Clarissa Boutique

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!

Great experience at Clarissa Boutique. They have a nice selection of jewelry, belts, veils and many other bridal elements. I got my veil custom made by them for a reasonable price and it turned out lovely. Also got my earrings there. The were a little pricey but really nice quality and unique design so I think I will wear them again at some point. The women at Clarissa were always very helpful and focused. You could tell they cared a lot about each bride's wedding and choices for style elements. I ended up also getting all of my bridesmaids' earrings there as well, and they were affordable ($25/pair) and great quality. The women at the boutique worked with me to make the earrings exactly what I wanted and were patient when I would be indecisive too. The earrings then came individually gift wrapped very nicely so that I didn't need to do anything but plop them in a bag and hand them out to my bridesmaids the day before the wedding.

I had bought my dress from another bridal salon. I brought my dress with me to try on to accessorize it. My dress came with a belt that I did not like, and Clarissa's had many belts that looked wonderful with my dress. They also put earrings, necklaces bracelets, veils and head pieces on me. It was such a fun time to be pampered. I can not remember the woman who helped me but she treated my dress with a lot of respect. They were not pushy when it came to buying anything. I did end up buying a belt, bracelet, and head piece there. I absolutely would recommend this shop to anyone who need accessories. time to be dressed up.

Two points of advice for brides considering Clarissa Boutique. First, please manage your expectations before you make an appointment. If a staff person tells you over the phone that you will be able to try on your dress before you try on accessories, that is not the case. I asked for the opportunity to try on my dress before I tried accessories, and I was turned down. (Even if that was a miscommunication, regardless, I was never invited to try on the dress afterward, which I had been promised over the phone.) Second, please DO NOT bring your wedding dress to the salon. I did, and I regret it. Before my appointment, I received my dress new from another bridal salon. The dress was carefully packaged in a garment bag and folded inside a shipping box with tissue paper. Prior, I had only tried on the dress once. It has intricate beading from top to bottom, and it is extremely delicate. Any imperfections caused by improper handling WILL become future costs, paid by me, in alterations. For obvious reasons, I intend to handle my dress with utmost care until my wedding day, and I expected that others would do the same. Consequently, I was shocked that as soon as I arrived for my appointment, and I turned away to help my mother sit down, a staff person had taken my box, UNPACKED MY DRESS, removed it from the garment bag, and unceremoniously hung it against a wall, without asking my permission or even verbally notifying me that she was doing so. Then, the same staff person began casually handling my dress as she talked, with no apparent purpose, plucking continuously at the sides and bodice of the dress with her fingers. Her fingers were covered in jewelry just waiting to snag on the material. My breath caught in my throat. After a minute of this (in which my mother protested at the risk of her jewelry snagging, which the staff person ignored), I finally asked the staff person if she could please not touch my dress needlessly. She stepped back from the dress. But she then responded by telling me that "it's just a dress," and I "need to learn to relax." She insisted that they handle wedding dresses all the time, and that they knew what they were doing. That may be true. However, I am not sorry to say that my wedding dress is NOT "just" a dress, it is my one and only wedding dress, which I traveled to another city to find, and purchased at great expense. I cherish it and hope to keep it in the best possible condition until my wedding day, when it can get dirty or damaged as it likes. This was not an isolated incident. At least one other staff person similarly approached the dress and casually began handling it as she talked, when there was no cause for her to do so. Again, this staff person's hands were also covered in jewelry, just waiting to snag on the beads. I finished that interaction feeling stunned, like a deer in the headlights. In fairness, after this, we were able to have a productive appointment. The staff were flexible in accommodating my interest in a custom veil; they had good ideas to re-use my mother's wedding gown; and they had a good selection of accessories at better-than-typical prices. However, due to the shock of my initial experience, I would have left immediately, if it weren't for the fact that my elderly mother was with me-- a rare occasion, since her health limits her ability to go out-- and I didn't want to spoil the experience for her. Be cautious. Relatively good prices may not justify doing business here.

