Happy Endings

Jessica Cohen Rollins

"I'm not one of those girls who has always imagined her dream wedding or dream dress. In fact, I don't really like shopping and I'm extremely indecisive. The minute I walked into Kelly's closet, however, I was transformed. The dresses were stunning and unusual. The employees kind, unassuming, low-pressure, and appropriately opinionated. And I felt pampered but not so much it made me uncomfortable. In short, it was perfect. They did not bat an eye when I came back 4 (or was it 5 times) before choosing. They did not flinch when I made some changes. The tailoring process was perfect. And the dress, well, what can I say? I only wish I could wear it again... 20 more times. I've never felt so beautiful."

"I was never one of those girls that had always envisioned her wedding and knew exactly what she wanted. I started looking for a dress with no idea what I would end up with, just going on my instincts and the help of a great friend. I visited a couple of other bridal shops before Kelly's Closet and felt rushed around and basically told what kind of dress I should want. None of it was fun and it wasn't the enjoyable experience I was looking for. Kelly's Closet was our last stop of the day and it couldn't have worked out more perfectly. Their shop is cute, comfortable and calm. I didn't feel pressured or rushed. My consultant was fantastic in encouraging me to try on whatever I wanted. Everything in the store is so gorgeous, I could have chosen any of them! For a girl with no expectations, I absolutely knew "the one" once I put it on. It just put a huge smile on my face. It was so simple to choose a veil and schedule all of my alterations. It was almost too easy compared to horror stories I've heard from friends. If you don't want the hassle of pushy salespeople, tons of tacky dresses to sift through, or a chaotic experience, Kelly's Closet is seriously the best!"

"I could not imagine finding or buying my dress anywhere else. Kelly’s Closet was absolutely perfect for me and is unlike any other bridal store that I have ever been to. I had shopped at other Atlanta stores with several of my friends for their dresses, but Kelly’s was the first place I looked after getting engaged…and as soon as I left, I knew that I didn’t need to go anywhere else. The environment is so laid-back; the dress selection was just what I was looking for; and the people were amazing. I have recommended Kelly’s Closet to everyone I know. I truly think that any Atlanta bride is doing herself a huge disservice by not at least heading to Candler Park to check it out"

Lauren Blanton Lantrip

"It has been just over 3 years since I first walked into Kelly’s Closet, and I still can’t stop talking about my experience. I didn’t know exactly what kind of dress I was looking for at that time, but after my first appointment, I knew I wanted my dress to be from Kelly’s. I was looking for something traditional yet different, and I found just that. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect dress. Kelly and the staff were so pleasant to work with. The shag carpet, the friendly people, and the gorgeous dresses left a lasting impression. A big thanks to Kelly’s for making this decision so easy!"

Rebecca Godbey Cummings

"I wanted it all-- a gorgeous, unique and sophisticated dress that would be ready for me to elope in after a short 10 week engagement AND an old-fashioned fairy tale dress-buying experience-- and Kelly's Closet delivered. I loved Kelly's sentiments on this website, so I arrived for my first and only dress-buying appointment with a good friend, a bottle of champagne, and a very specific idea about what I wanted. An hour later, and only halfway through the bubbly, I settled on a gorgeous Nicole Miller dress and a plan to chop off all of the layers of silk at the knee. Meredith and the seamstress completely understood my vision, executed it perfectly, and the dress was spectacular! If only finding the perfect shoes had been so easy..."

Julie Brown Williams

"Like every little girl, I had thought about every detail of my wedding day, with the dress being the most important aspect. My mother, now mother in law and I drove to Atlanta on a mission to find the perfect dress. Kelly's Closet was the second stop on the list. When we drove up, my mother in law pointed out a dress in the window... I admit I was hesitant at first. I am picky and know exactly what I like without even trying anything on. I broke down and tried the dress on; I instantly burst into tears and became speechless. All I could do was shake my head in excitement that I had finally found the dress I was to wear to marry my best friend. Kelly's Closet was everything and more with their personable and caring staff and unique selection of gowns. Thank you for dressing me in the gown I will remember forever!"

Elaine MacCorkle Davis

"I can't imagine a more fitting dress for the mountain-meadow wedding I had always dreamed of or a more delightful bunch of women to work with in the process of finding that dress. From the moment I walked into the Closet, I knew I had found a place that fit my desire for something a little different. Charming, timeless, down-to-earth, cheery, and beautiful, I will continue to recommend Kelly's Closet and remain thankful that they fit into the collection of wonderful memories that culminated in marrying my very best friend!"

Carly Newman

"I was one of those brides who was sure they did not want a traditional white wedding dress. Yet after months of searching for that unique dress I realized that my ideal dress was not sitting in a department store or a boutique. I happened to be home in Atlanta for the holidays and my maid of honor suggested trying one particular bridal store that she heard offered unique bridal gowns. Although I was skeptical, I agreed to try out the traditional route. Well, I really could not have been happier with my decision. Literally from the time I walked in, I felt at ease. Everyone there makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. I still tell people the easiest part of my wedding planning was finding my dress- I saw it on the rack, tried it on, and my decision was made. So thank you all again for providing such a unique experience that made wedding dress shopping so easy and fun!"

