“I didn’t have a wedding dress inspiration; I just wanted something simple and elegant to match our wedding aesthetic.
I chose Truly Forever Bridal because of their reviews and their large inventory. My wedding dress experience was amazing. I only have positive things to say about the whole experience. I was not expecting to find my dress on the first go, but I unexpectedly found the perfect dress.”
Truly Forever Bridal provided a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. We had a private room, a great sales associate, and endless dresses to try. I also had the alterations done in-house, which was super convenient.
I had no idea what type of dress I wanted. I loved so many different styles and designers. I started by looking online at various bridal stores in the area and found that Truly Bridal Forever had the most dresses I loved. My experience there was amazing! The consultant I worked with actually found my dress for me. I picked out about 10-12 gowns to try on but didn’t love any of them. Then, she brought me my wedding gown, and the moment I put it on, I knew it was the one!
I really wanted more of a party dress versus a bridal look.
I had an amazing shopping experience because Truly Forever Bridal had the most inventory out of all the bridal shops, and I was able to try on all different styles. They also have a seamstress on site who did a fantastic job with my alterations. The material of my dress was a thicker glitter fabric that was still form-fitting. My mom had the idea of adding the thicker strap that fell off my shoulder. I couldn’t recommend Truly Forever Bridal enough for brides-to-be!
My wedding dress inspiration was simplistic and timeless. I wanted a minimal amount of detail on my dress and always dreamed of a very simple, elegant look with buttons all down the back. I honestly surprised myself when I found my dress and fell in love with it, as the detailing on the bottom of the dress was more intricate than I thought I would want! The back of my dress was originally styled to clip together and form a sort of spider web design, but we decided it would be much more my style to keep the back of the dress open. I am so happy with how it turned out, and I felt beyond beautiful in my dress that day.
I heard about Truly Forever Bridal from a friend and wanted to check it out. This was the only store I ended up looking in, and my experience was incredible! The girl who helped me was wonderful and patient (as I am very picky) and shared in the excitement when I knew I found the perfect dress. I had the most amazing time and have recommended them to every bride-to-be since!
My wedding dress inspiration was also classic and timeless. I wanted something that matched the theme of our day and would withstand the test of time. I found a gorgeous satin strapless ball gown at Truly Forever Bridal and instantly knew it was the one! They also had a lace bolero that I wanted to add on for the ceremony and then take off for the reception, which was neat because it gave me the chance to have two looks with just one dress. My cathedral veil was also from the shop, so I got to get all three pieces of my dress in one place! Truly Forever was wonderful because they had all their dresses off-the-rack, so I didn’t have to wait for any special ordering. I got to leave with my dress right away and just get alterations to fit it just right to my body. I can’t rave enough about their service and assistance in finding the perfect dress!
My whole style and the wedding itself are juxtapositions, and that’s how I like it: timeless and funky. I did a neck scarf instead of a veil, and it was full of colorful flowers; it was not super traditional, but I loved it.
My first dress was intricate and unique with a sheer skirt, while my reception dress from Truly Forever Bridal was a timeless high-neck low-back sheath dress. They were so opposite but so complementary. I loved that Truly Forever has the ability to let you leave with your dress that day. There are very few bridal shops that do that, and it was a huge turn-on for me. I loved my experience from the setup, my bridal stylist, the owner, and everything in between.
When I started to look for a wedding dress, I wanted to make sure I was comfortable and wearing something that would knock my husband off his feet! I went to two stores in Sarasota. The first store had so many options and there were so many that looked great on me but they just didn’t feel like the one. When I went to Truly Forever Bridal Sarasota, I tried on about three before I found the one. Honestly, my family’s opinion did not matter at that moment. I literally knew I found the dress right when I looked in the mirror! My consultant, Laura, was so great; she knew what dress to pick that would fit my body type as well as my personality.
I chose Truly Forever Bridal because I wanted to stick to a local wedding dress shop that was close to me. This shop was also on our wedding planner’s preferred vendor list so I knew I couldn’t go wrong here. I also learned it is super convenient to have your dress shop nearby because I did have to do about three fittings until I got to take my dress home.
I wanted a dress that was modern but still bridal. I tried on a few dresses that were more minimalistic, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that you only get one chance to wear a beautiful bridal gown! This dress ended up checking all of my boxes. It had a classy v-neck, lace, modern, and the slit in the front was perfection.
After striking out at a few Atlanta bridal boutiques, I was getting a little overwhelmed and realized it was time to recruit help from my best friends! My matron of honor made the appointment at Truly Forever Bridal, where we met up with my bridesmaid crew the weekend of my Tampa bridal shower. The manager, Jadyn, helped me find my dream gown. She was amazing, listened, and provided feedback while still giving me space to make my own decisions and fall in love with my gown.
I wanted an A-line dress. Truly Forever Bridal has a large warehouse of dresses, and you try on dresses that are your size. I walked out with a dress that day.
