Found the most beautiful dress of my dreams at be unique! Erica was very helpful through the whole process- so much more individual attention than you would get at a larger bridal store

I had the best experience at Be Unique Boutique.
It felt like everything just fell into place but it was Erika. She made me feel so seen and heard. She understood my vision and I ended up purchasing my entire wedding look from her.

TLDR: This small shop packs a punch with a beautifully curated collection of dresses and accessories. Erika knows EXACTLY what she is doing.
The Deets:
This was NOT the first bridal shop I went to. I wanted to begin with the biggest selection possible so I decided to go to a larger shop up North…I should have just gone to Erika and Be Unique from the start! The larger store had uninterested stylists who pulled dress after dress without much consideration (or so it seemed). I left that shop feeling dejected.
Growing up in Mt. Kisco I always told myself that I would one day shop at BUB for my wedding gown. I remember staring at their beautiful displays every time I walked to town or drove by on my way home. Erika has impeccable taste and a BEAUTIFUL selection of gowns, each carefully curated to suit a number of styles and budgets. She will listen to your vision and thoughtfully pull from her selection with your words in mind.
Erika pulled several dresses for me that were already miles ahead of my prior experience in terms of fitting my vision. I ultimately chose a gown by Kitty Chen called Petra that was perfectly within my budget. Erika pulled some accessories to help finish the look and I fell in love with every piece she added! Her taste and eye for pulling a look together are just spot on.
I also had my gown tailored by the BUB seamstress. She did a fantastic job, taking her time to ensure I felt comfortable with the fit and explaining any limitations. She also explained the function of each layer of my skirt, letting me know how certain things would be tailored and ensuring I was comfortable with cutting this or how that might be altered to fit best.
Overall the whole experience, from trying on to tailoring to accessories, was reassuring and calming. I felt perfect in my gown and was so confident in the choices we made. Thank you, Erika, for a wonderful experience!

I recently had the pleasure of discovering my dream wedding dress at Be Unique Boutique, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the entire experience. From the moment I walked through the doors to the final fitting, every aspect of my journey was nothing short of exceptional.
Erika, the talented and incredibly accommodating owner of the store, made the entire process a joy. Planning appointments and determining when the dress would arrive were seamless tasks, thanks to her efficiency and friendliness. Erika's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set Be Unique Boutique apart.
What impressed me most was Erika's ability to truly listen to my vision for the perfect dress. With a keen eye for style and a wealth of experience, she effortlessly picked out THE dress on the first try. It was evident that she understood not only the technical aspects of wedding dress selection but also the emotional significance behind finding the perfect gown.
Being in Erika's experienced hands was a true relief. Her discerning eye for fashion and unwavering commitment to ensuring her clients are overjoyed with their choices make Be Unique Boutique a standout in the bridal shopping scene.
I am beyond excited about my wedding dress and the memories it will create on my special day. The entire experience at Be Unique Boutique has been nothing short of magical. If you are on the hunt for a bridal shop that combines exceptional service, a curated selection of beautiful dresses, and an owner who genuinely cares about making your dreams come true, look no further than Be Unique Boutique.
I wholeheartedly recommend this boutique to anyone searching for the perfect wedding dress. Thank you, Erika, for making my dress shopping experience unforgettable. Be Unique Boutique is truly a gem in the world of bridal shops!

Erika is amazing! I went to 5 different locations looking for my dream dress and had no luck. When I went to Be Unique Boutique I explained what I was looking for and Erika knew exactly the dress I had in mind without even seeing it first. I tried on 3 dresses at her boutique before saying ‘yes to the dress’. Can’t recommend her and her selection enough! I bought my cathedral veil here as well and everyone on the day of the wedding couldn’t stop complimenting how stunning the dress and veil were. I wish I skipped all the other bridal stores and went straight to Be Unique Boutique.

Bought my wedding dress and veil here and it was absolutely perfect. Erika was a pleasure to work with - she is very elegant/knows her stuff but also was honest / very helpful when navigating decisions. She also was very easy to get in contact with whether it was months or days prior. Florence who helped with alterations is very talented at her job and was able to figure out how to bustle my dress perfectly. My mom ended up finding her mother of the bride dress at the boutique too. Would highly recommend.

