I went bridal shopping at Strut Bridal for the first time a week ago. I had the absolute pleasure of being assisted by Brooke. She’s such a sweet and outgoing woman and made me feel so much less self conscious when trying on dresses. She made the process so much easier than an other salons I went to. The selection isn’t a huge warehouse which makes it that much less overwhelming. Even with a smaller selection I still found my dream dress!!! I wanted to be sure that was THE DRESS so I went to another salon a week after that and nothing compared. Went back to Strut after the other salon failed to live up to my expectations and purchased my dress (from Brooke of course)! The head pieces and veils are absolutely gorgeous as well! Highly, highly recommend stopping in there. Every employee is so kind and helpful.
Me and my fiancée went here to look at dresses. I was very sure that we would be going to several bridal shops before picking out our dresses. We even had appointments for a few. However the selection was amazing. Even tho all the styles/ cuts weren’t for us they still looked flattering. The size selection was amazing. We are both bigger girls in different areas and did not need a dress extension (?) like you see on say yes to the dress.They ordered extra dress lace for us so that a sleeveless dress could have sleeves. And a nice selection of jewelry really made the day. Our consultant really listened to us and made great suggestions. We wound up buying both our dresses there. And you can make payments for your dress/ package online love it!!
I was anxious about finding a wedding dress I felt confident in, but Kaylei was amazing. She took the ideas about my dream dress from Pinterest and curated an absolutely incredible selection. I was absolutely amazed. She was kind and patient with me as I made my decision. She was quick to respond to my many questions and later messages. She made the process so seamless and stress free. I cannot recommend Strut, and specifically Kaylei, enough!
I meant to leave this review a while ago but it kept slipping off my to-do list. No more waiting! I want to say how amazing Brooke and her team was back in February when we first picked my dress then again in September when I picked it up from the shop. Trying it on, getting the ‘I found the one’ moment was comparable to the feeling of being proposed to all over again! HahahahWhen we are married this weekend, I’ll be sure to update my review with photos! Thank you again Brooke! We appreciate you and your patience!!
The staff and selection are fabulous. Would give this place a 5 if they updated the store or had a better location. The store is dark and doesn’t give that “I’m shopping for my wedding dress vibes!” At all. Feels like you’re at a discount store, but without the discount prices. Have been hoping for a while for renovations since it’s the best place for plus size bridal, but feel like it’s worth driving to their California location or a different bridal store all together instead.
My experience here was the BEST! Brooke made us feel so welcomed when we walked in. Loved how hype the place and staff were. Semaj was my stylist and oh my gosh was he the best! He is the sweetest and kindest person. He asked me all the questions to help me find my perfect dress. I said yes to the dress! Semaj, thank you so much for helping me through this journey. I appreciate you a bunch! The whole staff is great! Thank you Strut Salon!
Had the most wonderful experience at Strut and found the perfect dress! As both a curvy and older bride, the selection was great. Ive never felt more beautiful! Brooke was awesome at choosing dresses and I only needed to try on 4. 2, I picked and 2 Brooke picked! She definitely picked the winner! A great experience and a memory to be cherished! Thank you!
Had an amazing first bridal shopping experience. My bridal stylist Ronnie was amazing. She helped me find that perfect dress and kept me within budget. If you are looking for a place to say yes to the dress, this is defiantly the perfect place for you. :)
Brooke was awesome! She went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress and veil. She is so cheerful and enthusiastic! I really enjoyed the visits.
If you are a curvy bride, then Strut is THE place to get your wedding dress! Brooke was amazing in helping me pick out the perfect dress for the big day. She was patient when I couldnt decide between two dresses and encouraged me to keep trying each on until I was absolutely certain with the dress I picked.I loved how the dresses were arranged by style and price. It made it much easier to make sure that stayed within budget and I didnt have to ask on every dress how much is this before I decided if I wanted to try it on or not.Thank you Brooke! I cant wait for my dress to get here!
At first, my experience was wonderful, but unfortunately that quickly changed. When I went to pick up my dress. It always ordered wrong, so they had to quickly make corrections there. The woman Ronnie who worked there, was so rude to me and other staff members. When my mom asked Brooke, who is the only sales person who knows what she’s doing there, she tried to correct the issue. At least, we thought she did. I bought a package with my dress, which was suppose to get me 5 items, steaming of the dress after alterations, and preservation of my dress. When I went to pick up my dress, that suddenly changed, now it was 5 items to preserve my dress with. So we said okay, took the dress. Wedding is over, I go to get it preserved, I’m told to come in any day, it’s a quick process, I drive an hour to get there on Wednesday, they were closed, go back the next day in which I’m told I now I have to pay for the preservation of my dress, which when I bought the dress, it was explained that me buying the package got me the preservation for free! Again, Ronnie was nothing but unprofessional with me when I was there. So I left and we called the store asking to deal with only Brooke! Finally I hear back from Brooke, she tells me the package was explained wrong, and she knows that, and now the package changed again. She said she would give me even more of a discount on my preservation, then what this so called packaged for me, at this point, I’m so upset bc all I want is my dress preserved for my future children but don’t want to deal with this company! I am so disappointed, I strongly urge all brides to STAY AWAY from this bridal store, my wedding dress experience was completely destroyed, and I’d hate to see anyone else go through this!
