My experience at Nulte's Bridal has been nothing short of fabulous! Michael Nulte is exceptional at what he does. He puts care and passion into every step of the process. For example, he took time to get to know me before selecting dresses. Not only did he find me the most beautiful dress, but it also fits my personality and vision perfectly. It's been a true joy working with him!

My experience with Michael and Nolte's Bridal was nothing short of exceptional! He was extremely helpful with finding my dream dress and planning a stunning wedding.

Michael was warm, welcoming, and very helpful after arriving on a "whim" to peek at what the shop was like and what they had possible offer for my upcoming wedding. Within one hour, I had my dress picked out. When there were issues with the arrival of the dress in a timely manner, Michael went above and beyond to make sure the dress was shipped here. Emily assisted my in choosing which shoes would work best, and helped me select earrings and a bracelet. I am very very pleased with the selections and how they all worked out. Thank you!

Out of all the bridal shops in Kansas City, Nolte's is the best! Wow, I have so many good things to say about this shop and the staff! From the time I booked my appointment, to the day of, the staff were always so willing to work with me. They are so professional and they really are experts! When I walked in, I was greeted by the owner, Mr. Nolte, himself, and I was treated like royalty. No other dresses compare to the quality and designers that Nolte's has. I am so glad and proud to say that I bought my dress from Nolte's!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michael and his gorgeous shop! I had looked all around the city, at several different stores for my dress with no luck. I came to Michael and he immediately understood my vision and knew exactly what I wanted. I tried on one dress at Nolte's and that is all it took! They have the most fabulous team there to get you the most perfect dress for your big day!

I purchased my dress at Nolte's Bridal. Michael helped me select my perfect wedding dress and my bridesmaids dress for my sister. We both have very different body types and style but Michael helped us choose dresses that flattered our body types & fit with my wedding vision. Alterations were easy with Candy. My sister was 8 months pregnant at the time of my wedding and Candy helped to make the dress we bought before she was pregnant work for her baby bump. Michael and his assistant Emma-Lea are experienced professionals that provide invaluable help in finding your dress.

Michael Nolte helped both my daughters select their dresses. They have very different body types and styles. Michael helped them choose flattering silhouettes, consider the design/style of the ceremony, and made suggestions to create beautifully unique ensembles. Some of Michael's suggestions became the most treasured parts of the trousseau. One daughters dress required very few modifications, the other needed the neckline modified and lining added-Nolte's Bridal ordered both dresses perfectly.
The alterations by Candy are professional-one bride only needed one fitting, the other required several-Candy works until the dress looks custom. Emma-Lea provides excellent advice on all finishing touches. There are thousands of wedding dresses & many shops. Make your life easy-go to Nolte's Bridal. Michael will help your daughter find the dress that looks lovely, compliments the wedding venue and makes her feel beautiful. Having an experienced professional guiding your daughter is invaluable-you will leave Nolte's knowing your child will look amazing.

Nolte's was SO GREAT! I cannot express the amount of professionalism, respect, and fun that this bridal salon has. The dresses were of amazing quality and Barbie was fantastic. She worked with me considering the wants and needs that I had and it was just such a great experience. I can see why this business has been around for years and it truly shows.
They really know what they are doing and take care of you from day one and all the way through until your wedding day! I definitely suggest Nolte's! Thank you for selling me the most perfect dress! Kaela Stratman

I recently got in engaged and shopping for wedding dresses seemed very overwhelming. I had made appointments at multiple salons, with Nolte's Bridal being the first. Mike Nolte helped me during my appointment and took the time to sit down with me, my mom and my friend to get to know us on a personal level. After talking with me about my wedding and visions for my dress, he selected a few gowns for me to try on. Amazingly, the first dress he selected for me to try on was PERFECT.
He had taken all my ideas and with his detailed eye for fashion, he chose a dress that was best for my style, budget, and body type. I would highly recommend Nolte's Bridal in finding the absolute best dress for a bride's special day.