If your looking for your dream dress and want someone who is ALL IN to making your vision come to life- I would suggest you run and not walk to be unique boutique! Erika is extremely dedicated, professional, and helpful when going through your dress process. I had a winter wedding and she just completely got my vision after explaining what I was looking for! She is kind and makes you feel stunning once you find "the" dress. I am forever grateful for her in helping me pick out my dream dress but also how flexible she was in scheduling appointments as I was traveling from out of state. My mom loved the store so much Erika even helped finding her a dress! They do have great mother of the bride options.
Florence (her seamstress) is knowledgeable, kind, and will make sure your dress is ready to go for the big day. She will provide options for bustles and ultimately will help you with what will best fit with the style of your dress. I highly recommend Be Unique Boutique!

I have only good things to say about Erika and her boutique! She goes above and beyond for her clients if you’re looking for a specific dress she will try and get it to her store for you to be able to try it! I wanted this one specific wedding dress that Erika had ordered to her store for me to try on she had known a little bit about what style I’m normally into so she pulled a dress from her store she thought I might like so I had options. It turned out that I did not like the dress I originally wanted and the one that she chose for me I fell in love with and so did my mom and my maid of honors! It was an instant yes for me and I had absolutely no dress regrets! The amount of compliments I got at my wedding were endless, I felt beautiful in it and it was so comfortable I danced all night! Thank you so much Erika! Everyone should go to her boutique to find your dress you will not be disappointed!

I literally went to ONE boutique for my dress: Be Unique Boutique! The service was top-notch— I walked in and Erika had already pulled out dresses based on what I told her I wanted. It made the experience feel personal, but also kept it efficient! I should also mention that my flight got cancelled due to a hurricane, so I had to postpone my appointment last minute. I was stressing (what else is a bride to do, right?), but Erika let me know it was fine and we were able to reschedule. If I had to do it over again, I would, without hesitation, contact this boutique again! Thank you for everything, Erika!!!

This shop is BEAUTIFUL!! Erika is so helpful- listens to everything you have in mind, is honest when you ask for feedback, and has such beautiful dresses. After hearing what I had in mind, I honestly only tried on 4 dresses and found the one!!! It was such an easy, fun experience. Highly recommend coming here!!

Erika has a stunning selection of wedding dresses. She listens carefully to your ideas for your dress and selects dresses for you that really match your ideas. She was extremely flexible with setting up dress appointments for me, my mom, and maid of honor even after a couple of last minute cancellations due to work/health issues. All of the dresses arrived in a very timely manner. My wedding dress was absolutely perfect and I have had so many compliments on how beautiful the design and cut of the dress were. My mom and MOH also found gorgeous dresses. Erika also recommended an alterations shop to use, who were absolutely fantastic to work with (although she does have her own tailor as well). Overall, we were all very satisfied with the service and I definitely recommend checking her shop out.

My experience with Be Unique Boutique was exceptional. The owner, Erika, is involved every step of the way. She selectively chooses every wedding dress she offers at her shop which are all so beautiful. She was polite, honest and provided VIP customer service for all of her clients. She truly loves what she does and it shows. I could not recommend this boutique more.

Just AMAZING!! Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else but Be Unique Boutique. Erika is extremely friendly, kind, accommodating and knowledgeable. Erika and Florence saved my wedding day!! I bought my dress at Be Unique Boutique, but since I live on Long Island about an hour and a half away, I decided to get it altered somewhere local. Unfortunately, the seamstress at the other location completely botched my dress. Erika was kind enough to let me send her photos and fit me in their very busy schedule to have everything fixed. Thankfully, after a few alterations my dress was perfect again!! Cannot be more thankful and would recommend to anyone! Would give 10 stars if I could!!!

Erika was just amazing. I went in not really knowing what kind of dress I wanted. She took one look at me and was able to pull 5 or 6 dresses. By the fourth dress I knew I found the dress. All alterations were done in her shop and the dress fit perfectly! This was the only store I went to and I don’t have any regrets

I had an amazing experience at Be Unique Boutique! Erika is a master at finding the perfect dress, both with her expertise and taking your opinions and ideas into account. She also has a variety of price ranges. She picked the perfect selection of dresses for me to try based on what I told her - only the second one I tried on was "the one"! Alterations were timely and easy, all in-house. My mom even found her MOB dress there, which was gorgeous. My dress was stunning, unique and received many compliments - I'm still getting them! Erika and Be Unique Boutique made my wedding dress dreams come, and I can't recommend them enough.

