Brides by Young was my last appointment in a whirlwind weekend of wedding dress shopping, and it was worth saving for last! After visiting several predominantly straight-sized bridal shops, I was starting to feel discouraged by the lack of options I could actually fit into and try on. Brides by Young was different. Not only could fit into every dress on their floor, they had SO MANY OPTIONS! At the other stores I went to, I was mostly only able to fit into A-line silhouettes (since, you know, thats whats appropriate for a plus size woman). At BBY, I was able to try on every style under the sun, and I walked out with an absolutely stunning sleek and form-fitting dress. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. and made the experience that much sweeter. Thank you, Brides by Young!

Absolutely amazing place to look for dresses. SO MANY SELECTIONS! I had the most beautiful moment, I never thought I would have. Lori is unbelievably talented in what she does. She pulled many options for me and made me feel like the only on in the room. She was so personable and very knowledgeable. She even sent me a thank you letter in the mail! who does that?! it was absolutely beautiful being there with Lori and everyone else that helped her that day! I cant wait to go back and pick up my dress!

I had an amazing experience from start to finish from the moment I made the phone call to set the initial appointment to try on dresses. The way I was encouraged to utilize the website to look for dresses that fit my personality and style. To the way that I was assisted and had some of my bridesmaids with me they really create a personal bridal experience for you and your girls. Every woman I worked with was encouraging empowering and incredibly helpful. I left with a knowledge and confidence not only that I would have my wedding dress but that I was a strong beautiful woman that deserved nothing but the best. I found a dress that I never thought someone who is 411 with curvy hips in a small waist could find or it would work for her body type, it came a month early and it’s perfect! I couldn’t be more happy with this experience and the fact that the staff and the collections are so supportive and inclusive to all women.

Everyone was wonderful! Grateful theyre taking Covid protocol seriously while finding a way to keep it all magical. Special shout out to Jessica, who was my consultant! It was like she read my mind!

I said YES to the dress at Brides by Young in Schaumburg! I had the pleasure of working with Lori. She is very amazing at what she does! She was attentive, kind and very knowledgeable. I gave her very little to work off of and she was still able to hook me up in finding my dream wedding dress. The vibes at the store are very welcoming and inclusive. Everyone was so positive and it was all good vibes which made me so comfortable in making a decision. I am very appreciative to this store for putting my nerves at ease. As a plus size bride dress shopping gave me a lot of anxiety, but soon as I stepped in the store all of that went away and I am so grateful for that.

I had the best experience with Jessica at Brides by Young! She listened to what I wanted while encouraging me to explore all of my options. After I first tried on the dress that I would end up buying, I think she knew that it was the one for me before I did. She was that tuned in to what I wanted and how I was feeling about what I was wearing! Most importantly, she made me feel beautiful and like the bride I am! She really went above and beyond to make every moment leading up to my Yes special, and I couldnt recommend the girls at Brides by Young more highly, particularly if youre a plus sized bride like myself!

Bonnie went ABOVE AND BEYOND helping me pick out my dress! She was so laid back, easy to talk to, and took everything into consideration when choosing dresses to try on. I thought this process would be stressful/overwhelming, but Bonnie helped me find what style worked and did not work, eventually narrowing it down to finding the perfect one!!

I just finished my appointment with Jessica and I FOUND MY DRESS!She is the sweetest and I knew as soon the appointment started I would be in the best hands. She was very respectful of my budget, took so much time and care to help craft my vision for my wedding dress.Her eye for fashion really stood out, so you could tell you’re working with a seasoned professional. Unlike other consultants I’ve worked with at other bridal salons, I appreciated her input about each gown I tried. I didn’t feel like she was pushing me to purchase one today.At the end of the appointment I was in tears because of what a wonderfully person she is. Words can not describe what an angel Jessica is.Everyone at Brides by Young was so kind and insightful.

What a wonderful group of bridal specialists they have at this Chicago area location! They were very helpful and friendly from the very first phone call and even more so in-person. I went in specifically looking for a certain dress by Studio Levana and it was hanging and ready to go foe me to try on. Lori was my specialist and she was wonderful! An overall great experience at this shop. Highly recommended and it’s also a beautiful space.

This was my first and last stop when finding my dress. I knew I didn’t want a “basic” DB moment with the same dresses you see on everyone… so I picked this place because of their size and designer options. The phone call I received to set my appointment was from Jessica, and we hit it off immediately. When I asked her if she would be my consultant, she said sadly that she had another consultation at that time. Then a few minutes after we hung up she called me back and asked if I wanted to come on the following day she could do it and I said definitely!The place itself is AMAZING. Like I wanted to touch everything! If you’re looking for THAT DRESS that makes everyone go WOW I promise you could find it here! The consultants were so sweet and stylish and polite… but Jessica is a whole other level of professionalism. She is definitely the best “hype” woman without faking it, (which is exactly my kind of person) and brought me some of the most beautiful gowns that were within my budget. It was hard to pick one, but then she found it. Thank you Jessica!

Jessica at the Schaumburg location was amazing! The first dress she picked out was the one we went with because she listened to what I wanted and used their huge selection to find my perfect dress!

