Owner and Founder
Entrepreneurship runs deep in my family, and from a young age, I knew I wanted to own my own business. However, it wasn’t until I stepped into a bridal boutique and said "yes" to my own wedding gown that the vision became clear—owning a bridal boutique was my calling. I will never forget the magic I felt as I walked into the shop; every detail left a lasting impression. It was in that moment that I knew I had found my purpose. Today, I am proud to live my dream and passion by providing brides with the exceptional bridal experience they deserve.

Ve'Lace is the best choice to shop for your wedding gown. I knew I wanted an intimate, calm setting to shop for my dress and Ve'Lace is the perfect place for a special shopping experience. All of the women who work there are the kindest, most thoughtful women who genuinely share in your bridal joy. I found my dream dress at Ve'Lace because they truly have something for everyone.

Words simply cannot express how much we loved working with Ryan DiPaolo and the team at Ve'Lace bridal. From the 1st phone call to set up an appointment, the experience itself shopping for my daughter's wedding gown straight through alterations & pick up were all simply A+. Everything a mother could want for her daughter's special day.
Thank you Ryan and Ve'Lace!

I had a great shopping experience at Ve’Lace, it was the first and only shop I went to. The stylist was great and listened to what I wanted and even pulled one of the exact inspo dresses I had sent! I particularly wanted a removable skirt, and the dress I had fell in love with they told me I could add the skirt for $399 - I was ecstatic, bought, signed and left. A few days later Shadia called to tell me that my dress would be actually be in a month after they originally said (which was fine!) and that the designer could not do the removable skirt in time. But she assured me I could buy the fabric and their seamstress would do it for me - it would cost an additional $500. I had already paid and loved this dress so I said ok, what was another $500.
When the dress arrived, there was confusion on if I was getting alterations done there, and because of the time I’d have to go to the seamstress in Wellesley instead of at Ve’Lace. I said I absolutely want them to do it since they promised me the making of this skirt. There had to have been a miscommunication, because when I got there the seamstress was stressed when she found out she had to make a skirt and the cost to do it would be $1000 (not the $500 Shadia. And on top of that, it was another $1400 (as much as the dress itself!!) to alter my dress - the size dress they ordered was wayyy too small so they had to essentially take out the entire dress. No fault of Ling who was an amazing seamstress and did a phenomenal job with the dress!!! Highly recommend her.
All in all, if they had told me I couldn’t get the skirt sooner, I would have gone with a different dress or gone somewhere else. And I wish they’d done a better job measuring so that they didn’t have to re-do my entire dress. But I loved how my dress, it was exactly what I wanted!
response 11/18/2024
Dear Kaitlin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your experience w...
ith us. We are delighted to hear that you loved your dress and that Ling’s work exceeded your expectations. It’s always our goal to ensure our brides feel beautiful and confident on their wedding day!
We do want to address some of the concerns you mentioned to provide clarity:
Removable Skirt Pricing: When discussing custom additions like a removable skirt, we make every effort to ensure our brides understand the pricing involved. Our alterations agreement explicitly states that custom designs, such as creating something from scratch, are not part of standard alterations pricing. We always encourage brides to request a detailed quote before proceeding with custom work. The initial price you referenced was for a designer-made detachable skirt, which unfortunately could not be completed in time. When moving to a custom creation through our seamstress, the pricing reflects the complexity of the work.
Alterations Process and Measurements: We are highly experienced in taking accurate measurements and ordering the correct dress size. It’s important to note that weight fluctuations and the natural need for alterations are common for most brides. While it’s rare for an entire dress to need significant resizing, this can happen due to various factors outside the initial measurement process.
Alterations Location: We always aim to complete alterations under our roof whenever possible, as it allows us to oversee the process and ensure alignment with what was discussed.
While we regret that parts of the process felt stressful for you, we’re thrilled that the final result was exactly what you envisioned. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continuously strive to improve every bride's experience.
We truly appreciate your trust in us and wish you all the best in your new chapter as a married couple! Wishing you many, many years of love and happiness!
Warm regards,
Shadia
Owner, Ve’Lace Bridal

I had such a great experience at Ve'Lace Bridal! I went in September 2023 during one of their clearance event sales. I had Shannon as my stylist. The very last dress they pulled for me was the one! Since it was a clearance event, I took the dress off the rack and had it with me. They gave great recommendations for me with the dress as well. They were so nice and helpful throughout the whole process! I would recommend them to anyone!

