Blue Sky Bridal

Giselle was insanely knowledgable and helpful without being pushy — really can’t say enough about how awesome she was. Great selection of quality dresses in 8 – 12 without being overwhelming. Relaxed and comfortable vibes. Lots to choose from for my under $ 1000 budget.

Blue Sky Bridal was the first of two stops on the first day of wedding dress shopping with my mom and my BFF. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I felt at ease from the moment we walked through the door. Giselle was the gal that helped me through the whole process; she was immediately friendly, informative, and clearly knew her stuff. The store’s inventory is neatly stored on several racks by size, with a dress photo and name tag on each dress. I selected around 9 dresses and was given a private dressing room with Giselle coming in to help zip & clip me in when ready (I’m no prude but I liked the relative privacy compared to another place I went!). They have accessories such as sashes and veils for you to try on if desired. Most dresses have been worn once and while all but one I tried were in perfect condition, Giselle was up front about any small fixes that would need to be done at the buyer’s expense (small tears, buttons to re-​attach, etc.). Pro tip: they keep their inventory up to date online so you can do some pre-​visit browsing. The store is quaint, clean and comfortable, not stuffy at all. I tried on 9 dresses, but the 4^th or 5^th one ended up being ‘the one.’ From the great service to the affordable prices, I can’t reccommend Blue Sky Bridal enough!

Blue Sky Bridal is my favourite bridal salon in Seattle.
I highly HIGHLY recommend visiting Blue Sky Bridal when you’re looking for a wedding gown. Don’t let the idea of a consignment store throw you off. Jen (the owner) and her team are very selective about what they buy. Many of the gowns are brand new with tags and the sample or «used» gowns are in pristine shape compared to samples I’ve seen in other bridal salons. DO check out their website to see what dresses they currently have (they are quite speedy with updates) and DO make an appointment. Bring a pair of socks (see below) and head on over there.
PRICE — a great range of prices (from $ 200 — $ 2400). The most expensive gown I tried on was $ 2400 (new with tags and high quality). I saw a designer gown I tried on at another store that was marked down 60%. Check out their website to see what dresses they currently have.
STYLE & SELECTION — all the dresses are in pristine condition. Each dress is displayed (out of the sun!) in its own garment bag. Each dress has already been professionally cleaned. The store does not allow shoes and each bride is given a pair of gloves to wear during her appointment to preserve the cleanliness of the gowns. There is a wide variety of silhouettes. This salon caters to the greatest spectrum of body types (from 0 to 20).
SERVICE — Giselle is one of the best bridal consultants/​stylists in the city. She is friendly, warm, and fun yet professional and super knowledgeable about bridal fashion and fashion in general. She is that cool friend whose style you love or that friend whose opinion you can always count on. Giselle pulled a stunning tulle gown (and I hate tulle!) that I would never have chosen for myself and that gown ended up on my top 3 list! DO make an appointment — the shop only has two change rooms. There is no pressure and no pushiness from anyone — while I only worked with Giselle, the owner Jen and another consultant were also there and they were super friendly and warm.
DISCLAIMER — It was a tough decision but after narrowing my dress choices to 3 gowns (2 of which were from Blue Sky Bridal!) — I chose to purchase my wedding dress from another store.

In researching wedding shops to go shopping with my daughter, this shop was the first on my list. I loved everything about it that I read online and made it our first stop. The shop was darling and the staff amazing. They explained everything to my daughter and the journey of trying dresses started!!! Giselle helped my daughter and she was amazing, helpful and so, so nice. The shop was just the right size and during our appointment they gave us a ton of attention. They were able to answer questions about all the dresses. My daughter found the perfect wedding dress and we were finished.
This store is as good as it gets, top notch and absolutely wonderful! Make this your first stop on the bridal store list– you will be so happy. The best customer service, and they will make it that day that you remember for the rest of your life. Thank you Blue Sky Bridal you made us all so happy and excited with the beautiful dress we went home with.

Absolutely fantastic service and good selection. Although I didn’t buy my dress here, I did have them sell my dress and they were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend a visit if you are looking for a dress.

Blue Sky Bridal could not have given me a better experience. I had been to three other bridal stores previously and enjoyed some of them, but the wedding was pushed up by four months and the order times for other places were downright impossible to work with.
Since they have their dresses listed online, my sweetheart of a bridesmaid had been looking to see if any of the dresses I loved had come in. Sure enough, on a Sunday afternoon when I’m sure they were already booked, I got a text with a dress I loved and in my size. I immediately called and left a message, sounding desperate I’m sure, asking how to get them to put it on hold. They called back, and within an hour, they managed to fit me in that day to come to see it.
We arrived and they got my information and we were asked to put on socks and gloves, but made it clear it was to keep the dresses clean.
I tried on my dress and was so amazed that it fit like a glove. I tried on a few others but was able to leave, with the dress that made me happy and feel pretty, within an hour. My dress had a belt included — one less thing to find! They even gave me a recommendation for a tailor who would make the jacket I had in mind.
If you are just starting your search, know exactly what you want, or just don’t want to have to wait for your dress Blue Sky is the place to go.

