Svetlana Bridal Couture

able to bring my dream retro wedding dress to reality!

ther person to finish trying on the dress you want to try on. Being on the plus size side trying on dresses was not difficult because of the various sizes available. Natalia was very welcoming and patient with dealing with us. I love the fact that she referred to me as her bride, she was patient and took in every little detail about what I liked and didn’t like. With each dress I tried on that wasn’t the right one the next was always closer and closer because of how much she paid attention to what I liked and didn’t. I was very comfortable and felt very welcome at svetlana. My dress is breath taking in every way. When I went to pick up my dress designed and cut to fit me the fit was perfect, so perfect I don’t have to worry about any alterations whatsoever. I really enjoyed my time at svetlana and it was definitely worth driving from another state to get to svetlana where I found my dream dress. I couldn’t thank you enough Natalia and Svetlana.

ited to get to wear it on my wedding day. I never in a million years thought I would get a custom dress, and a stress free experience. The dress fit perfectly and was even better than I expected. If you are in search of a dress do yourself a favor and come here.

ass produced -- and they carry a variety of sample sizes, so there really is a chance you'll find one (of course they also customize dresses, so if you have more time than I did, you should totally do that!!). Natalia was so super kind and patient with me, and she even opened up the store on a Sunday evening to come in after I explained my dress emergency on the phone. I would HIGHLY recommend this bridal shop. I am so happy with my dress and with my overall experience.

needed. My sister also got her dress from Svetlana Bridal Couture and we absolutely love her dress as well! I would highly recommend Svetlana Bridal Couture!

time!!! I could not have found a more perfect combination of amazing product, great quality, gorgeous design and best possible customer service!! Highly recommended😃

here needed to be some color in it). After being ghosted by two separate designers on Etsy, my time frame for finding a wedding dress was narrowing—fortunately, though, my best friend recommended the place that she went for her wedding dress, which was Svetlana Bridal! I went into the shop with my friend and found “the dress” that very same day; I probably tried on about 7 or 8 dresses, and everyone agreed on the one dress that worked best for me. On top of that, Natalia was extremely helpful and knowledgeable through the whole process. She scheduled the appointment so my friend and I were the only people in the shop with her, so the experience felt very personalized and not at all stressful. The biggest plus was that Natalia/Svetlana Bridal had a lot of flexibility with customizing the dress to my vision. After falling in love with one of the sample dresses, I asked if the dress could be modified to include some layers of light blue fabric as well as a red 3D rose on the waist, to which Natalia excitedly replied “yes”! I also requested an extension to the train, which was no problem for Svetlana Bridal to accomplish. Considering the fact that this dress needed to be fitted to me and designed in less than 5 months, I was thrilled that Natalia was so accommodating! I would say that the only hiccup in the process was that I did not see a photo of the final dress before it was shipped to the store (when we had agreed to go back and forth with photos until final approval), so I was slightly anxious about the final result once it came in. Fortunately, though, the Svetlana Bridal crew knew exactly what they were doing, and everything was PERFECT and exactly what I was hoping for! The dress was so unique and fit me like a glove, and the incorporation of light blue fabrics, the red rose, and a red lace up corset ribbon in the back made my dress the talk of the wedding! Thank you, Natalia and the Svetlana Bridal crew, for making me feel like an absolute queen on my wedding day!

DREAM wedding dress. I am so thankful for her. My only regret through this whole process was not going to Svetlana when I originally started looking for dresses. She has the most stunning gowns. Thank you Natalia!!!

dress. I love my dress! It was such a magically experience. Natalia was wonderful to deal with. She cares and puts her heart and sole into helping you be a beautifully bride. I would highly recommend buying your wedding dress at this shop!

ing picking out a veil. The dress does take 10-12 months to be put together and she gave us multiple updates throughout the process via email and phone. I loved the final product we put together. They even extended my train free of charge so the veil could lay perfectly on top and it could then be bustled during the reception. I had a destination wedding and the garment bag provided was easy to place into a carry on suitcase or be a carry on item itself. I would recommend the shop to anyone who would like a custom wedding dress.