Ask for JESSICA! Brides by Young was the first (and last) bridal boutique I went to. Before coming I did what every bride does and read the reviews!! I kept seeing her name. When I scheduled my appointment I spoke to her over the phone and immediately released why she was so highly requested!! From start to finish my appointment was phenomenal. I told her a few things I really liked and showed her some photos ..within minutes she was back with so many beautiful/affordable options. She found THE dress. My budget was only $2,000 and she found it under that!I have spent months dreading the idea of dress shopping. I have been trying to lose more weight but finally ran out of time. I told her I almost canceled the appointment multiple times because I was scared. I did not think I’d find a dress that I liked at my size (22). I not only found a dress..I LOVE the dress. It’s beautiful, sexy, flattering...you will find a dress here! It’s suppose to be such a fun day and I was worried I wouldn’t experience that but I had a great time!They have tons of dresses, styles, price ranges. The store is beautiful. But Jessica just got it. She made me and my guests feel so comfortable and cared for. Honestly, I can never thank her enough. So dont overthink it like I did..just book an appointment and ask for Jessica! : )

This is a gem of a store and I so appreciate their mission. But, I have to say that ANNA was a dream! She was able to translate my ramblings and pantomiming into several of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen. She was fun, supportive and thoughtful and I cannot thank or recommend her enough.

I had an appointment yesterday, August 15, 2021, and was so excited to go to my first appointment for wedding dresses. I had called a couple times during the week to ask if we could bring champagne and they said yes and that they even had plastic champagne flutes for us to use if needed. Unfortunately that was not the case. When we showed up, they immediately told us that we couldn’t and that we had to drink them outside so that was a bummer. We also weren’t greeted the best either which was kind of sad. I expected to hear a very warm welcoming especially since this is a big moment for brides. We had Anna and she was the best part of the appointment and the only reason why I am giving 4 stars. Her expertise and level of professionalism was amazing. Unfortunately I didn’t walk away with a dress (had nothing to due with Brides by Young) but I’m glad I got this experience so that I can take everything I learned to my next appointment.

I cannot express enough how wonderful Brides by Young staff at the Schaumburg location were. Lori was my Consultant and she was so knowledgeable about all the gowns they have. I came in knowing I wanted to try on a specific dress and just from a few pictures and some chitchat at the beginning of my appointment, Lori pulled the exact dress I was dreaming about. Not only that but I had a vision for a veil and she pulled not one but three different veils that entailed by vision and when those didnt work she helped me customize the veil to my liking. The atmosphere was so welcoming and supportive. This was my very first appointment shopping for a wedding dress and I will not need a second one, thats how great the dress selection and staff are at Brides by Young. I never leave reviews, but this was very necessary. If you are worried about having a bad experience when trying on wedding dresses, DONT come here first. Find out how you should be treated and dont settle for less.

Bonnie was absolutely amazing to work with! My dress came in exactly when they said it would. They have a great selection of dresses that will make you feel so beautiful.

THE best place to get your dress!!!! The girls were such a big help. They make you feel so comfortable and so welcomed. They were honest and made me feel so confident in all the dresses i tried on. When we found “the one” everyone was pretty much in tears. I would recommend Brides by Young to every single bride. Even going through a pandemic they always communicated fast and sent many updates. Just a great place all around with great customer services and the sweetest staff! I cannot wait to walk down the isle in my dress!!!!!!!!

I cant say enough good things about Brides By Young... particularly Lori. I had an appointment at another salon closer to home and had such a negative experience. As soon as I made it back to my car I called Brides By Young and instantly knew I had made the right decision. Lori made me and my family feel welcome and made the whole experience so special. As a plus size woman, stipping down to your underwear in front of strangers isnt always my first choice... but Lori made me feel comfortable and kept me laughing through the whole appointment. She listened to my wants but wasnt afraid to push the envelope. I ended up in a dress I would have NEVER picked for myself and I couldnt be happier. If youre wondering if this salon is worth the trip, I promise you it absolutely is. And, Lori, thank you for making me feel like the most beautiful girl in the room. I cant thank you enough!

Jessica at the Schaumburg location was AMAZING. I never thought I’d find a dress. Let alone my first time going. She was so fun to work with, and incredibly knowledgeable. Helped me find the dress of my dreams!

I worked with Bonnie. I bought the most beautiful dress I have ever seen and it is very unique. This is a 20th anniversary wedding dress. I felt gorgeous in it and ALL the staff made me feel welcome and proud of my own body. This is the place to go if you are curvy and want a special dress. Thanks so much!!

I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone and everyone. After going to a couple of traditional bridal shops and only being able to shop in one “section” of the store (being a size 16), Brides by Young was so refreshing because I knew I could try on every single dress in the store. My stylist listened to my opinions and pulled some amazing dresses. The first dress she put me in was the one I ended up purchasing! Can’t say enough great things about them. Thanks for a great experience.

I worked with Lori and had an incredible experience. She was so easy to work with and made the process enjoyable! She listened to what I thought I wanted but also provided suggestions based on my body shape. I’m so glad she did because I ended up choosing a dress that she personally recommended. Cannot wait to receive it!

They are the absolute best!! Lori assisted me and she did an amazing job! I can’t believe how great they are!! Love love love!!

This was my first and last stop! Lori was the best. I was very nervous and insecure about going in to get fitted and try on dresses. Lori made everything nice and calm. When I left I felt 100 times more confident after finding my dress. The boutique is very clean and nice. I felted very welcome and comfortable here. Definitely a no judgment !!!!! Thank you to all the ladies here for helping me find the best dress.

