My experience at Nicole Bridal was truly so special. My mom took me here as soon as I got engaged, just as her and her mom did. For context, my mom also found her perfect dress here about 40 years ago.
This was not my first time here, I was lucky to dress shop with my sister to find her perfect gown too..also at Nicole Bridal… I always knew this would be my one and only destination to find exactly what I was looking for. As soon as I got engaged, my mom and I booked an appointment. My family received the warmest welcome back, which really speaks volumes about the culture of this bridal store priding itself in not only customer service, but also relationships built with the clientele. I find this is very unique today in a world of doing everything online and often limited face to face contact.
Not only did I need a perfect dress for me, but for my destination wedding in Positano. Not a small task given I was looking for something very specific - elegant, but not too formal; sophisticated and classy, yet also the right “look” for a wedding with its reception right off the beach. AND the task of ensuring it was church appropriate.
Without hesitation, Nicole Bridal’s team knew exactly what I envisioned from the start. Frankly, they had the right vision for me before even I did. Once my Italian Andrea Sedici dress was secured, the process was made easy. I was given custom alteration options, all of which were executed exactly to my taste and liking. Though this is notoriously a stressful process, the team handled me and my requests with utmost professionalism and care. My end result was more than I could have ever wanted, and I am so thankful to the team who helped me navigate through this process, making it as stress free as possible. I truly feel as though customer satisfaction is their top priority, I felt this very much as a customer this time around at the store. And I know my mom 40 years ago, and sister more recently, felt the same.
It look one bridal shop to find my absolute dream dress for my dream Italian wedding. Thank you Nicole Bridal for seeing my vision, and for your care and compassion through every step to get to the big day.
I can't say enough in praise of Maria and Nicole at Nicole Bridal. From the moment I was first in contact with them, they treated me like family, so much so that Maria and her husband became guests at my wedding! I was looking for a very special gown but also a very special experience to go with it, and Nicole Bridal delivered on both counts. We commuted specifically for this shop, and it became an integral and meaningful part of my wedding preparations. In fact, we really miss our visits to Philly to see Maria and Nicole, who always welcomed us with open arms! They were so patient, knowledgeable, positive, supportive, and energetic, and I instinctively understood that they genuinely cared about me and my wedding and were not interested in just trying to make a sale. The entire experience at Nicole Bridal was so set apart from every other bridal shop. I chose my dress on my first visit there. They have a selection that is unique and truly one-of-a-kind, and much more so than any other bridal shop that claims the same, they truly do have something for everyone - the off-the-beaten-path bride like myself looking for something a bit more unusual as well as the more traditional bride looking for something exquisitely classic. I know this because even after I chose my dress, Maria and Nicole always encouraged me to look around and get style ideas so that I could make my perfectly ideal look come to life. I also chose my headpiece there, and because of their amazing taste, I was able to look exactly the way I always dreamed I would. I've received so many compliments on everything that came from Nicole Bridal, and I do not hesitate in encouraging any and all brides to make this shop their first and last destination.
My experience at Nicole Bridal exceeded my expectations. When I went to my first bridal appointment, I had a certain dress in mind and wasn't able to find the right dress for me. Maria and Nicole were so kind, professional, and personable throughout the entire process. After my first appointment, Maria did research for me on dresses she could order in for me to try. She was able to find the perfect dress for me. Right before my appointment, she told me that she the dress was stuck in transit and may not arrive in time. Her father drove to pick up my dress just to get it to me in time. Maria was able to understand my vision so perfectly and it was the perfect dress. I also requested a certain type of sleeve and Maria and Nicole made custom sleeves for my dress. Throughout the entire process, Maria and Nicole were so wonderful to work with. Their alterations are incredible and their attention to detail is unmatched. I felt beautiful and comfortable on my wedding day and it would not have been possible without Maria and Nicole. I received so many compliments on my wedding dress and how special it is. I cannot recommend Nicole Bridal enough!
What can I even say! My experience at Nicole's was absolutely FABULOUS! From my first try on, Maria was so kind and made feel so comfortable. I was 45lbs heavier when trying on my dress than when I wore it on my wedding day, and as I lost weight, Nicole continued to help me through the process of alterations. As we neared my last few fittings, she listened to me and gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for. I had expressed my interest in a certain kind of bustle that wasn't necessarily the best fit for my dress and magically, Nicole made it happen so elegantly! She also added cups and cinched me in to perfection two days before the wedding when I felt like I needed one more fitting!
