Beautiful wedding dresses with excellent service

by dendres

Cicada bridal is wonderful. I am a former Seattlite now living in Utah. After looking through all of the shops in Salt Lake City, I could not find a single wedding dress I liked. On a trip to Seattle, I stopped in at Cicada and found the perfect dress style--the Lucy. The dress was exactly what I imagined for my wedding dress. It was elegant and simple. Since the floor version was too short, I ordered a customized version of the Lucy dress. Elizabeth did an amazing job. I only needed one fitting on a second trip to Seattle and with a few minor alterations, I received my dress in the mail just a few months later. It fit perfectly and looked fabulous. I received so many complements on the dress at my wedding. When I was in for the fitting, the service was excellent. Elizabeth answered all of my questions about the dress and helped me pick out the perfect jewelry to go with it. My best guy friend came with me to the fitting and was so impressed with the dress, the service, and the shop in general. In a nutshell, cicada dresses are unique, elegant, and beautifully made. The service is excellent. And, they saved me from having to settle for a big, poofy, frilly, not-my style wedding dress. I'll definitely be back for more cicada--not for another wedding dress, but for their great selection of party dresses.

Gorgeous work, reasonable prices, *fantastic* customer service

by bhattrm

I had my custom wedding dress made here and was incredibly impressed with the designer's skill and their customer service. The train of the dress incorporated sari fabric; when they sketched and priced the dress I had not yet purchased the sari. The fabric I later purchased turned out to be really hard to work with. They had to alter the design, really work with the structure of the dress, etc, and through the whole experience Elizabeth was incredibly helpful, gracious, and able to solve any creative problem. They even honored the originally quoted price, which I couldn't believe given all the extra work they had to do. The finished product was gorgeous and all for a price less than that of most of the dresses you could buy at a typical store. Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!

  • Pros: Design skills, incredible value and customer service
  • Cons: Parking is difficult, but that's just downtown Seattle

If I knew I could have a dress like this, I would have gotten married years ago!

by Mellicia

This place is completely unbelievable. I selected the top of one dress, the bottom of another and the fabric from a third for my wedding dress. I was a little apprehensive because the fabric has feathers on it.... which, let's face it, can be super cool or completely out of control. But, the amazing people at Cicada went with it and it's the most amazing dress ever. It fit PERFECTLY with my very first fitting and has the Great Gatsby written all over it. The best part is that the dress is completely "me" and didn't cost much more than buying one off the floor! I never thought I'd be able to find something that suited me so perfectly. Or, that I would be able to have SO much input on the dress.

If you are getting married, you'll never find another place that will give you this level of input and quality. You absolutely MUST go.

  • Pros: Options, Service, Value, Professionalism