I had a last minute dress emergency and Jessica saved my wedding day! I initially purchased my dress from here in 2019, but due to a dress disaster 5 days before my wedding, I needed a new dress! I came into the shop with tears and not much hope I’d be able to find something for a wedding in 5 days. Brides by Young Schaumburg was able to fit me into an appointment the same afternoon I called.When I came into the store all of the ladies at the front desk were extremely supportive and ready to help me find something! I got to work with Jessica again and she is a godsend! She not only did a phenomenal job of calming down a tearful bride without a dress 5 days before her wedding, but worked tirelessly to find me an even better dress than the one I initially purchased from them in 2019. She was patient, calm, and truly the support I needed that day! Not only did she help me find a new dress, but she also worked to help me get an appointment with a seamstress that same night! I can’t recommend Jessica and Brides By Young enough to any bride looking to feel confident and beautiful on her wedding day!

I worked with Jessica Williams and she was such a kind loving human who wanted me to feel my absolute best and she did not disappoint. Best experience dress shopping. I highly highly recommend.

If you are looking for a wedding dress you should start and stop here! Bonnie was great and helped me find my dress. The entire team chimed in to help but it wasnt overwhelming. I went to 2 other appointments and the dresses nor the service came close to brides by Young. If youre a plus size girl do yourself a favor and shop here!! Thanks Bonnie, Naz and the entire team you are all wonderful!

I’d give a zero if I could! These people are scammers and will overcharge you and leave you with a lousy excuse of a dress!! DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!

I had a great experience on Saturday purchasing my wedding gown at Brides by Young. I am not the typical bride. I am not a girly-girl at all, so I had no real vision of a wedding dress. On top of that, dress shopping is usually uncomfortable as a plus-size woman. Bonnie was able to push me out of my comfort zone and try things until we found the absolute perfect dress for me and my personality. I highly recommend BBY and Bonnie!

I wasnt sure exactly which dress I wanted when I booked my appointment with Laurie at Brides by Young but Im so glad I had my first appt with her! She picked out about 7 different dresses and I told her and showed her some of the things I like and dislike and certain dresses. I loved several of their exclusive dresses, and the dress I ended up saying yes to made me feel absolutely beautiful. Im not a terribly emotional person so tearing up was a great surprise! Laurie was incredibly patient with me and my bridal party and made sure I was comfortable the entire appt

I cannot say enough about Lori and my experience at Brides by Young. I felt comfortable and loved how I was so well taken care of. I was helped into every dress, given superstar treatment, and left feeling beautiful after I picked my dress. An amazing experience!

Customer service is beyond amazing!!! Helpful and made me feel beautiful!!Highly recommend!!

I said yes to the dress today and it was the most amazing experience. Before today I had been to 3 other bridal stores and I left feeling less then a person and upset. Brides by young made me feel so unbelievably beautiful, happy and comfortable. They walked me through every question I had and made sure i loved my final decision. I worked with Anna and she pulled out all the stops to make sure I felt comfortable and welcomed. If you are a curvy woman please go here for your dress you won’t be disappointed.

I had the most wonderful experience at Brides by Young! I had Lori as my consultant and she was absolutely amazing! She was very kind and also a good listener. I told her all the things I wanted and she was able to find me the most perfect dress that had everything and more! My appointment made it feel really real and now I even more excited to walk down the isle!

I love this place!!! The staff is friendly and so professional! If I could buy a dress all over again I would go right back to brides by young to have the experience all over again. Anna is the best!!!! She made me feel so beautiful and secure. She went above and beyond and made sure I got everything I wanted in a dress. If you are looking for a dress this is the place you will not be disappointed!!

This was the third store that I tried on wedding dresses at and by far it made me feel so confident. The dress that was the one for me was from a trunk show with Demetrios, so it was a little small on me but the ladies went above and beyond to make me feel beautiful.Special thanks to Anna for working with me and being so kind, patient and just making this such a pleasurable experience.Highly recommend!

Finally I can leave my review LOL this place treated me like a queen!! And found the perfect dress to fit my body type would highly recommend

Infinite Stars!!1) These are not extended size dresses, these are dresses made specifically for curvy bodies, and they are beautiful. The dress I picked looks like something that should be on the runway.2) If you are outside the regular ordering period call and see what they can do for you. I am a last minute COVID bride and they were able to still order me a dress.3) They are extremely affordable.4) You will find your dress here!Story:I was calling around to plus size bridal shops to see who had off the rack dresses because I was convinced that it was too late to order a dress. When I called Brides by Young I had the good fortune of speaking with Nasreen, the manager, who asked me a few details and then urged me to get to the store that day. She promised if I made it in that day, I would not only find a dress that could be shipped in time, I would find THEE dress, and she was correct!When I arrived at the store I was paired with Senior Stylist Bonnie and she was amazing! She knew what I wanted before I did. I thought I wanted a certain style and she assured me I didnt, but wanted me to try it on so I could see for myself and she, of course, was right. It took about four dresses to find the one, and when I did there was no question about it.The entire experience was outstanding. I dont know why, but before I arrived, I was so nervous about trying on dresses, but everyone, especially Bonnie, made me feel safe and comfortable, and most of all beautiful.I recommend Brides by Young a million times over!!

