I had SUCH a wonderful experience at Fairytale Brides! Missy was absolutely amazing-- she really listened to what I was looking for and helped me find the PERFECT dress! She was so knowledgable, helpful, and patient and really gave her honest opinion. This is a great place to shop for a wedding dress and it is so much more meaningful knowing that it is run by volunteers and proceeds are donated to charity!

Pam was really nice and allowed me to look around the store for my dress. Even though I wasn't able to find the one, she was very helpful with thoughts, ideas, and listening to my ideas and concerns. I would recommend everyone go to check out Fairytale Bridal to see if their dream dress is there! I love their buisness motto too!

As a petite woman, finding a dress that doesn't require a lot of alterations is difficult. At this non-profit and volunteer-based store, I was able to find and try on a few dresses in the smaller sizes 0-6. Missy, my bridal consultant, was very knowledgeable and patient. Would recommend them for their customer service and affordable prices!

I had scheduled an appointment several weeks prior to the weekend my maid of honor was coming into town for dress shopping. I realized about a week before that she would be coming in after my scheduled appointment at Fairytale Brides. I reached out and asked if they had any appointments available later in the weekend. They offered me one 3 hours later than my original appointment, which I confirmed would work and that we would arrive for. Fast forward to the appointment, we drive over an hour to the location, arrive 15 minutes before my appointment and the shop is completely dark and the door was locked. We went and grabbed some coffee to kill time, then returned at the appointment time. The shop was still dark and locked. I called the number and left a voicemail and also sent an email to Leah. We waited 30 minutes past the appointment to see if anyone would show up or respond to us, but they did not. Extremely disappointed, we left and drove the hour back home, an afternoon completely wasted. Eventually Leah responded via email to say that two people had showed up to an appointment time earlier and there must have been confusion. I'm sorry, but that's not much of an excuse- did they not ask for the name of this mystery appointment and confirm that it was not me? Even though we were really put off by the events, I still held out hope that I could have a fruitful appointment with Fairytale Brides. I emailed again to ask if there was any chance of getting in at another time this weekend, since my maid of honor was only in town until Sunday. Leah never responded to my request and at no point did anyone ever apologize for not being there for our scheduled appointment. I would not recommend this bridal salon under any circumstances. Completely unprofessional.

My experience at Fairytale Brides was amazing. The customer service was great and they were very accommodating. I had an appointment with Missy who was incredibly sweet and helpful. A few weeks later I called to see if a dress I had was still available and the volunteer who was getting ready to leave searched for it and allowed me to come in and try it on one more time before purchasing. Highly recommend!!!!

Came in last week and had a wonderful experience with Pam's help. I'd been stressing about shopping for a dress but had a great time and found a gown I love. It was almost too easy.

What an amazing experience! The volunteers are so sweet and helpful and I was able to try on soooo many more dresses than I would have been able to at another store. I love the concept and the execution! Do yourself a favor and go here.

This trendy boutique was the first stop of 4 boutiques in our bridal journey. Melissa, affectionately known as Missy, was our consultant. She was knowledgeable, friendly, comforting, honest, sincere, and completely perfect. The selection of dresses were limited, as they are donated, but we were able to find several bridal gowns that were strong contenders. It was our first store so we continued our tour to the remaining appointments with great enthusiasm. All the subsequent shops were adequate but they didn't have Missy or her infectious smile. At the end, we all compared the rest to Missy and her positive attitude and we returned and found the perfect wedding dress. I highly recommend Fairytale Brides on a Shoestring to any one in search of their dream dress. Bonus: we were wayyyy under budget! -Mother of the Bride

I had an amazing experience with Brianna this past weekend. She was very attentive, kind, and considerate. I found an incredible dress that I am so excited to wear on my big day. I am so happy that this store exists and for all the volunteers who generously donate their time to providing wonderful and memorable experiences.Edit to add pictures from my special day! I got so many compliments on my dress and it felt like a dream!

Fairytale was the first stop on a 4 store experience for a wedding dress. Missy shared her expertise, recommendations and enthusiasm with our group! We returned for a 2nd try on of a gown, just to be sure. It is perfect! We were able to walk out of the store for ~$500 with a unique, gorgeous dress.Missy’s infectious attitude empowered our decisions at the following stores. Her knowledge was unmatched by any other bridal consultant we encountered. I would highly recommend Fairytale (& Missy) as a first stop for any bride looking for a sustainable, charitable option for their wedding!

This boutique helped me find my dream dress - pictures to come from the wedding soon - and then sent this wonderful "bride to be" box from their raffle! I would recommend this boutique to anyone and everyone, happily! ❤️

Here to write a gushing review for both the store and for Missy! This was the first place I ever went to try on dresses, and walked out with a dress I am so excited to wear. Missy was kind, attentive, helpful, and generally such a ray of sunshine and enthusiasm. There weren't an overwhelming number of options for my size (bridal size 8ish), but I still found a handful of dresses I was excited to try on. And the fact that proceeds are donated to charity? Cherry on top. Would recommend this store to everyone without reservations!

Missy was so wonderful to work with. This was the best experience I've had dress shopping. Zero pressure, really fun, a lot of care and really understanding my vision, budget, and timeline. Highly recommend to anyone shopping for a dress! Plus the prices are hard to beat!

The people who run this place are wonderful, but the selection left a lot to want for (because I wanted something slightly more modest/with sleeves). The prices were also a lot steeper than I expected considering the gowns are donations/gently used. But I think they've got tons of styles to suit other brides.