one." When I walked into Svetlana Bridal Couture with my mom and sisters, Natalia locked the boutique door behind us, giving me her full attention for the appointment. It made me feel so special as any bride should during this experience! Natalia customized my dress to be exactly what I wanted. It's perfect! I highly recommend working with her. Thanks again, Natalia!

appointment so we had her full attention. I fell in love with the top of a dress but did not like the skirt. Natalia listened intently to why I did not like the skirt and asked what I would like it to be. She then took a dress off the mannequin and held the skirt at my waist, exactly what I wanted. She assured me that the border on the bottom of the skirt would be altered to compliment the top. I also wanted some black crystals on the top and she said that was no problem. I was a little apprehensive since we were marrying two different dresses and it is hard to imagine what the final dress will look like. I had NO need to worry! When the dress came it fit me perfectly, no alterations were needed, and it was everything I imagined and more! For anyone reading this review who thinks this semi-custom dress was extremely expensive, nope, the price was very reasonable. Thank you so much Natalia for a wonderful, stress-free experience! I will share pictures after the big day!

nice, honest, and patient person. The dresses at her shop were beautiful that it became difficult to pick a dress, so we tried on many dresses, but there was one dress that my mom kept on eyeing the whole time, and once she tried it on everyone knew it was the best for her. Thanks to Natalie we found a dress, because my mom and I knew nothing about dresses, such as fabric and shape, so she told us what she knew making this a learning experience for my mom and I. When we finally got the dress everything was perfect, the size, shape, and the train, that once we left the store my mom couldn’t wait for her wedding. I highly recommend this place, and I hope anyone who is finding a dress, finds something for them at this shop.

up being THE dress. Prior to walking into Svetlana Bridal I couldn't imagine that feeling of finding the ONE dress that makes you feel like you shine, like you are special, like no one else in the world - but that feeling exists and I had it at this shop. We worked together to tailor specifics like a modified length and adding short sleeves. The final result was a completely unique dress tailored just for me, my size, my style - and honestly! I was speechless! I have Svetlana Bridal to thank for capturing my dream, creating a beautiful dress just for me, and making the whole process so effortless and pleasant. Highly recommend!

ibe it was a wonderful & easy experience. I would recommend Natalia & Svetlana Bridal Couture to any bride, someone looking for a special dress or anything for a special occasion!! She asked, My daughter what she liked & she put some very Special touches on my daughter's Communion dress! Our daughter loves her dress & can’t wait to show it off. It is so special because she will have a one of a kind Communion dress! She made the dress just like my daughter described it to her. I would give 100 plus stars for Natalia & Svetlana Bridal Couture!! She was very nice, very patient & very professional. Sometimes it’s hard to get a young child to sit still for a dress fitting but Natalia was awesome! She got the job done!! Thank you very much, Natalia for everything!! We will definitely be back for a special dress! Angelina

recommend Svetlana Bridal Couture to other brides.

in less than 2 hours in mint condition and at a great price. I had gotten quotes from surrounding areas for over $250 to have my dress steamed. I will continue to recommend this bridal shop for every bride that wants exceptional service during the most stressful time of their wedding. Svetlana's Bridal will be sure to get the job done!

a glove. I cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day!! the shop is small and you get one on one attention and top notch service. this was the only place I went to and only tried on about 6-7 dresses. she made what could have been an overwhelming, tiresome process totally fun and manageable! i would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding dress!!

ve ordered three gorgeous and uniquely customized dresses for my destination wedding with many rounds of discussions with Natalia and the fabulous designer who is so kind to send me sketches showcasing the detailed designs to make sure the dresses fit my expectations 100%!

ertainly helped me find mine!

s absolutely wonderful! She found fabric that matched my dress perfectly, took my measurements, and the jacket was made in Russia. The price was reasonable, and she is extremely prompt with all responses. The jacket looks like was made for my dress! It fits perfectly and they even added buttons to match the back of my dress. Amazing does not begin to describe it! She also had a veil that matched the fabric of the dress and jacket. I felt like a queen and it would not have been possible without Svetlana Bridal! I cannot wait for my wedding day!! Thank you Natalia for being an angel and making my vision a reality.

