La Raine's Boutique

AMAZING. She knew exactly which dresses to pull to help me hone in on the style I liked, and she made the entire experience so fun and special for us in the private Flamingo room. I fell in love with the first dress I tried on and went back the next day to purchase it after going to another store and realizing that nothing else could compare to that first dress. They have a huge selection of dresses at several different price points, AND you get a 10% discount if you buy a dress within 24 hours of your appointment! LaRaine herself is so down-to-earth and fun to talk to – she and my mom became instant besties. It is very evident that everyone here loves what they do. I couldn’t have asked for a better dress shopping experience and I am so so glad that my first appointment was at La Raine’s & that I got Liana as my consultant! If you are a bride-to-be trying to figure out where to make appointments, I would HIGHLY recommend that you make La Raine’s your first stop!

d me through the whole wedding dress experience stress free and with ease! Loved them!

ad the WHOLE place to ourselves and for the first 30 minutes we all just picked dresses that we liked. I tried them on in a beautiful, sunlit room, as my ladies lounged on a couch. I felt SUPER special in this special moment. In the end, the sweet woman who helped us ultimately picked out my dress, saying "I know you didn't choose this one to try on, but from the moment I saw you, I thought of this dress!" She was right, I put it on, it was magic, and it was mine. LaRaine's is the place to go for dresses of all styles, price points, and for an experience you'll be proud to write a review about. Thank you LaRaine's!!

y consultant took special care to ask about my personal style, my weeding theme, dresses I liked and disliked from personal experience and then told me to look and pull dresses I liked. She also selected a few choices based on my answers. She took her time with me even as I kept saying all the dresses looked amazing but I just didn’t feel like I had found my dress yet. Then something amazing happened; she said she saved her favorite for last. As she brought in the dress I was stunned it was the same dress I saved in my phone as the perfect dress not thinking I would be able to find it. I tried it on and I knew it was the one. I never showed her the picture I had saved, but because she listened to me and understood my vision for the wedding, she was able to pick out my perfect dress. I said „yes to the dress“ and never needed to visit another bridal store. Everyone at La Raine‘s was excited to help from beginning to end. They answered every question I had and made sure I felt comfortable and cared for. Thank you ladies!

es were welcoming and made me feel completely comfortable. During my appointment, I was assisted by La Raine as well as her daughter, Melissa. They took such care and attention to listen to what I was looking for and even assisted with me picking out some dresses to try on along with headpieces. La Raine's was the first bridal shop that I visited and the experience and atmosphere (along with the amazing dress selections) made me not want to look elsewhere! I purchased a gown on the same day (to note, if you buy a gown within the first 24 hours of trying on dresses, you receive 10% off). I ordered my gown in September and it's scheduled to arrive in December. Definitely recommend La Raine's for all future brides!

t!

able and will make your entire experience!

ghly recommend - I went to several shops and this one was special.

and their sister store Suite Bridal immediately stepped into action mode and handled the emergency perfectly, and had such a sense of urgency to get things figured out for me that I knew I was in good hands and everything would be resolved on time. Sara, Courtney and La Raine were the best problem solvers and went above and beyond for me. I seriously cannot recommend La Raine's and Suite Bridal enough!

y but efficiently went through how the process would go. Not having a clue what kind of dress I was looking for, my girls and I pulled a wide variety of dresses and the fun began! Courtney was absolutely amazing! She was able to help me figure out easily what I liked and didn’t like as I tried on dress after dress. We found one that was a showstopper and ended up being the dress I compared everything else to the rest of that day. Not only was Courtney helpful in the dress selection but she was informative about great food around the shop and also had good information about the other stores I told her I would be visiting. While I found a dress I absolutely loved at La Raine’s, I ended up finding one I loved just a little bit more the next day. But I wanted to write this review of my incredible experience with the shop and Courtney because unfortunately we did not experience the same level of customer service at the other shops we visited on the first day. So thank you Courtney and La Raine’s! You made my wedding dress shopping experience a truly memorable and enjoyable experience!

experience. She never made me feel like I was taking too long, too indecisive, or picky about styles. She definitely was the best hype girl when I got excited about finding my dress. It felt like she was part of my bridal party! My experiences at other places were not as personable, as I felt like just another appointment they had to get over with. ALSO, Sara was the BEST dress clipper I've ever encountered. She knew exactly where to clip the dress to give you an idea of what the actual fit + style will look like on YOUR body. I just tried on my dress today and it looked exactly like how Sara clipped it on me the first time I tried it on. If you want a stress free, family feel experience, go to Laraine's. They also have private parking in the back, which will help for anyone not accustomed to ATL traffic.

you feel welcome. Each room is private which allows for a more comfortable experience for the bride and guests!

