Lovely Bride

d trying dresses. I was looking for something a little out of the box and she got a sense of what I wanted right away. She was not afraid to throw out ideas to me but understood when I wasn't feeling a particular style as much as well. She took tons of photos and knew to get a video to show the movement of the dress that I liked the best. The selection of dresses there was also wonderful, a very nice collection of modern, bohemian, and a touch of traditional. Their price point is also excellent. Every dress I tried on felt well made and made with quality material. Overall, I can't recommend Lovely Bride enough.

ay during the week, nighttime and weekends are really crowded and busy. It’s a much a better experience during the day!

ch after, haha, she was just such a gem. I feel so fortunate to have had the experience I did! Would 1,000% recommend to anyone!

the next one and that was 'the one.' I worked with two fantastic ladies who wanted nothing more than to find something that made me feel like "me" and confident, beautiful, and elegant - I ended up purchasing Goldie by Dear Hart, a dress that I saw on the hanger and said - no way, but then put on and LOVED! Can't tell you how many compliments I got on my classicly cut, but super unique dress. I never would have even tried this dress if the Lovely Bride consultant I worked with hadn't recommended, I "just try it." Highly recommend Lovely Bride - their products are gorgeous and their staff and service are unbeatable!

an article of clothing you wish you could find, we all know you don’t find it. My first trip to Lovely NYC was my 6th stop on the journey to find my dress, and I met my wonderful consultant, Nicole. I went in thinking Made With Love would be my designer, and tried on a ton of GORGEOUS MWL gowns... two of which I left thinking about, but ultimately didn’t have that ‘this is the one’ feeling about. Fast forward 5 appointments later... continuing to find dresses I loved but that didn’t feel like ‘the one’, I made another appointment at Lovely to explore other designers. I chose to go back for a second time because out of all the 10 other consultants I worked with along the way, I didn’t find any who made me feel as at ease and supported through the process as Nicole did. I’m happy to say that at my second visit to Lovely, and the last of my ELEVEN dress shopping trips, I found ‘the dress’. The dress I have been imagining in my head, convinced that I won’t find anywhere, had just arrived at the shop and was hanging in front of me. Nicole’s patience, support, bubbly/ encouraging personality, and genuine desire to help me find my dream dress was unmatched. If you are looking for a bridal salon and consultant who genuinely care about you finding your perfect dress, make an appointment at Lovely immediately! Thank you Lovely Bride and Nicole, I cannot wait to wear my dress down the aisle and feel like the best version of myself I could have ever dreamed of!

e -- she went so far as to dig through the shop archives to find a past season dress that really was spot on in terms of what I was looking for -- it really was such a tough decision between that dress and the one I ultimately chose, which is something I would have NEVER considered -- and it was perfect!!! Hannah you are INCREDIBLE!

e staff were super helpful, I must have tried on 20 or more dresses in a 2-hour period. The staff definitely got a sense for what I liked and would help try to pick dresses that made the most sense. I was super happy with my choice. The dress arrived a little sooner than expected which was great and I was able to pick it up, try it on again and ask questions about alterations. If you don’t want to look like a cupcake on your wedding day, go here!!

ent above and beyond to help my vision come to life! I ended up with a Louvienne dress - a brand I had never heard of! If you are looking for a chill, fun, romantic boutique - this is your place. Selection is excellent and service is fantastic. It was the most relaxed I felt at any bridal salon I visited in the city.

her. The stores are intimate and have a great selection and excellent attendants. I was able to try on a variety of sizes and styles. I highly recommend Lovely Bride!

