Olgas Bridal Boutique

I was very happy with my experience with Olga's. On my second trip to Tampa with my mom, I had finished two appt's before 11am, they both ended quickly due to not having what I wanted. Not wanting to waste the day I called 3 other boutiques in the area and was told I could not even come into the store without an appt. I offered to simply look at their dresses and make an appt at a later time but was again told no. The last store on the list was Olga's. My mom suggested we just show up there and not try to call!! We did, and when we walked in at lunchtime...on Sat...I appologized for not having an appt and was greeted by an enthousiastic "Hi Honey, you don't need an appt, come on in and take a look around!!" I described what I wanted, a destination style gown that would fit an outdoor FL wedding in summer. I have asked for the same thing at other salons and still gotten large heavy dresses with huge trains. I was starting to feel like the dress didn't exist. It was the consultant who asked me to try on a particular dress, and this was only after I pulled 4 or 5 that I wasn't sold on. It was PERFECT!! I had 3 other dresses in the fitting room that I didn't even try on. That was the dress!! The staff at Olga's is not pushy, they let you pull dresses you like, but they are experts who are willing to jump in and help if asked. And the seamstress is AMAZING!!! The dress fit pretty well to begin with (also thanks to it being ordered in the correct size, something I find other salons almost refuse to do, always wanting to order big and tailor down) but it still needed some tweaking. It looked amazing!! I got so many compliments and several of my girlfriends asked where I got it and if they could get something similar!! Thanks Olga!!

I had been losing a lot of weight before my wedding and they waited until 1 month before my wedding to start my alterations. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't have even had anyone but my Aunt alter my gown but there was a family emergency and she was unable to help me. I wished my bodice would have been a little tighter but other than that they did a great job! I would suggest going during a week day though because they are BUSY on Saturday!

I love Olga's! I found the dress of my dreams at a reasonable price and alterations too! I wish I could wear my dress again and again! I also found my bridesmaid dresses there and they were exactly what I was looking for! I truly felt like a princess on my wedding day! Thank you Olga and staff!

I live in Washington DC but I went wedding dress shopping in Tampa, FL with my family. Walking into Olga's after shopping in DC and a few other stores in Tampa was like a breath of fresh air. I immediately found about 20 gowns I wanted to try on and the employees were extremely helpful even though it was just 1 hour before their closing time. As you can imagine, it took me longer than 1 hour to try on all those dresses and still, the employees were very patient with me. I finally narrowed it down to 2 dresses but could NOT decide! I left, after all that, without a dress. Even though they were closed the next day, Olga told me she would be in the store for a couple hours in the afternoon and that I was welcome to come back in since I was only in town for the weekend. I went back to the shop on Sunday, made my final decision and never looked back! Olga and Michele were so helpful and were willing to ship the dress to Washington DC so I wouldn't have to travel to Tampa for alterations. I checked in with them via phone a few times before I received the dress to check the status and they were always extremely responsive and informative. I had a wonderful experience at Olga's!

I went to over 15 bridal boutiques and tried on over 200 dresses before I found "THE DRESS". At Olgas I was able to order a Casablanca dress with extra fabric to help create my dress. After her seamstress got over the initial shock that I wanted to completely cut off my wedding dress to above the knee for a fun reception dress and create a 4 foot detachable train for the ceremony she worked very patiently and hard to create my dream dress. Although this was her first time she figured out the design down to the hooks and Velcro to detach the train. I received a million compliments on my one of a kind design and know that I felt and looked amazing!! I can not thank them enough for going the extra mile to make sure all problems were taken care of and I was happy!!

Olga and Michelle are absolutely wonderful!!! They took such great care of me and I looked/felt so beautiful on my big day!!! They are so knowledgable about wedding gowns and I was very comfortable choosing my dress. It turned out to be so stunning and I received so many compliments about it. I cannot express how thankful I am to Olga's who helped me through the process of selecting the gown, fittings and alterations. Ezmeralda who handles the alterations did a fabulous job and the dress fit like a glove. Thanks again ladies for being AMAZING! Love, Janna

I had a WONDERFUL experience at Olga's! I found a dress at another bridal shop and it was made by a designer that Olga's carried. I lived closer to Olga's and was familiar with their outstanding reputation, so I choose to order the dress through Olga's instead of the other store. As soon as the dress arrived, Olga's immediately called to begin scheduling my fittings. The seamstresses were so wonderful to work with and were great at offering their suggestions to make the dress feel more comfortable on me. The seamstresses put a tremendous amount of work into altering my three-layer chiffon, satin dress with detailed applique dress down 3 full dress sizes for me (I lost A LOT of weight). The dress was absolutely PERFECT and looked like it was made especially for me by the designer herself! Six weeks later, I had a Wedding Celebration party for extended family and friends. I wore the bridal gown to the cocktail hour, but then changed into another dress that I had Olgas alter as well. Again, the dress had to be altered down 3 sizes and was a two layered chiffon dress as well. Olgas did an AMAZING job in just a few weeks! I am so pleased with Olgas and will go back for any formal dresses I will need in the future!

