Alisha was absolutely great. She is attentive and makes sure to suggest things to clients based on their wants and budget. She is also really fun so she made the dress search process enjoyable.I bought my wedding dress from Alisha, and knowing that I also wanted to do custom sleeves, she was able to work with me to get fabric that matched my dress. She also recommended me to the woman who tailored my dress and was absolutely fantastic.Thank you, Alisha for the great customer service and for the absolutely beautiful dress!

I’m here to say that if you are looking for a dress in Gainesville DO NOT hesitate to visit The Wedding Cycle! I had a few bad experiences and have a week till my wedding….Gretchen went above and beyond to make this an amazing experience for me! I truly cannot express how grateful I am to have come across them especially after some not so great dress shopping experiences!!!!

After reading the long list of great reviews, I decided to make an appointment at the wedding cycle to find my dress. As soon as me, and my family walked in we were made to feel at home. Gretchen worked patiently with me to find my dream dress. We laughed together and cried together until I found the dress I said yes to. Gretchen was a delight and made the whole experience so much more comfortable, especially as I am particularly shy and I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted. I am so thrilled to have found this place! Before you go to some big box store, check this place out!

I loved seeing Alisha because of her I was able to have my say “Yes to the dress” experience! She was so much fun and outgoing and she was very knowledgeable about what would work and what wouldn’t work for me. I actually ended up getting the challenge dress a dress I never would have picked out. I definitely recommend going to her. What a blast and she had a plethora of dresses to choose from. She was worth the drive from Ocala to Gainesville.

I’ve hated the entire process of finding a dress until now. This place is a hidden gem in Gainesville I highly recommend, the wedding cycle saved me from the horrors and regrets of realizing I didn’t like my wedding dress too late in the game! Being less than 5 months from the wedding and having no time to order a new dress, I was so afraid I wouldn’t find anything else until I stumbled upon the wedding cycle. I was blown away by their service and beautiful and unique collection of dresses! Gretch was amazing and challenged me to expand myself in dress styles, helping me discover my love for THE perfect dress I never would’ve found on my own! She was so genuine, kind, encouraging and patient with me. She made me feel like I was her top priority. This was such a pleasant experience and they really make you feel valued. You get one on one attention and assistance into these dresses as well as the whole place to yourself to explore the amazing dress collection unlike any other bridal shop I’ve been to. I cannot rave enough about how great this place is! They also offer good recommendations for alterations - I only wish I knew about the wedding cycle sooner!

Absolutely blown away by how amazing this shop is. Leesha the owner made me feel right at home. As a plus size bride I was concerned nothing would fit but she made me feel so hot and like I could wear any dress in the store. It was my first time trying on dresses, I had some ideas of what I wanted in a dress but Ive never worn a real gown so I was open to her suggestions. She gave me options that reflected what I felt I wanted and then gave me some wildcards and I ended up choosing one of the wildcards. She knows her dresses and what works best on different body types she’s also super great at reading your face and telling when you’re not happy with things and figuring out what exactly made you unhappy. It was the best experience I could imagine. Definitely go here for your dress needs.

Gretchen is wonderful! Her expertise was so helpful. She found me the perfect dress. I was nervous about shopping for dresses in general, but my experience at the Wedding Cycle was amazing.

This was THE BEST experience. Skip the fancy chain bridal boutiques and come here first. Alisha was AMAZING, she made me feel at peace from the moment we walked in. She’s not at all salesman-ish, she made me feel like I was genuinely cared about. I found the most beautiful dress. Truly the dress of my dreams in a quality brand for a fraction of the price I would have paid from a chain store. I cannot say enough about my experience and will recommend to all the future brides I know!

Let me just say this, THIS IS THE PLACE YOU NEED TO GET YOUR DRESS FROM. I couldn’t be more excited about my dress I found and also my experience with Alisha. Alisha is the best person and her personality just makes you feel so welcomed. Her experience is phenomenal. I’m so glad I found this shop.

Very glad I went to The Wedding Cycle! Gretchen was so warm and welcoming which made me comfortable right away. Her attention to detail in what we discussed made the appointment go so smoothly (she was also the best hype-woman). By the end of the visit I had the perfect dress and recommendations to local vendors in the area. I left feeling really cared for. Top to bottom just an awesome experience with high quality dresses. I can’t recommend them enough!

I cannot say enough good things about alisha!!!! I ordered a dress from another store, it came in 3 months before my wedding and I did not love it. I went the next day to start over dress shopping- the wedding cycle was my first and last stop!! She is so kind, so comfortable, so knowledgeable, and she cares so much for you. She helped me find the perfect dress, referred me to Suns Sewing Shop (high springs), and continued to even work with me there to help bring my vision to life. Love love love her!!!Photographer is Barbara Ann Photography located in Gainesville :)

Well all I have to say is that Alisha is amazing, you feel comfortable with her like your with a best friend. I first went to her shop back in March I found a dress I loved and ordered it right away. Since March our wedding plans have changed to an element. I didn’t want to tell her but I was thinking the dress was to big to take to Hawaii, and I was going to sell it. As soon as I got there to pick up the dress I explained to her what was going on. She encouraged me to try the dress on again I fell in love with the dress all over again. She spent so much time showing me the alterations that can be done to make this dress easier for me to wear. She even showed me how to put on a vail if I have to do it myself! Very kind and attentive!! Best of the Best she loves what she does and it shows!!

This place deserves 10 stars. My experience here compared to DB two hours prior, was a night & day difference. At DB, I tried on the basic cookie cutter dresses, my appointment was rushed, I settled on a dress I wasn’t crazy about and I was beyond uncomfortable. My mom convinced me to get a second option and try out a boutique and I’m still thanking God she did. Mrs. Alicia the owner & sweet Mrs. Gretchen were more than everything I dreamed of. They took a solid 20 minutes just getting to know me and my party. I felt immediately welcomed with open arms & these two strangers made it so intimate. Alicia soaked in my personality, my interests, my dreams of a wedding and worked her magic. She picked out dresses I never would’ve looked twice at and then had Mrs. Gretchen help me in and out of them so my party could just enjoy rather than dressing me. THE MOST MAGICAL EXPERIENCE is an understatement. These are one of a kind dresses, once I have never seen nor similar to (including the reviews of other girls who bought dresses here). The dress I said yes to, is literally myself as a dress which is exactly what Mrs. Alicia promised me in the beginning she would make happen! I cannot thank these ladies & this incredible boutique for this unforgettable experience. Choosing a wedding dress is once in lifetime milestone and I am beyond grateful it was here at The Wedding Cycle.
