Bridal Finery Nancy Rodrigues Spirito

nd hairpiece was one of the few details for my wedding day that was important to me. The original artist less than one month before the wedding bailed, and I happened upon Nancy's page. We spoke and despite the super quick turnaround, she agreed to make my dream a reality. Nancy made sure to keep me in the loop as she worked through the designs and build of an ornate bridal belt and hairpiece made of seaglass. Her creativity and ability to take my ill-described mental picture into reality was MIND BLOWING! She built a piece that has so much meaning to me, and will be a family heirloom that I will pass along for generations. I received so many compliments on the belt and hairpiece, and it absolutely MADE my bridal look. HUGE THANK YOU to Nancy!!!!

gown ripping, you went right into action. You were with us from start to finish. All day Amanda kept saying “ I don’t know what we would’ve done without Nancy!!” Your warmth and demeanor were just what we all needed!! You truly were a life saver!! We had hired a personal assistant that disappeared, thank God you were there! You were everything to us!! We will be forever grateful to you, you were truly the reason everything went off without a hitch. There is no doubt in our minds! I enjoyed our talks and time spent together, I hope to see you again, maybe over lunch! I’m waiting for your invoice!! Thank you, our forever friend❤️

ed with choosing a hairpiece and it was truly a beautiful piece. She never made me feel rushed and was very responsive to communication. Everything was timely and I would recommend her to anyone getting married; a great experience from start to finish!

of our dresses perfectly set up and ready to go for our big day. She was ready with any task that came her way a stain, a broken strap, a wrinkled dress she can handle it all with grace. She is a MUST for your wedding.

rs and ensuring no small mark went un-noticed. Nancy even took the time to talk with my 89-year-old grandmother while working away, and that made her day that she could sit and watch the overall process take place. If you have the opportunity, book Bridal Finery and there will be no doubts that your wedding day attire will be perfect!

s so flexible and accommodating. When I changed days on her and didn't have an exact location until she arrived it was no issue at all. She is so professional and even made a protective layer for my dress to be transported from where I was getting ready to where I was getting married. Nancy is so great and I am so thankful to have found her!

le the day off, helping myself and my bridesmaids with anything we needed. She approached everything with the warmest of candor and touch. I would HIGHLy recommend her!

ayer until it was perfect. She cares so much about her work, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional service and quality.

med and prepped right on time at our venue. She is so kind and good at communicating, she made everything work perfectly. I was so worried when my tailor said she was concerned with my raw silk material that it would wrinkle during transportation and we were a month out of our wedding and hadn’t thought about dress care for day of. Nancy to the rescue! So glad we could work with her. She helped my mom put on the tons of buttons all down the back of my dress so my mom felt a part of getting me ready, but I still felt good with Nancy there as a professional in case things got tricky with all the buttons! Thank you Nancy and bridal finery!

I was barley able to get it fitted so that was good enough! My sister and I steamed the gown with small travel steamers and it was such a pain, took forever, and didn’t look that good. The next year I had the big reception and I did not want to steam my gown by myself again and I really didn’t want anyyyyy wrinkles. Nancy was recommended by our venue Castle Hill Inn in Newport. She was so responsive and ready to help in any way possible. She picked up the gown at the hotel I was staying at, brought it to the venue, spent hours making sure it was absolutely perfect, and I was able to just show up at the venue and put it on!!!!! She was the absolute best, first I would highly recommend getting your gown professionally steamed the day of your wedding and second you have to use Nancy.

to my veil. She made me a gorgeous hairpiece for my wedding and found me matching earrings to boot. Working with Nancy felt like working with a loving family member or friend who genuinely cared that I got my dream wedding day. She was also flawless in steaming my wedding dress, groom’s tux, and bridal party attire. I highly recommend her services. You won’t regret it.

y perfect for my big day. She was pleasant and made conversation with my friends and family as we were busy preparing details for the wedding but she was never intrusive. She also very kindly offered to steam out my mother's dress and our officiant's tuxedo, both of which also looked perfect. I would 100% recommend Nancy to ensure your wedding apparel is picture perfect!

nd did not trust myself with steaming my wedding gown! I reached out to Nancy to see if she could come to the hotel to steam and ready my dress and veil and it was a dream. She was so easy to schedule and work around a time that worked best for having the dress ready in my guestroom prior to having my family over before the wedding began. Even when she was working, I could tell she truly cared about what she was doing and to make everything as perfect as can be, even snipping some loose strings left over from my tailor's alterations. I would recommend her to anyone that is traveling with their dress so you can be sure it'll look beautiful in person and photos!