I had a wonderful experience finding my wedding dress at Ve’lace bridal. The staff was so kind and great to work with. They were so patient and really cared about helping me find my perfect dress. They listened to what I said I wanted or didn’t want in a wedding dress and pulled multiple different styles and options which was very helpful since it was my first time trying on dresses. It was also very convenient that they offered tailoring services. My mom also ended up finding her dress here as well. Overall I had a great experience at Ve’lace and I would highly recommend it.

While I did purchase my dress and get it tailored at Ve'Lace there were a couple things that made me give a 4 star review instead of a 5.
Cons: I was not a fan of my stylist (she no longer works there), I don't feel like she really listened to what I had to say about the dress I was looking for. I had done A LOT of research on dresses and boutiques before booking my appointment so I knew what I was looking for, plus I am in fashion so I know what looks great on me. You are not allowed to take photos in any of the dresses you try on until you say yes - that's a policy that needs to go away! Or bring some stealthy bridesmaids. Now for the tailoring: I was very specific that I did not want a train on my dress and when we ordered it we tried to get it without a train, but it was not an option on my dress. When I went for my first alteration appointment the seamstress tried to talk me out of cutting off the train . I also wanted the top of my dress lined, but no additional fabric was ordered (originally because of cutting the train off), but the seamstress said I might not be able to use the train to linen the top of the dress. In the end it worked out, but my first alteration appointment was not great and I was feeling like I should not had bought my dress there. In the end it turned out exactly how I wanted so it was great. Also my wedding was in January and the seamstress was on vacation for 3 weeks so I got my dress 2 days before my wedding....that was stressful!
Pros: The boutique is beautiful and has a HUGE selection of dresses to pick from and if they do not have a dress you want there is an option of them getting a dress in for you to try on for $100 fee, but that goes towards the dress you pick. All the other stylists I saw after I purchased my dress where the sweetest girls! You will feel like a million bucks walking around that store. I would suggest purchasing the preservation through them. It was so easy. Drop off your dress and it gets mailed to you!
All in all it was a good experience and I would recommend Ve'Lace.

I can't recommend Ve'Lace Bridal enough. The women who work there are all so incredible, kind, and caring. You can tell how much they love their job and making brides feel beautiful. They offer gorgeous dresses, veils, accessories, etc., but the best part of my experience was the customer service. When you meet the owner Shadia it is clear why everyone is so happy and bubbly- even at work! During my first appointment Shadia helped me look for dresses and I found it so refreshing that she was on the floor helping brides like me even as the store owner- she truly does love and care about brides and making them feel beautiful and get excited for their wedding day. I had a lot of ups and downs deciding what I wanted and Shadia truly saved the day. No matter how difficult of a bride I probably was for her she was always patient, understanding, reassuring, and worked so hard to help me feel comfortable and find my dream wedding dress that I felt like a princess in. We spend a lot of time in the store, on the phone, and over email to make sure I was certain and comfortable in my choice. One of my favorite things she says is "it's hard being a bride!" she really understands the amount of stress and pressure a wedding and finding a dress can be. I can't thank Shadia enough for her grace and patience with me. She helped me in ways I don't think any other owner would when they have an indecisive bride. The team at Ve'Lace is wonderful and I am very thankful I was able to find my wedding dress with them. Thank you Shadia for all you do- I will never forget your kindness and how you always helped make me feel calm and sane during such a stressful time.

Shadia and her team were absolutely amazing. I had a concept of what I wanted to wear but wasn’t really sure until I told them some ideas. I was able to find “The Dress” after just 3 tries. I was referred by my cousins wife and I was certainly not disappointed. I felt special and that this was the one thing I could feel pampered for. You truly feel like you are their main priority and they don’t allow others to cloud the soon-to-be brides judgment and ensure they still feel heard.

I definitely dress shopped quite a bit. As soon as I went to Ve’Lace I knew it was where I’d be finding my dress. I think they have the best selection for quality and varying dresses out there. They listened to what I was looking for but also threw in some dresses they thought I might like to try on. There were a couple dresses I wanted to try but they didn’t have in store so they ordered them for me so I could try them on. The customer service was excellent. I felt super comfortable as soon as I walked through the door. I got my dress there and also, my bridesmaids dresses. I did get my alterations done through the store and my dress fit like a glove. If you don’t want to go to several stores dress shopping, save the time and just go to Ve’Lace!

ding gown at Ve’Lace. I had gone to one other shop prior and felt overwhelmed and that I was getting pushed into dresses that were not “the one.” Then I came to Ve’Lace and felt heard and like the staff truly cared about me finding the dress of my dreams. They listened to what I was looking for and what I liked / didn’t like on the dresses I was trying on. The stylist also helped me to block out opinions of family members to make sure I got what I wanted. As soon as I tried on my dress I knew it was the one!
I then came back with my MIL to find her MOG dress which she was having a very hard time deciding on prior to coming to Ve’Lace. The owner, Shadia, helped pick out many dresses for her to try on listening to her wants and concerns. My MIL found her perfect dress after going to many other shops prior!
Shadia and her team are truly the best - I could not recommend Ve’Lace more!!