My experience at Be Unique Boutique was absolutely amazing. I needed to find a wedding dress while COVID-19 restrictions were still in place. Erika, the owner, scheduled a private appointment for me, my maid of honor, my mom, and my mother in law. She took her time showing me over 6 dresses and with each dress, she took into account the feedback and opinions. She was certain that the last dress would be the one and she was right! We purchased my dress and veil on the spot.
It was a lovely curated private experience that you won’t get a large “wedding factory” store.
Erika was always available via phone or email to answer any questions or provide updates in the months leading up to the dress’s arrival. Once my dress arrived, she called me immediately to schedule my first fitting. I decided to get my fittings done at Be Unique Boutique because of the intimacy of the space and the 1:1 service. My fittings were as private as my dress appointment.
I had a total of 4 fittings and everything came out beautifully. The seamstress, Florence, went above and beyond to make sure everything came out perfectly. She even added a second tier to my cathedral veil so that I could cover my face during the ceremony. On my last fitting, Florence educated me and my mother on how to manage my long train throughout the day and showed us how to fold it so that it can sit on my arm during travel. She showed us how to do my bustle and took her time going over it more than once so that we were clear on what had to be done. Erika even steamed the silk portion of my dress before we took it home.
I highly recommend Be Unique Boutique for your bridal needs. Such a great and cute store with very knowledgeable professionals. I am so grateful to them and I can’t wait to share photos of my wedding!

BUB was a phenomenal experience for finding my dream dress! It was my third and final shop and they offered a beautiful array of designers that I did not see at some of the other places! Erika was extremely helpful and picked out gorgeous dresses for me to try on - but of course- her first suggestion ended up being the one I said yes to! She has a very good eye for what will look good on you so trust her suggestions. Highly addictive recommend!

Erika has a vision and knows what works. She provides an intimate and amazing service. You will find everything you need, including jewelry and other accessories, to complete your look. Florence the seamstress is also amazingly patient and talented. Try this boutique before heading to the larger bridal stores, you will be happy you did!

I got my Martina Liana wedding gown from Be Unique Boutique for my August wedding! Erika was so helpful every step of the way. She helped me find the gown that was perfect for my body type. She helped me pick out a matching veil, and jewelry to complete the look. When we had to postpone our wedding, she was able to store my dress safely for a year. The seamstress did a great job and my dress looked perfect on the big day. Highly recommend shopping here for your wedding gown!

Erika at Be Unique Boutique made my wedding dress dreams come true. I showed her a photo of something I loved with a few things I would change, and she knew exactly what I wanted. I loved the FIRST dress I put on. LOVED it. However, like any other bride, how can you not try on others??? So, I went to a few other bridal places, and nothing compared to the dress she showed me, the one one one attention and care I was getting and the private feel of her storefront.
So, naturally I went back and bought the very first dress I tried on! Erika was so accommodating and flexible with appointments, fittings, etc. Her seamstress was also lovely. I loved the alternations she made to my dress. They were so patient with me! I had like 5 fittings, and even wanted to make another change like 4 days before the wedding (due to weight loss!) and they made it happen for me.
Wonderful experience. Thank you, Erika!

I am so happy that I found Be Unique Boutique a few months ago. It was the first and only Bridal Salon I went to. When you strike gold in a place, you do not go looking for silver. Erika was so accommodating, friendly, and organized. I gave her an idea of what I was looking for and she even threw some dresses in that weren't necessarily my style as to give me an idea of what I want and do not want. Dress #5 was the one! I went for three alternations appointments in house and Florence was amazing. My dress was show stopping, unique, vintage, and beautiful. I could not be happier.

The owner Erika picked a wedding dress that was perfect for my frame. Without her input, I would have gone wrong. My dress as well as the full selection of gowns at the salon are gorgeous made by European designers, out of beautiful fabrics, appliqués. After going to Kleinfelds, I felt the attention and selection of elegant gowns were a better fit for me. Erika also made the fitting experience a very pleasant one where I was able to further customize a strapless gown into one with beautiful tulle cap sleeves. Her boutique should be at the top of your wedding gown shopping list!

She also helped pick the most beautiful veil! She has been nothing but accommodating and I'm so happy to have someone like her on my side.

