Camilla's

erations and everything was also a dream. They also delivered the dress to my apartment after I needed to get some minor things fixed a few days before the wedding!

stock. They were so nice and really tried to help me find the dress I wanted.

s was great!

find your dress and make you feel so comfortable doing it.

got the perfect dress! And just as importantly, the seamstress they use is phenomenal! She made that dress fit me like a glove, and we had as many fittings as it took for me to feel 100% beautiful in the dress. I couldn't imagine getting my dress anywhere else!!

ut then as you are trying things on they bring you other dresses they think will be good. This is a great method and allows you to shop but also they give you the guidance you need to find something that will look great on you. I tried on the dress I ultimately picked here. Then I went to a few more stores that day. I wanted to come back and try on two of my favorites and they were so accommodating - letting me come in after work without a formal appointment. I also got my dress altered here. The dress fit perfectly after alterations! My dress was very form fitting so it was important it fit well. I was so happy with the way I looked on the wedding day.

. She would offer her input only after my guests and I gave ours, and she would base it simply on how she thought I felt in each dress. She'd clearly been doing this for a while and knew exactly what she was talking about. I was so indecisive and so I gave her very little direction to work with and she still managed to pull the dress I ended up choosing! After ordering the dress I opted to do alterations at Camilla's as well through their seamstress. Though there was a bit of back and forth between her saying that certain alterations were possible or impossible and then going back on her word, and though I had to go to a couple extra fittings, the seamstress was calm and kind and ultimately my dress fit beautifully on the day of my wedding. Thank you so much, Camilla's!

as I liked without pressure of being rushed... and we were allowed to take pictures! Maria was a wonderful salesperson. She made wonderful suggestions and had such an excited reaction when I tried on my dream dress and loved it, that I couldn't help but love it even more! The clean, welcoming, and warm feeling of the small shop was the icing on the cake. I'd recommend Camilla's to any of my friends for a wonderful and personalized wedding dress shopping experience. Thanks!

d the PERFECT dress.

redibly helpful, and beyond sweet. Maria was an absolute dream to work with & made me feel so special. She let me pick out as many dresses as I wanted & she also had some amazing choices/ideas of her own. She is a true professional. I tried on a bunch of dresses but both Maria and my sister wanted me to try on one different style. They both picked out a dress for me & it happened to be the same dress! I had also pinned this dress on Pinterest a while back. Of course, it ended up being the one!! I got so excited to come try on my dress every time & my alterations were perfect. I'm sad my wedding is over because I want to keep going back! I cannot say enough amazing things about this adorable, personal & family run store. You will not be disappointed.

aids of honor and family, and purchased that same gown. The selection of dresses is incredible. They are all beautifully made, and were within a budget we were comfortable with. Nivia and Maria made us feel at home at every visit. Their alterations specialist, Violette, worked diligently to make sure my dress fit perfectly. Camilla's came highly recommended from my best friend, and have already told my friends who are brides to be that it's the best!

re were about 6 people with me and the salon was very accommodating, we never felt rushed or like we were in the way. I am so happy Camillas is where I ended up getting my dress from!

salons and Camilla's was by far the best, even better than my trip to Newbury St. The dresses are very reasonably priced and look so much more rich and expensive then they are. I picked many dresses and the one I chose was actually not even my pick, but the mother's!! I could not be more impressed with the service, selection and overall experience - you cannot go wrong here!!

, but lo and behold it is now going to be my dress! All of the ladies working were very accommodating, and they were eager to help me come in again the next day so my sister, who had to miss the appointment, could see the dress on me. I can't say thank you enough to Camilla's and I look forward to working with them through the alteration process.

ersonal and they were always very responsive. I went in swearing I wouldn't by the style I ended up with. But I LOVED it and my husband was so happy that I had chosen that style of dress. My father was not there when I first found it, but he wanted to be. So the ladies worked with me to set everything up to make it seem as though he was there for "finding" the dress. Pulled the perfect styles to lean him in that direction. The alterations made it fit like a glove. Perfection! Thank you all so much!

day out even if I had to actually buy one another day without them. I hate shopping, and I only a rough idea what I wanted, so I was not expecting success. After I'd tried on about 6 dresses I'd picked out, Nivia picked out something that wasn't at all what I thought I would like, and asked me to try it on just in case.g. It. Was. PERFECT. One hour, seven dresses, dreams made. Later she told me she thought that dress was right for me right when I walked in, but didn't want to lead me away if I wanted something else. The staff at Camilla's were so kind and accommodating throughout the whole process, and I am so lucky I got to work with them!

y at Camilla's that we had many more choices than at any of the other places. Not only that, but it was such a pleasure to work with Maria and her daughter. They know their stuff when it comes to choosing and selecting wedding gowns. And the woman who does their alterations (Alterations by Violette) was also such a joy to work with. The most positive experience finding, buying and altering the gown at Camila's. I miss seeing those women!

