Urban Set Bride

Urban Set came highly recommended by my wedding planner and honestly, I could not have asked for a more perfect experience or wedding dress! This store has a gorgeous selection of dresses in wearable sample sizes that are very reasonably priced. Jennifer made me and my mom feel like family which made for a laid back and enjoyable time. By the end, I had narrowed it down to two dresses and Jennifer told me to go home over the weekend and think about it! No pressure! Not what I expected to happen at all. BIG thank you to Christine and Jennifer. you girls are the bomb!

I found my perfect dress here! This is the first place I shopped. I went to another shop but Urban Set Bride was by far a much better experience! The prices are reasonable and the selection was outstanding. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. These ladies ROCK! I highly recommend them!

While I didn’t end up finding my dress here, I am SO glad that my first appointment was with Christine. She was so great – she really helped me figure out what styles worked well on my body and was able to give me so much information that helped me later on to find my dream dress. The shop itself is beautiful and I loved being the only bride in the whole shop.

I had a wonderful experience at urban set. The ladies that work there didn’t make me feel rushed at all. She picked out a dress that I would never thought I would like but I ended up saying yes to the dress ! Thank you for everything you guys.

What a wonderful, pleasant experience! Everything about Urban Set Bride is charming, beautiful, and elegant. Jennifer is so genuine in her work! She knew exactly what I was thinking in terms of which styles I liked the most, and helped me pick out dresses based on my preferences and body type. I was worried that trying on wedding dresses would be stressful, since I know very little about various dress styles etc. But Jennifer turned this into such an enjoyable, memorable experience! This has been my absolute favorite part of wedding planning so far! There’s truly something for every woman at Urban Set. I will certainly be recommending this lovely bridal boutique to everyone in the market for a wedding dress.

Urban Set Bride was everything I thought it would be & more! Christine was so welcoming and knowledgeable and after 90 minutes with her I really felt like I had known her forever. She made trying on dresses a dream! I never felt pressured to like any particular style of dress and I really felt like she wanted to cater everything to me. She never input her opinion unless I asked for it and even though this was the very first bridal salon I went to and I found my dress on my first appointment, Christine still encouraged me to go home and think about it. Urban Set Bride isn’t all about the money, they’re really about the experience and I’m so thankful I found them on the Knot! So if you’re a bride that wants a warm, comfortable experience with a great price tag and beautiful dresses… GO TO URBAN SET BRIDE!

Christine and her mom are so wonderful. I had my first dress shopping experience in their charming shop in Church Hill and worked with Jennifer who was as hands-​on or off as we needed her to be! She didn’t pressure me into anything and made it a breeze to enjoy the experience. I was not rushed into or out of any dresses and I felt calm. These ladies make you feel important. I would definitely recommend Urban Set for any gal in need of a wedding dress or bridesmaid dresses!

These ladies are the best. Christine made me feel so comfortable so quickly, and because they only schedule one appointment at a time, she was focused completely on helping me find a dress. She was very in tune with what I liked and didn’t like, and I ended up loving the first dress she picked out for me! I wasn’t actually prepared to buy a dress that day, and I didn’t feel pressured at all. I came back a few weeks later with my family, and she was such a huge help again. She didn’t pressure me to buy a veil, but she did convince me to leave the train– both of which I really appreciate. The whole experience felt like shopping with a really knowledgable friend. I love my dress, and I’m so glad I found Urban Set Bride!

This place is the bees’ knees! The service is excellent, the owners are awesome, and they put up with my family — these gals win! Really great selections, very helpful — you won’t be disappointed!

I drove down from DC to check out Urban Set Bride and I loved my experience! It’s a small design house feel and they can customize practically anything you can dream up. They have a great selection for brides of all styles and the team there is a TON of fun. Definitely check it out if you’re in the Richmond area!

I was lucky enough to visit Urban Set bridal first on my wedding dress shopping tour. Christine and Jennifer set an incredibly high bar, no other boutique in town even came close to it!
They were friendly and knowledgeable. I had a very specific idea in mind and Christine pulled dresses prior to my arrival based on those specifications. Needless to say, I will be happily wearing the first dress I tried on.
I could not have asked for a better experience. To top it all off, my dress as well as all of my bridesmaids dresses were the best prices I have seen in town. Christine and Jennifer are just fantastic. What was a stressful experience everywhere else was a dream come true at Urban Set! Do yourself a favor and check it out!!!

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE GO TO URBAN SET BRIDE!
I am getting married in New Orleans and had previously gone to a very popular Bridal Salon there and had the worlds WORST experience. That one hour dress shopping nightmare nearly ruined dress shopping for me.
When I thought that I would lose all of my hair and hope before the big day I found this amazing shop online and decided to give it a try. I am SO glad I did!
Urban Set Bride reignited my excitement not only for dress shopping but honestly for wedding planning in general. Christine and Jennifer are truly a dream team. My experience was not only painless, but FUN!
I told the ladies what I was looking for and they pulled a few gorgeous gowns for me (honestly everything in there is amazing so you really can’t go wrong). After trying on some lovely gowns we found the one. It is really incredible and honestly the price is great! I would have expected it to cost double what it did.
Christine really made the experience. She was sweet, personable, and really a lot of fun to chat with. If I was getting married in Virginia I would have used Wood Grain and Lace (her event planning company) for my wedding. I felt at home shopping at Urban Set Bride and I can not wait for my dress to arrive in August!
Just a few of the amazing things about this place: only one appointment at a time, amazing service, friendly people, cozy, local, lots of different styles but not so much that it’s overwhelming, oh god I could go on and on! Anyone fits right in here. I could gush all day long.
No matter what, check this place out during your dress hunt. You won’t regret it.

Went to Urban Set Bride to try on gowns this weekend. The boutique is gorgeous. Christine is wonderful. She helped us determine the best silhouette for my frame and the ideal fabric for what we had in mind. It was the absolute best «first wedding dress shopping» experience I could have hoped for. No pressure, no stress. Just spending a few hours with your girlfriends (including Christine!), playing dressup and chatting about boys. Also, for those who may think her dress selection might be too alternative or non-​traditional — she has an excellent variety of all types of dresses. And even if she doesn’t have the perfect dress for you, she’ll help steer you in the right direction. I highly, highly recommend her and her lovely new boutique!

After trying on a few gowns at some of the bigger shops around Richmond, a friend recommended Urban Set Bride to me. What a breath of fresh air! Christine and Jennifer greeted us warmly and made us coffee while we went over my budget, style and timeline. The first thing that hits you is how cute and well designed the space is!
Since they only have one appointment at a time, you truly feel like a princess as you try on several gowns to find the perfect one. Christine is adorable and quite personable, by the end of the appointment we were laughing and cracking jokes like old pals!
Since each of their gowns are hand-​picked you find a lot of gowns that aren’t at the more traditional stores. There are several that fall into the «Gatsby» style that is all the rage now as well as some very romantic, lacy and flowing gowns. There are even some gowns that are very retro– and very cool! Their prices are right on the mark compared with other stores and several have the option to rush if you are a procrastinator like me! Bring your bridesmaids as they are some unique bridesmaids dresses and several belts and veils to choose from.

All in all, this is a fantastic shop! Above all others this was my best wedding gown shopping experience and I would highly recommend them :)