I highly recommend this bridal boutique! Erika is so knowledgeable about all of her dresses and truly knows what dresses suit her clients. She only has one client in at a time (even prior to covid) and takes her time to listen to the bride and what she wants. Erika knows what flatters all body shapes, even for bridesmaid dresses, and finds the perfect dress for her brides. The last dress she put me in was the one! Erika works within the budget you give her and wants you to love the dress as much as she does. After finding the dress, her seamstress Florence goes above and beyond tailoring the dress to fit perfectly. I had 4-5 fittings to make sure the dress fit like a glove. The bustle Florence created on my dress was heavenly! I got so many compliments from everyone about how perfect the dress was for me and that it appeared as though the dress was truly made for me. I would recommend Be Unique Boutique to any bride in a heartbeat and hope that when it’s my sisters turn, that she too goes to see Erika!

I highly recommend “Be Unique” in Mt Kisco! Erica, the owner has a huge selection. At a first glance, the shop may seem small, but it’s deceiving, she has an expansive selection. With so many options, choosing a direction to move in can be overwhelming. Have no fear, Erica is a consummate professional who has guided countless brides throughout the years. She helps navigate and guides you to what works best with your body. She suggested a dress for me which wound up being “the dress!” My dress was so unique and stunning. It had beaded straps, lace throughout, a gorgeous lace train and the entire dress had beaded accents that sparkled with every movement. After you select your dress, Florence does the alterations. Florence and Erica are both perfectionists and make a great team. Everyone and I mean everyone commented on how incredibly gorgeous and unique my dress was. Everyone said it look like it was built for me and my body. It fit so perfectly. I felt gorgeous on my wedding day. I highly highly recommend Be Unique to all brides!

I tried on a million dresses at a million different places. I am SO happy I got my dress at Be Unique Boutique. Don’t forget that after you buy your dress, you’ll be going to a ton of alterations appointments. Do you want to go to RK Bridal or Kleinfelds or another huge warehouse where they have 500 dresses stored in the back and they’re extremely disorganized? I was so happy to go here where I was never stressed about them forgetting what needed to be done with my dress or losing it. Erika is so organized. And the seamstress, Florence, is the best. She made me feel so comfortable right from the start and did an amazing job. I am so so happy I went here. Thank you both!

I was the type of bride that new exactly what type of dress I wanted for my big day. I brought my few photos to several big wedding gown shops & boutiques and always left knowing that my dress was out there. I searched online for retailers that sold Eddy K with very specific dresses in mind and as luck would have it, Erika was the only one able to get me the dress I was looking for! The experience here was far superior to every place I went (especially when compared to giant stores that I probably can’t name, but you’d know it from a popular TLC show 😝) From start to finish, I was happy every step of the way and my dress looked absolutely perfect. Florence made sure that even the bustle was flawless. Thanks so much, ladies, for giving me my fairytale dress and such a great experience leading up to the big day!

Wow! I could not have been happier with my dress buying experience with Erika and Be Unique Boutique. I did not want to overwhelm myself by going to the city or going to any big stores. Erika was so welcoming and treats each client with on-on-one attention. Her boutique is maintained with care, with no shoes beyond one point, and each dress being in a garment bag. She has rules for a reason!
As brides may hear, "You may think you want one type of dress and wind up with something different" That was me. After I tried some designs I saw from her site, and was not thrilled with how I looked, Erika said, "I know exactly what you want" and she was 100% right! We picked the perfect veil and jewelry as well.
I had a bit of a pre-wedding crisis too. Literally one month before the wedding, my mom wanted a new dress (she did not get her original one from here). Erika was so patient and willing to help us. Because she takes great care of the dresses on the floor (which I did not see at other stores) she found the perfect dress for my mom that we could have that day. Florencia, the seamstress, was able to squeeze my mom in last minute as well. She looked beautiful and I've never seen her more happy while in this dress and all dolled up.
I highly recommend Be Unique Boutique! Erika and Florencia were both wonderful.

One of the best choices I made for my wedding was walking into Be Unique! I described the vision I had in my head, and within 5 minutes Erika pulled 5 dresses that were exactly what I was looking for! I only had to choose which I loved the most! AND under my stated budget. When it came time for my fittings, the seamstress Una was amazing! They both were perfectionists and made sure the dress fit exactly the way I wanted. I also got my veil and all accessories from them as well. They really give you personal attention, time, and care during each visit, which made it such an enjoyable experience!