I never felt rushed or pressured, and I appreciated that they didn't work under the assumption that I would buy a dress at the end of the appointment. Though I didn't end up getting my dress here, I would recommend them very highly to anyone. Impeccable, thoughtful service with a great sense of humor. Thanks!

tyles, mine was silent the majority of my appointment. She couldn't be found on several occasions to help me in and out of dresses after putting me in the dressing room, even though the store was rather quiet. She was very pleasant and no one was out right rude but I didn't feel I had any help in narrowing down decisions or some expert guidance. They also seemed very disinterested in my purchase and wrote down the style I liked at the end of my appointment and sent me on my way without measurements, etc. in case I decided to purchase the dress. I'd still recommend the store for it's selection but don't expect a very special experience.

ly uncomfortable in my otherwise perfect strapless dress she came up with a perfect solution. The straps she suggested making -using my extra lace- came out amazing (thanks Violet!!!) and looked like they were part of the original dress. Having had such a great experience there finding my dress, I went back to Camilla's for my bridesmaids dresses. Once again Maria and Violet worked with me and my bridesmaids to make the dresses perfect. Both myself and my bridesmaids received many compliments on our dresses. Best of all, we all felt comfortable (and looked beautiful) all night. Thanks Camilla's!!!!

tting it fitted; they even had someone on site who was able to do alterations for me. I highly recommend getting your dress here!

ttended to. I ultimately did not buy my dress here, but regardless would highly recommend other brides-to-be to include Camilla's in their dress shopping hunt!

hared with her. She knew the designers and their lines really well so looking at dresses was easy and fun. Nivia and her mother were also very kind. The dress I ended up selecting was beautiful. Nivia and her mother suggested a bridal belt and veil that tied everything together. I felt beautiful! They were also very responsive to questions and made scheduling appointments easy. Their seamstress, Violet, was also amazing. Although the initial fitting was at the store, Violet let me meet her at her house for my second fitting on a weekend so my sisters could come. I highly recommend Camilla's Bridal to any bride!

selections based on my comments. I also loved that Maria's first comment to me was, "Don't even think about purchasing something today. Try everything on, sleep on it and then give me a call if you'd like to order something." I really appreciated not being pressured to make a decision on the spot. I went to another bridal salon afterwards and was put off my how much pressure they put on me. In the end, I didn't purchase anything from Camilla's because I wound up buying a dress online. But I really loved the experience - of trying on different styles and everything in an actual salon with my mom and maid of honor.

e to help us. We told her my price range and she picked out a bunch of gowns for me to try on. We found one that I really liked but I wasn't completely sold. It was $100 over budget and a little poof-ier than I wanted. She heard my mother mention that she sews and offered to sell us the floor sample for $400 cheaper than ordering one would be. (The sample was clean and pretty much pristine, so we went for it.) She walked my mother step-by-step on how to take in the dress and other great ideas. Through her advice, we ended up taking out 3 petty coats and it looked much better. My mother spent a lot of time getting the dress to fit just right but it came out beautifully.

when the dress I had inquired about unexpectedly arrived in their store. No other bridal salon I visited was nearly so accommodating or thoughtful. I have recommended them to anyone dress shopping!

moment, and was never given any grief about it :) I felt like the shop was smaller than most I looked at, but they had so many beautiful gowns, instead of a mixture of beautiful and so-so. I could easily narrow down my decision. I bought my dress a year out, and lost a substantial amount of weight. The seamstress really impressed me with the fit of the dress when all completed; she had her work cut out for her. She was very reasonable too! My MOH is getting married and we are going dress shopping at Camilla's in a few weeks :) These women are the best and truly love what they do.

ou would want to buy a wedding dress, as opposed to some of the other places which look like warehouses with a waiting room. At Camilla's, they let you pick out your own dresses from the racks and you can take pictures (both things prohibited at some other stores). I picked out a few styles when I went in the first time, and then they grabbed some other ones to suggest. I ended up buying my dress there, and went back for 3 fittings because I had a halter strap added, the dress was hemmed, and also we took out some stitches from the fabric to make the dress hang better. The staff there have a good eye for what will look good or not. I was generally happy with the experience there.

the phone she was able to find me the perfect dress. The customer service and dedication to her customers is wonderful!

here, I bothered them so many times to come in and try it on again and they were super accommodating. Maria also made my veil which was from my mother's wedding dress and I was blown away by her work, it was beautiful! I honestly cannot say one single negative about this place or the staff. You guys are the best!

