If you're trying on dresses in the City, you MUST add them to your list. The space is beautiful, extremely organized, and very well cared for. They even have you remove your shoes, which speaks to how clean and thoughtfully maintained everything is. There is plenty of room for brides and their guests, and the large mirrors make it easy to really see each dress from every angle. They have a large selection of dresses in different styles, and a very large selection of veils and accessories. I felt the dresses were the extremely clean compared to some other bridal salons. My appointment felt very personalized from start to finish. Charlotte, my bridal stylist, was absolutely wonderful!! She made me feel comfortable right away and was so easy to talk to and work with. She gave thoughtful advice, asked great questions to help narrow down what I was looking for, and was able to find additional dresses that matched my style really well. She even found one of my favorite dresses of the entire process. She explained how the dress could be customized and helped show me what a strapless version would look like. Charlotte also went above and beyond by helping take photos and videos from all angles so I could really see what each dress looked like. She even took a video of me walking around in my favorite dress, which was so helpful. Her communication was excellent throughout, and I really appreciated how attentive, kind, and knowledgeable she was. She knew so many details about the dresses and what customizations were possible. She followed-up with a detailed email on what next steps would look like, and I didn't feel pressure to purchase a dress on the spot. Wedsing Atelier is also Suzanne Neville's authorized flagship store in the US, and those dresses are extremely high quality and have such a secure internal corset. Highly recommend trying them on. Overall, I had such a great experience at Wedding Atelier and would HIGHLY recommend it to any bride looking for a clean, organized, beautiful boutique with a truly personalized experience!

Wedding Atelier - New York City…read more Wedding Atelier completely ruined my dress during alterations. The cups that were sewn in were two sizes too small, causing my bust to bulge out of the dress. The underwire cut into my chest, pushing one breast to the right and the other upward. With every fitting, the situation got worse rather than better -- leaving me in tears with my wedding only a week away. I ultimately had to take the dress to another seamstress just to salvage it. To make matters worse, after three fittings, they had not even completed a hem. Wedding Atelier charged $1,300 for alterations -- payment required at the time of purchase -- and refused to refund a single dollar despite the damage they caused. The owner, Carrie, was completely unsympathetic and unwilling to take any accountability for what happened. She is unethical,. If you want to protect yourself from unnecessary heartache and stress in the lead-up to your wedding day, I strongly urge you to take your business elsewhere.

They charged $50 to ship it and were VERY flexible - I had some back-and-forth about the shipping date and they couldn't have been more gracious about it. They had a wider selection than I thought they would. I think this sort of place is just inevitably going to come down to the luck of the draw - you either find a dress you love there, or you don't. Or you do, but it's the wrong size and can't be altered, etc. I worked mostly with Yolanda, who was great! She really helped me make up my mind, especially if I didn't like something and was just trying to "talk myself into it". I recommend her wholeheartedly. The dress I ended up buying was one she found and pulled off the rack for me. She has a great eye!

Insane experience, like criminal…read more Went to shop for a dress with a very lowkey bride not expecting the world but still expecting a nice experience and hopefully to walk out with a dress she liked, instead we were immediately treated like we were inconveniencing Mindy by simply being there on time for our approved appointment. The bride's plus ones (they graced her with allowing 4) were met with a strict rule that only one could be standing at a time and the rest had to remain seated and couldn't help pick out dresses, honestly shocked we were permitted to speak at all or even keep our eyes open, thankfully they let us breathe their air. We were allowed to pick 8 dresses, that's fine and was communicated to us ahead of time, but then were rushed by Mindy and forced to stop looking and start trying stuff on before we picked out our allotment because we couldn't get through the selection quick enough with guests taking turns to look. Could have been done sooo much faster if we could have divide and conquered, but again whatever just a suggestion. We felt like middle school students with a teacher that hated children, but in reality we were civilized adults with an employee that hated joy. The only time Mindy showed us any nicety was when she opened the door for us to get the hell out. Worst part was we found a great dress we loved and didn't buy it purely because the entire party agreed we couldn't give them any business in case Mindy got a commission. The 1 star is for the bowl of coffee-flavored candy I snagged a handful of so the entire experience wouldn't be a bar-on-the-floor, kick-me-in-the-crotch, put-a-gun-to-my-temple-and-pull-the-trigger failure. Also dress prices seemed arbitrary beyond belief. Bride to be mentioned that the one she liked was outside the budget and they immediately took $1,000 off so I guess if you're still going to shop there after reading this you should try that whether it's true or not so they profit as little as possible from the tattered, stained, unkept, and sweated on dresses they give you the honor to try on. Normally I'd say "do better" to the business but really I just want to say "avoid at all costs" to patrons. Take your business to Vivienne Atelier and ask for Cori. Saved the day