are/couldn't be bothered. She barely helped me into my dress and though I had corresponded over email with the shop about the accessories I wanted to try on (veils, capes, etc.) and was told they would be available she claimed most of them were not and didn't even double check. It was very clear that she wanted to rush the appointment. I had to ask "can I please try this veil here" on or "this hair piece"? She offered no suggestions and often wandered off. In the end I decided to order a veil from my designer that was not available in store, but was told could be ordered. I was quoted a price $100 more expensive than the designer's price on her website and was told she would have to email to see it was even available in a few days and would get back to me. I had serious doubts she would remember to so I went home and ordered the veil myself online! Finally, returning to the dressing room early I asked to try on a dress for my welcome party (that again, I confirmed just days prior was available and in my accessories appointment notes) and was told I only have 5 minutes left in my appointment (sounds about the right time a girl needs to try it on, right?). No surprise at all, but Kelsey said it wasn't available. I pushed back and she claimed that maybe the dress was no longer available in store. LIES. My family and I were able to laugh about the absurdity of the experience after, but it was definitely disappointing that picking up my dress and having an accessories appointment, which should have been a no-stress joyous occasion was a real downer. Management, please coach your employees better and remember that a customer is important even after a sale is made! There was a missed opportunity to make more sales and in general, this left a bad, final impression of the shop. Brides, take note!

at they could not have made a mistake. The $1200 alteration fee on the bodice alone was either because my daughter had lost weight or that Boston based tailor, AllFit, gouged us. The fact is that they unnecessarily upsized the bodice, charging us $200 to do so. They carefully reminded us that we should check the fine print--that fit issues were NOT their responsibility. Life is just too short to do business with a company that doesn't stand behind its services. Take your business somewhere else.

vintage, eclectic/indie, and refined dresses and many are right in the sweet spot of medium-priced or affordable. It really takes the stuffiness out of the dress purchasing experience with the fun/modern décor, appointment process, and the stylists! Lovely even accommodated a price match that I had found (discounted) at another bridal store, but I had such a good experience with Lovely that I wanted to purchase there!! The stylist we had the day of (Erica) was SO cool and she was honestly key to finding the one– I really liked her! She made my group feel so at ease, helped me try on probably 25 dresses, recommended dresses, and took pictures of both me and my friends with me. I came in with ideas about the dresses I had seen, but you could probably have gone in blind and have a different (also wonderful) experience altogether. Erica’s approach was really perfect for me – she was just laid back but the perfect amount of an advisor in the search : ) The process of getting an appointment is pretty easy – you book online and also indicate brands you are into, though book early if you want a big party to go with you (mine was small and I was trying on dresses in summer time so it wasn’t much of an issue). For reference, I first visited in June, 2018 and picked up my dress in November, 2018. The dress was ready in less than the quoted amount of time. There were only two things I wish were different: 1). That they would allow you to pay for your dress in parts –initial payment and total payment. This is what the website said but I was told I had to pay for the entire dress altogether. It was fine because I had the money, but if I hadn’t this would have been cost prohibitive, 2). That you can have the same stylist check you out/help you when you make a follow up appointment and pick up your dress. I would have loved to tell Erica that this was the one and close the loop like that!

erested in helping me find a dress I loved. Unlike other salespeople at different stores I went to she was not pushy and made sure I stayed within my budget. I was looking for a dress that felt modern and elegant (and not boho or sweet) and she helped me find it. Really enjoyed the experience!

riving! My wedding was then only two weeks away, and needing substantial alterations—despite my advising to take it down two sizes, they didn’t listen. Luckily I found an amazing alterations specialist who was spectacular and kind. If you need a seamstress, ellen’s Couture is the place to go. She is professional.

h more intimate. Thank you Lovely Bride!

times. I cannot thank Lovely enough for helping me say yes to the dress!

ll pushy. I tried on about 4 dresses, she listened attentively to what I liked about each one or didn’t like & helped me narrow my choices down. There was one dress I loved & I tried it on more than once. She helped me with the whole look & ultimately I knew it was the one. It was a great experience. I’m very excited for my upcoming wedding. I know I made the right decision going to Lovely Bride!

for what look I was going for, and showed me options that I loved, and a few outside of what I would have picked- but was happy I tried anyways! At the end of my first appointment, I had found my dress. Emily answered all of our questions on timing and tailoring, had a second person also take my measurements for accuracy. Could not be happier with my experience there!

ith Love’s Stevie gown as well as the MWL detachable tulle skirt and matching veil. I felt angelic. The whole experience was everything I could have asked for. 100% recommend Lovely Bride in TriBeCa if you’re looking for something a little off beat, edgy, whimsy, or boho!

