Flutter Boutique

I had high hopes for this bridal boutique based on the reviews but was highly disappointed. As you walk in you are directed to remove your shoes and out on a pair of their dirty used slippers. The entry way was very small and our group of four had to take turns removing our shoes because there was no room! We climbed the stairs to the second level and and though small, the boutique was very cute and provided a quiet, private atmosphere. There was very little selection and they only carried sample sizes in a 10 and smaller. Our bride managed to pick 5 dresses from the very small selection, but unfortunately none of them fit and we weren’t able to find anything remotely close to what she was interested in. We maybe spent 15 minutes here.

Nice atmosphere but very limited choices. Staff pleasant but if you don’t care for wearing used slippers don’t go

I can’t say enough good things about Flutter! I had THE best experience there, hands-​down. Sarah (who sadly doesn’t work there anymore, but the rest of the ladies are equally awesome) gave us SUCH a wonderful experience and truly exceptional customer service. She was so good at helping me define my style, and finding dresses or adding touches to dresses that really made them just perfect. She did a masterful job being helpful about the different dresses, but not pushy — helping me figure out what I liked, but not trying to TELL me what I liked :) She wasn’t at all trying to make a sale, truly just trying to help me find the perfect wedding dress for me. The private room they put us in made the whole experience feel even more special. I ended up finding the perfect dress at Flutter and am so happy with their service! I would recommend Flutter to ANYONE. Such a cute shop, really fun and warm vibe, incredible customer service, great selection of unique dresses at pricepoints that won’t break your budget. Plus — champagne for your whole party if you buy a dress there! If you go anywhere for dress shopping, GO HERE! :)

My first (and last) stop wedding dress shopping was Flutter because they had several of the bridesmaid dresses that also come in white. I didn’t really want a full on wedding dress due to the less formal wedding we were planning. They let me try on all the different versions without trying to sway me to an actual wedding dress. However, there happened to be a truck show happening with a discount and I found an actual wedding dress that was so unique and fit me so well. I am still getting compliments from people on my dress. I even had strangers taking pictures of me on my wedding day! The first version of the dress that arrived was stained so they called me to let me know and ordered a replacement. Pickup was super easy and they gave a great recommendation for alterations and discount for cleaning.

I had the most amazing experience shopping for wedding gowns at Flutter Boutique, I only wish I had come here earlier. Shopping for wedding dresses was much more difficult then I had anticipated and Flutter was the 10^th place I came in the Twin Cities area. I really wanted to have a great feeling and know for sure when trying on the dress that it was «the one», and I didn’t get that until I came here. Sarah and Kolby made my entire experience so comfortable, welcoming, and personal. I had been to a number of places where the staff and atmosphere made the entire experience awful and this was perfect!
I am so relieved that I finally found my dress and happy that it turned out to be a great time as well.

I initially was introduced to Flutter through a friend of mine who bought her wedding dress here and then subsequently found the perfect bridesmaid dresses for the the occasion as well.
I was emailed about my bridesmaid dress arriving a few months after ordering and they held it until I could pick it up about a month later (summer has been quite hectic with a lot of changes!) so I was very appreciative. When I scheduled my appointment to pick it up, I noticed that they were having a sample sale and as I am newly engaged (but haven’t dress shopped at all yet), I figured I’d take mom along in the event that something caught my eye. And I’m so thankful she came!
Sarah was so very helpful and attentive to our needs regarding styles, price range, comfort, etc. It was exciting to try on dresses for the first time and we were super comfortable at Flutter. Sarah pulled many sample sale and full priced dresses so I could get a feel of what worked best and urged me to get a bit out of my comfort zone stylistically without putting on pressure but still listened to my wishes which I appreciate because I ended up with a style that I swore was not for me. I was deciding between a full priced Theia and a sample sale Ti Adora that was no longer being carried at the boutique. After going between the two, getting accurate pricing for each and deciding it wasn’t too impulsive to buy a dress during my first and only appointment, I went for the Ti Adora. Sarah waited for me to say the words of being «in love» and set on the dress before encouraging me that it was a good fit for me. She even said I should sleep on it for a bit if I was undecided but I just couldn’t leave the sample knowing it could be swept up by another bride! My mom and I left with the dress (after a glass of champagne) and I am still so convinced that we made the right choice with the dress and shopping at Flutter. I received a personal, handwritten thank you note afterwards as well which was just icing on the cake.
Thank you for being such an attentive group of ladies with an excellent, interesting selection for brides and bridesmaids. I can’t wait to come back to find dresses for my bridesmaids as well!

