Brides by NoNA

rides by Nona team with that vision, and Nneka created a design that genuinely took my breath away. She brought to life the most beautiful two-piece look that transformed from an elegant moment into the sweetest mini, and it felt like she captured a whole new chapter of us in that dress. Watching it go from sketches to the final fitting was such a special experience. The entire Brides by Nona team poured so much love and excellence into every detail, and I truly felt it. I’m still obsessed with my dress and so grateful I chose them. I recommend Brides by Nona with my whole heart.

dating and tended to every need! And made my wedding day perfect!!

ir customer service was exceptional. The team was incredibly responsive, answering all my questions promptly and guiding me through the design process with helpful suggestions. The attention to detail was remarkable. They took the time to understand my vision and incorporated my ideas beautifully into the final product. When my veil arrived, it was even more stunning than I had imagined! The craftsmanship was impeccable, and the materials used were of the highest quality, making it a perfect complement to my wedding dress. Overall, I highly recommend Brides by Nona for anyone looking to create a custom veil. Their combination of great customer service, prompt delivery, and beautiful craftsmanship truly sets them apart in the wedding industry. Thank you, Brides by Nona, for helping to make my special day even more memorable!

two months out, my original gown encountered unexpected issues. I had one month until my wedding day, when Nneka's dedication and craftsmanship began to save the day. My gown was absolutely stunning …so stunning that I want to wear it again! From the sketch’s, to my virtual measurements, and my fitting - everything was spot on. Not to mention my measurements were only taken once! I traveled to ATL (from VA) for my perfect fitting where Nneka and her team treated me like a queen. It was truly such a pleasure to work with she and her team, as they definitely followed through. Her willingness to accommodate my situation was incredibly touching for me. Iykyk. The attention to detail and the way she brought my vision to life were beyond words. Nneka and team, I can't thank you enough for making my special day perfect. I highly recommend Brides By Nona for anyone seeking a remarkable wedding gown experience! I must add that I had my eye on Brides by Nona for the past two years, but I never thought I’d actually be able to afford a custom gown given my time frame. Let’s just say God works in mysterious ways and blessing that are meant to be, will be! ❤️ I am forever grateful for you and your team. You all are a force to be reckoned with.

me across some dresses and designs I liked in part here and there on other advertisements, but they were nothing like the work of Nneka. When I got engaged, I immediately went online and booked an in-person consultation. A few weeks later I flew out to Atlanta for my appointment. There was a calming and refreshing feeling when I walked into her store and I immediately told my sister and personal planner, this is it. This is who is supposed to design and produce my wedding dress. She makes you feel like you are the only Bride in the World!!!! I told her that I knew what I wanted in my head, but I just couldn't quite explain it. Within 20 minutes of speaking with her, she described what she envisioned my dress to be. I cried like a baby because it was exactly what I wanted. She even described how she would stitch my deceased mother's name, in stones, on my wrist and forearm area, which is something she had never done before. I cried even harder. I We said our goodbyes and I flew back out. Within a few weeks, she sent me the 3D sketch of my dress and I said YES!!! My dress went into production and I waited anxiously. Shortly before the wedding, I flew back for my final fitting and the tears flowed again for what seems like forever when I saw the final product and tried it on. It was a perfect fit! Nneka came to my wedding to help dress me via her White Glove Service. God is so good because her flight was one of the few flights that was able to depart during the major outage in late July that delayed or canceled flights. I told her I wanted to look and feel like a princess for my ceremony and look "Chante' Sexy" for my reception. Let me tell you...MY GIRL OVER DELIVERED!!!!!!! Nneka, thank you for helping to make my dream become a reality. I recommend all brides to please give her a serious look. I know that not only have I found a designer for life, but that I have also found a sister and friend. Nneka's spirit is uniquely and spiritually different than those in her line of business and it is so refreshing. May God continue to Bless You, Nneka, beyond measure. Love, Chante'

ful on her prom day. I was so nervous having someone long distance design the. Nona and her team made this one in a lifetime prom experience stress free.

hile scrolling through her instagram. Her work speaks for itself! She is very talented and I’m happy to now own one of her custom designs ❤️ I would say I wish that there was a bit more communication being so far away from Atlanta there were times I felt a little bit unsure about timelines. But she was so nice and I loved the end result of my dress.