I could not be more happy or thankful to work with the amazing team at Nicole's. They took my dress in over two sizes in a period of over a year and if felt like it was painted on by the wedding day! Truly a custom experience. Thank you so much for your dedication, support and attention!!
Maria and Nicole have been really great throughout the whole dress buying process. I looked through the dresses and selected a few, and Maria also pulled a few dresses she thought I would like. I immediately fell in love with a Claire Pettibone dress she had picked out. Nicole altered my dress to perfection and even added a little bracelet under my train so I can hold it on my wrist. I’m so happy with my dress and definitely recommend Nicole Bridal!
Let me just say that finding my dream wedding dress was the LEAST stressful part of planning my wedding!!! The team at Nicole's are STUNNINGLY AMAZING!!! They had so many dresses to choose from, made me feel extremely comfortable trying them on, listened to what I liked and didn't like about the first few I tried on and then Maria went and found some more for me to try on based on my feedback. Then when I found THE ONE...I felt like a supermodel. Every fitting was stress free, the changes I wanted or needed to be made were done seamlessly (pun intended) and on the day of my wedding, my dress fit like a glove and I felt like the most beautiful bride!!! I wish I could get married 100 times just so I can go back to Nicole's for another experience!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING WONDERFUL!!!!
Before coming to Nicole, I had reached out asking about their Julie Vino collection months in advance, as I had my eye on a few of this designer's pieces after spending far too much time on social media perusing dresses. Maria was quick to respond and incredibly helpful, and we had an appointment scheduled for me to take a look during one of the trunk shows. Coming from Boston, it was a trek to get to Nicole's, and my friends/family were incredulous why I was going out of town for my dress, especially with all the choices in my own city. The unmatched service, kindness, and seamstress skills at Nicole Bridal & Formal were why - I had tried 100 dresses (I pretty much counted) from Boston, New York City, LA, Seattle, and Philly before I arrived at Nicole, almost exhausted and frustrated after an experience with an impatient stylist at another store who told me that I was too picky and that I would never find my dream dress. Marina greeted me with a smile and knew what I was looking for - I cried when they laced me up into my dress (despite being someone who thought it was silly that brides cry when they found the dress). I wanted a few changes to the design and after a crazed 4AM email I sent asking about a change to the customization plan, Nicole and her team created the absolute perfect dress for me with the most whimsical sleeves that set it apart from all the other dresses I had tried. It fit perfectly - in both size and style. I could not have asked for anything better. Thank you Nicole, Maria, and Marina for working with me and for your excellent service and craftsmanship. The bridal world is so lucky to have you!
The staff at Nicole Bridal was extremely welcoming and professional. During the process of selecting a wedding dress, they made great recommendations and made me feel truly special. After selecting my dress, I had multiple fittings leading up to wedding to make sure the dress fit just right and that I felt beautiful on the big day. I can not say enough about the service and selection at Nicole Bridal. I would recommend to anyone looking for their wedding dress!
The staff at Nicole's is personal & on their GAME! truly understood the assignment ! These girls help me pic the perfect dress & where so accommodating with fittings & alterations!
Absolutely amazing!! The level of service provided by the team at Nicole Bridal was truly exceptional. They created such a relaxing and welcoming environment & made what could’ve been a nerve-racking experience completely stress-free. And the gowns they have in stock are just incredible!! My dress exceeded anything I could've ever imagined & Maria and Nicole went out of their way to make sure it was customized and tailored so that I felt completely at-ease and beautiful on my wedding day. The love and skill they have for what they do really shows & they go above and beyond for their clients. Maria even customized a jean jacket with extra lace appliques from my dress & my mom found her dress here as well!! I really couldn’t have asked for a better shopping & fitting experience.
Our 2nd daughter was just married and this our 2nd time purchasing dresses at Nicole's Bridal! What an amazing experience!! Unlike many other Bridal stores Nicole's Bridal doesn't pressure you into making a quick decision but instead we got the Bridal Dress shopping experience my daughter always dreamed of having. We were warmly greeted when we arrived, had unlimited time with an experienced sales staff. My daughter wasn't sure exactly what she wanted and after trying on a few dresses she was thrilled with the accommodations Nicole's Bridal made for her dream dress. With the designer my daughter chose she was able to take the style of one dress and match it with another fabric to make the one of a kind dress of her dreams and it had pockets! With only two fittings and alterations completed on premises her dress fit like a dream. The veil was exactly as we had ordered and matched her dress perfectly. Her bridesmaids were also purchased and altered at Nicole's Bridal and again everyone was thrilled with the outcome. I would recommend Nicole's Bridal to anyone and with two more daughters to be married we will be back!!
