As a plus size bride, words cannot express how thrilled I was with my decision to go here. Our stylist, Liz, was an absolute dream to work with. Not ONCE did I feel uncomfortable, unattractive, or like a stuffed sausage. And when I say Im plus sized, I mean my hips are a size 28-30 and my top is a 24-26. If I can fit comfortably into at least 5 dresses, you can too!Seriously, I cannot recommend this place enough. And the prices are so damn reasonable! RUN to this store, dont walk. I promise youll love the experience.

Liz was an absolute dream to work with! She is not only very friendly but definitely knows her stuff when it comes to wedding dresses. I wasn’t sure I was going to find my dress at Blue Sky after having made a few trips to various bridal shops but wanted to check out their selection since it was so convenient… and my sister found a dress here a few years back. They had tons of gorgeous dresses and I ended up finding THE dress! Thank you!

We had a fabulous experience at Blue Sky! Abby was our stylist and she was wonderful to work with. We had the place to ourself and after selecting a few of options she knew exactly what I was looking for. As a curvy bride, I felt like I had a great range of options to work with. While we ultimately didnt end up finding a dress here, I would highly recommend Blue Sky to anyone!

I just came in today and had the most amazing experience with Mikyla (I forgot exactly but I think that’s her name). She was amazing and so nice and took amazing care with helping me find a dress. I was blown away with how wonderful she and the place was. If I could rate it higher I would.

Absolutely in love with the dress I found at Blue Sky Bridal. Not only that, but I also absolutely loved the experience I had here. I traveled from Bozeman, MT all the way back to Seattle, WA (where I grew up) so that I could go to this dress shop in particular. I booked the private appointment, which allowed me to bring 5 guests and reserve the entire boutique for myself and my group. I would highly recommend this option. It made the appointment very intimate and more relaxed.I was overwhelmed at first when I walked in and saw all the options. SO many wonderful dresses. I picked some dresses out to start with, but the employee who was helping me immediately picked up on my specific style and picked out even more things that I never knew I would LOVE. She took note of which dresses made my face light up. And when the decisions got tough… she helped me work through my thoughts to narrow it down. And I was right on budget! At no point did I feel like I had to stretch my budget to find the right dress. And if they were going to grab a dress that was slightly more expensive, they made sure to ask my permission first. I really appreciated this.I ended up with the dress of my dreams and I could not have asked for a better experience!

This was one of the best wedding dress shops Ive ever been to. They really took the time to explain everything to you and you can rent out the shop for a small fee to have 90 minutes with just your bridal party so youre not competing for dresses or space. I felt like a princess and found my dream dress! I already had purchased a dress from the standard dress shop and had ordered some online to try. This was by far the best place, and Im so happy to kept looking.I love that brides can consign their dresses if they dont want to hold onto them to share the excitement and dresses with other brides.I would highly recommend them for any bridal looking.

Mikaela was so patient and helpful during my appointment. I was nervous but she made me feel so at ease and provided so much information about alterations, how things work, etc. I chose to rent the space and dont regret it. They made me feel so beautiful and special. They also have a much bigger dress selection than I expected for women of all sizes which I appreciated. Definitely recommend!!

My experience at Blue Sky Bridal was everything I could have dreamed of! Their website is very user friendly with clearly outlined appointment packages and Covid-19 guidelines to help keep everyone safe.On the day I was greeted at my scheduled time by Cass, a wonderful human being who made me feel so very welcome and excited to find my wedding dress. I am not typically a dress up type person and had a fairly horrendous first experience looking for a wedding dress so I was a bit nervous. She put me at ease and made sure I understood some of the more nuanced things about wedding dresses, such as sizing guidelines and why they are the way they are.Cass explained the whole process and was very very helpful. She had me pick a few dresses that caught my attention speed dating style then it was time to see what I liked. She was clearly very knowledgable about different fashions, designers, and styles but never made me feel dumb about those things. I even learned what ruching is! She asked very good questions about how each dress made me feel, what I liked, didnt like, and discussed options during the alteration phase.After my third dress Cass had a good handle on what was working for me and brought in a few more options. One of which was THE ONE!!! I was able to put it on hold for 3 days to really make sure she was the one I wanted. After looking at the pictures my friends took at the shop, and falling in love with it more each time, I called and told Blue Sky Bridal I was going to go through with the purchase. The person who answered the phone wasnt Cass, but she was just as excited for me as if she were the person who helped me find my lovely dress. Check out was really simple and I got a follow up email from Cass congratulating me and giving me a list of trusted tailors.This one hour of my life was so very epic! It felt really good to be in the hands of someone so talented, open, and genuinely interested in helping me feel amazing on the day I marry my best friend. Thank you Cass and thank you Blue Sky Bridal. I will be telling anyone I know who is looking for a wedding dress to see you all first!

