Clarissa Boutique

I had a great experience at Clarissa's and went back several times! I initially went to purchase a veil after a suggestion from a friend - they had dozens of beautiful options that could be customized to your desired length and shade to match your dress. I went back a second time for jewelry and a few hair pieces - the ladies that work at the shop are so helpful! I went back a third time with my mother to pick out jewelry and a hair piece for her as a gift - they were so sweet and were able to convert a bobby pin style to a comb and my mom was thrilled with it and her earrings. They also have lots of cute gifts as well!

I had the best experience at Clarissa Boutique! I was searching for a wedding hair piece and and after looking into all of the options, they were actually able to customize one that fit my exact vision. My wedding hair piece was absolutely beautiful in person and in pictures!

I purchased my head piece and cathedral raw edge veil from Clarissa. They encouraged bringing my dress with me and I am so glad as I got to see the true look of accessories. It was a fun experience and I highly recommend.

The ladies at Clarissa Boutique were incredibly kind, patient and lovely to work with leading up to my wedding. Gretchen was wonderful in helping both me and my mom select the perfect hair accessories and jewelry but that was just the beginning. She also worked magic transforming my mom's wedding dress from 1980 into a modern, knee-length dress for my bridal shower -- and incorporated pieces of both my mom and grandma's dresses into custom keepsakes. Additionally, Earldine created a beautiful custom veil to perfectly compliment my dress, which I absolutely loved. We visited often for our fittings and always enjoyed working with these ladies and browsing their beautiful store. Highly recommend!

I got hair pieces, earrings, and my veil from Clarissa’s. The woman that helped me when I went was so kind and helpful. I did a custom veil and it was finished in a very timely manner. I had a great shopping experience with them and they have so many cute accessories for wedding day and bachelorette parties!

If you need alterations or accessories Clarissa Boutique is the place to go! I purchased a made to order dress (from another company) and when it arrived I tried it on at Clarissa for the first time. The dress was not made to my measurements and did not fit well. Gretchen was my Fairy Godmother! She took in the dress to fit me perfectly as well as making customized train alterations. Earldine helped me select a beautiful hairpiece and the perfectly coordinated veil. What a difference- the first time I tried on the dress I felt awful and ready to find a new dress; at my last fitting I felt like a beautiful bride ready to walk down the aisle! The website and appointment process is easy and quick responses via text. Top notch customer service!

Clarissa Boutique created a comb, pearl hair pins, and a bouquet wrap out of my moms wedding dress. They came out absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to wear them on my wedding day!

My friend/bridesmaid and I had a lovely afternoon at Clarissa Boutique yesterday. What started as a veil shopping trip - ended up with purchasing coordinating accessories for all of the bridesmaids. She helped me clarify my overall vision for my and my people (especially since I'm being pretty laissez faire with it comes to dresses and shoes for them) and there was zero sales pressure. Everything naturally fell into place! If you're looking for someone to help clarify your vision and tie it all together in a tasteful way, Clarissa Boutique is the place for you!

These women are amazing! They first made masks for each member of our bridal party and our parents for our COVID wedding in 2020 - the one for me was ivory with lace applique! Then for the rescheduled big day in 2021, they have the most gorgeous earrings and hair accessories - I had a beautiful flowering piece that was brushed silver and had some pearl accents on a clip and my mother found rose gold hairpins that perfectly matched and accented her dress! I was able to also create a custom veil - I chose the edging and the length of the veil and the blusher, based off of my train length and dress style. My dress was intricate lace with a longer train, so I wanted something with a blusher that had an edge that was simple and longer than my train - my cathedral ivory veil was created and is something I will cherish and hope to pass down! It looked amazing in photos! I planned my wedding out of state and they were more than happy to also steam my dress and veil the week of, then to help me wrap it for transportation to the hotel the day before! The women are so sweet and more than willing to work with you! Remember - everything that is there is constantly changing so if you love a pair of earrings, buy them! They also have cute bachelorette pieces - I had a perfect headband for mine! - and other trinkets for gifts too!

