I went to Bridal Boutique by Barbara looking for a mother of the bride dress. Barbara was terrific, so helpful and giving great input. She pulled a few items for me to try that I would not have chosen myself. Her attitude was fantastic! I was there on Friday, and left without purchasing, but said I wanted to think about it. I went back on Saturday, to purchase a dress and the whole process was easy and smooth. I was very very happy with my experience and so glad that I got to work with Barbara! For sure they not only have a large selection but the best dresses in South Florida.
I am a bit late in providing my review (and it is a bit long), but I would like to recognize what a great boutique this place is, not only because of its gowns, but what really stood out was the customer service we received, which sadly I feel many businesses are lacking in today. This place is nothing but amazing - exceptional customer service by two wonderful and classy women who run the store that carries exquisite and high quality gowns. I was at the boutique back in September 2020. I had an upcoming wedding in one month and I still did not have a dress. Any brides nightmare. I had been trying to find one at several boutiques in my hometown; however, after experiencing very poor customer service, my mom and I decided to take a trip to Miami, which is several hours away from where we live. I had made a few appointments to some bridal shops near Coral Gables. However, after doing a quick google search, Bridal Boutique by Barbara popped up in my search as it was nearby where I was and we decided to stop there first to see before heading to the appointments. When we arrived, we were welcomed by two very special ladies, Barbara and Bibi, who really were fabulous in every way. They really helped me in finding the perfect dress and made my mother and I feel so welcomed. Their kind and warm and upbeat personalities are what made this experience top-notch! The boutique had a great variety of different styles, which helped me quickly decide what I wanted or didnt (as I did not have a certain style in mind). They gave me options and they very kind and patient with me (as I am a very indecisive person). At one point I thought I had found the dress, but had second thoughts and decided not to move forward and told her I wanted to go to my other appointments before making a decision. She was very understanding and said she would be there if I needed to come back. Boy, was she right! I went to only one of my appointments in Coral Gables and the experience was very unpleasant and the gowns were not only ugly but very expensive! I ended up canceling my other appointments and my mom immediately called Barbara and said were coming back but lets look at a few more dresses. In the end, we found the most beautiful gem of a dress, which turned out to be my wedding dress. Barbara was so wonderful in making sure that the dress arrived quickly so we would have enough time to alter the dress if necessary. She gave me tips in what to do in the meantime to ensure I would fit in the dress (as I was between two sizes). Her tip definitely worked because by the time the dress arrived, it fit like a glove! No alterations were needed! The day of my wedding EVERYONE loved the dress! Everyone said they had never seen such a beautiful dress! I think my guests reactions are definitely a testament that the gowns there are not just beautiful, but exquisite. They also not only sell bridal gowns, but dresses for the MOB or if you are part of the wedding party or even guest. The MOB dresses are fabulous, not dresses that are frumpy and make moms look dated. This place is definitely a reflection of these ladies taste and fashion wisdom. They know what looks good and that is what they offer to their clientele. I also found my jewelry and hairpiece there and they had beautiful veils as well. The prices were fantastic as well!! Just cant say enough. You will not regret shopping at Bridal Boutique by Barbara! First class wedding gown dress shop!!!
Bridal Boutique by Barbara was wonderful! Got my Mother of the Bride gown on first visit. The selection was great. Everyone who helped me were amazing. My experience was excellent!
I have three daughters and they have been Barbaras Girls since 2015! We love the store, the staff and the experience! Excellent customer service. Will continue to come back!
Highly recommend Bridal Boutique by Barb shop!!! We went there to get my daughter a beautiful red prom dress and left with two pink dresses instead 😆. She had two proms to enjoy this year and being her senior year why not two dresses lol. They were so helpful and kind to make her prom dress beautiful for her. If you want your day to be extra special this is the place. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and these ladies go above and beyond that for their customers. Cant say enough thank you kind ladies!!! I will have to update or add to this review when she gets pictures of the 2nd dress and at her senior prom.
Absolutely recommend Bridal by Barbara to anyone looking for a dress for their big day! Bibi, my dress consultant was absolutely amazing with me and worked so hard in finding my dress! The staff is amazing and easy to work with and made everything so easy and made the experience so fun for my entire bridal party.