I got to go to Kleinfeld yesterday and it was such an amazing experience. Growing up, I was a huge…read moreSay Yes to the Dress fan and I happened to be in NYC for a work trip so this seemed like the perfect time to go and see if I could find my dress. My consultant was Debra and right off the back, she was lovely! She had such a great sense of humor and allowed me to be open and honest and what I was looking for. We stayed within my budget (yay!) and she was so patient and helpful. I did end up finding my dress, which I didn't expect to because the dress that I ended up buying was VERY different than what I came in wanting (sounds like an episode of the show, am I right?) but it was the perfect dress for me. Debra was legit! The staff was so lovely and kind. It was a perfect day.

I'm giving Kleinfeld 5 stars because they do have an incredible selection of dresses, and it is…read moredefinitely a memorable place to shop. There is a huge variety of styles, designers, and options, which is great if you want to try on a wide range of dresses in one appointment. That said, the overall experience felt much less personal than some of the other bridal salons I visited in New York City. It felt a bit like a factory of brides, with a giant room where many brides are trying on dresses at the same time. The mirrors were also surprisingly small and free-standing, and I felt very close up to them, which made it hard to really see myself clearly in the dresses. I also would have liked to step off the podium more to see how the dresses looked naturally, but my stylist seemed to prefer that I stay on it (and of course dresses tend to look better when you're elevated on a podium). The selection is definitely a major strength, and I understand why Kleinfeld is so well known. However, there are other bridal salons in New York City that feel much more personalized, spacious, non-judgmental, and relaxed. I also noticed that some of the stylists standing around elsewhere came across as judgmental, which took away from the overall atmosphere a bit. Overall, I'm still giving 5 stars because of the dress variety and the iconic experience, but I would say brides should go in knowing that it may feel less intimate and personalized than other boutiques in the city. I went on a weekday to avoid paying for the experience. I'd recommend others do the same, as I don't think the fee is worth it. My stylist also was the least knowledgable about dresses compared to other salons.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience buying my wedding gown from Shareen. For…read moresome background, I'm kind of introverted, and I'm not comfortable being the center of attention. So the whole bride thing makes me a little anxious. On top of that, this is my second marriage, and I come from a pretty conservative family. I was looking for a nontraditional gown for my small, intimate wedding. My fiancé and I planned our wedding pretty quickly, and I started to realize I'd have to choose a gown quickly too, so there would be enough time to have it tailored, etc. I was panicking about it one night, trying to figure out where to go, what to wear. The idea of going to some big commercial dress shop and buying into the whole wedding business just grossed me out. My fiancé saw me worrying and decided to help me, searching for where I could go to get a "different" type of gown. One of the first places he found in a google search was Shareen's shop. I looked at some photos and emailed her that night. The next morning I had a response, and that afternoon I had an appointment in the shop. Shareen is warm, friendly and welcoming. It was SUCH a relief to immediately feel at ease, when other places just made me feel uncomfortable and out of place. She asked me a few questions to get a sense of my style, then immediately pulled out a bunch of dresses and started trying them on me. I loved all of them. They are delicate, beautiful, and make you feel wonderful. On top of that, Shareen designs all of her gowns, so she knew what would flatter my body type. The other shop I tried was much more commercial, and I felt like all the dresses were designed for willowy model types. Shareen's dresses made me feel beautiful and feminine, and not self-conscious. I liked 2 on my first visit, then returned a few days later with my mom and my close friend. They liked the same ones but weren't completely sold on them. On a whim, Shareen grabbed another dress (something I definitely wouldn't have tried on my own, and boom, it was the one. The buying experience was perfect. Because she designs all the dresses, Shareen can tweak them to fit your individual body. For instance, I have Cuban hips, and need a little more room, so she combined two sizes of dresses- one for the bodice, and one for the bottom part. The slip was altered so the straps were slightly wider (so I can wear a bra), and slightly higher in the middle (it plunged a little too much for me at first). NO commercial bridal shop will do this for you and include it in the cost of the dress. I had multiple fittings, and she made sure that every last detail was perfect. My dress is so lovely, I can't wait to wear it. Bottom line, if you are a nontraditional (or self-conscious) bride like me, Shareen is your shop. She is sweet, helpful, and a perfectionist. You will leave her shop feeling affirmed, and well cared for. I actually cried my eyes out when I picked up my dress today. I don't usually get emotional over anything wedding-related, but I had such a great experience, I will really miss my appointments at Shareen's shop now that we are done. I will definitely keep in touch, and next time I need a gown for an event, I have my eye on a beautiful red gown she has in the shop...