One of the worst companies to deal with. I went with my daughter and her future mother-in-law to find and purchase her wedding gown. We meet with a customer service rep named Brooke who I have to say she it was amazing. Brooke talked us in to purchasing a package to preserve her down and to get five items additional for $250. In March her gown finally comes in which Brooke ordered it wrong and that day my daughter was a mess. The lady Ronnie we were dealing with was horrible nasty and not nice at us or the training working with her. I needed to insist that gar Brooke stop taken care of another bridge to make right my my daughter. Brooke needed to do allot to the dress to make it right. My daughter and I was looking for an accessory to add to the dress, since we were told it was free. Brooke proceeded to tell us she was incorrect on the package and we don’t get up to 5 things free we can preserve up to 5 items with the gown. Brooke then told her us to take the dress to a seamstress in Phoenix and order a belt on Amazon, which we did. 6 weeks after the wedding we go back to get the dress preserved and Ronnie again treating my daughter like dirt Lyell her she needs to pay fir the gown to be preserved. I called and asked fir Brooke who calls me back and tells me the owner desired to refund me 269.00 whim the per serving of the dress cost 279.00. I can not believe the owner and Brooke would not eat the difference. Put I guess my daughter is a past customer not a new one. STAY CLEAR if this place.
Brooke was so fantastic when we went to strut bridal for my sister. We had visited so many before to find a plus size dress that wouldnt look too big but fit elegantly and when we went here Brooke made my sister smile the whole appointment which is how I knew it was the perfect place because other places she wasnt smiling. We found the perfect dress and she fell in love with it. Thank you Brooke and strut bridal
I first went in with my Fiancé because I just wanted to see his reaction to the different styles. Brooke welcomed us with open arm and didnt make it weird as other shops did. By my next appointment I knew The dress I wanted and Brooke has been there every step of the way. Even when I called 30 days before the wedding for alterations she was a sweetheart and made sure all went well.
OMG! The drive from Tucson is absolutely worth the trip if you are a curvy bride. The quality of dresses far exceeds Davids Bridal and the other Tucson shops that I visited. Brook and the rest of the team are so talented and fun. My visit there with my friend was so perfect like a movie. I would never had pulled the dresses the Brook pulled and I loved each one. Of the 4 she grabbed one was my dream dress. My dress is being altered right now and multiple trips to Tempe is so worth it.
Looking online at wedding dresses terrified me. I didn’t like most of the styles that were popular and I didn’t feel like anything matched my personality. But Brooke found it for me. This was the first time I felt amazing in any dress and I can’t thank her enough for her kindness, her fun spirit, and her ability to make me comfortable enough to feel beautiful. Everyone at this salon was extraordinary. And I’m so happy to have found it!
I had a Thursday appointment to look at dresses and Ronnie was there to assist. She had a wealth of knowledge about the dresses and how to fix something that I would want for my personal taste. The appointment didnt feel rushed or pressured. They layout for the dresses (by style then pricing) made it easy to find what I was looking for and in my price point. There were many beautiful dresses, and I hit the jackpot with the 2nd dress I tried on (even though I tried 5 more dresses at least after). I cant wait for my dress to come in!!
Ronnie was an absolute treasure and picked out the most incredible dresses for me to try on. I was so nervous, but they took care of everything. We found the perfect dress for my upcoming wedding. I cant recommend them enough!
Extremely satisfied with my experience with Brooke at Struts Bridal. She went above and beyond to help find the perfect dress for my wedding day. She allowed me the opportunity to express my likes and dislikes and worked with me to ultimately find my perfect dress. I said YES to the dress and I have no regrets. I recommend this company not only for their beautiful, unique gowns that fit plenty of body sizes but their extremely sweet staff that makes you feel beautiful and important, and HEARD! 10/10 recommend.
I have had the pleasure of working with Brooke as my consultant! She is absolutely amazing! She met with me virtually first, and completely got my vision! When I was able to work with her in person for my appointment, it was like working with a friend I’ve known for years! She brought in a dress for me and it was the perfect dress! Every time I’ve gone in to Strut, Brooke has made me feel so comfortable and so gorgeous! If you get the chance to work with Brooke- you’ll be treated like the beautiful bride you deserve to be!
Kaylei was such a great help! Super sweet and helpful!
I had a wonderful experience with Ronnie. She was incredibly helpful and found me the perfect dress. I thought it would be so much harder but I was so comfortable with her. I would recommend anyone having self esteem issues with finding a wedding dress to go to Strut. You will find what you need in a variety of plus sizes.
AMAZIN EXPERIENCE!!!! We were welcomed with a personalized sign (super cute) and our attendant was extremely friendly and absolutely catered to us, she called ahead of time to confirm the appointment and to inquire of our preference of snacks and music for mood. she asked specific questions about the type of dress that I like and more specifically the mood I wanted to be in when I am wearing my dress. She constantly gave me feedback (super welcomed) and asked me for my feedback - she was so patient and was super personable with us. She was super detailed in costs and expenses and offered different avenues to save and different ideas - our next appointment is to meet with the seamstress and I am super excited! totally recommend Strut Bridal Tempe!!!!!
