About Lancaster Bridal

What  makes Lancaster Bridal
so unique?


Lancaster Bridal is unlike any bridal salon you've seen—or heard of.

A well kept secret

No fancy picture windows.  Just a red door and canopy on a quiet side street. You would drive right past it if you didn't know what was inside.

But for those brides that make an appointment to visit with us, you will discover a place where everything is possible.  A place where wedding dreams come true.

At your service

The salon is tucked in a corner of the Janell Berté bridal gown workshops in Lancaster, PA.  The same workshop that creates hundreds of gowns for brides, dignitaries and celebrities across the country, is now available for you.  You've seen her gowns in national bridal magazines, stage productions and motion pictures.  Come see these stunning creations in person.

Wedding gowns are a bit like perfume

Have you ever gone to a perfume counter?  You try one fragrance, and then another.  Within a few minutes, your nose "forgets" the first fragrance you try.  Before long, your nose becomes frustrated — and many times you settle on a perfume — not because its the best one for you — but because its the last one you tried. 

In many ways, wedding gowns are like perfume — after trying on twenty gowns, you have trouble discerning the distinctions that make one gown better than another.

The workshops at Lancaster Bridal contain hundreds of designer gowns, created by Janell Berté and sold through a network of select bridal salons nationwide.  We likely have the largest collection of bridal gowns outside of New York City.  But in most cases, you will never need to see them.  Instead, we take the time to listen.  We listen to your wedding plans.  We listen about your tastes.  We listen to what you've already tried and viewed.  Then, and only then do we start the process of finding your perfect gown.

One-on-one personal service

If you've been to other bridal salons, you know how hectic it can become.  A crowded space with a steady stream of distractions.  Your consultant is under pressure to "get you in and out" in a limited amount of time before the next bride arrives.  Not so at Lancaster Bridal.

We welcome you to a private, relaxing environment.  You are the only bride.  (That's why appointments are required.)  Sit.  Relax a few minutes and enjoy a refreshment.  Tell us about your wedding, about your likes (heck, tell us about your groom!) — tell us your dislikes and your budget.  Tell us what you've seen  Then, and only then, the magic (and the fun) begins.

Endless Possibilities

We select a few gowns to try to begin.  Most will be in harmony with your consultation — but we may pull a gown that will surprise you.  With more than 25 years experience and thousands of brides from coast-to-coast, you can safely open yourself to ideas you may never considered.  You like the skirt from one gown, but the bodice of another?  Not a problem.  We can create combinations that no other salon can offer.  Lower the neckline?  A plunging back?  Less beading?  Just ask us!  It's your dream wedding — we can help make it a reality.

Slow down and save time

Because most bridal salons are a rushed, frenzied setting can brides become frustrated, never finding exactly what they're looking for.  Under trained staff often let you fend for yourself.  We suggest another way.  Slow down.  Taking the time to work with a true bridal expert will make all the difference.  Many brides find their perfect gown on their first visit with us — without any high pressured sales.  The result?  Most brides actually save time by coming to Lancaster Bridal.  (Be sure to check out our 10 Great Reasons to shop with us!)
