Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa

e night. Vassa truly has a gift for what she does. She has an incredible eye for the details, and she made my wedding dress look and fit absolutely perfectly. Her service is outstanding –she was extremely flexible and accommodating with her schedule. And it’s such a personal experience in her store with only one appointment at a time – she truly makes every one of her brides feel special. I can’t thank Vassa enough for her patience, guidance and expertise – she is the best!

ed even the smallest details from our previous conversations - it's the little things that make the biggest impact! She is sweet, personable and great at what she does. My dress was perfect and I can't thank her enough for making me look and feel so beautiful on my big day. I can't recommend Vassa enough!

thing I will miss is all the appointments I had with Vassa leading up to the big day. From the first dress shopping experience, Vassa made me feel special and truly like a one-of-a-kind bride! She was patient as I scrutinized every detail of every dress, and she encouraged me to take my time and look at all angles through all possible mirrors. The dress I chose was perfect, and Vassa's attention to detail was impeccable throughout all fittings - my dress (and veil) looked great all day and night! She was always flexible with appointment times, especially the week of the wedding, and she was always so calm and collected. Vassa also helped my mom get a beautiful Mother of the Bride dress, and she looked so good that my friends kept calling her a Disney princess all night. Thank you Vassa for everything!

he made sure to make me feel comfortable, listened to everything I asked for, stayed in my budget, and did not pressure me at all. She did all of this while giving me the total ‘Bridal Experience’ (private appointment in salon, wine, family/friends can come with you) and without feeling like you HAVE to go Kleinfeld's. Vassa is extremely talented with a gorgeous selection of dresses. Vassa knew my dress was THE dress before I did… she really knows people and her collection of dresses. She also altered my dress perfectly. If you are looking for your dream dress and your own bridal moment, I highly recommend Vassa! She is a true gem.

t my search. From the second I met Vassa, I knew I wanted to find a dress with her. Our appointment was private and intimate. It was just me, her, and my mom. She was so warm, kind, and bubbly. She is a truly master at her craft. Vassa spoke to me (like we were lifelong friends) while picking out different dresses for me to try on. Each dress I tried on, she read my body language and listened to my feedback. I tried on about ten dresses and she told me she saved the best for last. I put the dress on and I knew immediately. I felt like myself, but most of all I felt like a bride. Vassa encouraged me to keep shopping and if I was still thinking about the dress to call her. I went to two more stores and very quickly called Vassa and asked to come back. Vassa was not pushy and just wanted me to be happy. I went back and Vassa encouraged me to try on a few more dresses because she wanted me to be sure. I put my dress again and I was beyond sure! Vassa did all of the alterations herself. She takes pride in her work and has you come for several fittings until a few days before your wedding day so your dress is perfect for your body. My dress could not have fit me better. All of my cousins are asking if it could be a hand - me- down. Vassa gives you information on what to do with your dress after. She covers all the bases. On top of being an expert in her craft, she manages to keep you calm and feel like you are the most important bride in the world. I couldn’t be happier that I found my dress with her. Vassa, thank you! You are amazing!

She clearly takes pride in her work and that shows in her fantastic products. The dress fit perfectly and was so fun to wear and show off!

dress hanging and knew it was the one! She felt like family at every fitting and made me feel so comfortable. She truly has a gift for she does! Vassa was a pleasure to work with, so accommodating and professional. I cannot say enough great things about her. She is amazing!

her clients. The store has a well-curated collection of beautiful gowns. Vassa gave me a selection of every type of style I had in mind and more, and when I was undecided between two she let me leave for a few hours to think about it and come back to try them both on again that night. That's just one example of how she goes out of her way to accommodate her customers. And in the end I made the perfect choice! I absolutely love my gown and my experience was so enjoyable that my mom decided to get her dress from Vassa as well. Highly recommend!

he process and was there every step of the way. I truly appreciate her! I will never forget this experience. I knew once I visited her boutique, that this was the right place and that I would purchase my wedding dress here.

d like and what she would think. Vassa and I grew up in the same neighborhood, and she immediately made me feel "at home" in her shop, even at a price point of $2k or under. Now I know that she must be like that for everyone, just a kind, thoughtful, genius at her craft. While I thought I wanted to tuck myself away in a ball gown or a-line dress, Vassa pulled a fit and flare first, and said just try it on. I tried on other dresses after that, including at other shops, but came back to the very first one. Vassa doesn't just look at your body in a dress. She looks at the face you make in the dress. At the feelings you have. How you move and how you walk. And when her face matches your face - some kind of awe and joy - you have your dress. And each time, at every fitting, Vassa made sure that I still felt the same in the mirror. I thought this would be the hardest part, without my mom, and it wasn't. I will be forever grateful for Vassa's advice, kindness, organization, communication and exquisite expertise in dressing brides. I would recommend her to any bride anywhere.

