I can't say enough good things about Classic Bride & Formals. This was the fourth place I visited in search of a wedding dress, and the experience here was by far the best of all. Amanda greeted me warmly when I arrived (and didn't even mind that I was 10 minutes early). She showed me around the beautiful collection of gowns they have, and gave me all the time I needed to explore on my own and select gowns to try on. She was patient as I went through close to 15 dresses, providing good feedback but also listening carefully to my own thoughts about each one. While I ended up really loving 3 gowns, there was one I had a strong gut feeling about, and I'm so happy to say I chose it for my wedding.
Throughout the entire process, there was never an ounce of pressure to buy, and the prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of dresses and the designers featured. I ended up liking several dresses from the sale rack too, which had been marked down quite a bit. So you can likely find something for any budget.
Amanda was also extremely helpful in explaining the process of buying and then altering the gown. While it will be a few months before my dress is ready, I am already excited to go back to see Amanda and store owner Phaedra and work with their seamstress on my fittings.
I highly recommend the store to any bride!
