Eliane essentially made miracles happen and made the impossible possible for my specific wedding dress requests! Her kindness, dedication, and hospitality were greatly appreciated and I am forever grateful for her.

I was in town for an extra day and was grateful that they took me in as a last minute appointment on a Monday afternoon. I went alone and it was my first time wedding dress shopping. Shamin was my stylist and her presence immediately calmed many of my anxieties of dress shopping. She was warm, professional, respectful of my budget, and allowed me to take time to reflect on each dress. I won’t forget the magical moment here - when she put on a veil, encouraged me to FaceTime my mom, and helped me feel like a bride for the first time. I’m forever grateful to Shamin for her kindness and time. I still have some thinking to do about this dress, but as far as experience, I could not have asked for a better first dress shopping experience!

My favorite bridal dress shop in Boston! Spacious and beautiful location, great selection, and wonderful staff. I had the pleasure of working with Ali for choosing my dress, she was the absolute best! Super patient, knowledgeable and works with you to identify your style! Cannot recommend her enough! You have sufficient space in the fitting rooms, space for your companions and great lighting by the mirror.

Had a wonderful experience trying on Lelite's exquisite selection of gorgeous dresses. While I didn't end up buying my dress from here, it was a great experience. My stylist Ali was so kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel like a million dollars! Make a stop if you're looking to try on the best of the best in Boston.

Violette was absolutely amazing! She worked with me on finding the right style and color dress for my daughter's upcoming wedding. She also worked with us in finding bridesmaids dresses for ten ladies located around the world! Not only was Violette an absolute delight to work with but she created a wonderful experience for all of us! The dresses came in perfect!! Look no futher than L'elite and ask for Violette!

I have gone to a few bridal salons before, but I'm so glad I got The One here! Violette was so great in giving me advice on what looked good on me vs. what didnt - especially since my family & friends are overseas and I had to go alone. Their collection of dresses are high quality and I can't wait for my first fitting!

I had the most incredible experience at L’elite. Ali helped me through the whole process, allowed my mom and I to really look around the shop and nailed finding 2 incredible dresses that ended up being the 2 I was deciding between. It was so hard to choose because they were both so beautiful. Ali was far from pushy and gave great advice for both gowns. I ended up choosing one of those and couldn’t be happier with my choice! Ali was amazing and I recommend her to anyone taking the trip to L’elite

I had such a special experience working with Mona to find my wedding dress! I came to L'Elite twice, and both times, Mona helped me. She felt like a family member by the end of the experience - she was so warm, kind, and thoughtful. She gave good advice when I asked for it, without ever being pushy. The entire shopping experience felt really special and stood apart from the other bridal boutiques I visited. If you are coming to L'Elite, I highly recommend requesting Mona!
My mom also got her MOB dress in L'Elite Occasions, and unfortunately, we did not have the same experience, although she ended up buying a really beautiful dress. I'm not sure I'd recommend the Occasions group, but the Bridal shop is 10/10.

Love and attention to detail best describes the most amazing mother of the bride shopping experience ever!! Violette has a magnificent eye for fashion and what will look stunning on you. Violette knows her craft and above all else she is honest. After searching for a dress for several months, I finally found my dream mother of the bride dress at L' elite, an absolutely stunning Reem Acra gown thanks to Violette. All of the staff and alterations people at L'elite are professional and accommodating. Violette and company turned a stressful situation around into a beautiful cherished memory that I will hold in my heart forever. Thank you beyond words!! Best occasions dress boutique without a doubt and very clean. I wholeheartedly recommend L'elite and Violette without reservation.

I was really anxious about wedding dress shopping from horror stories I heard from friends; I was worried about being made to feel bad about either not fitting into sample sizes or able to afford the selection offered. That ended up not being the case at all. I worked with Isabel, who made me and my family feel so comfortable. She picked out dresses that each made me feel so beautiful and that were all in my price range. She did not pressure me into buying a dress that day and allowed me to call back in a week to order my gown. Isabel was kind, patient, and professional. The salon itself was beautiful and had great options. I cannot recommend this store or Isabel enough to get your wedding gown with.

The upstairs Bridal boutique was fantastic, however, my group had a terrible experience with the downstairs Bridesmaids boutique. We were happy with the samples provided, but the customer service regarding our sizing was incredibly rude. Our main associate criticized my size, told me I needed to lose weight to fit into the dress that I had tried on, fit, and otherwise felt great in. She's lucky it was the only nearby shop with the dress we wanted, she would have otherwise lost the sale. She then proceeded to delay our order for 2+ weeks because she didn't believe another bridesmaid should size up - was pushing for us to size down and lose weight rather than size up and make adjustments. This is the bare minimum of what we experienced, but ultimately left the bridesmaids feeling insecure and ruining the experience for the bride. Would not recommend particularly for sizes 12+, but anyone for that matter, as those in "straight" size also received criticism for wanting flexibility with the sizing. Our retail associate needs to check herself and get with the times. We should've left feeling beautiful.

Had an amazing experience at L’elite! My consultant Mona was so knowledgeable and helpful when we walked through each room to look at dresses. The try on process went smooth which made it fun. I did not feel pressured to make a decision, but did say yes to a dress!

I didn't find my dress at L'elite but I had a wonderful time trying on dresses there. I had booked a trunk show for a specific designer in NY and wanted to try some dresses on before I went to have some experience, so I went to three boutiques in Boston (L'elite, Flair, and Ceremony) before finding my dress at the trunk show. L'elite was my first appointment and definitely where I would go back if I was still looking for a dress. Ali was my consultant and I had an incredible time working with her. I mentioned that I like to sew and she went out of her way to point out interesting design features that I would appreciate from that perspective. She was very bubbly, kind, and knowledgeable. They have an incredible variety of dresses and the quality really stood out in comparison to others I tried. I also liked that they encouraged me to look around and pull from the floor, which wasn't offered at the other stores I went to. I think it's important to note that they specialize in designer couture bridal, which comes with a designer couture price tag and your options might be limited under about $5k (not impossible, but limited). I'm a very curvy size 8 in street clothes and didn't have any issues fitting into their samples save for one mermaid style, but I don't know what your experience would be like if you are mid to plus size. I also appreciated that they offer alterations in house, which is rare in Boston from what I've seen so far, so you won't be sold any false promises about what's possible to alter.

From start to finish, truly the best experience. I went to three different bridal stores (and in two different cities) and none come even close to the experience at L’elite. You must must must request Ali for your appointment. She has an amazing eye for design and a warmth about her that just makes you feel like you’ve know her for years. She is far from pushy and yet also honest about what she thinks will make you look and feel your best. Ali is truly what made the shopping experience so fun and special.
