Margaux is a true professional and thanks to her, Wildflower Bridal was the first and ONLY place I needed to shop to find my wedding dress.I reached out after my fiance and I set our wedding date, leaving us only 5.5 months to plan our big day from start to finish. I was VERY nervous as I had been told by multiple other bridal shops that I needed to start shopping 9-12 months in advance! ? Margaux assured me that if I came in within the next 2 weeks that I would have enough time to order a new made-to-order dress. She was flexible with scheduling and made sure I was able to get in for an appointment within that time frame.Before my appointment she sent a detailed questionnaire that really helped me put to words what I was looking for in a dress. She also requested a link to my Pinterest board so she could get a better feel for my personal taste.Upon arrival Margaux had music from my favorite band playing (a part of the questionnaire!) and had hand picked several dresses within my budget for me to try on. She absolutely nailed her pulls as they were all exactly what I said I was looking for, but after trying on about 8 different dresses, I was feeling uneasy having not truly loved how I looked or felt in my favorites thus far.That's when Margaux took all those little comments I made and body language hints I unknowingly gave throughout my appointment and ran them through her mental rolodex of dresses before turning around and on-the-fly pulling a dress that was buried in a rack behind her desk.✨ The dress was nothing like what I thought I wanted, but before I could even get it all the way on in the dressing room I started to get that "this is the one" feeling.The dress was sleeveless but Margaux knew that I was serious about wanting a long sleeved dress, so before I could even look at myself in the mirror she grabbed two detachable sleeves from another dress and threw them on my arms. That was exactly what I needed in that moment and seeing the dress with added sleeves made me totally confident that I didn't need to look any further. For several minutes I was so speechless at how different the dress was from what I thought I wanted, but Margaux was so kind and patient and gave me the time and space to absorb that feeling before prompting me to move into better light so she could take more pictures for me on my cell phone.Once decided, Margaux measured me, talked through which size she recommended I order, walked me through a detailed breakdown of the cost of and shipping timeline for my dress, and ensured that extra fabric and lace were being ordered from the manufacturer so that I could have sleeves made to match. Margaux also gave me a list of her recommended local seamstresses and helped me understand the likely cost of the alterations I was likely to need right there in her shop *before* I checked out.During my appointment I was never in or looking at a dress that was over my budget, never felt pressured to decide or buy, and always felt heard and supported whenever I had a question or asked for more information.As I awaited my dress' arrival, Margaux COULD NOT have been more communicative. Upon its on-time arrival, she helped me schedule a pickup appointment (around her own vacation!) so that I had time to try my dress on with a different set of detachable sleeves at my own request. Margaux's measurements and size recommendations were SPOT ON because straight out of the bag my dress fit like a glove and needed no sizing alterations.All in all, I couldn't have had a better experience. I went from thinking I would need to buy a used or ill-fitting off-the-rack dress to finding (and partially creating!) my unexpected dream dress! If it were not for Margaux's keen listening and observation skills I am certain I would have walked out of her shop empty handed and a lot more stressed. Don't hesitate to book an appointment at Wildflower - you will certainly not regret it! THANK YOU, MARGAUX!photos: MorningWild Photographyalterations: Susan Stowell Bridal Couture

Found my dream dress! Emily was so helpful during my appointment and gave me some great advice that ultimately lead me to choose my dress and feel confident in my decision. Margaux has been wonderful in the ordering process and in communicating after my appointment in getting the details squared away. If you want a unique and special wedding dress and a great purchasing experience you are in the right place.

AMAZING. From the initial email, to the relaxing, personal, and FUN time trying on dress, to choosing the dress of my dreams, I cannot recommend Margaux and Wildflower Bridal enough! I have been to several other bridal stores, and none of them even compare to Wildflower. First of all, I was the only one in the store and that really helped me relax and not compare myself to other besides. I loved how Margaux truly listened to me and got to know me as a person, and curated dressed based on how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. The experience trying on was so organized and relaxing - Margaux really has thought of everything through her organized, relaxed process - she is a PRO and seamlessly guides you through the whole experience. she even has a fan you can turn on to stay cool (I’ve been SO warm at other fittings). I loved how Margaux let me try on as many dresses as I wanted until I had top choices (honestly I liked every dress I tried on - she has such a great selection - so picking a top 5 was difficult). She asked thoughtful questions about each dress and helped me form opinions of what I liked. Then, I got to try on my top 5s again in another part of the store while she took photos with earrings, veils, etc at every angle. This really helped me envision myself on my wedding day & understand how the dress looked from every angle. Honestly, I had two other appointments booked for this week, but Margaux helped me find a dress I LOVE and feel so beautiful in, and I bought my dress & veil at Wildflower yesterday! I would recommend Wildflower to anyone, and cannot wait to return and pick up my beautiful dress! Thanks, again, Margaux!

Everything about my experience with Wildflower Bridal was helpful, fun, and considerate. Margaux's communication throughout the process gave guidance and clarity so I was prepared for my appointment and clear on next steps when I ordered my dress. During the appointment Margaux did an excellent job listening to what I thought I wanted and creatively providing those options and more. In the end, I found a beautiful dress that made me feel elegant and beautiful on my wedding day. I cannot recommend Wildflower Bridal more!