I highly recommend Clarissa Boutique to any bride! I came on a weekday afternoon and had an lovely experience. The personalized attention from Penny was absolutely fabulous! She was patient and provided very sound, honest, but tasteful advice about all of my wedding accessories and overall look. I purchased earrings, a bracelet, headpiece, and a veil, and they all coordinated well and were great quality. They were able to tailor the veil to fit my height and make a few adjustments. It was an overall wonderful experience!

I went to Clarissa boutique to purchase earrings and a bracelet for my wedding day accessories and they were so helpful. I was able to show them pictures of my dress and explain my vision and they were able to guide me to pieces that were the perfect addition. I highly recommend working with them for your wedding day needs they are so kind, knowledgeable, and their products are a beautiful way to accessorize your dress!

Clarissa Boutique is absolutely amazing! As soon as you walk in the door, you are greeted by the owners. They are extremely kind and very attentive! They found the perfect earrings for my mothers dress, helped me with my garter and purse, and helped me pick a few pieces of jewelry for my flower girls. They even offered to custom make a garter and they are custom making my flower girls bracelets to fit properly. I recommend everyone go and check this beautiful, elegant boutique out! They have so much to offer and will help you find anything you need for your special day!

When I decided to use my mother’s halo headpiece I started looking for someone who could bring it back to life. Clarissa’s boutique was exactly what I was looking for and they have been so helpful with all of my bridal accessories. First of all, the restoration they did on my headpiece was amazing, it looked exactly like the day my mom wore it for my parents’ wedding. I also purchased my veil from Clarissa’s. They found a veil that matched my dress perfectly and had every detail that I wanted. I received so many compliments on it during my wedding! Finally, they helped me and my mother pick out our earrings which were also absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend them enough for all of your wedding accessory and restoration needs!

Every Pittsburgh bride should check this store out! The sisters that were working that day were so helpful and guided me through what I needed. When I walked into the store I wasn’t completely sure what I wanted, but when I showed pictures of my dress Penny was able to guide me through the different accessories and what not. Would recommend to anyone! Staff was very COVID safe and considerate. Made me feel very comfortable.

Beautiful selection of accessories at this boutique! The staff accommodated 2 last minute appointments for me given the many changes to our plans. They helped me try a few different looks to figure out the beat pieces. I purchased a hair piece and absolutely loved it on my wedding day!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience when searching for the most perfect wedding accessories! They are so kind and in tune with how to help you find the perfect match, even in the middle of a pandemic! They have a huge variety of products, you won’t be disappointed!

My mom and I had a great experience getting my custom veil made at Clarissa Boutique! It is such a beautiful shop. They were so helpful and creative in helping me decide how I wanted my veil. I also picked up a cute shirt to wear for my bachelorette party! I highly recommend their store!

We worked with Clarissa Boutique for my wedding day accessories and veil and they were absolutely amazing!! Everyone was so nice there and I would recommend them alone just for their excellent customer service. I found all my wedding day jewelry here (headpiece, earrings, and bracelets) and they also made me my veil! They have an endless selection of veils, headpieces, and jewelry to choose from. On my wedding day, I received so many compliments on my beautiful headpiece from here. You should 100% go to Clarissa Boutique to find any of your wedding day accessories!!