Giselle was absolutely amazing! So is so kind and thoughtful. She knew so much about dresses and how to pick the best ones to compliment my features. The experience was so easy and fun. I cant say enough about how helpful Giselle was and how great the experience was! Add this to your wedding dress shop list - you wont regret it!

I went shopping here today and loved the variety and quality of the dresses! Every time I called with questions, a friendly and energetic voice answered. I highly recommend checking this shop out of looking for a wedding dress. I am a wedding dress size 18/20 and there was a large variety of dresses for me to look through.

This was the third store I’d visited and both Cass and Liz were wonderful to work with. I was able to find a couple of dresses I loved, and we were able to find ~the one~ here! They were both so encouraging, patient, answered any questions I had, and really felt like part of the process without being salesy. Could not recommend this team more!

Mikaela and Cass were incredible! It was such a positive energy.

I just had my appointment to try on dresses this weekend and it was such a wonderful experience. Liz worked with me and she is out of this world amazing! They dont even work on commission, so to get such thoughtful, friendly, and involved service is honestly incredible and rare. All the dresses are in impeccable condition and everything I tried on was truly beautiful, and there were so many styles and designs for me to try on, and Im on the larger size (Size 16/18 in street size, so wedding dress sizing you need to go up to sizes 22/24), so having more options to look through was a big deal for me as usually I lose out on having great options to look at by being in larger sizes. So that helped me feel beautiful and excited. The changing space and couch for my entourage that came with me (my twin sis and future sis-in-law) was intimate and perfect, and Liz was solely by my side helping me in and out of the gowns, pinning them in place to help give me the full picture of what they would look like once tailored to my body-shape, and asking me pin-pointing questions to help guide me. I ended up finding a dress that was just stunning and I knew the minute I saw it that I had to have it. So what I thought would just be an in and out appointment turned out to me finding the perfect dress to get married in!!! I simply love it and cant wait to wear it again. Thank you Liz!!!!!

Found my dress here yesterday!! We had such an incredible experience with Liz. As a size 14/16 there were sooo many options and everyone in the shop made me feel beautiful and confident. I definitely recommend for the bridal experience: so helpful, so positive and intimate, great velvet couches and mirrors. As a person who works for a hospital, I also was VERY appreciative of their mindfulness and covid precautions--our session felt so safe and joyous. Thank you Liz and team!!

I really enjoyed my experience with Blue Sky Bridal! I came in with a tight deadline - my wedding is in 3 months! I had never tried on any dresses before, but Liz was professional and so helpful in pulling a variety of gowns to see what I liked. The selection of dresses was huge and there was something for every style and budget. I was very pleasantly surprised; my dress was at the higher end of their price range and it was still less than $1500. Of the 8 or so dresses I tried on, most were less than $1000. Liz made me feel like nothing was more important than how I felt in each dress and I didnt feel any pressure to buy. I highly recommend Blue Sky Bridal to anyone looking for a gorgeous dress without breaking the bank :) Huge thanks to Liz and the rest of the team!

This is a great option for anybody looking for quality gowns and bridal accessories at a discount! There is a wide variety of styles and they can easily work within your budget. Giselle was super helpful and knowledgeable about alterations, and giving options on what you could add or remove to the dresses, and she caught onto my personal style really quickly. Cass gave me great advice about bridal accessories like the veil length and overskirts! All the other staff I didn’t work directly with were super friendly as well. I found my beautiful dress and veil here within my budget. I would recommend anyone try this bridal consignment over a the standard bridal boutiques, especially for your first time trying dresses on!

I cannot recommend Blue Sky Bridal enough!! Booking an appointment was seamless and they sent out a few reminders leading up to the day of the appointment. Giselle was incredible. She made everything so fun and was incredibly kind and patient. The shop itself was very cute and felt comfortable and welcoming. The inventory here was also amazing and affordable! I love that this shop is LGBTQ friendly and women-led. I loved my experience here and would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you!!!!

Giselle is beyond amazing in every possible way. I have so much love for Blue Sky Bridal thanks to her!! Its a stressful thing trying to find the dress that youre going to be married in and she made the process anything but stressful. Blue Sky Bridal is a very inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly place! You will not ever feel uncomfortable here and I cannot say how much that meant to me, especially since there are times in trying to put on large wedding dresses things might get slightly intimate. I sincerely and deeply appreciate Giselle for not batting and eye and helping me out like she did. I highly recommend Blue Sky Bridal and you can trust youll be taken care of! ♥ Thank you thank you thank you Giselle!!! Youre a wonderful person!