Barbaras made dress shopping comfortable and fun!I had such a lovely experience at Bridal By Barbara! This was my first stop trying on dresses so I had no idea what to expect, but they took what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience and made it fun, comfortable, and productive. We were greeted by name when we arrived, and quickly introduced to our fantastic stylist. She asked about my wedding location, preferences, and really listened to me when picking some first dresses to try on (but also adding some surprises to make sure we tried everything). Bridal By Barbara is an adorable and welcoming boutique environment with a gorgeous, curated selection. I would recommend to anyone in Miami or even visiting!
Very nice staff, love the variety of products for proms and brides mothers. My mom just got her mother of the Bride dress from this store and we are all fascinated. So happy she found the one! and very exclusive.
I HAD THE ULTIMATE GREATEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! BRIDAL BOUTIQUE BY BARBARA WAS ALL AROUND THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE OF ALL THE WEDDING DRESS VENDORS THAT I WENT TO AND I WENT TO A LOT!! ANDREA IS THE BEST SALES WOMAN ON THE ENTIRE PLANET AND SHE WAS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH! EVERYONE THERE IS A PLEASURE AND I MISS IT SO MUCH I WOULD GET MARRIED AGAIN JUST TO RELIVE THE EXPERIENCE I HAD!! THANK YOU SO MUCH BARBARA YOU MADE ME A PRINCESS AND I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!!
I had an amazing experience at Bridal Boutique by Barbara! The boutique is beautiful and the staff is welcoming and helpful. I had the pleasure of working with Bibi and she was wonderful. She really knew her inventory and when I said I liked or disliked something she immediately catered my options to my likes and dislikes. I truly felt as if she was listening to me and understood what I was looking for. Lucia was so helpful as well, she paid very close attention to the details of my dress, as I ordered a custom design, and made sure I was 100% comfortable before ordering. I really had a dream team in Bibi and Lucy and Im so excited to be getting my dream dress!

All the Consultants were fantastic to work with! It was an overall great and smooth experience from day one! They are the best! Highly recommended. My little sister also bought her Prom dress from them and it was the same experience. Will continue returning.
Awesome is the only way to describe this store. The store is literally a color explosion - it is way cool to see all the variations in dress styles and colors. The staff is super friendly and helpful which is very impressive in todays retail environment. Yes it cost me a few bucks for a prom dress but my daughter is worth it. No issue with the what so ever in getting the dress.
I am very glad to be able to write a review about this boutique. My daughter bought from them her prom dress this year, and like everybody has not been able to use it, as all proms got canceled. This is not the fault of any body, much less the store. I am sure they also invested money in ordering all these dress as per the request of different girls. If you commit to an order, you have to go by the house rules. In other words, if you buy a car, and later cannot afford it, your car is repossessed, if you buy a house and dont pay the mortgage or dont pay your rent, sooner or later your are going to be foreclosed on or evicted. Ive seen all the reviews lately, which seems to be from the same person and their friends or family members continue making the same over and over review about these people. If you decide you could not afford the dress or simply changed your mind about moving forward since your prom got canceled, tough luck! Move on and get a life! The treatment and service provided by this company was amazing, and the quality of dresses they have is unique. I am sure their clientele is not going to be affected by all this none sense. Thats why I decided to do this review.
I couldnt have asked for a better experience at Bridals Boutique by Barbara. I felt welcomed by everyone we met at the store. My consultant, Bibi, was absolutely amazing. She had me try on all different styles to ensure I had an opportunity to test them all out and ultimately helped me find the most beautiful dress for my wedding day. I highly recommend Bridals by Barbara (and Lucia the seamstress) to anyone looking for the dress for the special day!
Today I said YES! To the dress - and I couldnt have done it without the amazing stylist, Bibi! She was extremely knowledgeable and made my bridal shopping experience a breeze! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for their dream wedding dress!