rides By Nona to create my dream wedding dress!!! I shared my ideas and vision with the team and they executed it. When I went to Atlanta for my fitting Nneka was very welcoming, so kind, loving and made me feel very comfortable. She even practiced how I should walk in my wedding dress and where I should position my bouquet when I made my first entrance. Please name one designer you know who does that with their clients? No one except our very own Nneka C. Alexander!!! Also, I can’t forget about my special angel Lexiee that was sent from God. She flew from Atlanta to California with my dress and attended to me the entire time. She dressed me on my wedding day and made the day so smooth and beautiful! I would highly recommend that all brides add this service to their package because it’s truly worth every single penny. Nneka, Lexiee, and the entire BBN team thank you so much for everything. I truly had the wedding of my dreams all thanks to you all. May God richly bless each and every one of you. Thank you a million times!! 🙏🏾❤️

by Nona to all the would be brides out there. You can never go wrong!

taken personally by the owner. We have a huge deposit and we’re told we would receive updates. Weeks went by. No pics and no videos. Text were sent no message. Finally first fitting was set in August. Flights, hotel and rental cars was arranged. The day before we were scheduled to leave, we get a call to say there was a death. We were scheduled again a month later. Once again, a day before we were called and fitting was cancelled. At this point we are in a panic. We have gave thousands of dollars and still no fitting. Two weeks before the wedding we are scheduled to fly in. We get a call from an assistant the day before the flight. The dress has not been cleaned and it take 3 days!!!! Are you kidding me. The week of wedding on a Tuesday an assistant is sent to New Jersey for the first fitting since we did measurements in April. Guess what!!! Dress doesn’t fit. My daughter is crying and hysterical because her wedding is that Friday. Plus the detachable bottom is not what was sketched. It was actually a big ball of tulle that was sewn like a 3 year old made it. Dress is taken back and brought back Thursday, one day before the wedding. My daughter can now pull it up but can’t sit down. At this point we are stuck and have no choice but to use this dress. I think we were after thoughts behind the owners celebrity clients or her millionaire clients. We were willing to spend the same green money but were treated AWFUL. I suggest if you are an out of town bride, DON’T DO IT!!! The communication and business practices are HORRIBLE. Please don’t respond and say I am not telling the truth because I have video and text messages. I would say more, but let this be your warning.

and creativity were superb and like none other. Brides by Nona delivered! My gown was unforgettable and there was no question that I was the Bride. Nneka and her team were top tier, professional, easily accessible and friendly. If you want a luxurious and timeless look I would highly recommend Brides by Nona as they never disappoint.

are since time wasn’t on our side. I was speechless when I saw the masterpiece digital design she sent to me. It took a while to accept the that fact this new design was going to be MY dress. I am so grateful for Ms. Nneka not only for designing the most amazing dress but for also having a heart of gold. She took her time to speak with me on the phone when I first contacted her and assured me that it will all work out. She listened to me vent and cry which she didn’t have to do. I’ll continue to recommend bridesbynona to every single bride-to-be because she’s just simply the best at what she does. Thank you so much again Ms. Nneka.

aid yes to the dress that I picked out in New York, however after making a consultation with Nona immediately after I canceled the purchase. Nona literally brought all my Ideas to life, first with a sketch and then as an actual gown. She not only designed my wedding gown but my reception dress as well and they were equally beautiful. My husband was in tears as he seen me walk down the aisle, our wedding was a month ago and he still talks about the dress daily. Nona is highly professional a sweetheart and she makes you feel very comfortable, this was very important to me because she has designed gown for many celebrity clients. Nona actually was recently in touch with me to help me sell my veil to one of her brides. I could literally go on and on about my experience with Nona but to sum it all up if you’re looking for a Couture gown to wow everyone don’t hesitate to contact her! Again my experience with her was truly a dream come true!

sked for a one of kind that lit up the room and she created me a dress that lit up the universe! She's amazing at what she does. I almost want to get married again just to have another creation made lol. You WILL NOT be disappointed in the designs she bring your way. She made my day magical! Over a month later and I'm still getting compliments on my gown. Thank you Nneka!

and cape. I'm still being complimented on my dress.

nded her to everyone I saw at the wedding; when my friends and family saw my dress, their mouths dropped. A true show stopper. Not only is Nneka good at what she does, but she’s also incredibly kind, honest, and knowledgeable! Get your dress from her if you want to feel like a princess on your special day!!

