- ShadiaOwner and FounderEntrepreneurship has always been a part of my life, thanks to my dad, whose drive and dedication showed me what it means to build something of your own. From a young age, I knew I wanted to follow in his footsteps and own my own business. But it wasn’t until I stepped into a bridal boutique and said “yes” to my own wedding gown that my vision became clear. Owning a bridal boutique was my true calling. I will never forget the magic I felt as I walked into that shop; every detail left a lasting impression. In that moment, I knew I had found my purpose. Today, I am proud to live my dream and share my passion by providing brides with the exceptional experience they truly deserve.

I had the most amazing experience finding my wedding dress at Velace Bridal with the help from Shadia and her team! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel so comfortab...
le and genuinely excited about the process. I first tried on dresses upstairs with Jess and once the other members of their staff had finished up with their other clients they came around to help suggest other dresses that I might like based on how I felt trying on different styles. It was truly a team effort! They truly listened to what I envisioned and helped me find the perfect dress — an absolutely stunning Eddy K gown that made me feel confident, elegant, and completely myself on my wedding day. The whole experience with Shadia and her team was seamless, from the first appointment to final fittings. My mom even got her dress there and her team made suggestions on ways to ‘dress up’ the dress based on previous MOB alterations and what my mom was envisioning for her dress. I can’t thank the Velace team enough for making such a special moment in my life feel effortless and unforgettable!

I just purchased my dress at Ve'Lace and had a wonderful experience! The staff were super helpful and knowledgable. They were patient with me when I was choosing between 2 dresses...
and they selected great dresses that fit my style during the process. They really worked hard to make the experience stress free and make you feel special every step of the way. We went on Valentines day and they had a selection Valentine's drinks, snacks, and bouquet building. I am looking forward to receiving my dress and working with this team for alterations (having the alterations done in-house is also a huge plus!). This went beyond any experience I had with other vendors, and I cannot recommend them enough!

d. I had a certain dress in mind that I loved online, but wasn’t sure if Ve’Lace carried that specific one. My mom and I went in with the intention of just having fun and trying on dresses together. Upon checking in, one of the stylists, Jess, got chatting with us and realized she knows my brother from college. We jived so well that she switched her other bridal appts to help me! Jess was so sweet and did a fantastic job! We went upstairs to begin the appt and she came out WITH THE DRESS I was hoping for, along with some other great suggestions. After trying on my dress, I couldn’t stop thinking about it after giving all of the others a chance. There were so many good vibes about this place, I had to say yes! Days later, I’m feeling very confident in my decision and like that dress was made for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ve’Lace Bridal – A Boutique for the Entire Wedding Party
From the moment I walked into Ve’Lace Bridal, I felt welcomed, cared for, and truly valued. Shadia has created ...
such a warm, elegant, and joyful atmosphere where every woman feels special and beautiful. Her passion and love for what she does shine through in every detail.
What makes this boutique truly exceptional is the stunning variety of gowns — for the bride-to-be, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and even the flower girl. Every dress is chosen with elegance, quality, and timeless beauty in mind.
The patience, kindness, and personal attention each customer receives are truly outstanding. This is not just a bridal boutique — it is a heartfelt and unforgettable experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Ve’Lace Bridal to every bride and wedding family looking for beauty, elegance, and genuine care.

I was refe...
rred to Ve'ace by a coworker who had a hard time finding her dress and finally purchased at Ve'Lace. She raved about them, and it made Ve'Lace my first stop when I went to look for a dress a few months later.
Ally. my consultant, helped me find the perfect dress. She was helpful, upbeat, and listened to what I was looking for. In doing so, I ended up buying the first dress I tried on! She found the perfect A-line/ballgown, with lots of embellishment and a high neckline (with straps). It was a lot to ask based on the trend that are in style right now.
Ve'Lace makes sure the alternations are perfect and the dress looks perfect. Shadia was always willing to help and provide a listening ear during the planning process. She is a fantastic owner who cares about every bride that comes through her door.
I cannot speak high enough about the service at Ve'Lace. They helped me find my dream dress and I felt absolutely amazing in it!

Recently, my daughter was asked to be a junior bridesmaid for an out-of-state wedding. The bride did not care about the style; however, she did have a specific color in mind. When ...
we got to the store, we showed the ladies working the color swatch the bride had sent. Immediately, the ladies got to work, figuring out which designers carried that specific color and junior bridesmaids dresses. As a mom, I appreciated that the styles they chose were on the more modest side. As the junior bridesmaid, I know my daughter appreciated being heard and listen to when it came to style preferences. Overall, we had a great experience and it was a lot of fun. We were able to find a dress which my daughter loves in the color that the bride wants in an efficient and fun manner!

When I first booked my appointment, Ve’Lace Bridal was so accommodating to my busy summer schedule. I was able to find my dream wedding dress with stylist Ryan. She was so patient, listened to what I wanted and made the try on process a great one. I went back a few weeks later, to officially say yes to the dress and it was the best feeling! Ryan was with me from getting my dress, my fittings and final pick up. She made me feel so supported, was always nice to me and I felt welcomed!
My dress was altered by the owner of the shop Shadia. Shadia is SO talented, kind and knows exactly what she is doing. The alterations she did to my dress were remarkable. I always looked forward to going to my wedding alterations because I left feeling so happy. I am forever thankful that Shadia worked on my dress and I purchased it from her shop.
I will continue to highly recommend Ve’Lace Bridal shop to everybody. I can’t thank Shadia and Ryan enough! You are both amazing and thank you again!!

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 d...
resses 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 from Ve'Lace Bridal on 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

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 n...
o 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.

l. 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.

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!

ard 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!!

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.

ing 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 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 e...
xtremely 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.

Again, we are sorry to hear this and wish you all the best with your upcoming wedding!

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 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!

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!

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!

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 h...
er - 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!!

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!