I would recommend Clarissa Boutique to any bride-to-be. I was searching everywhere for my dream veil and headpiece and no boutique that I went to had what I was looking for. I saw a recommendation for Clarissa's on Facebook and decided to go check it out. I made an appointment for a stylist consultation because I wanted some help finding my dream accessories. I had Penny for my consultation and she helped me create my dream look for my wedding day. She was able to find me the perfect headpiece and some jewelry that matched it perfectly! I was having a hard time finding a veil that I loved, so she asked if I wanted to design my own. I was skeptical at first because I thought that it would be outrageously expensive, but Penny reassured me that we could make something within my budget. I explained and drew out what my dream veil would like and then I got to pick out the crystals and the exact shade of tulle that I wanted. After a couple of weeks, I got a call that my items were ready to pick up. When I arrived, I got to try everything on and finally see my custom veil in real life. To say that my expectations were surpassed would be an understatement. I was honestly blown away. My veil was made exactly the way that I had been picturing it in my mind since I was a little girl. I couldn't believe that my vision came to life! I could not be happier with my accessories from Clarissa Boutique and I am SO glad that I went there. Their prices beat any other boutique out there and their customer service is the best around. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic staff and service! Clarissa Boutique will make you feel like you are part of their family instantly. The attention to detail is unmatched. I had a pretty simple wedding dress, but between their beautiful selection of jewelry and their custom made veil my simple dress was escalated to look absolutely stunning. Speaking of dress, they offer fantastic tailoring! I had to get my dress altered, taken in, cut shorter, cups added, you name it, and in the end it fit like a glove. They can steam your dress and know exactly how to hang it back up so new wrinkles don’t set in while you wait to put it on :) . I’d highly recommend this place for any bridal need.

I absolutely LOVED my experience at Clarissa Boutique!! My sister, Chelsea, got married last April and we purchased the most beautiful jewelry and headpieces from Clarissa--I can't tell you how many compliments I received! All of the ladies in the boutique are so helpful and wonderful--they really made the experience even better! I highly recommend Clarissa Boutique !

I worked with Clarissa Boutique to have both my wedding dress and a jumpsuit for my rehearsal altered. They provided excellent service and I was SO happy with the results!! Not only did they do great alterations but they were so kind throughout the entire process. I lived outside of Pittsburgh and they made sure to fit my appointments in around my travel schedule. I ended up purchasing earrings from them - they have tons of beautiful accessories! Would highly recommend!!

Something that I very much had wanted as a part of my wedding day, was a piece of my mom's dress incorporated somewhere on my big day, and I knew the place to go to was Clarissa's. Their experience with lace, especially, is unlike any other, and I definitely trusted them with anything they wanted to do. We incorporated lace from my mother's dress into my headpiece, and also had it on my unity candle (with my mother-in-law's lace, as well). It was one of my favorite things that I wore that day, and it is BEAUTIFUL! I also purchased earrings and a bracelet from them as well- it is a quaint bridal salon led by a group of women who absolutely love what they do! We loved working with all of them, and definitely recommend them to the sentimental bride looking to have pieces of her family with her on their big day.

Clarissa's Boutique in the southside is without a doubt, the place to find all your wedding accessories. Earldine and her staff were extremely accommodating to my daughter and I. They even had toys and lollipops for my grandchildren. We had a vision for a certain belt to go with out bridesmaids dresses and they were able to find them, adjust it according to size and wanted nothing more than to please. Out hairpins were custom made and they were absolutely stunning. Earldine reviewed many of her catalogues to determine the right earrings to go with the hairpins. It was first class service as if you were the only one in the world that was important. They do not disappoint.

The ladies at Clarissa Boutique are amazing! They custom make a lot of the jewelry and veils! They have a small selection of sample dresses (mine happened to be from a runway show!) and it was absolutely gorgeous. In addition to the beautiful products, everyone is a pleasure to work with. They kept my dress at the boutique since there are smokers/pets in my family and had no problem with me getting it altered elsewhere. They also allowed me to bring my dress back to store for the final month before the wedding for storage and steaming, which I think was complimentary because I bought the dress there!

I got a custom veil, custom necklace, and hair piece here. They were great to work with creating the veil and necklace. I got many compliments. Thank you!

