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.

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 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!

No alterations are done at the store so you have to pick up your dress and cart it around to find a seamstress. Also when I went to order the sleeves I had to pay twice as much for them because they're coming from New Zealand. Thanks to Selene in the East Village she was able to alter the dress for my princess! She looked AMAZING

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!

Thanks to Kate, I found multiple dresses that I absolutely love. My biggest problem now is deciding which one to choose! I truly can't recommend asking for Kate enough.

I had always loved Sarah Seven designs, and when it came time to choose the dress, they understood me perfectly. I was able to customize a top from one design with the bottom of another, and they made the whole process feel effortless and fun. I anxiously waited for my dress to arrive--and let me tell you, it was worth every second. It fit like a dream and felt so me. And we have to give a moment for the veil. When I first tried it on, it was jaw-dropping--but somehow, it looked even more magical on my wedding day. Every detail came together beautifully, and I'm beyond grateful to the Sarah Seven team for helping bring my vision to life.

He helped me understand the benefits of choosing Sarah Seven versus other designers, and was so easy to chat with as I worked through making a decision on my dress. I brought two of my bridesmaids with me and they had a comfy couch to sit on and watch me as I tried on dresses. The location is so cozy and chic -- we were treated to some bubbly to toast the decision! I also really appreciated their flexibility to let me come back the next day to try on the dress one more time after checking out another designer. It was so helpful especially since I was only visiting New York for a short weekend. Really loved the process and cannot wait to get my custom dress!! thank you again Luke & team!

I never felt pressured at any point; everyone truly just wanted me to find a dress that I loved and felt happy in.

We flew in from around the USA and our agenda was based on this appointment. At $160 for the…read moreappointment it was the most expensive of the 5 venues we visited and the greatest disappointment. 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. We had a sizable budget but will buy from Danielle Frankel or Mark Ingram, they seemed to understand the bridal experience.

We worked with Harlow, who was seriously the best!!! We started by talking through what I had already tried on, what I was looking for, my budget, etc. Harlow then pulled wedding dresses that aligned perfectly with everything I had shared. They were soo helpful, warm, and welcoming, and made us all laugh (which really helps make what can sometimes feel like an overwhelming experience so much more enjoyable). The dresses at The White Gown are also beautiful, and the dressing rooms are lovely and spacious. Additionally, the appointment fee is much lower than at many other stores, which is a huge plus. All in all, I had a great experience at The White Gown and would definitely recommend working with Harlow!

The staff at White Gown were amazing, and the selection of gowns was the best. Unfortunately, our…read moreexperience with the seamstress was very different. The seamstress works alone and was extremely delayed in completing the alterations she had promised my daughter, whom I'll call Dee. In fact, Dee stopped in a few days before what was supposed to be her final fitting to check on the progress. Nothing had been done--and this was a week and a half before the wedding. When Dee expressed how nervous she was, the seamstress told her that she couldn't work on her gown because she was still altering gowns for weddings that very weekend. That is an incredibly stressful thing to hear when a bride is already dealing with everything else that comes with preparing for a wedding. When we finally went for the final fitting, just days before the wedding, there were still issues. Dee had chosen a ballroom bustle, which required additional buttons. The sleeves, which we had been told would be detachable, had instead been sewn directly onto the dress. Long story short, the hem when bustled was uneven, but thankfully, because it grazed the floor, it wasn't particularly noticeable. The sleeves, however, were never aligned correctly. I'm attaching three photos so you can see the problem from both sides. The seamstress did make the straps detachable, so Dee was at least able to take them off after the ceremony, but unfortunately, they are visibly misaligned in all of her wedding photos. We were very happy with the staff and the gown selection at White Gown, but the alteration experience was extremely disappointing and added unnecessary stress at an already stressful time. When I mentioned to the seamstress that she needs help, she said she can't trust anyone else to do it like her - or find the time to train an assistant. That would seem to be something White Gown needs to interced with.

I don't even know where to begin because I don't think I have the words to truly express how…read moreincredible this place is. 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.

However, to see them all (and trust me, you WANT to see them all), set up an appointment (required) to visit her NYC showroom. Each flowing, ethereal gown is more beautiful than the last. And the prices are absolutely fair! I initially worked with Angela, who was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic from the get go. I loved so many of the dresses that it was hard to decide which one to purchase. She was flexible in allowing me to come back in for a second appointment to try on my favorites once more before choosing THE ONE. The showroom is small so you will be the only client there, which makes the experience relaxed and personal. At no point did I feel pressured to buy. After making the final decision, Angela was professional in helping me understand the contract and taking my measurements. My emails were always answered quickly and all communication was easy and pleasant. Shockingly, the dress was finished a week earlier than expected and took only 4 months total! I picked it up today and it is just the most beautiful piece of work. Whitney was very helpful and attentive in completing the sale. I feel beyond lucky to have found Leanne Marshall and to own one of her creations. Pictures to come at a later date :) Brides, do yourself a favor and visit Leanne Marshall Bridal! These gowns are just breathtaking and superior to many others I tried on all over NYC.
