I got my wedding dress at the Chicago BHLDN in February and had a fantastic experience. My mom and two friends came with and it was so much fun. The stylist was extremely helpful and sweet. I also had an issue with my order following the appointment and the staff was so kind and easy to work with. My dress was one of my favorite parts of my wedding day and I'm so thankful for BHLDN!

First off, I want to say that the service and the lady who helped me try on the dresses was super nice and no way a reflection on the review. This is just purely on the selection of dresses and quality.That being said, the quality of the dresses were awful. Although they are samples some of them were hard to envision as “the dress” when there are literal tears on the bodice, missing embellishments, and stains. Not to mention, most of them were poorly constructed without proper boning and thin material. I was super shocked to find that the dresses I looked at were between $1500-2000. Very overpriced for the quality and you 1. have to order online based on the measurements they give you and 2. They do not offer tailoring on top of the price you pay.The other mention is their stock. There weren’t many dresses to choose from and was disappointed that a lot of the cuter ones I saw on their website were not available. For the quality and price you are better off finding a small business at a reasonable price point that actually puts care into the dress - rather than something that was sloppily pumped out of a factory.

The selection was decent, my stylists were very nice. Some of the prices seemed off for the quality of some of the dresses.Honestly my experience was not awesome mainly because I was a very uncomfortable that the stylists would not offer to leave the room while I changed from dress to dress. I know its totally fine to do this, but they didn't ask what I would be comfortable with and its always been my experience since looking for dresses that stylists/consultants wait outside until dress is on and then they help button it/zip up. I didn't speak up about it, but likely should have I just assumed they would leave. This really soured my experience since I was so caught off guard and felt that I was being a bit smothered without a moment alone, and also did not have any privacy to change.

Beautiful store but you need an appointment to try on any wedding dress here (which was not specified prior). My family flew in for the weekend to go dress shopping with me and this was on of our stops which turned out to be a total bust. Extremely disappointed.

I had an appointment to try on wedding dresses at this Anthropologie and had the privilege of being styled by Sylvia. If you're unsure what you're looking for, Sylvia will be your ultimate hype woman. Her energy and attention will make you feel like you're the most beautiful bride in the room even before the first dress goes on. She was absolutely amazing to work with. Thank you, Sylvia!

I had the the best experience with zero stress because of Rachel. She was so helpful with finding me a last minute dress in store and going above and beyond finding my sizes online. It couldn’t have gone better

Getting my wedding dress at BHLDN was an absolute dream!! I set up an appointment ahead of time. Loved the intimate fitting room, and the complimentary sparkling wine & water. The entire store was beautiful, I could have shopped for hours. Becca was very kind and attentive, and didn’t pressure me at all to purchase anything. I would recommend every bride to go to BHLDN to feel like a queen!

I had a great experience at this BHLDN location last weekend. My stylist, Jax, went above and beyond to find me a dress that was within my budget, and fits my style and vibe of the wedding. She recommended a dress I never would have chosen for myself and it ended up being the ONE! It took less than a week to receive my dress and I'm in love!

I went wedding dress shopping this past weekend and had a fantastic experience! I worked with Jax who helped me find the perfect dresses. 5/5 experience! Thank you, Jax for helping me find the perfect dress for such a special day! Jax helped me find dresses that I would not have picked out for myself and I LOVED them! Cannot say enough positive things about BHLDN, Jax and the BHLDN team. Thank you!

My appointment yesterday was wonderful and I found the most beautiful dress! My stylist, Jax, was so helpful and made sure everything went smoothly. We tried on 5-6 dresses before finding the ONE and it’s more perfect than I ever could have imagined. Such a fun and memorable experience! Thank you, Jax! ?

I had a fantastic experience at BHLDN! I ended up visiting twice and both Monica and Angela were so helpful and great to work with. With their help, I picked a beautiful dress and couldn't be happier with the service and the salon.

Wow, this was my first visit to a bridal salon, and it was spectacular. My stylist was Monica, and she made me feel incredible. I narrowed my choices to three dresses but could not decide. She also gave excellent advice on my timeliness and, most importantly, the timeline for alterations. I especially loved that she had a list of partners that could do the alterations ready with my list of 3 dresses. Nice touch with the Sparkling wine....so cute. Thanks Monica I may see you soon. You set the bar high.

I came in from out of town on 1/8 for a bridal appointment - my first one, with the hope it would be my only. I was very nervous going into the appointment because as someone who's very short, plus-sized, and has a full bust, wedding dresses usually aren't designed with bodies like mine in mind. I expected to end up trying on things that made me feel bad, or to have few dresses that would come in my size. Or worse, I was worried that the stylist would be rude or get impatient with me, since I've heard horror stories like that from brides with not-so-super-model-like figures.I was assisted by Sophia (Sofia?) and a trainee whose name I'm afraid I didn't catch. They were both fantastic - super friendly and positive (including body positive/neutral), very knowledgable, and extremely helpful. I was lucky that they had samples of all the dresses I mentioned being interested in on their booking form. Sophia also encouraged me to look around the gallery and grab anything else that caught my eye, and I'm really, really glad I did, because the dress I ended up choosing wasn't in my initial list. I'm absolutely in love with it - I hope she and the trainee get good commission!The only critique I'd offer is that for bridal, you check in on the first floor and then are told to go upstairs. While the check-in person radios the team to let them know you're there, they don't tell you where to go or who to talk to once you get to the second floor, and there's no desk or anything - it's just the gallery and fitting rooms. It'd be nice if there was someone obvious to talk to or an obvious place to wait, since it was a bit confusing to just be standing around wondering what we were supposed to do.