omething I wouldn’t have thought to choose and it was absolutely perfect. It was a great experience. Unfortunately when I went to pick up my dress the girl helping wasn’t as nice to work with. I felt like I was being rushed and pushed out. But overall I would recommend this store for brides.

my expectations. I am very petite and every other local salon I tried I was swimming in dresses, but once I started trying on dresses at Lovely I ended up buying just the 3rd dress I tried on! My dress was a DREAM, was handmade by Made with Love in Australia, and fit like a glove. I am still getting so many compliments from guests and other people who have seen my wedding pictures on how unique and beautiful it was-- which is exactly the impression I wanted to make. Thank you Lovely Bride and the girls at Lovely Bride NYC for making me feel like a princess!!

y knowledgeable and professional in getting me in dresses that matched my vision. The space was so conducive to the sentimental moment of putting on “the” dress and veil. I’ll remember this trip forever!

p leaving the salon with the floor sample of the dress that I wanted, and could not be happier. The salon itself is beautiful and welcoming, with a cute decor and a clean bathroom :) Each bride to be gets a private section of the salon, with its own changing area/mirrors, which was an added bonus. The variety of dresses that Lovely carries is wide (simple/modern to very “Bridal” and more traditional), and all of them are so tasteful. No matter what your taste, I think it’s hard not to find a dress you liked here. Abi, the consultant who worked with us, was such a blessing. She was super professional and knowledgeable, with a no-BS attitude, and we loved our session with her. Given how pressed for time I am, she was very clear in what could and couldn’t be done in this timeframe. Because the sample that I was looking at was “gently used”, she got the manager, Erica, involved very quickly and I ended up with an amazing discount on the dress. Erica was also really friendly, professional, and accommodating. Thank you to Abi, Erica, and all of the staff at Lovely for the wonderful experience from start to finish. I highly recommend making an appointment if you’re still searching for that special wedding dress.

to everything I was saying and narrowed it down from there! I tried on 5 dresses and I made my decision that day! I just recently picked up my dress and I could not be happier with how smooth the whole process went!

rfect dress.

selection of dresses, each dressing room was private and very spacious, and the back of the store had natural light shining in with bigger mirrors to get an even better feel of how you look in the dresses. The Stylist who worked with me was Hannah B. I cannot express how amazing she is – like truly amazing. She knew her stuff, gave honest input, was very professional and her personality was great! I went in with a vision of what I thought I wanted but was also very open minded to trying on new styles. I liked how she didn’t just listen to what I THOUGHT I liked/wanted to try on, but she also recommended a few styles/dresses she thought would look good on me. After just one dress, I knew it was the one – but again I was open minded to trying on more dresses to be sure. With each dress, Hannah gave her honest opinion – which I so appreciated. It was nice to have an outside voice besides the people I brought with me. After trying on a bunch of dresses, I put back on the first dress I had tried and we moved into the larger space in the back where there was natural light beaming through the large windows, a big mirror and accessories. I had told her that I didn’t think I wanted a veil but was open to try some on. After trying a few on, she did express that she liked the veil (so did my mom), but once I told her that I pictured my hair being curled and half pinned back with baby breaths wrapped in, she told me to 100% go that route. She didn’t try to push me to buy a veil from them and supported/confirmed my vision of what I wanted, saying it was the perfect hair combination with the dress I was wearing if I decided to go with it. I appreciated that as well. Hannah called that the first dress I put on – which I must say was absolutely nothing like what I went in thinking I would pick – was going to be THE dress. And guess what? She was right!!! I even had another appointment at a different place after Lovely that I decided to still go to, but ended up coming right back after that one ended (which she said would happen! Her exact words were “see you at 4:30 pm when you come back for THE dress, because I know that’s exactly what that one is.” No matter how gorgeous and perfect the dress is that I got, I couldn’t have done it without Hannah B. I can honestly say that she was what made my wedding dress shopping experience beyond perfect. Thank you so much Hannah, there aren’t enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation!