I found the most beautiful dream dress at Velace with the help of Coco. The whole process was so easy! They made me feel so special and were not at all pushy.

My experience at Velace Bride was simply outstanding, earning a well-deserved 5-star review. The boutique's charming atmosphere and exceptional customer service made finding my perfect wedding dress an enjoyable and stress-free process.
The staff's knowledge and attention to detail were apparent as they selected dresses tailored to my vision and preferences. Their expertise resulted in me finding "the one," a stunning gown that embodied everything I had imagined for my special day.
With an extensive selection of exquisite gowns and unparalleled customer service, Velace Bride sets itself apart from other bridal boutiques. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking their dream wedding dress. Thank you, Velace Bride, for making my big day unforgettable.

Velace Bridal was so amazing in helping me find what I was looking for in a dress, and was the only place I needed to go! They have such a gorgeous selection of dresses and an amazing team that helps to really pinpoint what you are looking for in a dress. I went to Velace hoping to find my dress, nervous hearing from others that dress shopping was a stressful experience for them. Velace made me feel comfortable and calm, and listened to what I was looking for. I got my alterations done through Velace as well and they were extremely accommodating and made my dress fit like a glove! I also brought my mom to Velace after trying for months to find a mother of the bride dress, and they helped her to find her dress as well. They made her feel so comfortable and confident during a process that was stressful for her. I truly believe this is the best place to find a wedding dress!

I HIGHLY recommend Ve’Lace Bridal to absolutely anyone. I never write reviews but I have to share what an amazing experience I had here. If you’re thinking of going here do not even hesitate for another second. Their customer service is truly top tier and cannot be matched. When I say they went above and beyond for me, I truly mean it and will be forever grateful. They are knowledgeable and will jump through hoops just to make sure that you are leaving there happy and satisfied. Not to mention the place itself is gorgeous! Taylor was extremely helpful and kind as was the owner, Shadia! I really cannot say enough good things about Ve’Lace. Thank you Shadia for running such an amazing business and delivering the best customer service of any place I’ve ever been to and for most importantly making my wedding dreams come true. 🤍

I went here with my mom to find a Mother of the Bride dress. We made an appointment several weeks in advance, and I drove down several hours to meet her here. The appointment was extremely disappointing. The booked attendant barely paid attention to my mother and was often gone 10-20 minutes without notice. I ended up having to pick out dresses for my mom and zip/clip her in them. It was difficult finding an attendant to give us the time of day, but the brides who were there got lots of attention from the store. The selection and store were small, which is fine, but it felt like she was second-rate. I felt like she was ignored because she wasn't a bride and because she's an older woman. It was extremely discouraging for both of us.

My experience at Ve’Lace was absolutely so special and amazing. Starting with Chadia who felt it was more than possible to accommodate myself and my sister who were wanting to shop together since we are both engaged. After attending her fashion show in the fall, I had asked if she thought she could accommodate the both of dress shopping at once. She instantly said yes. This past weekend, Mary Jo assisted myself and my sister with finding our dream dresses. At the start of our appointment, she took notes on what we were looking for, our wedding dates, and our fiancés names. She didn’t need to look at those notes, not even once. She never forgot a detail about either of us. Mary Jo made me feel confident, and she knew just what I was thinking without even saying anything at all. It was a special day and we cannot thank Ve’Lace and Mary Jo enough💕

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Ve’Lace Bridal, Mary Jo and Shadia! I first ordered my dress back in August but unfortunately could not stop thinking about another dress I had tried on. When my original dress came in and I still could not stop thinking about the other dress, Shadia and Mary Jo were so quick to work with me and get me in the perfect dress for me! They worked with the designer and squeezed me in for a follow up appointment so quickly! I now am ordering the dress of my dreams and I can’t thank Shadia and Mary Jo enough for helping me along the way and being there for me through it all! I will recommend Ve’ Lace to everyone I know and I can’t wait to walk down the aisle next year in my dream dress!

