La Rue Marche is one of the few exceptions to the rule where I could wander around a store for hours. And in this case, I have over the years. Their clothes are adorable and inspire me to step outside of my fashion comfort zone, comfortably. They have many vintage pieces also have a collection of items that all flow very well together. In my mind I would like to copy and paste everything on hangers into my own closet. I'd be a very happy girl. But it doesn't stop there! They have really unique jewelry, accessories, home goods and novelty items too. I've bought a pendant, hair bows and a candle here to show the range of what's offered. They've recently remodeled which led me to believe that this was a new store with new ownership, but I was pleased to see that it was the same, just re-vamped and freshened up. If you ever find yourself in Hudson and want to get lost in a dreamy world of gorgeous clothes, accessories, shoes and things for your home, come here and wander until your heart's content.

I believe they often host special events to coordinate with the community and season.

The costume I walked away with was better than anything I could have imagined myself grabbing- not to mention, they allowed me to look until I found exactly what I needed to walk away with. The owner is quite enthusiastic, as you would hope a costume and magic shop owner would be. Great value! 10/10 experience!

Both my sister and I purchased our wedding dresses from Bella Bridal Boutique and we absolutely…read moreloved the dresses. This boutique has a great selection of styles and designers at this store, a very generous and comfortable fitting / viewing area in the back, and reasonable prices. The staff is helpful and good at making recommendations for your body type, although very particular about certain things (e.g., no shoes allowed, no men in the viewing area). Other positives were that they shipped the dress to me since I live out of state, and that they were able to get it to me within 3 months of purchase for a reasonable rush fee. They also stayed open late to allow me to make a final decision on the dress and for the processing of the paperwork / payment. On that note...the paperwork. This is one of the reasons I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. The contract they make you sign is a little crazy. You have to initial individual clauses that clear the boutique of any responsibility should the dress show up late, with a different length than expected, and a number of other nuances that you would expect a seller to be responsible for. They will not sell you the dress without your signature on every single line, and when I protested about the terms, they told me that it was in the boutique's best interest to ensure I was happy with my final purchase. So, they gave me verbal assurances that everything would be great, even though I was being forced to sign a document that cleared them of the liability for some potentially big issues. In the end, I was exhausted and wanted to just get everything over with, so I signed it. Thankfully, their verbal assurances rang true, and the dress showed up earlier than expected, without defects, and in great shape. It looked beautiful at the wedding! The only other complaint I have is that I felt very pressured to go with a larger size than I needed. My seamstress ended up having to take my dress in 3 SIZES, which was very expensive and time-consuming. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't given in to the pressure and ordered the size I thought was best. I get that boutiques want you to play it safe since it's easier to take a dress in than out, but 3 sizes off was a little frustrating.

However, the manager Susana, absolutely awful customer service and does not care about making a customer happy. Bella bridal charged my card TWICE for an item I only ordered one of.

This is not something a bride should have to deal with right in the last moments before her wedding. I finally gave up because I was getting absolutely no where.

I had Liliya as my profesional stylist and she was simply amazing! I had so so so much fun! Usually going to a bridal shop can be daunting because I'm not the typical model size to fit into gowns given I'm petite, midsize and curvie can be tricky to try on dresses. Lili was so helpful and honestly she got me into a lot of dresses that I thought I wouldn't be able to fit in and I just couldn't help but laugh at how much fun it was trying on dresses. It was a workout but so worth it ! They have a lot of designer dresses and honestly a bit of everything !

Then, one of my friends got her wedding dress from Sienna Cole Bridal. Her dress was amazing, and I got to hear about the process of her putting it together with Lisa. Here's where my story starts, when my now-husband and I started talking about getting married, I told this friend. She said that I had to go try on dresses at bridal shops. I didn't want to because it seemed overwhelming. I just wanted to buy something online. My friend was persuasive and asked me to at least go to Sienna Cole Bridal even if for the fun of it. So, I made an appointment. My friend was going to come but was unable to. The first visit was just me. Lisa immediately made me feel relaxed. She didn't put any pressure on me to find a dress. She let me look around at my leisure. I tried on a few dresses (some that I liked and some just for fun). I tried on the dress that would eventually become my wedding dress, and I loved it. I immediately felt so beautiful. The dress was one that I didn't expect to be my style, but after putting it on, it was totally me. After I left, I couldn't stop thinking about this dress. I was so worried that someone was going to buy it before I could. I wasn't engaged, yet, but I had to have this dress as my wedding dress. The next day, I was perusing David's Bridal online for shoes, and I found the perfect shoes to match this dress that I hadn't even bought. I may be crazy, but I bought the shoes. Then, I knew I had to go back and buy the dress. I immediately set up an appointment to go back to Sienna Cole Bridal as soon as I could. I got my mom and sisters to come with me. I tried it on for them (with the new shoes that were perfect for the dress), but I already knew that I was going to buy this dress. Lisa helped make a whole ensemble for me at a totally reasonable price - and she was never, ever pushy. We looked through jackets and belts and decided on one of each for my "ceremony look." Then, Lisa added spaghetti straps to the dress so that I could take off the jacket for the reception, which was the best idea. I was able to enjoy myself while dancing. I stayed cool and felt confident in my dress. Lisa, thank you so much for all you did for me and my beautiful dress. You are an artist. Your commitment to quality is so admirable. And thank you for your wonderful customer service. The whole process from my first visit to picking up the dress was so fun and painless. Thank you so much.