dress I would fall in love with would be away above my budget. This place proved all of that wrong. This was my 3rd stop when I started dress shopping. Right from when I walked in, I fell in love with this place. The dresses on display were beautiful and looked like they cost 3 times more than what the price tags actually said and the customer service was impeccable. La Raine, the owner and Sara Levy were there throughout my whole experience and made bridal shopping so comfortable and fun. You can tell they really enjoy what they do and make you feel right at home with their friendly attitude. I got scared that I was making my decision too early being that this was just my 3rd stop and decided to see 6 more stores to see what else was out there. After seeing a lot of repetitive dresses that didn't have the wow factor I was looking for, I came running right back to La Raine and absolutely said yes to my dress!

ough to try them all on. The staff was personable, Sarah was great and LaRaine herself was incredibly personal and seemed vested in making sure the bride was happy with not just her dress, but the experience as a whole. They even waited till 6 even though they close at 5, just to be accommodating. I loved the team, it felt like a family! The bride said yes to her dress tonight and we couldn’t be happier. I definitely recommend them! They’re genuine, the dresses are gorgeous and they naturally give you a wonderful experience.

  The ordering process was easy and well explained and the dress came in early (what a nice surprise!).  I got so many compliments on the dress at my wedding and I am so thankful for the ladies at La Raines for their help in making my husband and my Big Day special.

nderful, the dresses are gorgeous. It makes me smile just to think about it.

hey helped me find my perfect. I couldn't thank them more.

d thing in the world and I found myself very discouraged. That is, until Sara from La Raine's followed-up with me about my online inquiry about black gowns. She was legitimately excited about the challenge and I came in the next day and found my perfect dress. Not only was Sara an absolute gem, La Raine herself came in and we chatted a bit about why I chose to go with the black gown and I really felt that they were genuinely just as excited as I was. I would recommend La Raine's to anyone. They were beyond a pleasure to work with.

a true example of service! I can’t imagine having purchased my dress elsewhere after such an amazing experience with Sara at La Raine’s. I was in complete heaven walking down the isle in my gorgeous dress! THANK YOU! -Kayley McLaughlin Lanois

a special place in my heart :-)

heir brides and I felt like if I didn't find my dress in Atlanta then the dress just was not out there for me. However, defeated and all I went to my last appointment at La Raine's. We were kindly greeted at the door and we were very early. However, due to how personal they are with their brides we could not wait because they had appointments going on. Instead, I was given a huge hug and then she said, "I want you to completely start over. Forget all the dresses you have tried on today and breathe. I am so sorry you had a bad experience so we are doing it over for the other boutiques. You are going to go down he street to the bar and have a drink and something to eat. Then you are going to come up here and try on any dress you would like and we will take our time until you find your dress." Well, we did just that and it was seriously a dream. I went from tears of defeat to tears of joy as I found the perfect dress. She let me look all by myself so that I could take my time and envision myself as the bride I had dreamed of. Then the owner La Raine even came up to help me make the final decision. We all shed some happy tears when I put on my dress for the last time and LaRaine constantly told me how beautiful I looked. I couldn't recommend La Raine's Boutique anymore. Then I had a nightmare when I made the trip to pick up my dress. The dress was way too small and did not zip. However, they immediately looked into the problem and found that they accidentally ordered my dress 2 sizes too small. It was a nightmare. They immediately ordered me the correct dress and constantly apologized on behalf of the employee that made the mistake. They felt so bad and had the new dress expedited so that I would still have it on time for alterations. Seriously, La Raine's is incredible and even when things go wrong, they make sure that their brides are taken care of.

wn but they were beautiful. I can't thank her enough for helping me find the dress. I went to several bridal shops before discovering La Raine's and I'm so glad I stumbled in because I found the PERFECT dress. They have a huge selection of dresses and they have a variety of styles and fits so you should be able to find exactly what you are looking for. I loved the private rooms they have for dress fittings. It gives you a much more intimate and special feel.

short timeline and would be transporting my dress on a plane. All the consultants were very helpful when I called, and definitely gave me peace of mind about the whole process!

ss shopping at LaRaine's and can't wait to wear my gorgeous dress on my wedding day!! Definitely consider going to this boutique, you will NOT walk away disappointed!

tart over with my bridal experience. La Raine's does not just care about the business or you buying the most expensive dress, they care about each individual bride and her needs. While trying on a lot of dresses I was given such great advice to help with the decision so that it was not overwhelming. They gave great insight and cheered you on in the process. The owner even came up while I was trying on dresses and made me feel like the most special bride. The rooms are private and comfortable so that you do not feel that you are on display. They have hundreds of stunning dresses and even more stunning employees. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO

t dress for me. My sisters and friends had fun too in this very relaxing and charming southern boutique. I can't wait to get my dress in and complete the final part of this process. So, until then I'm out—keep you posted on my LaRaine’s experience!