ond for us - she pressed my now husband's suit in the week leading up to the wedding, she steamed my dress beautifully, making it absolutely exquisite on our wedding day, and she stayed with us for our day proving to be invaluable throughout the day (most particularly when I immediately spilled olive oil on my dress about 10 minutes into the reception - thank you, Nancy!!!!). Nancy fit into our day seamlessly. She took such care of my dress (and me!) at every step of our wedding day (even to the point of giving my maid of honor tips for how to help me get to the bathroom, if that isn't 10 star service, I don't know what it is). She helped fluffing my dress for photos, she took such care with my veil, she was literally with me all day long and, I mean this in the nicest way possible, I hardly noticed because she never interrupted anything I was doing, she just worked invisibly in tandem with everything else that was going on. Nancy is beyond kind. She is a calming presence, ready with whatever you might need at any moment, and a joy to be around. We feel so grateful for so many of our vendors, but Nancy brought more than we ever could have imagined to our day. We got married during covid, and if there is anyone I wish I could have hugged at the end of the day, it's Nancy. Thank you, for all you did for me, you made me feel like a princess from the second I saw my dress, through every picture, until the last seconds of the day. Thank you.

ly person, pleasant to be around, and was so helpful during such a crazy busy time.

l length veil. Truthfully at first I felt like I *should* be able to steam my own dress/veil and didn't want to take on any additional expense, but I was really concerned about getting everything done in the tight timeline. You usually can't check into your bridal suite until a certain time so likely have to steam the dress offsite and then move it - back in the bag, where it can get wrinkled again. Plus the night before you are pretty busy with your rehearsal dinner! The last thing I wanted to be doing on my wedding day was steaming my dress on my hands and knees. So I called Nancy and it was one of the best last minute decisions I made! She was so quick to respond and reassured me all would be taken care of. We actually never even crossed paths in person - the hotel let her into the suite and she did her thing and the dress came out perfectly. A few of my bridesmaids had left their dresses in the room and she steamed those as well since she finished a little earlier than she expected, which was a lovely bonus. You will have a lot to do the days leading up to your wedding.... Do yourself a favor and let Nancy make it easier on you by getting your dress in perfect condition!

rrived in Newport, Rhode Island. Nancy arrived at my hotel, steamed my wedding dress, and had my wedding gown looking like new in a matter of a few hours. All by hand! She steamed by husband’s tux as well and did an amazing job! In addition, when I opened by my garment bag with my wedding dress, the cups that were supposed to be sewn into my dress, where not there. I was panicked! Nancy came to the rescue and altered cups into my dress. HUGE relief. Nancy is professional, reliably, produces excellent quality work, and cares about her clients! Without any reservations, I highly recommend Nancy! Thank you, Nancy! You are the best!

ress after it was steamed. We were in a pinch when our loft had no rods nor hangers in the closets to hang dresses when we needed space to hang the bride’s gown and mine ( the mother of the bride’s dress) as well as 9 bridesmaids dresses that were to ascend upon us the next day. Nancy removed this stress by solving our problem. She happened to have a doll rod and extra hardware on hand to hang the bridesmaid’s dresses. It was so nice that Nancy was so reasonable for this extra hardware. Thank you, Nancy for taking such good care of us!

glad we had her help. She is thoroughly professional, very kind and exceedingly helpful with good suggestions. Well worth having her because she made the dresses look so perfect and she was so nice!

sional, friendly, detail-oriented and full of great ideas, Nancy was a valuable member of the wedding day team.

t down to the store. Nancy really knows what she is talking about when looking for the perfect accessories for your big day. She had a way of explaining the looks and the jewelry that made it so much fun. I ended up purchasing my earrings and hairpiece with her. You will not believe the number of compliments I got! Thank you Nancy for taking time to really get to know me, learn my story, and picking out the most FABULOUS accessories for me!

for perfection and what is right for your gown. We really valued all her opinions on creating the veil and what hairpiece would compliment it. We were so excited to see the finished product, beautiful and perfect. Not only did Nancy make our veil, but had input on our invitations. She is talented, sweet, understanding, responsive and easy to work with. If you are looking for your wow veil or accessories, Nancy is your go to girl!!