I loved strut! My bridal consultant Brooke was incredible. She helped me find my dress and made sure it was well within my budget! She made me feel so comfortable (Im a very uncomfortable person lol) and positive about my body and how I looked in my dress! Will definitely recommend to my friends ! Thank you brooke 🤗
Being a curvy bride who rarely wears dresses I was beyond nervous when thinking about the dress process. I found wonderful reviews of Strut Bridal through a Facebook page (AZ Bride to Be). I went down for an appointment with my large posse and was greeted by an incredible team. Ronnie and Sema’j are an unstoppable team. They made me feel like the most beautiful bride and helped me to step out of my shell to find the dress of my dreams, they had everyone in tears! Ronnie clearly knows what she’s doing as this was the very first dress she had me try on. She knew just how to style it and helped me fix up my hair so we could get the full effect. Sema’j added wonderful insight that helped me solidify my decision on saying yes to the dress! I will always recommend that people go to see Ronnie and Sema’j to be treated like a princess and to find the dress of their dreams! Thank you!🧡
From start to finish Brooke made my experience at Strut such a dream! I came in not knowing what I wanted at all and she was an excellent stylist and ultimately picked the dress I fell in life with! She hyped me up and was personable every minute. 10/10 recommend Strut to find the wedding dress of your dreams and ask for Brooke if you want a phenomenal shopping experience!
Brooke was absolutely wonderful! I called her to see if I could be a walk-in to find a wedding dress and she was so excited and told me she would find my dress today for my September wedding. She was so helpful and it shows that she loves what she does. Thank you for helping me find my wedding dress! I love it!
Absolutely enjoyed my experience at Strut Bridal. Brooke was amazing and very helpful. She made my wedding dress shopping experience wonderful! We laughed smiled and got me into many different dresses. Brooke took care of me and made me feel very important and special. I would definitely recommend visiting Strut Bridal.
Strut (and my stylist Brooke) was absolutely amazing!! They were recommended to me by a friend who bought her dress at the same place a few years ago. I’m so glad I listened to her. This experience was far beyond that of any other place I went. Thank you!!
Brooke was amazing! I hate dresses and I hate trying on clothes but that is part of getting married! Brooke made us feel very welcomed and comfortable from the moment we walked in until we left. She understood what I was looking for and put her expertise to work and of all the dresses that I tried on, I picked the one she pulled out for me that she thought I would love and I did! To top it off, she went above and beyond to make sure I got extra of what I wanted so that we could really make it a dream dress. I cannot wait to put it on! Thanks Brooke!
I wanted my plus size granddaughter to have a wonderful senior prom experience. Being a teenage girl, plus size and prom dress shopping is an emotional and stressful combination! I made a reservation after reading other reviews. We drove an hour across town and so glad we did! Right away, we were made to feel comfortable and that they would help my granddaughter find her prom dress that suited her. They promised she would have a dress no other girl at the prom was wearing! Boy did they deliver! Our little princess is beaming in her pictures, and she nailed the prom theme- Once upon a time Such a great experience.
I had got me in at the very last secondand it was so perfect I was really nervous and she was awesome at making me feel comfortable being a plus size woman its really hard to like go to places and they never have a size so you can wear or it makes you feel so fat because you have to put yourself in something thats so much smaller than you are and you cant get the full picture and you just feel so bad about yourself but here its that princess moment that you want and it was so perfect and I was so grateful for the time I had here
Ronnie was the absolute best. I didn’t have the best of experiences at other bridal salons because of my weight. But she made me feel beautiful and comfortable in my own skin. I found my dream dress for my dream day and I couldn’t be more grateful!!
Amazing job. Staff was awesome. Went for wedding dress and ended up with dresses for all the ladies!!!!Brooke was fabulous!!! Great job ladies!!
This is what dreams are made of! What an amazing team at Strut Bridal. From booking my first appointment to shipping my beautiful dress, Ronnie, my bridal consultant, was simply wonderful. Patient, knowledgeable, kind and friendly ~ Ms. Ronnie went above and beyond to ensure I got the right dress for my wedding. Special thanks to Brooke and Ann for their kindness and support.
LIFESAVER!My bridal party and I ended up at Strut on a Sunday afternoon after we had been disappointed by a wedding expo we had gone to earlier that morning. We received with open arms and without an appointment! I was treated like a princess and the stylist took the time to get to know what I really was looking for, even played our wedding song so I could really get in the moment. I tried on a few dresses until I had found “The One”, I was able to pay the deposit on the dress and set up payment plans. Unfortunately, COVID hit within the following month, wedding plans were postponed and changed (several times), medical issues arose and employments were lost - Strut was able to help with ALL of this. I was able to exchange my more traditional white wedding gown, for a more non traditional gorgeous ombré glitter gown, for our more laid back civil ceremony. The dress was perfect and was the talk of the town! Thank you Strut!
I am beyond thrilled that I found this bridal shop. Brooke was a fantastic help in my search to find a wedding dress that fit what I was dreaming in my head. She was incredibly attentive and funny and very sweet. My entire bridal party loved her and she understood our weirdness and humor. I have absolutely enjoyed my experience and have continued to enjoy my interactions with her and the staff by phone. I forsee that being the standard as my upcoming fittings and alterations are on the horizon.
I have never been to a bridal party dress fitting and felt so comfortable in my entire life!! Both girls were amazing, but Brooke really made us feel comfortable and was helpful in every way, it felt like she was a part of our group. Our bride had tried on many dresses from other shops but once we got here and felt like we found THE DRESS, Brooke made her feel even more comfortable about her decision by adding the perfect accessories. She was quick to respond to our jokes and made jokes with us and was just an all around amazing and fun consultant! Which is the way it should be. I highly recommend any bridal party to go here to help their bride find the perfect dress for their special day!!
Brooke was amazing!!! I’m so happy I found my dream dress, she made my experience fantastic!