During early summer 2015, my mom, sister and I decided to go wedding dress shopping on a whim (mainly for ideas for my destination wedding), and so we called Blue Sky Bridal and asked if there was any availability.
To our luck, they had an opening within the half hour! When we got there, Jen was so warm and welcoming. It was a rather peaceful and comfortable environment, which I really loved. I casually browsed dresses and I could not believe my eyes when I saw that there were two dresses in my size, one being my DREAM Katie May dress perfect for a beach wedding. Tried it on and am so excited to be wearing this dress at my wedding this May 2016! After that, Jen was lovely and allowed me to try on other dresses for the fun of it. She is amazingly sweet and made the experience a really special one for the three of us. Thank you so much Jen!

I haven’t decided on my dress yet, but out of all 5 bridal dress stores I’ve been to so far, Blue Sky Bridal gave me the most professional experience, and completely eased my mind as I tried on dresses.
I’m petite and on a budget, so I was worried that I wouldn’t have many choices. However, I found 6+ dresses within my size, budget and style, so needless to say, I was ecstatic! Giselle was the one who helped me. She was calm, professional and gave me her honest opinion on what would and wouldn’t work with the tailor. There was no pressure at all for me to purchase anything.
The shop itself was cozy and clean. You can tell that they take really good care of their consignment dresses. There is a no shoe policy beyond a certain area to ensure that the dresses stay clean and intact. Staff and customers also have to wear gloves to make sure the dresses don’t get snarled by rings, nails etc. There is a good selection of dresses, starting as low as a few hundreds. If I plan to sell my dress, I would definitely consider selling it through Blue Sky Bridal.

I found The One here!
I almost cancelled my appointment at Blue Sky after finding a dress a few days prior, but I’m so glad I didn’t. I’m an awkward and apprehensive shopper, so I liked how the experience wasn’t too high energy and Giselle really put me at ease. I was the first appointment of the day and only had my mother with me, so it felt nice and intimate — I always feel «in the way» in busier stores.
They had a beautiful selection of dresses, and not one of them would have been a bad choice. The staff sat back while I tried different styles on, but gave me really helpful feedback when I asked them what they thought. Giselle also left the room every time I changed in and out of a dress, which I appreciated — it’s nice to have some breathing time to yourself! The fact photographs were permissible was really helpful, too, as a lot of them look completely different in photographs.
We actually loved having to take our shoes off (complimentary socks!), it was oddly comforting, and I thought the gloves were a great idea — it’s so easy to snag those fabrics with a ring or nails, no matter how smooth they are. Plus Giselle seemed to know when I’d fallen in love with a dress because she told me to take the gloves off to get a real feel of what it would look like — bingo!
I was actually apprehensive when I saw some of the styles at first, but my dream dress ended up being something I thought I’d never be able to pull off! I’m so happy I felt comfortable enough to take a risk and try something different on. When I did find «The One» I felt a little nervous and disoriented (ha!) so Giselle gave my mom and I some privacy, which I was extremely grateful for.
Payment was swift and easy, and after growing up as a thrift shopper, I’m so glad my money’s gone to supporting the bride who wore the dress before me and to a business like this. I would definitely recommend.

Found this spot after trying eBay and tradesy to sell my wedding dress with no luck. The upshot of blue sky is they do all the «selling» for you, as opposed to online you’re doing it yourself. I knocked a star because when I made an appointment to consign in July, the next available appointment was the end of September which made it difficult to plan that far ahead with my schedule. Either way my dress sold, but plan ahead so your dress style is still current. Thanks blue sky, I’m happy another bride can feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day.

I absolutely loved our experience at Blue Sky! It was our first stop of the day so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Giselle explained everything in detail and was so helpful and fun. I was also really impressed with their selection-​there were so many choices! I would definitely recommend them for brides with every budget and timeline.

I called Blue Sky Bridal the day before I planned to go dress shopping got on a waiting list and the next morning they called me saying there was an appointment available. I feel so lucky that an appointment opened up because Giselle was so wonderful and I left with the perfect dress for me. Giselle was helpful and positive and made me feel comfortable despite me coming into the experience worried about how dresses would fit me. I stayed well within my budget and couldn’t be happier!