I am so glad that I went to Clarissa’s for my accessories and my alterations! Their customizable options for jewelry, headpieces, and veils are awesome! The ladies were so helpful in selecting pieces for myself and my mom. Gretchen did all of my alterations, and my dress was absolutely perfect. It was several sizes too big (I purchased a sample), but you would never know it after my alterations were done. It fit like a glove. Gretchen was also able to add buttons all the way down the back of my dress, which was my dream! Overall the alterations were incredibly reasonably priced and much less expensive than I thought they were going to be, especially given the high quality work. I would absolutely recommend Clarissa’s!

Clarissa Boutique is so talented--I am long overdue in writing this review! I brought my Mother's very long veil in to re-purpose for my wedding. It was made of very delicate lace that Penny and the talented team cleaned, re-starched, and remade into the most beautiful , elegant veil that I loved so much I wore almost the entire day! It exceeded my expectations, and meant so much to carry a piece of family history with me. They also had the sweetest idea to make a few hairpieces out of the floral lace, and to incorporate it organically into my dress. I have a fairly simple style, but it really helped to make my dress so personal and special. I didn't need to go anywhere else, as they did my alterations and were extremely thoughtful about every adjustment. I also found an amazing pair of earrings there for the wedding that I am in love with to this day! If you are looking for those sentimental, special touches that really complete your look please check them out. Every person I worked with was so kind and attentive to detail, I have complete trust that whatever you need they will do an unbelievable job bringing your vision to life!

Clarissa Boutique has an amazing selection of wedding accessories and classic, elegant veils for reasonable prices. The ladies of Clarissa Boutique were wonderful to work with. I received a thank you note that included a discount offer after only visiting to view their selection. This was particularly touching and astonishing to me after hearing that the boutique that I purchased my dress and all of the bridesmaid dresses at wouldn't offer me any discount for any accessories. I would unconditionally recommend Clarissa Boutique for any bride.

I went to Clarissa’s Bridal Salon for a number of items for my wedding including a stunning headpiece and a fascinator for my high tea themed bridal shower. The pieces at the salon are beautiful and affordable. They also do wonderful custom work. If you need to buy some accessories to complete your wedding look, go to Clarissa’s. I had a great experience every time I was there.

Everyone at Clarissa's is so welcoming and helpful! They were able to fix a hole in my mom's veil and press it to make it look brand new! I wanted to wear my mom's veil so much and I am so so thankful I found Clarissa's. They have such a great selection of hair combs/pins and they took they time to find the perfect one with me. Thank you thank you!

The best!!!! I highly recommend Clarissa boutique. I got my dress altered, veil, jewelry, and bridesmaids jewelry here and could not have been happier. They are so helpful with picking out pieces and creating the perfect look. Every appointment was a wonderful experience. Their selection is unmatched and do custom work! Every bride needs to go to Clarissa boutique. Thank you all for your help to make my day so special!!

I purchased my jewelry and custom made hair piece here. I received tons of compliments on both! Such a cute boutique. I highly recommend them to any Pittsburgh, or non Pittsburgh, bride! :)

I had the most wonderful experience at Clarissa's Boutique! They really know their stuff there and truly helped to make my veil and head piece decision so easy and just perfect!

Clarissa Boutique was wonderful. I LOVED going there and was always well taken care of. Gretchen was great to work with and always accommodating to my needs. I ordered my earrings, bridesmaid earrings, hair comb, garter from the boutique and got my dress altered there as well. All of the jewelry was beautiful and my dress looked perfect on our wedding day!

Clarissa Boutique is wonderful! The ladies there make it an enjoyable and stress free experience. Our first visit was to add detail to my daughter’s wedding dress. They spent hours trying to design the perfect bow to compliment her dress. The alterations were done with perfection. Their opinions on veils led to a perfect decision. It is beautiful and looks elegant with the gown. Of all our bridal experiences, we feel Clarissa’s was one of our favorites. Gretchen and Penny are so professional, talented and delightful ladies. We highly recommend Clarissa Boutique.

