Zari and her team made my experience of finding a wedding dress so effortless, fun, stress-free, and special! First, the space itself is absolutely lovely....exposed brick and open studio with a minimalist and magical aesthetic. Then, THE DRESSES! Burlington has been waiting for and in desperate need of a bridal shop that offers not only classic options, but also dresses with a little more edge that walk that fine line of being both trendy and timeless. It was hard to narrow it down to just one dress, but with the soft guidance of Chelsea and Thomas (plus a few good friends), I landed on a dress that feels totally true to my personal style. I felt only support and encouragement from the team at Hinterland. I so highly recommend checking out Hinterland Bride if youre looking for a delightful wedding dress shopping experience :)

Not only is the dress selection amazing and the vibe of the salon simply a dream, Zari and Chelsea make the entire dress shopping experience easy, breezy and fun! I was initially nervous to go solo to my appointment, but Zari and Chelsea were the perfect pair to help me find my perfect dress. They made me feel super comfortable and gave me the freedom to look through all the amazing dresses they have perfectly curated. Their opinions were so great, but they very much let me lead with exactly what I was looking for. Do not hesitate to book your appointment at Hinterland, you will have the best time and no doubt find a dress that perfectly fits who you are!

What a place! The space, the ladies and the dresses are all wonderful and make for a fantastic wedding dress shopping experience. I had a very nice time trying on a variety of gorgeous gowns and enjoyed the thoughtful feedback from the Hinterland team without feeling pressured or pushed, just simply supported. I returned to try on 2 dresses again and decided to purchase my dream dress that day - Im very happy with the whole experience and my dress! If youre in the market and live nearby Burlington, VT, then I highly recommend giving this spot a visit... you just might find your dream dress too :)

I had the best experience searching for a wedding dress at Hinderland Bride. I had tried on a few dresses prior to my appointment, but Chelsea and Thomas were so helpful finding dresses that fit what I was looking for. They were both so helpful and personable and really made the experience so great! They did not pressure at all which was one of my biggest fears trying on dresses (being as indecisive as I am). I would highly recommend to anyone searching for a dress!

Cant say enough good things about my experience at Hinterland Bride! I had been to a few other shops to try on dresses before making my first appointment at Hinterland. When I walked in the door, I was met with a warm welcome from Zari and Chelsea, and was immediately blown away by the beautiful, intimate space. There are a variety of dress styles and just enough options that you wont feel limited or overwhelmed. Zari and Chelsea were so helpful throughout the process, including making a This is the dress we LOVE announcement before I walked out in front of my (sometimes too opinionated) mom during my second appointment. When I was ready to say yes to the dress, Zari walked me through all the details. From start to finish, the experience was calm, fun, and felt truly special. Being able to have the entire shop to yourself is a dream. I only wish I could go back ten more times!

Hinterland Bridal and the wonderful women who run it made buying my wedding dress easy and fun. I went to several places in Boston and NYC and this was by far the most relaxed and special environment. You have the place all to yourself, it’s a gorgeous shop with great light that enhances your shopping experience. They also have a selection of beautiful, unique, and affordable dresses. Never once did I feel pressured to buy, and they coached me through several dresses, ultimately finding me the most fabulous and perfect dress. I am so glad I was able to work with Zari and highly recommend Hinterland to any bride to be!

I had the BEST experience at Hinterland with Zari. After trying a few stores in New York City, I knew the second I walked into Hinterland that I would end up finding my dress with them. The store is absolutely beautiful and in a great location downtown. Zari and Chelsea are so kind and helpful, my whole family loved them! I relied on their guidance and expertise to help me to find my dress - they helped me to verbalize and find what I liked best. I would absolutely recommend Hinterland to any future brides living in or visiting Vermont!

Hinterland was amazing! Wedding dress shopping can be really overwhelming and from the minute I walked in I felt comfortable. Chelsea and Zari made it so easy for me to forget about everything else and just focus on what made me feel beautiful! I never felt pressure from them. When I couldn’t make up my mind they were flexible and patient. They were so fun and the perfect balance of glam and VT down to earth.

Hinterland is a beautiful store! Zari made me feel extremely calm/taken care of but also excited about finding my dress. She listened to my concerns and made matches to dresses I wouldnt have picked out myself. Her easy going nature made me feel very comfortable during the process. Not to mention I found the most gorgeous Alexandra Grecco gown!!

Cannot recommend Hinterland Bride enough! Not only is the salon itself beautiful and cozy, but also the service and selection of dresses is incomparable. Zari and her team are so welcoming and knowledgeable. They had an answer to every question we threw their way. The dresses are unique and timeless. The hand-picked selection features something for every type of bride.Having shopped at a couple stores before, I can say that this was head and shoulders above my other appointments. I felt so comfortable, and all my concerns and insecurities were listened to. My two bridesmaids and I drove in from out of town, and it was well worth the trip.Thank you Zari and team for helping me say yes to the dress!

This place was magical! The whole experience from start to finish was, seamless, classy, and amazing. She made me and my guests feel comfortable and was so patient as I narrowed down which dress was the one! I loved their selection, there is a level of quality I had not found anywhere else.Zari and her team are so warm and friendly (including her sweet dog Charlotte!) In the state of covid it was so nice to book the whole space! I seriously can not rave about this place enough. I wish I had a reason to go back and shop more!

Hinterland is hands down the best place to go in the Vermont/NH area. The crew there picks absolutely beautiful dresses and multiple different price points from different designers. It’s such a fun environment to go try on dresses in too. I couldn’t be more happy with the dress they helped me pick and the service!

