I highly recommend Rana bridal! Rana was able to work magic in how she transformed the sample size dress in her store into my size - I think she miraculously went down by 10 sizes. Her attention to detail was truly stunning - she was able to preserve and enhance the delicate overlay design that was on my dress and made it fit perfectly to me. I truly appreciated her hard work that went into my dress. She really helped make my big day special!
Rana was absolutely amazing! I both purchased my wedding dress and had the alterations done by her, as did my mother for her MOB dress for my wedding. Rana is so kind and seriously knows her business well. All of the alterations are done by her - with her extreme attention to detail. She truly understands the structure of what can and cannot be done with each dress’s fabrics, and has true pride in the high quality and standards of her work, ensuring her clients will be comfortable and happy with the final alteration. I always loved going to my dress fittings and was sad on my last one since it would be my last time seeing Rana. I would highly recommend any bride to go to Rana!
I found Rana Bridal through Brides.com as I was browsing bridal salons in the NYC / NJ area (Rana Bridal is listed as one of the best bridal salons in NJ). From the beginning, Rana was realistic about my timeline (three months), but not discouraging. She is extremely talented and her experience clearly shows. At my first appointment, I gave her a budget and a vague idea of what I wanted, and she immediately pulled three dresses. The third dress I tried on was actually the first dress Rana picked, which at the time I thought was definitely not going to be the right fit since it wasn't something I would have picked for myself. Of course, this ended up being the dress I chose, which was a pleasant surprise in itself, but even more surprising was well within my budget. My takeaways: (1) be open-minded about different dresses; (2) Rana has a really good eye; (3) her pricing is very competitive.
Rana was meticulous throughout the alterations process. As other reviewers have mentioned, she charges a flat fee for all alterations. I had four total fittings, and during each one, she carefully measured and cut fabric to inform the further alterations she did behind-the-scenes. I actually also had a second reception dress that I asked Rana to alter for me, and I was so impressed by her attention to detail for both dresses. The dresses were both expertly tailored in a very short timeframe, and this was only possible because of Rana's talent and dedication to her craft. It truly was a wonderful experience working with Rana. She is so talented and kind, and I cannot recommend her enough.
Any questions?
I bought my dress at Rana bridal and had Rana alter my dress. I tried on dresses at Kleinfeld's and other well known stores in NYC, but the experience I had at Rana Bridal was superior. I found a dress I loved at Rana Bridal, but the dress was beyond what I could have imagined after Rana's alterations. Rana felt like family and when I moved out of state, she was incredibly accommodating around scheduling my fittings to a very short window. The alterations she did were incredible, I cannot recommend Rana enough!
Rana is amazing!!! The boutique is beautiful and had a wide selection of dresses to try. This was the only shop I visited and said yes at my first visit. Rana is great with scheduling and making sure you are the only bride to give you her undivided attention. Her alterations were incredible, she took her time, was extremely detailed, made sure I was happy and comfortable and gave her honest opinion. From selecting my dress and all of my follow up appointments, Rana was a pleasure to work with!!
Rana is amazing! She helped me to find the perfect dress on my first visit, and did an incredible job with the alterations to make sure it fit perfectly and comfortably in time for my wedding day. Her shop is beautiful and inviting, and making an appointment in advance ensures that you'll be the only one there during your visit. I was working with a slightly shortened timeline (5 months), and Rana was able to schedule all of my fittings in advance so that the alterations would be done on time, yet she never made me feel rushed, always listened to my concerns and requests, and took the time to do the most careful and thoughtful job. She is truly an expert who cares about her customers and goes above and beyond to make sure you'll have the perfect dress.
Rana Bridal was an amazing experience. As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed with open arms. It felt like family. She was honest and made everything so flawless and easy. The process to tailor my wedding dress was easy. She really took the time to make sure everything was perfect, even the smallest details. I'm so grateful she made my wedding dress a dream come true! Everyone should go to Rana Bridal for their wedding dress!
I had a great experience with Rana Bridal - using this quaint New Jersey dress boutique to try on, find, and tailor my wedding dress and veil. Rana was fantastic throughout the entire process and all of our fittings were easy to schedule and went smoothly.