I absolutely LOVED my earrings and necklace from Clarissa Boutique! Penny was so helpful and accommodating while I tried on different pieces. Everything in the store was so beautiful, you won't be disappointed!

Clarissa boutique did a fabulous job with my hair piece. They took something they had and customized it to perfectly match my dress!! I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day!!

Made my mother's veil look brand new with a new cathedral veil that went seamlessly with the original headpiece. Because the headpiece was a larger, 80s style they also suggested cutting it to fit my head and made matching pins for my sisters and flower girl out of the leftover pieces- they are now priceless heirlooms!

I bought my wedding earrings, hair piece, and a cathedral veil here. The workers were amazing. They worked with me and helped to design a beautiful lace cathedral veil. I received so many compliments on my veil. They made it exactly how I wanted it and then some. They do amazing work.

I bought a hair piece and a necklace from this boutique. They were extremely professional and helpful. The hair pieces are custom made to your liking. My mother-in-law and I spent a good deal of time trying on different clips and they were very accommodating. I wanted a necklace to go with my vintage rhinestone earrings and found a great one. They even cleaned and and replaced the chain.

I purchased my hair pieces from here and they are absolutely beautiful!! They had so many beautiful flowers to choose from as well as many hair pieces with bling! Everyone was so nice to work with and are able to make custom pieces! My mom got her hair piece as well as my maid of honor! They also added fabric embroidery pieces to our unity candle to match the fabric on my dress! This boutique is amazing and I recommend anyone to go here for jewelry, unity candles, money bags, and so much more!!

I purchased my wedding dress here last summer. Wonderful service here! I have another fitting to get things complete but from the first initial appointment and the first fitting was an amazing experience for a bride. As long as you are open to off the rack dresses, the prices are amazing and its worth checking out to see if you can find a dress. Not a huge selection but they change out a lot so worth checking out. This was my first stop and I picked I think it was the 3rd or 4th dress I tried on. It’s a very intimate experience. No crazy crowds of people. The focus was on just me both times. The first fitting was fun. Very overwhelming for myself because I had to make a lot of decisions but it went smooth and I loved how much they cared to help me make the right choices. I ended up buying everything there, the dress, veil, headpiece and having some lace added to my dress. I cannot wait to go back to see the finished dress. I recommend this place to everyone I talk to that’s looking for a dress.

i absolutely loved everything about the boutique, the staff was very helpful and accommodating, the ladies helped with alteration and gown accessories, i highly recommend. Thank you Clarissa Boutique for making my day even more exceptional

LOVED everything about this boutique! The ladies were extremely professional and helpful. I had a custom veil ordered which turned out beautiful and at a very reasonable cost. I also got my earnings and hair pins here, as well. I would definitely recommend them for all of your bridal accessories!

I bought my headpiece, earrings and bracelet from Clarissa's. The accessories were SO perfect and were the perfect additions to complete my bridal look. Working with the staff was great and they were very helpful in helping me make my decisions. I was able to find earrings and a bracelet that I will definitely be able to wear again which I love. The bracelet is made at Clarissa's and they have other custom bridal pieces as well. Definitely check them out if you are looking for the perfect bridal accessories - they have so many options and something for every bride!!

I was searching for a headband to wear on my wedding day, as well as a belt for my Maid of Honor. I went to Clarissa's after being referred by a friend and I'm so glad I did! The women there were WONDERFUL. So helpful and sweet! The first time I went, (without an appointment) they spent plenty of time helping me look for and try on headbands. I showed them photos of my dress and veil and they did the rest! Once I decided on a few that I liked, I went back with my mom a few weeks later. We then realized that the headband I had fallen in love with was a bit out of my price range (around $200 out of it), but again I was overly impressed with the helpfulness from the staff! They worked with my budget and came up with a custom headband for me that was exactly what I was looking for! They also helped me come up with a very inexpensive belt option for my Maid of Honor. They had me come back with her and her dress so they could help me decide how best to fit the belt, gave suggestions on how to get it sewn on the dress by the seamstress, and again spent tons of time with us! I would highly recommend Clarissa's to all brides! :)

Amazing and honest service and BEST value i found while still having amazing quality. I got a cathedral length white veil with silk lining for $155! Other stores were quoting me $299-550. Highly reccomend for veils. My clerk helped me try on styles, looked at my dress, gave options and really helped me out. It only took a week or 2, they called when it was finished and I picked it up with ease.

