The Collection is the absolute dream store to find your dress! When you picture the perfect wedding dress store, THIS IS IT! The gowns are gorgeous... they can be pricy since there are designer gowns but they also have ones that are more reasonable. The accessories there are BEAUTIFUL as well! We bought my dress, the bridesmaids dresses, flowergirl dresses, MOB dress, and accessories from here. Highly recommend!

The collection made my Wedding Gown experience absolutely perfect, I couldn't have asked for better service. The manager, Roya, is such a sweet heart she helped us with everything and if anything was off she made sure it got fixed. Also the lady that alters the Gowns is very nice but even better she made my Gown perfect, I believe her name was Luz. Even the receptionist Stephanie is so nice and sweet, we would always be running late but she was always so nice and understanding. I truly am grateful for all they did for me.

I have had past dealings with THE COLLECTION for other weddings I have participated in. When I finally got engaged, I knew it would be one of the stores I would consider for my wedding dress. I made a trip to the store with my mom, expecting to "begin" the process and see what was out there for wedding dresses. But on that first shopping trip, I surprisingly found my wedding dress and it was smooth sailing from then on. I have to tell you that the customer service at THE COLLECTION has greatly increased and it is single-handedly due to them bringing on "Mimi" as a consultant. She is AMAZING!!! She also respects a bride's pricerange and doesn't try to upsell you anything you can't afford. At first, I wasn't liking any dresses I was trying on, but then Mimi pulled a dress and had a "vision" for how we could alter and customize it. She said "trust me" and I definitely did. We ended up taking off the satin belt and replacing it with a beautiful crystal encrusted belt that was a showstopper. We also ordered extra fabric and added removable straps so I was covered for the church ceremony. Mimi also suggested an amazing extremely long and detailed veil, which just topped off the overall look. And last of all, some amazing larger pearl and crystal dangle earrings. Ordering the dress and paying for the dress and accessories was simple and we had no problems with everything arriving on time. I was also able to have my alterations done in the store and I thought the pricing was a good value. Overall, I was able to get an amazing custom dress, while staying in my budget. Mimi helps dress brides from head-to-toe and that is what makes the difference. She concentrates on an entire "look" for your wedding day. Her customer service and responsiveness is amazing and you can tell she loves what she does and loves all of her brides. I would say that THE COLLECTION used to be a good store, but now it is a GREAT store because of Mimi. Brides-to-be you will not be dissapointed!

I went into my bridal appointment wanting to try on 4 specific dresses. The Collection ordered the samples ahead of time so that they were in stock. Everyone was so friendly and I can't say enough about how beautiful the alterations turned out!!

I found my dream dress at The Collection in Winter Park.I had 2 weeks to get it cleaned, completely altered and fitted, and ready to go! The Ladies at The Collection made this happen and I am so appreciative as I was heading overseas to Australia until my upcoming wedding in Hawaii. I truly felt like a Bride at the Collection and fell in love with my dress!

The wedding starts with the dress and the dress starts and ends with The Collection. I found my gown during a Monique Lhuillier trunk show and for the entire year that my gown was being created, shipped, and fitted, their service was exemplary. The Collection even fit my dress perfectly all in one day because I was coming from out of town. The gown and the staff are a dream!

Wow The Collection was amazing! I loved my shopping experiance with Roya and she truly made me feel like a bride. I was allowed to tweak my dress a little bit from the sample that I tried on which allowed me to order my dream dress, however; the thing that impressed me most of all was that a week prior to my wedding I tried on my dress and realized I had lost too much weight from my last fitting and the dress no longer fit (a good problem to have but still a problem). I called The Collection and they told me they were clearing their schedule and to just bring it in and they would make it work. I brought it in 3 days before my wedding on my drive up to my wedding venue and they had me in and out with a perfectly altered dress in an hour and a half - wow talk about service!

They have a beautiful selection of gowns, they will negotiate the price (found same dress not 3 blocks away for $600 less/ they gave me the dress for less) BUT, with everything going on in my life with the wedding and my career change, they never called me to remind me of when fittings needed to be scheduled (i live 2 hours away!) and if I would try and call them, i would leave a message and not hear back for weeks! Eventually i stopped leaving messages and just continued to call until someone answered. Plus, they charged me $329 for alterations and all they did was hem the bottom of the gown and add a bustle! way over priced- that and my veil was $300!!

This is a great shop if you are looking for a designer wedding dress. All the ladies made my experience great! They were very nice and helpful with everything. They steamed my dress and vial perfectly and left me with great memories! Very happy I purchased my dress from this shop.

The only reason I bought my dress here is because I fell in love with THE DRESS and could not find it anywhere else. I thought they were very unprofessional. When I picked up my veil there were holes in it and they told me they would send it out and fix it. Over a month later after not hearing from them I stopped by to pick it up and they had it wrapped up in a bag and told me it had been fixed. I decided to check before I left the store and the holes were still there. They had never sent it out to be repaired. I ended up taking my dress to be altered at another place since I had lost all confidence in them.

I live out of town and I had to change my appointment a few times. They did change it with no problems . They alter and press my Wedding dress, and I have my pictures to remind me that I have made an excelent choice to buy my dress from The collection. Every bride who wants to have an great experience finding her dream dress and great service should visit The Collectin Bridal first.

I was lucky to find a red wedding dress at this store. It was the only one they had... but it was "the one" when I tried it on. The dress was on sale, so the price was as reasonable as you can expect for a wedding dress. The alterations department was great, though perhaps a little pricey. I guess the only complaint I could have is some difficulty in communicating (especially since I live 2 hours away), and that's probably based on a little bit of a "snooty" approach. I think it's just part of the culture in the store - which I saw in many bridal stores anyways, so it's not unique or really that big of a deal.I was also frustrated because I was told by one associate that it was not possible to bustle the dress ... but, once I got it after my final fitting (and only a week until my wedding)... and was desperate for a bustle... I was told it was no problem at all to add. A little bit of an unnecessary frustration that could have been eliminated by not trying to rush me out the door the first time I asked, and we could have done the addition right away..... or if the associate would have just checked with alterations rather than just answering the question.... - but, eh, all in all, I got a great dress.