gine. I wasn't crazy about any of the dresses she had but she was willing to order me a sample of a dress that I was eyeing for awhile by a brand that she carries (Enzoani). Of course I loved the dress and it was the one but as a backup she did order me other styles that were similar to that dress. Seriously don't go anywhere else. Vassa is worth it!

did a great job with alterations and made all my wanted changes until I was happy. I would definitely stop by Vassa when considering a dress. Great selection in a range of budgets.

e open making you feel so comfortable. My first stop searching for a wedding dress was with Vassa and I never looked anywhere else. The first appointment she sat with me getting to know me, my style and a feel for my pinterest likes. Going off of what I had explained to her and showing her my ideas of what I thought I would feel comfortable in she starting pulling dresses in all different styles. At first I was nervous but that changed very quick. Vassa truly makes you feel so comfortable, she is amazing at her job and truly has a passion for what she does. Her goal is to make you feel like that princess bride you always dreamed of and she does not stop working until she knows you are 10000% satisfied. She made everything stress free (which is very hard for me). During all of my fittings she was on her hands and knees making sure every stitch was properly done, all ends were even and continuously made sure every inch of my dress properly fit me! My dress was gorgeous!!! It fit absolutely perfect and was extremely comfortable all day and night! I highly recommend you using Vassa, you will never want to leave her! She is the best out there - her dedication is unreal and I am forever touched using her! Thank you Vassa!!!!! I can't wait to spread the word to all my upcoming brides xoxo

you feel like a princess every time you are in her store. Her warm, bubbly personality is contagious, and she makes it such a positive experience, from start to finish. I had visited 6 other stores first, and was so glad that I ended up working with Vassa. Not only does she have a vast selection of more gorgeous gowns than you will find elsewhere, but she never pressures you with her opinions. I went back three times before deciding on my dress, at which point we celebrated with wine and a small photo shoot! At my fittings, I felt confident that Vassa knew what she was doing, and she's truly a perfectionist - In addition to pinning my dress, she took photos on her phone of each little detail so she would know how to fix it perfectly. And, all her meticulous work paid off. Guests at my wedding kept telling me that my dress was the most gorgeous one they've ever seen! I'm already crossing my fingers that friends will want to come back to Vassa for their dresses, so I can accompany them!

el so comfortable in a situation I was very self conscious about (trying on wedding dresses). She made me feel like the most beautiful bride. My mother also got her MOB dress from Vassa and both of our dresses came out AMAZING! Vassa’s attention to detail is like no other. I would also highly recommend using Vassa as your day of wedding dresser. Having her there the day of my wedding was the best decision I made (besides my decision to get my dress from her) Vassa made sure everything went on without a hitch from the time I got into my dress until she bustled me after my first dance. Go to Vassa for the individualized attention that every bride deserves.

the 2nd dress she gave me to try on. It was truly a princess dress and she made sure it fit me perfectly. Vassa was able to look at me, look at the dress and know exactly how it should fit and be altered. She was so helpful, especially during the last few weeks when there are a number of fittings. She was able to accommodate my busy schedule and was such a pleasure to work with. I am so glad I got my dress here and would recommend everyone to meet with Vassa!!

so telling her that I was not the bridal type. Vassa quickly changed my opinion and made me feel beautiful every time I walked into her shop. Vassa did not show me anything out of my price range, and let me discover my dream dress without allowing me to be influenced by the opinion of others. She showed me the difference in my behavior when I tried on the dress I chose, versus others. I am definitely more of an off beat bride, wearing sneakers for my reception and cowboy boots for my ceremony. Vassa shared that she loved this, and helped me pick out jewelry that wasn't typically bridal, but made me feel comfortable being myself. I had a few out of town bridemaids who I really wanted to see me in my dress. She accommodated this and always made me feel at ease. Walking into her shop, being greeted with a hug and yummy wine was everything I needed during this very stressful time. I was nervous during fittings because I was traveling to Spain before my wedding, but Vassa always making me feel beautiful encouraged me to enjoy myself and not think about dress fittings, or my wedding while I was away. Hiring her was the best decision I made regarding my wedding. You are going to spend so much money on things you won't remember. Budget for Vassa. Her time with you getting ready was beyond words. She made sure I ate and drank all day. She told me that my hair clip needed to be fixed. Reminded me who to take pictures with. Asked me if I wanted to tell my photographer to take any more pictures. Made sure I liked my make up. Helped me put on deodorant in a way that wouldn't give me any residue! You may not think you need such a service the day of your wedding, and even with nine bridesmaids, there is no one who is going to think about your wedding day needs like Vassa. I remember the stress some friends had the day of their weddings with bustles, and taking care of the dress in transport. Vassa brings you the dress, and sews your bustle after you walk down the aisle. She steamed bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen attire that needed it that day. After my photos, she pointed out the way my husband looks at me. Who doesn't need that type of comment during their wedding day?! She is a saint. I miss going in for fittings! Her positive attitude, smiles and reassurance were the game changer my friend talked about. I didn't want her to leave.