I can’t say enough great things about Brides By Young! They had an amazing selection of dresses! I was shocked by how many I could actually choose from. I was so nervous that I wouldn’t look good in anything and I found my dream dress! I never imagined I would feel so confident. My stylist Jessica was AMAZING! She did a great job of listening to what I wanted and guiding me through the process. I never felt rushed and she really took the time to make sure I made the right decision. She was so fun to be around and made everyone feel involved even my maid of honor who had to FaceTime in from out of town! And Jessica knocked it out of the park with her veil and accessory recommendations! Things I never would have picked myself ended up being pulled together for the perfect look! And at the end of the appointment they let my mom try on a few dresses and my mom left with her mother of the bride dress purchased too! I cannot recommend them enough!

Lori and Nas were amazing! They were very knowledgeable and patient in helping find a dress. I looked at so many dress shops and the samples didn’t fit. Feeling a bit discouraged, I found Brides by Young online and made an appointment. I tried on many different styles in dresses that actually fit or were too big! Finally excited about my wedding dress and said yes to the dress today! Found the perfect little belt and veil accessories. Can’t wait for my dress to come in. 💗

Look no further!! Brides by Young was awesome!! From the minute I talked to them to set up my appointment through the dress buying experience they were wonderful! Jessica was the best consultant I have dealt with at any bridal salon! I felt so comfortable with her and she made sure that I felt confident. They dont push you into buying a dress but want to make sure you feel your best and she were great at juggling different opinions of people who had come with me. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted but also made me feel confident in my purchase by helping me to try on different styles that I might not have chosen for myself! She had a hard job because I walked in thinking I was going to buy a different dress from another salon and Im so glad that I came here to see their HUGE selection! Because I found THE one! Thanks Jessica and Brides by Young! You all make this experience so much more positive for women who are curvy! We all deserve to look beautiful on our wedding day and feel confident and youve made it possible in a way no other salon has!! Much love!!

There are literally ANGELS working at Brides by Young I’m Schaumburg! From the moment I had my first call with Nasreen, I knew I was going into a completely different bridal shop. They truly celebrate plus size women, and I just felt so at home! Their assortment of dresses make you never want to leave, seriously, I just wanted to try them all on even after I found the one! Nasreen, Lori, Jessica, I can’t say thank you enough for all that you do and all that you did for me! You made me feel like a princess, and I can’t wait to rock this dress for my wedding! If you’re a plus size bride, I highly recommend making the trip to BBY - you WILL find your dress there!

Such an incredible experience! The ladies that work here are not just here to make a sale. They genuinely care about helping you find your dream dress. They were attentive and supportive. And very helpful! So glad I ran into them!

If you have the opportunity to go to one of the Brides by Young stores GO!! Lori made me felt comfortable and beautiful, showed me multiple dresses, it made it a very difficult decision. I’m definitely glad I made the drive to this store, every bride should have this experience dress shopping. — at Brides by Young - Schaumburg.

I will recommend Brides By Young to everyone! I was having such a hard time finding a dress because I could never fit into the sample dresses at other shops. When I called to make an appointment they made me feel very comfortable. They assured me that I will fit into all of the sample dresses! I was welcomed into the shop with open arms. I wish I knew about Brides By Young in the beginning of my hunt for a dress. 10/10 recommend making an appointment!

I had the most amazing experience at Brides by Young. I had Jessica helping me and she made me feel AMAZING!! She recommended styles for my body that I never thought I would like, and they all looked amazing. She made me feel so beautiful and so confident. Plus sized brides - shop nowhere else! This should be your first and only stop! What a great afternoon I had with some really empowering ladies. Thank you Brides by Young team and Jessica!!!

My experience at Brides by Young was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning when I schedule the appointment with Nasreen I felt right at home. Once we arrived, all of the women were so kind and welcoming. My stylist was Bonnie and she made it her business to get to know my personality to help me pick the best options. Nasreen and Bonnie tag teamed on helping me find my dress and I was so happy. My first and last bridal store! I’m really glad I chose to visit Brides by Young and found my wedding dress. The ladies here truly love what they do and help you find the best way to enhance your best features.

I had the pleasure of working with Jessica and let me tell you she is amazing. This is my very first store that I went to and the very first time trying on a wedding dress. She made me feel so comfortable, confident and most importantly beautiful. She listened to all my wants and musts. Thankfully she choose a few dresses for me to try on that she thought would look great on me. LET ME TELL YOU MY YESSS DRESS WAS HER PICK! She made me laugh the whole time. Management is also as great as Jessica. Thank you Brides by Young for an amazing experience!

Absolutely amazing!! I had Jessica as my bridal stylist and she was so amazing. We were able to bond and she picked out absolutely amazing dresses. She told me she picked them out just based on talking to me and looking at me. They we absolutely beautiful. She made me feel like an absolute princess!!! I 110% recommend Brides by Young for curvy brides for amazing dresses.

I went to Brides by Young in September/2020. To be honest, I was really nervous about going to my appointment due to Covid. I was told that Id be the only bride in the store at the time of my appointment and that if someone else came in, theyd be at the other end of the store. I was also reassured that everyone would wear a mask and social distance.They did exactly everything I was promised. I had such an amazing experience at Brides by Young. I went in not knowing what to expect with dress shopping and Jessica was an amazing human. She put me at ease and was so easy to talk to that I didnt feel self conscious at all.Being a fat bride, I wasnt sure if any of the dresses would fit but I was able to try on dresses that fit my body so well so I was able to get a good idea of what it would look like on my day.I cant express enough how well I was taken care of and how professional, kind, and reassuring Jessica and other staff were. 10/10, I would totally recommend to all plus size brides!

