Cute little boutique, friendly staff. Worth checking out their events calendar, they have something akin to wedding dresses101 where you can learn all the terminology with friends!
My second appointment of my big dress shopping day with my mom brought us to Weddings 826, and it did not disappoint! The shop is adorable, cozy, and the staff is very welcoming. My bridal assistant, Kayla, was so sweet and asked lots of great questions to figure out what I was looking for. She quickly knew my style and brought some gorgeous dresses (she seemed to have a great memory for their inventory too!). Their appointment slots are one hour, which is a tad short for someone who's just starting to dress shop. That being said, Kayla was kind enough to let me go over the hour so that I could re-try my two favorite dresses to snag pics and compare. Although I ended up finding "the" dress at a different store later that day, I cannot recommend Weddings 826 and their lovely staff enough!
I only purchased accessories here but had a fabulous time doing so! I brought my dress and one friend with me and Jordan helped me. She was so nice and accommodating. We were offered champagne when we arrived and I gave Jordan an idea of what I was looking for. She brought me some great options for jewelry and I ended up selecting some beautiful rose gold drop earrings and a silver and rose gold necklace. Would highly recommend Weddings 826 for all your dress and accessory needs!
I had visited multiple stores before Weddings 826, which was my final stop. I had dresses I liked, but never had the "this is the one!" moment. I had an idea in my head, but couldn't seem to find a dress i loved. I told them about my wedding, and what kind of style it was, and the woman helping me grabbed a few dresses I had described, and some that I hadn't even thought of. I ended up trying on one that I hadn't even considered as a style I might wear, and knew immediately it was the one! I am so grateful they read into my style and wedding and found my perfect dress. And it was much cheaper than i anticipated!
