I can't possibly put into words how amazing Flair is. Kaitie was my stylist, and she was beyond amazing!!! I was so nervous to try on dresses, and she immediately made me feel so so comfortable. She got to know me in such a short time, and knew EXACTLY what dress was going to make my heart melt. Everyone always said "when you know you know".... Kaitie brought out a dress she knew was for me, and immediately, without words, we knew! I felt so connected with her and Stacey in so many ways. I can't put down enough positive reviews for Flair and how they make you feel!! Absolutely magical!! From my dress, to my veil, it was the best experience I have ever had in my entire life!!! Thank you!!!!

I came to Flair to find bridal accessories, since I bought my dress in California but live in…read moreBoston. I made an accessories appointment and they helped me look at belts, hairpieces (mostly the kind that would wrap around a bun, or pin-style hairpieces that could complement a veil), and earrings. It isn't a huge collection, but I did find both a belt and earrings! They can also do veils at the accessories appointments, but I already had one. This is a nicer place and the prices do reflect that. For reference, the belt was on the order of a few hundred dollars. This was more than I personally expected, but apparently it is handmade by a local artist, which makes sense. It is gorgeous and seems worth the price, but that is something to be aware of for folks like me who had no idea what wedding accessories go for! Lila was very helpful, and also directed me to some potential tailors for dress alterations.

What I like about Winnie couture is that you can literally customize and build your own wedding dress. I felt so welcomed and the quality of dresses here are impressive compared to their prices.

I am happy to say I have found the dress I love and I could not have done so without her help. Kelsey is an asset to the team. All ladies were nice and the boutique is stunning. Thank you!

I had a wonderful experience at Musette and found exactly what I was looking for! Reese was…read moreextremely helpful without being pushy or overbearing. With each dress I tried on she offered suggestions around ways to change or alter the dress depending on what I liked or didn't like. For the dress I ended up going with, she had the great idea to add detachable straps so that I could have 1 look for the church and something different (and easier to dance in) for the reception. I will say that I was skeptical at first because I couldn't get a sense of what to expect from their website or social media presence. It is a little confusing whether or not you are shopping at Musette or Boston Bridal Rack given that they share space on the 4th floor of the building. To be honest I'm still not clear which selection goes with which store but that didn't sway me from purchasing my dress. Definitely worth making an appointment here & try to work with Reese if you can!

I joined my daughter, the bride, and her best friend on the dress shopping excursion. L'elite has a fabulously curated assortment of dresses, combined with professional and knowledgeable sales representatives. We worked with Shamim and she was excellent! Shamim was able to quickly determine which dresses would look best on the bride. We did not expect to buy the very first dress that she tried on, but that's exactly what happened. The process was that good at L'elite! In addition, Shamim made the experience fun and informative. Not only did we find the most beautiful dress but the experience was also the most efficient use of our time. It was an amazing experience! I would highly recommend L'elite!

My favorite part about Floravere is the fact that Lay only has one appointment at a time. It felt…read morespecial, and there was less space for judgement than when many other people are also trying on dresses. The gowns themselves are stunning-the fabric is so beautiful and feels good against your skin. Some of the dresses are lined in silk, which is so luxurious. My favorite part is that they were also so comfortable but still looked like a million dollars. I worked with Lay and she was fantastic. Fun and professional and complimentary. I didn't bring people with me, but I was able to call a friend on FaceTime, and Lay helped talk through the details of the gowns and helped to steer me gently away from gowns that were way above my budget. The dresses are a perfect mix of modern, trendy, classic, and traditional, so I would definitely recommend for someone who's having a hard time finding a dress that fits their style. I'd love to say "I will shop here again," but.... I'm hoping to never have to buy another wedding dress again lol. But I WILL tell my friends to give Floravere a try.

When the BuyWithMe for this came up I had to take advantage of it.

Update: After posting my review, a manager called me and…read moreoffered to reimburse me for any alterations needed to the dress, and asked that after the reimbursements were made for my review to be adjusted. After being sent the receipt for the many alterations needed on the dress, Bella Bridesmaids asked me to send them the dress so they could have a look at it. I have not heard a word back since and have reached out multiple times. No reimbursement whatsoever, and they stole the dress that I had bought from them. I will continue to be in touch until I am both given my dress back and reimbursed FULLY for every alteration that was needed. Absolutely disgusting service. Original review: The dress I ordered fit TERRIBLY--It was as if they didn't take any of my measurements. They also wouldn't return any of my calls asking about alterations. Luckily I was able to find a tailor in the area (who agreed that the dress was poorly made) to help when Bella Bridesmaids wouldn't.

I wanted to write this review for two reasons. One to talk about my experience with this store and…read moresecond to share some insight on bridal industry. If you don't know this the companies that make and design the dresses decide what "sample size" is. They usually base this off a size 4/6 for what they call standard or straight sizes and a 16/18 for plus. Every clothing brand has different sizing and bridal sizing for whatever reason appears to run smaller than normal sizing. Its going to be very hard to order a dress without measurements and the measurements taken are matched against the sizing chart from the bridal companies. Most people are in between sizes. So if you are annoyed about the size of dresses to try on then say something to the clothing brands, post that on insta and facebook and push them for more sizes. My sister's and I went to Bella in decemeber 2019. We were late arriving because of a small accident on the highway on our way there. Even though the store was busy we had our own space and we were not rushed despite going over our appointment time. The woman who worked with us let us try on everything we were interested in seeing. I was excited to go to the Boston store even though I live in New York because they had brands that are not available in the other locations. I wanted to order and pay for the dresses myself and I reached out Brit who helped me do this on the website. Our wedding was going to be in June. In April we realized it would not be safe or smart to go ahead with this plan. I reached out to Brit and she has worked with me to come up with a plan for what to do since we are now rescheduling. Having to plan a wedding once is stressful enough. I never thought i would have to plan it all again, so I am hugely grateful to Brit and Bella for making this process easier