To say Erika is amazing is definitely an understatement. I traveled to Westchester from Baltimore to shop for my dress with my mom, maid of honor, and another of my bridesmaids. My bridesmaid made the appointment for me on a whim, and when our crew showed up Erika was incredibly accommodating. She pulled dresses for me, and the first one was THE one. Her selection is beautiful and truly unique, and the gown I purchased is unlike any I’ve ever seen. Florence is also amazing in her own right — she is a complete wizard with alterations! My dress has lost of intricate lace details, so hemming it involved Florence delicately removing each piece of lace at the bottom, raising the hem, and then reconstructing the bottom with those little lace pieces and it is FLAWLESS. And can I just say, THE BUSTLE! My dress has a long layered train with tons of fabric, and Florence constructed a seven point bustle the like of which I’ve never seen: the fabric lays beautifully, it’s not bulky whatsoever, and it looks like it was just designed that way originally. I can’t imagine a better experience buying a dress — working with Erika was more than I could have hoped for! You will not be disappointed!

I cannot say enough nice words about this store! I tried on a wedding dress where I loved the bottom but not the top. I was assured by Erika and her seamstress that the top could be altered the way I wanted. Needless to say, they came through in a MAJOR way! The top of the dress was altered even better than I imagined. Erika was professional and courteous at all times. She definitely knows what she is talking about. I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. I will be coming here again for future special occasion dresses!

I am so happy I decided to visit Be Unique Boutique to try on wedding dresses. I wasn't sure what to expect from a boutique with a small selection (compared to larger bridal salons), but my experience there was wonderful from start to finish. Erika, the store owner, pulled a bunch of dresses to fit my style, body and budget. I was impressed with the beauty and quality of the dresses and how affordable they were! Erika was very friendly, honest and helpful. I could tell she truly cared and that made me feel confident and comfortable. Alterations were a breeze... Florence paid attention to all of my concerns and she spent as much time as was needed to make sure my dress fit me perfectly. Her talent and attention to detail are impeccable. It was such a pleasure to work with both Erika and Florence throughout the entire process. If you have any doubts about visiting Be Unique Boutique, just get rid of them and go!

Be Unique Boutique is the place to go for your wedding dress without a doubt! Erika was honest, helpful and a total expert when it came to finding the right dress for me. Florence, the seamstress was so kind and so delightful. She made the necessary alterations to my dress which came out perfectly! Everyone to my family and friends were in complete awe of my dress - from the veil to the accessories, everyone loved it and inquired where we went to find it. I would recommend Erika and Florence a million times over - they made the process fun, exciting and stress free! Thank you for everything!

Be Unique Boutique exceeded my expectations! Not only was Erica helpful, she is an expert in the field and extremely kind. Florence, the seamstress is a true talent and equally as kind and friendly. My wedding dress experience from start to finish was absolutely stress-free and enjoyable. I am beyond ecstatic with how my dress turned out and everyone was talking about how beautiful my dress was and how it fit so perfectly. Thank you both for making this experience so wonderful. I will miss seeing you :)

My oldest daughter bought her dress here and we will be back when my two other daughters get married. The whole experience was pleasant and easy from beginning to end. We told Erika what we were looking for and within a half hour we had found “the dress”.

For my son’s wedding, I wanted something special. Not just a mother of the groom dress, but something really special! Erika with her unique eye for detail and her true advice was perfection! The dress was stunning and her careful attention to my concerns was amazingly spot on!!! She continued to advise me through the fittings and gave me the feeling that I was in good hands! This small boutique is anything but small when you are her customer. She treats you like royalty!