Best experience ever. I bought a dress for my daughter’s wedding and the service was excellent. The quality and availability of dresses is exquisite. The dress was ready as promised and the tailoring was done in time and very reasonable price. Thank you to the whole staff. Highly recommended
My daughter must have gone to 5 stores or more, looking for her sweet sixteen dress, with no luck. Until she got to Bridal Boutique by Barbara who we chose to visit from a friend of mine. We fell in love with 2 dresses. the staff were extremely nice and helpful, and in an hour the dress was ordered in the color and size that my daughter needed. We arrive today after 3 weeks as promised delivery, the dress was perfect, only minor alteration needed. The jewelry was found in the store and all was smooth and easy. Thank you BBbyBarbara 5 stars great job.
My daughter talked about coming all week. After 4 hours she found a dress! Rachel was very helpful and pleasant to work with. Thank you for making this an amazing experience.
My Experience here was AMAZING! Eddi knew exactly what I was looking for and I couldnt be happier to have found my dress here. Thank you all for your help.
My personal stylist was a very big help! Not only did she find a perfectly fitted dress for me but she didn’t stop looking until I was fully satisfied. The staff was such a big help as well. They also left comments, helped me find dresses, and complimented me as I tried on different dresses. They made me feel completely comfortable! I absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking for that perfect prom or bridal dress!
In February I decided to look for my prom dress and had a delightful experience in this store. Thanks to Barbara (the owner), and the wonderful employees for making my experience run smoothly and helping me pick a dress that suited my figure. Special thanks to Lucia as well who helped tailor my dress to fit me perfectly and took her time in making the measurements. They take their time, effort, sweat, and dedication to making each individual experience truly magical. They made a girls fantasy into a reality and had experienced a once in a life time opportunity. Unfortunately, prom might have been canceled, but I lived out my dreams in the gorgeous dresses with my best friends together in a photoshoot. I definitely recommend anyone looking for a prom dress or even homecoming, wedding, and quinceanera dresses to go to this store. They have every dress you could imagine that fits you great and boost your confidence. I would be coming back for any important and special events in my life.❤️
Best prom dresses in Miami. I bought my daughters prom dress from them and my daughter looked amazing. The service and quality of dresses is unique. Absolutely the best prom dresses in Miami. So glad we found this store.
Bibi was absolutely incredible! I walked in and she really took the time to discuss what I wanted, didnt want and budget. She took one look at me and immediately knew what dress would make my body type look just stunning. the customer service and personalization was awesome. They even helped me find the right accessories and in house alterations was a plus. Thank you guys!!!!
Most unprofessional person ever! First of all she did not want to refund the dress that cost me $400 not $5 when I did not have a prom due to a PANDEMIC. On top of that when I pick up the dress the dress comes damaged according to her there is nothing that can be done and she has the audacity to BLOCK ME. Definitely do not recommend this boutique to anyone.
These ladies are great! What a team... My salesperson was Bibi and she was just a doll, genuinely and to the fullest. On my last fitting I got a chance to sit and talk to her for a few minutes while the seamstress (also very nice...) made a final alteration. Bibi really puts a personal touch to the bridal buying experience, and I feel she truly cares about her customers.Wonderful service and high-quality gowns at a reasonable price. I was pleased with the assistance I received and she listened to every comment I made to help guide me towards my best dress! My advice... Be open-minded about what you might like- I ended up with a much different style than I anticipated!We were so lucky to find a place who could rush my new dress on so short notice. Theyre an absolute blessing!THANK YOU, Bibi, along with all the other wonderful ladies at Bridal Boutique by Barbara. :D
I went to Barbaras for my senior prom dress and found the perfect dress! Rashel helped me and she was so nice and helpful and made my experience 10x easier and more fun. They have so many dresses it’s impossible not to find one you love! The atmosphere there is so fun, it makes it so much more than just buying a dress. I definitely recommend going to BBbyBarbara for a dress!
This is the best place to shop for a wedding dress. After going to many stores, I was recommended to Bridal by Barbara by a friend who bought her wedding dress from them, and I am so glad I did! Their service is phenomenal and have many many dresses to choose from. Different styles as well as good prices. You will not regret buying your wedding dress from this store. I am in love with my dress!
