Last week, my best friend had an emergency with her bridal dress. The zipper pull just flew off the…read morezipper when she tried it on, approximately 5 hours before she had to take pictures and getting married. I called eight different bridal shops and alteration stores. Most of them couldn't assist, one rudely cut me off and hung up on me and one company (Kelly Alterations) referred me to Fahri's Custom Clothing. I called Fahri's at about 9:30 in the morning (a half hour before they opened), he answered and said YES- come over now! He was so reassuring! I guess a lot of shops won't fix bridal zipper emergencies because they can be tricky. This was a Saturday morning, and Fahri and his wife so beyond nice. He's an expert and they both set me at complete ease. I mean, imagine dropping off your friend's wedding dress to a complete stranger hours before the wedding!! It was a little stressful. I can't thank Fahri and his wife enough. Not only did they answer the phone early that Saturday morning but they paused all of their other jobs to help me out. The zipper was perfect- no issues what so ever the entire day! Use this tailor shop! They are specialized, honest, fast and have fantastic customer service. Thank you, sir, you saved our day!

He fixed a button on my dress perfectly and hemmed my boyfriend's pants, and both came out flawless. What really stood out to me was how accommodating he was. We mentioned that we had a flight to catch on Friday, and even though we came in on Monday, he had everything ready the same day. That level of service is so rare and honestly so appreciated. He has so much experience and it really shows in his work. Everything looked clean, professional, and tailored exactly how we wanted. On top of that, he was so kind and easy to work with, which made the whole experience even better. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for high quality tailoring with quick turnaround and amazing customer service. We'll definitely be coming back!

The shop is small, but had a large selection of the latest, on-trend gowns and dresses-no old styles or gowns that have been in the rack for years.

I have heard nothing but horror stories about this place. I heard from multiple I know they have…read moregotten their dresses weeks some days before they needed it. Most recently my close friend got her dress for her daughters wedding under 3 weeks before the wedding already needing alterations as the dress was coming in a little big for her as she is petite. The dress was ordered in February was supposed arrive in May got here in July. When her dress finally arrived after MONTHS of anxiously waiting it came in a size 8. They apologized and offered to do the alternations however we have already heard of a list of problems coming from alterations worst being burn marks to an overseas gown. Thankfully she got alterations else where she was not offered any money off the dress and was told she already saved $100 because the store spent it to get her size (that she didn't even receive). She looked beautiful in the dress after alterations but after the experience it was hard to love her dress she spent a good fortune on. Moral of the story order your dress a year in advance or maybe look else where I hope that the store owner can learn from these experiences and do better.

Bella Sposa is such a special place! I chose them (and their dress, of course ) because of the way they made me feel when I visited.

While I am 11 years removed from my own wedding, I can still speak to a great boutique! I came with…read moremy friend, who is getting married. What I really liked that you could look at the dresses yourself and pick out what you wanted to try on. A lot of salons don't let you do this. You tell them what you're looking for and they pick out the dresses. I'm sure this requires more work on the businesses end, but I do appreciate it. The dresses are gorgeous and there's a nice variety. I saw all the styles you'd expect to find including mermaid, silhouette, a-line, fit and flair, ball gown and some trendier choices like non-white dresses. THEN the real show stopper - a traditional cut strapless fit and flare dress covered in a sequin underlay so it sparkles like the sun. It was truly breathtaking. That's the special one my friend went home with. There's a room you can go into to get dressed, and the attendees will help you. They also provide strapless bras if you didn't bring your own, nice touch! Again, the people working couldn't have been nicer and were so patient and answered all our questions. It was a truly pleasant experience. Prices seem to be very much on par with most boutiques, I think you just have to come with a budget in mind. I will highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great experience.

My daughter called over 2 months ago and was told "waiting to be shipped". I called a month later and was told the same thing and that there was an issue with another bride's dress whose wedding was before my daughter's . That is not my concern or should matter. I was also told by the owner MaryBeth that "we are cutting it close" and she would see what was going on. I made sure she knew that I would take further action if needed. The tracking number for the dress was provided within 2 days and was not even shipped priority but took a week to get there. My daughter had to call them to set up a fitting. I truly believe if she did not call, they would not have contacted her until after April 1st ( the shop is closed 3/22 until 4/1). When questioning the time frame for fitting and alterations the second time, MaryBeth stated " there is plenty of time for that" ,contradicting herself. We picked up the dress and chose to not have the seamstress, (who was a lovely lady and helpful, more than the owner), do the alterations. Marybeth was there and did not offer a single apology and did not speak more than a few words. The service received here was the worst experience I could imagine any bride going through. My daughter did her research prior and the reviews were good. Ladies do not choose this retailer unless you plan on staying On top of them each step of the way and want to listen to BS . Did I mention that I myself was able to contact the company that the dress was ordered from once the tracking was provided and was told by a great representative there that the dress was only recently ordered and paid for!? Whether you choose to pay $500 or close to $3k like we did, keep your eyes on the prize with this company ! Don't let them add extra stress to one of the most important days of your life.

I went to three other bridal shops before coming here, and Bridal Beginning checked every single box. The staff were absolutely amazing, they were extremely knowledgeable and the shop is gorgeous. When you make your appointment, you need to fill out a "Wedding Dress Wishlist" so your stylist can customize your dress shopping experience. This was a game changer. They knew exactly what I wanted and had dresses pulled before I arrived. Sara was the stylist I was paired with, and she was fantastic! As I tried on more dresses, she continued to pull different styles that matched exactly what I was liking. She helped me stick on budget and make me feel like a bride. Looking back, I definitely should have came here first, but I am so glad I finally said "yes to the dress!"
