Runaway Brides

Designer sample size gowns at deep discounts. The gowns are swanky and posh but the location and interior décor is very much a hole in the wall feel. You grab the gowns from the rack (either a ten or a twelve) and then it’s self service to try them on. There is a consultant to tell you about the gown and clip it up the back. If you find your gown you pay in full and take it with you, same day. It’s then yours to alter. Many of the gowns have rips or pulls that can be repaired during alterations so keep on mind that while the gown might be cheaper up front the alterations could be an additional $ 200-​$ 350.
Bridesmaid dresses are available as well and can actually be ordered in quantity and color.
Overall– if you are on a budget this is your place!

5 stars for the super awesome lady working at the store. She is nice enough to open the shop on Saturday during holiday season for bridal appointments when normally bridal shops are closed until after new years, she also called and confirmed appointments beforehand, which made a good impression on me.
This is an off-​the-​rack store, meaning you buy what you see. They get samples/​extra dresses from B. Ella bridal in Plymouth. I was actually excited to go visit this place because I thought this means that I can get dresses for cheap and I’m not a person who wants people to fuss over me. I was honestly pretty disappointed by the price and selection. A lot of the nicer gowns are still over $ 1000 dollars and many of the ones under $ 1000 are heavy satin and have a lot of gaudy bling, not my style. Maybe I just came at a bad time when the inventory isn’t great, but out of the four stores I visited in Michigan, this was the one I had the least number of gowns worth trying on.

This is not your «Say yes to the dress» upper-​echelon, cater to your every need bridal gown shoppe. And with that, you will not find gowns worth thousands of dollars (or TV cameras for that matter).
Runaway brides is more your «TJ Maxx» for brides, with multiple rows of gowns with a self-​serve attitude… and I LOVE IT!
Every dress in the store is a sample gown from a brand name designer which means you will get quality for a great deal. I found my dress in three visits (1. solo, 2. with MOH, 3. with mother, mother-​in-​law, BM) and it all rang in at under $ 500. For a day where my family and I are spending a significant amount of money, finding a bragging-​inducing deal on my dress I’ll only wear once was a relief.
The saleswoman there is wonderful and provided me with sincere, heartfelt service complete with a hug, which could rival any high end bridal retailer.
Maybe some people will be turned off by the casual atmosphere of this store located in a strip mall or people have enough money to line their taffeta and tulle with dollar bills, but if you want a great dress at an even better deal in a relaxed atmosphere, don’t runaway from this store.

I saw this place while going to get pizza a few doors down and decided to go in. Its a small but cute off bridal and dress store. The dresses are not used they are sample dresses from their other store. I looked around and tried a few dresses on and they have really good deals !! My favorite dress was originally 2000 but they had it marked down to 899 !! They even had my favorite designer Pronovias. Also there are some bridesmaids that you can order !!! Would defiantly recommend !! Especially if you are on budget :)