Olga and her staff is wonderful to work with they are very caring and efficient. You will be treated like a Princess

I absolutely loved Olga and her staff! I went in there after going into Alfred Angelo, David's and Demetrios and I loved this place. First of all, you aren't pressured into buying the first or tenth dress you try on. I stood in my dressing room for about 20 minutes with my dress on and no one said a word except to ask if I needed any help. I ordered a Casablanca dress and changed the neckline to my dress (which I had no idea I could do) with the help of Olga. Olga's measurements were perfect and when my dress came in, I barely needed any alterations with the exception of my bustle and a few minor adjustments on top. The seamstress there is awesome and my dress was so perfect on the day of my wedding that I hated to take it off. The prices in Olga's were very good compared to the other stores and it just had a more comfortable feel to it.

Olga was fantastic!! I found my dress the first day I went in, but I was debating between 2. I ended up leaving and returning the next day. I finally decided, and Olga was patient and helpful the entire time. She is no nonsense and honest, and I really appreciated that about her. The prices of the gowns were great, and I found several dresses that I really liked. I would definitely go back, and I recommend her shop to all you other brides in the Tampa area!

I bought my dress, bridesmaid dresses and had all our alterations done at Olga's. Olga was so lovely to my whole family. The shop did get busy on Saturdays but we timed our visits so we got the one on one attention we wanted. Her prices are fair. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive. I found my dress at another shop a little bit less but I felt so comfortable at Olga's that we went with her just for the experience. I would highly suggest any bride to be check out her shop.

I loved all the people at Olga's. They were so helpful but not pushy. The alterations made my dress fit perfect. They have a great selection of gowns and great sales. ~Nilda

I could not be happier with my experience with the lovely ladies at Olga's. I went to several shops in the area and either felt very generic or very pressured for a sale of an overpriced dress. At Olga's they leave you to browse, I went to the shop several times before I decided on a dress to purchase there. If you need help they're absoultely there to assist, but they don't swarm and pressure. They helped me customize my gown to perfection and their seamstress did an amazing job and created a really unique and beautiful bustle for me. The dress itself was amazingly affordable considering all the beadwork and detail. It was the best value I found in all the shops. The alterations are costly, but very worth it. When you're making that kind of investment and you're trusting some one to cut and sew on a very detailed dress you want the best and I certainly got it. They made the whole experience that much more memorable and I can't wait to drop back in to say hello and show them some pictures!

Olga's Bridal saved me by going above and beyond to find a beautiful wedding gown in less than 3 weeeks from my wedding in Germany. My original dress maker ruined my wedding dress and left me without one less than a month before my wedding. Everyone at Olgas helped to find and alter the perfect dress for me. It was absolutely stunning. Thank you Olgas, you are wonderful!

I really enjoyed the service I got at Olga's Bridal. Don't be taken back by the fact that it isn't a super frilly salon. The ladies there were wonderful and very attentive. I even got my dress altered there, and they did a great job.

I did not get my wedding dress from Olga's, but I had gotten a bridesmaid dress from them in 2006 and decided to look there for my bridesmaid dresses. First, I had to pick my dresses based on the color that my fiance had chosen for his vest and tie, so I had to bring in a hankerchief from the tuxedo place and try to match it to a swatch. They were REALLY helpful with that process! Then, we had planned on only having a best man and maid of honor, but then decided to add a groomsman and bridesmaid, so I had to change my dress order, but they ensured that was not a problem. They were so wonderful with getting my bridesmaid dresses, I decided to get my wedding dress altered there, and they did a fabulous job! They were wonderful throughout the whole process!

They were very helpful and very nice. Had to do dresses in a very short period of time.

Very helpful and knowledgeable.

I liked Olga's as soon as I walked in because they let you pick through the dresses yourself rather than having someone bring you dresses they think you'll like. They were very nice, professional, and the seamstress was amazing. I've heard horror stories about having wedding dresses altered but this woman was fantastic.

I found my dream dress at Olga's - and the price was great, too. The service was excellent. The alterations turned out perfectly. I would recommend Olga's to any bride looking for a great dress and great service.
