I brought my wedding dress in January to Ava's Bridal where I was met by Tammy who was my seamstress. Fast forward to the end of February when I pick up my dress and bring it home. When I got home I bought a steamer and steamed my dress and discovered multiple areas of damage to the dress. Within 24 hours of picking up my dress I sent them pictures of the damaged spots. Sue personally called me (which was very nice) within 24 hours of my message. She stated Tammy said the damage had been there since my first appointment back in January but didn't say anything because she assumed I knew. The first lesson I learned as an adult was never to assume. I think thats really bad business practice to not speak up about damage to a dress you will be working on. So now it's my word against the seamstress as to whether or not the damage was there or not. Sue did offer me to bring the dress back to look at it together, but at the end of the day, I have a damaged dress and I spent almost $900 to have it altered at this location. Moral of the story - look over your dress meticulously before they do any work to it, because at the end of the day it is your word against theirs.

Superb service! Just spent the afternoon with Sue and felt welcomed and that she answered all our questions. She had a full rack of dresses ready to go based on what my daughter requested. Gave one on one attention the whole time and patiently worked with her on ideas to make it custom. Excellent experience!!!!

Ava’a Bridal was one of my favorite experience during my wedding planning process. Sue and Tammy are the sweetest souls and SO easy to work with. After a not great experience at a place I won’t name, I stumbled upon Avas bridal and decided to check it out. I was a little hesitant with having to place a deposit, and it going to “waste” if I didn’t say yes to the dress, however after speaking with Sue and having my appointment, she deserves that deposit for all the work she puts in on the backend to make sure your first appointment is perfect for YOU! ( I would recommend going to other stores to get an idea of what you like first, then make Avas your second shop and place to say YES to the dress… the deposit then goes towards your dress payment!!)Sue was the most welcoming and friendly… she made my entire (large) group feel so special and that their opinions mattered. Her method of you and your party being able to hand pick your dresses (after she’s already pulled some for you based on previous convos), to narrowing it down to your top 3-4, to playing “tennis” and taking plenty of pics and videos to look over and make sure your liking it from every angle….. she realllly knows what’s she’s doing! So smooth!I went into the appointment certain on one dress, found myself in love with two completely different dresses, and she gave me the idea to add a slit to my top dress to get the best of both worlds!Two days before we left the country for our wedding, I realized I did not get my dress bustled and reached out to Sue panicking. (Total mush brain thinking I was changing dresses so didn’t need it… def did for the first dances). Sue had me drop off the dress first thing the next morning, and she personally bustled my dress in between her own busy schedule and had it finished for me by the end of the day so I could fly out bright and early Saturday. She even made a VIDEO showing me and my bridesmaids exactly how to find the buttons and bustle when we were in a crunch!!! WHAT AN ANGEL!Seriously though, I could not recommend Ava’s Bridal more. The fact that you can find your dream dress and get it altered in one shop…. Such a relief!!! One of the best experiences ever and will forever and always shout my love for Ava’s Bridal from the rooftops!!

Sue has been a lifesaver! She really took the time to learn what I was looking for prior to my appointment. Unlike a lot of bridal stores in the area, Ava’s charges an appointment deposit. Let me tell you- it’s more than worth it! The amount of time Sue and her team put into each bride before you even step into the store shows. I'd been to other bridal salons, but the level of service at Ava’s can't be beat. They make you feel like THE bride instead of just a bride. If you’re looking for a one of a kind personalized service, Ava’s is the place for you!

Ava’s Bridal is exactly what you’re looking for!!To any bride that may be nervous, not know exactly what they want, needs support( or Sue, the absolute BEST HYPE MAN!), Ava’s Bridal truly offers a one of a kind experience. From the very beginning to the last alterations appointment I was treated like a QUEEN. Sue and Tammy are by far the most professional and knowledgeable wedding dress boutique that I have experienced. And before Ava’s, I had seen a few… or 5. There were many times I thought to myself, WOW do they do this for everyone, or is it just me?? Either way, I was impressed and felt truly supported. I had a team of ladies that listened to every detail and change I wanted.. which were many, and they never once hesitated to adjust and above all MAKE IT HAPPEN. It’s like there are no obstacles when you are working with Ava’s Bridal! Seriously! You plan on losing weight? They will tailor the dress to your body! You want the back lowered? No problem! You want a slit? A higher slit? Say no more!!Ava’s Bridal is without a doubt the only wedding dress boutique you need to consider. If you are looking to feel pampered, catered to, and want a truly one of a kind experience, then schedule a visit with Sue at Ava’s Bridal!! ❤️❤️❤️

The process was so easy and at a fair cost!I found Ava's after I already purchased my wedding dress and I was researching about alterations. I had a lot of beadwork on the top half of my dress and was nervous about selecting a good seamstress who wouldn't mess it up. I started watching the educational information Ava's provides on Youtube and I knew they were the right fit.The whole process was so easy. I was able to get an appointment and work with Tammy on the alterations. I did basic alterations: took in the top, adjusted strap length, hemmed, and added an over bustle. Everything came out perfect the first time! I would recommend this shop for anyone looking for good alterations at a fair price.

