Ferri Formals and Bridals

mely pleased with my dress and the alterations. But most important was the personal connection Marylu made. When I had last minute changes and my toddler had to come to my final dress fitting, Marylu held him the whole time! Highly recommend!

reviously bridal stores to find anything I loved but at Ferri’s, I had multiple dresses I loved right away. Their selection is amazing and their staff really listen and help you find the perfect dress. Such a positive experience. I also got my dress altered here. Marylu and her mother are magicians! I am amazed at their talents. Thank you!

use of the designers they carried, and ended up falling in love because of the personalized and competent customer service. At my first appointment, I let them know my budget and the kind of styles I was interested in, and I found my dress that day. They also did the alterations on site for us all and everyone’s dresses and suits fit perfectly after the first fittings. They’re attentive, flexibile, and welcoming. I never felt more beautiful than I did in my dress. Would highly recommend!

went to shop for my wedding dress. When I was trying on dresses and searching for the perfect one, I never felt rushed or pressured. It was such a fun experience and they made me feel so special. I took my dress home with me and brought it back a few months before my wedding for alterations. I had my dress taken in quite a bit and it was still a little big on top after alterations. They did even more alterations and told me I could pick it up 2 days before my wedding. That was stressful, but they assured me it would be ready and that there would still be time left for more alterations if needed. They pulled it off and I was happy with how well my dress fit me. My husband and his Best Man rented their tuxes from Ferri Formals and the process was very easy for them. They also altered my Maid of Honor dress, even though it was purchased from somewhere else. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience with Ferri Formals and I'm looking forward to having them clean and preserve my dress!

dresses for my bridesmaids.

e to answer all my questions to make sure I found the perfect dress & it fit perfectly. Definitely would recommend to anyone and everyone.

ed to every step of the way. Now my dress is back in their hands for cleaning and preservation, and I have no doubt they’ll do a fantastic job. Thanks so much to Marylu and the wonderful staff at Ferri for making me feel like a dream on my wedding day!

recommend Ferris to any future bride who is looking for not only her perfect dress, but a place that has super friendly and helpful staff as well !

lenty of time for it to arrive since we ended up postponing our reception. My dress was a perfect fit and i got soooo many complements on it! I highly recommend Ferri Formals to anyone!

essured. They had a large variety of dresses and were very accommodating to work with. All of the staff were genuinely interested in hearing about your wedding and helped look for your perfect dress. They have more than one gorgeous area to try on dresses and really makes you feel like a special bride! I highly recommend!

l so easy. I loved supporting this local business and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

y that I bought my dress were fun. I made sure to try on a few till I found the one that I will currently wear down the aisle. At the shop you will notice many dresses to chose from and accessories or veils if needed. The staff was very friendly and was excited about my wedding day as I was. If a bride wanted to look for a dress I highly reccomend this shop. Also keep an eye out for deals they have. I got my dress around Valentine's day and got my dress half off. Hope other brides are as happy as I am. 10 out of 10, would reccomend!!!!!

ID pandemic. During this time Marylu provided a safe and comfortable shopping experience. Once I found my dress, Ferri Formals performed the alterations and stored my dress until the week of my wedding. I received multiple comments on how beautiful my dress was and questions on where I had purchased it from.

(added straps and buttons down the back) to make it perfect for me. The team is so patient and attentive to each and every client. I truly felt like family when I was there. I would recommend Ferri’s to anyone looking for a wedding dress. I had a wonderful experience here. I’m sad the process is over because I loved going to Ferri’s!!

s was especially important during these trying times. Even after my wedding, Marylu has been so quick and responsive to my needs with dress preservation questions. Ferri Formals has made me feel like a huge part of the family with posting my pictures from the wedding on their Instagram-it just warms my heart! If you ask most of the brides in the Capital Region where they bought their dress from, they will say Ferri Formals! They are just the best!

ectly, and I received so many compliments all night long. Not only did I purchase my dress from Ferri Formals, I also purchased my beautiful veil and wedding jewelry. Marylu and her team were so welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I will definitely be recommending them to all future brides!

ss free. They even provided me with different vendors to use when I was scrambling at the last minute to finalize wedding plans. Wonderful shopping experience for myself and my bridal party who came with me dress shopping!