Review №24

Hands down the BEST wedding dress shopping experience I could imagine. Beautiful space and beautiful dresses (brick and exposed wooden beams), but what really made it special was the folks who work there. Zari (the owner) was an excellent listener, clearly knew her products and her inventory like the back of her hand, and best of all wasnt pushy in the slightest. She was also an expert at pinning and clipping the sample dresses to get them to look like they were made for me. I felt welcomed and respected. 1,000% would recommend.

Zari was super awesome in finding my perfect wedding dress at Hinterland! It was super easy to make my appointments online, the place was beautiful (Im a sucker for exposed brick) and I felt like a princess! I highly recommend checking Hinterland Bride out if you are in the market (AND CONGRATS)! They have the most beautiful designer dresses and its absolutely okay to try all of them on 5 times like I did :)!

Dress shopping at Hinterland was an all-around amazing experience! This is the first and only store I went to when I was looking for my wedding dress. The space is the perfect size for one bride and her crew, and I was able to have Zaris direct attention the whole time because of this. She really listened to my hopes and preferences about the style of dress I was looking for. I was able to leave after only one appointment with confidence that I had made the right decision in the dress that I chose! 👰🏼‍♀️♥️

My experience at Hinterland was beyond my expectations. So many pretty dresses of course, but most importantly Zari took the time to really get to know me. It felt like spending time with a friend.All the anxiety that can come with such a big choice, from someone that doesnt like shopping was nonexistent.And, there was a sweetest dog present for my appointment.

I cant begin to describe what a special place Hinterland bride is! The space is beautiful, airy and romantic and every dress is stunning. Zari was incredibly helpful through the whole process from making an appointment to ordering the dress (and answering my numerous emails in-between) enabling me to order my dream dress in time for our elopement this fall. Having not thought a lot about the style I wanted ahead of time, Zari created a fun and a no-pressure environment that really allowed me to envision what I was looking for as I tried on dresses. I cant recommend hinterland enough!

Zari and her team made my dress buying experience everything I could have hoped for. First off, the dress shop is absolutely stunning! Beyond looks, Zari took the time to understand what I was looking for and was very thoughtful when helping us pull dresses to try on. When it came time to make decisions her approach was very supportive (no pushy sales) - she truly wants her brides to love their dress and to feel the best in them. I cannot thank her enough!

My bridal appointment with Zari was a wonderful experience. It was relaxed, fun, and catered to my likes/dislikes. The shop has a great vibe and the dress selection is fitting to many types of brides; simple and elegant, boho, and some more whimsy meets glam with lace and beading. Their selection of jewelry is absolutely beautiful, too! Choosing a wedding dress isn’t easy, it comes with a lot of emotions, and Zari was mindful of my situation and incredibly respectful. A million thanks to the Hinterland Team ✨

As soon as you walk in to Hinterland Bride, you know it’s something special. The whole vibe is light, airy, and whimsically romantic. After getting engaged in the beginning of 2020, and about a year of being on hold with anything wedding-planning related, visiting Hinterland was a breath of fresh air - and provided that “bride-to-be” butterflies moment.Dress shopping at Hinterland was an all-around magical experience. Originally, I thought we would have to go to Boston or NYC to go wedding dress shopping, but this boutique shop is SUCH a gem in Burlington, VT. The whole experience was more intimate and stress-free than anything I could have expected going into the city to look. And the dresses!! I couldn’t say enough good things about Zari’s collection. It’s such a beautifully curated shop with dresses for every type of bride: from fancy fairytale weddings to the prettiest elopement.Zari and Chelsea were absolutely amazing and helped me pick dresses perfect for my personality and wedding vibe. Couldnt have made my very first wedding appointment more seamless or successful! I ended up buying the first dress I fell in love with when I first walked into the shop, as well as a delicate hair vine that pulled the whole look together. Highly, highly recommend!

Zari and her staff were absolutely wonderful. Leading up to my appointment she was so responsive to all my emails and questions. At the appointment, the atmosphere of the place was exactly what I was looking for. Very beautiful space, a great selection of dresses but not overwhelming, and great music. Zari and Chelsea were both so welcoming, laid back, and knew my style before I even knew what I was looking for. They also were very accomodating with Zooming in my friends and chatting with my parents during the appointment. I couldnt recommend Hinterland Bride more for finding your dress!

Hinterland was the second dress shop I visited. After my previous appointment at a somewhat cold, sterile bridal store, Hinterland was like a nice, warm hug. Zari and her team were knowledgeable and kind. I genuinely had fun trying on a broad style of quality dresses. My party were all virtual and Zari and her team were fantastic about carrying around my computer camera to give everyone the full experience.Zari helped me to customize my dress, squeezed me into a second appointment on super-short notice, reassured and encouraged me, and was so pleasant to work with. Ill be coming back to check out accessories and maybe visit my dress soon!

I had a wonderful time trying on dresses at Hinterland Bride. Zari was really accommodating to my situation of late dress shopping and I found a gorgeous dress. Her selection is wonderful--she has an eye for really high-quality, elegant, yet unique dresses. COVID times meant I was shopping solo but Zari was willing to take photos and videos of me, and even facetimed my mom with details about the dress because Im clueless. I highly recommend coming here for a relaxed and attentive dress-shopping experience!

I can’t say enough great things about Zari! I had visited another dress shop after visiting hinterland because I scheduled two appointments in one day, and I realized how comfortable she made me feel in comparison! She knew when I wasn’t feeling it with some dresses and was truly able to narrow down what I was looking for with ease! While making my decision easy and not a pressured visit! The best boho vide around as well! Im so happy to be purchasing my dress from hinterland!

Zari is THE best. I went dress shopping in Boston, New York, and LA. Had our wedding date changed (Covid) several times, and then we decided to have a small last minute ceremony over Christmas. Walking into Hinterland was my favorite experience from start to finish and Zari went above and beyond to help me get my dress tailored in less than a week.Thank you Zari!