We booked the Diamond Suite for all of my girls to come with and had food and drinks there. They did a good job of listening to what I liked and did not like and were able to pull a bunch of dresses to try on.
“Truly Forever Bridal was perfect when it came to picking out my wedding dress. They did an excellent job of helping me find exactly what I was looking for. Without a doubt my gorgeous open back wedding dress truly made me feel special.”
“I chose Truly Forever Bridal because of their abundance of gowns available to purchase and take home the same day. My consultant helped me try on a variety of dresses and helped find exactly what I was looking for in a dress!”
“I absolutely loved the selection of dresses at the show, so I felt like I would be able to find just the type of dress I was looking for at their boutique. The dress I chose was exactly what I was looking for, and I couldn’t have felt more like a princess. The team at Truly Forever Bridal definitely helped me find my dream dress.”
“I went to Truly Forever Bridal because my cousin had bought her wedding dress there the year prior and we had a great time with the amazing staff. I felt like I hit the jackpot when Laura introduced herself as my consultant. She truly listened when I explained my vision. The first dress I put on was the one I chose! I didn’t want to take it off, and Laura knew it. She lined up all the dresses from most similar to the dress my heart was set on. I became less and less interested in every dress I tried on and just stopped her and said I want the first one. She smiled and told me she knew that was the one from the moment I put it on.”
“I was amazed by the service I received at Truly Forever Bridal. The whole team was wonderful, and every dress they picked for me I felt beautiful in.”
Jordyn chose a white dress because it was simple and traditional; it also helped that the dress had pockets. Jordyn searched for local wedding dress stores and found great reviews for Truly Forever Bridal.
For my super sentimental heart, there were a couple of factors: red is the color of Love! Red is also the color that keeps me connected to my grandmother because it was our favorite, and my mom wore a white and red dress when she got married. Those two ladies taught me so much about love, and I just wanted to keep them both close to me as I walked down the aisle to celebrate the new forever love I had with Jordyn.
We shopped for the dresses together, as best friends, and the Truly Forever Bridal team listened attentively to each of our requests and worked hard to meet our expectations. When Jordyn requested alterations like removing lace from the dress, their tailor was confident she could complete the alterations that would make the dress perfect before our wedding.
I did not want to visit multiple bridal shops and knew that Truly Forever Bridal has the largest selection of dresses in the state. I was confident that I would find my gown in one visit, and I did!
I booked the VIP Diamond Suite, and it was the most wonderful experience. Their highly trained staff made it lots of fun for me and my guests!
Truly Forever Bridal was having a giant sale over Thanksgiving break, and I was able to get an appointment. The shopping experience and alterations were perfect. They did a great job of reading me and taking my simple, but not totally typical, array of bridal dresses I liked and gave me a great variety of options. I went with my mom, and they quickly could tell I wasn’t one to love the dress shopping experience, so they made it easy and fun while also being quick to move on but spotting when to make me slow down and take in what I was wearing. It was all so well done.
My mother surprised me with the VIP experience at Truly Forever Bridal. The bridal consultant fit me into the perfect dress. I was open and leaned on her decades of experience. My bridesmaids, close family, and friends all helped create amazing memories while we picked my dress.
Our wedding planner worked with Truly Forever Bridal often and suggested them. It was a great experience! I wanted a boho/lace dress and a low cut in the back but not too formal looking since our wedding was on the beach.
I chose the dress I did because it had all the features I wanted, and I fell in love with it!
I went in with no idea of what I wanted. I asked Laura, my bridal attendant at Truly Forever Bridal, to set me up with a variety of options that she thought would work for my body type and my budget. She went to work right away, and I didn’t have to think too hard about anything. It was all very easy!
I picked Truly Forever Bridal mainly due to its location and also because they allowed for a more personalized experience where I could also bring my bridal party and family. Many locations had limits of three guests in attendance, which really took away from the experience.
Laura was fantastic from beginning to end. She helped pick my dress, listened to my opinions on different dresses, which allowed her to narrow down the options of what she would give me to try on next, and also assisted me all the way through the alterations process as well.
I had pinned lots of dresses that I felt would go well for a daytime wedding. After trying on a few I realized I wanted it to have a clean, classic look to the dress. It had pockets which was an awesome addition to the dress!
I went to a few different shops but ended up at Truly Forever Bridal Tampa because they had an amazing variety of dresses. The experience was fantastic. The shop was very organized, and the entire team helped every step of the way. We were also able to get my husband’s tuxedo through them as well as additional accessories.
I was looking for something flattering for my super long torso, something that wouldn’t make my torso look even longer. I avoided mermaid-style dresses or anything like that. Other than that, I was pretty open-minded.
I chose Truly Forever Bridal because they had a large selection, and I liked that you could buy your dress at the shop instead of having to order a dress and wait months for it. I really enjoyed my shopping experience. We rented their larger dressing room, so it was our own mini-party.
