“After visiting several bridal shops without finding “the one,” I stumbled across Laine London on Instagram and was instantly intrigued by their concept - wedding dresses for rent. Learning that one of the owners was Black made the experience feel even more personal and meaningful, it wasn’t a requirement, but it was a beautiful bonus.
From the moment I walked in, the experience was different, in the best way. Lundyn, one of the owners, greeted me with the kind of warmth and energy that felt like shopping with a close friend. Before my appointment, I had shared my Pinterest and Instagram inspiration, and she had dresses pulled and ready based on my vision. After trying on a few, we both realized we needed to pivot. That’s when Lundyn disappeared into the back and returned with the dress. It didn’t fit but that didn’t stop her. She checked availability, and it turned out the dress could be purchased. Long story short: it was ordered.
I was paired with Sonal, the sweetest seamstress, who made sure every detail was tailored to perfection. After a few fittings, I flew to Montreal and walked down the aisle in the dress of my dreams. I even referred a colleague who found her perfect dress there too.
Looking back at our wedding photos, I’m still in awe of how beautifully the dress sparkled and complemented the entire vision...from the European charm of Montreal to our historic venue’s modern and unique elegance and the love that filled the room. It’s true what they say: when you find the one, you just know.
Thank you, Laine London - Lundyn, Sonal and Miriam, for helping me find my one. You made a magical day even more unforgettable!”
“I bought my dress with Lauren’s help. She was WONDERFUL! Patient, calm, kind. She listened to what I wanted. She is so sweet and made me feel comfortable and not rushed or pressured in any way. She went above and beyond even helping me connect with the Sue in alterations next door. Thank you Lauren!”
“The employees at sweet elegance bridal were amazing! They were super accommodating and helped me choose my perfect dress! I would recommend bridal dress shopping here!”
“My friends and I had a wonderful time shopping for my Mother of the Groom dress at the new Formally Yours location at the Forum in Peachtree Corners. It was easy to schedule an appointment, and I really enjoyed the personalized shopping experience. They had a great selection, and I found the perfect dress for my son's May wedding in Charleston! I highly recommend Formally Yours for your wedding and Mother of the Bride and Groom dresses.”
“Such wonderful experience here!!! Kelly and Kassia were so welcoming even though me and my group were running super late.
Such a stellar collection of super unique dresses and accessories. Highly recommend!!!”
“Colleen was amazing to work with! She helped me with dress alterations for my wedding! My dress was Eve of My Lady. She is the sweetest person ever!!!! And the most talented!!! She seriously fixed my dress into everything I wanted. She is great! She makes you feel comfortable and confident! I highly recommend her!!!!❤️”
“My groom and I used Berty in Grayson for our wedding attire and she did not disappoint! Such a bubbly and friendly personality! She did exceptionally well altering my gown and adding special touches to my husband’s suit. She’s quick and professional. Highly recommend !”
“It’s all in the details! Our guests noticed and complimented so many of the many details woven throughout our wedding weekend thanks to the highly creative team at Paper Daisies. We truly couldn’t recommend Becky and the Paper Daisies team more favorably! They were by far our favorite vendor team that we worked with throughout our wedding planning, as they made the design process so enjoyable! Becky was very knowledgeable and upfront about timelines and ensured we stayed on track throughout the creative process. We were so impressed by how quickly she was able to take our ideas on paper and make them come to life in a way that embodied perfectly our vision- she is incredibly good at what she does! We used Paper Daisies for so many elements of our wedding weekend from signage, table numbers, cocktail napkins and stirrers, menu cards, stickers for favors and welcome bags, ceremony cards, thank you notes, save the dates and our wedding invitation suite. Having Paper Daisies touch so many aspects of our wedding created a comprehensive and beautiful aesthetic. The details truly are what made our day extra special as they were a perfect expression of us as a couple. We intend to use Paper Daisies in the future and this team has our utmost highest recommendation!”
“Exceptional customer service and professionalism! I wore my Tiffany bracelet and Pandora ring in the water while on vacation, and they developed a bluish tint, something I had never experienced before. I brought both pieces here, and they cleaned them beautifully. Within a week, I picked them up and they looked as good as new. I highly recommend this place for quality care and expert service.”
“Our mother is getting married again after many years so we wanted to provide her with an experience she's never had before. We thought a personalized dress styling and fitting session would be ideal. I completed a Google search and Sweet Magnolia Bridal came up. Once I reviewed the website and found she offers a Royal Bridal styling experience for a small fee, I took that as a sign to book an appointment. Our family are New Orleans natives and we called our Gram Magnolia so all the approvals were there. Sweet Magnolia is also a black owned business which I believe strongly in supporting and uplifting our community. The website was easy to navigate and answered any questions you may have about services/products offered.
When the day of our appointment arrived, we had no issues finding the location is Norcross. There was plenty of parking. We were a little early however Cindy J's lovely daughter came out to confirm we were in the correct place. I'd like to say her name is CoCo but please forgive me if I'm incorrect. Then, Cindy welcomed us in, provided a variety of beverages, and explained the process and set expectations for the Bridal experience session. She asked us to visit the back of the boutique to pick out a few dresses while sipping our beverages of choice. Cindy J's daughter kept the laughs and conversation going as well as our glasses full through the experience. My sisters and I went back to the front after providing our dress selection to allow Cindy and our mom time for the big reveal. Our mom tried on 3 dresses that we voted on each time. No dress scored below a 7 for us. This speaks volumes regarding the selections offered. Dress #2 made our mother light up and captured who she is to the fullest. Cindy J and her daughter made mom feel beautiful throughout the visit by offering a one of a kind experience. Thank you for creating a magical experience for our bride to be and I look forward to referring customers to you in the future!”
“This place is a wonderland! I came with my mother, and we had such a good time finding what we needed. We were greeted at the door and offered help, and the staff were so kind and helpful. Will be coming back again!!”

