    Cathedral veil
    Victoria T.

    Basia was amazing !! I made an appointment in august for my January wedding and my cathedral veil was done by the end of October. She matched the coloring of my dress and details to my veil. She is truly gifted ! I have received so many compliments on my veil. So thankful for a friend who recommended her to me !

    Basia made me a stunning Juliet cap veil and a headband to match my vintage lace dress. I wanted something that looked vintage but not costume-y and she came up with something so beautiful and perfect. I met with her three or four times to discuss the designs and try them on in various stages of progress. She is the sweetest lady and her apartment must be seen to be believed. So glad I worked with her!

    Loved working with Basia! She looked at a picture of my dress and knew exactly what would look perfect! Loved that she has been doing this since she was a young girl! I also got my head piece from her too! Wonderful experience!

    I could not be happier that I came on here to get veil suggestions. Basia is absolutely incredible! She is so sweet and exactly what you picture when you are talking to her on the phone! I told her my ideas and she instantly saw my vision! I got a custom cathedral veil, blusher and headpiece for a fraction of what bridal salons are charging! Definitley consider basia when you are shopping around it was a great experience ! Only piece of advice is that she's in a 4th floor walk up so wear comfy shoes!! Update with photos !!!

    This was by far the BEST wedding vendor experience I had when planning my wedding. From the consultation to picking up the custom cathedral veil. She's a dream and her work is impeccable.r

    I found her here and was a little nervous but She made the veil of my dreams . I got married overseas and people could not stop talking about my veil Perfection !

    Cathedral-length mantilla veil by Basia
    julia n.

    Basia is not what you expect for a chic wedding veil/headpiece designer. She is an older woman, lives on a 5th floor walk-up with her adorable dog with hip problems (and big acupuncture bills!) She doesn't use email (or Yelp!) and only communicates via phone with a real answering machine. Half of her apartment is her veil studio, which features several mirrors, a lovely vanity and plenty of lace, feather and beading for a bride to sift through. I visited once before i really knew what i wanted for my wedding (i had a simple dress and wanted to have fun with headpieces), tried a few things, and showed her a photo of an elaborate feathered fascinator a friend wore at her wedding which was published in Veranda. Basia said she could do something similar but i was afraid to commission it because i wasn't sure it would be exactly what i wanted. Once i figured out what I wanted-- a cathedral-length mantilla with lace trim that i had tried on at another bridal store (at a hefty $1600). Basia made the same thing with even better quality and she charged me a fraction of the cost. When i went to pick the lace for it, she said I had inspired her to make a feather fascinator! She pulled out the most divine headpiece--it was absolutely stunning! I tried it on and bought it on the spot. The veil and feather headpiece she made me were so special, and so unique, they truly made my wedding look. The photos were fabulous and I got tons of great compliments. I highly recommend Basia-- if you know what she can make it for a lot less, and if you don't she can suggest things.

    Basia - thank you so much for designing the perfect veil to compliment my dress. It was exactly what I wanted. Simple, elegant, and chic. Here's a picture from the wedding. I hope to send many brides your way!

    Raw edge cathedral length veil. Diamond white.

    I am so happy that I learned of Basia through my friend who read about her online. I bought my dress at Kleinfeld, and when they "jacked me up" they slapped on a veil that was $850. I knew I had to be able to get something cheaper, so I said no thanks. In comes Basia. An older woman with no cell phone, just a landline, who lives in an old walk up apartment with her dog on the UWS. I made an appointment and met with her and showed her my dress. She told me to go to Kleinfeld and ask them the exact color veil that would go with my dress, which I did, to make sure it went with my dress color. I talked through what would look best with her, she is obviously incredibly experienced, and she talked me into a dramatic but simple cathedral length veil to balance out my ornate gown. We also made sure it would only be one layer as I wanted to show off the back of my gown. I could not be happier. The best part is, for my raw edge cathedral length veil, she only charged me $100. Doesn't get any better than that, and it was custom made just for me. I highly recommend Basia. She completed the wedding look that I was looking to execute and made it a reality.

    My custom veil was the perfect touch!

    I found Basia on Yelp, searching for a more personal experience than a department store or large bridal boutique. She defiantly delivered! Basia works out of her apartment by appointment only. She is located on the 5th floor of a residential building with no elevator. Bacia said it was fine to bring my dress and I was able to try it in while we discussed veil options. I had something specific in mind, but Bacia gave me her opinion and many options. Basia has a large selection of fabric, colors, trim & embellishments to choose from! Since the veil is custom she can cut it to any length or add trim/embellishment as desired. The veil was ready on time and I paid half of what I would've paid anywhere else for similar quality. It looked amazing in photos and went perfect with my dress. I'm glad that I trusted Basia's expertise! I will recommend Basia in the future!!

    Caroline T.

    I LOVED working with Basia. As other reviewers have said, she is so sweet. Basia created exactly what I imagined at a very fair price.

    Rachel A.