Ladies, this place is a gift from heaven. I have been to MANY bridal boutiques and chain stores with my 7 friends for whom I was a bridesmaid, and in all of our shopping I never saw so lovely and easy an experience unfold as mine was today at Blue Sky Bridal. They have gorgeous dresses (at incredible prices, might I add:). Mikaela worked directly with me (she is absolutely divine, I cannot sing her praises enough), but the other associate was also lovely.Thank you, Mikaela and Blue Sky Bridal, for all you did to make my experience such a positive one.Very noteworthy: The plus size dresses that they carry are gorgeous! Im excited to wear mine at my wedding in a few months (and maybe try it on a few more times;-)

Both my fiance and I had appointments with Mikaela and she was FANTASTIC. She brought me a dress at one point and said, What do you think? ...Even if you dont think youll like it, I might insist that you try it on. That was the one!! She is a great listener with a skilled eye who knows her stock really well. All of the other ladies I spoke with were wonderful as well, complimenting my dress and my engagement ring. This place is so cute and made us feel right at home. Mikaela even went above and beyond to sneak me in between appointments for one last try-on before I committed. I would 100% recommend this place to any brides looking to find some unique and well-priced gowns!

Not the bride here but went dress shopping for my best friends wedding. We had gone to another boutique beforehand and all I can say is wow! McKayla (sorry if I spelled that wrong) was incredible. She was so intuitive! She actually listened to my friends reactions and was able to pull perfect dresses! She found the perfect dress that combined everything my friend was looking for. It was an amazing experience!

Cass was AWESOME! She helped me find the perfect dress and I absolutely love it! She improvised with using a veil as fabric for an example of having sleeves added onto to my dress and it looked beautiful! I highly recommend trying on wedding dresses here! She made this experience so fun and made me feel super comfortable. Thank you so so much!!

Genuinely disgusted with how the staff literally just sat in her phone. Scrolling through social media, while my wife and I searched for dresses. Just a gross experience, she literally didn’t get out of her chair (Cass) until I pointed it out.And like magic, she swoops in to assist.What’s the point.... of coming to a place like this, if they don’t help you. Ignore you and literally pretend you do not exist?I do not recommend this place. Especially for people of color.

We had an AMAZING experience shopping for my wedding dress at Blue Sky Bridal! Giselle was my consultant and she made the appointment so enjoyable! She knew all of the dresses very well and did a great job helping me to find the perfect dress for my personal style and the style of my wedding. She was also very respectful of the price range we were shopping within.We really enjoyed the whole experience, I highly recommend Blue Sky Bridal to any bride!

This was the best shopping experience Ive ever had! Our salesperson, Liz, was incredibly helpful, encouraging, and the opposite of pushy. She was a total expert on dresses and shared with us so much valuable information about dress shopping. She picked up on what I liked immediately and was able to help me hone in on dresses I would love and then helped me find THE dress, the perfect dress Im so happy with. This store is set up brilliantly with small photos of the dresses on the tags so you can see what the dress looks like on, as well as key information like the height, the retail price, etc. They were super careful about sanitizing everything and following covid protocols. Thank you so much Blue Sky Bridal!

I recently had an incredible visit at Blue Sky Bridal. Cass and the other staff were amazing at helping me feel like a bride (which has been hard during COVID)! The service she gave was excellent, whether that was being super knowledgeable about the gowns, anticipating my preferences, or adjusting the tripod so my mom and MOHs could see the details of the dresses. I couldnt stop thinking about their service (or the dress!) at my next appointment and had to go back to get my dress the same day.Even with the COVID restrictions (which they/we followed diligently), the appointment was special and as close as possible to what Id always envisioned. I cant recommend Blue Sky Bridal enough.

Giselle made me feel comfortable and relaxed at my (very first!) wedding dress appointment. She listened to what I was looking for, made note of details I liked in dresses as I tried a few on, then found me a dress that had each of the elements I was looking for! Very happy with the overall experience.

Can’t say enough how great the experience was here. I visited twice before I found my dress, and both times had so much fun. Coming in I didn’t have a super strong idea of what I wanted, but Mikaela and Giselle both were great at picking up on what I responded to and finding exactly what I didn’t even know I was looking for.Getting engaged during COVID, I was really worried that planning my wedding would be all of the work with none of the fun; so happy Blue Sky Bridal proved me wrong - my fam and I had a great experience, and I got an amazing dress that I’m so psyched to wear!