Every time I walked into this bridal shop I felt so special. I was nervous when I went to my initial appointment because I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Coco made the experience so much fun and stress free. She took the time getting to know what style I was looking for and between her, my maid of honor, and my family we found the perfect dress. I felt so beautiful from that moment all the way through my wedding day! The whole process was stress free - from buying my dress to my alterations with Ana - I never worried about my dress because I knew how much this shop cares about their clients. Everyone there is so professional and friendly and just made the whole experience wonderful. I would recommended this bridal shop to all future brides looking for their perfect dress!

I cannot praise Ve’lace enough. They were also very accommodating of my schedule because I flew in from Ohio (I had moved there after buying the dress) to have my fittings.
Also, Dorota, the seamstress, is an artist!! Not only did my dress fit like a glove, she created the most beautiful bustle! I could not have imagined a more beautiful dress!

Shadia and her team (especially Angela) were amazing throughout the entire dress shopping experience! I walked into Ve'Lace wanting two completely different styles of dresses. I loved simple but I also loved big, sparkly ballgowns. How is it possible to get both? I didn't know but they sure did. They worked hard to find the perfect simple dress with an extravagant overskirt... something I would have never thought of. I didn't think I was going to find my dress that day, but ended up saying yes on the spot. From my first appointment, all the way through my final fitting, the staff at Ve'Lace made me feel so pretty and welcomed. I was sad to leave after my final appointment but so excited to wear my beautiful dress with the overskirt! Thank you Ve'Lace!! Definitely recommend shopping here!

when I first walked in, I saw the little personalized welcome sign with my name...and it was then that I knew I was in the right place. I thought the way they greeted me was so sweet. Straight to the point...I said yes to the dress...but with LOTS of happy tears. This was my first real experience but I know I couldn't of asked for a better dress consultant like Mary Jo. She always had me in good spirits and always positive.

Can't say enough great things about Ve'Lace Bridal!
I did not have the typical experience here. My cousin had purchased her dress from Ve'Lace a few years prior and I went with her - she had a great experience and highly recommended it. I'm a plus-size bride so there was a lot of anxiety surrounding wedding dress shopping. I did a lot of online research to find local bridal shops that would have a large variety of sample dresses in my size to try on in store. This research led me to a few other shops. Ve'Lace did not mention plus sizes on their website which ended in me not initially making an appointment here. I would recommend that information regarding sample sizes carried in store be added to the FAQs page for future plus size brides.
At one of my other appointments, I found THE dress. I loved it, got "that feeling" however, it was about 5 sizes too small and could not come close to closing in the back. This dress was just under 2k and for a purchase that big for a day this big, I wanted to make sure I loved the back as well and could see what the back would actually look like. I reached out to that store and asked if they could order a sample/loaner of that dress in my size or closer to my size from the designer and they gave me a BS response saying "they're only able to borrow whatever size they have available and they are usually not plus size options but you loved this dress and should order it because I'm confident you will like it even more in your size". I then research shops in my area that may carry the dress or have a sample in my size. I reached out to many shops who said they didn't have it in store and that they could order me the dress to purchase but not to loan.
After I reached out on the website, Shadia, the owner at Ve'Lace, let me know she could order a try-on gown for me in my size and it would be in the shop for me to try on in two weeks. Willing to work with me and accommodate me to make sure that I'm happy with my 2 thousand dollar purchase. I had to pay the shop's $50 appointment fee which would be applied to the cost of the dress once/if I purchased and I was happy to pay that fee. Shadia was incredibly kind and accommodating and ordered the loaner in the exact size AND color way that I wanted. We made an appointment and I was good to go.
A few days before my appointment, Mary Jo (the stylist I was assigned to) called me to check in, get the backstory, hear a little bit about me and what I was looking for, and let me know what a stunner my dress was! On the day of my appointment I couldn't wait to get into the dress. Mary Jo was kind, got to know me a bit more, and knew I was eager to get into my dress. She let me know I had her for the full hour and a half and said I could try on other dresses if I wanted to as well. As I figured, once I put on my dress I knew it was the one and there was no need to try on other dresses - Mary Jo helped me find a veil that matched perfectly and I said yes to the dress. Mary Jo even dimmed the lights in the shop to make sure I could get the full effect and see what it would look like at nighttime. Shadia even said that they loved the dress so much they're going to buy one to have in the store full time once they send my loaner back!
I'm so thankful that Ve'Lace was able to accommodate me and I was more than happy to give them my business! Thanks all!!