ly with Maria (I think her name was Maria, she is the shop owner's mother) and she was so wonderful. She was always so enthusiastic and positive and gave excellent feedback and advice regarding potential alterations. My dress from Essence of Australia came out beautifully! I would recommend future brides to Camilla's. The seamstress that Camilla's recommended (Violet) was also a great experience and I would recommend her to other brides as well.

es!!!!

ng to help get me into my dress. My dress was stunning and my day was perfect! LOVE Camilla's!

r! I arrived with my mom, maid of honor, and future mother in law and we received a friendly greeting immediately. They were so helpful in helping me find my perfect gown. It is exactly what I was looking for. I did not feel rushed one bit and everyone there was so kind and respectful. I even went back a month or two later with several pairs of shoes I had purchased online and they took the time to help me pick the perfect pair. If you are looking for an intimate, personal experience when searching for your wedding gown I absolutely recommend Camilla's!

e. The selection of gowns is beautiful and current.

found me a dress well beneath it. I will never get married again so I cannot say I will be a repeat customer but I will recommend them to EVERY friend that gets engaged. :)

tyles and they all were such high quality and looked fabulous. Maria can pick out the perfect accessories that match the style of the dress and bride with her eyes closed. My dress was reasonably priced and gorgeous! The last time I went there was for a fitting and I was so sad to leave, I hugged everyone and cried a little because I was so happy. I would recommend Camilla's to every bride. Honestly, I went to 3 shops in total, and Camilla's was my last stop, while it was good to have a comparison there is no comparison. If you want to find the perfect dress, accessories and enjoy the experience doing it, this is the only place to go.

s the shop with her mother, and they make you feel like part of the family. The collection of bridal gowns is well-chosen, and both ladies have an eye for what looks good on you. I found the dress that I ultimately purchased here, but but still wanted to shop around. I think I came back three times before I finally bought it, but I never felt any pressure - they respect the process of choosing your wedding dress. Camilla's was wonderful every step of the way, and I always felt I was in good hands with them. They're just a lovely (and fun!) place to shop for a wedding dress.

t store of course didn't have it (even though they said they did). My maid of honor called around to find a place that did. Camilla's was one of those places, they said that they didn't have it but then called back immediately saying that they found it. It is now 4pm on a Saturday and the place closes at 5pm and we were no where close, we drove like crazy to get there (even without an appointment they took us). When we walked in they already had the dress in the changing room I jumped in it walked out everyone said it looked great and I bought it. They must have thought we were crazy but they were willing to keep the store open so that we could get there and try it on. Because of them the dress buying experience was done in one day and not as stressful as I thought it was going to be.

eat! It's run by Nivia and her mom and they are the sweetest. They really helped my figure out what kind of gown I was looking for, and were honest (in a gentile way) when something didn't look good. So happy I to have purchased my gown through them!

e to choose from we're the best i had seen compared to other boutiques, and were surprisingly at very reasonable price points! Definitely would go back again if I am helping a friend find her dream dress!

sses to try on but made suggestions of dresses that they thought would also look fabulous. If you want the perfect dress for your perfect day, I would highly recommend this shop.

ne and see in magazines!!) - you can ask for all of the help you need and the staff is there to be involved as much you want them to be. I purchased my dress from Camilla's and loved the whole experience. I felt like a part of the family and two years later people are still talking about my dress and gorgeous bird cage. I have sent both family and friends to the store for their weddings and all have rave reviews. If you want to have a selection of gorgeous dresses that are on trend and to work with an attentive and knowledgeable staff- come to Camilla's! The shop should be best of Boston for the quality and level of service! Nivia- thank you for taking the stress out of wedding dress shopping! I love coming back with friends and family! Nothing beats Camilla's!!

l provided great service and patience.

it they were just as nice as always and very accommodating. My dress came in on time and they were amazing every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better experience (and trust me, I went to some other bridal shops where the experience was sub par!).

d I plan on going back to pick out Bridesmaids dresses!!

to find my gown there as well when it came time for my wedding. They have a great selection of wedding gowns as well as bridesmaid's dresses. All the gowns they carry are great styles and they have a wide range of price points. Their are associated with a tailor, Gabriella's in Somerville who did an amazing job on my gown. I highly recommend this bridal shop!

ng there were so great helping with everything! I got my dress at the last possible weekend before ordering it, and they were so helpful in making sure my dress order got in, and my dress was coming in on time. We also got the bridesmaid dresses there, and Camilla's was fantastic in how they organized taking orders from all my bridesmaids (all three live in different states). I would recommend this cute little shop to everyone!