We wanted to love this shop! We fell in love with the atmosphere, the owner Nicole and workers. We bought a Italian designer dress 11 months before the wedding-our one big splurge for the wedding. I've been assured by local seamstress's that our alterations were basic. 6 fittings later & 2 weeks before the wedding our dress was hacked into a mere memory of what my daughter envisioned. Nicole never wrote anything down, so every time we came in for a fitting, barely anything was ever completed. I started leaving the same detailed lists with Maria, as a double check, along with photos and even that only helped keep them on track minimally. They promised us a certain veil. We showed up to see a rectangular shaped piece of lace sewn onto the bottom of a curved veil. They did take it off, only to replace it with another piece of lace that was also NOT what was promised, even though I showed them a photo previously. Maria offered to try and find the promised lace( though Nicole told us they did not have it any more) but by this time we were so disillusioned with their service I told them to please sew it on so that we were sure to have something in time. The neck was lowered, only to find it was higher on one side during the next fitting. Each new fitting visit we arrived to find that the owner had never completed what we requested the week before, even though that initial list never changed. The worst part was a few weeks before the wedding. During a previous visit Nicole pinned a beautiful criss-cross bustle in place. My daughter and I saw it and said it would work perfectly! I relayed what Nicole did to Maria hoping that between the 2 of them we would see the desired alteration the next week. The following week-nothing was done & we were told by Nicole that the dress could NOT be bustled and the train had to be cut off! We reminded her that she had it pinned previously but she insisted it could not be done and said our only option was to cut off the train! The once immaculate designer Italian lace dress would now become only a portion of what my daughter had envisioned 2 weeks before her wedding. I called Maria the next day to ask how the dress would now be hemmed to avoid more problems. Maria assured me she would work with Nicole to make sure that it wouldn't be sewn straight across and agreed it would look bad with hem tape. Fast forward to the next visit only to see that beautiful lace bottom hemmed straight across the bottom with a horrible white hem tape!
At least 3 times we were promised help with the chest area & we had to find a solution ourselves. From the beginning they told us they would help with the see thru areas. Nicole once again told us nothing could be done to fix a small area, 2 weeks prior to the wedding! Maria kindly jumped in and said 2 small pieces of lace could be sewn in to cover the area. Nicole then told us that she didn't have time to do it since she had 2 other dresses to do! Mind you-it was 2 weeks before the wedding and we had been in for at least 5 other fittings where much did not get done! We even rescheduled one of our appointments so they could work on a different wedding party one week. Then when WE needed a few extra moments, Nicole wanted us to come back for a 7th time! What started out being the most meaningful part of my daughters wedding preparation ended up being the most angst producing, negative memory that my daughter will never forget. Do not trust this shop with intricate alterations!
Even though I go by Nikki, my full name is Nicole. When I was a little kid, we’d walk by Nicole Bridal all the time, and occasionally, I would turn to my mom, point at the shop, and say, “Mommy, I’m gonna get my wedding dress there one day.” Little did I know just how prescient I would be.
Fast forward about a decade later: I’m engaged and looking for my wedding day dress. I’m short and curvy with a large chest. I want a dress that’s timeless, comfortable, and fits my more challenging figure. Before Nicole Bridal, I visited 12 (!!) different wedding dress shops, and had a really hard time finding a dress that wasn’t super low cut in the front or backless (I wanted to wear a bra!), that was actually comfortable (I didn’t want my arms rubbing against harsh beading or lace materials), and something that wasn’t too skintight (that made me look larger) or too poofy (that made me look like a walking loofa). I was feeling pretty defeated by the time I visited Nicole Bridal. Fortunately, they knew what to show me, and I found my dream dress there—and importantly, one that fit within the right price point. I tried on a lot of dresses that day. They were super patient, listened, and really came to understand what I wanted. Leading up to the wedding, they did a great job of making sure I was comfortable in my dress at each fitting, and everyone was an absolute pleasure to work with (shout out to Maria!!).
Bottom line: Nicole Bridal has a great selection, lovely staff, and knows what they’re doing. I highly, highly recommend making an appointment there!
