“This shop did not have any reviews so I wasn’t that optimistic. But we went in, Bella helped me try dresses on and helped us look over the catalogs to find the dresses we like and assured us that she will call the company to order them to the shop so we can come back and try them on. It was a very pleasant experience. She was also very flexible with the appointment when we arrived early:)”

“Made an appointment for mother of the groom dress. They showed me where to look to pick out things I liked ,and I had a stylist who listened to what I had in mind. Stylist pulled some gowns and helped me try everything on.
Was a great experience”
“Beautiful place! Jacqueline was amazing beautiful inside and out! I enjoyed my experience with her very much. She really wanted to make me feel like a true bride princess and made sure everything was to my comfort!”
“Could not recommend EB Horn Jewelers enough ! I was in urgent need of a ring resize and they were incredibly helpful and kind. High quality and efficient service in a lovely and supportive atmosphere - a huge thank you to everyone there!”
“Katie was the most professional, helpful, knowledgeable consultant I encountered in all of my dress appointments, I so appreciated her candor as I can be a bit indecisive. She was great with my support crew and steering me in the direction of my “yes” - so relieved and happy for such a great experience!!! The shop is clean and beautiful with a wonderful selection. Couldn’t have been better!!”
“My stylist Kelly was amazing in helping me stay grounded and mindful about choosing a dress that I loved first and foremost, despite the rest of my parties opinions. She was so helpful in making sure the dresses I was trying on made me feel comfortable and confident while making the experience light and fun. Huge bonus too that she selected the dress that I ultimately I said yes to, factoring in styles and dress shape that was authentic to what my vision was and what I would feel most confident and excited to wear for my big day! Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Very seamless process that every bride should be able to experience!! Love my gown. Winnie couture was able to bring something I’ve always envisioned myself wearing to life. Highly recommend their services, design and hospitality to every bride!”
“I had an amazing experience shopping at Glo Bridal. Molly was very warm and supportive throughout the entire process. It was great having the shop all to myself, having shopped at other bigger wedding dress stores it can be stressful having a bunch of other people trying things on around you. There also was an amazing selection of brands that I love. I highly recommend Glo Bridal to anyone looking for wedding dresses in the Boston area!”
“I highly recommend coming here for your bridal dress alterations. Book well in advance, but it's worth it. Hranush worked so efficiently, and I received many compliment on my bustle while dancing. Perfect fit all night!”
“I live in Canada and bought my dress at L’elite in Boston while visiting my aunt. My only concern was how many trips I’d need for fittings—but the team handled everything perfectly.
We started Thursday and finished Saturday afternoon. They completed my Monique ball gown, my sister’s beaded dress, and my mother’s dress beautifully. The in-house designer suggested changes to my mother’s gown that made it more sophisticated and flattering.
I truly appreciate the entire L’elite team—from the showroom to tailoring. Their 40+ years of experience deserve 5 stars!”
“We had the best experience at Chryssie Bridal. Everyone was so very friendly, helpful and knew which dresses to share with our two brides. Both women said yes to the perfect dress!!!”
“I've been coming to Bonnie's with all alteration needs for almost 10 years, so it was a no-brainer to bring my wedding dress to her for alterations. She is incredibly skilled and talented and works so fast! It's not cheap but nothing of value is. Her work is truly worth every penny.”
“Anna Nieman did a fabulous job making my mother of the bride dress!!! I have purchased some of her designs in the past and wear them to this day! The classic and elegant style she portrays is unsurpassable! The dress for the wedding was above and beyond my expectations (presented many different pictures of dresses that had something I wanted in my own dress, that Anna brought to fruition)! The dress felt like butter and beyond comfortable, which many gowns you buy are never this PERFECT!! Cheers, Tawnia”
“If you like the design, go for it. I bought a few basic pieces to wear occasionally and casually. They were just a few hundred bucks so I didn't have high expectations for the metal or germs. However, despite my infrequent use, the earrings have been tarnished severely and I couldn't figure out a way to fix it. That never happened to my other more expensive pieces. I am a bit disappointed and decided to sell it on other platforms like Ebay.”
“I said, "Yes to the Dress" at Angelas! I had the best experience working with Jenny and Angela. They were so welcoming and friendly, made me feel so comfortable, and were great in guiding me to the dress of my dreams! The dressing rooms and dress viewing area were spacious and very cute and comfortable. They also have great prices when comparing the same dress at multiple other bridal shops. I loved the "off the rack" options as well. Highly recommend.”
“My reservation was honored with a nearly 90min friendly try-on experience! I removed 1 star due to the lack of detailed attention towards the end. A cape was left on the floor and during the removal of the last dress, the curtains were partially opened.”
“I went to many bridal shops before stumbling into Allegria and I am so lucky that I waited to get my dress there. Marina was the most patient and kindest bridal consultant ever. I couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more generous and professional team of people who just truly love what they do and go above and beyond to make your day a special one. They also helped connect me with Ling, who is an incredible seamstress and made my wedding dress look even more stunning than it was before. If you come across your dream dress but have the option of getting it at Allegria, do it there. The people alongside you every step of the way, for each fitting, truly matter in this process.”
