Absolutely recommend Couture by Tess! Went in twice and had an absolutely amazing experience both times! They did not force me to by a dress and even suggested that I should think about the dress before purchasing and also suggested to try other bridal stores before I made the commitment. However because of the amazing people and the amazing atmosphere I decided that I would only want to do business with them. They also listened to everything that I liked and choose dresses that I would like versus trying to force other designs on me! Thank you to Sasha and Madison for the amazing experience!! I’m definitely happy with my purchase and can’t wait to wear it on my big day!!!

OMG where do I even start. I got my wedding dress today from Couture by Tess Bridal store and my experience was AMAZING. I was very nervous coming into trying on dresses but right when you walk in they make you feel so at home. Offer you drinks, and comfortable seating! When I told them my budget. They NOT ONCE tried to even go over that. When I told them what had imagined they picked out the most perfect dresses to try on. At the end I was so torn between 2 dresses. They told me to go to lunch and think about it so I thought about it went back and tried them on again, and was even more torn by the end of it because of some of the options getting to me and they took me aside and calmed me down and continue to reassure me that no matter which one I picked it would be PERFECT and it’s my choice. I then left again and then came back A THIRD TIME to try the one I really loved back on and then I decided that was the one for me. To say I was please with my experience is an understatement!!!!🤍🤍

This is the best store Ive ever been to for anything, especially wedding dresses. I love the staff, they are extremely competent and knowledgeable, and they want to help you look and feel your absolute best! The dresses and veils here are amazing, and they make you feel like royalty. I bought my dress here and I highly recommend it to anyone else who is looking! I went to all of the other dress stores in Cookeville and some in Knoxville and this one outshines them all by far! They are amazing!

Hands down the best experience in a bridal shop that Ive ever had. I came all the way from Florida and was not disappointed. Sasha and the owner Tess were both very attentive, and willing to work with my taste and what I wanted. I fully recommend them to anyone looking for different and unique wedding dress styles ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My sister got her wedding dress from here and I already knew I wanted to come and find one for myself one day and after getting a dress there I absolutely loved everything about this place! The experience is hands down the best a bride could ask for! Soooo many beautiful dresses to pick from and look at on the models! Tess is awesome and so helpful and so are all the girls that work there! I love the dress I ended up getting and it only took 3 dresses to say “yes!” I would refer any and every bride of any age to this place, she has it all!

I cannot believe how amazing this bridal shop is! Couture by Tess was the first shop I decided to make an appointment at and right from the moment I walked in the door, I was in awe at how beautiful the place was! It’s in an old building in the center of Cookeville that has the perfect touch of elegance and chic yet still incorporates the beauty of the original structure. Just gorgeous!Each time I went in for a fitting, I was welcomed by Sasha, Tess herself, and their assistant and was asked if I wanted a variety of drinks such as champagne or a mimosa... it felt so classy! The team is just awesome and kept my budget into consideration, which I really appreciated. Sasha definitely helped me narrow down what I liked, didn’t like, and had me try on gowns that I normally wouldn’t have tried on but was surprised by the way they fit on me body shape (which, by the way, is a huge thing to consider when going dress shopping... most of the time we’re not the models in the photos we look at!). Their whole presentation was very impressive and the girls will give their honest opinions, which I also appreciated so much.I ended up going with the first dress I ever tried on and I’m so happy I did... it fit like a glove AND was within my price range! The whole process was made seamless and I loved the fact that at the time I made my decision and signed the paperwork, I was asked to take a picture holding a sign stating “I said yes to TESS!”. I HIGHLY recommend you look here for you wedding dress, you won’t regret it! 🥰

These women are absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I decided two days ago to get hitched. I had no intentions of buying a dress, but I fell in love and bought one. We get married in September of 2021. These women worked with me every step of the way and words can not describe how phenomenal they were! ❤️

The ladies at Couture by Tess were absolutely AMAZING. I came in to my consultation having no idea what kind of wedding dress I wanted. The ladies were so knowledgeable and so patient and made sure I found the absolute perfect gown! I end up selecting a design by Tess herself.

Every aspect of Couture by Tess is unparalleled. The service is top notch—they actually listen to your wants and needs, they don’t rush you or pressure you at all. The selection of dresses is absolutely incredible—unique dresses and brands that are jaw-dropping! With over 1,000 dresses in store, there’s not a bad choice in the bunch, but they make certain that you find the right dress for you—your style, your venue, your budget. Tess has an amazing eye for fashion and fabrics, and you can tell that she has developed great relationships with her vendors and suppliers. The entire staff really cares about their brides. Shop here, I promise you won’t regret it!