    Having your veil created but Basia was a one-of-a-kind experience. She is a wonderful, kind woman who will create the veil of your dreams at the price of your dreams!! She ordered lace (from England!) for my veil that perfectly matched the lace of my dress. She created an incredible floor-length veil with lace trim and a blusher for a very reasonable price! She listens well to your veil vision and will advise you on what would look best with your wedding dress. Trust her!! She is the pro.

    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.

    I'm disappointed in my experience here…read more First the dressing rooms are tiny and I was literally handed big dresses to then get into myself... like me and the stylist in a tiny cramped room and me trying to out on a ball gown by myself with no help? So random. They also didn't let me look around at first. They pulled dresses I didn't like and didn't offer to let me do that until after 15-20 minutes. And mind you it's $75 for an appointment.

The fitting "area" didn't have a mirror so note it's more challenging to closely inspect the dress on your own. Definitely overpriced for very limited selection, which lacked variety. Was surprised that samples were often only priced maybe $500 off the "original price" (questionable if the listed original prices were even accurate, seems inflated, so hardly any cost savings). Many of the dresses were barely more than 20% off, most lower. They do have a small selection (1 rack) of plus sized dresses, although I didn't look through them but something to consider if you fall into that size range. Most of the dress sizes in bridal sizes 8-12, which had several racks. Hastily purchased a gown that I do regret. Note their policy of final sale, no exchanges. They do not take walk ins, but I called day of and received a same day appointment. I guess if you're desperate for a last minute dress with not many options, this places fills a role as you may find something to settle on. Apparently they have independent tailors they work with in store who they claim can quickly do last minute alterations as well but I cannot speak to the quality of said work and I see reviews questioning the quality. I also noticed they handle sales tax in an unusual way, which others may want to be aware of. Wouldn't say this is worth including in your journey to finding a gown in NYC unless you've run out of options.

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.

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.

    SAID YES TO THE DRESS!…read more I had an incredible experience at WONA in New York City. I booked an appointment for 5 Pm on a Friday, and from the moment I walked in, I was so impressed by the space. It is extremely large, clean, and beautifully decorated. They have two completely separate, huge rooms, so you are in total privacy from any other bride, which made the appointment feel really personal and calm. It was by far the largest room I had been in at any bridal salon in New York City. The guest area was also beautiful, with a large, gorgeous couch, and the actual fitting room was huge (definitely the most space I had anywhere while trying on dresses). My stylist was Sylvia, and she was absolutely amazing. She knew the dresses inside and out, answered all of my questions immediately, and seemed to know exactly which dresses I would want to try on. She was extremely personable and gave the perfect amount of space for me to figure out what I liked about each dress, while also offering helpful suggestions and options for what could be changed. I ended up wanting to personalize a dress with detachable sleeves and a non-sparkle lace, and Sylvia knew all of the customization options perfectly. She showed me exactly what the changes could look like and even brought out the identical lace without sparkles so I could really visualize it. She was so patient with me and handled everything perfectly, offering suggestions without ever being overbearing or pushy. She let me walk around in the dress, sit down, and do various poses. I really love many of their dresses as they have the corset back, making them so secure and giving breathability. They have so many incredible dresses with different styles, so it truly is a great place to find a dress. I later came back for a "say yes" appointment with some of my bridesmaids as I was between two dresses, and unfortunately Sylvia wasn't there. I wish I could remember the name of the stylist who helped me that day, because she was truly just as wonderful. I ended up saying yes to the dress, and the team was very patient while answering all of my questions and letting me read through the entire contract. I had seen some reviews mentioning concerns about the post-purchase experience, so I was a little nervous after purchasing, especially because I had questions about the sleeves and customized lace. However, when I emailed them, they responded very quickly and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I'm happy to update this review as the process continues, but so far WONA has been incredible. The space, the dresses, the privacy, the customization options, and most of all the stylists made this such a special and positive experience.

I had Sylvia as my stylist/consultant for the day and she was amazing!!! So sweet, so patient, and knowledgeable about the dresses and veils in stock, so she was able to help me make my decision pretty quickly! She made me feel super comfortable. I felt like the girls you see on TV shows and movies with the private room, Prosecco, and my loved ones by my side. There were plenty of unique dresses to choose from. Thankfully I'd already done my research so I knew what I wanted to try on. I loved the ambience of the place. I literally felt like the only girl in the building thanks to how the rooms are set up. It's super private, and maybe the music playing drowns out the other groups of people in the building. Or maybe my excitement was really loud too lol. I also love the window view -- I was able to look out and realize every so often that I was really in New York shopping for a wedding dress. If you purchase a dress, you get to take pictures with the yes to the dress sign, and they also send you off with a nice gift bag as a thank you! I wasn't expecting that! I would recommend this location for your dress needs. As beautiful as these dresses are, they don't exactly break the bank which is a relief. So you don't have to worry about compromising finances to feel beautiful on your big day. Thank you again Sylvia and to her manager as well. You both were fantastic!

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.