I purchased my veil and belt from Clarissa Boutique. We visited this shop after another bridal shop where we were left feeling disheartened because nothing seemed right and everything was overpriced. Clarissa was the opposite! I loved almost everything I tried on and the employees of the shop were so kind and helpful. The way my veil looked was so simple, elegant and classy. I really wanted to wear a blusher, and the way this fingertip-length veil looked with it was breathtaking. It really made me feel like a bride! The belt that I purchased totally transformed my dress. It was absolutely perfect! My veil was custom made and came in in what seemed like no time at all. The selection was great as well. I found the perfect accessories for my look, but there were many other options I tried on before settling on mine. To summarize, I would recommend this shop to anyone searching for a classic look for your bridal accessories. For a bridal shop, they are not overpriced. You will be given the best customer service and leave with a superior product.

I bought my dress at another dress shop and after getting an outrageous estimate for alterations, my friend recommended Clarissa Boutique. I cannot speak highly enough about Gretchen as a seamstress. She's extremely professional and talented. My dress was quite detailed, with multiple layers of chiffon and lace, and she was able to alter and bustle it perfectly! Not only is she incredible at what she does, but Clarissa Boutique as a whole is a great experience. I felt so welcomed every time I came in for an appointment and everyone was so helpful throughout the whole process. Unlike the other shop I had been to, I truly felt like Gretchen and the whole staff were in my corner and wanted this dress to look perfect for my big day. I'm so thankful for my experience with Clarissa Boutique and recommend it to anyone!

Everyone at Clarissa's Boutique was wonderful to work with! I bought my jewelry and veil here and I received so many compliments on both. Gretchen did an awesome job with my alterations and my dress fit absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for alterations, veils, and jewelry!!

Great pricing of my headpiece & veil that was very similar to ones I found elsewhere, but much more expensive elsewhere. They helped me incorporate the pearls and bling of my bracelet, with the opalescence and bling in my headpiece and all of these aspects into my earrings they had special ordered! This shop stayed open 10-15 minutes past closing time twice for me to make my decision as I was coming right after work. very accommodating and a great find!

I had such a wonderful experience! These ladies helped me pick out various head pieces, veils, and jewelry. The woman there also made a matching garter to a Penn State one I found there. They also have heavily discounted wedding gowns! I highly recommend this place!!

I loved Clarissa Boutique! I got my veil, headpiece, and earrings there, and everything was perfect! I got so many compliments on the custom "bubble" veil, and it was definitely solidly made. All the jewelry in the shop is elegant and beautiful, and the staff was very helpful while I was trying everything on. The prices are reasonable too, especially considering what some other boutiques in the area charge. I would definitely recommend Clarissa to any bride looking for something unique.

Clarissa Boutique was awesome! I ended up talking to the jewelry designer personally when I couldn't find anything that quite fit what I was thinking of. She reworked a pair of earrings for me to be the design I was looking for and they were absolutely perfect! I got so many compliments. Naturally, I came back when I wanted to get earring and necklace sets for my bridesmaids and flower girls! The designer helped me and my MOH design the pieces. She made them all in a few weeks and wrapped them in cute boxes with ribbons so I could give them out at the rehearsal dinner. Awesome experience! :)

i could not begin to say how wonderful, helpful and convenient the staff at Clarissa's Boutique were. We planned a wedding in less than 3 months and from the moment I walked in the staff were extremely nice, not pushy at all and compared to other bridal stores where I was being pushed in to sales and being overly sold to the complete opposite can be said about Clarissa's boutique. Any and every accessory you can possibly think of and their great selection of wedding gowns makes this my number one go to recommendation for every bride!! Thank you for all your help and great care you took of me!!