Maria at Nicole's Bridal is such a delight to work with! She was so kind and extremely helpful! She made the dress process a breeze! My dress that I purchased from this salon is breath taking. I received so many compliments. It helps me fulfill the "sexy but classy" look I was going for! I choose Nicole's because of the images posted in the reviews. I was looking for a very modern gown. The modern gowns at this salon were limited when I went, so I truly thought I would be leaving without saying "yes to the dress." Maria brought me a gown that as different from what I thought I would want and told me to just try it on. Well, it ended up being the one! I am not sure how she knew what I needed but she did a great job pulling that dress for me! The dress was so simple, so elegant yet still sexy! It was a perfect dress! And the alterations were exactly what I needed!
Nicole Bridal was the only place I went to try on wedding dresses, and I would recommend them to everyone! My appointment was their last of the day and Maria was so patient and let me take my time in picking out the perfect dress for my wedding. I went in looking for a plain dress, no lace or beading, but Maria pulled some dresses for me and I ended up picking one she chose, which was a fully beaded Enaura gown. This just goes to show how amazing they are at what they do!!
I had my alterations done by Nicole and it was absolutely perfect, my dress fit like a glove. At my last fitting I needed a strap tightened a bit and Nicole had it fixed in minutes! She’s amazing!
When you go to Nicole Bridal you’re not just another bride, they truly care about you and your day and make you feel like family while you’re there!
I was blown away by the customer service & gown selection at Nicole's Bridal. The customer reviews I had looked up prior to visiting the shop were spot on. Maria was my go to person for everything. She was amazing! She was always available and highly responsive through all of my text messages and calls. She was super helpful in finding the most beautiful gown at the price point I was looking for and a veil that matched the lace in the gown perfectly! Maria was genuinely interested in the wedding details and offered free advice on where to get a travel bag for the gown since ours was a destination wedding and even exchanged the bag they had in-house with the one i bought when the size wasn't right! The seamstress and owner were equally attentive and ensured my gown was a perfect fit for me. It was well worth the hour or more drive for me to the shop. Maria was sincere in providing feedback on how I looked each time, what jewelry matched with the gown, and the veils that would match perfectly with the gown. I loved the amazing experience I had with Maria, Nicole and everyone at Nicole's bridal. Thank you for making me look and feel so beautiful and special! You made me hit the goal of wow'ing my husband at our 1st look! :)
I cannot recommend Nicole Bridal enough!!!! They made my wedding dress shopping experience amazing! Dress shopping with Maria was so fun and an experience I’ll always remember! Nicole is so sweet and made every fitting special. I am absolutely in love with my dress and still receiving compliments weeks later! It wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Nicole Bridal who allowed me to custom design my dream dress!! I wish I could do it all again! 10/10 for Nicole Bridal 💗
As the bride, I absolutely loved my dress from Nicole's. If you're looking for a unique, one-of-a-kind dress, Nicole's is just the spot. They have such an amazing curated selection of unique dresses that cannot be found at other shops in the Philly area. Their boutique vibe was a breath of fresh air to work with during wedding planning. Maria, Marina, and Nicole are a dream team! Tailoring my dress was a bit of a process due to its layers and fabric, but it came out perfect in the end and made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day.
Maria and Nicole provided exceptional service from the very beginning. My mom works in the building where they have their shop and we had been eyeing up dresses since I got engaged. We had an amazing appointment in which Maria was very intentional in matching the style I had in mind. I said "yes" to a Claire Pettibone with a matching cathedral vail. I am from the Jenkintown area, but live and was planning a wedding in the Florida Keys. They were very accommodating in ensuring the dress customizations were completed in a timeframe to match my available travel schedule. Nicole's craft is evident and the final fit was perfect. If you are looking for boutique design and professional attention, you can't go wrong with Nicole :)
The entire team at Nicole Bridal was phenomenal. They helped me with a custom dress, clearly communicated during the entire process, and Nicole’s alterations were phenomenal. I’d recommend them to anyone. I have received endless compliments on my dress and it is because of the team at Nicole’s that it was so perfect. They also designed a beautiful veil and clip for my hair.
I had the best experience at Nicole Bridal from start to finish! They helped me find the perfect dress within my budget and were so kind for each fitting I had after. My alterations were absolutely perfect and they even made the most beautiful long gloves out of fabric from my dress. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!
This family-run business is so kind and welcoming, They were helpful, informative, organized, and did not make me feel pressured. They clearly know what they are doing. It was a wonderful experience. I LOVED my dress and they made me feel like one of their own. It was a true pleasure.
