Highly recommend for any east coast bride!

Great views, great location, great vibes and great selection!! Felt like a very personal, intimate experience - had the whole place to myself and 2 guests. Couldn’t recommend more for my fellow east coast brides (or west coast if you’re visiting the Philly area)!!

Don't Sleep on this UNMATCHED Bridal Boutique!

I chose Kinfolk for one of my bridal appointments because it aligned with my values of sustainability, diversity, and inclusion, and after attending the appointment I can confirm it truly does embody those attributes! Mayana not only has the most thoughtful appointment questionnaire (right down to the music you want to listen to), but she has thought of everything - inclusive sizing (and also not focusing on sizing at all), unique designers, a perfectly lit, gorgeous, yet cozy setting... seriously, she sets the standard for bridal shopping. None of my other appointments rose to her level, and on top of it all she is a lovely person. Do yourself a favor and book your dress shopping with Kinfolk!!

Philly Brides' Dream

Kinfolk Bride is the perfect place for Philly brides who have a Philly spirit. I ended up there on the recommendation of another area bridal salon and was counting down the days until my appointment after I saw their dresses on their website! I knew it was the place for me. My expectations were met completely -- from the ambiance, to the service, to the experience, to finding my dress! Mayana was amazing and real -- there for it all and to fill in any question, gap or idea with something that was in line with my vision (old Hollywood meets east coast/Philadelphia edge) I ended up in a THE LAW gown and was able to meet the designer who was right next door. I didn't want to leave or take my ensemble off. Can't wait to be back for future appointments.
