The absolute best wedding dress shopping experience I had, and I can't recommend this place enough!
Before Malinda, I had gone to several different other locations around Boston... one was pretty good and had some decent dresses, one couldn't care less that I was trying to buy a wedding dress and largely left me to figure it out alone, and then the rest were similarly mediocre experiences and just weren't the quality of dresses I was looking for (they felt more like prom dresses). I didn't fall in love with dresses at any of these places, and trying to wade through options to find something okayish was frustrating and I often felt pressure to figure it out already.
But the experience at Your Dream Bridal with Malinda was so incredibly positive and stress free. There was no rush, no impatience, just thoughtful questions to help guide me and genuine support and enthusiasm while I tried different dresses. You get the place to yourself and her undivided attention. Malinda is so good at getting a sense of you and your style that it didn't take her long to zero in on a few winners for me. She actually helped me combine two dresses since I loved the skirt on one and the bodice on the other and it was possible to order the one dress as just a skirt to layer over the other dress and truly create my dream dress. I was beyond thrilled with my dress and every interaction/part of the process with Malinda. You won't find a better wedding dress shop or experience than Your Dream Bridal with Malinda

I highly, highly recommend Malinda and Your Dream Bridal as your ideal wedding dress shopping experience. It was my first time dress shopping and it could not have been more seamless or enjoyable with Malinda. With the whole boutique to yourself, you don’t feel rushed, and Malinda works with you from scratch with a very logical approach to find what style, texture, and vibe works best for you. She was honest, supportive, positive, and so helpful - both in finding the right dress but also in providing you a thorough education of how to find the right one and what to look for. I highly recommend this shop and working with Malinda for an amazing experience!!

BOSTON AREA BRIDES! I would absolutely recommend going to Your Dream Bridal to look for your wedding dress. Malinda has such an amazing collection of gowns in a variety of styles and helps curate a group for you to try on based on your feedback and what you're interested in. The appointments are private so you get individualized attention and she helps you get into the dresses in a dressing room before wearing them out for your guests to see (if you'd like). She also is so good about explaining the details of the dress, talking through customization options, and is transparent about the pricing. I think I tried on around 15 dresses and Malinda really helped me figure out what the aspects of each dress that I liked were and why I preferred certain dresses over others, and she used that feedback to find other dresses for me to try and then she ended up finding me the perfect dress! She also didn't try to sway or influence any of my opinions and didn't make me feel any kind of pressure! It was the perfect, personal, thoughtful experience that helped make something overwhelming feel organized, comfortable, and fun! Plus, her whole collection and the shop itself are so beautiful. You can tell she's so passionate about this work.

Malinda has been extremely helpful and supportive throughout the wedding dress shopping experience. She was able to identify exactly what I wanted, and work with me to make sure that my dress matched my vision. She has also been communicative and helpful as I have waited for my dress to arrive! I highly recommend her.

Malinda is absolutely amazing and so gracious! I adored her dresses but my budget was limited, so she was able to find me a sample dress from Suzanne Neville (I fell in love with the designer) that suited me. The dress wasn't a 100% fit, but she was able to find extra fabric for me and a recommended tailor that still fit within my budget. Very grateful for the 1:1 experience and bespoke support - thank you Malinda!

Melinda is the best of the best. Visiting her store and experiencing the level of knowledge she has is truly a unique experience. When I met Melinda, I had already been shopping at quite a few, well-known stores in Boston. Those experiences were rushed and pressure-filled, lacking the personalized expertise that Melinda is able to enthusiastically provide. She genuinely cares and wants her clients to be completely satisfied. She went above and beyond anything else I had experienced elsewhere, including customized measuring to ensure correct proportions. She messaged designers while I was there to confirm design details and ensure speedy delivery. I left feeling secure in my decision and excited to see her again when my dress arrives. She is un-matched and I couldn't recommend more!

Malinda is truly the best of the best! I went to Your Dream Bridal after one other appointment to try on dresses. Malinda and her store were a breath of fresh air! She took the time to really hone in on what I wanted and helped break down the process of choosing a dress. Prior to my appointment, Malinda reached out with a style quiz and lots of information to prepare me for my appointment. She even asked for my Pinterest board of dream dresses! As soon as I got to the store, I could tell she really read through everything I filled out because she knew exactly what to pull.
My parents and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Malinda. I felt so comfortable and reassured. She asked me the perfect questions to help sort through my feelings on each dress I tried (which was no small feat because her inventory is STUNNING!). Not once did I feel pressured to make a decision right then and there. However, Malinda made it happen! She truly is a professional that knows exactly what she’s doing. I couldn’t be happier with my experience or my dream dress! Thank you, Malinda!

After going to shops in multiple parts of the country, this was by far the best one. The dresses and designers are very carefully selected by the extremely knowledgeable owner - none of the other stylists or owners I worked with came close to her level of detail and knowledge. You are very much in good hands with her! She is also very honest and treats you with nothing but respect, both of which are refreshing changes after everything else my fiancé and I have been through during wedding planning. I am so excited to recommend her and her shop to my other friends getting married.

Such an amazing experience! Malinda is fantastic and her shop is gorgeous. I loved how it was a 1 on 1 experience with the shop owner and the bride-to-be, it made the whole experience so enjoyable and I didn't feel like I was being rushed. She has such a great selection of dresses and everything she pulled for me was exactly what I shared I was looking for. I am beyond obsessed with my dress and it is everything and more than what I envisioned for my day!

Malinda was so helpful and encouraging throughout the process. I was heavily leaning towards one dress by a designer that she has a very strong relationship with and so after trying that dress on in a different store, I decided to pay her a visit. We spent the whole appointment confirming and affirming that dress was the right one for me. And we played with different fabrics, textures, and accessories to really make the dress feel like it was the one.

Malinda fostered a wonderful experience dress shopping for myself and my family/friends that came along! Her shop and dresses are absolutely beautiful, complemented with a private and personal appointment - being the only bride in the store made it really special and intimate. She is a true expert when it comes to wedding dresses. She was so helpful in guiding me through different types of dresses I was drawn to, helping me understand what aspect I appreciated in each dress I tried on, leading me to realize/decide what type of dress I loved/was best for me!