I had a fantastic experience looking for a dress here! If youre looking for a good deal, or love thrift/consignment shopping, definitely make this your first stop. They have a somewhat limited selection compared to a traditional salon, but there was still plenty to look through in my size, and everything seemed high quality and designer. I had the general rules and Covid guidelines explained to me and then was allowed to look through the racks and take pictures of my favorites. My guest was not allowed to go through the racks herself, due to Covid precautions. Then I was told to pull 5-6 options from my favorites to try on. After that, my consultant grabbed a few more suggestions.My consultant Michaela (not sure of spelling, sorry!) was incredibly knowledgable, kind, and helpful. She was very attentive to covid guidelines which I found comforting since it is a small shop with limited room. We went a bit over our time slot but didnt feel at all rushed or pressured. I definitely had a great experience and would recommend this shop to a bride looking for an eco-conscious option at a great price.

Giselle is awesome! I bought my dress here in July of 2018. My fiance and I were only engaged for 73 days and I did not have a dress about a month out from the wedding still and we had a very low budget set. Giselle was able to keep my nerves calm and even though I told her what I didnt want...she knew what my curvy body needed. I had this picture of my dream dress in my head and it would have worked with my body 25 lbs ago. She grabbed a dress that was everything I didnt want and just said to please try it on to humor her...man did I feel so sexy! I tried it on and 30 minutes plus tears of joy and some hugs later...I walked out with a dress that was absolutely perfect!

The day I visited Blue Sky Bridal, I also had 2 other bridal appointments - Blue Sky definitely stood out to me as the best! Giselle was so kind and attentive. The shop itself is beautiful - lighting is perfect, big dressing room, fun little photo spots, etc. I tried on dresses that caught my eye and Giselle also brought some for me to try. I really appreciated her tips and tricks, like using a veil to see if I wanted to add on sleeves. I ended up buying a beautiful dress, not just because it is perfect, but because the whole experience with Blue Sky was perfect! Highly recommend!

I can not say enough good things about Blue Sky Bridal. It will forever recommend it to anyone in the Seattle or Portland area. Their COVID19 safety guidelines were amazing. They had us wait outside to social distance before coming in, we wiped out feet, washed out hands, everyone had masks on the whole time. Appointment times made it so there was a limited amount of people in the store. All the dresses were in bags with description cards outside. It showed a photo, designer, size and price. My friend who came with me, picked out some dresses to try on, We worked with Giselle (in the Seattle location) and she was AMAZING. She really got to know what I was looking for and offered new choices, she really made me feel comfortable and she was so knowledgable about wedding dresses and weddings in general. I tried on a lace dress that I loved and couldnt stop thinking about it even when I tried on other dresses. We went to another dress shop after and the whole time we kept thinking about Blue Sky. We immediately went back and bought the dress. Not to mention that the dresses were affordable and they try and work within your budget!

I was skeptical that Id find a dress here because Ive not really liked much of any dresses Ive seen. The shop was just Giselle and I (I believe thats her name) and honestly, it was just so lovely. She got what I was looking for, had a strategy on how to size me, and ended up pulling a dress Id never have chosen for myself... which of course is the one I chose. I had no friends or family with me as they live across the country, so it was like having a proxy girlfriend with me to help try on dresses. Id choose this bridal shop a thousand times. Thanks so much, and Im so glad theyre making it through COVID times.

I went to Blue Sky Bridal and rented out the boutique for my wedding dress fitting. The experience was so lovely! They played the music I wanted, accommodated my guests (even virtual guests!) and were very Covid conscious. The person doing my fitting was super helpful, easy going, and comfortable to be around. They had so many dresses to choose from in an array of styles, prices, and sizes. I found the most beautiful, beautiful dress and I couldn’t be more excited to get married in it! Thank you Blue Sky Bridal for such an amazing and stress free time!

This place was my first stop on my wedding dress shopping. I was pretty nervous and probably was awkward but employees (sorry I cant remember their name...:( ) were very welcoming and were super helpful.I love the fact that they did not push you to buy the dress from them but making sure that I do feel comfortable in the dress. The lady who helped me clearly explained how the purchase procedure works, what I should look into when choosing dress, how alteration works, etc....and most of all, made sure that brides buy a dress that they feel comfortable and confident.I ended up buying my dress from other location, however, I would definitely recommend visiting this place when the brides are ready to buy a dress. Thank you for being so helpful!

