I cannot even begin to tell you the most wonderful (& a little turbulent) experience I had at Bridal Boys. In June of 2021 I started the hunt for my wedding dress, I knew I wanted a black dress, there was no compromise on that. The day I went to Bridal Boys, I had booked appointments at two other bridal shops as well. I also had originally fallen in love with a dress off of Etsy & really was looking to see if the style I had fallen in love with, looked good on me (spoiler alert, it did not!!!). Anyway, the owner, David had called me to ask me some questions prior to my appointment, he saw I was looking for an all black dress. Our phone conversation was wonderful. After that, I went into the shop & let me tell you, he was one of the most charismatic, vivacious, & genuine people I have EVER come across. He wanted ME to find a dress I really loved. At the time, he didn’t have any black dresses in the store. But we found a dress that I had fallen in love with. I didn’t say yes right away, I had gone to my other appointment at another bridal shop in McHenry (won’t name names) & they just were plain awful. I cancelled the appointment at the third shop (it was just David’s bridal, so no biggie there) & drove straight back to their shop to order the dress I had fallen in love with. It was originally a blush pink with what they called “cracked” ice underlay, which was absolutely stunning. He was ordering it custom for me, in black. I was ECSTATIC. He also had called me a few days later, because a bridal show he went to, debuted an all black dress & wanted me to try it on! So I did, but I just didn’t like it as much as the one I was getting custom made. This brings us to February of 2022, I checked in with the shop to see if my dress would be in soon, he gave me an estimate of late February for my dress to come in, David said he hadn’t heard anything from the manufacturer & was going to look into it…Well, this is the bad part, turned out there was a fire in the warehouse where the lace was being manufactured & it had happened in October of 2021!!! No one told him this!! This also affected twelve other brides! He told me that he would fix this & get the manufacturer to send him more dresses in, which they did. I went in for a SECOND time. David was so apologetic & was so incredibly sweet. He told me out of all of the girls this had affected, he was concerned about me the most. He told me that he actually cried & lost sleep over it, & he even had tears in his eyes while saying this to me. He had five dresses for me to try on, a couple all black, a BEAUTIFUL blush dress with black appliqués, & I think there was another. I tried them all on, but the last one I tried on, which was separated from the rest, is the one I fell in absolute love with. It was the most “me” dress I had ever seen. It was the “goth princess” dress of my dreams. When I put it on in the fitting room, I knew it was the one. & then I looked in the mirror & my mom & best friend knew this was the one. He didn’t charge me any more than what I had paid (I had paid my original dress in full) & was handing me the dress right then & there!! He probably saw how shocked we were & offered to hold it at his shop until I needed to get it altered.

I am eternally grateful for David (& all of the girls that worked there), he just wants the best for his clients & is an extremely genuine person. I will cherish the moments I had at that bridal shop. Thank you so much everyone on the Bridal Boys team, especially David. Who’s humor & kindness, really made finding the dress of my dreams, so easy.

If I could give Dave and his staff a 10 star review I would! I went into my wedding appointment in fear that I wouldn’t find a dress that made me feel pretty. I pushed off dress shopping for over a year and a half and now that we are 1 year out from the wedding we are crunched on time. The second I walked into Bridal Boys, I knew we came to the right place! Dave and his staff were absolutely wonderful from start to finish! They helped me find multiple dresses that complemented my body type. They made my dress shopping experience magical and I couldn’t be more grateful for them. By the end of my appointment I was able to say yes to the dress and we were also able to find 2 beautiful gowns for my mom and mother in law to wear for the wedding. Working with Dave and his staff I didn’t feel like just another Bride walking in to try on gowns. I felt like a princess from a fairytale. If you are in need of a wedding dress, go check out Bridal Boys by Complete Bridal. Where finding the prefect dress for your big day is everyone’s number 1 priority!

I bought my mother of the bride dress at Bridal Boys and Dave was prenominal and very fun to work with. When the dress arrived it was too big and it had to be reordered. The next shipping date would not be for 2 mos which was very close to the wedding. When it came in I was snow birding in Florida and I needed it soon so Dave fed ex'd it to me so it could be altered there before coming home. I highly recommend this store. Thanks Dave!!!!

Had a great experience shopping for my daughter's wedding dress. David and The staff provided just right combination of expertise and fun. Everyone was nice and gave my daughter awesome guidance in picking out her dress. They did not try to talk her into spending more than her budget. She said yes to the dress! We were not pressured for time either, which relieves a lot of stress. They also have a great selection of other dresses and I will be going back to get my mother of the bride dress!
