I had the most incredible experience at Wander Atelier--it was actually the very first place I went…read morewedding dress shopping, and it completely set the bar. I initially came in specifically to try on designs from Alena Leena, a designer I had fallen in love with online. During my first visit, I worked with Nicole, the owner, who was so kind, patient, and genuinely supportive. As someone who didn't fully know what I wanted yet, I never felt rushed or pressured--she made the entire experience feel exciting and comfortable. Nicole suggested I come back for an Alena Leena trunk show, and I'm so grateful I did. At my second appointment, Angelica helped me and was an amazing listener--she really understood my vision and helped guide me without ever pushing me in a direction that didn't feel like "me." That visit turned out to be everything. I found my dream dress from the trunk show collection, but I also couldn't stop thinking about another dress I had fallen in love with during my first visit (which happened to be on sale!). I had always dreamed of having two dresses--one for the ceremony and one for the reception--but didn't think it would actually be possible within my budget. Thanks to the Wander team, it was possible. I walked out of that appointment with both of my dream Alena Leena dresses and a veil--all within budget. I truly can't thank the team at Wander Atelier enough. They made what could have been an overwhelming process feel effortless, special, and so personal. If you're even considering going, do it--you'll be in the best hands.

Wander Atelier was my fourth and final stop in the search for my wedding dress! As a Brooklyn bride…read morewith a heart for Jersey, I was excited to check out this highly recommended bridal shop by one of my bridesmaids - who also found her wedding dress here! Enter Angelica, the badass sister/friend you always wanted and stylist extraordinaire. She had such a genuine, honest demeanor that made me feel comfortable and confident. She listened intently to my vision for my wedding day and was able to read between the lines to understand what I truly wanted, even when I was trying to play it cool. Angelica's keen eye and industry expertise were a game-changer. Her ability to know the dress I was meant to love before I even realized it - simply by pointing out the one I couldn't stop staring at - was a testament to her skills. My experience at Wander Atelier was nothing short of unforgettable. I cannot recommend it enough to any bride-to-be in search of her dream gown. The level of care and attention Angelica gave me was unparalleled, and I know that she'll do the same for every bride she works with.

Four years later, I brought it back to be altered for my younger daughter and have a headpiece made. She also altered a flower-girl dress for us somewhere in there. In general, a nice place to go for custom-made or custom-tailored special-occasion outfits. It's not exactly a place to pop in on a whim, but if you've got something specific in mind it's worth a look.

After visiting just about every bridal shop in NJ I found "the one" at Bridal Atelier Montclair…read more The team in this shop is an absolute a pleasure to work with, I had an idea of what I wanted, we chatted about the details for the wedding, and then they pulled together a few samples. Next thing I knew I was scheduling a second appointment to come back with my bridesmaids and father to get their opinion on the 2 dresses I had fallen in love with. (After going to so many shops, friends and family stopped wanting to hit the road with me, so the first time I put on my dress it was just me, my mom, and a couple sales associates). The boutique itself is small, but don't let that fool you they have the best selection. A variety of dress fits, colors, and styles - a little something for everyone. Since it is on the smaller side, you essentially have the place to yourself which was a huge win! During the wedding and for years after I've gotten compliments and questions about where I purchased my dress. I cannot recommend this place enough, it was truly a great experience during such a crazy time. (I unfortunately, was a bride during COVID-19 - however, I have to say Bridal Atelier Montclair such a great partner during this trying time).

Christina accommodated many appointments and stayed late when the appointment ran late. I'm giving three stars SOLELY because of my experience with alternations. I was told before I bought my dress that altering the sleeves would be no problem. So I said yes to the dress because I was told the sleeves could be changed and was super excited. During my first fitting I was told by the seamstress that the sleeves couldn't be altered the way I was told they could. And if I wanted them like that I wouldn't be able to move my arms. If this was explained to be before buying the dress, I probably would've thought twice about that particular dress. (I would've undoubtedly bought my dress from Sister's Bridal because the service and selection was great). The alterations were very stressful and took 4, maybe 5, fittings to get the sleeves to look semi like what I was originally told (I live an hour+ away, and had to leave work early for many of these appointments). And the seamstress seemed VERY bothered by my alteration request. One my wedding day it was a disappointment with the way the custom alterations looked. The sleeves were uneven. One side held higher on my shoulder and the other wouldn't hold on my shoulder, it was lower on my arm. I can see this in every single forward facing picture from my wedding day. I can't even explain how disappointing that is. It wasn't how I was wearing it either. One side was altered differently and when I tried to move the other side down, material folded awkwardly. When I tried to move the lower side up, it pulled too much and wouldn't stay. Trust me, I tried! So, my advice is buy a dress you love 100% as is and IF you want custom alternations, have the actual seamstress there to say it can be done before buying the dress.

The selection was wonderful, and saying yes to my dress was such a special experience. Unfortunately, the dress pick-up process completely changed how I felt about the experience. I traveled over two hours specifically to purchase my dress from this shop. When it came time to schedule my pick-up, I was told it had to be after 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday. This was never disclosed when I purchased my dress, and it created a lot of unnecessary stress. I had to call multiple times and plead my case just to get an earlier appointment that worked with my schedule. As someone who traveled such a long distance, I would have appreciated having those scheduling limitations communicated upfront. Had I known, I honestly may have chosen to purchase my dress elsewhere. It really put a damper on what should have been one of the most exciting parts of the wedding planning process. I do want to end on a positive note because the woman who helped me during my pick-up appointment and assisted me while trying my dress back on was absolutely amazing. She was kind, patient, and made me feel excited all over again. Her professionalism and warmth were the highlight of my pick-up experience. I hope this feedback helps future brides and encourages the shop to be more transparent about pick-up policies from the beginning. Better communication would have made all the difference.