I booked the boutique on a Saturday night and was not disappointed! Mikaela was THE BEST consultant I could have ever asked for, I swear it was like she was part of my party. She knew exactly what I was looking for and, by her suggestion, I found the most AMAZING dress perfect for a December elopement on Whidbey Island. Mikaela made me feel confident and beautiful, and the whole experience with her and my girls was exactly what I needed to get the wedding planning started. On top of that, every dress I tried on was incredibly affordable, the shop was super clean, and they even provided a list of seamstresses who could help alter my dress in the quick turnaround time I needed. I left the appointment with literally zero worries and a dress in hand! I cannot wait to get married in the dress of my dreams, thanks to Mikaela and Blue Sky Bridal!

After a disappointing trip to Davids Bridal, my mother-in-law found Blue Sky Bridal online and we went in to look for a wedding dress. Our experience with Blue Sky was absolutely amazing, such helpful employees who are truly passionate and great with people, and helped me find the perfect dress. The cost shocked me, nothing like the 5-10k mediocre dresses we had looked at previously. I got an absolutely wonderful dress, and had the best time at the wedding. Without Blue Sky this wouldnt have been possible. Wish I could give a million stars! Thank you ladies!

I bought and cosigned my dress with Blue Sky and it was such a great experience! I didnt really know what style of dress I wanted but my stylist helped me find the perfect dress. She was super attentive and helped me figure out what I did and didnt like about each dress. They have a great selection and I never felt pressured to buy a dress. Plus she never brought back a dress outside of my price range for me to try on. All the dresses are in great shape, so even though youre buying second-hand a lot of the dresses looked practically new.I took my dress to a seamstress who told me that because of the lace appliques near the bottom of the dress the dress was unalterable to my height (5 feet) even with my 4-inch heels. She told me she would have to cut the lace appliques in half, basically ruining the design motif, and quoted me for almost as much as the dress cost to hem the dress. I called Blue Sky in tears, worried I wouldnt be able to wear my dress after spending all my dress budget. Giselle calmed me down, reassured me that the dress was alterable to my height, told me if that wasnt they would of course take the dress back, and recommended three seamstresses who had altered the dress before.I made an appointment with one of them, who quoted me far less for the work and reassured me she could hem the dress without ruining the lace appliques!Unfortunately our wedding was canceled due to covid and we ended up eloping instead. Since the dress hadnt been altered yet, I decided to cosign with Blue Sky. Even with covid restrictions in place, cosigning was easy and safe! My dress sold within 2 months and Blue Sky made it so easy. I recommend the place to every single bride! They really went above and beyond all my expectations.

Great prices, wide range of dresses, and a fun shopping experience (especially for this bride, who gets anxiety even from online shopping). I highly recommend this place, and that shoppers come with a flexible mindset. The dress I ended up with is very different from what I had in mind, which is a testament to Giselles expert eye. I felt both supported and autonomous in my decision, and never felt pressured to buy. Im thrilled to be wearing a dress that wont be worn by 500 other brides this year, and that I didnt have to pay an arm and a leg or look all over the place for it. More money for things that matter.... like the honeymoon ;)

I came into Blue Sky Bridal at the beginning of February 2020 and my experience here was fantastic. This location was recommended to me by a friend who also found her wedding gown there in 2019. There are a great variety of gowns to choose from. Mikaela assisted me and she was awesome! She understood my style very quickly and pulled perfect gowns for me to try on. She was also incredibly friendly and made me feel very comfortable with the whole process. Great experience all around!

Shopping for my gown at Blue Sky Bridal has been such a wonderful experience! Mikaela was my stylist and she squeezed me into the schedule even though there was pretty much no availability on the first day of their Thanksgiving sale. Although covid-related restrictions were in place, I felt well taken care of, especially when it came to picking dresses, getting help in and out of dresses, and getting help with advice for alterations, shapewear, and more. I seriously cant recommend Blue Sky Bridal enough. I love their business model of selling once-wed and sample gowns because its more environmentally friendly, plus I actually got to walk out of the boutique with my actual dress, rather than waiting months for it to be ready! Thank you so much Mikaela, and Blue Sky!

I am SO SO happy that I came to Blue Sky Bridal. The experience was wonderful, I was the only bride in the store. The girl helping me was just SO great at helping me to see different visions for the dresses. I fell in love with a dress, put a deposit on it to hold it for 3 days and came back for it. All staff members were over the top helpful. My mom was having a hard time understanding some alterations items and they were very patient in getting her to feel comfortable about the dress being altered for success. Ive already recommended them to others who have gone and had an amazing experience as well!