My experience here was absolutely amazing! I’m getting married in June and had a short window of time to get my wedding dress. I was extremely nervous to try on wedding dresses because the wedding industry is out to make brides feel awful about their size and bodies. Lori made me feel relaxed and comfortable about the whole experience! She made me feel confident and beautiful along with the other consultants that were there! Everyone was so friendly and encouraging and made me feel so good in every dress I thought it was going to be challenging to find THE ONE. If your plus size I recommend that this be the first place you go to look for dresses, they have so many beautiful dresses to choose from! I said yes to my dream dress and I couldn’t be happier!

First off let me start off by saying if you are a plus size or curvy woman THIS IS THE PLACE YOU WANT TO BE. Feeling beautiful and confident was the number one goal and WE DID THAT. Plus size women often get the short end of the stick when it comes to clothes, but not at brides by young. I was paired with the most amazing stylist, Jessica who put me in the most beautiful dresses that truly CELEBRATED my body. I could not be happier with my experience and I can not wait show off my dress at my wedding. I could go on about how amazing this bridal shop is but you honestly just have to experience it for yourself.

As the location where I said “yes” to my dress, this review may be especially biased but I just had to share my amazing experience at Brides by Young. Throughout my entire process dress shopping I have been told that the style of dress I liked was not available in my size, been made to squeeze into dresses that were too small and told to “just imagine” how it’ll look when it fits me right, and at some places been turned away completely. Because of this dress shopping started to become a very stressful experience for me that really had a damper on my self-esteem. This is a mindset that brides definitely shouldn’t have to go through, and yet so many do! Brides by Young was such a breath of fresh air. From my first phone call with my stylist Jessica to set up the appointment, I already knew that I was in good hands. My favorite thing about the experience is that Jessica took a moment to get to know me, my guests, and what I was looking for for my wedding and from that information she was able to pull dresses that really spoke to me as a person. This is the first time I had ever had a stylist think about my personality as a part of the dresses she pulled for me to try on. It is very clear that the goal of Brides by Young is to help women find a dress that works for them and truly makes them feel like a bride, they do not treat this experience as a commission opportunity-like soo many places do. Everyone was so kind and genuinely pleasant to be around and they all truly made me feel beautiful, which was something I was missing at a lot of places. I cannot recommend Brides by Young enough.

I cannot even fathom a better experience wedding dress shopping than I had on Saturday. I had been to the larger name stores before, you know the ones, where “plus size” is out in a different room near the ...ahem...BOILER ROOM. At brides by young from the phone services making an appointment I felt like I was talking to a friend! They welcomed me and my bridal team and made everyone feel great! Bonnie was phenomenal! I truly felt like a queen and that the staff genuinely CARED for me and my family with me. Such a personal service which ultimately secured me wanting to give them my business. I was initially concerned or worried at the price. Such a beautiful shop, with amazingly trained staff, it must be crazy expensive right? Wrong! I was under my $2,000 budget for the dress of my dreamsssss. I will recommend this store 1000times over to anyone looking for more of a special, personal feel.

I had been to 5 other bridal shops before my appointment at Brides by Young. Each place I had found about 1-2 options that I thought could totally work. I am about a size 12/14 in regular clothes which pretty much immediately puts you in plus sized for bridal (dont let bridal sizes get you down, ladies!). Anyway, I had the BEST experience at Brides by Young because I was able to try on every type of dress in any style I wanted! At other stores, nothing would quite zip and it was SO hard to tell what looked good because nothing fit or sat right on my body. Jessica, my consultant at this store, was amazing! She was so patient and listened to all of my crazy ideas and questions. Also, she is just a genuinely like-able person. I loved that there were so many girls in there with as many body types as there are stars in the sky and EVERYONE felt beautiful and EVERYONE was treated like a princess. They had notable brands like Essence, Pronovias, Allure, etc. I left some other stores feeling a bit sad and defeated but I left here feeling AMAZING! Who knew wedding dress shopping could be such an awesome, body-positive, and confidence-boosting experience. Oh, and they were also 100% respectful of my budget and didnt sneak any pricey gowns in there ;) Really, all other stores should be more like them!

I had an amazing experience here! I was lucky enough to get to work with two stylists, Jessica and Anna. They were so patient sweet helpful and attentive!! I cannot say enough good things about them. I was told before coming I would only be shown dresses within my budget and they really did stick to that promise- which I appreciated! They made me feel so special and understood exactly what I was envisioning and eventually helped me find the perfect dress!! After finding the dress- I got to dress it up with a veil and headpiece, I felt so beautiful! My only compliant would be when checking out to purchase the dress- my total was almost 1,000 over my max budget, which was shocking since they mentioned they would stay within budget- however the total included the veil and headpiece (which I was never asked if I wanted to purchase.) It was easy enough to remove that from the total and buy the dress alone. Other than that- wonderful experience and will recommend to others!

The idea of wedding dress shopping has always made me a little nervous because I wasnt sure what to expect. Anna at BBY made deciding on my look, finding the dress and explaining to me how the process would look like incredibly easy and more fun than I could have thought. They get to know you ahead of time and follow up with you multiple times before your appointment. I would definitely recommend this place to any bride that might be a little nervous or wants awesome customer service to come here. Im incredibly happy that I found my dress here. I couldnt picture getting it anywhere else!

