    2 weeings in one year!

    Sitting here on a lazy Sunday watching Say Yes to the Dress, and feeling compelled to leave a review. I have had two, yes, two daughters get married within the same year! Lara’s has been amazing in helping my girls make their dreams turn into reality. They have very different personalities, dreams and ideas of the perfect gown, and Lara’s has come through both times. In addition to finding the perfect gowns, Lara’s has made special accommodations for this out of town mom to make sure I could be part of these special days. Fittings and alterations were easy and seamless, and we have one perfect wedding day in the books and are looking forward to the second! Visit this shop, and meet the accommodating ladies that make it a special place to help you find the perfect dream gown. I just wish I lived closer so they could help with my mother of the bride look!

    I had an amazing experience here.... Summer was such a great help with my wedding dress... I didn't have a lot of money to spend either... she found a dress for me in my price range and didn't treat me any different then if she would have had a 4000 sell...

    I had a great time picking out my wedding dress! Even though there were a couple of other brides doing the same, I felt like the only one in the room. My dress was ordered and very prompt to arrive. And alterations were equally as easy!

    If you can't make an appointment during the week, going on a saturday when they first open is perfect timing. They are expanding their store, so there will be lots of room for you to try on dresses and enjoy the moment!

    These gals really cater to your style! They will find you something beautiful while respecting your budget. I also purchased earrings, a veil and shoes here. My bridesmaid dresses also came from Lara's!

    Nicole, the girl my mother and I worked with was fabulous! She has had years working with prom and wedding dresses and you could tell she knew her stuff. She was very helpful and tentative! I highly recommend them!

    Good experience!

    Lara's has something for everyone. I was able to find something off of the rack that was still unique. They have all sizes, even for us on the larger side of life. The ladies were helpful and didn't judge size, color, or style.

    The staff were friendly and got my dress fitted, altered, and steamed super fast. My only complaint is that they wouldn’t let me exchange a pair of earrings. I understand they have a no return or exchange policy but I thought I would check anyways. What upset me is that one lady told me “Oh yeah, I’m sure we can exchange those, no problem” and went to check with another lady who flat out said “no.” If there is a strict no return/exchange policy, why would she initially tell me they could probably do it? That makes me think they probably do exchanges for some people. I wanted to exchange them for a pair that were $40 less than what I paid and even agreed to let them keep the difference! Bottom line is I didn’t get to wear them (they were super uncomfortable) and wasted 80 bucks. However, my dress was beautiful and fit perfectly so that’s what really matters!

    Not the greatest overall experience

    I had a great experience finding my wedding dress. Summer helped me and was truly amazing to work with. I took my bridesmaids down to find their dresses and the experience was not great. No one came to assist us, we had to ask for help. My alterations experience was a complete nightmare. The lady doing alterations would say things would be done and they were not which made more trips down and back which was over an hour for me and 5hrs round trip for my family.. I got married with pins still in my dress...granted they were hidden under the dress, but still.who wants an unfinished dress on their wedding day. The necklace I purchased from there turned my skin green. Lara’s is a great place to find a dress but I would not get alterations done there or take my bridesmaids to find a dress there.

    Lara's sucks. My sister's wedding is on the 15th and still her dress is not finished and neither is mine. Every time we call about something it is always a different answer. They are rude and inconsiderate. The old lady that does the altercations has had my dress now well over a month and still not done. Not to mention she is outrageous in price. I have had other people tell me as well they will never go back. My family and I will never go back. Some people may have a good experience with them but not us.

    Very, very rude workers. All bridesmaids dresses were the wrong sizes and the wedding dress was way too big. The owner told us, and I quote "good luck finding someone who can fix them in a week."