Visiting Nicole’s Bridal for my wedding dress shopping and eventual fitting appointments was once of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process. Nicole and Marina made us feel like family every time we would come to the shop. They are inviting, kind, and so so talented! Their shop has a wide variety of dress options, veils, and accessories. Now that my wedding is over I will miss going to see them at the shop! Highly recommend Nicole’s!
The nicest, warmest, and professional people! Nicole and Marina know what they are doing. They were so patient with me. I am very particular and they listed and worked with me. Nicole is also an amazing seamstress and fit my dress perfectly. I would highly recommend visiting them for your bridal needs.
When you are a little girl...dream about the day that you are going to get your wedding dress. You think about the style you want, where you are going to go, who is going to be there, etc. When the day actually comes... boy is it exciting AND overwhelming. Well, Nicole Bridal is BEYOND the best place to start and finish your search and it is hands down the best place ever. Nicole and Marina are the sweetest women ever. On my day, Marina helped me pick through a variety of different dresses. She gave me her honest opinion, which I needed and let me know that I could change up the dresses with different variations that they offered. How cool is that? Then, Nicole walked me through each of the dress fittings where she made everything feel perfect and comfortable. She even made the bustle so accommodating with handles so that I could carry my dress! Whatever I wanted, she was able to provide to me! Truly, these two women are amazing and the dresses at the store are drop dead gorgeous. The experience was amazing and the love and support that I felt from them was unbelievable. They will truly remain in my life as we got to know them so well after the multiple dress fittings! Thank you so much :)
The absolute best place hands down. Especially during COVID when things are weird and upside down, Marina made me feel so comfortable and my entire “bride tribe” feel welcome. The dresses she has are so unique and high quality. But the actual customer service was second to none. This was my first place I went to for dress shopping and I cancelled my appointments after I went here. I’m so in love with my dress and the salon that I couldn’t help but say yes to the dress ASAP. I would recommend this salon to ANY bride! ❤️
Nicole and Marina were amazing to work with. They were warm, loving, and so helpful. They truly felt like part of the family. I could not have felt more beautiful on my wedding day. They even made me a mask to match my dress. I would 1 million times over recommend Nicole Bridal.
I had such a great experience at Nicole Bridal. Nicole and Marina were fantastic to work with. I was so nervous about the process of finding a dress. This was the first shop I went to and found my dress! My sister called from the dressing room to cancel other appointments I had for that day. I loved every inch of my dress. It was so unique and so different from anything I had seen online or in magazines. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. A few weeks after the wedding, I received a hand written card from Marina & Nicole. They are truly the sweetest people and you can tell they love what they do. They will make you feel like family and make sure you feel fantastic on your wedding day!
Nicole Bridal & Formal is a great place to go when looking for a wedding dress! They have such a big selection and Marina and Nicole are so easy to work with. My Enaura dress was delayed due to the pandemic, but Marina went above and beyond to coordinate getting my dress to me in time and finding a highly reputable seamstress to do the alterations (we do not live locally.) I am so grateful to Marina for always being available to help answer any questions and could not have asked a better experience! They are amazing!
Marina and Nicole are AMAZING! I cannot recommend Nicole’s Bridal enough. I went to 3 other dress shops before coming to Nicole’s and the experience I had with them does not even compare to anywhere else! Marina helped me choose the most beautiful gown and I could not have been happier. I had to postpone my original wedding date and they were so sweet and accommodating during this crazy time. I am going to miss seeing them and recommend all brides to purchase the dress of their dreams here because I am sure they have it!
I do not have enough words to explain how amazing of an experience this was. I came in with no idea of what I wanted and just a budget. There were a lot of no’s, but a lot of yes’s too. My family and I had a private suite where all the gowns were brought to us so I didn’t even have to leave. No dress was brought in that was not in my budget and the dresses were well explained to me on what customizations were available to fit my exact wants. I felt so comfortable, they were amazing there, and they had soooo many dresses for us to go through and pick from. I loved my experience and was able to look at, try on, and Say Yes to My Dress all in 1 appointment.
Nicole Bridal and Formal is the best formal boutique I have ever visited. The whole family makes you feel like their own! All of their gowns are high quality within an affordable price range. They made my wedding dress dream come true! If you are looking for high quality, respectable, and an exceptional family, check out Nicole’s!