Emily & Margaux at Wildflower Bridal were fantastic to work with! They had preselected dresses for me based on a detailed questionnaire I filled out. They took my feedback about the dresses into consideration and helped guide to more dresses I may have liked. When I decided to say yes to the dress Margaux followed up in extensive detail answering any and all questions about potential alterations. Would highly recommend searching for your dress here!

I truly had the best experience at Wildflower! Prior to my appointment Margaux sent a detailed questionnaire for me to fill out so she could get an idea of what I was looking for and learn a little about me/my style. She even asked about the music I like to listen to. When my Mom and I arrived for our appointment we were the only customers in the store and there was a playlist of my favorite music playing! Margaux had picked out some dresses for me to try on and she NAILED it. Margaux was patient, very knowledgeable, and truly paid attention to not only what I said about each dress but my body language while wearing each dress. Originally, I didn’t want a veil, but changed my mind and Margaux tried on the veils and sent me pictures to make sure I was purchasing the correct veil since it had been several months since I had tried them on. I cannot recommend Wildflower more!! If you want a personalized wedding dress shopping experience, where you feel like you matter and you’re not just a number this is the place for you!

My big day was magical and I felt so beauitful, all thanks to Wildflower Bridal's exceptional service and stunning gowns. If you're a bride-to-be, trust me, this is the place to go!

Margaux picked out the perfect mother of the groom dress for me. After getting to know what sort of wedding it is going to be, and my preferences and size, she selected an array of gowns that were all gorgeous. She made getting into and out of the dresses easy; those zippers and little buttons at the top are always a pain to do solo. The shop itself is warm and inviting, full of beautiful gowns and jewelry. I cannot think of a better experience to have dress shopping!

Emily and Margaux at Wildflower Boutique exceeded all of my wedding dress shopping expectations. I was so nervous to begin this journey; however, I knew after I received my appointment confirmation email that I was in great hands. They immediately dove into questions regarding personal style, vision, and interests. They made the entire experience about who I am as a person, not just around the potential wedding dress I may buy. When I walked into my appointment, they sat down with me and my guests to go over the details I provided and double checked to make sure the budget was still correct. In the end, the dream dress chosen was one that Emily chose based off of our conversations and her empathetic and intuitive nature when she realized what I seemed the most comfortable in based off of my body language and facial expressions alone. I was so impressed with the candid and genuine nature as well as the expertise that was provided. Thank you so much for helping me find the dress of my dreams and for helping make me feel seen and valued during my time at Wildflower Bridal!

I had such an amazing experience at Wildflower with Margaux! I’m not a big shopper, and felt very overwhelmed when looking at dress options online. Making an appointment here was the best thing I could have done! Not only are there tons of absolutely beautiful gowns to choose from, but Margaux really goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and excited. From taking the time to get to know you before you even come in for your appointment to having some of your favorite music playing while trying on gowns. She is so good at reading your body launguage to tell how much you’re loving a certain style and guiding you seamlessly through the whole process so that it all feels way less stressful than I imagined it would! I was very unsure of what style I wanted to go with, but felt I was able to try on a great variety until I found the one. I also felt super comfortable going into the appointment because there was so much information given online that I really felt like I knew what to expect. The atmosphere in the shop is very boho and laid back, which I loved. To me, the fact that there are hardly any gowns over $3,000 was also great because that was right around my budget and I didn’t have to be worried I would fall in love with something that I couldn’t afford and leave disappointed. I would highly highly recommend making an appointment here!! Thank you Margaux so much for having us and making this such an easy process for me!

Wildflower Bridal was the first place I knew I wanted to go when I was ready to try on dresses. I had passed by the store many times and started following them on Instagram when I got engaged. The dresses looked stunning, the space looked inviting, and knowing that it was a female-owned small business all contributed to my desire to make an appointment. I was asked to fill out a brief questionnaire beforehand which I found incredibly helpful for homing in on what kind of style I was interested in and, most importantly, how I wanted to feel in the dress. All the options Margaux selected for me were beautiful and I felt very taken care of and supported throughout the process. She listened to me and offered advice and answered questions when I needed, and I just had a lovely time there. I also appreciated the intimate setting so it was just my mom and I with no other appointments happening simultaneously. I really appreciated the focus and attention dedicated to my experience. I found the perfect dress that I feel is exactly right for me and that I feel gorgeous in! Also, I came in with a budget and the combined cost of my dress and my veil totaled under that budget, which I was very pleased with. I highly recommend Wildflower Bridal for any bride looking to have a truly wonderful dress shopping experience.

This was the most fabulous, personalized experience.We drove from Knoxville: based off reviews and research, I knew this was my shop.I have been to many boutique and franchise bridal shops. This was my first experience as a bride. Margaux and Emily worked to tweak every aspect of the experience. It was so intimate, and catered exactly to my taste (down to the music in the shop).Every item presented to me was within budget, no weaseling higher priced items in.I felt like the goal was not to "make a sale" but to help truly find the perfect gown for my day. (which, I will absolutely be purchasing here!)The space was welcoming, the consultants made me feel comfortable and free of judgement right away.The one-on-one was to the next level, with the shop being reserved just for my party.Will recommend this boutique to anyone getting married. The attention to detail is an unmatched, luxury tier experience with moderately priced dresses (under 3.5k)This is the type of experience I would have expected at a 10-15k boutique.Incredible business model.