“A true professional. I went to him with a problem from another unnamed jeweler and he was so helpful and knowledgeable that it really made everything right. I can’t thank him enough.”
“I cannot recommend Ceremony enough! Everyone on their team is so helpful and sweet. Lydia was my stylist when I first tried on dresses and she's SO good at what she does. She was supportive, knowledgable, and made me feel so confident. If you get an appointment with Lydia, you are in the best hands!!! Alix and Molly also helped save my life for a last minute veil situation that I truly cannot thank them enough for. It's been really lovely being a Ceremony bride!! Wish I could shop there again!!”
“The staff is excellent, the dresses are beautiful and in great shape, and the store is very clean! Pronovias was my third store to find a wedding dress and I wish I had gone their first!”
“I went to Gigi on a whim. Best decision in my whole wedding process. Let me tell you the amount of compliments I received from the dress I purchased was insane. Gigi was patient and treated us like royalty. 5 stars is not enough of a compliment!!! Thank you is an understatement Gi-xx”
“Make bhldn your first stop on your search for your wedding dress! I had two back-to-back appointments, the first at another nearby store, and the second at bhldn. I left my first appointment so discouraged and stressed due to the selection and my dismissive stylist. At bhldn, I felt welcomed and supported from the moment I set foot in the store. My stylist (Meg? Maddie?) was ready for me right away, and had dresses ready for me from the online intake form when I made the appointment. She was training another stylist, and gave both of us ample attention, with patience and passion. She listened to my feedback about what I liked or would change about each dress, and eventually pulled one that I hadn't considered - of course, I put it on and cried, and that dress ended up being The Dress! Notably, I never felt pressured, and my body was spoken about neutrally and with respect, when relevant. I felt safe and comfortable, my dress arrived within a few weeks, and highly recommend bhldn Chestnut Hill for your wedding dress!”
“I loved my dress. I loved shopping for my dress. I loved getting my dress tailored. I loved the veil that completed the dress. I loved my experience at Bride's Choice from beginning to end. Laura S.”
“Candice Wu is truly a visionary. Watching her close out 10-Year Anniversary Next On Scene Runway supporting HumanKind with her stunning bridal gowns was nothing short of magical. ✨
Her designs are not only breathtaking — they are inclusive, thoughtful, and empowering. The way she creates for all abilities is something incredibly special and deeply needed in the fashion world.
Candice, thank you for bringing beauty, grace, and purpose to the runway. Your talent and heart shine through in every single piece. It was an absolute honor to work with you!
Highly recommend Candice Wu Couture for anyone looking for custom bridal wear that’s as inclusive as it is unforgettable. ?”
“I had an amazing experience with Dianellie and Adriana picking out my wedding dress. They were very knowledgable and helped me iron out every detail with no stress. They helped me combine two different dresses into one and it turned out exactly how I hoped. Thank you Dianellie and Adriana!”
“I had a very positive experience working with Ikhlaus at L’elite Boutique this past Saturday. She was very professional, knowledgeable, patient and listened to my preferences while suggesting a few of her own. Her professionalism and attention to detail were excellent and she provided honest feedback when I asked her opinion. I would highly recommend Ikhlaus; she is absolutely lovely.”
“Wonderful, curated collection of sophisticated casual and evening wear from small American, European, and Latin designers. Top notch customer service without high pressure to buy. My favorite place to shop in Boston and Newton!”
“I just bought my wedding dress here! The women here were outstandingly patient, kind, and helpful. They gave me their honest opinion and didn't judge me at all for agonizing about my final purchase or get pushy. Really, truly wonderful experience.
I bought a $7,000 dress for $3,500--what a bargain!”
“I brought a complicated lace dress that I had bought elsewhere to Jacqueline’s for alterations and they absolutely worked magic making it the perfect fit and perfect length. I highly recommend them for alterations!Photos by Brooke Voeller (IG: @voellocity)”
“This is a very late review for services I received in August, but Bella is a lifesaver. I had a strict budget and bought my dream wedding dress made of ivory Mikado silk on a used website and the bust area ended up being way too small. I contacted three other seamstresses - one said it was going to be a difficult, time consuming job when she was already busy and offered a less than ideal solution that would totally alter the look of the dress, one charged an absurd amount of money, and the last said the materials would be impossible to find and didn’t even want to attempt it. I was pretty much about to give up when I found Bella, who was very busy with other customers but took the time to look at the dress and said very confidently that she could fix it by adding a corset. I asked if the materials would be hard to find and she said she already had them, and charged me a very reasonable price. We did have a few issues with timing, but I still received my dress before my wedding, she made the most beautiful corset with perfectly matched material, and it actually added an extra princess feel to the dress. I was thrilled. Thank you Bella!”