I found Be Unique Bridal vie the blog website Borrowed & Blue and I cant begin to tell you what a a blessing that was! I went dress shopping to several small shops and to big chain stores but when I tell you I found the most PERFECT Dress at Be Unique Bridal!
Erika has such a great personality and is so knowledgeable of her field. From the moment she had me try on my dress (Martina Liana-803) I fell in LOVE! All I did was show her dress of certain brands and styles I was interested in and BAMM we found a dress that fit me and my body perfectly. I was actually going to pick a dress that was not for my body type and she helped me find a dress that was still conservative but had a sexy look too it.
When my wedding planning would stress me out I just kept telling myself “My Dress” will be worth it! Even though the bridal shop was almost an hour away a from me I would tell Erika if you were loser I would be here everyday trying on this dress!!!
And let me tell you it was ... When I tell you you will receive such amazing attention and exactly what you want when working with Erika’s seamstress Florence! She worked on creating the best fit for my dress so it would not fall since it was a sweetheart I didn’t want to be pulling up my dress all night & not once all night did I have to do that!
I can’t begin to tell you how much of a great experience it was to work with these two ladies!
Stop looking else where and Go to BE UNIQUE BRIDAL!
The only sad part about all of this is that i cant wear my dress everyday ... LOL

I cannot day enough about how wonderful Erika is! She is sweet and caring, and she knew what would fit on my body before I even knew! I would recommend her to anyone in the search of their wedding dress, or mother of the bride dress!

When I began my wedding dress search I had a dress/designer in mind and Be Unique Boutique conveniently carried both! From the moment we walked into the shop you could tell Erika knew her stuff! She is extremely professional, kind and knows every detail about wedding gowns. I was nervous about starting to shop for dresses because I didn’t want to feel any sort of pressure to purchase a dress without being 100% sure. This was not the case at Be Unique. Erika was truthful about the amount of time it takes to order a dress (mine came from Australia), but still did not put any pressure on me to make the purchase. Conveniently for me, the first dress I tried on was the one! From the time I purchased my dress to the last fitting, every appointment was so pleasant and enjoyable! I had a total of 3 fittings and each one was painless! The seamstress, Florence, was amazing!! She listened to any comments or concerns you had. It was easy to tell Florence is so talented in her work! I wanted to incorporate a piece of my Mom’s wedding dress on mine, so when I brought a piece into one of my fittings she suggested adding some of the lace to my train, and the rest as the buttons on my bustle. It was so creative, and so special! My dress, a Martina Liana, was my absolute dream dress. It fit me like a glove and was one of the most original dresses I had ever seen. I received so many compliments on my dress, I wish I could wear it over and over! If you’re looking to support a local business, Be Unique is the place!

Erika and everyone at Be Unique are absolutely AMAZING! My dress looks like i spent way too much money on it but i was able to stay within my budget and have my dream gown. When i went into Be Unique I had no idea what I wanted and Erika made me comfortable and really helped me narrow focus. She is actually the one that picked my dress and i will be telling every bride i know to go see her! Also, alterations were incredible. The dress fits better than i ever imagined.

I found Be Unique Boutique while searching for one dress in particular that I had fell in love with online. I found that this shop carried the same designer of this one dress so I called and spoke to Erika and she said that she did not have it, but that she could try to get it for me to try it on with no commitment. She called me back within the hour to tell me she had found the dress and then I had an appointment within a week! Turns out that the dress was not as flattering in person as it was online and I was a bit disappointed because I really did love it, but she pulled out several other dresses for me to try on based on what she thought I might like and dresses that she thought would look flattering for me and my shape. After trying on about 4 other dresses... I SAID YES TO THE DRESS! I thought I would be the girl to try on dress after dress and go to bridal boutique after bridal boutique, but this dress was like it was made for me. This dress was not even close to what I envisioned myself wearing on my wedding day, but once I tried it on, I didn't want to try on any other dresses, I was sold! Erika was so kind and patient and also very honest, which was very important to me to have an outside opinion. Her seamstress, Florence, was just as incredible. The two of them together work so well together and they know exactly what they are doing and they genuinely want to see their brides happy. They were both very accommodating with my hectic work schedule and they work with you and your budget as well. Be Unique Boutique comes highly recommended by me!

Amazing selection of dresses (I loved the selection here way more than Kleinfelds). Ericka, the owner, has a great eye for putting you in the perfect dress to compliment your shape and personality. I would highly recommend this boutique!

Working with Erika and Be Unique Boutique was a wonderful experience. I had an idea of the dress I wanted and when I went to Erika with pictures and a few style items that I wanted included on the dress, she knew exactly what I was thinking of right away. She pulled 4 beautiful dresses from her collection and as I tried each on, she asked questions and gave me her honest feedback of each one. She thought of the things me and family wouldn't necessarily think of. The 4th dress was the one and from then on, Erika had everything covered. When things went wrong or timing was tight, she advocated for the bride and made it happen. I felt like a princess in her store and when the day finally came, the first person I wanted to share photos with was Erika! This is a boutique where you will get the assistance and customer service you deserve.