I went to Rana Bridal for alterations on my wedding gown from Kleinfelds. I cannot say enough good things about Rana. She is so sweet and was so patient with alterations. My dress wound up needing a lot of work, 6 fittings with lots of lace work, and she never rushed me and always made sure I got an appointment during the time frame I needed. She charged one flat fee for all the alterations in the beginning and she really took the time to make sure my dress fit me perfectly. She even noticed in my 2nd to last fitting that the button loops on my dress were stretching, something I probably wouldn’t have noticed and switched them out for me. I highly recommend her for alterations!
A friend suggested to go to Rana Bridal after she had an amazing experience there for her wedding.
Rana Bridal was the first (and last) bridal shop that I went to. The first time I walked in the front door the owner, Rana, welcomed both my mom and I with a welcome heart. I tried on several of the shops beautiful dresses and could not believe the reasonable prices that the store had to offer. I went with the third dress that I could not get out of my mind.
Throughout the whole alterations process, Rana wanted to make sure everything fit perfect on me. She was not going to stop until I was happy with the way my dress looked on me. Other places give you only a max of 2 dress fittings, but with Rana I had 4.
Going to a small bridal store like this one made my whole experience with picking out my dress incredible. I was the only one in the store trying on my dress and was not crowded by 8 other brides. The relationship that I gained with Rana was truly amazing.
Stop looking and go to Rana Bridal!
12 stars for Rana!!! This place is a little slice of heaven. I walked in after having gone to 3 bridal stores and no one had anything that i was looking for. I explained to Rana what I was looking for and she said “I have what you’re looking for” walked into the back and pulled out my dream dress. It had EVERYTHING I was looking for, every little detail like she had made it just for me. She is a little angel I tell you. So accommodating, so helpful and I even brought my bridesmaids there. She has everything you could want and more!
Rana is incredibly gifted seamstress; she has years of experience and knows how to tailor your dress to perfection. She goes out of her way (no shortcuts in her work) to be detailed and attentive. She gives great advice on wedding dress prep and style as well. Thank you Rana for making my wedding dress absolutely stunning!
I came across Rana Bridal as Rana carried 2 designer brands I had liked during my dress search. After having a negative experience at a bigger (and more famous) bridal shop, Rana Bridal was a breath of fresh air. From the first appointment to the day I picked up the dress, Rana was wonderful. She is organized, kind and an amazing seamstress. She spaced out my fitting appointments leading up to the wedding and left the guess work/stress out of it for me. Every alteration to my dress came out great. She took the time at each appointment to make sure everything was perfect and the way I envisioned it. I honestly felt like I was visiting my grandmother that is how much she seemed to care about how my dress turned out. I got so many compliments on my dress and could not have been happier. I highly recommend Rana Bridal!
Rana was very kind and I really enjoyed buying my wedding dress here. She is very friendly and she takes very good of the dress from start to finish.
Rana’s Bridal was the first bridal shop I visited and the only one I needed to visit. Rana allowed me to try on all types of dresses to get a feel on what style I liked. I didn’t feel rushed at all. It wasn’t until the last dress I tried on that I fell in love. The process was great. I ordered my dress Sept 2017 and it came in March 2018. Every time I came in for a fitting we hugged and laughed. We talked about life, it was like visiting an old friend. Rana is a professional and very knowledgeable. My dress fit perfect, even with my weight loss she was very patient with me. I would recommend any new bride to Rana. Rana had a great dress selection and a great seamstress.
Loved Rana! She was so patient and helped me find the perfect dress that worked for my body. She has a lot of beautiful dresses and gives you personal attention.
I went to a bunch of different shops and always left feeling unimpressed.. until I walked into Rana Bridal! I randomly stopped by one day because the shop is only 2 minutes away from my work. Rana was extremely patient with me and worked with me to find the perfect dress! Like others have mentioned, I ended up with a style of dress I never thought I would get (strapless trumpet). She also tailored the dress perfectly and helped me with accessories. She is the BEST!
I LOVE RANA! What a talented, knowledgeable, sweet woman. Rana Bridal was the first and only salon that I walked into to find my wedding gown. I wanted a low back dress that at the time she didn't have any of. I started to feel a little discouraged, but explained to Rana what I wanted and what I liked. She pulled a bunch of dresses and as I tried them on, offered suggestions on how we could alter them to become my PERFECT gown. Every time I brought my mom, mother in law, or family in, they all loved Rana as well. She is so experienced and really puts you at ease. I trusted her to make my dress perfect and she surely did!!!
