what our brides are saying about rare...
“finding my dress was the one task in wedding planning that I was hesitant about. being plus sized I was afraid of what this experience might look like but finding rare bridal bar was such a saving grace! it says it right in the name - it is RARE - the selection, experience, and level of care were all top notch. emily was so knowledgeable and patient with me, such an angel! I cannot recommend it enough: ALL PLUS SIZED BRIDES NEED TO START THEIR SEARCH AT RARE!!

“I cannot put into words how fantastic this business is, and how uplifting the women who work for it are. I saw the french blue dress on a model with a similar body to mine and my heart stopped. I immediately messaged the team and asked if it was available for order. the rare bridal team went above and beyond to get me this gown. when I told people I bought a dress and never tried it on, they thought I was insane. it arrived just in time for my wedding and fit like a dream. it was a show stopper. the amount of people who have said this is their favorite dress they’ve ever seen is wild. so many people comment “I have never seen a dress like this.” this dress gave me a perfectly unique bridal moment. thank you to the rare bridal team, I am a forever grateful.”

“dress shopping was part of the wedding planning process I was really dreading. as a plus size bride, it’s not easy to find a shop that feels fun, inclusive, and has dresses in a range of sizes. enter rare bridal bar. from start to finish, rare was exceptional. they answered all of my questions before arriving and made me excited before I even stepped foot into the space. walking in felt like the dress store of my dreams that I never thought I would see in person. the space is stunning, the staff are so lovely, and the whole experience is what every bride should get. my stylist, tajma, was incredibly sweet and picked the perfect dresses. it feels vulnerable to have someone you just met get you in and out of wedding gowns but she made me feel at ease the whole time. I picked my dress yesterday and I can’t wait to go back to rare and pick her up. if you are a plus size bride, rare bridal bar is the dress shopping experience everyone deserves for their wedding.”
