I ALMOST CANCELLED MY APPOINTMENT!!But boy am I glad I didn't! Mom and I had searched high and low, all around Birmingham for the perfect dress, but everything I tried on was "almost" what I was looking for. I found a dress I really liked at another boutique in town, but to make it my DREAM dress, we were going to have to spend extra money in alterations adding straps, removing layers, etc. The day leading up to my appointment with Imperial, I almost settled for that other dress and nearly cancelled my appointment. Mom encouraged me to go and just see what they had. SO GLAD I DID!!!We were greeted by two young ladies, both seemed very excited for us and our appointment. I showed them some inspo pictures and showed the the other dress i liked, and explained the reasons I didn't love it. They both looked at each other and said, "we have the PERFECT dress for you!" So they pulled THE dress as well as a few others. The moment I put it on, I knew it was the one. Before they even zipped me up, I was telling mom "Yup! This is it!" from the dressing room. I walked out and mom and I both teared up - and we are not emotional gals, so it was definitely special for us!I tried on other dresses to compare, but ultimately came back to the first dress they picked for me and absolutely love it! They got me sized, added a veil, and the dress came in very quickly! They even gave us great recs on alteration companies. The dress was stunning and made me feel gorgeous on my wedding day!I've almost typed this review a few times, because the service and selection was so great, but I wanted to wait until I had professional shots from our amazing photographer, Abigail McCall!THANK YALL FOR EVERYTHING!!! I send any recently engaged friends straight to yall!

Smaller selection than I was hoping for and I didn’t find the girls who work there very helpful. They have some wonderful brands but I didn’t love the experience

I went in to Imperial Formal Wear today to find my wedding dress and I genuinely cannot imagine having gone anywhere else! Taylor was absolutely amazing and made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. They had an amazing and size inclusive selection of dresses and the atmosphere was so welcoming and empowering. I genuinely wish I could give this place 10 stars. I went into the shop terrified and nervous for the whole experience and came out with my dream dress and so much confidence. I will definitely recommend them to EVERYONE!!!!

One stop shop doesn’t even begin to cover it! From my bridal gown (with jewelry) to bridesmaid dresses, suits for the groom/groomsmen/and fathers, to the perfect seamstress for my alterations. These ladies know what they’re talking about!! They made me feel so comfortable and important! I truly love this place!!

This review is based on the location and safety only. The workers were extremely nice and the shop was pretty on the inside but the location was not ideal.

If you're looking for a lacy, romantic dress for your wedding day - go to Imperial Formal Wear! My dress was a dream come to life, but I swear there were two other dresses there that were just as beautiful and I would have been happy to wear for our wedding. The ladies at Imperial Formal Wear were also so kind and amazing, very helpful to me in making this big decision. The photos included are by our wedding photographer (Maria Linz Photography); I think these really capture the romantic elegance of the lace, the illusion bodice, and the train. Seriously love this dress SO much!

Excellent selection and very bride focused owner, Kristina Bunn. Kristina and her staff are very knowledgeable and brides will sense quickly they care and work to achieve the special day dreamed of. I believe Imperial and Mrs. Bunn will deliver!

These ladies are so amazing at making you feel so special from the time you step into the shop until you leave. My Bridal appointment was awesome they helped me find exactly what I was looking for and even picked out dresses that fit my style on their own. I had my mother and 9 month old with me and they were even patient with her and tried playing with her! They are all so sweet & their dresses are all absolutely stunning. Kristina even gave us recommendations on where to eat afterwards since we were not familiar with the area & we drove 3 hours for this appointment! I would definitely recommend making an appointment here!!

I am blown away!! This was my first choice for a wedding dress shop, and after being further convinced by the reviews on google, I gave it a go. I found my dream dress within an hour, and the girls were so sweet and helpful. Thank y’all!!! If you’re reading this, this is your sign — FIND YOUR DRESS HERE!

THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! The moment I walked in the girls, Taylor and Kristina, we’re nothing but the best! They both created such a positive, fun, and exciting atmosphere. They truly helped me find the BEST DRESS!! The process was amazing, I was constantly given updates about my dress and when it would be ready. When I went to pick up my dress everyone at the shop continuously gave compliments, and they even helped me find shapewear for it. I can not recommend Imperial Formal more!! THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!