I had the best experience with Rana. She was recommended to me by a friend after I was having trouble finding the perfect wedding dress. Her boutique has a ton of beautiful options, and after narrowing it down to 2, I chose the best one. I was one of those annoying people that wanted a lot of changes done to my dress. Rana was super patient and detailed the entire time. She was honest with her opinions and suggested different solutions when necessary. On the day of my very last fitting, she made a couple last minute adjustments because she wanted it to fit perfectly. She made the entire experience pleasurable instead of a torturous task. My mom and mother in law both got their dresses there as well not only because of her great selection, but also because of her sweet personality. She is not overly salesy or aggressive, just shares the facts. Rana goes above and beyond to make your dream dress. I love her and am so grateful she as part of my wedding experience. You’re the best Rana!!
Rana is truly a talented woman with unbelievable attention to detail. I have never met someone so intricate and careful as her. I felt so comfortable leaving the most important part of our wedding day in her hands. She was helpful, kind, honest, and articulate. Every time we would meet with Rana, we laughed and had a wonderful experience. Ultimately, my wedding dress was perfect. She is so talented and can make any dress look perfect. Thank you, Rana for being part of our wedding experience. You are a wonderful person. I wouldn't go anywhere else besides Rana Bridal. You will have such a perfect experience.
Rana is amazing. They have a beautiful selection of dresses but in addition to that she does custom dresses. She does everything herself which is unheard of! I got a Casablanca dress that I customized a little and needed some alterations. The alterations were perfect. I got so many complements not only on the dress but on the fit of the dress. She is also so nice and patient. I would go back to Rana a million times. Thank you!!
As we all know, bride's dress is one of the most part of the wedding day. I felt like a bride in my dress and everyone has complimented about the dress.
Rana is an amazing lady who runs this cute little shop. She is very personable and honest. She does a kick ass job with alterations. Price is reasonable. Before you visit David's Bridal, I suggest you visit this shop to see her collections. She has amazing collections and friendly prices!
I had the most wonderful experience shopping for my wedding gown at Rana Bridal. This was my first stop and Rana let me try on every kind of dress to help find what style would work for me. I found a dress that I loved but how could I say "yes" so easily (its a tough decision). I left and went to other bridal salons but ended up back at Rana to get the very first dress Rana pulled (girls, sometimes it is that easy). Rana has so many dresses at all different price points and she doesn't pressure you to try something on that is over your budget. She does all the alterations, so you aren't dealing with having to find a tailor or dealing with a lot of people in the process. Every fitting was a fun and relaxed experience. Rana does a great job of booking her appointments so you get her attention throughout yours. She also has a lovely assistant that helps out on the weekends. Rana also has bridesmaid and flower girl dresses. I ended up borrowing dresses for my flower girls but Rana did the alterations. One dress needed to be taken down a whole size for my 2 year old niece. Rana was so patient and kind when I took my niece in for a fitting. It was one of the most memorable experiences of wedding planning. Oh, and Rana saved the day when it came to my veil that I took to the cleaners to get pressed and they rusted the comb. Rana tried to get the stain out but then just appeared with some tulle and thread and covered the stain. I highly recommend this boutique bridal salon that is filled with dresses that gives you that personal touch.
i can't say enough about how awesome rana is. i mean, really truly, awesome. she and her daughter were so incredibly helpful and found me the perfect dress for my wedding. rana spends a lot of time at each fitting making sure the dress is JUST right as well. she is a great seamstress; her needlework is amazing! she's also really got a great eye for style, and makes excellent recommendations. she also helped my mother find the perfect dress as well, at the last minute no less! she worked tirelessly and under pressure the week before my wedding to get my mom's dress perfect; even adding sleeves customized to my mother's liking. and she did this all with a smile on her face. she made the dress buying/fitting completely stress-free; imagine that ladies!
I went to a few different bridal stores before finding Rana's. I wanted a boat neck dress but many salons didn't carry anything that matched my vision. I finally found Augusta Jones through some research online- only Rana's and Kleinfeld carries this label in this area. I decided to try Rana's and I am glad I did! Rana listened to what I wanted and immediately pulled some Augusta Jones dresses for me. I had found my dress! They were having a trunk sale in a few days but Rana honored the trunk sale price! Rana does all her own alterations and she is a perfectionist! She was unhappy with how the one seam looked and asked if I would be ok coming back for an additional fitting. Of course, I said yes! My dress truly looked like it was made for me when Rana was done! I ended up being my accessories here as well because she carries such beautiful items. My hair clip was my something blue and was different than anything I had seen. My sisters also ordered their bridesmaids dresses here because Rana was so great. If you are looking for your dress, please try Rana's. I am so happy I found her salon; I was always confident my dress would be amazing and it was!
