The most amazing place. Try on all the dresses you like to see what is your favorite part of each one. THEN GO HERE and they will MAKE it for you! My daughter did this and got EXACTLY what she wanted. They are absolutely amazing at what they do!!! All of my daughters friends are going to have their dresses made here too. IR couldn't have been a better experience for all of us. read more

While I didn't end up getting my wedding dress from Loulette, my experience here was still 10/10. I made a Saturday appointment to try on dresses, and the whole store is closed just for you. You can view all of the dresses online, and I loved everything about their woman-owned, sustainable materials company. I had a few in mind, but also tried on others that after a consultation. I was told you can customize the dress (adding and subtracting) since they're made to order. They ended up being a little out of my price range, but if you're looking for something unique and beautiful, I would highly recommend trying Loulette read more

When I was starting to think about where to get a wedding dress for my NYC-based wedding, I dreaded having to sort through dozens of dresses at industrial-feeling showroom type of stores. A friend recommended Loulette Bride and I fell in love with their team and their Jordan dress in particular. Marteal, Sanaa, Nedim, and Jillian are down-to-earth, fun, and supportive of all bridal customers and their visions for their weddings. I loved playing dress-up with Marteal at my first designer appointment, though I was pretty zeroed-in on the Jordan. Sanaa and Nedim were lovely to work with for my fittings and were so welcoming to my mom and my future sisters-in-law. And Jillian made all of the communications and scheduling so easy! Depending on your budget, price may be a factor, but Loulette has a range of options and for me personally the value of working with such a kind and talented team, not to mention avoiding the time spent shopping around when I didn't want that kind of experience, was well worth it. Cannot recommend highly enough! Photos: Allison Sullivan Photography read more

Dear Marteal, Nedim, Sanaa, Jillian and Jade: To say that Loulette Bride is special would be a vast understatement. I am infinitely grateful for how safe and inspired I felt as you brought my dream wedding dress design to life while also guiding me on how to elevate the piece to a new level I absolutely couldn't have done anywhere else or on my own. Your warm, beautiful, inclusive and supportive space made every step of the process joyful and FUN. I almost cried I was so touched when Nedim and Sanaa literally did in the moment, additional, last minute alterations to make me feel more confident when I suddenly had a change of heart on the fit. Or when Marteal and I looked through fabrics like kids in a candy store. Or Jade greeting me with a smile as she worked on the sewing machine. Or how Jillian PATIENTLY and compassionately engaged with many back and forth emails filled with my unanticipated anxiety. This is a business of true artists that are passionate about uplifting the most important days of people's lives. Thank y'all so much. - Shira read more

While I haven't gotten a wedding dress quite yet, I've been fortunate enough to witness Loulette's trajectory for some time. I continue to swoon over their gorgeous, ethical, dreamy designs and cannot wait until my time comes to go here and create the dress of my dreams. This review is for a purchase I made for my sister in law prior to her 2021 wedding. She had to postpone their wedding due to Covid by a year, so I decided to cheekily purchase the "I f***ing do" crop top (she was a health care worker and beyond amazing waiting for her wedding day!) Unfortunately, even their 2021 wedding was impacted by another Covid surge and as such, we were unsure how much masking would be required. When I went to pick up the crop top, Marteal went out of her way to make a custom mask for my sister in law so she could have something to perfectly match her dress and simply through it in there free of charge as a token of gratitude for my SIL's line of work. Marteal and the entire Loulette team are just terrific. This review is long overdue, and I can't wait to come play dress up one day! read more

I learned about Loulette from my friend Sarah who got married the year before I did. She had a beautiful gown from Loulette. I started researching the shop and when I came in I think I surprised the owner, Marteal, a bit because I had the name of every dress in the collection memorized! I was very, very confident that my dress was at Loulette - but it did not end up being the one that I thought it was going to be! I LOVE my dress. I had the most incredible experience with Loulette Bridal when I got married last year. After gaining weight during the pandemic and dealing with the loss of my father, I was concerned about dress sizing and how it might affect my love for the dress. However, Marteal and her team were absolute gems and handled the situation with the utmost care and professionalism. Marteal, who was present when I chose the dress, ensured that the focus remained on my love for the gown rather than any numerical size. (I still don't know what size my dress is and that is for the best.) Throughout the fittings, Jillian and the exceptional seamstress (whose name unfortunately slipped my mind) provided invaluable support and expertise, making the fitting process smooth and enjoyable while Marteal was on maternity leave. What truly resonated with me was Loulette Bridal's ethos and values. I felt a genuine connection to what the company stands for, and this only added to my confidence in choosing them. The experience was seamless, and I am immensely grateful for the care and dedication shown by Marteal and her incredible team. Loulette Bridal not only helped me find the perfect dress but also made sure I felt beautiful and confident on my wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend Loulette Bridal to anyone seeking a meaningful and supportive bridal experience. read more

