They were the friendliest and most helpful bridal store I have ever went to. I went to several others and had problems, but when I went here they were more interested in finding what I like and gave helpful hints. She took her time letting me try in dresses to make sure I left happy. I left with my beautiful wedding gown and a huge smile! Thank you!

Everyone at Here comes the bride is great! I bought my dress and my five bridesmaids dress there. My mom was so impressed with the alterations that she had her dress done there. All the girls are friendly and know what they are talking about! AND they give honest opinions!

I love Here Comes the Bride!!!!! This was the first and only place I shopped for my wedding dress. I bough my dress in 90 minutes then cancelled the other 5 appointments I had at other salons. They are in this tiny strip mall. Do not over look them. Every dress in the salon is beautiful and looks way more expensive. The help you receive is personal. They only help 1 bride at a time you have the consultants full attention. They allow you to walk the store, touch and feel dresses and pull anything you like. My consultant Diane asked me some basic questions about my wedding and they just starting grabbing dresses. Every dress was amazing. They have a great selection of accessories that are also very reasonably priced. When my dress came it I feel in love again and it fit amazing. However, after the alternation I fit my figure like a glove. When I went back in for my veil appointment I also order a black satin sash. The owner personally help we pick the sash. She never lost her patient after trying about 10 different option on me. Every time I entered the salon I was warmly welcomed. My mom also got her mother of the bride dress her. She bought it as a sample and got an amazing deal.

All brides should check out this little shop in a strip mall in Addison. The unassuming storefront contains lot of dresses in many different styles and the women running the shop are all fantastic to work with. I tried other chain bridal stores all over the area and I was not finding what I was looking for. After about 20 minutes in this store I found the perfect dress at a great price! The dress arrived quickly and exactly as we ordered. My alterations were done in house and were expertly finished. I came here with my bridesmaids when they were searching for dresses and had a similar experience. The shop was able to tell me over the phone that they had to style of dress my bridesmaids wanted. When we went to try it on we even discovered it was in the color I wanted! They looked fantastic and we had a very easy shopping experience. They were very accommodating about my bridesmaids busy schedules for payment and pick up, and gave us appointments and attention during those appointments even when they were very busy. I strongly recommend that you search for a dress here. You won't be disappointed!

Working with Here Comes the Bride was a breeze! Rose was so nice and accommodating, and I was able to find my dream dress easily. Her selection is large without being overwhelming, and I believe anyone would be able to find their dream dress here. I live in the City, but wasn't looking for downtown prices, which brought me to the store. I do not think I substituted quality, and I was able to find a perfect dress for a price I could afford. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely choose this shop again.

I love this shop. Don't let the dingy looking strip mall that it's in scare you away. They have a great selection and Rose and Diane are awesome. Diane helped me try on dresses and she was so sweet and patient. She picked out the dress that was the one. She knows exactly what will look best on your body type. My dress came in 3 months and the layers on the bottom were significantly different lengths. When I thought I was about to freak out, Diane looked at my mom and I and told us not to worry. She said she would be sending this dress back today and would get a whole new one. She stayed so calm and kept me from freaking out. The new dress came in 3 weeks. I had an incredibly great experience with this store.

It's all about the dress, right??? Rose and her team are phenomenal! They all understand the pressure a bride feels to find the perfect dress and they do their absolute best to help you find it. Here Comes the Bride has a wide selection of dresses for any body type. During my appointment at HCTB, Rose suggested a different silhouette than what I was drawn to because she knew it would work well on my body type, and she was spot on! My sister-in-law-to-be went to four other places to find her perfect dress, and ended up finding "the one" at Here Comes the Bride too. I live in the city, and the small trek out to Addison, Illinois was worth the trip!
I highly recommend Here Comes the Bride for their wide selection of dresses offered at various price ranges for all budget sizes, their professionalism, and overall wonderful...

I went here to look for a dress because my friend had a great experience when she was looking for her wedding dress. This was the only place I went. I found my dress right away. The ladies who work here are great!

