Super friendly, helpful staff and a wonderful selection of gowns reasonably priced! Didn’t find anything this time, but their stock changes regularly so will be definitely checking again in the future. They’re also taking Covid precautions seriously, so that made the shopping experience a lot less stressful.

Wonderful service, I wish they had more plus sized options but know they take donations so not much they can do about their selection. The prices were amazing. Definitely check them out if you are looking for your dress, if anything to try on some dresses and narrow down your taste.

There arent enough stars for me to rate Brides for a Cause at the level they deserve. The staff are kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I went in feeling uncomfortable and out of my element-- I was shopping alone, needed advice, and had a budget on the low end of the spectrum. They never made me feel bad or self-conscious about being alone or my budget, helped me choose dresses and consider styles, and eventually helped me find the perfect dress in my price range. It felt like a miracle and a relief, every visit was a great experience that made me excited about dress shopping instead of dreading it. Other positive things:1. The stock is frequently refreshed, even if there was only a week between my visits there were always new dresses to try in a variety of styles and prices.2. The dressing rooms are large and comfortable.3. Their COVID procedures were fantastic.4. The whole thing is, as it says in the name, for a good cause. You can even donate your dress back to them after your wedding, which I will absolutely be doing.5. Im just going to reiterate how fantastic their staff is, I cannot speak highly enough of them.Thank you SO MUCH, Brides for a Cause, for making this such a positive experience.

My dress was incredible. I will remember it forever, so will my husband! BFAC was wonderful at tailoring my fitting appointment to the exact styles I was searching for at my wedding. Im getting compliments weeks later.

Great place with good quality selection at a much better price than other bridal shops. I didn’t actually get my dress there (though I looked), but my friend did find “the one” for her. Friendly, helpful staff! I donated my dress and headband, and it was incredibly easy (just dropped it off). Love this business idea and would recommend for any brides-to-be!

The store is amazing!! They have a huge selection (this was half of it) and they had quite a few brand new dresses with tags for great prices!! The ladies that work there were fantastic and it was the best shopping experience I’ve ever had! They have great COVID guidelines in place too. Highly recommend!!

I got my dream dress for 80 dollars!!! Seriously just go there and see, they could have your dream dress too!I went to Davids bridal and all the dresses in my price range of 400 were all the same maybe slightly different in look but really just nothing unique.Its funny because the dress that I got was the first one I tried on. I did try on a bunch of other styles but in the end none of them compared to that very first one I tried. The lady working there at the time was wonderful so helpful I didnt feel rushed one bit like I did at Davids. I think it would be worth it if your not sure about buying a used dress to go to Davids first just so you can compare and know you arent missing out on anything. It really is just one day and I personally didnt feel good about 400 dollar dress just because it felt like a waist for one day. I have 0 regrets and was 100% satisfied. 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks you brides for a cause!!

I found my perfect dress here and the sales rep, Megan, was awesome! She immediately got the vibe I was going for and brought out many dresses for me to try on which really sped the process up and gave me enough time to find the one! Prices were affordable in my opinion and I love that its for a good cause. Very clean and safe process during covid. Only one person allowed to shop in the store at a time, so I had the whole place to myself plus my one guest. Great experience overall!

Visited here a couple months ago and found my dream dress! The employees there are super sweet and helpful, and the collection has a variety of styles to try on and choose from. The dress I bought was about $1500 off the listing price, which is AMAZING. Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful experience at Brides for a Cause! All of the ladies working here were so kind and helpful.I really appreciated that they showed us the layout and then let us do our own thing and take all the time we needed.Any time we needed help someone was happy to assist, but nobody was breathing down your neck.It was a wonderful no-pressure happy atmosphere. The dresses were incredible! I feel in love with a unique dress I wouldnt have expected to fall totally in love with!And the fact that they are a non-profit that donates to numerous causes for women is wonderful.This is my number 1 recommendation for any bride shopping for a dress!

I meant to write this review awhile ago, but things have been crazy! I had the best appointment with Meghan last month, she was so incredibly sweet and helpful. I know it must be hard to provide appointments during this time, but she made myself and my mom feel right at home. Thank you so much!