I loved my experience at Strut Bridal! Ronnie helped me pick out the perfect dress. I had a 2 year long engagement and picked my dress out in the beginning. Right before I actually had to order it I was second guessing myself. Ronnie did not hesitate to put me in my dress again to reassure me of my decision. Anne hyped me up and made me feel gorgeous too! Finally, this past Saturday I picked my dress up and Brooke was the sweetest in making sure my dress was everything I envisioned. Thank you so much ladies!
It was such a choice to come here! Everyone from the stylist to the other brides stylist were so great and positive. I found my dress and im so glad to a Strut bride!
Seriously this place is the best! After a bad experience with another bridal shop i decided to try this place out. From the moment we walked in we knew it was different! Ronnie and her team welcomed us with open arms and lots of fun! They have different packages you can purchase for an experience and even though i didnt purchase one of those packages i still got treated the same! I showed ronnie 4 or 5 pics of the type of dresses i liked and she picked the best ones and the first one was my dress! I srill tried on 5 or 6 more just to be sure but i knew. She knew what to pair with each dress. She knewwhat i wanted and listened. I cannot express my gratitude enough about this place and ronnie! Thank you!
Thank you so much Brooke and Ronni for everything.
I had a great experience at Strut with Ronnie as my stylist. She was super helpful and friendly. I was dreading how painful the process could be but it was great and I recommend Strut. Thanks Ronnie! I love my dress !
Amazing place... Great people and they really know how to style you on your big day. Highly recommended!!
I had the best experience at Strut Bridal! Being a plus size girl, I was originally so nervous to think about finding my perfect wedding dress, especially during a pandemic where most places were closed for a period of time. I found Strut Bridal doing an online search and I am so glad that I did.At my appointment, I was able to have my mom, sister, and best friend to help with dress shopping.Brooke was my stylist for the day she was amazing! We were all able to go and look at the dresses and pick some for me to try on. I loved everything I put on, and Brooke helped by being so complimentary during the process. Ultimately, she picked out the dress that I ended up saying yes to. I cant wait to pick up my dress and wear it on my wedding day!Thank you Strut Bridal!!! 🥰👰🏻❤
By far the best bridal experience I’ve ever had! Brooke is the absolute best. She makes the entire appointment comfortable and empowering. We had so much fun!Even better, after a second appointment I chose the dress of my dreams! If you’re in the market for a dress, take the time to go to Strut!
Where do I start with Strut?!I came to strut after being defeated by David’s Bridal. I was just looking for an engagement dress at first, timid by all the beautiful gowns and how unsure I’d feel asking to find the one. I met Brooke and we clicked instantly! Seriously, she’s such a kind soul and made me feel beautiful when she didn’t even know me. She valued my time and listened to my wishes and wants, especially being a curvy woman. Low and behold, Miss Brooke pulled my princess pink ball gown and I fell in love! I found my gown and a few more to change throughout my night! I had my bridal party dress appointment and they were pampered and spoiled! I love this store and highly recommend it to my curvy queens! I love that they put up with my procrastinating self with ordering my dress last mins AND rushing it for my big day. 28 more days until my big day and I can’t wait to update this review with a beautiful gown pic! Thank you ladies!&& Thank you a million times over Brooke!****UPDATE****After picking up my 3 dresses, one of my dresses had a hole near the zipper which was pretty visible when worn, and when I called to see if anyone could help me I was pretty much told to find someone else to fix it because I lived too far. After spending over $2k for 3 dresses, I would at least think I’d get some kind of quick fix but instead I felt like once they had my money I was chop liver. Luckily I found someone to fix it and my oversized wedding dress. I also noticed that I was never featured on their social media for finding my dress. Like I mentioned I bought 3 dresses so I was excited to think I’d appear on their page like every other bride that finds their dress does. I even went as far as paying for their special bridal party champagne package and still nothing. It’s was really disappointing especially after spending so much money and being loyal.I did not get my dress altered with Strut, but my dresses were talk of the town in Vegas!
Absolutely loved our stylist Brooke she has the best personality and completely understood our bride squad. She knew exactly what we were looking for when discussing options, and was able to give us what we wanted down to the accessories. She made our experience with Strut not only memrible but helped our bride to be say Yes to the dress...
I had such a great experience with my girl Ronnie on the day I found my perfect dress. We talked about what I would love and she started pulling dresses. My friends and mom wanted to see me in something other than what I had in mind just to make sure it was what I didnt want. Ronnie was more than accommodating. I tried on about 6 dresses until I put on the last one and got that feeling in my gut telling me this is the one! I couldnt have asked for a better experience and it was all thanks to Ronnie! I cant wait to get my dress in October!
Krissy is AMAZING. Simple as that. She was unbelievably perfect when it came to a needing a consultant the day of my bridal appointment. Im sure anyone of the employees there could have been just as good, but I was more than fortunate to have Krissy that day. She knew, even before I walked out in THE DRESS...that it was the one. She saw it in my eyes. Being able to converse with an expert at my very first store and walking out knowing I could check this off my wedding list was satisfying. I came from California to Strut Bridal because I knew they would have what Id like and love. Never did I imagine I would get royal treatment while in there. I recommend Strut Bridal Tempe to anyone looking for exceptional service and gorgeous gowns. Youll even get the bonus treatment and feel your best when you request for Krissy! AMAZING bridal consultant. Im sure I thanked her a million times that day, but if not enough....THANK YOU!!
Found my dress for my wedding today! The staff was super helpful in finding my dress. I was helped by Tayelor and she was a super amazing staff member. The dresses were all beautiful and around my price range. Not only did I find my dress but we also found the bridesmaid dresses as well. I love this place!!!