I would HIGHLY recommend Couture By Tess Bridal to any future bride to be! I have had the absolute best experience with this company. Every single lady in the store is amazing at what they do. I went way over my scheduled time finding my dress but the girls continued to be patient with me and helped me find the dress of my dreams! They made me and my guests feel like family. I could go on and on about how amazing the staff is here. Don’t hesitate to look anywhere else, Tess and her ladies will not disappoint! Beyond grateful for this place and the sweetest staff ever for helping me find the absolute perfect dress!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tess and her entire staff. When I was looking for my dress, I went to Tess first and tried on a lot of dresses because I was an older bride and didn’t know what would be age-appropriate and still the style I was looking for. They knew I was trying on for the first time and let me try as many as I needed to to get a feel for what I wanted.I ended up going to a second bridal shop and got pressured into purchasing a dress that day. And when it came in my heart sank because I really was in love with a dress I had seen at Tess’s shop I called her and she immediately checked with the designer and was able to get it and had it altered in time for my October wedding.You cannot beat Tess’s customer service, pricing and selection. I wouldn’t shop anywhere else for your dress!!

I wouldn’t go anywhere else to get a wedding dress! Couture by Tess has the most elegant selections, and I had such a positive experience with Tess! The process of trying on dresses was so relaxing and enjoyable! It was honestly fun and not stressful at all. I found the most perfect dress, and Tess even added to it to make it exactly what I wanted. Please give Couture by Tess a try before going anywhere else! Support this local business. You will not be disappointed!

My bridal appointment with Couture By Tess Bridal will be something I cherish for the rest of my life. I was not really looking forward to having to start shopping for wedding dresses because I am very particular when it comes to dresses, and I do not wear dresses very often. HOWEVER, I walked out of this store EXCITED to try on more dresses. Out of all the different stores I made appointments with so far, this one has been BY FAR the most comfortable and enjoyable experience. Madison and Hannah were PHENOMENAL. They made me feel at ease right away, and made the entire experience a blast! They not only helped me figure out what style I wanted, but they went through all of the dresses with me and helped me pick out different ones. They were so casually involved in my appointment and so patient that it felt like I was out shopping with friends.I will also say that, apart from the service, their selection was much larger than that of the other stores I went to, and the quality of each dress was 10x better than that of the other stores as well (this surprisingly includes Davids Bridal).I will without hesitation recommend Couture by Tess Bridal to anyone who wants to find their dream wedding dress. The service you will receive and quality of the dresses cannot be beat!

As soon as my bridal party and I walked into the door, we felt immediate welcomed. The ladies made us feel like home. All the dresses worked with any bridal budget. Tess helped my dress envision become a reality. I used Tess for all my dress needs. I would highly recommend any future bride to come on by and select a dress at Couture by Tess.

The experience I had at Couture by Tess Bridal was very high-end. I 100% recommend this store! It was the first bridal store I went to and happened to be the only one I needed to go to. Not only super happy about finding my dress, but the experience as a whole was amazing! Tess is very talented in what she does. She and her bridal consultants helped me choose dresses that fit the look I was going for and after I found “the one”, she altered the dress to fit me perfectly! She is one of the sweetest women I have ever met. I felt very welcomed and at home the moment I walked in. So glad she was a part of my wedding experience because I have worked with tailors in the past for prom dresses and had very bad experiences. So I was pleased that Tess is very kind hearted and down to earth.

Couture by Jess was PHENOMENAL! I am not a bride, but a friend of a bride. We were treated so well. The bride to be was not too sure exactly what she wanted and they personally brought her dresses to fit her body! Not to mention, as the guest I was treated with such kindness. We got to see and touch the dresses on the racks! Everything was BEAUTIFUL and my friend found the PERFECT, very unique dress!!

Words cannot begin to explain how amazing Tess and her ladies were. They were amazing to work with and made sure that my soon to be daughter-in-law had the perfect dress. Tess even did some special details per her request that made the already beautiful dress simply spectacular. Our girl was already set to be a beautiful bride but the dress will make her the winter princess she imagined. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making her dress simply perfect and putting up with all my questions!Candace Tramel

Id recommend Tess and her staff to everyone! While they didnt have a sample of the my dream dress, they had several gowns with similar features ready for me to try on so that I could get a good idea of the actual gown. I received timely updates throughout the ordering process and they were prompt with both of my appointments (Im out-of-town so that was truly appreciated). Tess was also extremely thorough while taking measurements for my alternations. She explained all parts of the alterations process and had great suggestions accessories - I ending up purchasing a lovely bird cage veil with a jeweled hair clip from her. There was even an unexpected gift in the bag, which made me feel valued as a customer. Once again - I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for an exceptional bridal experience! (And while I already knew which dress I wanted, she does have an extensive collection of gowns in a variety of sizes and price ranges)

Couture By Tess was the perfect place to find my wedding dress! They were all super friendly and helpful and they will not make you feel pressured into buying anything, but support you with whatever you want in a dress. This is the only place I tried on wedding dresses where they actually put me in dresses MY size! They are also VERY reasonable with alteration prices. I would absolutely recommend everyone who is looking for a wedding dress to come here. They are amazing!