I had such a wonderful experience at Bridal Boutique by Barbara. Every member of their staff made me feel special each time I was there. I was living in Tampa in the months leading up to my wedding. The staff members were so flexible in regard to scheduling my wedding gown fittings which I truly and greatly appreciated. The level of expertise in regard to the tailoring of my wedding gown was astounding to me. People at my wedding told me that my gown fit so perfectly, it was as if it had been sewn onto me; I owe this to the undoubtedly masterful work of the Bridal by Barbaras Team! The team at Bridal Boutique were so great! From the initial dress shopping to fittings. Thank you so much!
Best dress buying experience I’ve ever had! Love this place and would recommend to all my friends and family!
This place has the most BEAUTIFUL dresses. The service is amazing. I got my prom dress from them.
She really refused to give people their money back in time of crisis when the dresses weren’t even altered. It wasn’t anyone’s fault the prom was cancelled. it’s sad really. hope you lose your clientele babe ❤️
Bridal Boutique by Barbara should feel ashamed of themselves!!! This boutique has robbed our senior class of their prom dress deposits for their own selfishness!!!! Our seniors WILL NOT have a prom, graduation or any kind of ceremony! My friend put a down payment for her daughter prom dress. When my friends daughter was supposed to go get fitted/altered they were closed because of COVID19. When my friend finally got in touch with the owner she explained to her that her daughters school had canceled prom. If it was possible to please return her deposit since the dress wasnt altered and the dress wasnt specially ordered because she had chosen something off the boutique rack of dresses and the owner said no to just pay off the dress and use it for another occasion. GIVE ALL THOSE PEOPLE MONEY BACK!!!!! You should be ashamed of what your doing at time like this.
Yesterday was one of the best days of my life as I said yes to my dress with the help of Barbara and her amazing staff. They brought out every still of dress so that I can try on and then pick at the end which one I really liked. They were all very kind to us from the moment we stepped in to the moment we left. I recommend this Boutique store to everyone. Thank you for making this day very special for me.
The best place to find the dress of your dreams. The dresses are certainly beautiful 🥰❤️
Wow! What a little hidden treasure this boutique turned out to be. Barbara had such great energy, and was such a sweet heart. She respected my conservative budget and had such a great selection starting at super low prices. Experience is everything, and it was amazing. I went to a store in the Gables, and the service and selection in this boutique exceeded that large store. She had a massive mirror and stage, a comfy couch for my maid of honor to sit between dresses, and an adorable “she said yes” sign for pictures afterward. She was very knowledgable and was a true pleasure to do business with. She listened to everything I wanted and tried to make it all happen for me! Can’t wait to go back!
These people did not give the senior class this year refunds for their prom dresses even though they are not having prom. And not only that but a friend of mine spoke out about it on Instagram and tagged the boutique about it and the owner of whoever runs the account blocked her. how disrespectful and immature. These girls have been looking forward to prom for half of their live and thaf got cancelled the least the boutique can do is give them their refund. Do not recommend this place at all, they are only in it for the money and have no sense of customer service at all. Do not come here if you are looking forward to speaking to reasonable people, these people are most definitely the opposite.
Best place ever. I highly recommend this place. I was looking for my dream dress and Bridal Boutique by Barbara made it a reality. The dresses here are to die for . Really one of the best experiences in my life. I’m really thankful to Barbara and the assistants for making me feel so welcomed and comfortable.
Best place to purchase a dress from. I bought a dress from her for my daughter’s prom and it was exceptional. They were so attentive and patient while my daughter took forever to find the perfect dress. I highly recommend them.
Extremely unprofessional & disgustingly wicked. Withheld $200 deposit from multiple people despite prom being canceled due to a world wide epidemic. People are unemployed and have bills to pay and all she cares about it pocketing money and making profit during this difficult time. Blocked everyone on her Instagram page that commented negatively about her “worldwide policy” even though she only has one store. Not to mention she left the clients that asked for refunds on their deposit on read.