I recently went to Strut to buy my wedding dress and had the pleasure of working with Brooke. She was such a great pleasure to work with. Brooke spent hours with me and helped me try on a lot of different dresses. She made sure I had the perfect dress and a pleasant experience. It is really hard to find people that have her level of customer service. She might be small but she has a plus size heart ❤️. I can’t say enough about her level of service. I am so happy I had the pleasure of working with her. I love my dress and my experience. Thanks Brooke 😘
I had an appointment there on September 9th. My best friend and MOH flew in from Florida and I brought my mom, nieces and sister-in-law with me. We had a blast! We loved the small personable salon and Ashlei who went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress. When talking with her she thought of a dress they just received and pulled out of a box that would be just what I was looking for. She asked the owner, who happened to be there that day if she could show me the dress. Thankfully she agreed because it was THE dress! I loved everything about it and am so thankful they allowed me the opportunity to see and try on the dress. They were so friendly and helpful with everything. I was able to cancel the other appointment I had set up that day and was so happy I did. We still went to the other location for my girls to find dresses and I noticed 2 brides next to each other trying on gowns....they had the exact same dresses on! It made me so happy I found my dress where I did. Thank you so much!
I HIGHLY recommend this store! I brought my bridesmaids here after a negative experience at another store which left my bridesmaids looking somewhat down and wondering if it’d be easier just to settle and purchase their dresses through Amazon. I went into the store asking for bridesmaids dresses...without an appointment! Krissy immediately took us to their bridesmaids dress and was very thorough and detailed with the information she provided and helped find bridesmaids dresses which would compliment the wedding dress I already bought. I was especially happy when I finally saw my bridesmaids smile! Krissy helped them realize how beautiful they truly are! We left the store excited about the dress they helped choose!
Both of my visits to Strut were amazing! My first visit was just to figure out what Strut had to offer before their sample sale. I did not expect the find the dress that day! I have never been one to have my dream dress but I was able to find all the random pieces in one dress! It even has pockets and fits perfectly! Yay for a sample dress that doesnt need alterations, just a little bit of fixing.Brooke was amazing when my little visit to just see what they had to offer ended up being the visit that didnt have my twin sister (MoH) there helping me and she witnessed the FaceTime meltdown of my MoH. She told me to bring my twin for another appointment. Due to my twin having to be admitted to the hospital for Covid, my mother came to help and both of them were able to see the dress first hand last week once she was able to come home! We were even able to get my sisters oxygen machine plugged in so we didnt have to stress about cutting the appointment short! My mom and twin had a great time picking out my hair piece and veil and getting an idea of what bridesmaid dresses were available! We will be back with one of my bridesmaids and my MOH once she is off of the oxygen and has enough strength to try on dresses! Brooke went out of her way to find out what bridal stores in Michigan offer the same line of bridesmaids dresses so that the other 2 can try on samples! Definitely will recommend Strut in the future!
I loveeeed my experience at Strut. After having a not so fun experience at another store, I was a little nervous coming in but Brooke was AMAZING. She knew exactly when to suggest trying on dresses when I started getting overwhelmed by my mom, MIL and best friend all picking out dresses. She’s selected a few we had picked but suggested I try on one she selected first even though it was wayyyy opposite from what I’d pictured. After trying on 4 other dresses, I was comparing all of them the that one so we put it back on and I just knew.. it was MY dress. I’m so appreciative to Brooke for knowing how to calm me down, being fun and encouraging and helping me step outside my comfort zone to find the dress of my dreams. Thank you thank you..
Strut Bridal is absolutely amazing! Brooke was so sweet and she took her time with me and getting to know my style. Thanks to her I found an amazing dress that I’m in love with! Thank you Brooke!
I bought my dress this weekend at Strut. All of their dresses looked great and it was such a hard decision, but I finally found the one! I worked with Krissy and she was great! Asked great questions so that she could get an idea of what I was looking for. She made the process both seamless and fun for me and my party. I had to drive a little way and passed up many bridal shops to get there, but if you are a curvy bride it’s completely worth it.
This place is amazing! Highly recommend to anyone who needs a dress for a special day. The staff is very attentive and explains everything to you. There’s no hidden fees or anything like that. Everything went very smoothly with picking out a style, color, planning the order, and the tailoring. They took care of everything! Wonderful place!
To preface, Krissy (bridal consultant) is PHENOMENAL! She made me feel amazing and truly cares about her brides - she’s the only reason I’m rating this 2 stars instead of 1.With that said, Strut Bridal has horrific business practices and quite honestly, it’s insulting to plus size brides everywhere. To go into more detail, they absolutely 100% price gouge their brides all because they’re catering to plus sized women. Here’s some background: I designed my own gown elsewhere that I had to return due to it being made incorrectly. Because of this, I wanted to purchase a gown off their rack since my wedding is 2 1/2 months away. They wanted to charge me SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS (their typical asking price for this dress) for the SAMPLE DRESS FROM A SPRING 2017 COLLECTION that many people have tried on, even after I told them that another boutique in the valley would order the same exact dress, BRAND NEW, for $989. They refused to meet me at that lower price for, once again, a sample dress off the rack. This entire conversation happened after I made $100 deposit that they now refuse to refund and refuse to let me apply to another in-store purchase (such as a veil). Although the consultants are amazing and treat their brides well, their hands are tied when it comes to business decisions such as this. We ran this all through the owner themselves and they still wouldn’t budge. My advice would be to try dresses on here to know how they fit you and then purchase your actual dress elsewhere...
