Sample and Soiree

I had an amazing experience and Sample and Soiree! Most gowns are priced between 1200-1500, with some variance on either side of that range. They are all designer samples, so the dress you try on is the dress you would get. I pictured this more as a "needle in the haystack" type search, but they had SO many incredible gowns. I found several that I would have been perfectly happy wearing. I also really liked that you could search through the gowns yourself. The attendants were super helpful and kind and made the experience so great. I would recommend this to any bride who cannot stomach spending an arm and a leg on a beautiful dress!

I went to Sample and Soirée without high hopes, and knowing it would probably be a "hit or miss" place, as all the dresses are samples that you buy off the rack, so it has to fit perfectly (or be alter-able), be the color you want, etc. I was pleasantly surprised by all of the options Ali had for us to look it- they were conveniently sorted by prices, so I knew I was looking at dresses within my budget. Ali was so helpful and personable, and made the experience so fun and relaxed for my mom, sister and I. Just know that if you find a dress there that you LOVE, you don't really have time to leave and think about if it's the dress for you- they don't hold bridal dresses and cannot order another if the one you love is gone. Because of Sample and Soiree, I was able to get a perfect Hailey Paige gown (my dream dress!) that would have been COMPLETELY out of my budget anywhere else!

I bought my bridal dress and had a wonderful experience!! The people were amazing! The store was very easy to navigate. Thank you so much to the staff for giving me such a great dress buying experience!