Carrie Walrond Hood

"I just wanted to say that you are ALL such wonderful people to work with... I really mean that! From my first appointment with Audrey, to coming back in and changing my mind :), to my fittings, to how nice you were every time I came by and throughout all of my indeciveness... you were all so wonderful and helpful every step of the way."

"It was so great to not only find the perfect dress to match my style and personality, but to find the perfect boutique was just the icing on the cake! So thank you for everything you did for me... you all were a blessing!"

Annie Seier

"When I got engaged the first thing I did was buy wedding magazines. I had to find the most perfect and most original dress. I found a designer that I liked and kept seeing the name Kelly's Closet attached to that designer. My mom and I showed up for the appointment and the moment I walked in the door I KNEW that I would need to cancel those other appointments.

I walked in and felt like I had walked into my sister's closet - even though I do not have a sister, I imagine that is what it would feel like: warm, inviting, comfortable, safe... There were so many thoughts running through my mind but they were gone immediately when Alisa helped me pick out dresses to try on - she was my sister for the day. I found the dress of my dreams- one that fit my personality and my wedding exactly. I wanted to wear it home and wear it every day until my wedding and to the honeymoon. After I decided on the dress (and my mom got hers as well), I walked out of those doors feeling prettier and more special than I had since the day I got engaged.

Everyone at Kelly's Closet made me feel like my wedding was the only wedding that mattered, and that is what a bride wants to feel. Even though there are many people that enter and exit Kelly's Closet daily, you will feel like you are the only one that matters. The most amazing part of that, and what makes them so special is that they make each and every person have that feeling."

Kate Hanson

"Kelly's Closet was the first shop I went to in my search for the perfect dress. I visited several others after that to get the experience, but everywhere else paled in comparison to Kelly's in dress selection and service.

The environment is so inviting and pleasant, and it's just fun to browse through all the unique and beautiful dresses. The most important thing to me was that I found a one-of-a-kind dress at Kelly's; at other shops, you know they've probably sold the same dress you're wearing to several other brides.

The staff is so wonderful that you'll feel like you're shopping with great friends. Kelly's Closet was one of the best experiences I had while planning my wedding. The beautiful dress that I found there made me feel the way every bride should on her wedding day. This shop is for brides who are tired of the same old dresses you see in all the magazines and want something special."

Mary Williams

"Long before I ever thought about getting married, I happened into Kelly's for a special occasion dress. I was wowwed by her collection of beautiful wedding gowns, and thought, even if I never get married, one of these dresses will be mine some day. So it turns out that my boyfriend was crazy enough to ask me to marry him, and there was no question where to go for a dress: I went to Kelly's and only Kelly's.

Kelly and her girls were amazing to work with, very fun, yet no nonsense. They all know what they are talking about, so it is best to listen. They helped me find a gown, hairpiece and wrap. All items were made with extreme precision and artful taste.

The outcome was wonderful! Not only did I get a dress that fit perfectly to my body, but it matched my style and personality, making my wedding day comfortable and luxurious. Oh! and the bonus: Due to the unruly quirkiness of my dress, with all its hoops and swoops, Kelly came to dress me at the church. Whew! That made me feel so good! There are certain days where you need all the help you can get, and this act of kindness was a god sent.

I am very happy with the fact that Kelly will not settle for mediocracy. She is as sharp and spirited as the clothes she surrounds herself with. Thank you , Kelly!"

"I can't rave enough about Kelly's Closet! After visiting tons of other stores, Kelly's was like a breath of fresh air - the staff aren't just friendly, they genuinely care about you and want you to enjoy every moment of your experience. Kelly herself loves to come and play "dress-up" with you, encouraging you to try new things and see yourself in a different light.

The service I received was impeccable and the DRESSES!! Each one is exquisite and unique, so different from the "same old" dresses I saw everywhere else. My dress was so comfortable it felt like a nightgown! Since I got married, I have brought my best friend and my younger sister back and everyone in the store remembered me. Kelly's Closet was the best part of my wedding planning experience!"

Alyssa Kaufman

"Planning a wedding can be very stressful, but stepping into Kelly's Closet is anything but! Everyone there treats you great and makes you feel like a queen while at the same time 'keeping it real.'

I ended up buying my dress, my veil, and my wedding day jewelry all at Kelly's! For all brides sick of the giant shops that treat you like a dollar sign, Kelly's is your answer. From the moment you step inside the relaxed and inviting shop, you need look no further than the 'rules of the closet' to know you are in the right place."

Alix Nadi

"I visited several other bridal stores in Atlanta before I came to Kelly's Closet and the difference was truly amazing. Kelly's is a fabulous experience that every bride in Georgia should experience. You are treated like a true princess without any of the snottiness you can find at some of the other stores. Kelly herself is absolutely wonderful... I felt like I had made a new best friend after I met her! She really listens to what you like, what you don't like, what your wedding is about....and works hard to find THE dress for you.

She suggested a dress for me that on the rack I really did not like...it had a lace bodice and I HATE lace, but she really wanted me to try it. And wouldn't you know it...it was perfect and I fell in love. Kelly also had the neckline re-designed for me at no extra charge, making it truly my dream dress; in addition, she helped design a custom veil for me that is stunning. I cannot say enough how wonderful my experience was at Kelly's Closet and I have taken all of my friends back as they get engaged and begin their own search for the Perfect Dress. Thank you Kelly!"