Rana was absolutely incredible! She went above and beyond to make my wedding dress fit perfectly. I am so happy I decided to get my dress there. She is an amazing seamstress and I would recommend her to anyone!
Beautiful selection of gowns.
Rana was great! The first time I went she let me take pictures, look through the racks and try on a bunch of dresses. I was never rushed. She paid attention to every detail. She defiantly went out of her way to make sure my dress was perfect, so I can have the perfect day. She was excellent and made me feel so special. I highly recommend!
Rana at Rana bridal was a pleasure to work with. I changed A LOT about my dress, and she did all of the work herself.. she made it a sweat-heart cut in the front, made it a low-cut back, and literally sewed lace around the entire length of my dress by hand.... It looked absolutely beautiful. My dress ended up kind of ripping in the back during the night, but it was most likely because I was dancing the entire night (my husband is Colombian, so I was shaking my butt the whole time!) My matre d quickly sewed the back of it where it ripped and it was fine :) I also got my bridesmaid dresses there (as well as my Mother and both my Grandmothers found theirs). It took about 4 months for the bridesmaid dresses to come in, but I guess that's expected when you're ordering for a wedding. Everyone loved the dresses and Rana was available all the time.. she was extremely flexible with what times I was able to come in.
I bought my dress from Rana Bridal and I could not have been happier! She and her daughter Sarah were so helpful. I ended up wanting to change a lot on my dress and they were both so patient. I came in for extra fittings and they were so helpful pinning the dress and coming up with ideas to turn it into the perfect dress! Her alterations were perfect!
I would highly recommend Rana!
Love my dress and the bridesmaids dresses were beautiful
I love Rana Bridal. I went to several locations to look for a dress, and was disappointed in different ways. But when I went into Rana Bridal, there were (finally) many dresses that looked good on me! I ended up finding my dream dress. Rana was always flexible, and made sure my dress was tailored perfectly to me. She also got the perfect veil for my dress, and was able to convert a brooch that had been in my family into a hair pin that looked FANTASTIC! Rana is the best!
For my wedding dress I found a designer whose dresses took my breath away, Aire Barcelona. Determined this was the designed I wanted I looked for bridal boutiques who would carry their dresses. Rana Bridal was one of a handful who had them so my sister and I made an appointment with them.
From the first moment we walked in we loved this boutique! They were so pleasant to work with and patient with me trying on dresses. Their dresses were beautifully displayed and easy to browse. It only took one trial for me to decide I found the dress of my dreams. They ordered it for me and let me know as soon as it came in. They scheduled several appointments for me to try it on as they made small adjustments to the size. Their seamstress did an amazing job taking in the waist and top, carefully working with the embellishments. It looked and fit absolutely perfect by my wedding day. We decided to get the bridesmaids dresses from them as well as they had plenty of beautiful choices.
I highly recommend them; they give you the greatest experience shopping for a dress: individual undivided attention, beautiful worked adjustments as needed, and a feeling that they care about your event and you looking perfect!
i fell in love with a dress i saw there and rana did her best to make sure it was within my budget. she also gave me a great price on alterations and did a great job with them.
I went to Rana Bridal after going to another Englewood bridal salon. I walked into the salon and all of the lights were off, they turned them on and told me "go look through the racks and let me know if there is anything that you want to try." I was so confused because my experience was that she should have at least gotten my name, some idea of what style of dress I wanted and helped me find dresses. Instead she just stood back while I grabbed dresses and held onto them. The selection was horrible. My mother picked two dresses for me to try on. The dressing room was opened for me and she said "do you need me to help you?" Are you kidding? I told her I didn't. I tried on the first dress, which was very large and she did not even think to get clips to try to give me a sense of what the dress should look like. My mother asked her about the clips and she reluctantly grabbed them and pinned them on the dress. I left immediately. I would never give business to this place. They were incredibly unprofessional and not interested in doing their jobs.