I found Here Comes a Bride through Yelp. After reading the mostly positive reviews, I decided to go in and give it a try since my wedding was eight months away.
The store is a bit far, but it is easy to find. It is located in a strip mall, and it has a big "(here comes the) BRIDE" sign above it. I went with one of my bridesmaids, and we were immediately greeted by Diane. She let us peruse through the dresses. My BM and I found some dresses that matched the kind of dress that I wanted--close, but no cigar. Diane asked if she could see the kind of dress that I envisioned for myself, and she let me use her laptop to go through some photos that I bookmarked for myself. She took a look, went to the back of the store, and brought out a dress and told me that this might work.
I tried it on, and it was exactly what I wanted! I didn't like the original sash too much, and she quickly grabbed a floral sash from the front of the store. I liked this one so much better, but it was pretty pricey; Diane offered to switch it out for free.
I ended up finding the dress for a lower price at another store; I explained my budget to Diane, and she consulted with Rose and let me know that she and Rose were willing to match the lower price once they confirmed that it was true. They called the other store, confirmed the price, and matched it!
I ordered my dress at the end of December and got it mid-April. It is everything I wanted. The ladies at the store are very accommodating and understanding of people's different circumstances. Very happy customer here, and I'll recommend them to...

I purchased my wedding dress from Here Comes the Bride in Nov of 2010 for my July 2011 wedding. Immediately upon entering the store I was impressed with the number of dresses they have for the size of the store. It is not very large (they only allow 1 bride at a time to try on dresses), but they had a great selection especially of the designer I was interested in - Mori Lee. I came in with several Mori Lee dresses I wanted to try on and they had most of the selections in store. I ended up falling in love with the first dress I tried on - a brand new Mori Lee that they had just gotten and was on the mannequin in the front window. I was even more in love when they told me the price tag - it was well below my budget even with alterations.
The dress came in in plenty of time for my wedding and the store held on to it for me until May when I was able to come in for my first fitting (I was an out of town bride). At the first fitting the dress fit like a glove, they just had to take two tucks - one at the bust and one at the waist so that it wouldn't fall down. The shop has several cases of jewelry and headpieces and I was able to find several pieces I liked here as well! I had to come in the day before the wedding for my second fitting because I didn't get back into town until then. Luckily the dress fit PERFECT at this fitting and I took it home immediately.
At my wedding everyone commented how gorgeous my dress was and how it must have cost a lot of money. Little did they know that we got the deal of the century! I have recommended Here Comes the Bride to several of my friends and a few of them have already gotten their dresses there too! I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for personal attention in a small boutique setting with a very friendly and helpful staff!

I purchased my dress and had my alterations done at Here Comes the Bride. I felt very comfortable when shopping for my dress. It was one of the only places that I shopped at that did not push me to buy when I was not ready. When I went in to purchase the dress, I was the only one in the store and got great personal attention. After my dress came in they allowed me to come in and try it on with my parents and then again with a friend. Since I decided to have my alterations done there they kept my dress so that I would not have t obring it home and hide from my hubby. When I went in for my alterations, everything went smoothly but when I went to pick it up, there was beading on the dress that I did not want (my dress was simple with no beading). They were very accomodating to fix it and in the end my dress was beautiful on our wedding day.

Diane and Rose are FABULOUS!!! I originally found my dress at another store and it was WAY OVER MY BUDGET. When I walked into Here Comes The Bride, Diane greeted me and once I described the dress, she immediatley picked out the same dress AT HALF THE PRICE!!! Diane was a shoulder to cry on (I was having bridesmaid issues) and each time I went to the store, I was treated like an old friend of the family!
Although the strip mall is a bit run down, DO NOT let that deter you from visiting this store. They are above and beyond the best in the business and I highly recommend them for all your party dress needs!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this bridal boutique! I knew four different people who got their dresses there, and I wento 11 (yes 11!) places before going to Here Comes the Bride. I had found some wonderful dresses, but their selection was in my price range and their customer service far surpassed all the others. Diane was wonderful! She's so patient and seemed more like a friend - I NEVER felt pressured to buy anything and really appreciated that. I have recommended this boutique to several brides and will continue to do so because they were so wonderful to work with. Thank you Here Comes the Bride for helping me find my dream dress that I could afford!