I had an amazing appointment! Ronnie helped me feel comfortable and made my appointment special. This was my first and only time that I tried on wedding dresses and I am so happy I found this store. Being a lady that is Not a size zero I was so happy to go into the store and fit into the dresses on the rack. The experience was amazing and I found my dream dress!! I would definitely recommend this store 😁👰🏻
I had a really great experience at Strut! I went in with my mom and MOH for the black Friday sample sale and found the perfect dress. It can already be so exhausting and frustrating to shop for dresses as a plus- size bride, but my experience as a whole was even harder because I had ordered a dress elsewhere last February and it never came. In a panic, I made the appointment at Strut knowing that if I didnt get a sample dress there, my options would be very limited as my wedding is only three months away. Krissy made the experience so much fun and just wiped all that stress away! She was super supportive and really helped me make that final decision on the dress of my dreams. She even played a special song as I made the final decision. I felt good about my body, good about my dress, and I got to take the dress home that day.... no more waiting on something that was never going to come! Big thank you to Krissy and the staff at Strut for being so kind and listening genuinely to my thoughts and concerns. You are all so amazing and I cant thank you enough!
I bought my dress here! I loved my consultant, the service and selection were excellent, and there wasnt a huge markup like I was expecting (so many places charge extra for plus sizes). I actually ended up buying from their prom dress selection, but both their special occasion dresses and wedding dresses were gorgeous.
Booked an appointment for my sister and she got an incredibly beautiful dress for her wedding next February. They have stunning dresses for great prices! Thanks for everything!
I have NEVER had a more pleasurable experience purchasing ANY piece of clothing IN MY LIFE (I am 53). I was very nervous because I am a size 20 and was readying myself for a humiliating and uncomfortable experience. From the moment my fiancee & I walked in the store we immediately felt comfortable. My fiancee was a little concerned as our stylist Brooke Hernandez was a petite woman & thought maybe she wasnt going to get it. But WOW were we wrong. She helped us pick out several gowns (I was nervous about being an OLDER bride too which see calmed) and came into the fitting room with me. At first I was hesitant tostrip down but again, immediately, Brooke made me feel at ease. She fitted me into a bustier and then got me into every gown we picked out. I felt like a queen! And I said yes to the dress within 1 hour. Thank you, thank you, thank you Brooke and Strut Bridal Salon. I am so happy with my purchase & cant wait to walk towards my fiancee wearing it.
A few weeks ago I scheduled an appointment at Strut bridal to look at wedding dresses. I was assisted by Krissy for my dress adventure. Krissy did an amazing job making sure I was comfortable and confident. She helped me try on several dresses and eventually I found the one. Krissy was super helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend Strut bridal and Krissy as a stylist.
I went to Strut in early May to just look at dresses. My maid of honor was in town, so I thought we would just go take a peak. I never thought I would find my dress in the first shop I stopped at. Brooke helped me and made me instantly feel at ease. I am plus size, and HATE trying anything on. She never made me feel Uncomfortable. I tried on a couple dresses until I found the “one.” I was instantly smitten, but still wanted to keep trying. Eventually I ended back at my favorite dress and Brooke put my hair up, put a veil on, and even played our first dance song while I showed my family and friends the dress round 2! She has been only a phone call away during this whole process, is quick to respond and work around my schedule. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Terrible experience. Went in looking for plus size bridal gown. Selection is nice, but the staff is very pushy. Told me that if I put 25% down on the dress that I liked I could hold their promotional offer for “first time shoppers” of a 20% discount and that if I decided not to get the dress I could use the money toward other dresses or accessories. Without that option to use the money for other items I would have NEVER put $400 down. I ended up finding another dress that I liked more at another salon and now they are saying that I can’t use the money and have “abandoned” my payment. Didn’t give me any options to use as store credit, even a part of it. They never ordered the dress (since you have to put 50% down to order the dress) so they didn’t pay anything for shipping, restocking, holding, or removing the dress from the stock (I understand that this would warrant fees, but no, nothing was ever ordered on my behalf). They basically stole my money and said oh well you signed a contract. I’d be willing to work with them for a percentage store credit, but they had no interest in doing that.I feel like they capitalize on the insecurities of plus size women, knowing they are nervous about wedding dress shopping, then pressure them into making purchases under the guise of “now or never” discounts, then lock you in to limiting contracts with vague language that are meant to protect themselves. Avoid the high pressure sales and inflexible “contract” buying and head to another store. They are not the only plus size salon in town.
Wonderful location. Excellent service!!! So caring, kind and personable. Beautiful gowns. Thank you!!!!
I cannot rave enough about Strut Bridal Salon! After trying on countless dresses at other stores and not having nearly as pleasant of an experience, we went to Strut as our last stop of the day. Thank goodness we did, because I found my dream dress all thanks to my amazing stylist, Brooke! The process was effortless throughout and my group and I had such a fun and positive experience! I can’t wait to strut my stuff (pun intended) on my wedding day! Thank you so much!
Went to Strut bridal to look for my vowel renewal and i was not disappointed. The staff is very friendly and go above and beyond to make you happy. My stylist was Krissy and she was awesome. I told Krissy what i was looking for and i was able to say yes to my dress. If youre a full figured or curvy woman i highly recommend Strut Bridal for your dress.