Incredible experience start to finish! One year after picking a dress, I wore it to our wedding. I felt fabulous, it fit perfectly, and I was incredibly comfortable the entire night (a top goal of mine from the beginning). Can't thank Marteal and her team enough. Gorgeous, gorgeous experience. read more

So glad to have Loulette in the neighborhood!!! Their designs are beyond beautiful + provide such a welcoming experience for their brides. Could not recommend them more! read more

I don't mean to play favorites, but hanging out (because it truly felt like hanging out with friends!) at Loulette was far and away one of the best parts of the wedding planning process. My wife and I both found our dresses with them - and I'm so genuinely grateful we ended up here for our first try-on session, because after an appointment at one of many other bridal studios we booked around the city with a much less personal vibe, we canceled the rest and went right back to where we started. Grateful for their kindness, their myriad customizable options, and their overall fun, inclusive way of existing in the bridal space. I will recommend Marteal, Jillian, and the entire team at Loulette again and again! read more

When I decided I wanted to get married, it was after years of believing I'd never want to get married, so I had no idea what I wanted out of a wedding and even less of an idea of what I wanted for a wedding dress, and I was super overwhelmed at the prospect of figuring it out. But from my first visit to Loulette to try on dresses I immediately felt comfortable and excited instead of stressed out. The space is beautiful, Marteal (designer/owner) and her small team of women are all extremely encouraging, knowledgeable and full of style. Marteal's dog (Mable!) was there and for me that was also a huge comfort factor. I probably tried on 20 of their gowns because it was so hard not to. I ultimately landed on THE ONE and could not wait until I was able to visit their studio again to try it on. In between that first appointment and my first fitting, Marteal and team were great with communications and by the time I was finally able to get my hands on it, I was thrilled. On top of the beauty of the experience and the GORGEOUS dress I ended up wearing for my wedding, knowing this is a small, women-owned local business (I can see their window from my apartment) that makes a ton of effort to give back, uses their platform to promote social justice issues, and cares more about sustainability than any wedding dress designer I came across, made me feel like I had made the perfect decision. I honestly wish I could get married every year just to keep supporting this business and trying on their gorgeous new lines that are out now. GO TO LOULETTE - YOU WILL NOT REGRET (it). read more

I had an incredible time getting my outfit for my wedding with Marteal and her team. The experience was personalized and we were greeted warmly with rose as soon as we arrived at the shop! I wanted something different for my wedding and Marteal helped me design a jumpsuit that really fits with my personality. What I love most about the shop is that part of the money you spend on your outfit goes to charities. In a world where many businesses are consumed with just profits its refreshing that this small business is using their platform for good. As a plus sized bride I felt great about my body trying on clothes here and its such an inclusive place. Can't recommend enough! read more

I came here after a long weekend of visiting six other bridal shops. What a breath of fresh air! The shop is bright and calming, and Jillian was a JOY to work with. She showed me tons of customization options, layering different dresses on top of each other and bringing me different fabrics to explore. She was incredible with brainstorming ideas based on photos I showed her. The pricing was very reasonable for a customized gown. I ultimately went in another direction but highly recommend that you put this store on your list when searching for your bridal gown! read more