as my dress (a beautiful Alexandra Grecco gown). The space is also inviting and fun and doesn't have any sort of wedding factory feeling, which I really appreciated. The one slight downside is that they don't do alterations on site, which meant trekking across the city with my dress, but the place they recommended did an amazing job and overall, the selection Lovely Bride had made this minor inconvenience worth it.

l.

y slipping them through my arms because everything was too small. At Lovely everything I wanted to try on fit me and Hannah is a bananas wizard at pinning. she made me feel gorgeous and really helped me feel good about the trying on experience. I couldn't recommend her and the shop more.

nailed it! The space is beautiful and they have a good variety of dresses and prices.

archesa Notte dress that I never would have picked myself. Your party gets its own little sitting room. And the prices are as advertised - no surprises. Just a very nice experience.

ad total success. I got the dress (the first one Kelsey picked out for me, though of course I tried on many others), and a crown and jacket that just match it perfectly. The gowns are really beautiful, and the excellence of my stylist was remarkable. This is where I will send my friends.

e their role serious and make you feel like a bride. My stylist Hannah was incredible and ended up finding a few dresses for me that I would've never thought to try...one being the one I ended up buying. Cannot recommend this store enough. You feel special and heard, which is incredibly important in the planning process!

are all awesome, and I was able to actually look at all the dresses and pull the ones I wanted to try on. My consultant was AMAZING! Super knowledgeable and helpful, and not pushy at all. I ended up getting my dress here :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

pieces. However, the staff at LovelyBride got my mom to relax and open up to the idea – soon enough when I put on a Limor Rosen two-piece stunner, my mother cried with joy. We both knew it was the one. It was an amazing experience from start-to-finish, and I bought my dream dress then and there. I highly recommend going to LovelyBride for a lovely dress experience.

bit nervous for my appointment, but Debra was able to ease all my worries and pull dresses that were exactly what I was looking for. At the start of the appointment, she asked so many thoughtful questions to understand my vision for my wedding (not just about the dress, but about the venue, the guests, etc). The dresses Debra pulled were all so wonderful, I wish I could have gotten all of them! The dress I ended up getting was the second one I tried on (Debra’s pick) and I could not be happier. She really nailed what I wanted and I am SO excited to wear it on my big day! Lovely Bride came highly recommended to me and I would absolutely recommend it to every bride! The experience was so personal and so special (not to mention private, I was completely unaware of anyone else in the salon even though it was a busy weekend). I will forever be thankful for Debra and Lovely Bride for making my last dress shopping excursion an outstanding one!

down, Debra my stylist greeted me with such a smile. She asked me questions to really get to know my style and as we were talking it was almost like she could finish my sentences! Debra even kept my mom at bay who can be very overbearing and dramatic. The actual boutique is to die for really from the accessories to the furniture. Debra attention to detail is something I appreciate as she callout adjustment I didn’t even know I wanted! Thank you Debra! I said yassssss to the dress! Thank you to the team at lovely as well!

gowns ready for me to try on upon arrival, including one I pinned quite a bit :). After bringing me about 6-7 dresses to try on, she then let me roam the floor and pick a few off the rack myself. BEST experience and so glad I was able to say yes to the dress in my first session!! Not to mention, the shop is decorated super cute. More of a relaxed, boutiquey, boho feel. Definitely a hidden gem. I'd recommend over the big "chain" bridal shops. Thanks for a no-stress, successful trip!

so memorable.

ne. She was low key and low pressure while being friendly and helpful. She found my dress for me and I couldn't be happier. All of the dresses I tried on were very high quality and reasonably priced compared to other stores out there. The boutique itself is lovely and there was a great space for my two friends who went with me.

ound two dresses that I absolutely loved and narrowed it down to one of them. My stylist Gabrielle was incredible. She took her time to listen to me and get to know my style and made my experience perfect. Thank you Gabrielle, I would not have been able to find my perfect dress without you.