Ronnie was a gem to work with! She truly helped make this experience one that I wont forget! I am not one to LOVE dress shopping, but she was real and made me feel comfortable and knew how to help find the perfect dress and styles after taking the time to get to know me a little bit! I loved her vibe! Thanks again!! ❤👰
I loved my experience at strut bridal!! So nice and so accommodating. This was my first experience dress shopping and Brooke was the best! She listened to me and made sure I got exactly what I wanted I would highly recommend going here and working with Brooke!!
My experience here was great! I highly recommend them when shopping for your dream dress! Brooke was my stylist & she was absolutely AMAZING! Thank you Brooke for helping me find my dream dress & being so patient with me! ❤️👰❤️
I bought my dress from Krissy recently and she was incredible. First of all— I’m not used to walking into a store and knowing that anything off the rack will fit me. I’d previously gone to David’s Bridal and had to do a ton of guess work about what my size would actually look like on me and if there would be a way to modify it to give me enough support. I walked into Strut and everything was built with a body like mine in mind, which was a game changer. I bought a dress on my first visit and had immediate regrets that I’d bought the wrong dress. I called Krissy right away and she got me back in the same week to find the dress of my dreams. She made time for me and was so reassuring that we’d make it work. She was a dream to work with and found me my perfect dress within my budget. I’m so excited for it to come in now!
When I was in high school I got my senior prom dress from Strut. Not only was that dress beautiful but the staff made me feel like a million dollars. When I got engaged four years later (to my high school prom date) I knew there was only one place to go. Immediately I was welcomed and remembered! The whole experience was very catered to what I wanted. Anne and Helen helped me find my perfect gown and helped me feel like a bride. I wish every clothes shopping experience would be close to the excellent service I received here.
I literally dont know why people are trashing my girl Brooke on here. I just purchased my dress from here literally a few minutes ago and I cannot rave about the experience enough. I felt comfortable, beautiful, and important. She listened to me and did not try to push me into anything. I cannot wait to be a Strut Bride on my special day!
Brooke was so helpful and really made the experience feel less stressful. She was knowledgeable and attentive, she had great taste in bringing the styles I was interested in. Im very happy with the dress I got and would recommend this place to anyone. Especially if you are worried about finding something that will fit . 😁
Had a great experience, Brooke was kind and helpful and I found my dress on the very first one I tried on and it was even on sale!
Wasnt there for my fiance to pick the dress but Brook was super enthusiastic with her. Was very excited to help her and they found the perfect dress (I still havent seen it but looking forward to it)
I purchased my gown from Strut and I couldnt be more pleased. Krissy held my hand from start to the finish line. She made everything so easy for me, she understood my needs and she my dream dress become a reality. I was of course on a time crunch like always, and she made sure my dress arrived quickly to allow time for alterations. She found additional material that matched perfectly to add sleeves to my gown. Krissy kept in the loop with anything and everything related to my dress and optional services that were related to my wedding. I just recently went back shortly before closing, I was in the need of a bra. Krissy once again went above and beyond for me and helped me choose and try on the bra. My bridal swag is on point literally all thanks to her. I will be sending you pics of the big day so you can see how beautiful it came out. Thank you again Krissy, you killed the look :) Heidi
I had such an amazing experience here picking out my wedding dress. They are all really sweet and Ronnie treated me so well. She was so helpful and made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend this place.
Ronnie is everything.... she took such amazing care of me from dress buying to my wedding day. This shop is fantastic and I highly recommend it. First off being able to go to a place that has beautiful dresses and they are all your size and you can try them all on cause they will fit is a feeling that is hard to Express but if you have that challenge then you get it. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Great service, great selection, just an overall great experience.After trying on gowns at another shop in the area I was a little disappointed that I could not even begin to fit most of the samples; it left me feeling well a bit frustrated and shy about wanting to try gowns on again. Thank goodness I was referred to Strut my bridal consultant Ronnie made me feel comfortable and really listened to my desires. Being able to to really try on a dress and imagine yourself walking down the aisle is so worth the experience. Ladies if you have curves and are not a sample size do yourself a favor and head to Strut, I promise the experience will be worth it.
Wonderful experience from start to finish! Strut really made being curvy a non-issue in wedding dress shopping and all the staff have just been wonderful especially Jewels and Chandler. They helped me video chat with my out of town family during the first appointment and helped take photos. At the final pick up no one was in the store so I had the time to put the dress back on and just be showered in compliments. My experience was just above and beyond anything I expected in trying to find a plus size dress. Love these gals!
My day of dress shopping started rough. Uninterested employees, feeling shoved to the side because of my size, etc. By the time we walked in to Strut I was ready to throw in the towel.Thank you, so much, ladies. You made me feel so so special. I found a dress in my price range WITHOUT having to settle over my size. You made me feel like a beautiful bride. All of your patience, enthusiasm, and creativity turned my day totally around. I hope you know how much impact you have on your customers. This was a wonderful day.
My sister had the best experience here. First of all her consultant Brooke was so awesome she pulled whatever dresses my sister wanted, listened to her wants, was able to then meet my sisters wants, and honestly made the entire day about my sister. The selection of wedding gowns was amazing and all of them were beautiful. You could definitely walk in and find your perfect dress. If you want a first class experience then go see Brooke at Strut.
