Roma Sposa Atelier

my budget was not going to work with this salon but was told to look around a pick out dresses I like in the salon, with no guidance. Was repeatedly reminded that I was not allowed to try on any dresses due to my size and that I would be lucky if any designers would accept altering a dress to fit me. Was a very uncomfortable appointment and I wish I did not go. Would have been better with advance notice of fit and price ranges, to level set expectations.

w visits there were AMAZING! I loved working with Luma and the rest of the staff was extremely friendly but after spending $10,000 between dress and jewelry I almost felt like they didn't care anymore after the sale was made. I had to go there several times for alterations and EVERY TIME I waited from 30 minutes to an hour. The seamstress was always rushed and I go to pick up my dress and was told I didn't need to try it on again and that the bustle was self explanatory. THANK GOD one of the workers there wanted me to try it on because the alternations were terrible and bustle was not done correctly. The receptionist was extremely rude and was acting like it was OUR fault we needed to schedule another fitting and that they were all busy and not able to get me in when it was THEIR issue with alterations. I literally wanted to cry but remained calm while in the store. I ended up leaving the dress again and having to come back a week before my wedding to try it on again it was still not perfect but at that point I was over it and decided it is what it is. They did end up crediting my alterations but I still wanted to share this feedback. I later called back in because I was interested in possibly shortening my dress to wear at our anniversary but NO ONE ever even called me back. So sad that this is the kind of service given on such a special occasion but they don't care because they know they are a one time shop for most people. My dress was stunning and it is not that at all it was all the customer service. If that associate wouldn't have had me try the dress on again I would have put it on on my wedding day and wouldn't have been able to bustle or even WALK!

through the process (we had to alter the dress very significantly and she was amazing throughout). The owner, the other associates, and the seamstresses are all incredible and really care about making you look and feel beautiful. My wedding was this past weekend in Aspen, CO and so many people told me how much they loved the dress and how they had never seen anything like it before. I highly recommend Roma Sposa!

very ME. However, things took a terrible turn when I went in to try the dress on 8 months later, in April 2017. There was a misunderstanding of my dress, and I wasn't under the impression that I bought a sample dress. In August, I was told to come back in 8 months for my first fitting, so I was under the impression that I needed to wait for my dress to come in. In April, I tried on a dress that had holes, snags, and stains all over it, which the dress I purchased did NOT have. I asked very politely to speak with a manager to sort out my concerns, and when she came to speak with me, she treated me like a dog. She placed a piece of paper on the desk in front of me, pointed at a signature, and said, "Is that your signature? Because it's in black and white that you knew you were buying a sample dress..." I was not only embarrassed for my misunderstanding (which I apologized), but I was completely appalled at how condescending and rude she was. She accused me of treating her and her staff like they didn't know what they were doing, and continued to tell me "You're young, so you don't know any better." (I mean, I'm old enough to get married and afford a $6,000 wedding dress... so, that was COMPLETELY uncalled for.) Even though I apologized over and over for not remembering I signed the document, I explained to her that I was confused as to why the dress I purchased was not in my possession for 8 months, and it looked very used... She didn't offer an apology to me, but she admitted that the sales consultant was at fault for not forcing me to take a sample dress home after I purchased it (since it's an obligation for them to keep a sample dress there if the building burns down, they cannot replace it with another sample). Long story short, the showroom and dresses are magnificent and beautiful, but the customer service in a situation such as mine was awful. I have never been treated so poorly, especially after making such a special and EXPENSIVE purchase. If you're looking for a couture gown, you should try a different shop in Birmingham that carries the same designers.

orable experience. My mom and sister found their dresses at their evening store as well and can say the same... so as you can imagine we spent a lot of time there between our three dresses, wedding day and even bridal shower accessories. Roma Sposa was the first store we went to out of all the boutiques and Yes the dress was love at first sight but the staff and one-on-one feel/no pressure of Roma Sposa was easy to love as well. From ordering the dress, alterations to accessories...they were very helpful, patient, paid attention to detail and had much understanding as if it were their own wedding...We soon felt like family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the dress of my dreams an experience we'll forever cherish and that much more special.

E. It was actually the first dress I tried on period. And on top of that, it was completely opposite of what I envisioned wearing. I am wearing a beautiful Galia Lahav dress and I couldn't thank Luma and the ladies at Roma Sposa enough. Best feeling in the world! I can't wait to wear my dress!

rack for 40% off. They did an amazing job with alterations and even accommodated me with a single alteration since I lived so far away (3.5 hours north.) In addition to the bridal boutique they own a separate shop next door which specializes in bridesmaid/eveningwear dresses and jewelry.

y a notch above the rest. The only thing is, you get what you pay for, and the cost is high. I would still highly recommend this place for the dress. They also have a sample sale once or twice a year, which can help cut down on costs. I would also recommend alterations elsewhere because the quote they gave me was much higher than taking it to my own trusted seamstress...key word, trusted!

e or clue of what I was looking for , she lead the way! I went with a Ines Di Santo gown and Monique Ihuillier accessories. I needed to add sleeves to my gown, but was so afraid of what the final results would look like ! But I trusted that Luma would make sure everything turned out perfect, which she did! The Gown was beautiful I could not be happier! The price you pay is MORE then worth it! Check Roma Sposa out and ask for Luma, you will not be disappointed!

Galia Lahav, had a trunk show at Roma Sposa a year before my wedding. I live in Chicago and drove 5 hours to order my gown from Roma Sposa. They are very professional and friendly, Luma, my consultant was so helpful, knowledgable and attentive. My seamstress Sieka, was AMAZING she even burned her forearms after steaming my dress. I felt like she really cared about delivering my dress perfectly. She showed my sister how to bustle my impossibly difficult dress. With only two fittings, she got my extremely long train gown altered steamed and packed for me to take back the same day. I highly recommend Roma Sposa! Also if you are from out of town and have time to spare while your dress is being altered, the town is very charming with an amazing shopping mall you cannot miss!

tful of both my and my mother's opinion. The first dress she gave me to try on was perfection, and after trying on several more I bought the very first one. It was love at first sight! I highly recommend going here for bridal wear and bridesmaid wear! Our family goes to them for every important occasion.

ey were so attentive and helpful with anything and EVERYTHING I needed. The dresses are gorgeous, and the staff is wonderful...I can't imagine why anyone would go somewhere else!!

nately there is no place that carries these high end designers.

me, that was ultimately "the dress". Cristina really listened and got a sense of exactly what I was looking for. The atmosphere of the salon was so calming for me - I always enjoyed going there. I know I am spelling her name wrong, but Sieka who did my alterations was truly the most wonderful lady I have ever met. She made my wedding dress fit me like a glove - it looked perfect on my wedding day. Thank you to Roma Sposa (especially Cristina and Sieka)for making shopping for my wedding dress such a great experience.

here else to buy a dress. I can not express enough how grateful i am for everything that they did for me. GO BUY YOUR DRESS THERE RIGHT NOW! You wont regret it! :)

they have to start clearing their floor for newer items. The same luck may happen to you! Everything, from the dress, to the workers, the seamstress, and beauty of the store itself, was wonderful. I highly recommend it because of my experience.

She helped me pick out the most amazing dress. Wearing a dress you feel good in really makes the day that much more special!