a mishap with another designer. She is my real life fairy god mother and BOTH my wedding dress and reception dress STOLE THE SHOW!!! I needed no alterations and she did everything in humility, grace and professionalism. She was so invested in my process that I felt so at peace with every decision. I still brag about my dress, her caring nature and my experience with her till date and BRIDESBYNONA is one brand that will never be left out of my wedding story. Thank You sooo much

n magical. I’m a bride who doesn’t like to follow trends, therefore my wedding dress had to be unique, and boy did she give me unique. My dress is one of a kind that it has been featured in articles, blogs, and global websites in it’s first week. That is because of the visionary that is, Bride by Nona. Just when you think she cannot make a dress more beautiful than the last, she knocks it out of the park with my incredible wedding dress. All this was done during a pandemic 😷. She is a perfectionist and has an impeccable eye like no other. It’s not just about the dress, Nneka actually takes the time to recommend how the bride should be styled from hairstyle, accessories, shoes, to the type of bouquet that will compliment your dress. Which other designer do you know that takes the time to capture the entire look you envisioned for your day?. If you are not wearing a Brides by Nona dress for your wedding/event, then your dress must be mediocre 🤣. IF IT MUST BE DONE, IT MUST BE DONE BY BRIDES BY NONA.

dn’t want to wear white. I gave you complete creative control, and you absolutely blew away. I am so grateful to you!🤍💍

oof. From day one, Nneka listened to my likes and dislikes in what I desired in my dress. At my first consultation she literally sketched dress ideas right in front of me! I was absolutely sold. I imagined a unique dress that would be a SHOWSTOPPER with a lot of bling. Bridesbynona always got right back to me. Answered every question. Even the ones not related to my dress lol I know some of the things she helped with was not in her job description. Apparently she’s also a therapist lol When I received my finished dress it was more than I could of dreamed. The swarovski crystals throughout the dress are breathtaking! She nailed the train with the length and dramatics I never knew I needed lol Quality is perfection! No alterations needed! I highly recommend! Everyone loved my dress!

ss but my husband and family as well. She’s literally heaven sent.

groom was, the date of the wedding, the location of the wedding or anything about the wedding. While prayerfully day dreaming @BrideByNona has been my dress maker of choice for YEARS! Fast forward to a wedding coming to fruition. I actually meet Nneka. She’s a dream. True professional. She didn’t make me feel like a client but a friend. I felt like I’d know her for years. I even call her for personal advice, she becomes that accessible to her customers. In the beginning I knew I wanted a modest dress and I knew I wanted a ball gown. Originally, I had sent Nneka inspirational pictures of the type of dress I wanted. Then a few days after meeting her I called her and told her that GOD had told me to give her creative control. I asked her to pray and let GOD guide her in what type of dress to make for me. I never asked her about the dress again. In fact when my wedding planner would ask what my dress looked like I’d tell him that I didn’t know. He’d give me a weird look and say “Ebe what kind of bride doesn’t know what her dress looks like at this point.” I always ended up laughing because he was correct. I didn’t know. I didn’t care. I wasn’t bothered. I trusted the HOLY SPIRIT within Nneka and I knew HE would NEVER steer us wrong. Behold the masterpiece! When the dress emerged it was fit for a Queen. Not a princess any longer but a Queen. I cannot lie at first I pondered if I’d be able to pull this off. The dress was more than I could have ever imagined. It exceeded all expectations. Anyone could see that this dress was divinely touched. And it was for me! I was wedding the best man in creation and now I’d have the best dress ever created. It seemed too much. But that’s the mighty GOD we serve. Just like JESUS said, “with GOD nothing is impossible”. I am living testimony. After the creation of the dress Nneka along with my twin sister @babelbeauty and a sister friend @lindabenjamin helped decide the hairstyle that would accompany this sensational dress. My original vision would not suit a dress so grand. That’s how the updo was born. So @bridesbyNona didn’t just stop at my dress she ensured that all went well. Nneka flew into Houston to dress me. When she arrived she took control. I loved it. She didn’t come to play she came to help. I’ll forever appreciate that. To sum her up she’s an extraordinary visionary. Her creative abilities are orchestrated by GOD. She’s an executor. She meets deadlines and does exactly what she says she will do. And she’s kind, easy to talk to and easily accessible. I’m grateful for my season with @BridesbyNona and I pray that Nneka and I will remain life long friends.

t know how she did it just 2 weeks after giving birth, but All I can is thank you.

