VEKA Bridal Store is a gem among bridal boutiques. Owned by two remarkable women, this charming store offers not only a stunning selection of dresses but also an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, as the owners listened attentively to my vision and provided personalized recommendations. Throughout my journey, VEKA Bridal's professionalism and passion for their craft shone brightly, making the process of finding my dream dress not just easy but truly magical. I cannot recommend VEKA Bridal Store highly enough; it's where dreams become dresses, and where every bride is treated like family.

Jana from Veka Bridal was fantastic! What really sets Jana apart is her keen eye for what looks good on all kinds of bodies, all delivered in a kind and non-judgmental tone. I am a quick shopper - my appointment was one hour and I ended up choosing the second dress I tried on (out of five) that day. Three of the dresses I tried on were just "for fun" at Jana's insistence that I try on a few more dresses while I was there. My dilemma was that I liked the second dress but preferred the back on the first dress. Jana assured me that it was not a problem to customize the second dress, which I ultimately did.While I loved my Rembo Styling dress in the shop, I was a bit nervous that it would look "plain" during my wedding - it was anything but. People commented on how beautiful the lace was (even the photographer!), how stunning the dress was, and how much I looked like a "princess." People said things like, "I've never seen a dress like that before - it is so beautiful!"I would recommend Veka Bridal to anyone who is looking to stand out from other brides on their wedding day :)

VeKa Bridal is so special! I received so much special attention from Jana who was patient and understood my vision. While I did not end up buying a dress here, Jana offered me a perspective that really helped me- she emphasized the feeling and emotion I have in the dress and listening to my gut. I ultimately had that advice from Jana in my mind when I made my decision. I would highly recommend a visit to VeKa if you want to see unique, delicate dresses that you won't see anywhere else!

I cannot say enough great things about my experience with VeKa, and was so happy with my dress! I came across VeKa while walking down Atlantic Avenue with my mom (after visiting several other stores in Manhattan with zero luck), due to a striking dress in the window that caught our eye. We went in, spoke with owners Ksenia & Jana, and scheduled an appointment. Beautifully curated dress selection, varied price range, expert tailoring, and all interactions directly with the owners themselves (who are insightful, thoughtful, and great at their jobs). Definitely recommend VeKa!!!Photo credit: @boaz_fradkin_photographer

I had a lovely time at Veka--their gowns are so chic and unique. I really enjoyed my time with Ksenia, who made the experience very comfortable and gave some great/wanted feedback on what I tried on. I ended up getting my dress elsewhere but that was just because of loving this dress, nothing to do with this store!

Very curated dress selection which I truly needed. After going to 5+ other stores, I pretty quickly realized I was in the right place. Even though I still had a hard time deciding, they were super patient and communicative - they told me at my first appointment that a big trunk show was coming in a few days, and I should return then if I was interested in certain styles. I came back 2 more times, finally with a friend and to video call my mom to make the decision. The ladies here were never pushy at all, just incredibly easy to deal with and positive and asked great questions about the venue and my style that advised my decision. Can’t wait for my dress to come in.

I’m so glad I got my wedding dress at Veka! After going to some of the bigger dress shops and quickly realizing they weren’t for me, I loved the unique and timeless selection that Veka offered. I ended up getting a beautiful dress from Rembo Styling, and there were multiple Rembo dresses that I would’ve easily chosen. The team was very helpful and so patient through multiple fittings. Veka is a wonderful local business if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind dress!

I can't say enough great things about my experience purchasing my wedding dress at Veka bridal. Ksenia and Jana were amazing to work with - they each are so sweet and warm and gave honest opinions and truly made sure I was taken care of. They were so accommodating to my custom requests and my dress and veil turned out beautifully. Working with them was truly a dream and I can't recommend this bridal shop enough. As an added bonus, their in-house tailor made everything so easy and did a wonderful job.

I got my wedding dress at VeKa Bridal and had a wonderful experience. Their dresses are all beautiful and unique -- they don't feel like dresses I have seen a million times on a million brides already. They were respectful of my budget, never tried to upsell me, and were so supportive and kind during the fitting process. Their in-house seamstress is excellent and even though I had a last minute alteration the week before the wedding, they were unflappable and made it a priority that the dress fit exactly the way I wanted it to.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Planning a last minute international wedding with just a little over 1 month lead time, I felt pretty defeatist about finding *a* dress, let alone *the* dress... until I walked into Veka Bridal. It's incredibly difficult to find any dress in that timeframe, nevermind your dream dress-- especially when your bridal style is on the more unconventional side. Jana and Ksenia from start to finish were absolute heroes!! Knowing my tight timeframe and so quickly gaining a deep understanding of my style and preferences (I swear they're mind-readers and knew me even better than myself), they were so accommodating and eager to help me out in such a bind. Most other bridal boutiques basically told me flat out no or that it would be unlikely for me to find something in that timeframe. When I found the perfect dress at my first appointment, Jana and Ksenia immediately went into problem solving mode and made it work even with three fittings over the course of 2.5 weeks!! (Zuly, their seamstress, is also incredible at what she does!) Both my mom and sister came to Veka with me and wholeheartedly agree that this shop has the most interesting, unique dresses out there (especially in a market that is so beyond oversaturated with more or less the same old styles). The curation at Veka strikes such a rare and delicate balance of unconventional and unique, yet still timeless and sophisticated. If you're looking for a dress that isn't the typical cookie cutter mold, come here. And even if you're looking for a more conventional dress, come here-- you might surprise yourself! But it's not just the curation at Veka that makes it so special, it's also the heart and soul that Jana and Ksenia put into every last touch. These two make you feel so welcome from the time you walk in, and their expertise is unparalleled. Jana and Ksenia have such true talent and a keen eye for helping you find the right dress. A lot of other bridal boutiques out there are run like factories and make you feel like just another number, at times even with pushy specialists who try to convince you into liking a dress that isn't actually right for you. Jana and Ksenia are open and honest from the start, and never pressure you into a dress just for the sake of it or because it's more expensive. Don't think twice and book an appointment! (p.s. there's also a small selection of accessories available with equally tasteful curation! I ended up getting a beautiful gold hair clip as well.)
