I went to Kelly's Closet on recommendation of a friend. The dresses are different from what you will find at many other more "typical" bridal salons. Unfortunately, they did not have much selection in the type of dress I was looking for - very simple, very elegant, diaphanous. The consultant I worked with was friendly but didn't strike me as being very knowledgeable. Overall, however, it was a good experience.
Pros: interesting selection of dresses, down-to-earth atmosphere
Cons: limited selection of simple, elegant dresses

I have visited Kelly's Closet ever since it first opened. The relaxed atmosphere, uncluttered racks, and unique clothes always drew me in. Even my husband likes to shop there! After many years of visiting the boutique, it was the first place I went to try on wedding gowns. The beautiful selection and personal attention I received from the bridal consultants made me want to buy my gown there. While I did visit another shop in town, the experience did not compare. If you are going to spend a lot of money on a couture gown, you want to feel taken care of, not just another customer being shuffled in and out. At Kelly's Closet I felt the consultants were really trying to understand me and the kind of bride I wanted to be. They took time thinking through the options and what made me feel good, not just what made me look good. In the end, I got both. I wouldn't send a friend anywhere else!
Pros: atmosphere, service, quality
Cons: sometimes expensive (but worth it!)