ATTENTION CURVY BRIDES! I am a 5’2 curvy bride and heavy up top. My biggest fear was not being able to find a dress that 100% complimented my body type. I booked 5 wedding boutique appointments with Ava’s being my 6th and last one. The difference was…not only was I consulting with a bridal specialist (like all of them are that you book your appointment with) but I was talking to a seamstress at the same time. I couldn’t talk to a seamstress at all my other appointments, they couldn’t tell me how the top would look with me having a large bust after alterations, paint the picture and talk it out with me confidently letting me know how good I’m gonna feel and look on my wedding day etc. I found some amazing, gorgeous dresses off the rack, I almost said yes to a dress that would’ve had to be ordered from Australia…but it would of been such a gamble ordering a dress not knowing, having a conversation or even meeting face to face with my alterations lady 1st. If you’re a curvy bride and heavy up top like myself…can you image taking a gamble on a dress, investing so much money not knowing who’s going to have 100% control of your dress and ultimately telling you what they can and cannot do…but you have to follow through because you already committed to the dress? Peace of mind is 100% the reason why I chose Ava’s. If you’re still reading and made it this far in my review…invest in yourself. We as curvy women find ourselves spending more money than normal just to feel confident, sexy and comfortable in normal day clothes…Ava’s is 100% going to be the place to find your bridal gown!

I loved my experience with Ava's bridal! I used them for alterations on my bridal dress from another store. For my first appointment, Tammy listened to my vision and showed me each bustle option so I could see what they would actually look like. When I tried on my dress again for my final fitting, my dress fit like a glove, and the bustle was better than I imagined! She color coordinated the bustle strings, so my maid of honor could easily replicate it. She showed her how it worked, and they did it together and even gave us a diagram that we could use the day of. Tammy and Sue were so sweet, and I can not recommend them enough!! I won't post pictures because my wedding hasn't happened yet, but I absolutely will after my wedding because they deserve all the praise!

After going to multiple dress shops I found Ava's, I loved that her entire inventory was online prices included and best of all that I actually saw a couple of dresses that could potentially be the one! I wouldn't be going in blindly to see if they had anything I liked. The deposit was a bit unnerving but I was ready to find my dress and I liked Avas approach so I was excited to give her a try. Although my work schedule and her appointment schedules could not work and she was still very sweet and trying to accommodate on a possible date I could go. I ended up purchasing a dress at a different bridal store, which just so happened to be a dress I wanted to look at, in Ava's shop. Even though I didn't purchase my dress there when she called to schedule my appointment she was very sweet and eager to get started looking at dresses and very interested in what worked and hadn't worked I'm dresses I'm sure I would have found my dress there. I'm excited to hopefully do my alterations with you all though!

I am a mom from Wisconsin with a daughter in Texas. When my daughter asked me to research bridal shops, Ava's was one that popped up. From looking at all that Sue had on the website to requesting more information, Sue was there. Her process in helping find the right dress is top notch. Most bridal shops only allowed 2 guests on weekends, up to 6 on weekdays and none offered VIP treatment. Sue was able to do it all! Sue found exactly the right dresses to try on; upon listening to comments made by my daughter and guests, she was able to pull a few more. In the end, Sue was able to get all the details my daughter desired and she said "Yes to the dress!" Thank you to Sue and her staff for helping an out-of-state mom and her daughter.Sincerely,Kam Caspers

I always imagined when I went to find my dress it would be like the romantic movies. All your favorite people around you, trying on couture gowns , eating snacks and drinking champagne. We DID exactly THAT!! I posted on Dfw vendors wedding page looking for the magical experience for dress shopping & several people commented to try Ava’s along with her competitors in town.Sue the owner is the nicest most compassionate bridal consultant I’ve ever dealt with. From the moment I decided to find my dress she asked all about me. She started making the wedding all about ME ! Now for me that’s exactly what I WANTED. Grade A customer service. She exceeded my expectations. Once I purchased the dress she allowed payment plan options. She even helped me get a custom veil made. Let me finance that as well. It can seem a bit overwhelming at first with all the fees. But truthfully I wouldn’t have gotten my dream dress without her business model. She understands the budgets of brides.Ms. Tammy in alterations is beyond amazing. I wasn’t able to afford alterations in my budget until last minute. I called Sue begging to help me. I didn’t need much other than straps and an American bustle. Tammy was able to meet me at her house after hours measure me , size me and offered next day service. I was so shocked. I came back less than 3weeks later to pick it up before the wedding and it was perfect.My overall experience was A MILLIONS STARS ⭐️!These ladies were born to be in the Bridal Business. Cheers to you wonderful ladies from MRS. PLYMELL! ????????