or my veil and had seen something similar on a very expensive designer veil. Nancy took the time to piece together my ideas and make it a reality! Working with her was like going to see an old friend, she made everything easy and fun. Nancy even made my veil convertible so that I could still have the cathedral length that I dreamed of but also keep it on longer. She made the veil so that the longer piece unsnapped & I could wear the shorter piece through my cocktail hour without having to carry it draped over my arm. My veil ended up being one of my absolute favorite parts of my wedding day look. We cannot thank her enough or say enough kind things, her work is outstanding!

and all of my bridesmaids' dresses were perfectly steamed and ready to go -- a hung beautifully for photos! It made it so nice and easy, with no one running around trying to get out last minute wrinkles. I would absolutely recommend her to any bride looking for these services on her wedding day!

n Providence, Rhode Island and the dress was coming from New York with me, as was the long, lace veil and train. I knew that there was no way the dress and veil were not going to be a wrinkled, creased mess no matter how hard I tried just due to the journey. In fact, all the wedding party members were travelling to RI and I had concerns about the state of all the bridesmaid’s dresses and groomsmen’s suits once they arrived. Our wedding coordinator from the venue, The Providence Public Library, recommended Nancy very highly so I reached out to her, that was the best decision I ever could have made! Nancy was responsive and kind, understanding my concerns and giving me all the options of her availability and skills. She really made me feel confident that all the garments would be ready for the big day no matter what condition they started out in. She was very flexible with when she could come to our hotel so on Friday night as we went to the rehearsal dinner, I met Nancy and her sweet assistant at the Bridal Suite, let her in and showed her the garments (Wedding dress, veil, MOB dress, 5 bridesmaid’s dresses, 7 suits) and left for Rehearsal Dinner. When we came back and went to the Bridal Suite, I honestly was blown away by the sight of my daughter’s gorgeous dress and veil, perfectly steamed and hanging beautifully , it was incredible! Every dress and suit looked perfect and ready to go, it truly was unbelievable how fantastic Nancy made everything look. All my worries and anxiety just washed away and I knew that we would look fantastic for the big day. Nancy was professional, friendly, kind, understanding and I felt she was truly committed to her work and really cared about us. It meant more than I can really express. I highly recommend Nancy and her amazing skills to make any bride and bridal party look absolutely perfect on their wedding day! I am forever grateful for her help and will always remember how great she made our day. Do not hesitate to have her help your day be perfect!

for those special items for my own wedding. Nancy is a true professional and so very kind! She sat me down in front of a mirror and pulled so many different beautiful pieces. She was able to differentiate each piece and recommend why they would be the best fit. She also gave me many tips and tricks on bridal styling and placement of my veil...things you would never really know unless you had someone like Nancy leading you in the right direction. Thank you Nancy for all of your wonderful assistance and your professionalism. I would recommend you to anyone I know!

ceptions and you can tell from the minute you meet her that she cares so much about the bride, the family and her job. She ended up staying until after the ceremony and wish she could have stayed and celebrated with us since she became part of our family! We HIGHLY recommend Nancy, you will be SO thrilled!

aveled with my gown and despite having to take it on a plane, you'd never have known after Nancy finished her magic. Nancy worked on my dress while we were out and about, and I completely trusted her my dress. I highly recommend Nancy!

terrupt anything. She was very friendly to work with as well.

ith in the lead-up to the wedding, and she did an absolutely perfect job steaming my wedding dress and about 14 tuxedos for the wedding party. I was bringing my dress from San Francisco and the tuxedos were coming in from all over the United States, so the only time Nancy could steam the garments was Friday night during the rehearsal dinner after everyone had arrived with their clothes. I was concerned this would be an issue, but I shouldn't have been -- this didn't phase Nancy one bit. She came to our hotel at 7 p.m. on Friday, and spent multiple hours there working on our clothes. By the time we got back from the rehearsal dinner that night, everything was laid out perfectly, and all of the tuxedos were organized with individual name tags for the owner of each tuxedo on each hanger. People were taking pictures of the tuxedo rack - it was so well-organized and they had never seen anything quite like it. 1000% would recommend Nancy to anyone getting married in the Newport, R.I. area.

dding planner myself, I often send clients to Nancy to select their accessories and for her dress-steaming services. She has the best selection and quality of accessories in the area and as a dressmaker herself she knows the ins and outs of any garment. She is a gem!

to coustumize your vision. Anyone looking for unique one of kind pieces...Bridal Finery is a must