dress I would have never considered. So happy with my choice!

just knew this was the one. Ferri’s consultant was so patient and knowledgeable and beyond helpful it was a wonderful experience. Their alterations department was also very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend them.

ace. Mary Lou was wonderful! With not a lot of time, she helped choose a dress that was perfect! It was the first one she tried on and made an absolutely stunning bride! Thank you Mary Lou!

mazing experience there and would do it all over again. The first dress I tried on was THE one I went for and knew instantly, but tried some others on for fun. Pat and I had a great time, she was so patient and kind. She found the perfect veil and earrings to match my dress and was so compassionate with not just me but my family. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for bridal or formal dresses! Thanks again!

ith my couples and one of their highlights is of course, choosing their wedding attire. Couples seem to ALWAYS find their dream dress and outfits at Ferri's. The owner, Marylu, approaches her business with an unequalled expertise. She knows her inventory and can really listen to what her customer is looking for then she finds options that are the perfect fit. She seems to be able to work within any given budget. Marylu also regularly advertises all of her sales and deals. Finally, like a bow on an already beautiful package, the alterations she offers gives the individual as custom fit - just as it was made for them! Best of all, she does it all with heart, she really cares. I have seen her come with needle and thread and help a bride that had an accident on her wedding day. She is that good. You will love her!!!!! Look no further. As you can tell, I am not only a colleague but also a customer:)

t only did I find the PERFECT dress, MaryLu and the sales woman stayed late to make sure we had all of the necessary information to make a decision. I enjoyed shopping for a dress here more than I did at Kleinfeld’s! I wasn’t rushed, they were able to accommodate my short time frame and I received their undivided attention. There were numerous dresses in my size (plus), even on the sample rack which pleasantly surprised me. There were tons of options for me to try on. I can’t wait to wear my dress!!! My only suggestion would be actual fitting rooms instead of curtained areas. But the shop itself was small and cozy with dresses galore.

"the one" within 5 dresses! The fitting went smoothly, however, being an out of towner it was difficult to get there during the week (which is when I was told they do their fittings/alterations). My first fitting happened on a week day but they were able to work with me to have my final fitting take place on a Saturday. The final product was a dress so beautiful and felt made for me. Tip: Do not eat a large lunch beforehand! It made my waist a little bigger than how it actually fit on my wedding day. This was absolutely not the fault of Ferri Formals :) and you really couldn't tell from the picture that I had a tiny bit of extra room in there. I referred an old colleague to Ferri Formals for her wedding day dress, so I hope she has a great experience as I did! Full tranparency to help other brides: I picked out several dresses around $1500-$1900 to try on. I fell in love without looking at the price. When I did, I saw that it was off the rack / sample size Stella York on sale for $299. I almost died..... My alterations cost more than the dress! They were around $600-700. I don't think I could have gotten a better deal anywhere on the planet....

they made me feel so special. They were well versed in styles, designers and accessories. The moment I put on my dress I cried, my family cried and even the woman helping me got teared up. It was amazing! My husband and I live out of state and the staff at Ferri Formals was always available over phone and so helpful! Everything was perfect for our wedding day. They recently cleaned and packaged my gown as well! I along with my husband highly recommend Ferri Formals. They are incredibly kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable.

al and i was able to walk around and pick my own dresses that i wanted to try on. They make it easy and fun. So happy i went to them and found the dress of my dreams!

t have asked for anything better and would recommend them to anyone!

Florist and many of my brides have used Ferri Formals for their special day. They have such an incredible dress selection and again amazing staff. Do not go anywhere else for your big day this bridal shop will not disappoint.

er got tired of hauling up dresses for me to try on that fit the style I was looking for. I have recommended my friends here and they also have found their dress with wonderful service. Fast forward to almost 4 years later while looking for a place to preserve my Allure lace wedding dress and not willing to send it to a cleaner that is going to charge me $300, I call up Ferri's and because I bought the dress there, they gladly stated they will clean and preserve it in a box for half the price of the other cleaners. When I walked in I saw the same friendly faces as years ago and they genuinely ere interested in my life now and asked to see my wedding pictures! Now that is true customer service with a smile!