act my dress had to come through customs. Michelle was positively amazing in pulling dresses and suggesting accessories. The staff is great (down to Jack the dog lol) were very responsive with giving me updates on the arrival date of my dress. Furthermore, Michelle measured my measurements so perfect that my dress literally needs minimal alterations (a bustle, hem, that's really it) which saved me lots of money! It's super easy to get appointments for both fittings and alterations. I would strongly recommend this bridal salon to any bride. They have a variety of different designers and a very good and reasonable variety of price ranges.

another salon right before my appointment at La Raine's. I was dreading calling to cancel but I did to be polite and I cannot speak more highly about the lady who answered the phone. She not only completely understood about cancelling my appointment but she congratulated me on finding a dress and getting engaged. She was so positive and sweet and somehow made me feel happy by the end of our phone conversation. I will continue to recommend this salon just merely based on their customer service!

). I was torn between two dresses and they never pressured me to make a decision, and even let me come back the next day with my mom and bridesmaids to help. They have a wonderful selection and various pricepoints - my dress was actually under my budget but looked like a million bucks! The alterations and fittings were a breeze. I actually looked forward to each appointment and how wonderful everyone was during the fitting. Thank you to all of you for making this process a breeze!

stress, Corone, is nothing short of a miracle worker, and did a phenomenal job on the alterations. I would highly recommend this shop if you're looking for a great bridal experience.

at this family run boutique was unmatched. In the end I think I picked the dress because I love it, but also because I felt good about the place I was buying it. They did not rush me, they did not put a timeline on first appointment discounts like so many. At most other salons we felt like we were at a used car lot - not at La Raine's - they truly care about the customer and not the bottom line. During our entire wedding planning process it was very important to us to support local small businesses and La Raine's has been around Virginia Highlands for a long time and it was a joy supporting her! Sarah was INCREDIBLE during our first try on session and throughout the process. She was positive, honest and truly wanted me to have my ideal dress regardless of the cost - high or low. La Raine was attentive and always on top of the details as well. When the dress came in and we went to pick it up - it was a true celebration with the staff at La Raine's who had helped us along the way. All along I wanted a beautiful dress I was excited about but that didn't break the bank. La Raine's has a very good selection of quality gowns for very fair prices across the board. I could not recommend them more both for their variety but more importantly the personal attention of the staff. We felt like family when we left! THANK YOU LA RAINE'S !!!!

what she is talking about, truly a professional. Someone I truly want to thank is the "magician" AKA Caron, the seamstress. She is truly talented. I would recommend this shop to everyone I know. On a side note: The store is quaint and pretty and has amazing dresses in all styles and price points. HIGHLY recommend. Lauren T

ng to look for a dress. The process was wonderful, the people were so helpful and absolutely did not pressure me at all. LaRaine knows what she is talking about, and has such a knowledge of the industry, fabrics, etc. If you don't go to LaRaine's, you are doing yourself a disservice.

ly flexible with fittings. I highly recommend getting your dress at La Raines!

(not the most expensive one!!) The woman who does the alterations is also fantastic! I cannot recommend La Raine's highly enough!

d Courtney Reimer help me out and she made the whole experience incredible! She knew I had other places I was trying on dresses and that I may not buy from them. She made me feel extremely comfortable and never once pressured me into trying to buy or decide on a dress, which was very refreshing from other places. She was honest with her opinions and made sure that I looked great in everything I tried on! Courtney had such a positive attitude that made my whole experience incredible!

experience was great thanks to Sara and La Raine's!

ith. She made sure she knew what kind of dress I had in mind and picked accordingly -- and she let me know if a dress was over budget before I tried it on. She was also so patient with my two guests (my mom & her best friend) who have very strong opinions ;) The ordering and payment process went smoothly, but I couldn't give La Raine's 5/5 stars completely on service, because my dress came in exactly one month before the wedding, which was a little nerve-wracking. I know dresses take a long time to come in, but it seemed like it was "shipping right now" for a couple of weeks! Even so -- every time I called to check in they were very patient with me... and when my dress arrived La Raine called me personally and quickly set up an appointment time last minute for me to try in on & pick it up -- which was very professional and meant a lot! Thanks for my gorgeous dress!

lifetime experience! Staff is absolutely lovely from top to bottom! And Jack, La Raine's shih tzu, is the cutest mascot to greet you every time! I would HIGHLY recommend this one of kind wedding boutique! To the entire staff, Thank you so much for all that you did for me and our special day!