From the moment I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by how large and beautiful the store was. Then I got paired with the AMAZING Rosa, and she truly made the entire experience! When I tell you she made me feel beautiful, comfortable, and never pressured, I mean it. From the very first gown we tried on all the way to me saying YES TO THE DRESS, Rosa listened to what I liked, stayed well within my budget, and somehow always knew exactly what to pull next. We found my dress and were even able to add a few custom details to make it feel even more like me. I am SO happy with my choice and cannot wait to see the final product! The owner was also amazing, and honestly everyone in the store was so welcoming. But Rosa was truly the sweetest--patient, kind, knowledgeable, and such a huge part of making this experience so special. Thank you, Rosa, for helping me find my dress!

I originally bought a dress from Revolve, tried it on, and it just wasn't right. I needed the dress for an event coming up very soon so I kept scouring the internet hoping to find something better. I ended up finding the most beautiful copper dress on Amsale's website with overnight shipping to just barely get to me in time. The employee at the NYC branch made sure the dress was processed quickly and was very helpful. I received the dress the day before the event and it is a truly stunning dress for a great price and fit like a glove. I purchased the correct size based on the fit check tool which was spot on. It doesn't just give you what will fit - it tells you based on if you want a snug or looser fit based on your own body measurments. Great experience overall!

SAID YES TO THE DRESS!…read more I had an incredible experience at WONA in New York City. I booked an appointment for 5 Pm on a Friday, and from the moment I walked in, I was so impressed by the space. It is extremely large, clean, and beautifully decorated. They have two completely separate, huge rooms, so you are in total privacy from any other bride, which made the appointment feel really personal and calm. It was by far the largest room I had been in at any bridal salon in New York City. The guest area was also beautiful, with a large, gorgeous couch, and the actual fitting room was huge (definitely the most space I had anywhere while trying on dresses). My stylist was Sylvia, and she was absolutely amazing. She knew the dresses inside and out, answered all of my questions immediately, and seemed to know exactly which dresses I would want to try on. She was extremely personable and gave the perfect amount of space for me to figure out what I liked about each dress, while also offering helpful suggestions and options for what could be changed. I ended up wanting to personalize a dress with detachable sleeves and a non-sparkle lace, and Sylvia knew all of the customization options perfectly. She showed me exactly what the changes could look like and even brought out the identical lace without sparkles so I could really visualize it. She was so patient with me and handled everything perfectly, offering suggestions without ever being overbearing or pushy. She let me walk around in the dress, sit down, and do various poses. I really love many of their dresses as they have the corset back, making them so secure and giving breathability. They have so many incredible dresses with different styles, so it truly is a great place to find a dress. I later came back for a "say yes" appointment with some of my bridesmaids as I was between two dresses, and unfortunately Sylvia wasn't there. However, Hafsa was there and was just as wonderful. She answered so many questions I had about the boning, personalization, timeline, bustle, etc. I ended up saying yes to the dress, and the team was very patient while answering all of my questions about shipping, timing, alterations, etc and letting me read through the entire contract. I had seen some reviews mentioning concerns about the post-purchase experience, so I was a little nervous after purchasing, especially because I had questions about the sleeves and customized lace. However, when I emailed them, they responded very quickly and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I'm happy to update this review as the process continues, but so far WONA has been incredible! The space, the dresses, the privacy, the customization options, and most of all the stylists made this such a special and positive experience!

