125 Bridal Boutique

nt to use on a purchase at their store, which further incentivized me to go visit. I am from NY (where my parents live), live in Woburn, MA, and was given a lot of recommendations from friends/family for bridal shops in both states. While my mom was visiting me in MA, we had planned to go to a few bridal stores in MA/NH. When I called to book my appointment, Jay was teaching me even more about dresses/shopping. 125 Bridal was the second appointment we had after a “trendy” boutique that only showed me dresses that were top-dollar and way far off (style-wise) from what I was asking for. I was a bit discouraged from the last appointment as I explained to Sandra what I was hoping for and showed her a few photos of what I liked. Sandra pulled two dresses from the back after chatting with me for about 10 minutes. One was the dress I showed her a picture of - which had way more sparkles than I wanted/saw in the pictures. The other dress she told me was ugly and not to look at it yet, as she placed it in the dressing room. She ran back in with a piece of ivory fabric and slipped it under the lace layer to show me that the nude bottom layer is also available in that color, and looks 100x better, so try to picture that. As I slipped the dress on, it immediately felt more comfortable than any other I tried on, and checked most of the boxes I had on my list. While I looked in the mirror with my mom and Sandra around me, she and Jay continued to explain that this designer, Casablanca, is one of few that own their own factory and so their dresses can be custom-made. Knowing that I could alter this dress (Zola style #2324) to be exactly what I was envisioning sold me on it - and of course the emotions that took over my mom and I from that point on. Before our appointment was over, my mom tried on the MOB dress she was admiring on the mannequin and decided to buy it for herself within just a few minutes. The discounts from the expo and great service from Sandra and Jay saved us a substantial amount of money and time. Their advice we received was priceless as well. My then fiancé and I returned to 125 Bridal for his ensemble. Jay helped him find exactly what he was looking for - something more elaborate than a basic tux - and was able to custom order his jacket that wasn’t usually carried in their store (or in his size). From shoes to groomsmen tuxes, Jay and Chris were able to pull together every piece of the groomsmen outfits and save us a lot of money while doing so. Jay even snagged a newly debuted matching veil for me while he was at a bridal show in Chicago that completed my look and saved me even more money while looking like a million dollars! Fast forward to wedding day - we both looked and felt amazing. We received SO many compliments from our guests, and many other friends/family who saw photos thereafter. Jay, Sandra, Chris and Irene (the seamstress recommended to me by 125 Bridal) were an outstanding team to work with, had wonderful demeanors/communication throughout the process, and made our experience (with every person out-of-state and a shorter timeline than most) so wonderful. We enjoyed working with them and we will definitely return/recommend to others for all future occasions!!

ange and they took time getting to know you and what you're looking for.

assisted us, and he was very helpful. The suits looked great, especially my husband's, and fit very well.

on one! I picked up both of my dresses this weekend and couldn't be more happier! My fiancé loves all the options they have suites that he decided to rent a blue paisley one for a wedding we went to and he got a 1,000 compliments (see picture for reference).

id it would and they gave me plenty of references for seamstresses. My bridesmaids all got their dresses in a timely fashion and they are beautiful! We both bought and rented suits for the groomsmen and they all fit great.

t to, and I am very thankful I did! Very clean and took the time I needed.

ing home and couldn't be more thankful to have had their help with everything. Highly recommend using them!!

s. Thank you so much!

ul of my budget. The owner, Jay, was able to make some wonderful recommendations and bring up ideas I hadn’t even thought of! I wound up being able to get an even nicer gown than I had expected!

picking a dress fun. They set me up with Irene as a seamstress. Irene was the sweetest person and did incredible work on my dress alterations. I couldn't have been happier with Irene or 125 Bridal! I would highly recommend working with them.

g tux. We changed or original selection because we didn’t have bridesmaids dresses at that time. It wasn’t the look we wanted overall so we made a point of changing the entire tux, some ties and a few other things but got stuck with the option we did not want. Though they did say they could order and get the other tux in time, we had little faith that it would be right. Several people already had size issues and the new option would only be there 1-2 days before the wedding. Also, most of the guys had picked up their tuxes already. It would have wasted more of their time to try on and get adjustments for another tux only a couple days before the wedding. My dad couldn’t even fit in his original tux (5+ sizes too small) and his pants were too short (they said they’d fix the pants but never did). Pretty much everyone in the wedding party had some issue so ordering the other option seemed too risky the week of our wedding. They also didn’t give us enough cuff links and they shorted us pocket squares. They told us to cut them in half so everyone could have one. It was an ABSOLUTE MESS! We didn’t spend thousands of dollars on a wedding for it to be destroyed because of a company’s incompetence. They are a tux company so I don’t know how they could screw this up so bad. The only positive experience we had was with Chris. Although things were screwed up, he did the best he could do to assist us. I will now forever see in my wedding pictures that my dad is wearing short pants, the tux’s are just WRONG, and our groomsmen had pocket squares we had to cut ourselves. Horrible experience, I’ve never cried so much! For your sanity, do not give this company your business.