I don’t even know where to begin if I could give more then 5 stars I absolutely would! They are amazing I am so glad to have found this bridal shop I ran into a few issues and both Ronnie and Brooke worked very hard and very quickly to help me figure things out and still get my dream dress. Thank you so very much for everything!!! ❤️😁
The BEST place for bridal attire, especially for curvy brides. How amazing this place is and how grateful I feel for finding this place! I loved my experience and I have never had a better shopping experience, ever. My family came with me to the VIB appointment and Ronnie was seriously amazing and knew exactly what I was looking for! We had snacks and bubbly and just enjoyed each others company while looking for the dress. I ended up finding a wonderful dress and I said YES thanks to the great staff at Strut. Also, I was so nervous to even book and Strut owner Ann was so amazing and helpful over the phone. She reassured me that I would find something that would fit my body type and my budget and she was right! Thanks again, Strut!
Great selection and amazing staff! Ronnie is by far the best! She makes you feel welcome and knows your style after spending a short time with you. Highly recommend!
Everything about Strut has been an absolute dream! Their staff is welcoming and extremely knowledgeable of their inventory, and their selection of dresses is so much more varied than any other place I visited. Looking for a dress was very overwhelming for me, and they made it so much easier. AND it was wonderful to have dresses to try on that I didnt have to be squeezed into, or wonder if anything was available in my size. I absolutely recommend Strut to anyone size 12 and up, you wont be disappointed!
This wasnt my 1st time here, and it definitely will not be my last. I came here looking for my dream wedding dress, and thanks to Ronnies help I found it. I had already been to a couple of bridal salons, and just wasnt able to find a dress that I was looking for. It didnt help that the selection of tea length bridal dresses in a plus size was minimal if not non existent at many of the stores. Coming in to Strut was a breath of fresh, plus size dress air. Tons of selections, styles, lengths, and sizes. My consultant was another breath of fresh air. In other shops I was either lumped in with 5 other brides while the consultant ran back-and-forth between us, or had overly expensive dresses pushed in my face that were nothing like what I wanted so that they could make a sweet commission. At Strut, I had the lovely Ms. Ronnie. She listen to what I wanted, made helpful suggestions, switched tactics when she brought me something I wasnt a fan of, and literally ripped her own petticoat off so I could see how the dress would look. Ronnie is so skilled at her job that as 100% sure as I was in the exact style of dress that I wanted... I ended up with something COMPLETELY different and was crying when I saw my reflection. My bridesmaids all purchased their dresses here as well, and while there was an issue with the dresses, it was fixed quickly and efficiently and my bridesmaids are actually happier now. :D
After spending the whole day searching for a wedding dress and finding nothing, I was just about to give up on finding one until, I contacted Strut Bridal Salon in Tempe, AZ and they were so excited to help me. They took me in with no appointment and was destined to help me turn my day around and make my dream dress come true.Once I arrived to the bridal shop the greeting was impeccable and the vibe was nothing like the previous shops I had visited earlier in the day. My bridal consultant was Hannah and her customer service was impeccable. Hannah not only took the time to get to know me and understand my vision she fitted right in with my crew and it was like family.I was so impressed the first dress she put me in blew me away and was everything I ever wanted. Hannah has a true eye for fashion and knows how to connect with the Brides. I would defiantly recommend Strut Bridal Salon, for all your wedding party needs from Brides, bridesmaid and mother of the bride attire. A++++++++
I made a one hour trip across town to Strut Bridal for a strut your stuff appointment I just wanted to see what style of dress looked good on my body & came out with the most beautiful wedding gown ever! I was assisted by Krissy she was awesome and made me feel very comfortable. She showed me dresses in and under my budget first and even hesitated on showing my a dress above my budget which I really appreciate because It didnt feel like she was trying to sell me. & OFCOURSE THAT WAS THE DRESS lol. I am so glad to have found my dress at strut it was my only stop and I am very pleased with my wedding dress shopping experience! I have already referred another friend to strut since my appointment & will continue to recommend them to others in the future.
Came as the maid of honor for my best friend on her first shopping experience for a wedding dress. She was nervous, anxious, and a little bit dreading how the overall experience was going to go, but from the moment she called to make an appointment the owner Anne was, in my friend’s words, an absolute angel. My friend described this phone call as half business, half therapy, and hung up excited and exhilarated to come to the appointment. Flash forward to the day of and our consultant, Ronnie, was INCREDIBLE. Professional, informative, helpful, sooo friendly and personable. She assured us that this was going to be the day we found the dress, and sure enough we did! Basically every dress my friend tried on was great and better than the last. But when we found The One, we knew. Thank you so much to the whole staff of this store for helping make this day so special. It’s no wonder you’ve been in business for 10 years! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Can’t recommend this place enough.
Thank you again Strut Bridal for a wonderful experience tonight while shopping for my Best Ladys (we dont like the Matron of Honor title) dress. Angel was so much fun to work with and she really made both of us feel like it was a special event. I loved the experience shopping for my wedding dress and tonight was the cherry on icing of the cake of my wedding experience. My wedding in June in Hawaii will be a wonderful moment for us and having the perfect dresses will make it even more special. Thanks again! I have a feeling I will be back for a special occasion dress very soon.
I was hesitant when I met our consultant Brooke (shes tiny, petite wasnt sure shed understand my body and how I felt about myself) but she was AMAZING! She was very positive, energetic, super helpful and full of compliments. Anything I didnt like in a dress she had a solution for it. She worked really hard in helping me find the perfect dress. I did fall in love with a couple dresses but they were a little over my budget so hopefully I can be back to decide on one and make a purchase. The other ladies in the shop were also very sweet. I gave 4 stars because I did feel a bit pressured to decide on a dress and put money down. But overall it was a great experience.
