She really understood how I wanted the entire look to come together and did a fantastic job with my dress, making it fit like a glove. I'm so grateful to everyone who brought my vision to life! I loved my dress so much that I turned it into a cocktail dress to wear again and again! Thank you all!

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).

I fell in love with Anne Barge & said yes to the dress! Over the last few months, Rachel and Deb (the head seamstress) helped me look like the most beautiful bride possible in my dress.

I also want to thank you for all your insight on my dress. I hate my arms and you found the perfect solution. You also helped out the grooms Mom.

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.

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.

I bought my dress online somewhere else but came here to get it fitted. It was the second place I…read morewent to, and Arlenes was a much more reasonable quote. To get hem shortened, there was 2 months to wait, so don't delay, ladies. The seamstress Jessi seemed very nice and like she knew what she was doing. When I came back 2 months later, it hadn't been done because the chalk marks had worn off, which sucked. Jessi said she could get it done later in afternoon but woman you make appointment with said that wasn't possible and I had to come back a week. It was still a month before my wedding, but I would just tell women to give plenty of time in case of delays. When I did get it, it fit well and the price was right, so I'd still recommend if time isn't of the essence. Parking is super minimal and almost no street parking, so if possible, hand someone else be able to quickly pick you up so you don't walk several blocks carrying a dress. Right now they are appointment only and keep door locked, so again, early preparation is critical.

After going to ten bridal stores I found my Mother of the Bride dress at Vesa. When I walked into…read morethe store I met Elsa who assisted me. I told her the color of the dress that I was looking for and she started pulling out gowns for me to try on and as she handed me one more gown she said "try this one on it just came in". As it turned out that gown became mine. I asked to have black crystal buttons sewn down the back. Elsa went shopping and texted me two different buttons asking which one I preferred. Her seamstress was amazing and the alterations were perfect. The store has a loft feeling, large windows that let in a lot of light and four racks of gowns that I had not seen anywhere else. Elsa also allowed me to take pictures of the gown, where other shop owners forbid it . That alone made me feel confident that she knows her business so well and puts her customers first . I had not experienced that level of comfort and caring in any of the other stores that I went to. Now you might ask how did I find out about Vesa?