ever once brought be out of the cubicle size room to look at dresses in the large spacious mirror which I didn't even know existed until I saw a bride there on my way out! She didn't pull anything I asked for and didn't seem to care that I wasn't liking most dresses. I was about an hour and 20 minutes into my hour and half appointment when the attendant started rushing me along. I wanted to try on the two dresses I liked a second time before I left but she insisted that time was up and I needed to leave. I understand there is a time limit but there is a respectful and professional way to talk to people!

ointments, Lovely Bride had everything I was looking for in my bohemian dreams!

vate space. Other shops felt like a bride factory where you were rushed in and out. Lovely Bride was so special. My stylist Madeline was amazing and helped me find the perfect dress for my wedding day. I am so glad I went to Lovely Bride. If you can only make one appointment, make sure it's with Lovely Bride!!

it your group of 3-5 people. And they each have their own large mirror so you have complete privacy. Nkeoma was my stylist and she was amazing. She introduced herself to me and my group, asked questions about my fiance, our wedding and the vibe we were going for. I showed her some photos I had saved and we looked through the racks of dresses while I pointed out what I liked. There wasn't an overload of dresses on the racks, which I appreciated, making it less intimidating. I tried on 5 or 6 gowns and narrowed down to 3 that I liked. Although, I did not end up ordering a dress at Lovely Bride, it was my favorite bridal boutique experience of the 3 locations I ended up visiting. Nkeoma was warm, welcoming, PATIENT (very important) and an overall pleasure to work with. She asked the right questions to help me figure out what I wanted out of my dress. I recommend Lovely Bride to all brides for their special dress.

and patient. Amazing experience. Definitely a must!

would ever wear and I immediately started questioning if I even knew how to describe what I wanted. I hit the jackpot when I found The Lovely Bride! Instead of an overwhelming amount of dresses, where it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, I knew when I walked through The Lovely Bride that I would get married in ANY of their beautiful, unique dresses! The experience was just that - lovely. The boutique itself is so cute I just wanted to style my living room like it! And of course, I found my dream dress. I almost don’t want to tell people about this store because I feel like it’s my little hidden gem of a store but that would be wrong

others that told me that only a custom dress could fit a 40G chest. After researching brands and deciding that Studio Levana fit my vibe best, I called the company, and it turns out that Lovely Bride is the only shop on the East Coast that stocks their full line of dresses! When I arrived for my (super chill, not at all pushy) appointment, not only did they have dresses IN MY ACTUAL SIZE to try on (none of that "try this 8 or try this 30, we have nothing in between" foolishness at this studio!), I ended up falling in love with a completely different plus size line that they happened to have in stock in my size as well! I ended up with the perfect breezy dress for an outdoor apple orchard wedding. Highly, highly recommend this studio if you are (or have been made to think you are) a hard-to-fit bride.

ses, but nothing compared to how I felt in that dress. I returned and purchased and absolutely loved wearing it on my wedding day this past weekend. Our stylist, Debra, was a total delight to work with and I recommend her to anyone who wants to have a great experience dress shopping.

understanding. Unlike other bridal boutiques where you feel a ton of pressure to buy on the spot and where they bring you pieces that are thousands of dollars outside your budget, the Lovely Bride staff was so down-to-earth and friendly, not pushy at all. They made me and my guests feel very comfortable, and I absolutely loved my experience with them.

th it. I got so many compliments on my dress who said they loved how unique it was and not like typical dresses. If you are looking for great stylists and great selection of more unique dresses, go to Lovely Bride.

y comfortable, and helped me find the dress of my dreams. So happy I decided to make the trip into NYC to find my dress! Thank you lovely bride !

at all!! I had gone to Sarah seven that same weekend and the sales girl was so pushy and obvious it was uncomfortable. Thank you lovely bride for helping me say yes to my dress and thank you Kelsey!!!

d with my vision. I'm from the Syracuse area and none of the shops around here compare to this store!

ain the next day to ultimately buy my dress. Annie was down to earth, knew the inventory and my style, made me feel immediately comfortable, and helped me find the dress of my dreams. So happy I decided to make the trip into NYC to find my dress!

es. Said yes to the dress at my second appointment a couple weeks ago and couldn't be happier!