months pregnant. The dress designers even added their own touches to make my dress special and unique. Her schedule was very accommodating and if someone were to ask who I recommend, it would most definitely be Svetlana Bridal!

dress looked expensive. She also helped me with accessories. So I got everything from this store. Thanks for helping me save my time and money!

s to find The One. My first impression of the boutique was that it was very small, but they offer a unique variety of options exclusive to the boutique, designed by Svetlana, I learned. Natalia made me feel very comfortable, and after showing her a few dress pics, she pulled about 5 dresses. When trying them on, each dress was pretty in its own way, some more flattering on me than others, but near the end, Natalia decided to pull a 2 piece-dress, consisting of a strapless sweetheart lacy corset and ruffled skirt. It had no train, which is exactly what I wanted. I was trying to avoid alterations, and the dress fit me perfectly! I was also trying to stick to my budget, so Natalia let me buy the floor sample in order to get it closer. I do wish it was still a little less expensive, that would be my only gripe. I didn't buy the dress on the spot, as I had an appointment to go to Amelia's Boutique right aftwards, but after a disappointing selection of options there, I came back to Svetlana Couture and purchased the dress! I'm very happy that I have this important piece of the wedding process completed, and that it met my needs. I'm also happier supporting a local business, rather than the giant wedding industry machine. I highly recommend Svetlana Couture!

mple details about my style and size, Natalia already had picked out a few dresses for me to try on when I got to the store. She was very attentive, friendly, and easy to work with. I’m very happy with my dress and my experience working with Natalia at Svetlana Bridal Couture.

to my needs and likes. I leave very happy!

of. The dresses were beautiful and although I have not decided on a dress yet I have a feeling I will be back !

in the shop, but Natalia helped me to customize one style in particular to get the exact look I wanted. Dress shopping at Svetlana Bridal was a stress-free experience - my dress arrived on schedule, and it fits like a glove, as it was made to my measurements.

d up picking out the dress I bought. They are completely custom and are fitted to you! I just picked mine up last week and it fit like a glove. No fittings necessary - amazing! I would highly recommend Svetlana's - you will not be disappointed!

ing to try my dress on and it fit the first time and I could take it home no problem. Natalia is such a professional and has such good advice. She truly made my experience unfortgettable. I would go back to Svetlana Bridal a million times over........but of course I won't have to 😉 I can't thank Natalia enough for my gorgeous dress!

to be accommodating to everyone I brought to the store. I got the dress of my dreams, custom made and fit just for me! Thanks, Natalia!

lace combined seamlessly and elegantly, and the total effect is truly one-of-a-kind perfection. We can’t thank you enough!

y patient. I returned to her store a few times before deciding to purchase anything and each time she had the same amount of patience as the first!

n! I came in with a casual tea length dress in mind but ended up leaving with a gorgeous, one of a kind gown that I absolutely LOVE! Natalia was so incredibly helpful in not only suggesting dresses but also accessories - including a skirt to go underneath the dress so I didn't have to take the dress up ( it would have only required very minor alterations due to my height) but it saved me the time and money. I was able to take my dress home that day! If you're able to fit into a sample size, they offer a significant discount rather than making your dress from scratch. I would recommend Svetlana's to any bride and please make sure to ask for Natalia!

LE! I have an injury and it was so nice to wear a dress that didn't weigh a thousand pounds even though I love poof and frills), I found exactly what I want. Natalia was more than helpful, I felt very comfortable with her and she was a great listener, and I respect her a lot as a person and businesswoman. Great store, really well run, and beautiful and unique designs. Amazingly, I got a gown for under $1k, the floor sample fit perfectly so I won't need alterations. I simply cannot believe that I got the dress of my dreams at that price.