Nancy for her extremely talented steaming, and other, skills! Nancy is very professional, flexible, affordable, and knowledgeable in her field and completely worked around my wedding schedule to make herself available. I had a September wedding in Newport RI. Nancy traveled to me with all of her equipment and did a stunning job steaming my bridal gown, veil (which was my mom’s and is extremely valuable and sentimental to me), and my 9 bridesmaid dresses. Knowing Nancy was coming the night before my wedding put all my worries aside knowing my bridesmaids and I would be traveling with our dresses “packed away.” Nancy did a beautiful, professional job and I’m happy to say my dress and veil looked and felt amazing my entire wedding day- through all the sitting, standing, and dancing! I highly recommend Nancy for dress steaming (as well as for any men suits!!) for your wedding day. It is hard to find such a talented seamstress who does the quality work as Nancy does. Thank you, thank you!

eil I could ever imagine and helped me find the hair accessory that pulled it all together. Nancy is so gifted and so lovely and I just can't recommend her enough. As a wedding vendor myself, I have been referring brides to her for years based on her work and phenomenal reputation. I was thrilled to finally be able to experience her magic firsthand.

on for my pashminas that I gave as favors. They were a huge success and the perfect accessory! My guest loved them! She was very responsive and it was a pleasure working with her!

vise us on wedding pieces. I didn't know if I wanted a veil, and she guided us through and I ended up getting a veil, a hair piece and earrings all from her. The pieces were beautiful! Then we found out that she did day of steaming of dresses. Even better! She was so lovely and came in to our hotel room to get mine, and some bridesmaids dresses ready for that day. Nancy's calm and kind nature were very welcome on a stressful day!

desmaids coming from various states and the bride's veil coming from another. We needed lots of help with ensuring all our garments were ready for the big event. We were extremely fortunate to hear about Nancy and Bridal Finery. She was very responsive to all my emails, phone calls and panic moments. She arrived on time the morning of the wedding and ensured everyone's ensemble was perfect. She even added additional loops to my daughters wedding dress to ensure the maid of honor would have no issues bustling it (and showed the MOH how to bustle). Her rates were very reasonable. If that wasn't enough, Nancy also creates BEAUTIFUL hair pieces. The bride and her two bridesmaids all chose incredible pieces finishing off their wedding look perfectly. Thank you Nancy for helping make our day just wonderful.

has such attention to detail that no one can compare to. She immediately picked pieces she knew I would fall in love with, because she listened to my vision and also gave me wonderful suggestions along the way. Her knowledge and skills in her industry exceed any client’s expectations. Nancy made my dress band and jewelry (necklace, earrings and hair piece) that much more special and beautiful! Thank you so much, Nancy! xoxo, Mrs. Stamouli

atch my wedding day look. She was quick to respond and a pleasure to work with.

ated my dream headpiece for my wedding along with my veil, jewelry, and all of my bridesmaids gifts. Everything she created for me was breathtaking and exactly what I wanted. She was so precise with her work and enjoyed every second just to see me happy and satisfied. She is so accomedating and reasonable. You will not be let down!

ally came to our hotel the day before the wedding as we were leaving for a welcome reception - all we did was let her in our hotel room, and she steamed each bridesmaid top and my dress while we were gone! It was so convenient. She even stitched something for my friend who had a last-minute malfunction! Nancy is the best at what she does...I would definitely recommend booking her.

ne!

on other clothing at home.) As a result I called Nancy and she was wonderful- she came on site to Oceancliff and dreamed my dress and veil in my bridal suite the day before the wedding. The dress and veil came out perfect! I would readily recommend Nancy to anyone looking for last minute steaming or dress help!

r accessory! From beginning to end, Nancy was very patient, offered numerous ideas and suggestions, asked questions to get the big picture of my wedding, and ultimately helped me find the perfect accessory. I would highly recommend Bridal Finery.!

t of town too. Nancy swooped in to save the day and couldn't have been easier or nicer to work with. She personally picked up my wedding dress, veil, and all eight bridesmaids dresses and hand delivered them to our wedding venue where she steamed them to perfection. My bridesmaids looked lovely, and I never felt to beautiful! Nancy's day-of wedding styling was perfection - her knowledge and expertise was beyond helpful from pinning in my veil and bustling my wedding dress after the ceremony to making sure the wedding party was always photo ready. Her calm, cool, and collected demeanor was such a godsend on the big day - she didn't even blink an eye when I fell and ripped my dress. She SAVED the day, stitched me back up, and had me back on the dance floor in no time. It was a miracle she was there! I am so appreciative for everything, Nancy! Thank you Bridal Finery!