This shop was recommended to me by a friend who had a short engagement (same situation as me), and I was so glad I went here first! I thought my options would be limited because I needed something within 3 months, but I found great options here for reasonable prices. I’m petite (5’1), so I wasn’t too hopeful there would be a lot in my size, but I actually picked out 10+ dresses to try on in size 2 or 4. There was selection at a variety of price points too (low hundreds to thousands).
Giselle was fabulous at helping me out — very patient and down to earth, and I didn’t feel any pressure to buy, even though I found one I loved and ended up buying it that same day. I also got to try on some sashes and veils, although I didn’t end up purchasing either.
It’s a cute little shop tucked away on a residential street, and everything was clean and well managed. You can tell they take care of the dresses, as they make you wear gloves when you try them on to protect them.
Highly recommend, even if you aren’t on a tight timeline or budget.

The prices were comparable to some stores that sold new dresses. I didn’t really get any help with picking a dress. The whole trip was a waste of time.

What an awesome spot to pick up a dress! I went with a gf of mine who needed a dress ASAP as she wanted to have a short engagement. This place is appointment only, so call and get your spot!
They sell wedding dresses on consignment, both new/​never used and lightly used & dry cleaned. They had a nice range of selections for my friend and was able to find the right one for her that day. Buying was a breeze and they have a list of alterations places that you can contact as well. They are very helpful and friendly and made the buying experience special. They also have a selection of veils and other accessories, so you can see what they would look like with the dress you have on.
If you have a wedding dress that you would like to sell, you should definitely give them a call! They are always looking for more dresses!

I hate shopping, especially for dresses. knowing I did not want to go to Davids Bridal, and wanted something that gives back in someway this store was a no-​brainer. This place is amazing, and their heart for others is great! I was able to easily find my wedding dress for a fraction of the price. They were kind, and super helpful. All the gowns are in amazing condition and some of the prices are beyond compare. Loved this dress shop, cannot recommend it enough.

Updating my review since my dress sold.
It actually sold just over a month ago, so it was on sale at the shop for maybe 35 days? Super quick turn around thankfully. The store contacted me when it was sold and let me know the amount my check would be in and asked me to verify the address. I got the money a week later.
The entire process was super easy, and I feel great knowing that someone else out there is going to love that dress as much as I did. And hey, getting a quarter of what I paid back beats having it sit in my closet! And since I’m lazy it definitely beats me trying to sell it on my own!

Let me preface my review by saying that I was in no way looking forward to shopping for a wedding dress. I hate shopping and had watched too many re-​runs of «Say Yes to the Dress» which led my to believe that every bridal shop was full of aggressive, bitchy saleswomen. Thank you Blue Sky Bridal for proving me wrong!
Although this is a consignment bridal shop, it feels like an upscale bridal boutique. I didn’t want to spend more than $ 1000 on a dress and it was very easy to find options within my price range. Trina made me feel very comfortable and was not pushy in the slightest. I ended up getting a wonderful (new) dress for $ 600 less than the original price. If you are looking for an affordable dress and a wonderful customer service experience then look no further!

I called Blue Sky Bridal last Sunday morning not expecting them to have an open appointment and lucky me (!!!), someone had cancelled last minute! This was my second time shopping for a dress and first time in a consignment boutique.
Things I loved about this boutique:
— Kat was warm and friendly right off the bat. She made me feel comfortable and I never felt like she was pushing a sale.
— I like that it’s a shoe-​free zone and you have to wear gloves to handle the gowns — it shows they really care about maintaining the quality of the garments.
— Great natural lighting and plenty of mirror space
— VERY affordable gowns (I saw anything from $ 500‑1500)
Since the boutique itself is not enormous, they only take two appointments at a time. I enjoyed the intimate feel of this set up and appreciated Kat’s focused attention and assistance. I really felt like I could trust her opinions and advice
I am absolutely thrilled that I found my dress here at an incredible price. I’m happy to contribute to their business and I’m even happier I made a green purchase! This is definitely a place worth visiting in your dress shopping adventures. I’m so glad they lived up to all the fabulous Unilocal reviews.
(I also learned that they store splits the profits of the dress ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ with the owner of the gown, in case anyone is considering selling their dress here.)

I don’t really even know where to begin. If you’re planning on shopping for wedding dresses in the Seattle area, I recommend you make you stops at other bridal salons in the city and then end your day at Blue Sky, where you will actually find the dress of your dreams, with the price tag of your dreams.
I set up a day of appointments with the hope that I could find the dress of my dreams in one swift day. I was lucky enough to find a couple dressed that I absolutely loved. My price range was roughly $ 1,500 with some wiggle room, but I just couldn’t get excited about spending that much money on a dress that I will wear for 8 hours when I could use that money to other uses.
Blue Sky Bridal was the last shop I went to. I walked in slightly exhausted after a long day of shopping and was immediately revitalized by the vibe of the shop and the people working there. The store only takes one (maybe 2) appointments at a time and the dresses are organized in such a way that there is PLENTY of room to view each dress which are individually hung in clear garment bags. Because the prices are more friendly you can allow yourself to look at every dress, and fall in love with all of them, instead of seeing a dress out of the corner of your eye that you absolutely love, but can never own.
Can’t say enough about this beautiful shop.