Review №15

I love the fact that this place donates money for buying a dress. They have a large variety and change of inventory very frequent. These dresses come from either floor samples from other bridal stores or donated from a bride.These dresses are prices so well. I had high hopes my daughter would find a dress here. We will be back for sure to check out new stock.The place only allows the bride look amounght the racks for dresses for covid reasons. I get it. But they allow the Mom to come and help you try on the dress once it is picked out.They take covid protocol 100%. Masks at all times and wash your hands.All the staff are friendly and helpful and so easy to work with. We had a great time and looking forward to coming back for another peak.

Review №19

Its definitely not your typical bridal salon experience, and feels a bit more like regular shopping (which I actually liked because it wasnt as high pressure). The staff was great and the selection was beautiful. Most of the dresses are a bit worn and need special attention so dont go in with expectations of the dresses looking brand new. But its so worth the price and the cause.

I love the mission of the company. However the front desk woman named Megan was so so rude the whole experience ended up feeling terrible. When we walked in she did not great us and made us feel rushed and like we were getting in her way. Might try again if someone else was working.

I had the most incredible, stress free experience shopping at Brides for a Cause. I wear a size 12-14 and was very concerned about not being able to find anything that fit, especially since all the dresses they have are samples. One of the girls that was helping me chose a dress for me that I ended up purchasing. I absolutely love my dress, and it is way under my budget. Im so grateful to have found this shop!!

I was lucky enough to be the only bride in the store that day, and the woman working was so helpful and understanding. She even brought out a beautiful belt that I ended up purchasing as well. My dress was also extremely affordable at over $1000 cheaper than retail!

Wonderful bridal shop! What a pleasant, lovely place to buy a wedding gown, or bridesmaid dresses. The staff is delightful & they even took pictures of a bride to be with her beautiful purchased gown. With the added bonus that you are donating to worthy causes. Meghan (sp?) Really went beyond the second mile, & checked the Portland & Tacoma stores for me

I found my dress today and had that bridal feel that I wanted, which was crying! They let me sit in my dress even after they closed just so I could make my decision. Best decision I ever made was going there and picking out the dress of my dreams! Thank you to the staff who made this experience everything I ever wanted and for being so sweet to let me stay and decide! Now I’m ready to marry my fiancé, in a dress I love!

This is a budget-friendly place with the profits of your gown being donated to charity. I had a wonderful time because I chose to shop on my own and wanted a low-key experience and thats what I got! Another bride was in with her family and wanted a traditional experience and she got that too! Theres no pressure to buy but all the gowns are in the hundreds, not the thousands of dollars. Some need cleaning or small repairs but the ladies can recommend tailors and the price is offset because you save so much on the dress itself. They also have about 30 occasion dresses in stock. Sizes range from 4 to 22, I think, with a lot in size 10-12. If you want a budget friendly, environmentally conscious, and socially conscious dress, this is the place to go. Also consider donating your dress and accessories!

Huge shoutout to Bride for a Cause!! I cannot sing their praises enough. I went to the Seattle location a while back and tried on a few dresses, I felt overwhelmed at the time so I left empty handed but later on I couldn’t stop thinking about one dress. Recently I took a chance and reached out to see if they still have the dress. Meghan was so sweet and while they no longer had the dress at the time she went the extra mile to ask the other locations and gave me all the details of the dress (brand, dress name, link, etc.) just by the one photo I sent. I thought I had lost my opportunity to support such a wonderful business and get THE dress. Two weeks later, I got an email from Meghan saying she just got the dress I had been looking for and it was even in my size! I could not believe it, how freaking thoughtful that she remembered and reached back out to me?! Not only did I say yes to the dress, I also feel great knowing that about 90% of their net income goes directly to charities- most recently ‘The Loveland Project’. I highly recommend them if you’re in the market for a wedding dress and/or any special occasion dresses.They truly care and are masters at their craft of finding you THE dress of your dreams at prices that will blow your mind!

I was greeted with sweet optimism when I arrived two days before my wedding in a panic with no dress. I found the perfect thing that made me feel beautiful and the best part is a contribution was given to Dress for Success, my favorite charity that provides nice clothing to women who are going to job interviews. What a good way to help strong women get back on their feet and succeed! Thank you so much Brides for a Cause!