for Vassa to get to know you and your style. She is warm, caring and most importantly amazing at her job. She listened to my vision and helped me find the perfect dress for me. At no point did I feel pressured or stressed by this process. During the fitting phase, Vassa's attention to detail and expertise were flawless. My dress was gorgeous, fit beautiful and most importantly I was comfortable all day and night. I highly recommend Vassa and wholeheartedly can say you will have a one of a kind dress buying experience.

ing dress, I have never experienced anything as amazing and incredible as my experience with Vassa. It was awesome to be the only bride in the salon. She also has an incredible selection of dresses that I didn't see anywhere else. The personal attention Vassa provides makes you feel like you are shopping with your best friend. I cannot say enough about her. She also makes your family feel very included in the process. And the celebration of buying the dress was awesome! Each fitting with Vassa was great. I not only looked forward to seeing my dress be customized to fit me, but I also looked forward to seeing Vassa as well. I highly recommend Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa to anyone who wants the best wedding dress experience. I am so lucky she was recommended to me by a friend because I can't imagine getting my dress anywhere else! I have never felt so beautiful on my wedding day!

y 2017 wedding! I received so many compliments and felt amazing in it! Vassa gives you her full attention as she only works with one bride at a time so you get the full boutique experience. Thank you for all your hard work! I will recommend Vassa to all future brides!!!

wn turn out better than I could have imagined but the entire process was so pleasant and enjoyable. Vassa and her shop provide an experience that is unlike any other wedding dress shop, she gives her full love and attention to one bride at a time and made my bridal fittings so stress-free and enjoyable. Vassa also provided assistance all day at my wedding and was by my side from the first time I put on the gown through the night. She made sure I looked impeccable all night and really took care of me and my gown so I could enjoy the night. My wedding would not have run as smoothly without her there and I could not be more grateful to have Vassa by my side. Would recommend to all future brides!!

crowds and noise around you. I had a total of four fittings, including the week of my wedding which helped guarantee the dress fit exactly to my body. I also hired her sister Ozzie (Vassa was booked) to be with me the day of my wedding to help dress me, bustle me, arrange my dress in the pictures, etc. Everyone commented on how efficient and helpful she was; the bridal party loved her! I highly recommend going to Vassa for your gown - you will not regret it! I felt confident in my look the entire engagement and wedding day thanks to these two incredible, hardworking sisters.

bsolutely love her and everything she has done!

rom 3 other brides and one of my friends has already bought her wedding dress with her! Her dresses are beautiful and I was so pleased to come in below budget and be able to buy 2 gowns. I will forever be grateful for her input and kindness. I wish her much continued success in the future because she truly deserves it!

l my questions were answered - even the ones I didn't know I had. After looking at every several stores, I knew right away when I went here. Highly recommended!

and taken care of. I told Vassa what my vision was along with my budget. She told me to sit back and relax while she picked a few dresses for me. Well, the first dress I tried on was the one! I fell in love. She understood exactly what I wanted! Vassa makes it so easy and so calming. Her service is like none other. I can't recommend Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa enough! She is the best!

o be focused on finding you your perfect gown. Within a half-hour of being there, I'd find a gown that was unlike anything I'd seen elsewhere and which everyone said perfectly fit my style! I adore my gown and didn't want to take it off at the end of the night! It was altered perfectly and fit like a glove. I would recommend Vassa's boutique to any bride who wants personalized attention in a small boutique with a gorgeous selection of gowns.

happy with the dress I purchased from her store. Vassa has an amazing eye for beautiful dresses and she has a wide variety of styles; though a small shop, there is no lack of gorgeous gowns! The best part about Vassa and her shop is the care and attention she gives to each and every bride who walks into her store; it is such a lovely touch that appointments with Vassa are one-on-one. I wholeheartedly and very happily recommend Wedding Dress Couture by Vassa to all of those embarking on their wedding dress search. Vassa is not to be missed!!!