Im so sad I can't get married again so I can go through the process of wedding dress shopping with Nicole and Marina all over again. I can't stress enough how easy they made the process for me. I was able to find my DREAM dress within my budget and I even was able to put my own personal touch on it. Nicole is a rockstar with all of the alterations, I know with the lace she had to do it by hand and it fit like it was made for me. Marina is so welcoming and really wants to make sure every bride feels like a princess. Both of them go above and beyond for each and every one of their brides.
Thank you Nicole and Marina!
Choosing Nicole Bridal was the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. The entire team is thoughtful, welcoming, knowledgeable, flexible, responsive, and an overall delight to work with. They immediately understood my sense of style and knew exactly which designer would fit the bill. They also provided expert alterations, which really streamlined the process. Never once did I worry about how my dress would turn out. I absolutely loved the final product and am already recommending Nicole Bridal to my recently engaged friends.
Where do I even begin?! A month before my wedding, I had my final dress fitting at another bridal shop, and did not like my dress at all. ( I had a horrible experience and was pressured into buying my first dress). I started to get really worried, and so sad that I would not find another dress on time with only 4 weeks until my wedding. I started to look up bridal shops that could possibly help me and I came across Nicole Bridal & Formal.
I don't even know what to say... Marina was absolutely amazing. I emailed her expressing my concerns in the middle of the night, and just a few hours later I heard back from Marina. Just through an email I could tell that I was in good hands. Later on that day I showed up, and Marina had dresses ready in a room for me to try on. I had no idea which one to pick because I LOVED EVERY SINGLE ONE!! I wish I had known about this bridal shop from day one!! Marina picked out a dress for me that I would have never thought would look good on me!! Well, I fell in love with it and said "yes to the dress." This time, I knew in my heart it was the one and felt great in it. Marina and her mother are so amazing. Thank you so much for making me feel like family, and finding the most amazing dress for my wedding day. If you are looking for a dress future brides, this is the place to go. You will NOT regret it, I promise!!
The best bridal shop on the planet- for Mother of the Bride Dress and for the Bride. Felt like being home. The experience, the care, top quality on all counts combined with experience, wisdom and good humor.
Regardless of where you live- worth the travel to Nicole's.

Marina and Nicole were absolutely phenomenal! Attentive, kind, and welcoming. The tailoring they do is impeccable. Truly a pleasure. And their selection of gowns is fantastic. All so elegant and unique.
This is a very friendly and family oriented business. Nicole, her husband, and daughter Marina were so sweet and polite. I never had an issue scheduling appointments for my fittings and they were so hospitable every time I came in. I found the perfect Julie Vino dress here which was a 2 piece dress with a body suit and skirt. Since I like to sew and wanted to make my own reception skirt, Nicole was fantastic with explaining to me how to make the alterations to what I had created and really took the time to make sure that not only the dress I bought, but also the skirt I created myself both fit perfect! Nicole reminded me a lot of my grandmother and I felt like she treated me the same way she would have treated her own grandchild, which is very hard to find in businesses these days. Other bridal shops I went to made me feel like I was just a number or the next sale. If you want a shop that will truly care about you and your happiness when finding a dress, I would definitely recommend Nicole Bridal & Formal. My dad must have told me a dozen times how happy he was that I bought my dress from them (really the dress that he bought from them) and that he was so happy to support their small business.
Working with Nicole and Marina to select my wedding dress was a dream! We ended up there after the shop was one of the few to carry a designer I was looking for and they were extremely helpful throughout my decision process. I enjoyed the personal feel vs. shopping at the larger bridal shops in NYC. We even ran into some snags with sizing but they did everything they could to alter and make the dress work for me, and it was perfect on the day of - I did not want to take it off! Highly recommend Nicole Bridal!
Marina and Nicole are absolutely incredible. We had the best experience working with them and I was so lucky to have found them! I was able to find my dream wedding dress and they helped make it even more beautiful!
I loved my wedding dress and every step of the experience at Nicole Bridal. I received so many compliments on my dress…literally everyone I show a photo to cannot get over how perfect it was for me, and on my wedding day people were complimenting the dress all night. Needless to say, I felt amazing in it and cannot thank Marina and Nicole enough for such a wonderful experience. It meant the world to get my dress at Nicole Bridal after our great experience with my sister 3 years earlier. I can not recommend them enough!
I highly recommend Nicole Bridal and Formal- they have an amazing staff ! I felt so special at each appointment because they are attentive and nice. I told them what I was looking for in a gown and I them choose some options- they really knew what they were doing because they picked out the most gorgeous and flattering Augusta Jones dress. I looked beautiful on my wedding day and I owe it to their incredible service.