I came in to Blue Sky Bridal with my maid of honor the day before I was supposed to try on dresses with all my girls just to look at some dresses and ideally narrow down which styles and types I like best before the main dress day. Im so glad I did, in hindsight. I had an appointment with Giselle and she was amazing. So down to earth, super helpful, great eye for my personal style and preferences, helped pull dresses I hadnt seen but that I loved, and always kept things within my budget. We narrowed it down to my two favorites but I wasnt ready to pick either as the one so she helped me set up a second try on the day after, working around my schedule of plans we already had for the main dress try on day. She didnt pressure me at all to pick a dress then and there, just told me to sleep on it and see how I feel. I went to another dress shop the day after but just kept comparing back to one of the dresses at Blue Sky Bridal, and started worrying that someone might have already purchased my dress there. Thats how we knew that was probably the one. We called and asked if they could squeeze us in for a second time dress try on a few hours early and they figured out a way to sneak us in between appointments. They set me up with a veil, a mock bouquet, and I was totally sold. Got to say yes to my dress, got a list of suggested tailors all over the Seattle area to work with for the fittings, and out the door without feeling rushed or like a burden while they were busy helping other brides. It was all around a great experience, they had wonderful advice and insight, and Im in love with my dress. I had always looked at this one designer online but couldnt afford the prices. My sample dress hasnt ever been worn by a bride so it was in perfect condition (to be fair though, all the dresses thee seemed like they were in perfect condition) and I got to take it home for almost half the retail price. I would wholeheartedly recommend any brides schedule an appointment to check it out. You might find your dream dress with a lot less stress!

I got my wedding dress from blue sky bridal in greenlake, Giselle helped me out and I had an absolutely amazing experience. I thought for sure I wanted a mermaid style wedding dress and picked out several dresses that were all similar. After trying them all on Giselle picked out a few different style dresses that she said would be flattering. They were all great but one in particular I loved! It a ballroom style dress that I would have never ever tried on if she hadnt suggested. Even better it was less than my budgeted number I told her! Thanks Giselle for making me feel like a princess on my wedding day!

The staff here was wonderful. They didnt pressure at all, and were very helpful. The shop itself was cute and professionally run. Smaller shop than some, but the dresses were all cleaned and in great shape. The staff was good about respecting your price range. They schedule by appointments so you have most or all of the shop to your bridal party. Overall, great experience.

Blue Sky Bridal made it easy to consign my dress! The communication was great and the terms were clear! I had had my dress online for over a year, and in a short amount of time Blue Sky had found a bride that could enjoy the dress! I HIGHLY recommend Blue Sky for your dress needs! They show a great amount of care and respect for each dress!

I had a fabulous time selecting a gown at Blue Sky. Michaela was VERY helpful and, having once been a bridal salesperson - I think some of the COVID precautions should remain in place long after we are cleared to return to normal! The bride, and ONLY the bride, can go through the garment bags and make selections - umm, brilliant!My party was small - and we couldnt crack open the bottle of bubbly, but we had a wonderful time and I found a dress that knocked the wind out of me. In the best possible way.Michaela also brought a bit of surreal fluff to the proceedings - a blush ostrich feather shrug. Needless to say, hit of the day - and my sister and friend purchased it for me on the spot. Well, after reassurances that they could borrow it afterwards.Thank you, Blue Sky and thank you, Michaela

Cass was wonderful! This was my first place to start wedding dress shopping. Ive been dreading it. Ive lost weight, but Im not at my ideal yet. I came very nervous and not knowing what to expect. Im very self conscious of my weight, Im a 12 street so that puts me into borderline plus size category for wedding dresses. Cass explained that many wedding dresses are in vintage sizes so to just think of it as a different size scale than street size. Cass also explained how wedding dresses are constructed differently than regular dresses. I couldnt imagine a better start for dress shopping. Cass put me at ease. She encouraged me to try different styles of dresses that I would never have picked, but ended up looking good. Thank you Cass for a wonderful dress experience!Update: I went back the next day and Mikaela was wonderful as well!

I had such a great experience here! Wide variety of styles and most of the dresses were under $1000 and in perfect condition. I appreciated how careful they were to not dirty any of the dresses, while making you feel really comfortable and welcome. I also love the idea of recycling dresses. Cass, was wonderful and very knowledgeable, she even took tons of pictures for me when I came for a second try-on alone. I came in twice and ultimately purchased a gorgeous gown that I cant wait to wear. I would highly recommend this bridal shop to anyone!

I found my dress here, but even if I hadnt this place is wonderful. I felt like the stylist really listened to me and made excellent recommendations. It is a very quiet and personal experience here versus any other bridal store Ive been too. Plus their gowns feel luxurious and you are able to try on anything in your size. I felt like I really had the best experience trying dresses on here.