fect for our big day! They had a wide range of sizes for the bridesmaids to try on, which was a plus! Chris made sure to get everything ordered in plenty of time for our December wedding, and was so much fun to work with!

ngy. Small selection of dresses but enough to get an idea of what you like and don't like. Prices are pretty discounted but finding the one here felt like needle in a haystack. The consultant Jay talked at us about history of dresses, material and his knowledge of designers and materials but wasn't very helpful otherwise. Despite telling him what we were or were not looking for we had to go shop for and pull our own dresses. He did not stop us from pulling dresses out of budget leaving us to try on and like a dress out of our price range. He simply stood by and made comments as if he was a part of the viewing section- sometimes uncomfortable ones. He asked where else we were shopping and only looked for reasons to put those stores down to look better in comparison rather than build his own business up with positive reasons to work with him. Major red flag. While he was never overtly inappropriate, there were some unprofessional comments and gestures. Not a place to shop alone.

! I canceled all my other appointments for the following days and walked out with my dress less than an hour later. I got so many compliments and I was able to stay in my budget without any issue. It is not the fanciest bridal boutique experience out there but I would definitely recommend going to 125 Bridal.

t choice in a selecting a wedding gown. I recommend them highly.

! Jay helped in so many different aspects of our day not just my dress and Chris was such a good help to all the guys and offered us good input and advice about suit/tie options. The seamstress Irene also deserves a shout out for being so wonderful and kind! her work was beautiful

for our wedding day and Jay and the staff at 125 Bridal were amazing and We could not have been happier with them! They were so nice, flexible, and understanding throughout everything! They were wonderful! We had our colors for the wedding and went to Jay with ideas for the suits/ tuxes and he helped us pick out the rest and the guys looked even better than I could have imagined on the wedding day! When I saw my husband for our first look he looked fantastic! We would highly recommend 125 Bridal Boutique and working with Jay to anyone looking for men’s formal wear!

offer advice. Before we decided on the one, he made calls to find dresses I was interested in that they didn't have in stock, and found out what could and couldn't be altered with certain designers. Once we settled on the one (We had to go back a second time before I was sure) they took my measurments, and found out what would be easiest and cheapest based on what I wanted for the gown. We ended up staying exactly in our budget, when other stores told us we didn't have a chance! I am so grateful to the 125 Bridal Team and all they did to get me my dream dress.

SO incredibly grateful that I did! Jay stayed late that same night to meet with me and spent hours going over what I was looking for! His knowledge and connections made ordering my CUSTOM BLACK CASABLANCA wedding dress so easy! Unfortunately we ordered during Chinese New Year when a lot of the manufacturing plants were shut down, and then COVID-19 hit, making me start to panic about whether or not my dress was going to arrive in time for the wedding! Jay worked endlessly, constantly keeping in contact with Casablanca, and keeping me updating, and made sure the dress arrived with plenty of time! We did have to reschedule our wedding until 2021, but I cannot wait to show off this dress! It is so perfect in every way, more than what I ever could have asked for! I’ll be back to update with photos of the dress after the wedding! Jay made everything so easy, we even ended up ordering all of our tux rentals and shoes for the groom and wedding party from here as well! I cannot thank Jay enough! 🖤🖤🖤

and the employees, I would highly recommend to anyone!

shoes here and all of our wedding party got their tuxes here. Especially with all of the craziness that has gone wrong in 2020 for our wedding and difficulty we’ve had with our other vendors, it has been such a relief that we know we can count on Jay and 125 Bridal to make our wedding day perfect in every way they can. Can’t recommend them enough!

cess. I would recommend 125 Bridal Boutiques to anyone who’s looking for wedding dresses or special occasions dresses. Thank You 125 bridal boutique for helping me find my wedding dress! Best Bridal Boutique Ever!

having a back up bridesmaids dress and a plan for one of our bridal emergencies. The staff at 125 was so helpful and sweet. They really took the time to help me find seamstresses and take care of little things along the way. The groomsmen had perfect fitting tuxes and all minor adjustments were fixed within 24 hours. By the end of my wedding weekend, they truly felt like family after a year and a half of planning!