t online to our first appointment and finally buying my dress was flawless. The toughest part was choosing between two gorgeous dresses. Wish I could have them both! I definitely recommend LovelyBride.

lling to fix the issue with me, leaving me with a dress that I will never wear. Waste of money, and HUGE stressor leading up to my wedding. Extremely disappointed.

staff was amazing especially my stylist Ryan! I had sent a link to my pinterest page and he was already honed in on my dress vibe and could read what i liked off the bat. I am still in the early stages of looking but petty certain i found the winner here!

fell in love with it! My appointment started right on time and the girl helping me quickly dove into my likes, dislikes, wedding details, and budget to make lots of suggestions - along with the dresses I picked out myself from the racks. I was super surprised to have fallen in love with the first dress I tried on - which she suggested - a full-beaded, form-fitting Theia gown. After being pretty underwhelmed with the selection and experience in the other boutiques, I called Lovely Bride about a week later to order that first gown! It came in earlier than predicted and I was thrilled to get that task out of the way :) I received tons of compliments on the dress and it even fit despite the fact that I wound up being 5 months pregnant at my wedding. Could not recommend Lovely Bride, their staff or their selection any more highly!

underwhelmed by the planning process because it’s hard and stressful! I walked in feeling totally out of my element but Jessie made me feel so comfortable that now I’m dreaming of which dresss to pick and even got to school today and showed all the other teachers the dresses I tried on :) GET TO LOVELY NYC NOW NOW NOW!

ho was AMAZING. She was patient and definitely heard what my style was like, helped work within my budget, and was a great assistant for getting dresses on and off!! I went with 3 other people who loved the experience as well. Would absolutely recommend this for wedding dress shopping! Prices were very fair, environment was dreamy, staff was amazing. No complaints!

rated. I was dead set on having long sleeves & I felt as if the stylists at my previous appointments were not listening. I was frustrated by the time my Lovely Bride appointment came around. I may have said to my mom in the waiting area “all I want is (insert some curses) long sleeves.” Nkeoma calmed me immediately. She was the first stylist to encourage me to select dresses I liked. My Leanna Marschall dress was the only dress I picked out myself. And I got my sleeves. Nkeoma, I could cry thinking back on that day! Thank you for making my appointment so special. In January 2018, I returned to pickup the dress & select a veil. Nina, helped me during this visit. She was amazing & encouraged me to try on several different styles. My Aleksa Karina Maija veil was perfect. And the most cost effective. I really appreciated Nina showing me veils in all price ranges not just the most expensive. Nina, thank you for that special visit on a cold January night. Lovely Bride NYC don’t stop what you’re doing it’s perfect. You’ve created an amazing atmosphere. In your store, it’s about being excited for the bride next to you- not fighting over mirror space. Thank you for making my family members & I feel so so special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart💛 Shannon Quinn (Todd)

out my fiancé, my engagement, wedding, etc. She listened to the style I was looking for and helped me pick my wedding dress! The pricing of the gowns in my opinion is very reasonable.

I realized that I didn’t want my dress to standout but I wanted to stand out from it. Plus the shops’ decor is amazing !!!!!

nd chose a couple of amazing dresses to try on including the one I chose for the big day! I highly recommend this boutique when you are looking for a dress!

red, and form-fitting), I had an absolutely wonderful time doing it! My stylist Hannah was amazing - her energy is so chill and supportive and she is super knowledgeable. It is a big deal that everyone here seems to really understand design, construction, and patterns because it means you can really understand how the dress is going to look on you after it is tailored to you. This is not the same at other bridal shops I went to where I couldn't even tell how the dress looked because it was so poorly fit/pinned on my body. I can't recommend Lovely enough!

one of the seamstresses they recommended and had a horrible experience. But, I was pleased up until that point.

th having traveled from CT, my stylist made our time completely worth while. She treated me like a princess from the get go and we (my mom and I) would have bought a $10,000 dress from her JUST due to her personality and guidance! I ended up leaving with my perfect dress and have told everyone I know to make the trip to Tribeca so they too can be a Lovely Bride! Thank you for making my wedding dress dreams come true! - Taylor
