The Ultimate Guide to Wedding Dress Shopping in Detroit

Saying yes to your wedding dress is a day that we've all dreamt about! One of the biggest tips we can give you - make an entire day out of dress shopping. Make the experience fun, curated to you, and full of once in a lifetime memories with your people! From pre-appointment brunch to celebratory activities after you say yes we have put together a list of some of our favorite places in Detroit to truly make for the ultimate wedding dress shopping experience. 

FIRST STOP - BRUNCH AND CAFFEINE 

Two of our favorite local spots near our boutique are Brush Park Bodega and Cafe Sous Terre. Both offering a variety of food, coffee, and cocktail/mocktail options sure to set an excited tone as you head into your bridal appointment. With both of these options being only a short distance away from our Detroit boutique, it makes either a great choice to start the day.