This place is a little hard to find as not a ton of advertising. We had an appointment to shop for my daughter’s wedding with all the bridesmaids. We had a large and rowdy group for certain and they handled us very well. They tucked us in a back room that was lovely and private and let us just enjoy our time. i brought some sparkly to drink and early morning treats. With a large wedding party and different shapes and sizes they were most helpful in letting us pull anything we wanted and a great time was had by all. We were able to look at swatch samples of colors and fabrics also. It is amazing that when looking at gowns in photos on pinterest how different they can look up close. Our front runner quickly became a big NO due to the fabric. We found an dark horse of a dress that the gal pulled and said try this one. It looked good on all body types and came in a nice variety of colors so we found a winner. The prices are within the range we were expecting. My daughter said it was a good experience and if the bride is happy all is well.

My experience at Flutter was all smiles! Not only because I found my wedding dress (and what a deal it was!) but the staff, especially the owner were so friendly and helpful. The owner really seemed to understand the look I was trying to accomplish without me having to spell it out. I appreciated her knowledge of all the designers of the dresses. My mother and friends also commented on the cute space and again, friendly staff. I would recommend Flutter to any bride!

Kendall was so helpful to all the bridesmaids!!! She kept in contact with us on our orders and is so nice. Great place to buy a dress from

Flutter is a beautiful little, locally and privately owned, bridal boutique near downtown Minneapolis that tries to focus on the experience as well as the dresses.
My friend was in a jam as her wedding approached and she couldn’t find ‘the one’ dress that was going to make her day special.
The Flutter folks did the trick! A few mimosas and a dozen dresses later — SHAZAM!!! — she found the dress!
As I’m just a hairy backed dude who can’t fully appreciate lovely little shops like this I can only judge on the results — the bride was super happy and she looks AMAZING on her wedding day. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Flutter got on my bad side early, and had a hard time digging out.
My mom and sister both have schedules that are even more merciless than mine, so before I emailed to request an appointment I checked Flutter’s website, and it said they schedule appointments seven days a week for the convenience of brides. H’ok.
So after many texts/​emails, mom/​sister/​me landed on a date that would work for all three of us. I emailed to schedule, and after 24 hours hadn’t heard back. I called to follow up, and the lady on the phone told me they don’t schedule appointments on the day we were free because they’re closed on Tuesdays. OH. Add it to yer website, dude.
She said they could possibly, maybe fit me in but their boss was going to be at a big show, it’d be a stretch, no idea if it could work, yadda yadda and it turns out it didn’t. Fine. Went around and around with mom/​sister again and landed on another date. Called them back, left a message, and didn’t hear back for DAYS.
When I’m trying to schedule a time to come peruse merchandise that is worth thousands of dollars, that is going to need multiple follow ups anyways if everything goes well (ordering dress, trying on dress again, picking up dress, etc) I do not want to have to chase you down. AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT. Had to call back again, leave a testier message, and then finally got an appointment booked.
I went really hoping this would turn around, but it didn’t. Turns out they do multiple appointments at the same time in a pretty tight space. It meant that while I was standing on the platform, looking at a dress in the mirror, I was SURROUNDED by the other bride’s entourage, who were digging through the dresses two feet away, jabbering with each other, and walking right in front of me. Totally not comfortable.
I will say that the dress selection is very unique, interesting, and affordable– and that the owner was lovely and very gracious. I actually came really close to getting my dress here. But the execution just jacked it all up.