“My husband and I had the pleasure to work with this company for our wedding needs Brandy help me find both of my dresses. My wedding gown and reception dress.

“Wedding planning has been stressful, but this was the easiest and friendliest part so far. My fiancee had discovered this place while trying to get information about an engagement ring last year. Brett talked him through options, was very honest, and super helpful.
So of course as we were searching for a place to purchase a wedding band, Decatur City Jewelers was our first choice. Brett gave us an honest perspective on what would be the best choice for my engagement ring. We were looking at a couple bands, and then he said he had a cool one in the back and came out with the perfect ring. He gave us a great price and it was literally such a simple process. He also cleaned my engagement ring and told us more about the history of the ring. It was so cool.
And then my fiancee needed his grandfather's wedding band sized to his finger. Brett let us watch the whole process which was super interesting! He was honest about this process and what could happen, and it did end up breaking. However, Brett got in there and fixed it right up. You can't even tell! It looks perfect and even fits his hard-to-size finger.
I am so happy we came here instead of some chain jewelry store. I didn't feel like I was being tricked or scammed here. It was a friendly environment. It is obvious that Brett knows what he's doing and he was kind and informative throughout the process.”
“We used Name Maker to purchase ribbons to be used for a family members memorial service and I'm so thankful I ended up going with them. Since I needed my order to be expedited, I ended up calling them rather than placing the order online which was so refreshing to have a live person to ask questions and go through the order completely. I was met with the most exceptional service from Kelly every step of the way. I'm still just blown away on how much the team at Name Maker made this all happen for us.I initially placed an order for a white ribbon with silver cursive lettering but within hours, I received a call from her saying that production had started the order and had concerns about the legibility of the lettering. Without even asking, Kelly sent me photos of what I had ordered and an alternative lettering in dark gray. It was obvious what I ordered was not the vision I had described to her so I appreciated the extra effort to contact me and work with me so I was happy with the final product.Every step of the way, I was notified via email once my order was placed, completed/shipped and even delivered. In my families time of sorrow, I felt so grateful for the extra guidance and extra hands it took to get a product that I was not only happy with but a product that I know many loved ones can cherish for many years to come. Thank you Kelly and the production team for all your help and the extra effort you made to ensure we got a product that we’d love. I'm a huge crafter so I know this will not be the last time I order from Name Maker. Thank you again, Name Maker Team!”

“Beautiful event space. Good parking with a few handicap spaces, no ramp but no more than 5-6 steps. Off the beaten path so traffic to deal with getting in or out and more important NOT IN ATLANTA! Everybody doesn't want to go to Atlanta...ugh. ? I digress. Nice venue beautifully decorated, very spacious and clean restrooms.”
“I had the best experience at Francos Bridal. From the moment I walked in, staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. They helped my niece find the perfect dress for her special day!”