My custom made blusher was perfect and super easy to get done. Very knowledgable staff that helped me find the perfect tiara/earring combination for my big day too! Love everything in their store!

I absolutely loved this place. Not only did I buy my wedding dress there but they were able to restore my mother's wedding veil that was over 35 years old and not preserved. I loved working with the ladies there who were very kind and answered all of my questions. With one on one attention I felt very comfortable here. Highly recommend everyone to visit!

Shopping at Clarissa Boutique was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning! They had so many beautiful options to select from and the ladies in the store were so friendly and helpful. I ended up falling in love with a headband that they were able to convert into a gorgeous comb headpiece - it was truly stunning. I also bought a pair of earrings that were very glamorous yet so comfortable and lightweight! If you're looking for unique, elegant bridal jewelry and accessories, absolutely check them out!

Clarissa Boutique is the BEST! I would highly recommend the experienced staff, atmosphere, selection, and overall positive experience to all brides! They helped me put my wedding looks and vision into reality and I cannot thank them enough! I purchased my veil, headpiece, earrings, and bracelet, as well as my bridesmaids earrings and hair pieces! I also purchased various special gifts for my bridesmaids and family members, that I could not pass up; their selection is fantastic! Hands down the best vendor I was able to work with during my wedding!

I went to Clarissa's looking for a veil only and I ended up falling in LOVE with the first veil they showed me there. I do not remember the name of who my mom and I worked with, but we showed her photos of my dress and she just made all the right recommendations after that. The veil I purchased was brand new and had never even been tried on before. She also ended up showing me hair accessories that complimented the veil perfectly and I did end up purchasing those as well. So for my budget and time it was well worth the trip, they also gave my a coupon for the next time I come back which I may use for a friend's wedding. Well worth the stop in a shop I have walked past so many times.

I purchased my gorgeous earrings from Clarissa’s. They had a great selection of earrings and other accessories. The staff was so helpful, even finding a gown similarly cut as mine to pin to me as I tried on the different earrings. Definitely recommend for bridal jewelry needs!

I have so many good things to say about my experience with the staff at Clarissa Boutique! Through all aspects of wedding accessories (belts, jewelry, and alterations), the ladies at Clarissa's exceeded all of my expectations. My first purchase at the store was a custom belt for my MOH, who wore a black of the rack dress. They worked with me (and the dress) to figure out what would match my bridal gown, as well as the correct placement since my MOH lived out of town. Needless to say she looked extraordinary! The team sewed the belt into place, added custom beading, and even steamed the dress so that when I picked it up everything was ready to go. They truly go the extra mile for every bride! After this experience I knew that I needed to go back to Clarissa's for my bridal jewelry. I found the most beautiful headpiece for a high bun, as well as earrings for myself and the mother of the bride. With a 15% off coupon, everything was more than reasonably priced, matched my dress and style perfectly, and came in ahead of schedule. The final interaction that I had with Clarissa was for my rehearsal dinner. I purchased a hi-lo hem gown online that was significantly marked down. When it arrived, the fit was okay but a bit snug (bridal sizes are difficult). The ladies at Clarissa worked their magic and were able to transform my dress into something worthy of a wedding day, not just a rehearsal dinner! Not only did they adjust the fit, but they modified the hemline to perfection. For any alterations, accessories, gowns, or advice, visit the ladies at Clarissa. They were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Clarissa Boutique was great and easy to work with. I worked with Earldine to make a custom veil that would go with my dress. She had different lace appliques that we worked with to make the veil. It came out beautifully and I am so happy with it. Earldine was great to work with and the vision of the veil came together beautifully.

The stylists at Clarissa's were incredibly helpful with helping me design a veil that perfectly complemented my wedding dress. Their prices were quite affordable - about half the cost of what I had been quoted at other salons, and the quality was impeccable. They had everything ready even earlier than expected and even suggested I bring the veil back to be pressed after my last fitting so it would be in perfect shape for the wedding. Highly recommend!