I have never experienced such kindness, gentleness, tenderness... in my life. This women made my Prom dream come true by providing me the best attention; I was going through a horrible time and couldn’t afford the dress I wanted, Barbara was so touched by my story that she decided to give me the dress for FREE, one of her old employees called Jenny did my HAIR AND MAKEUP FOR FREE, Barbara gave me free shoes as well and I looked like an absolute princess.The reviews on her get me very upset because people judge a book by its cover not knowing that this beautiful woman is nothing but a soft-hearted, loving, glamorous and extremely talented person. Till this day I will forever thank her for what she did for me!
Love this place! The attention is excellent my daughter was referred by a friend and we are very glad we came, after having been searching for prom dresses in the whole Miami and Broward areas, we found it here. We are super happy with our purchase. Highly recommended.
Great dresses at a great price. Beautiful designs. 5 stars.
Said yes to my dress at BBbyBarbara, and it was all thanks to Bibi! She could not have been more wonderful to work with. In addition to showing me styles I thought I liked going in, she used her expert eye, and chose a dress that I never would have thought of for myself and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Its truly a work of art. Every step of the way she made me feel incredible - she has the best energy and truly cares for her brides. If you need a dress, this should be your first and only stop. I honestly cant thank her enough ❤️
I love this store ❤️
Bridal Boutique by Barbara won’t issue refunds or exchanges, even during a pandemonium. If you think your special even will be canceled, don’t leave your deposit here. Check out dadesocial ‘s post on instagram for evidence.
This is the worst place to go find a prom dress. I walked in and immediately the lady was fixing a dress on a manequin and was blocking the entrance. She just starred at us and gave attitude. The dresses were extremely overpriced. I went to another store the next day and a dress they had at this store and the price was 750 was in another store the same brand for 300. A worker was on top of me the whole time and did not let me look at dresses in peace. She was also extremely rude. When I was trying on dresses a lady that worked there basically called me fat!!! How do you expect to sell dresses like that? It was absolutely ridiculous. My experience was horrible. If I could give this place zero stars, I would.
I apparently came at a busier time. I was looking for bridal dresses and had to wait about 30 minutes past my appointment. No a big deal though, the ladies were very sweet and they do have a ton of dresses. Although compared to other places i’ve been to, this bridal shop doesn’t have much modern dresses.
If I could give a zero I would. Shame on you for taking advantage of all the parents who made deposits for their kids. They never got to graduate nor a prom and you wont give their money back. Your service was not rendered! That makes you a thief.
Love, Love this place.Best place to find a special occasion dress.
Many thanks for the wonderful attention and care we felt as soon as we entered the store. We found the perfect wedding dress for my daughter and she said YES to the dress!!
Sghmm.Kim mum Nebraskan
RIDICULOUS LADY.. i don’t know how she owns a business with her trashy attitude
Excellent. I loved itShe is fantastic and the dresses are absolutely gorgeous!
Great experience!! Excellent customer service a great place to get everything that you need for your special day, just perfect 💕
They are thieves. Give those parents their money back.
Give parents back there money it’s not there fault all this happen and they are going through a lot. Don’t do business here
I was going to go to your shop for my 2 daughters for there prom next year but since you gave no compassion and take advantage of people in times in need i will look for another boutique.
Rude.
We paid $ 500 for a dirty dress, without a tag that of course had been used and returned by someone when we complained to the owner, Mrs. Barbara told us with a very bad attitude; If you want it, they take it if they dont leave it, a horrible experience. I do not recommend it to anyone 👎👎👎 very expensive and in very bad condition
This place is wonderful it has an excellent team. The dresses are the most exclusive and they are always trying to please you. They are the best
Best place to buy dresses in Miami. I had a unique experience. And the treatment was excellent. I recommend 100% quality and unique dresses.
I am super fascinated with this store, I love everything they have I have been buying my dresses for 8 years with them and their treatment is wonderful and not to mention their seamstress who leaves everything just for you. The attention of the girls are super friendly, so I recommend them with their eyes closed for me they have ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🙏😘
For my sons wedding I chose this wonderful boutique to help me with the dress. There everything is the best, the quality of the clothes, the attention I received and how patient they were with me. I have to thank everyone and especially Mrs. Barbara. If you are looking for a special outfit this is your site.
