    I came here a few months ago to browse wedding dresses. I did some research and the Sentimentalist had the style of what I was looking for if that makes any sense. ... The other Bridal place will remain nameless but, there was a huge difference at the level of service. With that, I'm so happy I found my dress here. Thank you guys for providing the best customer service and help getting my dress in as a rush order. Literally the best experience out there! Come here, do your research, support women owned local businesses.

    Every moment in The Sentimentalist was pure magic. After a few nerve-wracking experiences at other shops, I was so pleased to walk into a calm, charming environment. ...

    I picked up my dress today and am honestly sad that I don't have any more excuses to stop by. (I'll definitely be riding along with any engaged friends in the future!) If you're looking for an intimate, unique experience, I highly recommend checking out The Sentimentalist. You won't be sorry.

    I was referred to The Sentimentalist by a close friend. This bridal boutique made me, my mom, and my sister feel at home the instant we rang the bell! From the warmest welcome to the compassionate and personalized experience, Caitlin was beyond a professional; she made me feel special and like a friend! She asked questions about my life, my fiancé, and how we met. These are the little things that make so much of a difference. I felt so special and beautiful in my wedding gown that I fell in love with and chose; I owe a lot of this to my experience at The Sentimentalist. Sincerest thanks again to Caitlin & the sweet girls there who helped me find my dream dress!

    My experience at the Sentimentalist was a refreshing contrast to the other shops I visited. The ladies in the shop were at the same time more knowledgeable, but less snobby. I received no judgmental looks when I reported my short timeline (3 months) for finding a dress. Rhiannon and Caitlin were very helpful without being pushy. Rhiannon politely encouraged me to try on a dress I had no interest in on the hanger, which turned out to be the one (Daria, by Theia). She even helped me find the right undergarment for the dress, which was not an easy feat given the cut and type of fabric. ...

    Where do I even begin? I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards the Sentimentalist, their magical little store, and the incredibly talented and helpful shop girls. The Sentimentalist were an integral part of my wedding journey, and I am so thankful for that!

    ... In all honesty, you guys rock, and are truly a little nugget of goodness in the Atlanta Bridal Shop world. I will forever sing the Sentimentalist's praises to everyone I know getting married, and always encourage people to stop in. It's only fair they have the same magical experience I did.

    Thank you again!