their work I decided to give it a shot. I sent an e-mail (still skeptical) and they responded to my e-mail that same day which impressed me! Their e-mail was extremely thorough (which any bride who has used them before can attest to) so I felt a little more comfortable with them. The owner Neka was very professional and accessible whenever I needed her and she is a brilliant designer. She worked with em to understand exactly I was wanted and she brought my vision to life. My dress was perfect in every sense of the word! I cannot brag enough about this company but just give them a try and you will not be disappointed. Everyone at my wedding couldn't stop talking about my dress and they still talk about it! Very, very satisfied bride here!

knew I was in good hands. I came all the way from Brooklyn, NY to work with her in Atlanta. We had three face to face interactions and talked via phone or text as needed. She was patient and made sure to listen to all my request. I wanted a gown that looked different, sexy, couture and elegant all at the same time. She provided me with all the above and more!!! She was an absolute gem & very professional. I am truly grateful for her services. Thank you Brides by Nona for creating an everlasting memory❤️!!

incorporating every single element of what you want in the final dress. To say I was blown away would be an understatement. What meant the most to me is when Nneka said she will make any tweak to my dress until I absolutely fall in love with it and she did not disappoint. My wedding dress fit my body so well everyone kept telling me that it looked like the dress was molded on my body. Dropped in Swarovski crystals she made me feel like a celebrity star out of a magazine and Cinderella all at once and I will never forget that feeling on my wedding day. You will be making a huge mistake by not going with BridesByNona for your bespoke custom wedding gown. I recommend BridesByNona a million times over.!!

, and after the initial consultation, I just knew that it be a perfect match! I am so glad I did. I was a VERY particular bride and wanted some specific details. But Nneka absolutely delivered. My dress was beyond amazing, so special, more than I could have imagined! The fit! Oh the fit! Wow, it couldn't have been more perfect. So happy with it!

engaged). From the very beginning I should have saw the signs. No emails returned, no calls returned, my mom/myself/and moh literally had to chase the down. I ended up not using them for my bridesmaid dresses (was so sad) because by the time they got back to us it was too late. Used them for my 2nd reception outfit--they weren't ready when I came to ATL for my fitting. She shipped to my house and never followed up on fit, I had to get/pay someone else to alter it since they weren't ready when I was in ATL. I ended up literally throwing the outfit in the trash the night of the wedding it was terrible ($1000+ literally in the trash). I'm pretty sure my outfit was made in 1 week (I could tell) even thought I reached out 10 months in advance. Designs are great, but business is ran poorly. I met several other brides with the same story (so sad). Don't be fooled by 100K Instagram followers--doesn't mean the professionalism is 100%.

isiting multiple well known bridal shops in New York City and not finding what I wanted, I decided to contact Nneka for a custom made gown. I was extremely pleased with the final product and would do it all over again. Nneka was very organized and detail oriented and brought my vision to life. She created my wedding dress as well as my second dress. Both dresses were breathtaking and it was quite obvious that Nneka had spent quite a bit of time with the beading as it was a very intricate design. Not to mention that this was all done within an eight week period during the height of wedding season. No other wedding shop would accommodate me without charging a ridiculously high price. Nneka’s fees were also very reasonable and she is more than willing to work with any budget. My wedding day was perfect and I thank Nneka for all her hard work. I absolutely LOVE my dresses and I would definitely use BridesbyNona in the future!

for my dream dress began and Kaka was there to walk me through it regardless of her busy schedule. She collaborated with me to create a wedding dress that was only envisioned or imagined, and she brought it to life. I craved for a classic, graceful, timeless elegance gown and she gave it to me. I had the most beautiful dress ever and it was worth every dime!!!! The dress came out super beautiful than sketched. I felt unquestionably Beautiful, I looked like a million bucks! I was floating on air!!!! I have an appreciation for her meticulous understanding of my desires, and my body type. I love her method of easing my anxiety and allowing me breath during the creative process by offering a diverse selection of styles thereby showing her uniqueness to each client is distinctive and impeccable. I feel proud to recommend her to any Bride that wants that unique image for her wedding. Custom is really the way to go and Brides by NoNA is the label to wear! THANK YOU immensely for making my dream gown AND I LOVE YOU KAKA.