We had such a wonderful experience at Brides by Young! They made our bride feel one-of-a-kind, and so beautiful! This is a designer dress shop with a boutique feel. They specialize in plus size dresses and were able to accommodate to our needs. The customer service was top notch. The dress that our bride picked was designed by the owner and is absolutely stunning and so unique!

Do not go anywhere else! The women at this place are top notch and know what they are doing! Jessica picked the perfect dresses for me to try on...a little bit of everything. She asked me which one was I wanted to try on first, and that is actually the dress I picked. She said she knew it would be the one! The only regret I have is that my wedding is a year away and I cant wear my dress sooner!

The ladies there made me feel comfortable and helped me find the perfect dress. They were pleasant to work with and were a hoot! The selection there was amazing! Completely different experience than going to other boutiques. The sky was my limit and i loved having all those options to choose from. Thank you brides by young!!

Jessica was amazing at helping my friend find a dress! There is great selection with lots of styles. What set our experience apart from the other bridal studios we visited was Jessica. She was kind, friendly, and most importantly listened to what my friend was looking for. She made dress shopping enjoyable and were so happy we had her as a stylist.

Absolutely loved my time at Brides by Young. Beautiful Dresses, Beautiful Store. They truly make you feel like a star.

Wow, I truly can’t explain how amazing my experience at Brides by Young was. I had the privilege to work with Jessica. Jessica not only made me feel amazing, but she was patient, hilarious, and made sure that I made the best decision for ME. Jessica was the reason dress shopping was such a fairytale. If you have the opportunity, go here!

I had tried on dresses at other stores and this was the first time I was able to truly see what a dress would look like on me before making a decision! Had I known about this place I wouldn’t have gone to the others! Bonnie- the stylist made me feel comfortable, at ease, and made sure it was all about me! When I came all I thought was it would be a way to determine what styles of dresses I would like. Definitely didn’t expect to find my dress like I did but so very glad I did! I would recommend Brides by Young for big beautiful girls like me! Thank you for making this big beautiful girl so happy and help me to say “yes to the dress” with confidence!

I was trying to schedule an appointment for tomorrow. At first I requested the appointment on their website but then I saw a chat window so I sent a text through it as well. I attached the pictures so you can see how that went... Please pay attention to the respond time. They responded within few minutes to my first question which was great, but then didnt reply to my question about if I could schedule appointment for next day at5:30pm. After 25 min I noticed that I didnt answer the question about what I am looking for and when is the wedding, so I quickly replied with the answers. Within minutes I saw that they were calling me but I couldnt answer since I work on Sundays. I apologized and explained why I couldnt talk on the phone. Again, within a minute I got the reply with another questions. When I answered what is my size and my price range I got ghosted. No reply. Nothing. I understand that they could be extremely busy with clients inside but they should at least let me know that they will get back to me or that they are busy. I am after all a potential client as well, and just because its been a chat conversation and not a phone call you dont treat customers this way! After 15 more min, so around 4:30, I called them and the lady on the phone apologized and explained that they are a salon for only curvy brides and that they wouldnt have a dress my size. Which I completely understand but that still doesnt explain the rudeness and disappearing of this person who talked to me on this chat, . I just wish I knew her name.Brides by Young please improve your customer service!Ps. At 5pm I finally got respond on the chat that said I apologize we were busy! Please let us know if we can help you further. Have a great evening!.Really TERRIBLE customer service!

Great staff and tons of dresses

These ladies were FABULOUS. From Jessica and her welcoming personality to Bonnie working to find me the perfect dress. They were genuine, kind and true experts. I found the dress that matches me and my personality perfectly! I will recommend these ladies to any new bride!

I said YES to the dress! The girls at Brides By Young are super helpful. Jessica is the sweetest! She was very patient with me since the first time I walked in and when it came to describing what dress I was looking for she would pick just what I described. Very happy I got my dress form here 🙂

Honestly dress shopping was a dreadful thing at first. I wear a size 12/14 in street clothes and I have been trying to loose weight just to stay healthy. After going to a few places to try on dresses I broke down to my fiancé and was upset. I felt I have been working so hard on my body and it was so miserable going to other stores that only had small sample sizes to try on. I would walk into the store and all the other brides were being clipped into the dress because they were too big for them and me I felt like I was exploding out of it and couldn’t even get into some. When I was looking up more places to go I found Brides by Young in schaumburg. I never thought of myself plus size (even though there is NOTHING wrong with that) but I saw so many reviews about being curvy and I thought I would give this place a try. First off the whole team worked together it was beyond amazing. If I had a penny for the amount of compliments I have received from the staff I would be a billionaire. This place has the best sample sizes for women in all shapes and sizes! It’s so body positive and the team makes you feel great. Honestly this place saved me because I was at the point of settling and giving up. I am truly thankful for them!

I absolutely loved Jessica. I live in Kansas, but my wedding will be in the burbs. I came to try on dresses, after I discussed what I was looking for on the phone with her. I felt that she knew exactly what I was looking for after our phone conversation. She was respectful of my budget and so much fun to work with! All the girls that work there are so nice and accomodating! Im so happy I got to meet Jessica, and that she was a part of my shopping process. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Jessica or Brides by Young for your dress shopping needs! They really capture the essence of what you want and make you feel and look beautiful. Thank you for all your help and staying late to accommodate us.