or and told to look around as they check on the room downstairs. I started pointing out dresses to my mom and as soon as the woman came back up she gathered every single dress I had asked for- like 15..seriously!! As we were getting ready to head downstairs the bride that was upstairs finished and my stylist said "change of plans, I love the upstairs room and so will you! I'm gonna grab the dresses and bring them up". the upstairs room is enormous and so beautiful! we spent about 2 and a half hours trying on dresses walking around in them, everything. they had cookies and water and my stylist made sure to ask me if I needed a break or wanted a snack every couple dresses. she ran around looking for the perfect tiara to go with one of the dresses. she was so complimentary of everything I tried on. she really boosted my confidence and helpful with everything! There were 3 dresses that I loved and couldn't decide so I went home and think about it. after looking at another shop, I did not end up purchasing my dress here but I couldn't not give a review because my stylist, Patty, was the absolute best and made my first time dress shopping an experience to rave about! I would definitely tell any bride dress shopping to go here!!

at I bought. The first time I went I went alone. She made me feel so comfortable. The second time she not only was again amazing but also kind to my mom and best friend who I brought. The bridal suit to try on dresses is roomy, and beautiful. I will be going back for my bridesmaid dresses. I can't say thank you enough. If I could give more then 5 stars I would.

I fell in love. Ferri formals has wonderful helpful staff and I would highly recommend checking them out for your wedding dress. From start to finish they have been great.

We purchased a wedding dress, 7 bridesmaid dresses, and rented 7 groomsmen tuxedos and had no issues. She has a great selection, and the alterations were also very good. They are the best and I would choose them again in a heartbeat!

o again to look for my wedding dress. Compared to other salons I can definitely say they don’t try to force you into anything you don’t want to try, they give you their honest unbiased opinions and make you feel so comfortable. I couldn’t be happier that I chose my dress from here and can not wait to pick it up next week! Thank you!

ting ways to fix the little things I was worried about or wanted to cover up. She found the perfect accessories that gave my dress the extra touches it needed. Marylu was very knowledgeable about the fabrics and structures of the different dresses when I was trying to narrow down my favorites. I highly recommend booking an appointment!

I'm a bit biased) and easy to wear. I got so many compliments on my dress the day of my wedding, I never wanted to take it off. Additionally, the alterations were spot on (all done in shop). My only qualm about the salon was that there were several times I arrived having an appointment but the salon had no record of me having an appointment. With that being said, they still accommodated me on the spot. A few times, staff seemed confused or unsure of their duties which wasn't the most reassuring feeling as a bride, HOWEVER, the staff that did know what they were doing were absolutely AMAZING. Overall, I think the quality of the dresses and the price points are on point. My advice, if you are a type A bride like me is to just double check on everything and ask a lot of questions. In the long run, I was extremely pleased with my dress and service.

wn perfectly. Debbie assisted the bridal party with measurements and design and was delightful! Mrs. Ferri did all my wedding gown alterations and I absolutely love and adore her!

dress. I spoke with the owner of Ferri Formals who was very nice and worked with me to find the dress and have the sample come to their store. I had already been to a few shops and didn’t get the right vibe to buy from them nor did they have my dream dress. When I entered Ferri Formals it was a different feeling I knew this is where I would get my dress unfortunately the sample was too small to fit into. It took a few more dresses and Marylu’s assurance that the dress that didn’t fit was my dress. They even helped me figure out my shoes during the fitting and one of the girls helped me with my earrings. I certainly recommend going there and taking advantage of the deals and advice they offer.

! I called Ferri's in a panic and not really thinking they would help me since we didn't originally purchase there. To my surprise the owner was beyond understanding, super quick to call the designer and arrange for new dresses to be sent to her shop. I brought her the wrong dresses and she is getting us the right dresses!!! We leave for the wedding in 8 days. She has completely saved my baby sisters wedding!!! I will forever be thankful for her! She has gone above and beyond to help us clean up a disaster that she didn't cause.. solely out of the kindness of her heart!! A true amazing business owner!!! The shop was clean and gorgeous, everyone working was friendly and so graciously accommodating.