When faced with wedding planning it is often that minor details are forgotten. Here Comes the Bride took the time to make sure that I and my bridal party ordered dresses that we liked. But also ordered the dresses timely. We had no issues with delivery and all of the girls looked phenomenal. I will definitely refer my friends.

After going to a few high end bridal shops on Oak St (in the city), I came across a segment on 190 North about Here Comes the Bride. I decided to drive out and have a look and was very pleasantly surprised. Not only did I find 8 dressed that I absolutely loved, the dress I bought surpassed the obsession I had over an Oscar de la Renta dress I previously tried on and was about 1/20 of the cost! The ladies at Here Come the Bride were extremely helpful, patient and provided great input and feedback on each dress. I appreciated their help so much that I decided to get my head piece and veil from them as well - all at exceptional prices while not skimping on quality.
The tailoring on my dress was also exceptional. I had Rudy turn my neckline into a sweetheart neckline and it looked like the dress came that way. My dress looked so impecable that many people at my wedding whispered that they were certain my dress was a couple thousand dollars. That's all due to the quality tailoring by Rudy.
I've sent a couple future brides to Here Come the Bride since and will recommend them to any and all future brides to come. What a great gem of a shop!

I had purchased my dress form another Bridal salon and I had lost a lil weight from STRESSING! I took the dress to Here comes the Bride and Rudy was marvelous, she made the dress fit my every curve and I was really pleased. It did not take months and months to be altered, like most bridal stores tell you, it was 2 weeks. I returned for the final fitting and it fit like a glove, although they were pricey, I will follow my mom’s advice and say you get what you pay for! Rudy also altered my reception dress and it too was fabulous!

I had the most amazing experience at Here Comes the Bride. I found out 2 months ago that I am pregnant and my wedding is in 4 weeks. I was hoping I would be one of those lucky moms to be that don't start showing until 6 months, but I'm very small and at 14 weeks I already have a baby bump and my chest has gone up a whole cup size. Needless to say my already purchased, very slinky, satin Nicole Miller beach wedding dress was no longer an option. And to add one more hurdle to the mix I live in London so I only had 1 week to find a new dress "off the rack", get it altered and pick it up before I head back to London. Our first appointment was at Here Comes the Bride. Rose is the woman who assisted me and my mom. She pulled all the dresses she thought would look good on me given my changing shape. I tried on dresses completely different to my orginal choice and fell in love with one that I never would have picked for myself. It is so beautiful and amazing. I went from crying about being the fat ugly bride in a too small dress, to feeling like I will look beautiful on my special day and I owe it to Rose and Here Comes The Bride. They sold me the sample I tried on and was able to get me fitted that afternoon. My dress will be ready for me to pick it up by the end of the week before I head back to London. Just an amazing experience. Please add this store to your list of boutiques to visit when you shop for your gown.

Good prices on a wide selection of designer dresses. All my bridesmaids ordered their dress from here. They did a good job with the fitting/size selection and orders came in quickly. Lower sales tax due to the store being located in DuPage county (little added bonus). Did not use for alterations as we found better prices elsewhere.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Here Comes the Bride. I had looked at a few places in the city and came nowhere close to finding "the dress." I could only afford the least expensive choices at even the "cheap" places in the city, and I couldn't find anything that I loved.
As soon as I walked in the door at Here Comes the Bride, I was thrilled with how relaxed and calm the environment was. First of all, they let you look through the dresses yourself, which I loved. They had a lot of different styles and "feels." Second of all, there were a number of dresses there I could've been happy with (which is saying something since I didn't find anything elsewhere). The prices were very reasonable and covered a pretty broad range.
Okay, and the dress. I LOVED my dress. I could afford my dress. I could afford to have my dress altered appropriately (although it barely needed any alterations).
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I would absolutely recommend Here Comes the Bride.