My dress was beautiful!! The who process of searching for a dress and the fittings till the end was stress free
I had the BEST experience shopping and purchasing my wedding dress here. From beginning to end, it was the best customer service and everything went perfectly! It is a family owned business where they each care so much about the quality of their work and their customers. The designer of my dress isn’t carried by other stores in the area, so I knew my dress would be special and unique. They had such beautiful options! Angela helped me try dresses on my first time there and I did not feel pressured at all and felt completely respected. We ended up going back and getting my dress after taking time to think about it. The alterations were so easy and stress free and Nicole certainly knows what she is doing. Overall,I trusted them with my money and with their opinions and input. The store is also very neat and clean and a comfortable environment. I am so thankful I found them!!
As I said to Marina the day after my wedding, if I could get married 1000 times (to the same guy!) I would go to Nicole Bridal every time for my dress! Marina and her Mom just know women's bodies and what will look good on each individual woman so they are able to aid you in the search. Then once you have found the dress their attention to detail and the alterations are masterful. I cannot recommend Nicole Bridal enough - it was a pleasure from beginning to end!!
Marina and her mom were the biggest pleasure to work with at Nicole Bridal, from the first moment I walked into the store until I was able to pick up my dress. They were extremely understanding of my budget, completely understood the style I was looking for and made it fit me like a glove! Could not be happier with the selection they had to to offer and the dress I ultimately chose. I went to quite a few bridal shops before coming here and would recommend Nicole Bridal to anyone and everyone as #1!
I cannot even begin to say how appreciative I am of everything that Marina and Nicole at Nicole Bridal did for me, my family, and my bridesmaids leading up to my wedding. As someone who has struggled with body image for a long time, I was so worried that I would not be able to find a dress that would make me feel beautiful. Marina and Nicole made me feel comfortable the moment I walked into the shop and immediately erased any doubts that I had. Marina knew exactly which dresses would fit my body type, as well as our venue, and I ended up going with one of her original choices. I had the most perfect day in the most perfect gown thanks to Nicole Bridal!
Nicole's was the second bridal shop I visited in search for my dream wedding dress. I could tell from the moment I walked in that they put their clients first and treated everyone as family. My dream dress was the last one I tried on, it was as if the best was saved for last! Nicole did an amazing job with all of the adjustments that were needed and even packed the dress perfectly for its travel to Cape Cod for our special day! Throughout my fittings, my family, bridal party, and myself always felt like we were priority and had that one-on-one attention unlike other shops in the area. Nicole's will forever hold a special place in my heart!
I had such a positive experience with Nicole Bridal! After falling in love with an Enaura gown online, I called 4 other bridal salons looking for it in my size. After 2 other bridal salons insisted that Enaura does not make my size, I called Nicole Bridal and they seemed dumb founded that I would be turned away! I can't tell you how happy I was I could try on the dress of my dreams. I went on black Friday with a lot of my family and friends and they were able to accommodate everyone! After figuring out the nitty gritty, the next year with fittings was a breeze. Marina was extremely attentive through emails and phone calls! Nicole is an amazing seamstress! She made my bustle so easy for my bridesmaids to figure out! I can't say enough positive things- they truly are pro's and I'm so happy that I found them and was able to work with them! My wedding day was a dream and it was definitely with the help and support from Nicole and Marina!
I want to thank Nicole and Marina for making me look gorgeous and breath taking on my wedding day. Nicole and her team were awesome to work with during my entire wedding planning and were fast communicators. The boutique has very classy designer wedding dresses; I would definitely recommend Nicole Bridal to family and friends.
Beautiful and wonderful boutique!! Everyone was sooo accommodating. Marina was so helpful. Always answering questions immediately, always emailing back, and was always happy to help make the process easy, fun and enjoyable. If I were to get married again, I would definitely use this boutique again ;) thank you, marina and staff! You made the whole process incredible and my dress was BEAUTIFUL!!!! I also loved how personal This place was. It felt like you were really supporting this business, unlike going to a huge corporation!! Having that personal feeling and family feel from this place is what made the whole process so much easier. Thank you thank you to everyone there and to Marina!!
The first thing that indicated my experience at Nicole Bridal would be an amazing one, was the service. I did not feel rushed or pressured in any way to make a decision quickly or hastily. Nicole & Marina were so attentive to my tastes while adding in some personal experience for what might suit my personality best.