ress of my dreams! I absolutely loved my dress and my guests and husband did as well!! Thanks a million😘😘😘

ears ago. The quality of all the dresses came out great and so I said she MUST make mine when the time comes. I DO NOT REGRET my decision at all. All our gowns were BEAUTIFUL and perfectly made. Nneka was so professional and very accomodating of all our demands (and they were many!). She has a brilliant design mind for sure and I personally think she is the best in the custom wedding gown industry so far. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Brides by NoNA. Just give her a call and speak with her for 5 seconds and you will see what I mean. THE BEST!

ement. Her professionalism and passion for her work blossomed in the consultation call. It only took 5 minutes of the call for me to realize "yeah, this woman is IT". Throughout the process, Nneka made me feel more than a client, but a friend. As soon as I saw the sneak peek of my dress, I, literally, squealed at work. Her attention to detail is IMPECCABLE!!! I am honored to be a bride to wear a Brides by Nona original. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

ive to all of my emails and phone calls. I loved the dress she made for me and my bridesmaids. She was present on my wedding day with her team to ensure everything went smoothly and they did such an awesome job! I do not believe she could even have a negative review because her service is indeed awesome and immaculate! Thank you Brides by Nona and your team!!!!!

created for my wedding reception. I was one of many clients but she made me feel like the only client. So so happy that I chose Bridesbynona for my special day. No regrets at all

ith joy! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Brides by Nona if you are looking for a custom gown with the custom experience! From beginning to end, the experience was absolutely pleasurable. If I were to get married again, I will use Brides by Nona without a doubt! I am one very, very, very satisfied bride!

when all the dresses I tried on at SEVERAL bridal stores just did not look right on me. I was so disappointed that I put my wedding planning on hold. I didn't want to see or hear anything wedding related. My friend then suggested that I get my dress custom made and I thought that was a horrible idea. Custom made sounded so much like "home made" and one thing I feared worse than an ill-fitted dress was a dress that looked like it was made by an amateur! She referred me to Brides by Nona and after viewing much of her work online I decided to give her a call just to talk to her. In my mind I was sure I was NOT going to have a custom dress made. I spoke to Nneka the owner and she explained her entire process, provided sketches of my gown and had me come in for a professional consultation where she took VERY detailed measurements of my body for the making of the gown. I was super impressed. Fast forward to February 2017 when I got the call that my dress was ready for a fitting, you can only imagine the chills that went through my body. At my fitting is burst into tears literally. My dress was exactly as sketched. The quality is perfect and the detail was beyond my imagination. I was blown away!!!! She only took two weeks from my first fitting to get the dress looking perfect on me and then I was ready to walk down the aisle in March. All my guests were in awe of my gown. Several of my friends have said they will use Brides by Nona for their gowns too. I had to take the time to write this up because Nneka deserves this and MORE!! My only advise to future brides considering using Brides by Nona is to start early. Nneka is very busy so it is hard to get a hold of her but once you get her you will NOT be disappointed! In my opinion, she is the best and she knows her stuff! Try her!

de for me. Not only did i dazzle on my wedding day, i felt regal as well and it was all thanks to Nneka. You would definitely be pleased in anything she designs for you.

ure that she had my best interest at heart. I had absolutely no alterations needed for my reception dress which was a complete blessing and she made me feel like a queen! I would highly recommend her if you want a one of a beautiful gown for your big day.

ely nervous about that but it all worked out seamlessly. The bridesmaids needed minor alterations to their dresses but nothing out of the ordinary that they didn't expect. I am completely happy with this vendor and will recommend her to everyone!

counting the days (more like STALKING the days) till I show off my gown!!! It is the most beautiful gown I have seen and trust me I have seen a LOT of gowns. Thank you so much Nneka for everything!!!! I know I was difficult to handle but you were VERY patient with me and it was worth the wait for me. Thank you thank you thank youuu!!!!!

everal boutiques but they all had THE SAME bridesmaids dress which were very boring and really limited! I knew I had to have my bridesmaids in custom gowns and a friend recommended Brides by Nona (best decision EVER!!!). I met with Nneka and she understood exactly what I wanted and sketched out my vision. My wedding was last month and ALL my guests kept raving about the bridesmaids dresses. They were unique, perfectly fitted and the quality was exceptional! One advise I would give to brides about this designer is to be sure to start the process early (at least 3 months in advance) because Nneka does get very busy. Other than that, I was extremely pleased with the dresses and the quality of service I received. The best in the custom game by far!

too! Her dresses are one of a kind and stunning!! If you are looking for a dress that is like no other and that will be executed exceptionally, you should look no further than Brides by Nona!!