Wow wow wow! Loulette is an absolute essential stop in your bridal journey (and most certainly where your journey will conclude, you will look no further than this amazing Brooklyn studio). It is literally a breath of fresh air from the overwhelming options and exhausting environments of most bridal salons and experiences. Marteal and her team make you feel like you've step into her home, where she is hanging out with all of her cool friends (and her dog), playing dress up. The pressure is so low and you will feel so confident trying on anything and everything, even the lingerie you hadn't expected to try on and model in broad daylight! Marteal's dresses are designed to fit actual human bodies so shape-wear, you can leave that in your bag because these dresses are carefully and thoughtfully made to make your body shine in any shape, color, size, whatever! I've never seen dresses look like they were meant to be worn by so many body types. It's truly an inclusive brand and sticks to its core values and commitments to women, inclusion, diversity, and sustainability. When you shop at Loulette, you'll want to take home the whole studio, or just move in... In addition to this insanely cool line up of dresses you'll fall in love with jackets, robes, lingerie (that you'll actually wear) and accessories that all complement your look. You'll feel like the bride YOU intended to be and nothing else. Loulette is empowering, exhilarating and truly makes you feel beautiful, there is none of the wedding diet talk and "if I lose this weight and tone this, this will fit" because everything already fits because it was designed to fit YOU! Also custom embroidery truly brought home this special piece for me. Thank you to Marteal, Timmy & all of the cool people in this space that make it so special! read more

Loulette Bride - Custom dyed and embroidered jacket - Bridal Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Marteal and her team go above and beyond to make your experience working with them easy and fun! From the minute I stepped into their beautiful studio, I knew my search for a dress was done and I found the most wonderful people I could trust to make my dress dreams come true. I worked closely with them to customize my dress and make all the little details come together. Could not recommend them more! read more

Loulette is an incredible shop. I had been following them on Instagram for years and finally got to visit in person! They even have gowns that are not all white which I really appreciate! The Skylar dress is UNBELIEVABLE. This brand supports and celebrates love in every shape and form and they have a dress for every kind of celebration! Highly recommend this beautiful shop. read more

While I didn't end up getting my dress at Loulette, I can't speak highly enough about my experience there. Such a warm environment, and beautiful, comfortable dresses. The customization options are nearly endless, and it's so fun to think about piecing together your dream dress. Would highly recommend. read more

Incredible experience! I was fortunate to find Loulette early on in my search for the perfect wedding dress and I was glad that I did! Everything about the experience was perfect. Loulette made the dress shopping experience feel fun, inclusive, and not daunting or overwhelming. And not to mention the products are beautiful. I loved my dress and capelette of my dreams! I also love what they stand behind as a brand. read more

Loulette Bride, Marteal, and her whole team are absolutely incredible. The whole experience was delightful and relaxed, and I would absolutely recommend them to any bride. On top of that, my dress was a dream. I was able to work with Marteal to put 4 dresses into one and even add a special detail that didn't exist before. The quality was amazing (it even held up during a thunderstorm!) and was literally my dream dress. They also do good for the planet, the world, and social justice. I'm in love! read more

For the future person getting married/ If you care where your money is going, if you care about the environment, if you care about society, if you care about inclusivity, this is the place for you. From my first fitting, which I had to go totally alone because of covid, Marteal opened her doors like an old friend and I got to live out my 90s movie fitting room montage. She let me go over time, gave me her feedback when asked, and basically emotionally supported me, which is what every new bride needs in the process because it's scary knowing you're going to spend a lot of money on a dress and Marteal knew that. I knew right away going into this fitting that I would find my dream dress here and that I did. Not only did I find my dream dress, each dress is made to order and you can customize ANYTHING you want . In my instance, I made the train longer, and adjusted my slip. Things I hadn't even thought about but Marteal remembered a comment I made earlier on in our appointment and reminded me of. I also knew that I didn't want to do an outfit change but have some sort of fun reveal and the fringe jacket I got as well here did JUST that. Also something to note was my dress was all of 5 lbs- it was so light and fit comfortable the whole night even after dancing for hours upon hours. The dress was perfect. Also knowing that this beautiful piece of clothing donated money to an organization I am passionate about and planted a tree means the world to me. So Congratulations you're getting married! I hope this review has shown you that Loulette Bride is an insanely special place and any person (dang right any person because this place is so welcoming and inclusive) should add this to your list to make an appointment at because I want you all engaged people to know what it's like to have one step in your massive wedding planning process to be easy, and that is what Loulette bridal was for me. read more

I wish I knew about this designer when I was dress shopping! I ventured to their space in Brooklyn for a lingerie fitting, but peeked at the dresses while I was there and loved the vintage, feminine details. On the lingerie side, LaTimberly was welcoming and her designs are gorgeous. I fell in love with the fringe-y Dallas robe and the flowy separates. Worth the trip out to this cool, shared space if you're looking for something special* read more

Amazing dresses made with love! I love what this bridal company stands for along with making beautiful bridal dresses. 10/10 recommend!