I had the pleasure of being one of Tess very first bridal customers in 2014. I was a plus sized bride(22-24) and at the time had gone to a widely known bridal shop with the excitement of finding my perfect gown only to be disappointed that they only carried up to a size 14 and that I had to purchase a gown without ever having tried it on. The entire process was disappointing. I was headed out the door clueless as to where I would search until an associate stopped me as I was leaving and whispered go check out this place you may find what you need there. I was somewhat reluctant but decided to see what this place was about. I along with my best friend/maid of honor arrived to her boutique and were greeted by her charming husband Joe who graciously allowed us to come inside and take a peek in Tess absence. I was amazed by the variety of dresses that were available and IN MY SIZE!!! I was so elated to find a place that catered to me. Soon after Tess invited me to come again to an open house where she did a showcase of even more gowns to choose from. She is the most gracious host you will ever meet ..the lady is an absolute angel. I later scheduled a private appointment where I was able to try on several gowns that I had eyed in the boutique and was finally custom fitted for the gown of my choice. Tess kept in touch often in the months leading up to my wedding to ensure every detail of my wedding package was just the way I wanted. Everything was PERFECT and I felt BEAUTIFUL on my wedding day. She also included in my custom wedding package a beautiful veil and shoulder piece that turned heads on my day. Thank you sooo much Tess for everything you did for me. Love Chanta

As a first time bride these ladies were amazing. Trust me I asked a million questions. They are truly there for you and what you want; not just trying to make a sale.

Absolutely love this bridal store. Best experience I had compared to other dress stores in town! Tess and employees are amazing. They helped me the entire time I was shopping & trying on dresses. There is a wide variety of dresses and price ranges here! My favorite is the bargain section they have! (Which is pretty big, by the way. Other stores I went to had a sale section but limited dresses and none in my size.) I’m excited to go back for alterations once my wedding is closer. (Tess’s alterations are cheaper than most too!) Be sure to schedule an appointment to get the best experience! (:

My experience here was AMAZING. All the women were extraordinary and made me and my group feel not only welcome but at home. They have a large and diverse selection of dresses and good options for all price ranges. You can tell they truly care about all of brides that come through. They listen to your want list but can also offer professional suggestions to help find what makes you feel beautiful and the process is easy and fun. I said yes to the dress here and I wouldn’t do anything differently. We were also served delicious mimosas to top it all off!

I went with a friend wedding dress shopping today and this unique beautiful shop was our last stop. When we walked in the ladies were so friendly and welcomed us in. We told them up front what we were looking for and the budget. They were okay, we can help. Two of the ladies took my friend to her area and made her feel like the queen she is. After explaining what she had in mind they picked out 5 dresses. I promise you the first one she put on was the one. Her face told it all!!! She tried on 2 others but when you know you know. The dress and alterations will still be below the original budget she went in with. No up sell!!! They listened and delivered!! It was such a joyful stress free experience.Thank you Tess Josephine and I miss the other ladies name but she was just as wonderful!!!

Tess and her team are wonderful! I had visited other dress shops prior to coming here and the service and selection of dresses and styles are nothing compared to those places! If you’re in or near Cookeville, skip David’s Bridal and other chain places altogether and just go straight to Tess. I came in as a walk-in (not even expecting to purchase anything) and I fell in love with the boutique and all it has to offer. I felt so welcome and Tess truly shows an interest in each bride’s wishes and exactly what they are looking for: style, size, AND price wise. I’m in LOVE with my dress - Thank you Tess!

I went to Couture by Tess two weekends ago to look for dresses with two of my bridesmaids and showed Tess and her team dresses I’d tried and liked/didn’t like. Her team knew my budget and allowed us to pull dresses we liked as they pulled a few for me, too. I fell in LOVE with literally a Perfect Ball Gown and Tess couldn’t have been more accommodating as it fell right in my budget. I loved it so much I tried it on three times within a week before I came back and bought it. Highly recommend Tess and her team — they are top notch at delivering the most perfect experience and helping find the most beautiful wedding gown I’ve ever seen.

