I found my dress online and called every store in the state of Texas looking for the dress to try on. I happened to move to Houston that week when Wedding by Debbie called back a WEEK later. I bought the dress that weekend. The customer service could be worked on. No one seemed to really smile around there. They were helpful in trying to pick out dresses and accessories, but I had to push to try on different item that were they ideas. Alterations was hard since I moved away and had to book a couple months out. Speaking with them on the phone never seemed to be a good experience. The dress was beautiful, but if I could have found it somewhere else, I would have bought it there.

The team at Weddings by Debbie was incredible...from the actualy dress shopping to the alterations, everything went smooth and was wonderful. I especially appreciated the indiviudal attention by alterations, specfically Lupe and her team. They did an excellent job and addressed every concern and detail with professionalism.
Thank you to the whole team!

I went to four different bridal salons before I found "the one." Weddings by Debbie was the last on the list, and I pretty much had decided from the beginning that they too would not have what I was looking for. My bridal consultant was extremely helpful, attentive, and wanted to make sure that I got the dress of my dreams. I told her that my fiancee wanted a dress that would show off my figure with a plunging necklne and back. I wanted a dress that was mermaid or fit-to-flair. I was convinced that like the three other salons, this bridal consultant would have me try on many pretty dresses, but none that met all of my criteria. Boy was I wrong. The last dress she had me try on was a dress she selected. I was very reluctant to try it on, but as soon as I did and stepped out to look in the mirror, I just knew that this was it!!
Once I said yes to the dress, the store manager came over and congratulated me and assited me in picking out a veil, a matching jewelry. Each time I went back to the salon for my fittings adn to pick up my dress, the staff were incredily friendly and always helpful.
Weddings by Debbie ie reasonably priced for alterations and will house your dress onsite until your are ready to pick it up. They offer one free pressing and charge a small fee for additional pressings.
My mom also purchased her mother of the bride dresss and I purchased the dress for my rehearsal dinner.
I highly recommend this place for wedding dresses, mother of the bride dresses, and dresses for...

I bought my dress at Weddings by Debbie, which is really close to where I live, and I highly recommend Lina. She was not pushy, very bubbly and was great to shop around with.
I could over hear some of the other staff making unneccessary remarks and otherwise not friendly. My personal experience, however, was great.
I actually like that no children are allowed, and how you can take pictures of any dress you want. They have a HUGE selection in their showroom at all price levels. Once I told Lina my budget, she totally stuck with it. Their alteration expert, Lupe was AWESOME! Very sweet lady and actually saved me quite a bit of money with her experise and advice. (I wanted to add cups in my dress so that I wasn't spilling over the top, and she recommended against it, advising that the cups with add more. She didn't have to, but she did. She also was great for conversation and did the bustle phenomenally- also her...

I found my wedding dress here and it was beautiful! The price was ok. I really liked the store. Very pretty and well arranged. Its not overwhelming at all. I felt comfortable looking around and trying on different styles. As for the service the ladies were super snobby. Didn't like them AT ALL. But Lupe in Alterations was super sweet and really good at what she does which turned my experience around. I would recommend Weddings by Debbie only if you're going in with tunnel vision. Go in...get THE dress...and get out. Don't expect the over the top bridal experience. I went to 6 different bridal shops in Houston and this one had the best selection in my opinion

At first I absolutely loved this place. My sales rep was amazing.. so sweet and eager to help. I am pregnant and needed a dress quick and we still managed to find my dream dress. The tailor on the other hand can be a little rude and doesn't know how to handle customers. They also weren't the best at keeping up with my information as far as when I needed my alterations scheduled etc. I do have to say though they were very accomodating for me being pregnant, they didn't charge extra for our last minute alterations.

I had Lina at Weddings by Debbie and she was so sweet and helpful. She knew everything there is to know about wedding dresses. I didn't feel pressured or that she was trying to make a sale right then and there. She understood that buying a wedding dress is a big decision and even extending the discount for buying your dress the same day. The alterations dept. was great and made sure my dress fit perfect!! You won't be disapointed with LINA so make sure you ask for her when making your appointement!!!

This was the first place I went to look for my dress, and I am so glad I did! I only tried on 3 dresses and I had found "the one." The staff was great and the alterations did a great job as well. The overall experience was incredible!

I was treated in a very professional way since I first made a call to schedule an appointment till the very last communication I had with them. I already knew what gown I wanted but still tried on others. At the end I ended up purchasing the one I had my heart and mind set to it. My consultant was very nice and helpful. My gown came in way earlier than the expected arrival date. They were good about calling me once it came in. The gown was not damage in any way and was more beautiful than I had last seen it. I didn't get alterations there either or the complimentary steam because the location it is very far from were I live. I didn't purchase no extra items at the boutique such as veil and hair accessories because I thought they were too overpriced. As for the petticoat I thought the price was very reasonable. Alsom I thought the dressing rooms were a great size. Not to small not to big. Overall I highly recommended to go give this boutique a try. It will be a nice experience.