I found Rana Bridal while looking for a bridal shop in NJ that carried a Spanish designer I was interested in. Rana Bridal was one of the few shops in NJ who carries Aire Barcelona. The real challenge was that I planned to get married in early December and I began to look for a wedding dress in August. I first went to a few places where the selection was not very good and most of the dresses just looked silly on me. When I went to Rana and I told her what I wanted and when the wedding was, she was concerned about whether or not it would be possible to get the dress in time. She had me try on a dress similar to the one I wanted and I immediately realized that it didn't look good on me!
Rana then began to pull other dresses off the rack for me. The first one she showed me, I really didn't like but figured I may as well give it a try. I tried it on and it was beautiful! I am still amazed by her ability to quickly find the dress that would look best on me. I quickly decided that this was the dress for me. From there, Rana was very easy to work with. She made sure the dress would arrive in time for the wedding. The alternations were very well done and on my wedding day, people could not stop talking about the dress. Everyone thought it was perfect for me and many thought that I must have had it custom made. I never imagined that it would be possible for any dress to look that good on me!
I recently bought my wedding dress from Rana Bridal in NJ. Rana is so nice and helpful. Her prices are very reasonable compared to many of the other bridal shops in the same area. My dress was done on time and she fixed every little detail of it that needed to be fixed. She was great to work with and I would highly recommend her!
I bought my maid of honor dress here for my sister's wedding and she bought her reception dress here after that. The amount of work she had to do for both of those dresses took skill. As soon as I was engaged I knew I where I wanted to shop!
My dress had a lot of changes to the original design and she made it happen and made sure I would look great. But I must mention her patience and attention to detail. I am so happy I found my dress in her boutique - it made the experience more special and intimate.
my dress fit me like a glove. Great service
I actually found my dress at Kleinfeld's in the city, and the only place nearby that carried the designer (Augusta Jones) was Rana Bridal. When I saw the dress there, it had extra pearl beading on it that made it perfect. Rana also brought down the price to match the one we originally saw and it included the alterations (which was an amazing deal).
She fitted the dress perfectly for the wedding and she also provides cleaning and preservation services as well. Great service!
Ive been to about 5 bridal salons and this one was one of my favorites. It was very intimate and Rana was very sweet and personable. She had a wonderful and gorgeous selection of bridal gowns within the budget. She was not pushy in any way possible. I loved her and her salon. I would highly recommend any bride to visit her.
Rana is so helpful, and she helped me pick out the perfect dress!
they have pretty dresses but it was way over our budget and did not end up buying a dress from there. For a small bridal boutique their prices was way to high for my liking.
I found Rana bridal when I was looking for my dream wedding dress. The service was wonderful and the price was great! I would highly recommend Rana Bridal.
I first visited Rana Bridal when my sister and I were searching for bridesmaids dresses for her wedding. We were thoroughly pleased with the wonderful selection Rana had in stock, and the entire bridal party purchased beautiful dresses from Rana for my sister's special day.
When it came time to look for my own wedding dress, I was certain that I wanted to go back to Rana's, since I had noticed she also carried beautiful and diverse bridal gowns in her store. I was a little shy about trying on wedding dresses, especially strapless gowns, but the wedding consultant I worked with at Rana was AMAZING. She pulled fantastic dresses for me, and the second dress I tried on was the one!!! I would never have pulled the dress I wound up wearing off the rack, but it turned out to be the PERFECT gown for my body. It's absolutely true that the sales consultant sometimes knows what will look great on a client's body, and the consultant at Rana was exactly right in my case.
What I loved about trying on dresses at Rana was also that the sales staff were in no way pushy. Even though I knew the second dress I tried on was the one, I visited a few more bridal stores in the area to be sure. At other stores, I received service that I would classify as rude, since the sales consultant ignored my request to pull certain dresses and just tried to put me in the most expensive gown possible. At Rana's, that will definitely not be your experience.
Rana's gowns are gorgeous, reasonably priced, and everyone from the consultants to Rana herself are a pleasure to work with! When I worked with Rana on my gown's fittings, she couldn't have been more attentive and really listened when I said I had a concern, and made sure my concern was taken care of. I know every bride looks beautiful on her wedding day, but I truly felt beautiful, and I wouldn't have felt as great as I did without the help of Rana Bridal. Rana herself made me and also my mom feel great every time we came in to her story, and I can't recommend her more highly.
Rana has many different designers in her shop that are different, classy and reasonable. She is very accommodating to what you are looking for.