Nazrene and Lori are phenomenal to work with and catered to what I had envisioned for my special day

I said yes to the dress!!!!! Brides by Young is absolutely the best! They made me feel beautiful and special! We all know in retail the goal is to make a sale however, I felt like it wasn’t about the sale, I felt like they were truly trying to make sure that I felt beautiful and in love! Jessica was patient and kind and very honest it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend brides by Young to any curvy girl trying to find the perfect wedding dress!!!

I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am that I found Brides by Young. I was extremely nervous about the dress shopping experience and from the second I walked in, they made me comfortable. It was an absolute dream! I could not have picked a better consultant for myself if I tried. Jessica made the entire experience a dream. She listened to what I was saying about each dress and in the end, we found the dress I’d been dreaming of! My family and I raved about Jessica the entire way home because we all love her that much. She made us all so comfortable and made us laugh endlessly. She refused to let me settle for anything less than the dress of my dreams, and brought me out of my shell. I was so nervous about how the day would go, but I’m so happy to say it was a wonderful experience. Jessica and Brides by Young, we love you!!!

Before even going, when I spoke on the phone I was asked questions and they gave me a run down of what to expect. Super helpful! My stylist Jessica was fun and we hit it off! She was very attentive, listened, and also offered up great suggestions as to what style she thought would look good. All necessary, as I hate shopping and pretty much dread regular shopping so this made me worry. She eased my nervousness and made it feel fun. I love the dress I picked! I wouldnt change this experience for anything.

I don’t know how to describe how amazing this place is! I had been to at least 5 stores before driving 1.5 hr to brides by young. I’m a size 14 - not truly plus size, but not a size 6 either and my options were always extremely limited everywhere else. I felt like the fat girl everywhere I went...until I came here!Lori was so patient with me and tried to help me narrow in on what I wanted. We tried a variety of styles and she listened to the pieces I liked of each. She wasn’t afraid to go the extra mile and ask her coworkers for opinions. She was not pushy and completely respectful of my budget. I LOVED working with her. She brought in Nasreen to give ideas and Nas is just as lovely as Lori! The staff here is top notch - at one point even dancing with my mom! I found my dress. I had a wonderful experience. I felt beautiful and I didn’t feel the slightest bit rushed. This is THE place to find your dress. It’s a curvy girl’s dream!

When I walked into Brides by Young, I was sooo nervous, but literally every employee there was so sweet and so helpful. My consultant was Anna. She was sweet and friendly. She listened to what I liked and brought in a lot of different dresses that checked off all the things I wanted as well as different silhouettes to make sure I knew what shape I wanted. I thought for sure I would be really picky and have a hard time, but Anna helped me find my dress pretty easily and got a gorgeous veil to match, and Im so excited! The manager, Nasreen, was also absolutely lovely and funny. I brought my 3 bridesmaids and we all felt so welcomed. It was literally the best experience I could have had. Highly recommend!

Everyone at Brides by Young were so sweet and helpful. When I first arrived, i was greeted by Sabina, my bridal stylist, and she was awesome! She asked several questions to get to know me and then asked questions about the styles i wanted to try. She also have her input as well and helped me find my dress on the first try. I just picked up my dress yesterday and Nasreen was helpful and informative in how to care for the gown and accessories. Brides by Young will always have a place in my heart. I love them so much! Would definitely recommend them to everyone 1000%!

Had such a great experience here. It was very inclusive and I didnt worry about feeling too fat to be a bride. Our stylist, Jessica, was absolutely wonderful. She listened to everyone in my partys thoughts and we found the perfect dress!

Lori is the best!!!!! I couldn’t be happier with my dress and the girls that work there!!! Nasreen is awesome too but this is all for Lori!!!!

Jessica was a DREAM! We had the absolute best time finding my dress at Brides by Young. We went to another local bridal store the other day and the experience did not compare. Jessica was so sweet, so funny and made me feel more confident than I’ve ever felt. I knew walking in that this place would be the place where I found my dress. Not only did she nail it on the first try, she knew exactly what I was looking for and made sure I felt beautiful. It was an amazing experience. If I could go back and do it 1000 times I would, just so I could work with Jessica again. Thank you for everything! ❤️

The ladies at Brides by Young were amazing. I described what I was looking for and showed a couple example photos, and they pulled my dream dress as the first one. They showed me other beautiful dresses to make sure that I loved the first one and were so knowledgeable and helpful. I was working with a limited timeframe and was worried I would have to settle, but I found a dress I adore! It was a great experience from the very first phone call setting the appointment to the end! I highly recommend Brides by Young!

Brides by Young is hands down the best. Best experience. Best consultants / stylists and owner. My experience was fun, stress free and curated based on what information I gave them. I didn’t have to worry about not fitting in a sample size. So thankful for Young and the entire Brides by Young team for a plus size bridal shopping experience that was painless, fun and exciting! Thank you Jessica and Young!

My review is still pending and will be updated based on how this situation is handled in the end....My concerns were heard and addressed, they did a fantastic job at quickly and smoothly resolving any issues on hand.

FANTASTIC!!! I cant say what a positive experience I had there enough. Bonnie was super knowledgeable and had a real eye not only for what I wanted, but also what looked good on my body. The entire staff made me feel beautiful and confident. It really was an experience and not just a sale. The personal attention and selection of dresses makes Brides by Young an excellent choice, but the feeling of fellowship and support made it a healthy and necessary one during the stresses of wedding planning. I wish I could go back just to hang out!