I visited Loulette as a "dip your toes in" appointment to kick off my dress purchasing journey. I should have stopped at just one appointment and threw down a deposit. I cannot say enough amazing things about Jillian and the whole team. I immediately felt so at ease and all of my ideas were heard and incorporated into every part of my time there. This is absolutely the place to go for amazingly well crafted custom wedding attire that truly feels like a collaboration of your ideas and their skill. I've been elsewhere closer to my home base in PA but I'm actively looking forward to contacting these amazing humans for another trip to find/make my perfect dress. read more

I had such a positive experience here. I felt like a real woman shopping for a beautiful garment and not some cookie cutter ill-fitting sample size. I could really imagine what the gowns would look like on my body and felt like the best version of myself. Absolutely no pressure to buy on the first appointment and so many fun styling tips. read more

Had a beautiful custom dress made by Marteal for my September wedding! Not only did I get compliments from my whole family, I felt comfortable and danced my heart out all night long. I went in with my mom and best friends, the experience was lovely and filled with canned bubbly supplied by Marteal! If you want a beautiful dress made with love and attention to detail, this is the place to go. read more

I cannot imagine having found a dress without Loulette! The whole team was amazing to work with and makes you feel so cared for throughout the whole process.

Would recommend Loulette x1000 to anyone looking for the right wedding day fit, especially if the Traditional Bridal Norm isn't for you. They're the best!!! read more

The best bridal experience I had (I went to lots of other bridal shop). The studio is drenched in light and had the BEST vibes and Martel is incredibly talented and will work with you to make you the perfect dress. I'm so thankful I found Loulette and couldn't recommend it more read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with the Loulette team! From the gorgeous space to the lovely and accommodating team, they really nailed every aspect of the experience. They foster such a creative and inclusive atmosphere and will help you create the dress of your dreams. Where other bridal shops will immediately shut down an idea with a no, Marteal and her team will "yes and...." I only wish I could go back every year :) read more

While the dresses are beautiful and the business is run with integrity - I would be cautious if you are both sensitive and overweight. I loved everything about my experience... until I got to the fitting appointments. I didn't love how the dress was fit to my body shape and when I voiced my opinion I did not feel heard at all. I was basically told my wants for the dress were impossible because I was not a sample size. For a shop that claims to customize dresses any way you want, I was surprised at how I was treated at the fitting compared to how I was treated at my first visit. It really ruined the rest of my dress experiences and how I felt in the dress. I did wear the dress on my special day and got lots of compliments if that counts for anything. If you are skinny I would recommend this place. read more

Though I didn't get a dress at Loulette in the end, I had a really positive experience and would definitely recommend considering Loulette for your wedding dress. I loved the dresses, jumpsuits, and sets. It was a very relaxed and welcoming environment, and one of my favorites to visit. read more

The most perfect experience I could have ever imagined. Marteal and her team were so welcoming and comforting from day one. She understood my vision and helped make it happen, leading to a basically custom dress that I am obsessed with. Could not recommend more. read more

Booked an appointment a few weeks in advance and a few days prior, after my mother booked a flight to come from San Francisco to New York to help me shop for dresses, Loulette cancelled on me because they "overbooked" for the weekend. Not only have I lost this appointment (that was previously confirmed) but now I've missed out on other appointments for the weekend as well! Recommend going with more trustworthy bridal shops in the city - there are so many that are actually professional and responsive. read more

My partner and I had an amazing experience here! Loulette's studio is so comfortable and welcoming! If you're looking for a positive experience as a trans person, I highly recommend Loulette Bride!!!! read more

I am SO GLAD I found Marteal and the incredible team at Loulette Bride! We had two ceremonies and I ended up buying both outfits from Loulette - a jumpsuit and a dress.

They're an incredibly talented and flexible team, committed to crafting something truly stunning. So so grateful to them for making me feel so beautiful.

Working with Marteal was a very personalized and special bridal experience. Her designs are gorgeous and inclusive, and she made the whole process really fun and not overwhelming at all.

Absolutely wonderful and stress-free bridal experience. read more
