL dresses to choose from. I did not want to spend thousands of dollars for my dress - her prices are UNBELIEVABLE!

    So Grateful!!

    Wonderful experience from start to finish! After visiting several different bridal salons, I finally found the perfect dress at the Bridal Closet. I chose to shop alone and Carla spent time with me and truly listened to what I was looking for. If you want personalized attention, beautiful selections and reasonable prices...look no further than the Bridal Closet! Thank you Carla!!!

    The Bridal Closet's reply:

    You’re very welcome Eva. It was my pleasure. You were a beautiful bride on your wedding day and every day.

    Absolutely amazing

    I cannot say enough positive things about Carla! I went to several stores but I found the dress of my dreams at The Bridal Closet for way under budget. Carla was amazing at pulling styles I loved and was so friendly but not pushy at all. I am so so happy we found this place

    Warm and wonderful

    My experience with Carla at The Bridal Closet was absolutely amazing! Her shop was the second one I went to. Her service and kindness were so warm inviting that I decided not to go anywhere else. She gives you her undivided attention and makes you feel special! I absolutely love my dress and her prices are very reasonable! Thank you Carla for being the best of the best in my book!

    I had an amazing experience at the Bridal Closet and found the perfect dress! Carla was so welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. The experience was personable and stress-free and all of the gowns were gorgeous and very well priced. She was flexible, accommodating, and very responsive to emails. I went to two other places, but nothing compared! I would highly recommend the Bridal Closet to anyone!

    Made my most dreaded task the easiest !

    I am a little late for my review, I visited Carla in fall 2018 for my dress and I could not recommend her enough! A friend of mine had gone to her when she was searching, didn't find her dream dress there but had nothing but nice things to say so I figured what did I have to lose. I was nervous when I showed up with my two month old baby but she didn't even bat an eye (thankfully he was good too). I had first contacted her through email and setting up a date was effortless and before I went in I emailed her several samples of dresses I had in mind. When I arrived she had pulled out a bunch of dresses based off my photos and a couple wild cards. Every dress was beautiful and I started with the dress I liked least on the hanger, I put it on and I fell in love! She never made me feel pressured to keep looking or try others on, I did try on two others but ended up going back to the first one. Carla showed me several veil and headpiece options though I still haven't decided on any yet! She was soo helpful and made the whole process so enjoyable. Dress shopping was the task I was dreading most, afraid of going into a salon and feeling pressured into something I didn't love with a price out of budget. EVERY dress Carla had was for an amazing price. I will always recommend her to anyone I hear is getting married. Even if you don't find your dream dress you will still have an enjoyable experience at her shop.

    It was my first time wedding dress shopping since I got engaged April 25th, and Carla was absolutely amazing! I went with my Mom and Grandma and it was so nice to have a one-on-one, relaxing environment to try on dresses. Carla made me feel at ease and even boosted my confidence as I tried on her gorgeous gowns. To everyone's surprise, I ended up buying the first dress that I tried on (I tried on ~7 more) and a veil to go with it. I'm very excited to have my wedding dress and could not recommend Carla more!!!! Affordable and EXCELLENT one-on-one service!

    Best Dress Shopping Experience EVER!

    My experience with Carla at the Bridal Closet was by far the BEST out of all of the other shops I visited! My favorite part was that we were the only ones there. She only takes one bride at a time, so there was no rush, no pressure and complete one on one service. The atmosphere was totally relaxed and I felt like she really listened to me when I told her what I was looking for. There was a diverse selection of sample dresses to choose from and I felt like there were more than enough options for me to browse. I did end up finding the dress of my dreams that day! I had the full emotional breakdown when I saw myself in the mirror in MY dress. I felt stunning on our wedding day. I would highly suggest Carla and the Bridal Closet to any bride!

    I highly recommend going to Carla at the Bridal Closet because you will not be disappointed! I can't think of anything bad to say about any of it, except that I have to wait for my wedding to show off my dress! The whole experience at the Bridal Closet really was amazing! This was truly a no-stress experience, and I smile when I think about how great it was. Carla's gowns are beautiful and she is very knowledgeable, helpful and sweet. I am so excited to wear my beautiful gown on my wedding day, and I can't thank the Bridal Closet enough!

