WHAT OUR BRIDES ARE SAYING

RENEE COURCY

“Sam and her beautiful shop have been a gift to experience. As someone who is generally shy, Sam made me feel so comfortable and confident. She listened to all my preferences and helped me pick the perfect dress. I can’t recommend Art & Lace Bridal enough!”

LAUREN ROSE

“I had such a wonderful experience shopping for my wedding dress with Sam. She was so kind and made the experience fun and comfortable. I had been nervous about finding a dress that would suit my body type and Sam made sure I felt beautiful even in the dresses I didn’t choose”.

TEAIRA P.

“I felt very confident in Sam’s suggestions, and she explained how each gown could be customized & the color options each style came in. She offered to help me get in and out of the gowns and was phenomenal with helping me see how the gown would fit on me. I am a Plus-sized bride so this was a big deal to me. She made me feel beautiful and seen”.
