Andrea's Vintage Bridal

Although I didn't make my final choice at this vendor, I'll never forget how they made me feel special with their one-on-one customer service and suggestions.

My best friend and I went shopping at Andrea's on 3/5/10 looking for a 50s style dress that could be repurposed for my friend's 5/29/10 wedding. The store typically closes at 5pm but we were able to come in after-hours for our appointment. After trying on a few dresses, my friend fell in love with an ivory satin and lace dress from the 30s that could be altered to fit and compliment her figure. Andrea saw the vision in all the dresses she pulled. She loves what she does and it shows! I've shopped at more traditional dress shops and the process can be a little painful sometimes. At Andrea's, it was easy and quick! We were done in less than an hour and Andrea was so much fun to work with. Great accessories, shoes, gloves, hats and much more than just wedding dresses! I would definitely recommend Andrea's Vintage Bridal if you are looking for add uniqueness to your wedding!

The dress I bought here was beautiful and so unique to me, and I couldn't have gotten it at a better price anywhere!

This fun shop has a large number of vintage dresses of all styles. I looked at dresses from the 60s to the 80s. I fell in love with several but ended up going with a newer dress. All dresses I saw were clean and neatly organized. Most are on the smaller side (street size 12 or under). Andrea helped me see possibilities with each dress. She is professional and had many recommendations for flowers, alterations, preservation, etc. As an added bonus, the attached antique store has vintage bags and broaches! Highly recommend a stop into this very fun shop.

Although I did not actually buy my dress from Andrea, her shop is filled with the most beautiful array of vintage gowns and dresses. I fell in love with 4 of her dresses but didn't budget enough time for alterations. Something you have to plan for when you decide to go vintage! They were all in amazing condition and she had so many styles from so many different decades that I had to look at everything twice. Andrea was also quite the visionary when it came to the possibilities of altering a gown to help it become your vision, yet keep it's vintage appeal. The best part about this experience was when Andrea emailed me later that evening with links to different sights and gowns that she had researched for me based on what she knew I was looking for...and that's how I found my perfect dress. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for the perfect and unique dress, along with the experience.

It's hard to use the rating system above because most of it didn't apply. But I would still recommend this little hidden secret to any bride looking for a unique wedding gown. Because it is vintage you buy on the spot and work with what you find. I found my most PERFECT dress here. I believe the owner has names of alteration professionals but I used my own so I didn't need this service. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to meet the owner, I stopped in on her day off. Because her store is located in a antique shop I was helped by one of the ladies for that store (Blake Antiques) and she was very attentive and helpful. She helped me undress a couple of mannequins and made absolutely no fuss about it, which is good since one of those dresses happen to be MY perfect dress! There are also shoes, gloves, hats, bags, and jewelry here. This store isn't for the girl looking for a new princess gown but for someone searching for a dress that has a story behind it!