    The Bridal Closet's reply:

    Thank you Meagan. I am so happy you enjoyed your time here at The Bridal Closet. It is truly satisfying for me to know you had such a great experience here. Congratulations on your Big Day!

    My mom, my maid of honor and my future mother in-law had been shopping for bridal gowns most of the day when I received a call from Carla stating that she had a cancelation and said that we could come in, in the afternoon. I had heard about Carla and her gowns from a friend of mine who purchased her gown at the Bridal Closet and gave it rave reviews. We were feeling a little tired, hungry and discouraged when we arrived at the Bridal Closet. Upon immediate arrival, the atmosphere was extremely different there than at other bridal stores we had been at throughout the day. We all noticed the gorgeous gowns and all agreed that we LOVED them all. Though we loved all of the gowns, Carla picked the most perfect ones for me from her collection. I ended up with my dream dress and am tremendously happy with the experience! I just purchased my dress a few hours ago and have already referred many of my other friends who are recently engaged to the Bridal Closet.

    The Bridal Closet's reply:

    Thank you Jessica. It was a pleasure working with you! I'm so happy you found your dream dress. Thank you so much for any referrals.
    All the best to you especially on your Big Day!

    I purchased my dress from The Bridal Closet a few weeks ago. The whole experience from start to finish was wonderful! Carla was great about emailing me right back to set up an appointment and when we got there she was amazingly helpful it felt like shopping with an old friend. Every dress in her collection was beautiful, it was hard to even narrow down what to try one. I would highly recommend going to The Bridal Closet :-)

    I have been searching for a dress since September and I was so picky about the kind of dress I wanted. It is now January and I am getting married in September, not much time. After going to several other shops I noticed that the quality and service was nothing compared to going to Carla's. Carla had so many designers and styles to choose from. Her pricing is out of this world too compared to other shops. Her knowledge on fabrics, styles, beading, and brands are out of this world. She also doesn't make you feel pressured into purchasing or trying on something you wouldn't be fond of. I had an amazing shopping experience with her, I am so happy with the dress I purchased, and I highly recommend her. Thanks Carla!

    I just bought TWO dresses yesterday and I could not be happier with my selection! Carla was amazing to work with. Her patience and love for her career is truly a treat to experience. I could not have picked a better place to go to. She is affordable, responds quickly via email, and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable. There isn't a bad thing to say about her or the experience!

    Thank you Samantha. You were a pleasure to work with! I'm so glad you found not just 1 dream dress but 2!

    I was so incredibly lucky to find The Bridal Closet through a random google search! My mom and I visited her showroom and immediately knew we were in good hands. Carla is so sweet and accommodating, she made us feel right at home and never once was she pushy or did I feel pressured to buy. I went into the appointment as a starting point in my dress search not expecting to be ready to say yes to a dress but she completely nailed the look I was going for and I knew I had found "the one"! I would recommend The Bridal Closet to anyone looking for a more personal experience!

    The Bridal Closet's reply:

    Thank you Janet for your positive review and any referrals. I am thrilled you are so happy with your dream dress. All the best to you on your Special Day.

    I found The Bridal Closet by Googling on Sunday morning. I called to see if I may schedule an appointment for that day and Carla was gracious enough to schedule us for that afternoon with minimal notice. Carla was very accommodating. She has a beautiful show room in her home with various dress styles and designers. I found my dress which brought me to tears. It had everything I was looking for. This was the best experience a bride could hope for!!!

    Thank you Carla!

    I found my perfect dress at The Bridal Closet with the help of Carla. She has immense knowledge about different types of dresses and she was very patient with me as I tried on (and retried!) many different styles of dresses until I found the perfect one. Her gown room is beautiful and I felt very comfortable and had a great time with my sister and mother with me. Overall, I would definitely recommend and I am so happy I found the dress of my dreams. Thank you Carla!!

    I went to Carla's after my sister in law found a beautiful dress a few years ago. I feel in love with one but Carla was not pushy at all and so open about me trying on as many as I wanted. Finally I tried on one last simple dress to help clear my head, as I was overwhelmed with how beautiful all of they were.

    I instantly fell in love with the lux satin of this dress but my mom was concerned it didnt have enough wow. Carla helped us see all that we could make this dress but adding our own personal detail and touches in the alterations. This simple beautiful gown is perfect, and even better I get to make it my true dream dress down to the last button and crystal.