Bride’s by Young has fantastic customer service. Even through the closings related to social distancing, I was kept up to date about my appointment and rescheduling. The team was professional and helped me to find my perfect dress. I worked with Bonnie, and she listened to my preferences and was wonderful. Thanks to Brides by Young for helping me to find my wedding dress.

And just like that, we have a dress! I walked into Brides by Young pretty sure I had found my dress at an earlier appointment at another salon. They proved me wrong! I fell in love with not one, but three beautiful dresses at BBY. Lori made me feel wonderful and found amazing dresses that perfectly matched my boho/vintage aesthetic. Thanks to Nasreen as well! Y’all are awesome!

LOVE IT!! I got nothing but admiration for this awesome place. The attention and dedication to the brides is just outstanding! Ana was knows how to help to find the right dress, I highly recommend it!

I had the BEST experience at Brides By Young! I had no idea what to expect and was so nervous at first, but Bonnie was so patient and happy to help me through the process. It was a fun time and was so exciting to have the other ladies chip in and root me on when trying on dresses! I highly recommend this place!

This was my first time going wedding dress shopping and it was amazing! Jessica was so helpful and made me feel comfortable and confident in the process and made it fun for my whole group! Definitely recommending to other brides!

This was my third time trying on bridal gowns. This was such a great experience. Being able to see a gown in a size and cup size that actually fit you is a total game changer. If you are plus size or having a hard time seeing yourself in sample sizes that don’t fit GO TO Brides by Young! The ladies were sooo nice and welcoming. I tried on every style that I thought I wanted and my consultant suggested a different style and I ended up saying yes to that Suggestion. You don’t feel rushed and they genuinely give you great feedback on the styles and what is flattering for your body type.

My experience with brides by young was amazing!! From the consultation to the customer service Nazarene couldn’t be any sweeter and on top of her game even through this pandemic she stayed in touch with updates and made me feel at ease! They definitely are giving 5 star service and I would highly recommend them to any curvy women in need of a formal or wedding gown! It’s nice to see business that have great product and service that cater to a curvy women!

My Brides by Young experience was magical!When I first arrived, I was greeted by all sales associates. They were all so welcoming! Due to COVID, we were all asked to wash our hands & had our temps taken. They then escorted us to our own dressing room. The space was clean, spacious and pretty!I was lucky enough to have Laurie to assist me with trying on dresses. She was so positive and helpful. She listened to what I liked and what I didnt like. Every.single.dress was everything and more!!!!The first dress I tried on brought me to tears (and ended up being THE DRESS!) All the other dresses I tried on were gorgeous and SO flattering. You cannot go wrong with any of them!I would recommend Brides by Young to everyone, especially curvy brides!! My MOH(s) and MOB couldnt stop talking about the experience as well!Thank you Brides by Young team! We appreciate you!

Everyone is so helpful and they really listen to what youre wanting! I ended up picking the second dress I tried on and I am absolutely in love with it! My dress delivered on time even with everything going on and I was able to try her on without issue once she arrived! 10/10 would absolutely recommend this store.

These ladies are AMAZING!! From start to finish this was hands down the best experience Ive had. The best part of it all is that my dress came in earlier than expected, and fit perfectly! Although were living in a time filled with uncertainty and worry, worry no more. These ladies are professional, kind, and the best hype women you can have around!! Their prices are very reasonable considering the quality they offer, and the service they provide. I will highly recommend to brides still searching for their perfect dress, and for future brides to come. Thank you again Bonnie and Nasreen! I seriously cant wait to wear my dress on our wedding day.

I had the best experience at Brides by Young. Sabina was amazing! My family and I were greeted warmly, and we felt so comfortable with her. She took the time to listen and understand what I wanted for my wedding dress. She did so well that the first dress I tried on ended up being the one I said “YES!” I did try other dresses just in case and she was so patient and attentive the entire time. I am thrilled to have gone to Brides by Young and feel fortunate to have had Sabina’s help. Thank you so much!

Everyone was super helpful and made the experience wonderful for my bestfriend/the bride !!! Highly recommend!!!! All the staff was amazing !!!! Anna was seriously the best

Brides by young was a wonderful experience. They were able to help me find the PERFECT dress for my wedding. During this unexpected pandemic they were excellent with keeping me informed about my dress and I got it on time as they promised. I highly recommend anyone that wants a beautiful dress and a great experience to definitely give them a try. THEY ROCK!!!!!!!!

Jessica was amazing. She is kind, she is positive, and she is amazing at her job. I was between two dresses because I liked the top of one and the bottom of the other and Jessica knew exactly what to go get. I immediately loved the dress.

Great experience! Very reasonable prices and assortments of dresses! Loved my experience there!

If youre looking for a place that is professional, experienced, and accommodating, this is the place to go to! This was my second experience, as my dress had come in for pick up (two months earlier than expected, which in these times was surprising and greatly released a lot of stress) and it was quick and effortless. Location was incredibly clean, masks were worn and they made sure to ask questions about my needs/accommodations during these trying times. I cant wait to wear the beautiful dress they helped me pick out and encourage anyone who is curvy/plus sized to make a apppointment and check this place out before you go to your standard wedding dress store!