I bought my wedding dress from Ve'lace Bridal this week and I couldn't be happier! I live out of state, and getting back to MA to plan my wedding has been really stressful. I made my appointment pretty last-minute and didn't know what to expect, but Mary Jo's a pro. The first dress she picked turned out to be the one (and I was 99% certain it would be from the start), but Mary Jo asked guiding questions as I tried on a few other dresses to help me figure out exactly what I was looking for. I didn't feel pressured to make a purchase, but I appreciated working with someone who clearly knew what she was doing. Thanks Ve'Lace Bridal!

I just bought my wedding dress from Ve'Lace yesterday. Prior to going there I had been to 5 other shops. Mary Jo helped me and was great. They had a good selection of dresses in general and also for curvy brides like myself. The bridal salon is beautiful and the staff and owner were so friendly! No snobbiness at all here and they do not pressure you. I would highly recommend visiting Ve'Lace for your wedding gown, bridesmaids, or mother's dresses. They have a huge selection.

The experience here was amazing! They really listen to what the bride wants and are not pushy at all. They make the experience feel fun and special. They also were very accommodating. I brought my grandmother who has trouble going up the stairs and they were happy to rearrange things so we could do the fitting on the first floor. The selection of dresses was outstanding and I found exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend this salon! And Mary-Jo as a consultant! She is very friendly and knows a lot about dresses. She also really listened to me and guided me without influencing my decision.

Ve'Lace Bridal is hands down the best place to get your dress in MA!! I went to a few other places in MA first and had some really pushy salespeople and when I didn't find anything I loved, a friend told me about Ve'Lace. Their selection is amazing and even though it may look like a smaller store than some, I found they had more options than others. All their dresses are beautiful but Mary Jo helped me find my perfect dress after a LOT of try ons - she never got annoyed and she was never pushy. Shadia, the owner, is amazing to work with as well in all aspects of the process. Bevinda did my alterations and she is so talented and also so sweet to work with. I can't say enough good things about Ve'Lace, Shadia and her team!

Ve'lace Bridal is an experience. When you go there you have your own appointment with a consultant to listen to your likes and dislikes and pull dresses for you. I am a plus size bride and I was worried that I would not have a lot of options to try on. This was not the case at Ve'Lace. There were lots of options.
Shadia (the owner) helped with my dress. We tried on a few dresses and she pulled one. I saw it and said, I don't think I'll like that (I liked the style but the lining was ivory and I had envisioned all white). She said just try it on and if you don't like it we'll keep looking. The dress wasn't even completely on and I knew it was the one. I am so thankful because if not for her I would never had tried the dress on! My sister loved the experience so much (she was there with me) that when she got engaged she went back and got her dress there.
After purchasing my dress, Tosh did my alterations. I cannot express how perfectly the dress fit after she was done with it. So many people said that dress fits you perfectly and I had to agree. She checked in often to ensure I was happy with the dress.
I got my jewelry and veil there as well. It was very helpful that there were so many varieties and I was able to get everything at one store.
I would definitely recommend Ve'lace.

Everyone at Ve'Lace made it easy to say yes to the dress! This was my first official bridal appointment and they definitely set the bar. The salon is intimate and my party and I were the only ones there, so everyone was very attentive. When we headed upstairs, we were floored by the variety of gorgeous dresses that surrounded us. Angela was my consultant and she asked me a lot of great questions to get a sense as to what kind of style might fit best with me and the venue. With every dress that she brought in, she was SPOT ON in selecting ones that I would like. I went to my first appointment with my mom and my future mother-in-law and so appreciated that another consultant sat and chatted with them while I was in the dressing room. I also liked that Angela did not hesitate to offer her thoughts, which I totally appreciated - it truly felt like we were consulting on which dress would be the one rather than her just catering to what I wanted. At one point the owner, Shadia, happened by...she could not have been nicer! I left that day feeling pretty sure that I had found the one, but had already booked other appointments. Although I saw some other beautiful dresses, none compared to the ones I saw and to the personal service I received at Ve'Lace. I went back for a second appointment with Mary Jo who also could not have been nicer. In re-trying on the dress that Angela had recommended, I got all the feels and knew that I had found the one! If you are looking for personal attention, a kind, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a beautiful selection of dresses.....put Ve'Lace at the top of your list. Thank you everyone for the incredible experience! I am so thrilled to be a Ve'Lace Bride : )

I purchased my wedding dress at Ve’Lace and I am so glad I did!! The entire process was smooth, and everyone at every point made me feel special and appreciated. Obviously COVID was in full swing so they were busy not just trying to make sure everything shipped in time but there were SO many brides to take care of so I especially appreciate the hard work given the circumstances. Every time I went in for a fitting the salon was hopping but Shadia always made sure to touch base and make a point of chatting with every bride which meant a lot! When I went to pick up my dress I was actually a little sad because I know I wouldn’t be coming back!! HUGE shoutout to Victoria, Toch, and Shadia for helping me not just find the dress of my dreams but making it fit like it was meant for me!