(first dress I tried on), Vassa treated my family, myself, and the entire experience professionally and made it fun! It wasn't a hassle to pick out a wedding dress, she took all of that out and made it exciting! From that first appointment to the day of the wedding when she came to assist she was on point. Assisting the day of the wedding I can't say enough good things about her. She made sure I ate, stayed hydrated, used the bathroom, was comfortable, and made me feel beautiful. Vassa, I wish you many more brides and I will be directing many more people your way because you are one of a kind and you are absolutely perfect. You made me feel like I was the only person in the world every time I was there and I can't thank you enough for all of your hard work. Love love love LOVE! (And I wish I could wear my dress a million more times because it's amazing!)

sonal and unique experience in her boutique! I'm very indecisive and she was extremely patient and flexible with me. I'm beyond thrilled to have worked with her in finding my dream wedding gown. Not only did Vassa make the in-store experience special, but she held everything together the day of my wedding. Having her there as my dresser was the best decision I ever made and I honestly don't know what I would have done without her that day - she made wonderful suggestions (aside from handling the dress) along the way. I'm so thankful that my friend recommended me to her and I would say look no further to any other bride-to-be. I can't thank her enough!

ind my perfect dress. Her personalization and attention to detail far exceed any other store I visited. I knew I never had to worry about anything with Vassa. She made sure that all of fittings were scheduled well in advance and she kept me informed when my dress, veil and head piece were going to arrive. The alterations were exceptional and my dress fit perfectly. I could not have asked for anything more. Working with Vassa was one of best experiences of my wedding planning process!

oodness I did! The day of my appointment I arrived with my two sisters and niece to help me find the dress of my dreams. I tried on many dresses that day and left torn between the first dress I had put on and another that was out of my comfort zone. A few weeks later I went back with my mom to get her opinion on which dress she liked better. To my surprise when I walked out in the dress I had been dreaming about for weeks (out of comfort zone dress) I stood there watching tears fall down my mothers face commenting on how beautiful I looked and that this was a wow dress! Right then and there I knew it was the perfect dress for me and Vassa gave me that extra confidence boost I needed that I would be able to pull this dress off. You are totally one on one with Vassa and you never feel rushed when you go in there. She makes you feel like the two of you have been friends for years. She is extremely accommodating as well. My 97 year old grandmother was unable to attend to my wedding but came up for my bridal shower weekend from Florida. I called Vassa to see if I could do a quick appointment for my grandmother to see me in my dress. She was able to fit me in on such short notice and we did the whole show for my grandmother with the veil, shoes, and all! She still talks about it to this day and says that it's one of her favorite memories. Not only do I recommend Vassa to purchase your dress from but if you need a day of dresser then I suggest booking her sooner rather than later! I got married in NYC, and Vassa brought my dress to my hotel room, got me dressed, helped my sisters, and mom get dressed, steamed our dresses, and did so much more! My family and I were so happy with her service and absolutely loved her! She helped me with my dress all throughout my pictures, she was extremely attentive and I don't know what I would have done if she was not there. Vassa is very professional and I completely trust her and would recommend her to anyone! You get 5 star one on one treatment that you do not get anywhere else. Anyone would appreciate that! You will not be sorry if you make an appointment there to look for your dream dress!

ssa made the experience so personal and amazing. Everything with her was so easy, and she works around your schedule. She makes you feel so special. Vassa really takes care of every little detail, leaving you with absolutely nothing to worry about. Even the bustle that she created for my dress was perfect, and the bridal attendant at my venue said that she had never seen a bustle that was so easy to figure out. My dress was perfect on my wedding day, and I will forever be in love with it. Vassa is amazing, and I would recommend her to every single bride that I know!

his bridal salon by the receptionist at the doctors office I was getting an emergency root canal! And thank goodness for that root canal! First off what a bridal experience. Vassa had one appointment at a time. Which means you are the main focus and u can have an intimate time with your family and friends. Second she is gifted. The First dress she put me in, was "The Dress!!!" Holy moly when I stepped out in this dress my mother who had no other expression on every other dress I tried on says "wow!" And she was flexible o the price! Which gave me the option to do a dream of mine. Have a reception dress! I went back a second time and found my reception dress again. She was not pushy and so comforting in the entire process. She treats you like a queen. Future Brides Go here! You have nothing to lose!

y knowledgeable, patient and kind. She reminded me to focus on what I wanted to look like as a bride and that helped to shape the rest of my appointment. I said yes to the most beautiful dress and couldn't be happier! But, I couldn't have done it without her remarkable assistant and her amazing salon!