l of the dresses I tried at Svetlana's were amazing quality and fit my petite but curvy frame. Natalia was knowledgeable, professional and flexible. I visited 4 times (with multiple people) before saying "YES!" to the dress, I even added "bling" to the sweetheart neckline Natalia physically brought back from Moscow. We even created a custom "stacked" veil for me that is now on display in the store. Dress shopping itself is stressful, but wedding dress shopping can create serious anxiety! I felt confident in my choice and with this bridal boutique. I highly recommend Natalia to anyone in search of a unique bridal gown at a reasonable price. My budget was 6k which got me nowhere at Kleinfeld. After stating that, the sales woman said, "I thought you'd be a 'Pnina Bride'--not with that budget". I tried one on that was "decent" priced at $7800. I left Svetlana's with a dress, custom appliques added, a custom veil and headband--and was WELL under my budget. If you go, tell them SHEENA sent you! :)

se they only take one bride at a time. You don't feel rushed at all and all attention is on you. Because ever dress is custom made, you get to tweek your dress and make it perfect for you. It makes it feel unique and one of a kind. I can't wait to see the final product! UPDATE: I just got my dress, and it is perfect. Exactly what I hoped for. Natalia was amazing. My experience has been wonderful with Svetlana Bridal Couture. I recommend it to every bride-to-be.

but didn’t receive at any of the other stores. She took her time with me and really listened to what I was looking for. She made me feel special and went above and beyond the day I was there. All seemed perfect and I was super excited until my custom dress arrived from Russia and it didn’t fit. At first I freaked out thinking I had gained weight, but after Natalia re-measured me she admitted it was mistake by the designer in Russia. She promised me she could have a new dress for me in two weeks. At that point I was upset and did not want to take the chance of having someone so far away make a custom dress and/or possibly risk the dress coming in the wrong size again. I proposed she let me pick out a different dress from her sample gowns in the store and have it altered by someone local to which she agreed. I found one that happened to be brand new, never been tried on before that fit me and my venue perfectly. I felt like it was meant to be and in the end I think I’m even happier with my second dress. While the dress arriving as the wrong size was bad experience, it could have been a much more disastrous experience if it occurred with a different salon. Natalia really came through for me and made sure I got exactly what I needed and that I was happy with my dress.

custom measured to my body so that you don't even need alterations when it comes in. Her prices were amazing and her service was exceptional I couldn't have picked a better salon to find my dream dress. Natalia is amazing, her salon is beautiful and your appointments are private so your are the only person in the salon so you get the attention you really need. I can't wait to wear my dream dress. Thank you so much Natalia!

lia in search of a new veil. She was so helpful and patient and even let me bring in my dress so she could match a new veil perfectly. I ended up with a gorgeous cathedral ivory veil with embroidery detail. I can't wait to wear it! Thank you Natalia!

tes. I knew it when I saw it. I had a few accents added to it and even when I had to get it altered even after it was made to my original measurements (I'm fine with losing a few inches!), she was so patient, and accommodating and most importantly, delivered on all promises, promptly and in a small timeframe. Highly recommended!!!

shop is just what you need to find "the one" (other than your future husband).

enough if you are looking for a highly personalized and stress-free experience. Natalia only sees one bride at a time, so it is a quiet atmosphere basically serving as a private fitting. She has a clean and bright shop, with bottles of water waiting for you on the table alongside the latest bridal magazines. When you step into Svetlana, you are the sole source of attention and you are basically guaranteed to find something to your liking. Natalia pulled several dresses that went along with the styles I explained I was looking for, and she also chose a couple of others that I never would have chosen on my own. I had a pretty firm idea of what I was looking for in a dress, but it turned out that I picked a dress that looked nothing like what I went in for! She was very knowledgable about what would look good on me, and she insisted I try on dresses that I thought I would have no interest in. The very last dress she selected for me to try on was PERFECT; I fell in love with it the moment I put it on. I purchased it and had measurements taken (because the dresses are custom made). I also bought a headpiece with it, which complements my dress nicely and fits in with my overall style. Natalia was always responsive via phone or email for any questions I had, and she kept me abreast as to when my dress would be in. My dress did arrive later than anticipated (which was initially a small source of stress), but she was following the whereabouts of the dress and always was in touch with me ensuring it would get to me on time. That being said, my dress arrived over a month before my wedding date allowing plenty of time for alterations- but I didn't even need alterations because it was a custom fit! The dress fit me beautifully and I was enamored with it. It was everything I was hoping for and more. I then bought a stunning two-tiered veil from her to complete the look. Natalia steamed the veil and told us how to keep everything in perfect condition until the wedding. My dress from Svetlana is the most beautiful gown I have ever seen and the price was remarkable. It was my first major purchase for my wedding, and it set a high standard for all of my future wedding-related purchases. I can't wait to wear it this weekend! Thank you Natalia! Xo