I said yes to the dress at Ve'Lace bridal and I couldn't be any happier. Angela and her crew were absolutely outstanding. I felt so comfortable and at home while trying on dresses. Angela was helpful, sweet, calm and efficient, among many other qualities. She was super knowledgeable about the different styles of dresses and knew exactly what would compliment my body type.
The team at Ve'Lace was also extremely welcoming and open to the crew that I brought with me to try on dresses. Having my family and friends included in the process made it that much more special.
I truly cannot say enough great things about Ve'Lace, Angela and the other team members that work there. I would 110% recommend them to anyone!

THE DRESS! Honestly my dress is nothing that I thought I would ever choose, but as soon as I put it on, I fell in love. The consultants were all so nice and so dedicated to finding me the perfect dress within my budget and making me so comfortable. Shadia (the owner) is one of the kindest people I have ever met. I bought my dress and veil pre-COVID and then postponed my wedding. When it was time for my first fitting, I really was on the fence about the original veil I chose. She jumped right in and put on different veils while I had my dress on and I found the one I LOVED and felt so beautiful in. She was so accommodating and actually let me exchange my original veil that had never been opened or worn. I also did all my alterations through Ve’Lace. Toch was my seamstress, and she is SO TALENTED. My dress had lots of intricate beading on the top and she was able to alter it to fit me perfectly without changing any of the design. I definitely would recommend trying Ve’Lace bridal if you are still searching for THE ONE!

I had my appointment with Shadia this past weekend and let me just say, it was the best experience I could have asked for. I hate shopping and trying on clothes in general and did not expect to have such an enjoyable, fun, and productive time searching for the perfect dress. Shadia was thorough and so so so nice! She made sure I tried every style and completely zeroed in on what I was liking about each dress I tried on—not to mention she was super fast! The boutique is absolutely beautiful and has so many dresses to chose from. I would highly recommend Ve’lace to every bride. 10 out of 10!!

I started my wedding dress journey (like everyone else) on the internet. The first photo that I saw was the dress - I knew it instantly. As it turns out the dress was actually from 2018, and I couldn't find a store that sold it anywhere. As I began searching for a shop that sold the designer, Ve'lace popped up! I called and spoke with the owner, she told me that they had a "dress share" program - this meant she could call the designer and get the dress for me to try. I was ELATED! We set up a time for me to come with my family to try on dresses & they snuck that dress in the mix. Mary Jo was our consultant and she was wonderful to work with. Little did any of us know, my Dad wouldn't make it to the wedding as he lost his battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. He was at this appointment and got to see me in the dress - for this I am so grateful. If you are looking for something special and need helping finding it - GO TO VE'LACE!!!

After having some serious dress regret over a dress I purchased elsewhere, I made an appointment on a whim and decided to go alone so I make a decision on my own without anyone else’s persuasion since I’m usually extremely indecisive!
I had been looking online at different styles, but after I explained to Mary Jo what I wasn’t happy about with my first dress, she knew EXACTLY what I needed and what I had in mind!! I fell in love with the first dress I tried on at Ve’Lace, but knew I had to try on more just to be sure. The last dress Mary Jo pulled for me was everything I was looking for and more....IT HAS POCKETS! :D
My wedding is still over a year away, but I haven’t been able to stop daydreaming about the big day and this dress!!
Thank you Mary Jo, for knowing exactly what a girl needed and asking all of the right questions that helped me make one of the biggest decisions of my life! And thank you for not thinking I was crazy for doing it all alone! :)

I had the best experience at Ve’Lace Bridal. My dress shopping visit was done with Mikayla who was extremely helpful. She really took the time to answer any questions and went above and beyond to help me find my perfect dress. Also a plus that their dressing room for bridal gowns isn’t the size of a coat closet like at David’s Bridal, so it was really comfortable and enough space for her to help me in and out of each dress. Benvinda did all my dress alterations and added straps to my dress which all came out so beautiful! Even going to drop off my dress for steaming or picking it up, every employee there is very friendly and helpful. I would 100% recommend Ve’Lace to any bride looking for their perfect dress!!!