Tess and the ladies at Couture By Tess Bridal are absolutely amazing and brilliant at what they do.On my first appointment, they listened to my wants in a dress and were very quickly able to pick up on my style and taste preferences.

Tess and her assistants create a fun, friendly, magical experience. They were so helpful and kind, and really took the time to get to know us. I had a lower budget that they completely respected, and was able to find so many wonderful options, some at half that price! Absolutely gorgeous, and a lot of really unique styles that I hadnt seen anywhere else (along with the classics!). Completely low pressure - I walked away with a few in mind, and then came back later to say yes to the One. Whatever your size, style, or budget, I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Tess is the greatest boss anyone could ever have. They only reason I don’t work with her now is because she moved out of town. She really knows what she is doing. She is very patient and caring with the brides. She is very creative and you won’t find any other dresses like hers. I remember we had a bride and she wanted ostrich feathers on the bottom of her mermaid dress. Tess ordered ostrich feathers and she hand-made clumps of ostrich feathers and put them on the dress. Needless to say it came out beautifully. This really showed me how she’s willing to go the extra mile just to make the bride happy. I know I will be going to Tess when I get married. Tess you truly are amazing.

Tess Bridal is amazing! They were really great and they had a ton of dresses there even though I didnt think they would, and its different then most dress shops because you can actually look at their dresses while they help you decide on what style you like best. They actually help you with the dresses and arent just trying to sell you one for commission. Everyone was super nice, I would 10/10 recommend Tess Bridal!

I called Tess on a whim after discovering her shop had just opened in town, and she has been a joy to work with from the first moment! She treated me like gold and her lovely assistants made me feel so incredibly special. I had so much fun trying on gorgeous dresses and she used her expertise to guide me in the right direction to find “The One”! Not only did I end up with the dress of my dreams (at a ridiculously reasonable price, no less), the process was fun, relaxing, and gave me memories I’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a wedding dress, you can’t go wrong to give her a call!

Working with Tess was absolutely amazing! When my sister, mom, and I came for my first fitting, it was so much fun! Tess took her time with me and I was not rushed at all. After picking the dress I wanted, Tess added some amazing detail to the dress and it came out so beautifully and she was very timely and efficient with everything!!!!!! I will definitely recommend her to other ladies for a beautiful gown!

I absolutely love Couture by Tess Bridal shop and the owner Tess! After countless stops in different cities, bridal chains, and bridal boutiques, I finally found Tess an hour away from home! Boy was it worth it! As soon as I walked in, I knew that I would say Yes to the dress! She have hundreds of dresses to choose from...small to large, simple and classy, to completely bedazzled and gorgeous! She customizes and design some of the dresses and her couture room is off the charts! I found everything that I needed at an affordable price! Tess also made sure that I had a one on one bridal session and encouraged me to even try on as many dresses as I needed until I found the one. She also did not pressure me into getting a dress, but even told me to sleep on the one that I found to be sure. Save yourself some time, go to Couture By Tess Bridal! You wont be disappointed!

Wonderful experience! By far the most professional bridal shop I’ve ever been in. Had a huge variety to choose from, even asked me what my budget was and took me to all the dresses that fit my budget. I had help getting into every dress and out of each one as well. 10/10 recommend Tess & her girls !!❤️

I highly recommend Couture by Tess Bridal. I went in with a low, strict budget & the ladies helped me find my perfect dress. It was even UNDER my budget! They’re truly there to help the bride find her dream dress.

Finding the right wedding dress can be stressful, but Tess put me at ease from the moment I walked in the door. Even in the midst of COVID, she worked with me to be able to still get my dress altered and get a veil before my wedding day. If you are looking for a store with lots of wedding dress options for a great price, this is the place for you!

I wish I could give a 10 star but it will not let me. Hands down the best bridal boutique ever with thousand of dresses to chose from. What I love about the owner (Mrs. Tess) is that shes a very sweet, humble, smart, and beautiful person who knows her stuff. She will have you outside your comfort zone in a good way. I went in with one style in mind and left with another style. I calk her a Wedding Dress Angel. She knew what styled looked best on me when I thought I knew what styled looked best. I would recommend her anytime and every time. Love you Mrs. Tess!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tess is amazing!! She has an eye for what style dress fits your body type. So go with the flow if she suggest a certain style you may not typically go for. I tried on 6 dresses and then I finally went with the one Tess suggested. I immediately fell in love! My experience was fun and she made me feel at home!
