Heather was an absolute dream to work with! I had went to Mimi’s (a top-rated shop in STL) as my first try-on experience and left feeling very discouraged about not finding a dress that I even liked. I researched the designer Made with Love and found Heather/the Bridal Parlour. It is the only shop within 250 miles that carries this designer, and I am so thankful the designer brought me to her!! I reviewed the look book prior to the appointment and favorited 14 dresses that Heather already had pulled when I arrived! I ended up trying nearly 20 dresses on as Heather listened to feedback on each dress and would pull other ones she wanted me to try. I honestly loved at least half of them and had a tough time picking between the final 3 that I loved so much! Heather is personable, fun, and extremely knowledgeable about the dresses and designers she carries. The experience was completely different getting to work with her who has 15 years of experience in the bridal dress industry than other shops. Thank you Heather for helping me find the most perfect dress!!

My experience at Bridal Parlour was incredible. Heather is very knowledgeable and understands what you are looking for! She made me feel so comfortable throughout this process. I would not go anywhere else to look for your wedding dress!

I cannot begin to put into words my wonderful experience with Heather at Bridal Parlour. When I arrived, she had all the dresses pulled from the portal in which I had favorited. She was able to narrow down my top dresses, (without me feeling pressured) in which made my decision simple. She only takes one client at a time so the experience feels so intimate and personalized. Another aspect I loved is that Heather would step aside and let us chat/discuss about the dress. Overall, I never felt pressured... Heather was my number one supporter and wanted me to find THE dress of my DREAMS! Highly recommend to all brides looking for a relaxing experience!!

I had the most amazing experience at Bridal Parlor while finding my wedding dress! I could not have asked for another better to help me find my wedding dress than Heather! From the minute we walked in, she was inviting and determined to help me find what I was looking for! I also had my 18 month old, very busy, daughter with me and she let her help her during the whole process. She made it such a special experience for me to always remember with my daughter! After trying on multiple dresses in the style I had thought I wanted, Heather suggested something a little different. The moment I put on this different style dress, I knew it was the one. She knew what I was looking for even when I didn’t! I will forever be grateful I found the Bridal Parlor and Heather to make my wedding dress dreams come to life!! 10/10!!!

I had the absolute best experience with Heather at the Bridal Parlour! This was my first time shopping for wedding dresses, so I was a little nervous about what to expect. However, Heather made everything so stress-free and easy. She was so sweet, welcoming, kind, helpful, and fun! I brought my mom and my sister, and even though the appointment was a few months ago, the three of us still regularly talk about how much fun we had at the Bridal Parlour with Heather. The pre-appointment questionnaire and virtual look-book was great and Heather pulled out the dresses I mentioned liking. The dresses were all a little different from each other, but Heather really helped me figure out what shape/fabric/details I liked. Her guidance helped me find my dream dress!! She even pulled out the most fantastic veil that matched my dress perfectly. I cannot recommend the Bridal Parlour enough!!

I had an unforgetable experience at Bridal Parlour. This was my first day shopping for wedding dresses and I did not think I would get up buying. Heather was amazing and made the process so fun and gave no pressure at all. We loved having the place to ourseleves to look around but didnt even need to as she had all the dresses I picked out and more already in the dressing room. She choose the one I ended up buying and faling in love with. Couldnt recommeneded Bridal Parlour enough for your special day!

Where do I begin?! Heather and her shop are AMAZING. This was my second time trying on dresses and compared to my first experience, the experience at the Bridal Parlour was 1000% better. I loved how it was only me and my party in the shop at one time. Heather did a fabulous job pulling dresses that I mentioned liking. I’m so happy I purchased my dress from Heather!! 10/10 recommend. You will not be disappointed!

My experience dress shopping at Bridal Parlour was truly amazing! I loved that I was the only bride in the store and knew that the focus was helping me find the perfect dress. The pre-appointment questionnaire and virtual look-book helped so much because dresses were already pulled for me that were my style and what I was looking for. The experience overall was so fun, easy, and stress free! I felt with my dream dress ordered and can’t wait for it to come in!

Heather is absolutely amazing!! After a very unfortunate experience elsewhere I was feeling discouraged. I stopped in the Bridal Parlor on a whim and fell in love with the vibes in this boutique. Heather was full of energy and extremely helpful!! During my appointment she made me feel so comfortable and truly made finding my dream gown an unforgettable experience. Heather made sure I felt beautiful and was just as excited as I was when I put on THE dress! Thank you so much Heather!!!
Kennedy R from Shiloh

Heather was AMAZING! No matter what kind of style you are, there is a dress for you. I wanted something very simple/modern, and there were so many good choices at great price points. I was stuck between two dresses at my first appointment, so I made a second appointment a few weeks later and she had remembered my selections and all of the details I had told her at my last appointment. Heather encouraged me and made me feel beautiful, but never pushed me. I truly couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

Bridal Parlour was AMAZING. This was the third place I went looking for a dress, but in the past two years have been to many bridal shops with both of my sisters. Bridal Parlour had the BEST selection of dresses I have seen yet. Every single one was so beautiful and so well made. I had the best time with Heather, and she instantly picked up on my style and helped me find the dress of my dreams! I loved that I was able to look around and have her pull the dresses that I wanted to try on. She wasn't pushy at all in trying to get me to make a decision and was incredibly patient and just so fun to work with. I'm so glad I found Bridal Parlour.