Every single person at my wedding complimented me on my dress. It was absolutely perfect, stunning, beautiful - I could go on and on.

EXCELLENT experience... Erika is fantastic. She is a true professional. I gave her a few key words as to what types of dresses i did, and did not like, and it was like she read my mind. I loved my wedding dress so much, I wish I could wear it every day. They tailored it to fit me like an absolute glove and I felt beautiful. She also does NOT try to upsell you or push you out of your price range. Excellent experience.

Erika made my experience at Be Unique Boutique an absolute dream. She is diligent, knowledgeable, and truly cares. Her selection of wedding dresses was also the best I had seen after spending some days dress shopping in the city. Her seamstress Florence is also fantastic. Their attention to detail in like no other, and the personal attention you receive makes the experience so special. Not only did I get my wedding dress there, I also got my veil and jewelry, my mom also got her dress, and we got all 8 of my bridesmaids dresses there. There is honestly no reason to go anywhere else. If you are looking for a stunning wedding dress with the most incredible costumer service, Be Unique Boutique on the way to go.

This little bridal shop is great! I wanted a very simple dress and Erika helped us find the perfect one. I went to 3 different bridal stores after BUB and came back to buy the second dress I tried there.
When it came time for the alterations Florence was the best! She put me at ease during the fittings and made the dress fit perfectly!
I would recommend this boutique to any bride to be.

I couldn't imagine a better experience than the one I had this year with Erika & Florence! At my first appointment Erika selected dresses that fit my budget, body type & style and I chose the 5th one I tried on! She also styled it w/ a matching veil and a beautiful, sparkly unique belt. The fitting schedule was seamless and I always felt I was in good hands. The dresses in her store look like a million bucks compared to other ones I had seen & the quality is outstanding. Florence made my dress fit like a glove and the bustle was very easy to attach. She even hides safety pins in the dress in case of emergency! But I didn't need a thing, I wore the dress for the entire reception (and I danced my butt off) & after party and never wanted to take it off. Thank you, Be Unique Boutique, for an outstanding job. I looked like a movie star!!

I got the absolute most beautiful dress from this boutique. Florence did an amazing job with the alterations - I ended up needing three of them. The only downfall is that the boutique is very popular and Erika is the only saleswoman. Half of my time at the boutique was great and I had a wonderful experience. The other half, the boutique was overbooked, which isn't a good experience during a bridal fitting . Then two weeks before the wedding when I was supposed to pick up my dress after my final fitting - it wasn't ready because they were so backed up with alterations and dresses. I picked up my dress a week before, but it fit like a glove and was beautiful.

Erika is the best! So professional and helpful. She has stunning dresses to choose from and a lot of them. I searched for a while in NYC for my dress until I found erika. Her professional experience and confidence is what helped me to all find my dress! Her seamstress Florence is absolutely amazing as well. Thanks to her my dress fits like a glove! Florence was happy to do 3 rounds of alterations since I lost a few pounds. I also ripped my veil two weeks before the wedding and Erika was sweet enough to give me her floor sample of the same veil! I love be unique boutique!

Could not be happier with the service Erika provided. From day one, before I even purchased my dress, I felt like a bride. Erika took my appointment via email, greeted me at the door and walked me through picking out the perfect dress for me. I felt cared for and extremely confident in my choice. I chose a dress that day. My first appointment and the first dress I picked out, was the one I chose! From there Florence, the seamstress, and Erika helped me with 4 different fittings. Each time I felt the dress was fine and each time they found other ways to perfect the dress. Every bride stresses over her big day, but I did not have to think twice about my wedding dress thanks to these wonderful women!!!

Great customer service! I was reccomended by a family member to make an appointment at Be Unique. I booked an appointment then logged on to see which deisngers they carried in store so I knew what to expect. I saw they carried Martina Liana gowns; one of the ONLY local shops in NY that does! I found a few Martina Liana dresses that I loved on the internet and emailed the shop owner asking if she had the 2 specific dresses in store. She said yes and I was very excited for my appointment. When I came in the day of the appointment, I sa