ce could not even compare. Vassa closes her store and dedicates herself to you the entire time you are there. You do not have step over others to look for a dress and you never feel rushed or pressured. Vassa is there to lend her support and lead you in the right direction with her expertise but she truly encourages you to choose a dress for yourself. Vassa helped me find by dream Fairytale dress that I believed only existed in my head. The dress was affordable and exactly what I always pictured myself wearing on my wedding day. Vassa and her store are truly one of a kind and the type of personal experience every bride should have while dress shopping. Thank you Vassa!

the process personal and special. She is so knowledgable in her field and takes the worry out of everything dealing with your dress. I knew I was in good hands and my dress was perfect! I loved everything about my experience with Cassa and I highly recommend stopping by her shop!

from Vassa) sent me to her shop. Vassa was so helpful and not pushy at any point of the process. She suggested such perfect dresses for me to try on. In fact, the dress that she was most excited for me to try on and I was least excited to try on wound up being the dress that I loved the most! She absolutely knows what will look good on her clients. Vassa was so accommodating with fittings and trying on the dress. When my bridesmaids came in from out of state, Vassa always let me bring them to the shop so that I could try on my gown and veil for them. She was so calming and gave such great advice to make sure that I was not stressed at all throughout my wedding planning. She remembered my mother's name and my bridesmaid's names every time we went! I am bringing my best friend to Vassa next weekend to look for her bridal gown because we would love to work with Vassa again.

uccessfully searching for a gown at a number of stores on the island, Wedding Dresser Couture was finally recommended to me by a family friend. From the moment I walked in I felt like I was Vassa’s #1 priority. Since all appointments are private appointments I had Vassa’s undivided attention, and she was knowledgeable, patient, sweet and funny-really just wonderful all around. She truly listened to what I had to say and did not pressure me or rush me as other stores had. When I went back a 2nd time to try on the dress I had liked I felt extremely comfortable saying yes to the dress! From then on everything went as smooth as could be. My dress and veil arrived on time and I actually enjoyed every fitting appointment. Vassa’s professionalism and attention to detail not only made me extremely confident, but extremely excited as well. I knew my dress would fit perfectly, and sure enough it did. Thanks to Vassa I felt like the most beautiful girl in the world on my wedding day, and that feeling is something every girl deserves to experience! Thanks Vassa!!!

viding such incredible service during this exciting time. Here is a breakdown of my favorite things about Wedding Dresser Couture: The business: It's a small business, which is something I value in supporting in today's world and economy. Small businesses like this one are exactly what a future bride should look for when searching for a dress. You want to feel like a bride, not just a number or a generic customer. Vassa makes you feel like family in her store. The store itself is simply beautiful with a gorgeous full mirror and huge windows to provide you with natural lighting. The owner: Vassa is a perfect balance of personable, professional, and downright fun. She makes sure that you feel valued and heard while in her store. She locks the front door, so there are no distractions from your appointment. She even offers you a glass of water while dress shopping, and a glass of wine when you say "yes". :) Simply the best. I left each appointment with a huge smile on my face knowing that the dress will be perfect. One less thing to worry about for the big day. The fittings: Both Vassa and D listen to exactly the needs of the bride. I felt so comfortable giving my honest opinion and collaborating with them to make my dress look its best and me feel my best. They are so attentive to detail and will never overlook something that needs to be altered or modified. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G about Wedding Dresser Couture is amazing. I highly, highly recommend using this wonderful small business when buying your dress for your big day!

as recommended to Vassa and found that you have an appointment where the store is all to you (and whom ever you want to bring), I made an appointment. We gave Vassa our budget and she stuck to it. She helped me in and out of every dress and carefully placed each dress back on the hangers. She cares about all her clients and all of her dresses. Another thing I appreciated, was that she listened to what I was saying. At other wedding shops I would tell the bridal consultants " I don't like this dress because ... " but then 5 minutes later they would hand me another dress with the same reason I didn't like the one before it. Vassa never did this. She knows all of her dresses and was able to pick and sort through them based on my requests. Vassa is also very accommodating. I ended up picking my dress up on a day that she was closed, but she came into the shop just so that I could pick my dress up. I absolutely am in love with my dress and the way that it fit. I had three dress fittings and each time she made me dance around in it, walk around and sit. She wanted to make sure I was comfortable, and I definitely was!

lls are exquisite and her alterations were amazing.

and headpieces; all excellent quality with rich fabrics. It is an intimate shopping experience where you have their full attention. Vassa is a warm wonderful person who is excited for you from the beginning of your search. I had some special requests that required expert tailoring and they delivered beyond my expectations. I actually enjoyed visiting the shop for shopping and alterations; it was truly a special process there. I would highly recommend them to every bride.