SO GREAT!! I came here with my mom and soon-to-be mother in law a few months ago. Liz was my stylist and even though I found a gown that took all of our breaths away, Liz was very supportive when I said I wanted to look around at other places before I said yes to the dress, she was also very supportive when I came back and ended up buying it!! Beautiful little shop with consignment prices, a great selection and amazing service!

I had a wonderful experience here. The consultant I had was extremely helpful and insightful. Didn’t feel pressured to buy anything and they were very realistic about alteration questions I had and were accommodating to my wants. This is a great place to look if you have a budget and don’t mind getting a used wedding dress! Just don’t go in with expectations of finding a certain dress and keep an open mind to alterations!

Review №76

Giselle was very kind, welcoming, and asked questions I had not even thought of myself yet, but that were very helpful.She was respectful of my preferred budget and honest about what the store may or may not have within that budget.She brought gowns she thought would fit my style and brought them straight to me; no sorting through every gown in the store myself.At no point did I ever feel rushed to make a decision, pressured to buy a certain gown, or unable to give my honest opinion on a dress I tried on.Only four stars because although my experience at Blue Sky Bridal was extremely positive, I was given a significant amount of incorrect information regarding what alterations would need to be made on the gown I ultimately selected.In addition, the alteration price estimates I was given while selecting my dress were WAY off and MUCH more expensive than I was anticipating. (I went to a regular alteration place that works with a significant number of wedding gowns, but did not seek a wedding only alteration seamstress, as those are generally much more expensive.)Lastly, since the dress was secondhand, it was in need of a good cleaning, something I had not thought of (very naive in retrospect) and also much more expensive than I would have guessed.None of these things make me any less likely to recommend Blue Sky Bridal, but rather, are important to keep in mind when determining your budget and shopping for your perfect dress.All said and done, with the dress purchase price, alterations, and cleaning (not pressed,) my dress cost came out to $764.80. Which is not bad, compared to what some people spend on a wedding dress, but was MUCH, MUCH more than I wanted to spend on a dress I purchased used and will only wear once in my life.

Love love loved my experience at Blue Sky! Right away, Cass was great and so easy to talk to. She listened to what I wanted and helped me pull some great dresses to try on. She was so knowledgeable, understood my budget, and made it a relaxing and fun experience! She even recommended a great Mexican restaurant for my group to go to afterwards. I ended up walking away with a dress I absolutely LOVED for an amazing price. Definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for a great deal on high quality dresses!

Had the most pleasant experience here. Our salesperson Giselle was wonderful. I was expecting this process to be a lot more hassle than fun. I was so pleasantly surprised by my experience. It was fun, relaxed and yet highly professional. Minimal pressure, individualized, caring and supportive service. Found an incredible dress that I couldnt be happier with. I rarely give 5 stars - but I will today!

If I could go back to hang out with Cass, I would. Although I didnt leave with a dress this visit (my second wedding dress shopping visit ever) I had a wonderful experience. Cass did a fantastic job at teaching me a few things, explaining how it all works and guiding me towards appropriate dresses. We traveled from Vancouver, Canada to visit this store and I love supporting the consignment nature. I may have to pop by again to see how Cass is doing, and maybe have another round of dresses! The change rooms at this boutique were very spacious with flattering lighting, appreciated when youre in your birthday suit half the time. The store is quaint and has room for two brides to try on dresses at the same time. Thanks for a lovely experience!

Giselle did an amazing job of helping me find the perfect dress. She was considerate of my budget and went above and beyond to find the dress that was the right style, size, and price. Although my dress was previously a sample it was in excellent condition.The shop has a great setup and plenty of space for several guests.

I had such an amazing experience at Blue Sky Bridal! I knew I didnt want to go to a chain bridal store and wanted something more personal. I also love the idea of saving the planet one dress at a time! This is what initially caught my attention and why I made the appointment. Everything else fell perfectly into place and I found the dress I was looking for! They dont work off of commission here and dont pressure you like you would experience in different stores. Giselle was who I worked with and a BIG reason why my experience was so great. She was very easy going, but also very honest with me. She gave me pointers with every dress I tried on - which I hadnt experienced with other shops. You could tell she knew what she was doing from the moment you walked in the door. She is very confident and knowledgeable which, in my opinion, is what every bride needs when finding their dress! Blue Sky Bridal is definitely where I will send my friends in the future!

I both purchased my dress here and put it up for consignment after my wedding. Both halves of the experience were excellent. Theres a good selection of dresses and the appointment was very low pressure. I got a designer dress for well under $1000 along with a beautiful veil and sash. On consignment I got a few hundred back which made things even more reasonable!

