Classy Concepts

For some reason, I could not fathom the idea of dropping a grand on a dress that I would never wear again. After exhausting several penny pinching avenues, I came across Classy Concepts. It was the only bridal shop (within the vicinity) that rents dresses to brides. I was a little disappointed in their selection once I started browsing through the store. However, the bridal consultant, Janet, was eager to please. She stated that most of the dresses can be altered and modified to suit my style. I picked an ordinary, A-​line diamond white dress and proceeded to request modifications. My mother and I purchased appliques from our local fabric/​craft store, added a dazzling brooch to the bustle and modified the skirt to a sexy mermaid style sheath! Absolutely amazing, totally «me» AND several hundreds of dollars less than most in-​store purchase out there. Total win! Their rental process is totally hassle-​free. The cleaning fees are nominal. You are even welcome to ship the dress (without cleaning it) back to the store once your event is over. This was probably my most cost effective purchase, leaving room in my budget for other fun stuff. :-)

I had a wonderful experience with this place. I got married in April and I wanted a low-​budget wedding. I was turned onto classy concepts by my sister-​in-​law. You can rent your wedding gown here.
I went in, tried on several gowns, and finally found the perfect one. The only problem was that I am only 4’11″ and the dress was made for a normal sized woman. No problem! Janet and her staff scheduled an appt to have my measurements taken. When I picked up my dress, everything fit perfectly.
While at my wedding, I managed to step on the hem, however, it was a temporary hem. No damage done. They let you set up a payment plan and are pretty great throughout the entire process.
I got tons of compliments on my wedding day and I have fond memories of a dress I’ll never wear again. I paid $ 200 plus alterations for renting a $ 2000 wedding gown. You can’t beat that.
YAY!!! Classy Concepts has a place in my heart!