I went to Clarissa Boutique looking to see if they carried a veil that I found and loved online. Unfortunately, the original vendor only sells at two locations on the west coast and doesn't allow for returns or exchanges. I went to Clarissa's looking for a needle in a haystack and they not only came through but produced something even better and for $75 less than the original vendor. I worked with Earldine, who is not only professional and meticulous but extremely nice as well! The majority of our coordination was done via email and phone, since I live out of town. She warned me from the beginning that the veil would not be an exact replica, but I admit, I was altitude disappointed and worried. In the end, it was better than the original, since she was able to use beads from my dress on the veil and form it to fit my face/hair exactly. I couldn't be happier with the end result and encourage others to use this vendor as well! While shopping for my veil I also found earrings for my wedding day - oddly enough, I had already purchased earrings because I couldn't find the Art Deco style that I was looking for. Clarissa's has a wide variety of styles to choose from and I wish that I would have looked there first and saved my money from the first pair of earrings! I can't say enough good things about this store and am very grateful for finding it!

Clarissa Boutique was the perfect place to find my dress! Before I mention what they offer, I have to mention the staff. Everyone I worked with was caring and helpful. They were engaged in my experience. They offered expert advice when I was confused about what all I should be doing and always seemed interested in how I was doing emotionally and how the wedding plans were going. In terms of what Clarissa offers, they have many affordable dresses and they were so easy to work with when I wanted to make some changes to the dress that I chose. They made sure that it fit perfectly and looked how I hoped it would look. I also was very grateful that they had veils and jewelry there as well. I got a veil and handmade earrings and a bracelet that were very affordable.

Everyone we dealt with at Clarissa's was extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and highly skilled. They took my dress from off the rack at David's Bridal and turned it into a one of a kind masterpiece that looked like a million bucks and fit like a glove. I also bought my jewelry and some accessories from them and they helped me make sure all my pieces complimented each other very well. They listened very closely to what I wanted and delivered. Not only that, but they went above and beyond, adding little extras like a loop for me to hold the train up that made the experience all that much more enjoyable. The price was highly reasonable for the services I received, they were considerably lower actually than other places where I have received less quality service for bridal party alterations in the past.

I had a wonderful experience at Clarissa Boutique! I went there 4 days before my wedding because I had make a last minute decision to add a belt to my dress. After speaking with the staff, they offered to make me an organza belt that would button into my dress for a seamless look. I was nothing short of astonished when they said they could have it the next day! It was a perfect addition to my bridal look and I am so glad that I went to Clarissa Boutique! I highly recommend them to any bride!

Jeannie made my earrings and bracelette for my wedding and they were beautiful and done in a timely manner! I also got my veil and headpeice from here as well!

I am living in Chicago but have come back to Pittsburgh to do a lot of my wedding shopping due to the higher prices and taxes for just about everything. As I was wrestling with how to find a nice classic veil without paying the exorbitant prices the bridal boutiques try to charge I was referred to Clarissa Boutique. I can't say enough about the service that I received when I visited. From the minute I walked in and showed them the pic of my dress and described my style they showed me options they thought would suit me. Gave me plenty of time to review and I ended up ordering a veil for WAY less than I would have paid elsewhere. I also found they had a nice selection of hair accessories and ended up getting one of those as well. The veil (made there at the store) was ready early and they were nice enough to help my mom pack it up for shipping to Chicago as well. I highly recommend any Pittsburgh bride to stop by and visit Clarissa if you are looking for any bridal accessories.

I had a wonderful experience working with the ladies at Clarissa's. I ended up buying my jewelry there, and a few other pieces of jewelry there for my flower girls (it is so hard to find formal jewelry for little girls!). I only got my wedding gown alterations done there, and everything was great. If they felt unclear about something, they called me up and asked if I wanted to come in and make sure that "X" or "Y" was what I wanted for my dress. They are so knowledgeable there, have so much experience, and they are so calm and kind and helpful. I highly recommend Clarissa Boutique for any bridal accessories and especially gown alterations!

Dresses were gorgeous, and they let you in the room to try on as many as you want! It's like being a little girl playing dress-up. I got my dress altered there as well, because we couldn't beat the level of expertise and the prices. Couldn't recommend this place more. They made me feel like a princess!