I absolutely loved my experience here. This was the first and only place I went dress shopping. The first dress is tried on was the dress I ended up buying. They have a variety of dress styles, sizes, and price ranges. Cass was amazing and helpful. Wonderful bridal store with many options. Highly recommend.

Stellar customer service! I purchased my wedding dress here in 2015 at an amazing price for a high quality gown. Giselle, really did a great job of taking care of the dresses on consignment while also still making me feel like a beautiful bride to be! The selection wasnt as great as a large box store but the pieces were each very elegant and offered various styles, shades, and sizes. I love this shop even more as I have become more on reducing the amount of waste I add to the landfills. This is an excellent example of how dresses worn once by a person can be equally as charming for more than one bride! I was even able to reconsign the dress a year later for the exact same price!

Blue Sky was my first and only stop to look at wedding dresses - I ended up going with a dress from here. The great thing is that all of their dresses are marked down and very affordable, due to either being once-worn or samples. My consultant, Andra, was fantastic and so helpful throughout my entire appointment. She’s also a bridal tailor, so her opinions on alterations were great to have while I tried on different fits. Highly recommend this store.

I went here with my friend as her first stop for wedding dress shopping. The gals who work here were really helpful, walking her through the whole process and the kinds of things she should consider as she tries on dresses. They made note of the dresses she loved in their records so she could call back to see if they were still there. The dress selection they had was pretty big for a small shop and they were really love dresses. It was a great experience for all of us and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

This place is great! They have an awesome selection of dresses and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I worked with Giselle and she was super nice and mingled with everyone that came. The dressing rooms are super cute and have fans because it definitely gets hot trying on dresses. There was even another bride there looking for dresses and it wasnt cramped or awkward at all and there was space for both our families. So happy I found my dream dress for a great price! Thank you again Blue Sky Bridal!!

Everyone at Blue Sky Bridal was warm, friendly, helpful, and honest! I worked with Cass and showed her a few of the dresses I had loved from another boutique. She immediately recognized my favorite dress - they had just gotten the exact same dress in the day prior! I tried on a few other gorgeous dresses before re-trying my favorite dress that I had tried on at the other boutique. I loved it and was SO excited - the price was almost half of the original dress from the other boutique. However, it had been altered and was snug around my hips and a lil on the short side. Cass told me that they had previously looked at the alterations on this dress and said it should be easy to let out - however she could not make any promises. Thankfully Blue Sky Bridal lets you take the dress to a tailor to double check that the alterations you want/need are possible and wont be crazy expensive! They just took down my card info and gave me 3 days to take to a tailor - they even provided me a list of recommendations. I went and saw Andra who was absolutely amazing. I can get all the alterations I need to about $200! That means with tax and alterations included this dress will be around a total of $1100. The dress at the other boutique without alterations or tax was $1400! I feel like I got a great deal AND I love how eco-friendly it is having a consigned wedding gown. I am super happy with my experience at Blue Sky Bridal! They were over-communicative, eager to help, were never pushy, and I felt like they truly had my best interests at heart. I couldnt be happier!

I thought for sure I would have to search high and low for a wedding dress, and I certainly didnt think Id find it on my first try, but thats what happened!Giselle was so warm, professional, and fun. She made the process relaxing and efficient. She also figured out my personal style immediately, and helped me pick styles I would like that were safely in my budget.I had initially worried there wouldnt be enough selection, since its consignment, but there were so many beautiful options, and I ended up walking out with a dress that had never been worn, and would have been out of my budget to buy from another shop. A dream come true!! Everyone should start their dress search here

Wonderful service, Giselle sincerely wanted to find a dress that was exactly what I wanted and within my budget! She always waited to hear my opinions and then gave her honest feedback. She helped me find THE dress and then even let me make another quick stop by the shop later in the day to get my maid of honors approval before purchasing.

Loved it here. I was very nervous about going to a mass produced big bridal salon because I dont like crowds and I often feel nervous about strangers and body confidence. I had Giselle as my consultant and she was amazing, she is the best. I bought my dress on the first day I ever tried on dresses - in fact, I bought the first dress I tried on. What a wonderful place!

My wife got her dress from blue sky bridal. She first looked at BHLDN then found the same dress for a discounted price. It was new, never been worn but they still had it discounted about $200 off the retail price. So we got it, got married, then had it drycleaned and sold it back to blue sky bridal. Blue sky bridal Will sell the dress and I know they have much higher chance of selling it because they get a lot of traction. When the dress is sold, they take 50% of the selling price and cut me a check for the other half. I highly recommend blue sky bridal.
