Southern Bride Boutique

I did not buy my dress here, rather just had my existing dress altered. Their seamstress, Sam is SO delightful, and she knows what she's doing. She's very talented. The cost seemed about on par with what a big-box bridal shop would cost for alterations, but here I got the personal touch and experience, plus got some 'bling' added as well.

I will never hesitate to mention AGB to all friends who are in the market for occasion dresses or alterations.

Let me start out by saying that I would highly recommend going to this shop. I had been to several places before, but this one takes the cake. A young, exuberant young lady named Cali assisted me and showed great interest in finding me exactly what I wanted. She was polite, professional, and cheery without being over the top fake. One thing I hated at other shops was the staff that just thought everything was "wonderful" and "the best".

Cali started by asking me what I liked and did not like. Then she left us with some beverages in the private room. A few minutes later she reappeared with several dresses and we went to work. She listened to each critique of what I liked and didn't like on each dress. Once she got a real idea of what I liked she came back with more dresses. And low and behold, she found me the ONE. My only complaint was I preferred the sweet heart shape top better. Cali left the room briefly and reappeared with the seamstress. She took a look at the dress I loved, and the top I loved, and told me it was a fairly easy alteration. The staff at Albert Griffin made me feel important and extremely satisfied. In addition to the great staff, they had one of the best gown selections I've seen. I have nothing but praise for this shop.

Albert Griffin is a hidden gem of Lakeland! I went in looking for a prom dress out of season and they were so friendly, not overbearing at all. One of the owners Chris helped us find the dress. Chris and his associate were genuinely so sweet asking questions about my prom and answering every question we had, they truly know what they are doing! We ended up with a beautiful periwinkle beaded gown, could not be happier!

Recently visited for my daughter to try on bridal gowns. The staff is very accommodating and sweet, worked with my daughter to find the perfect dress. These people are genuine and care about the process whether you purchase from them or not, they seem to strive to make the experience an enjoyable one for all involved. We did end up purchasing her bridal gown from here and could not be happier with the selection and service given.

If I could rate this bridal salon higher I would! This is absolutely the BEST shop in Lakeland. I started my day here, went to two other shops, and then came back to purchase my dress. The shop is clean and well lit. The dresses are well kept. Above all, the service that was provided to me by all of the staff was exceptional! I told Katherine what I thought I wanted and she pulled dresses for me. She took note of what I did and did not like and only brought me things that fit that criteria. Everyone was extremely patient, had personality, was helpful, and very informative. I HIGHLY recommend this shop! Do not waste your time anywhere else.

Very sweet and patient staff that worked with my mom and I to try dresses that flattered my figure and were in our budget, a wonderful local shop!

I just have to say our experience was phenomenal! These girls made us feel right at home, very relaxed, laid back atmosphere. Catherine was our main assistant and she was so friendly and outgoing. They just went above and beyond for us and I recommend them to anyone and everyone! Go see them you won't regret it!!!

I'm so glad I found this bridal shop! Katherine is the best, she was so helpful and because of her I found my perfect dress!! I would highly recommend going here first, I wish I would have!

I had a great experience here with trying on bridal gowns. I came with my mom as a walk-in on a weekday afternoon, and we had the place to ourselves. Katherine, the stylist, made this the best gown-shopping experience I've had so far. She was incredibly helpful and unbelievably patient - I was considering one gown with a corset, and both times I tried it on, she happily did it up completely. I didn't end up finding a dress in the end, but the experience was great!

First off, lets just clarify that you had nothing to do with my SO called backup Seamstress... you guys had my dress for 3 month and yes you guys gave me my refund (which you should of) but now I have a week left till my wedding, holes in my dress where YOUR Seamstress ripped out her pins, and my dress is dirty (which now I won't have time to get it cleaned because you guys were jerking me around for so long) but you are right we will have a fabulous day thanks to fabulous Seamstress that is able to save us... we are apparently still one of the lucky ones...at least I got my dress!