Their diversified selection ensures that you will definitely find your perfect dress!! I was relieved to have had the opportunity to try on different styles to know what really suited my body type.
Overall, I had an incredible experience from first trials to fittings. They were attentive to each and every modifications I wanted to make and offered multiple solutions for portions of the dress I wasn't comfortable in. They made me feel confident and beautiful!!
If I had to refer anyone to buy a wedding dress, it would most definitely be to Nicole Bridal!!
Nicole and Marina are the absolute best! I got my wedding dress from Nicole Bridal and I cannot be happier with my decision! First of all, their selection is perfection, and I customized my dream wedding dress. I had several fittings and after each one, I left knowing I went to the right place. Nicole is an expert when it comes to altering wedding dresses and she made mine fit like a glove (in the best way). It is absolutely stunning and perfect in every way. Nicole and Marina and the rest of the staff always made me and my family feel like family, and that is truly something you cannot find at any other bridal boutique. What sets Nicole Bridal apart from other bridal boutiques is the fact that they treat you so warmly and they truly do everything they can to assure that you are so extremely happy with your wedding dress. I cannot be happier with my decision to get my wedding dress here, I recommend them to everyone! Nicole Bridal is simply the best!
Nicole is an absolute gem! The whole process from choosing my wedding gown and veil to Nicole's customized alterations was seamless. I especially valued how sensitive Nichole was to my recent port-a-catheter placement that she worked to creatively cover with extra lace from my gown. Thank you Marina and Nicole! I highly recommend!
Nicole Bridal was a dream! I drove almost 3.5 hours to try on my "dream dress" and ended up hating the way it looked on me, but Marina took me through their beautiful collection and in less than an hour, I had the perfect vintage lace gown for my big day. Everyone continued to compliment the gorgeous dress we chose, and the fit was spectacular.
Nicole Bridal had the best customer service we experienced in our bridal search, from purchase to pick up. My big day would have been very different had we never met. I cannot say enough about the fit, the inventory, the customer service, and the personal touches they put on your 'dress moment.' Choose Nicole Bridal for your big day needs–from veil to dress to accessories, you won't be sorry.
When I first got engaged my mom and I popped into Nicole’s just to glance at the beautiful dresses in the window. We were immediately greeted by Marina who had an appointment that canceled and she allowed me to take that time and try on dresses. From that day forward Nicole and Marina treated my mom and I like family - as we were popping in nearly weekly so I could look at my perfect dress that Marina helped me to find on that first day we stopped in. I can’t say enough kind words about Marina and Nicole. They both were wonderful from day one and I truly felt like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day and I owe so much thanks and gratitude to them for making the experience more than I could have dreamed of! My mom and I will cherish our memories with them and of my wedding day forever.
I absolutely loved my experience at Nicole Bridal!! Their dress selection was so unique and beautiful unlike any bridal store in the area! I'll never forget what Marina said to me when I first tried on my dress. I loved my dress as soon as I tried it on, but wanted to add certain touches to make it my own and she responded yes to everything I asked, but then eventually just responded, "Your wish is our command!" haha Josephine and Marina were so wonderful and accommodating with everything! Felt like we were family by the end! If you want an amazing bridal gown with the nicest people to work with you, this is your place!
I discovered this bridal shop when I lived in the area and continued to go even after my hour and a half move. From the first day I went I fell in love with the staff and they felt like a family throughout the journey to my wedding and even after. Marina and Nicole do such a wonderful job and make you feel right at home during each visit. They made me feel so beautiful in my dream dress and altered it to perfection. I trusted them to hem my dress correctly because they only sell the best so they will do the best. I not only fell in love with my dress but the family that sold it to me as well.
Words cannot describe how wonderful my experience at Nicole Bridal was. From the very first day I walked in there, Marina and Nicole treated me like family, they made me feel special. They had the dress of my dreams that I had found online, and they never pressured me to try on other gowns. They were all about providing an exceptional customer experience, and they made my mother and sister feel so welcome. It was such a pleasure to go there for each fitting, and I would recommend Nicole Bridal to absolutely anyone who wants an incredible bridal experience. They are the best!
Nicole Bridal and Formal did an amazing job at helping me find and make my dress perfect. After having a crazy day starting at another shop, they took me in calmed me down, and help me pick all the dresses I would like and then some. After finding my dress that day, they made it hassle-free, but also so personal ever time I went. They seemed like family! I felt so cared for, and loved while getting my dress!
I would recommend this to all!