Camilla's was understanding, squeezed me in for another appointment, helped me back into my dress and reminded me how perfect it was for me. After a more beautiful wedding day, dress included, than I could ever have imagined, I definitely didn't regret my choice and you will not regret choosing Camilla's to purchase a wedding dress!

couldn't fit it. I ended spending more than half of the dress's cost in alteration which I was not happy about. I wish it had been ordered a bit bigger. The service great except for this glitch.. the selection was wide and well priced... I would recommend them

2000-3000 off the original price. They have tons of beautiful, high quality designer gowns!! The price was great and the gown was absolutely beautiful. You get the small shop feel, with one to one service. The complete opposite of the tacky, big store feel you get at David's Bridal

signers that sponsors them.

because I had the hardest time picking! Great selection in shapes, sizes, and materials. The one I ended up getting was pricey but I'd never seen it anywhere else including magazines.

r the dress. Another location I had gone to carried the same dress but was terrible in their service so I went back to Camilla's to purchase the dress. I very strongly recommend Camilla's as they have a wide variety of dresses with a modest price range.

mall shop with 3 dressing rooms, so setting up a time to come in is key! I got nervous right before my wedding and asked if I could pick the dress up a day early and they said it was not a problem! They always made me feel as if I was their only bride, even with other people in the shop! Their onsite seamstress does an amazing job and is not as expensive as other shops. One of my bridesmaids even brought her bridesmaid dress there to get altered, and she bought it somewhere else! I wish I could go back to buy more dresses from them... hopefully someday as a Matron of Honor instead!

atmosphere this store has to offer. Thank you Camilla’s!

I found a dress where I loved the front by hated the back. Despite being only 4 months prior to my trip down the aisle, Camillas said they could totally change the back and make it exactly the style I wanted. It took only 2 fittings and the final product was perfect. Better than that - it felt like it had been made (or at least altered :)) just for me. I love this place and cannot wait to return when my next sister gets married.

I found exactly what I wanted, even though I wasn't quite sure what that was before walking in there. The staff is wonderful and very accommodating. My only criticism would be in the alterations. I was lucky in that I did not require much in the way of alterations (however, the charge was still the same, which seemed a bit unfair). Not requiring much in the way of alteration and paying the same as if there had been more should have ensured a perfectly altered dress. This was not the case. A piece of the piping in the upper part of the dress was coming out early into the night. I absolutely loved my dress, though, and, overall it was a great experience working with them.

nd, but I found a few good contenders at this place. When I first went I couldn't make a decision, but I couldn't get one of the dresses I tried on out of my mind. I came back a few weeks later and bought the dress. Expect to spend at least $1000 there, but they're worth every penny. I used the alterations person they had at the store. She was good too. She did quick work. I would highly recommend this place. It's like a small town shop with all the elegance of a boutique. Go there! Tell them I miss them :)

always went on a weekday evening (with an appointment) to avoid any crowds. Everyone at the shop was always so helpful. Alterations were quickly completed. Everytime we drive by, my husband wants to go in to personally thank Camilla's for giving me such an amazing dress!

er to look around for dresses. One afternoon I went out with one of my bridesmaids to check out this boutique to see what they had to offer. Since I hadn't had much luck prior to this, I figured I would be in and out of a few dresses then out the door on my merry way... or so I thought... After a few misfires, I put on this gown, this simple, ivory charmeuse gown. I looked at myself and looked at my bridesmaid. She asked me if it was "the one" and all I could do was giggle and say, "I think so!" The owner was there helping us, and informed us that there was a tax holiday the following weekend, and if I decided I wanted the dress, I could give her my credit card information and she would hold it until the tax holiday began! I was very appreciative since it ended up saving me nearly $100. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it to other brides. Just don't go in expecting the royal treatment with a personal consultant and champagne. It was my bridesmaid putting me in dresses, with a hand from the associates when needed, and the only drink we had was the beer we drank when we got home.

resses, the owner pulled a dress-- the last one I was going to try on before moving on. And then I had the moment. The one where you look in the mirror and see everything you wanted to see--needless to say I started balling like a baby. I never would have found THE dress (or the veil for that matter) without her.

and their dresses were very reasonably priced.

bulous dresses there as well. We returned probably a dozen times for various alterations etc, and the small staff started to feel like family. We joked that the wedding would be weird without them. I promised to go back to show them pictures.

s and mother of the bride dress. Had some difficulty with getting the correct dress for the mother of the bride. There was an issue with some seanstress work. Hopefully this was a fluke.

p is clean, bright, and Nivia (owner) is attentive, sweet, and friendly. Although I had tried on a countless number of dress in other stores, the first dress that I tried on at Camilla's was the one. I credit this success to Nivia, because she truly listened to what I wanted and didn't try to sell me a dress outside of my budget. Nivia personally selects all the gowns in the shop, and they are all beautiful and unique (no dirty, ripped, or out of style dresses here!). I visited the shop many more times for alterations and with my bridesmaids to look for their dresses, and each time I went I had the same personal, friendly experience. Of note, I think every time I went back, I witnessed another bride find her dress! I definitely recommend this shop as the first (and likely last) stop for any bride!