I had the best experience finding my dress at the Bridal Parlour. It was my first time trying on dresses, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Heather made the process so seamless and enjoyable. She was patient in listening to my ideas, but also made me so comfortable in trying on new things outside of my original plan. Needless to say, I found something absolutely perfect that wasn’t on my original list :-) I would recommend this shop to anyone, far or near, looking for their dress.

The Bridal Parlour should be at the top of your list for wedding dress shopping. They provide a personalized experience that makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I have been so indecisive with selecting my dress, because there are truly so many stunning options! Heather has been so understanding and supportive throughout my experience thus far. I am so thrilled that I am a Bridal Parlour bride ??

I had the best experience with Heather. She is truly amazing and made me feel so special! I was in contact with Heather since March and was finally able to go to the store in May. During this time, she was so responsive and available to help me with anything. I can't recommend Bridal Parlour enough! It was the best experience!!

I would give more stars if I could, I seriously cannot say enough good things about Heather at the Bridal Parlour!! She got me into my DREAM dress, in spite of all the pandemic madness. It is so evident that Heather truly cares about her brides and will do everything she can for them. She really listened to all of my wants/needs and was so helpful in helping me find THE ONE - and ironing out all the details after that! I had lost all hope that I would be able to find a dress with my timeline, but the at-home try on made it so EASY. Heather is super responsive and the whole process was so fast, which as a bride with a QUICKLY approaching wedding date (9/26!) is so important. The whole process was so painless and let me tell you - she carries some GORGEOUS dresses. I will forever be so thankful I came across the Bridal Parlour, all the way from Texas!! I would 100% recommend to a friend!

I had the best experience finding my dress through Bridal Parlour! Coming from a former bridal sales stylist, I can say that the time and enthusiasm that the owner Heather put in was priceless. I felt so special and I didn't think anyone could make me feel this way through the dress hunt experience. I had high standards and Bridal Parlour exceeded my expectations! I am so thrilled with my dress, I cannot wait to get married!

I traveled from Orlando Florida to try on dresses at The Bridal Parlour. Heather was so AMAZING! She was super helpful and had all the styles picked out for me to try on when I arrived. She answered all of my questions. She also gave me a lot of suggestions for things I wasn’t even aware were an option for me. I was looking for an unconventional dress and was super nervous that I wouldn’t find anything to suit me. Heather made sure I tried of everything until I found the PERFECT dress. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much!!

This is seriously the only bridal shop that had any style of dress I liked. So many that it was hard to choose from. Heather was amazing and I really enjoyed working with her. I had a baby not too long before coming in and wasn’t used to my new body, and she made me feel super comfortable. I’ve already been recommending Bridal Parlour to every bride-to-be, no matter their style.

When I started searching for a wedding dress, I hated it. I did the whole big chain stores and the whole experience made me want to elope. One day, while out and about with my sister, we walked by the Bridal Parlour. My sister said, “Let’s go try on dresses!” and dragged me in while I rolled my eyes. When we walked in, we were greeted by Heather, who is super down to earth and knows her stuff. The dresses were no short of amazing as well. Different designers, styles, colors, catering to every type of bride. I told Heather my general idea and she pulled out four dresses. I eventually made my decision on the third dress and I could not have had a better experience. Heather listened, let me ramble, and showed just how special she and her Bridal Parlour are. I recommended a friend go for her special dress and her experience matched mine. Again, heather has a deep understanding of brides and bridal dresses and you will not be disappointed with the attention to detail she has.

Absolutely amazing service and super accommodating! The lady that works there was extremely helpful and let me look through things I like and she made suggestions. Before my appointment she had asked for my Pinterest board to get an idea of what I liked to make sure they had it in the store! Everything was perfect!

Best Experience Ever! Heather was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond my expectations. I had gone to a different store before Bridal Parlour and I can honestly say that she blew them out of the park! Loved that she had dresses that fit the average women as well! You could get the whole bridal experience! Would definitely recommend going to see her! She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and was so helpful! I said Yes to the Dress as well!

I had such a welcoming and fun experience with Heather, she truly is the best!! She made me feel such at ease and my mom and sisters had such a great time because she is the sweetest! When I was deciding between two amazing dresses, I really trusted her opinion and that she was being honest. Im recommending this boutique to all my friends because this was the exact experience I was looking for when choosing my wedding dress!

I loved picking out my dress!! Heather made it so special and worked with us! She took her time showing me the dress in different lightings as well as vials and belts that look best with the dress! If you’re looking for your dream dress and a reasonable price, make the trip and come here!!! I love the one on one time, it was very personable and felt comfortable!!