I picked up my dress and I think they forgot to place the order. Once I called to remind them that it hadn't come in, I believe they rushed the order and I got it in two weeks. They claim the lace must have been hard to find??? I have to penalize them for the alterations location they suggested (as they do not do alterations on weekends). Do NOT go to Gizelle James for alterations!

ued with my daughter and even my husband who wrote a letter and submitted photos.

being affordable. I also purchased a beautiful belt and veil, which I was extremely happy with. The alterations were spot on and they are willing to make last minute adjustments if needed. The staff at La Raine's made me smile every time I walked through the door. I couldn't be happier with my wedding dress experience.

consultant that I was assigned to was absolutely perfect. She showed us the racks of the designer that I was interested in and just let us browse through it while answering questions that we had. There was absolutely no pressure what so ever. I would highly recommend this bridal salon to anyone and everyone.

udes. Would recommend this store to everyone.

putting on their jewelry, not seeing yourself before you go to show friends/family, or not letting you pick your own dresses---all of this happened elsewhere). Everything was EXCELLENT & I would reccomend Laraine's to anyone and everyone getting married!

and friendly. My dress came in on time just like they said and I picked it up with no problem. I also bought a belt for my dress that was gorgeous. Nancy was the best to work with! Thank you La Raine's!

have changed a thing about it on my wedding day!

ma, and a few bridesmaids to my appointment. Nancy took us upstairs and showed us each different section of dresses. We all went "shopping" and brought several dresses back to my room. I got to try all of the dresses on and never once felt rushed. Nancy told me about all the different features of each dress and even came back with a few of her own picks after listening to what I liked and didn't like. I thought dress shopping was going to be a very stressful experience, but Nancy made it a very fun one! Her attention was on my group the entire time we were in the salon. I never felt like we were her second priority (as I did in other salons). In other salons I also felt like I was just one of hundreds of groups being pushed through and hurried to make decisions. I never once felt like that in La Raine's. I felt relaxed and actually enjoyed searching for a dress. If you want a place where the people truly want to help you find the perfect dress, I would definitely recommend visiting La Raine's!

d fitted me in a dress that looked amazing. Thanks so much. I hope to one day have it framed, so I can see it in all of it glamour.

ork miracles.

ting a great review. The employees who helped us could not have been more attentive and made us feel completely comfortable. There was never a moment I felt pressured to make my decision on the spot and they did a great job of making the experience completely enjoyable!

gown in the coming months!

helped me pick the dress that was most flattering on me, even though it was the less expensive of the two. Their onsite seamstress is amazing and my dress fit perfectly. Sara was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and I genuinely miss talking to her now that my wedding is over.

sn't worth their time. La Raine's was AMAZING and the ladies there made me feel pampered and beautiful. I called and made a reservation. I was there for a little over an hour, had a salesperson with me the whole time, and never felt rushed! Thank you Sarah and the other ladies at La Raine's for taking the stress out of the dress! I recommend you to EVERY bride I come across!

an entire section of dresses in my budget! Leslie, the patient, energetic woman that helped me find my wedding dress, was a dream. She helped me figure out what I wanted very quickly, and was the one to find my dream dress. I absolutely recommend visiting this idyllic bridal shop!

so detail oriented and fixed things that I didn't even see myself. Great, great experience!!!

er gowns after, but nothing compared to the dress Michelle picked for me. Everyone in the salon was so kind. Though there were other brides in the salon, I truly felt like the only bride in the building. That says a lot about how attentive the staff is. On my subsequent visits to the salon to pick up items, the consultants remember my name (not just my consultant, but others in the salon); They remember my dress, seemingly off the top of their heads. This level of personal service just makes me feel good. My dress, veil, and sash have all come in and they look exactly the way I want them to. I cannot wait until April to make that walk!

ses, and purchased the very first dress that I had tried on - which was recommended by the sales lady. They know their dresses! It was a fantastic and special experience for both my mom and I, as we were treated perfectly and never rushed or pushed. The alterations process was also very easy and not terribly expensive. Would highly recommend for bridal dress shopping. La Raine herself is so nice too!

one Leslie picked out I knew i found the one, came out of the dressing room and my mom started crying. bought my Paloma Blanca dress that day and havent looked back since.

tself is very intimate, you have your own area and mirrors (and it's just an adorable cottage-type house). They have top-of-the-line gowns and beautiful accessories. The thing I appreciated most was that they were super patient and didn't rush me through anything. I would highly recommend La Raine's to everyone seeking out their perfect gown and a fun&enjoyable shopping experience.

he ladies at La Raine's were exceptional! They were professional, fun and a pleasure to work with. My dress was perfect on my big day. Thank you La Raine's for everything!