k for a dress I’ll only wear once!), you’ll definitely find at least one dress in your budget that you love. Natalia is an incredibly sweet, patient woman who gives you her undivided attention throughout your gown search. She listened to my ideas but also provided some of her own based on her expertise. I’m glad I took her advice about having an open mind: although I cautioned her that I had disliked ~95% of dresses I had seen on various websites (not exaggerating), Natalia and I found TWELVE dresses that had potential. Even after visiting two other shops, I kept coming back to a gorgeous lace gown I found at Svetlana Bridal. Natalia had me try it on again when I came in with my MOH, and I was sold. I’m what my friends and family call “tiny”, so having measurements taken for a custom-fit dress with no need to take up the hem (or take in the dress) was a godsend! Natalia notified me right away when my dress was ready; it fit me perfectly with no alterations needed. My dress overall held up wonderfully, even with all the small branches on the ground at my reception venue catching on the lace (which is sturdier than any I’ve ever worn!). My sole complaint is that the bustle, which consisted of a loop of thick thread and a button, came undone multiple times during the reception. Our day-of coordinator had to pin it in place, but even that didn’t fully hold. Don’t bother with other shops; just visit Svetlana Bridal! You’ll be glad you did.

ter to multiple sizes. They are all very flattering and beautiful. Natalia is extremely friendly and made it much easier for me to find a dress without all of the stress.

l feel very comfortable and on extremely good hands. Natalia is a pleasure to do business with!

res you and the dress is made to order. I am not a very tall bride and with all the alterations at other places along with the dress shortening I would probably end up paying around $500! At Svetlana Bridal I am paying $0. They also have beautiful accessories at very reasonable prices in comparison to NYC stores. Highly recommend Svetlana Bridal

to my liking. When I came back the next day, she had pictures of specific details I had requested and explained how the designers would incorporate them with my dress. My family and I had so much fun. I had about 12 people with me and Natalia was so accommodating. I have searched EVERYWHERE from NC to NY for my dream dress and nowhere has compared to Svetlana Bridal Couture!

mized with matching lace trim and all the customizations I have done to the dress (I changed a straight across top to sweetheart, added more beads to the bodice) didn't cost me much at all!! I loved the fact that I could create almost one of a kind dress within my modest budget and not even once I felt any pressure. Thank you. This bridal shop stands out for sure with the quality and designs it has to offer!

atalia made me feel so special and beautiful. You can tell right away that she loves what she does and has an awesome sense of fashion. The high quality of the dresses makes it totally worth the prices. I would recommend this place hands down to any others!

ment was private and Natalia offered 150% of her attention to me. She was extremely patience, as I went in not having any idea what I was looking for. She's knowledgable and passionate about what she does. I found the gown of my dreams which is one of a kind. It was customized to my specification, and the workmanship was flawless. If you truly want a memorable bridal experience I would highly recommend you go see Natalia at Svetlana Bridal. -Michelle N

a great experience and I could not thank her enough!

nd out they take only one appointment per time. I didn't have to rush to try on the dresses which my mom loved. There are several European designers whose dresses are just stunning!!! My heart was stolen by a blush mermaid with white chantilly lace over it and a splash of crystals on the bodice. I have to say I had such a variety to choose from that almost make me feel overwhelmed however their sales assistant Natasha did an amazing job helping me sort out what I really wanted. I chose a gorgeous headband with Swarovski crystals to complete my look and one of a kind veil with lace edge. I am very pleased with my experience and would advise every bride to stop by Svetlana Bridal to buy their dress. The only challenging thing was Parking:) The shop has off the street parking on Palmer Ave and its a pretty busy street in general. Other than that great local very stylish bridal salon. I also got a $25 coupon towards my gown cleaning and preservation at Svetlana Bridal.

elping me find exactly what I was looking for and God knows Im picky :) ), and lots of positive experience to top! Thank you so much guya, you made my day even more special!!!