The women at this boutique are wonderful. They are extremely friendly and helpful! I ordered a custom veil and bought costume jewelry from them. The veil was perfect! The only thing I can say regarding the value is that at the end of the day, the diamonds are not real. Some of the price tags may make you think otherwise. However, I really loved the earrings,bracelet, and hair pins I purchased here. The ladies will be cognizant of your budget if you are direct with them. Overall, great boutique and great people.

Clarissa Boutique did a fantastic job from altering my dress, creating a very easy bustle on what was a complicated dress to bustle given the lightweight and delicate material, and helping me to create a perfect blusher veil. I also purchased my head piece from Clarissa and was so pleased. The ladies are fantastic at guiding you to create the perfect look and the workmanship was unparalleled. Very pleased with the end result and had so many compliments on my dress the day of the wedding. Would absolutely recommend Clarissa Boutique to anyone in the Pittsburgh area! I did not purchase my dress from the shop, but they were completely welcoming throughout my entire experience!

I was searching for the perfect mix of pearl and silver in a bracelet. I searched online everywhere and couldn't find it then remembered Clarissa Boutique. They had exactly what I was looking for! They had one that would have worked just fine but they made me a new one to match my earring pearl color exactly and a perfect fit on my wrist. They had it made in less than 2 weeks too. It was very reasonably priced for such a great product. Can't wait to wear it on my wedding!

Very friendly and helpful staff. I had a garter handmade from my mom's wedding dress for my "something old" and it turned out so lovely. They were able to keep the original shape of the big "80's" lace and use the beadwork as well. It was also done very quickly as I planned my wedding in just a few weeks. I will be returning to this shop when it's time to have a christening gown made for my little one.

Clarissa Boutique was AMAZING to work with! They have a discounted wedding dress section- brand new designer dresses at half the price! (Seriously, check that out, it’s no joke! The website pictures do it no justice). Their staff was so helpful and fun in the whole process of trying on dresses and ‘blinging me out’ with their one-of- a-kind jewelry - the first dress I tried on was THE one! It was a beautiful Maggie Sottero with intricate beading and lace. The alterations were perfect and right on! My dress looked amazing (and most importantly I felt amazing)!!! I found my veil and swarovski crystal hairclip there as well. I went to pick up my dress the day before my wedding- the ladies who had worked on my dress delicately placed it into my car and gave me a hug. I knew my beautiful wedding dress had been lovingly worked on and care for! I highly recommend Clarissa Boutique for alterations, veils, jewelry and wedding dresses!

A must stop BEFORE you buy elsewhere!! Great prices and extremely helpful staff!! Can't say enough about the wonderful people who staff this boutique. They even have lace and Parker Buttons!!!

I purchased my dress from another salon but was looking for somewhere with a good reputation to take my dress for alterations. It was truly my perfect dress and although not much needed to be done to it, the skirt was layered and delicate and I wanted to make sure it was done right and that the bustle would look good. Clarissa Boutique did not disappoint. Gretchen did my alterations, just needing to hem the skirt and put cups into the dress. The hem that I thought would be complicated she made so easy and beautifully executed. The bustle was simple for my bridesmaids to do and it maintained the integrity of the skirt which is what I really wanted. The price was also reasonable from what I understand some other salons charge, and truly a great value as I was very pleased with the service we received and the way the dress turned out.

Clarissa Boutique is a wonderful bridal fashions shop! I was struggling to find the perfect bridal jewelry, came across their website and boy am I glad I did! The shop owner was very helpful and friendly, allowing me to try on necklaces and earrings and even brought over a strapless wedding gown to hold up so I could get an idea of what the jewelry would look like with my own gown! I wanted to find something simple that I would be able to wear again for other special occasions and that is exactly what I got. They have a style for everyone though! They also make custom jewelry. I purchased a pearl bracelet that was a little large when a went to pick it up. The owner sized it right there before I left and I was so glad she was able to do that in only a few minutes. I was highly impressed with the selection and service and would recommend the shop to any bride!