Lina was amazing there! The people there aren't the nicest. Come on you have one of the best jobs in the world...SMILE! The dresses are beautiful! Alterations is a little wishy washy. They are usually late for appointments but they got the job done. I wouldn't trust my dress with just anyone. I would go back there again even though I know what to expect.

The selection of my wedding dress went pretty well. I took only my Mom and her and I got there and pretty much walked the store looking at different styles. They have it arranged by budget price so that made it pretty easy. The sales consultant was helpful and as we were looking brought some dresses and if I said I didn't like them she didn't pressure me to try them on or anything. In the end it came down to 2 and they helped me get in and out of them as much as I needed to so I could compare and make a decision. So that was a good experience. However, anytime I would call the store after purchasing the dress whoever answered often seemed unfriendly and to have an attitude problem. Someone had called me to tell me that my dress was in and made me an appointment for alterations. I called not 5 minutes later to change the date from that Thursday to the next Tuesday and was told that the person who schedules the alterations wasn't in that day. I said really? Well there's a Jessica or Jennifer who just called me and I just scheduled an appointment and she insisted on no, there's nobody there by that name. I said to let me talk to someone else and that's when she's like oh, hold one moment, I think she might be here. Even on one occasion when my Mom and I went to look for her mother of the bride dress we walked in and weren't greeted right away, the lady at the computer didn't even lift her head to acknowledge us so I thought ok, well we're just going to go look then. As we made our way to the left where they have those dresses she all of a sudden looks up and says, 'Ma'am, ma'am." Then I guess we were important. By then it was too late for me and I kept walking but my Mom went out and talked to her.
The actual alterations were great. I'm short and my dress was long and had a long train and it was going to have to be bustled. I was a little putoff at first because it seemed the lady had an attitude without me even coming out of the dressing room but there was nobody else I would trust to work on my dress so I put that aside and went out there. I could tell she was having a rough day because people kept coming up to her while she was working with me so I let it slide. By the end of my appointment she was much better and she was great on the appointment after that. She did a wonderful job and everyone loved the way the bustle looked at the reception. But as everyone else says, the appointments do tend to run late. We'd show up on time and have to wait maybe 30 minutes. But Lupe did a truly great job and I'm glad I got them done there.

This is a great place to purchase your dress. The shop is very beautiful and large. There are many dresses there for the bride and her party. They also offer 10% off if you purchase at your 1st appointment and 10% to your bride's maids. They also do alterations and the lady that does them is wonderful. I loved working with her. She was funny, quick and made sure that my dress turned out perfect. Only down side is that you aren't allowed to bring anyone under the age of 12. I completely understand this rule but unfortunatly my niece was 11 and also a Jr. Bride's maid. Overall I loved shopping there.

If you are looking for selection and great service on the purchasing side, you have found the right place! They have a huge selection of the best name brand wedding gown designers. You don't want to pass them up if you are simply looking at all your options. I tried on 50+ wedding dresses before I found the one here! There is absolutely no pressure to buy and you get a discount on your first visit. My dress even came in early. Make an appointment and don't cancel because they book up pretty fast.
The alterations side of the situation is a bit different. You MUST have an appointment for everything. From alterations to steaming to picking the dress up and dropping it off again, you have to have an appointment. Alterations are a bit high priced for me and added over $1000 to my final total but it was worth it and the woman that does the alterations here is amazing, she knows what she is doing. The appointments here are not very convenient and they aren't flexible but if you can make it work. Also, it is very hard to get a hold of someone on the telephone on this side because they are always so busy and they might not call you back. You have to pay for alterations up front!
They were always friendly when I walked in the door and did try to make as many accomodations as possible. They even wrote sweet notes on my dress wrapping when we picked it up for portraits and the wedding day. Great place!

The consultant I had was very helpful! It only took me saying that I liked the look of a dress I saw in there that was wayyy out of my budget and she brought me pretty much a replica of that dress in a different designer and for much less! She pulled all of the dresses that I had looked up online as well and then still brought me dresses that matched my taste that she thought I would like. The business itself is amazing as well. I loved that they dont allow children in the store, I know that may hinder some people but it was actually refreshing to be able to enjoy that moment with my bridesmaids with champagne and all without a bunch of kids running around like they have no parents. They just remodelled and the store is so beautiful! They also have bridesmaids and mother of the bride section as well as a whole prom section. Very pleased with my experience.