The consultant we had to assigned to us had zero suggestions and had no interest in assisting us or making the sale. The dresses were very, very dirty. We paid to see the dresses from the trunk show, the shop was not interested in showing us dresses from the trunk show. The consultant pinned the dresses (instead of clipped) which meant they did not stay in and hurt the bride to be. We were not even offered water, this is NYC in mid summer. We tried three dresses and we could not get out faster and get a drink to recover from this experience. We had this as our last venue because we thought this would be where we bought.

When my MOH and I arrived, Whitney greeted us with huge hugs and smiles and her excitement to see us and work with us was infectious. She made us feel so comfortable, relaxed, and comfortable. Best of all, she helped me find THE dress and helped me figure out how we might be able to sort things out to make the price tag come more in my budget. She also reassured me about how fittings and alterations would work since I live across the US, and measured me before I left so I wouldn't have to come back in case I decided to buy a dress. I left the appointment so happy. No other boutique I've been to came close to being as fun and relaxed an experience. Other perks: I'm a non-traditional bride, and LM's gorgeous hand dyed pieces were perfect for a gal who doesn't want to look like a cake topper. The only drawback is that they don't allow you to take photos, but Whitney took photos on her ipad to help me compare the dresses at the end of the consultation.

Prior to my Leanne Marshall appointment, I had gone wedding dress shopping twice and had already surrendered to the fact that the "this is it" moment was something I was never going to have. I left previous wedding dress appointments feeling sad and defeated. I had even sworn off strapless dresses, I loved so much in photographs, because I thought they just didn't look good on me. Not only did Nathan open the showroom early to accommodate me, since I was only there visiting New York for the weekend and booked a last minute appointment, he made me feel more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I had literally developed an anxiety over trying on wedding dresses. However, within seconds Nathan took all that anxiety away. After taking a quick look at me, he immediately pulled the Isabella dress, and said I had to try it on. Though I had sworn off strapless dresses, his confidence and conviction made me excited to give the dress a try. It was the first dress I tried on there, and when I looked in the mirror I could barely believe my eyes. I had never felt more beautiful. I felt like a classic Hollywood actress who belonged on the red carpet. I tried on more dresses. Though each of them impressed me, none cast the same spell as Isabella. Every girl deserves to have her moment- when the entire world stops and all eyes are on her. Nathan gives you that moment. He makes you feel like the star you truly are. Of course, none of this would be possible without Leanne Marshall's vision. I have since tried on other dresses I hoped would compare to hers, but no one else makes them the way she does. She understands what is most flattering on a woman's body, and it's the subtle but very important details she pays attention to that make a world of difference. Her dresses immediately make me feel like I have lost ten pounds! That's pretty magical if you ask me. I haven't purchased my wedding dress quite yet, but after all the dresses I have tried on I can tell you this. I will not be walking down the aisle in anything but a Leanne Marshall dress. Thank you Nathan for the wedding dress appointment of my dreams, and thank you Leanne for your beautiful creations.
