Went here after first going to David’s Bridal. Knowing David’s is a big box store, I very very wrongly assumed they would have more selection at better prices. I was HAPPILY wrong. Ferri Formals and their staff are absolutely amazing. I worked with Talia (sorry if I spelled that wrong). She was beyond helpful, so nice and even stayed after closing hours to accommodate indecisiveness. She made the process so very easy. I went in looking for a budget wedding dress and left with the dress of my dreams for only $99! I found so many budget dresses that were all absolutely gorgeous, I couldn’t believe it. Have not gotten the tailoring done yet but so far recommend 10/10 for all brides!

I have been there twice, once for doing research on bridesmaids dresses for my friend across the country and once more for my own wedding dress. Clothing shopping is not a favorite of mine due to my size but they made me feel wonderful. Im sad I didnt buy my wedding dress from them but Im excited to use them for my fitting as they were wonderful the other times I have been. If you lack in the self confidence department, they truly are wonderful and know how to navigate emotions for sure

Ferri Formals and Bridals is a great shop with reasonable prices and so much variety in size and style. The location was convenient for me, so they ended up being the only place I went to shop for my wedding dress. When I was trying on dresses and searching for the perfect one, I never felt rushed or pressured. It was such a fun experience and they made me feel so special. I took my dress home with me and brought it back a few months before my wedding for alterations. I had my dress taken in quite a bit and it was still a little big on top after alterations. They did even more alterations and told me I could pick it up 2 days before my wedding. That was stressful, but they assured me it would be ready and that there would still be time left for more alterations if needed. They pulled it off and I was happy with how well my dress fit me. My husband and his Best Man rented their tuxes from Ferri Formals and the process was very easy for them. They also altered my Maid of Honor dress, even though it was purchased from somewhere else. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience with Ferri Formals and Im looking forward to having them clean and preserve my dress!

It was a pleasure working with Ferri Formals for my wedding gown! Every dress in the store is absolutely gorgeous. I fell in love with the first one I tried on. Mary Lou, the owner, is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. She did all of the alterations and the preservation. I’ve recommended this store to countless friends and family over the past year!

I went shopping here today to watch my future sister in law try on wedding dresses. I forget the saleswoman’s name but she was AMAZING. She was not pushing for something my sister in law wasn’t interested in and let her figure out what she liked and was so sweet! She definitely put her time and effort into this fitting and was very professional. I would recommend this place for sure!

Ferri Formals was more than accommodating throughout the entire process of finding the dress, all of the alterations, and will be helping me clean/preserve as well! I would highly recommend Ferris to any future bride who is looking for not only her perfect dress, but a place that has super friendly and helpful staff as well !

I had gone to a few different bridal shops before here and none came close to the quality and variety at Ferris. Everyone I worked with were wonderful and I never felt rushed or pressured. They had a large variety of dresses and were very accommodating to work with. All of the staff were genuinely interested in hearing about your wedding and helped look for your perfect dress. They have more than one gorgeous area to try on dresses and really makes you feel like a special bride! I highly recommend!

My experience was negative. Im actually surprised at all of the positive reviews after my time there and experience. I will not be ever going back here. I made an appointment months ahead and had even filled out a page I received via email, about my budget and style of dresses i liked. But apparently that doesnt do anything so dont bother and if you have a budget…Dont bother. I told them i had a certain budget and they brought me several dresses that were 2x over my budget. I felt humiliated because of the fact i had a budget and it seemed to keep being a big problem. I asked to see the Cheaper dresses that were in my budget and i also asked about clearance dresses because they had advertised some beautiful dresses all over their social media for reasonable prices! Well thats just to pull you in. Because we had to ask 5 times to see these dresses and each time she said she would bring some. Well every time she brought dresses, they were not even in my size…. And i had already tried on 3 dresses so she knew my size. So finally my step mother asked again if it was okay if we just went to take a look at the dresses, she finally agreed and surprise we found 3 in my size down there and in the style i came for. I cannot begin to explain how upset/anxious and uncomfortable i felt especially when i received a comment about my chest not fitting in the dress numerous times. I was close to tears. Not to mention i was only there an hour and i was told “well our next appointment is here so you can just think about this one and come back”. So i was basically being kicked out after only an hour. I knew from the second i wasnt being listened too about what i was looking for in a dress i needed to leave but i gave it a shot and was let down anyways. We left and went to davids bridal and i had the appointment i had dreamt of and found the dress of my dreams. I never leave bad reviews and usually just let things go but i should have never had to feel this way on such a special day that i was SO excited for.

Ferri Formal and Bridal (and specifically MaryLu), got me the dress of my dreams for the absolute greatest wedding day ever! In January of 2018 I began looking at dresses at multiple stores in MA for my December 2019 wedding. One of the first dresses I ever tried on was a Lillian West dress that I loved- style 6422…. But, it being one of the very first I tried, I didn’t think it could be the one. At my next dress shopping trip, I purchased a different dress.In between January of 2018 and December of 2019 I just knew in my gut that I had bought the wrong dress for me and my vision for my wedding day. At the beginning of December I began frantically searching everywhere on the internet for a used Lillian West dress I could buy in time for my wedding at the end of the month. I found Ferri Formal and Bridal online because they were having a Lillian West trunk show. I contacted them inquiring about the dress and Marylu was the KINDEST woman ever. She heard my crazy story, helped me order a NEW Lillian West dress within my budget and was very patient with my fears and worries about the short timeline.There were 2 weeks to go until my wedding when my dress came in and arrived at the store. I drove to NY and MaryLu and team arranged for it to be altered THAT VERY DAY! I am so grateful for MaryLu’s kindness, help and support! I had a great experience and would recommend their store highly!Dress: Lillian West Style 6422Photographer: KristaJean Photography