My daughter is 62 and we thought there was little chance of finding a dress long enough for her. We were so happy to find many dresses that were long enough. The staff was super friendly and helpful. All in all a wonderful experience!

I came here having no expectations about finding a dress or receiving bridal salon quality help but I could not have been more wrong! The salon is super organized, affordable, and every single person working there is so wonderful. They helped pull dresses and try on accessories and it was very clear they want you to feel amazing. I walked out with my dream dress for under $300 dollars! I love that dresses here get a new life and your money goes to a great cause. Everyone should stop in here if you are on your bridal dress search. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

I got the info about their new location from my friend so I went to check it out. There were plenty of dresses to look at and choose from. I found several I liked and they even let me put one on hold, some of the other shops I visited wouldnt let me do that. The ladies working were very helpful and offered their opinion on the look and style of the dresses I was trying on. I eventually found one I loved and purchased my dress from the Seattle location.

Its taken me a while to write this review but this place was just amazing. From the moment you walk in, to when you leave it was such an amazing experience. The girls make you feel so welcomed and comfortable. Theres no pressure, no one looking over your shoulder, or even following you around. They give you space and time to take a look around and dont hover. I found my gown within minutes of being there! It was absolutely beautiful, and the price? AFFORDABLE! Id recommend this location & the Tacoma location to anyone getting married.

I came here so many times to try to find a dress! They made me feel welcome and helped me out without pressuring at all. Each time I went they had new dresses to try! I’m sad I didn’t find a dress here, in the end, but I will be donating my dress for sure! Thank you for making my dress shopping such a manageable and fun experience, Brides for a Cause.

Review №46

Love the charity aspect of this store! Especially when paying so much for dress that will only be worn once by me. Unfortunately there is mostly mermaid style and not much of a selection for a size 14. Smaller brides should definitely check it out. The prices are extremely reasonable. Many of the dresses will need cleaning and/or repair. However even with that taken into account, you will spend far less money (even less than half) here than for a new dress elsewhere.

Ive been to the Tacoma location and didnt find what I was looking for and it seemed like the ladies helping out were a little rushed. I went to this location during opening weekend and everyone who was there was so extremely helpful and attentive, they kept coming back even when I needed to try on the same dress over and over. Amazing experience!

Posting under my husbands(*!!!*) account - Marcelle here! I am so glad that I started (and finished, in one trip! ) my dress shopping experience at Brides for a Cause Seattle! It was exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for: relaxed, friendly.. I didnt feel pressured in any way, and very quickly found the dress Id been dreaming of! For the budget and/or eco- friendly bride, this is the place to shop! The prices will keep you smiling, and knowing that youre supporting a nonprofit organization that donates to women-focused charities will add an extra layer of love to your special day! The kind and helpful staff made shopping fun and easy, and they even gave me a list of local shops to check out for my alterations. Though my dress showed a tiny bit of wear on the edges of the train and was two sizes too big, it was completely renewed and fit like a glove after a trip to Zeita Studios! Thank you Brides for a Cause! (More photos to come!) P.S. Ignore Ken Lees review below... what would he know?! He didnt try (or buy) any dresses himself and the prices are WAY below what you find at other bridal shops. Take a hike, Ken!!

Great selection of dresses with new ones every time I went in. Since no appointment is needed, I dropped in a few times to look and on my third visit found a dress I love (this after a -lot- of search online and in other stores) at an awesome price. The salespeople were laid-back, which I appreciated, but still knowledgeable when I had questions.

Review №56

Brides for a Cause is amazing!! They have a big selection of dresses that are always changing and they are priced so well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I really like that I can walk around see everything they have, try on dresses and not feel pressured into getting something. I personally would not have been able to afford my dream Wedding dress at its full retail value. I’m getting married next month and I’ll be walking down the isle in a stunning Badgley Mischka mermaid that’s worth we’ll over $6,000, but I paid $700. Try this place you won’t regret it.

I love this incredible organization! Id done the rounds at the traditional wedding dress boutiques, and wasnt loving the experience. Enter BFAC; they provided such laid-back service, and were super accommodating. The selection is diverse and if you dont find something the first time, follow their Instagram for ongoing updates of their inventory. Saying yes to the dress was so much easier due to a lower price point, friendly/no-pressure service and the knowledge that my purchase would benefit other women. I heart BFAC!
