I just had an amazing experience at Maria's Bridal Couture. Deena helped me find my PERFECT wedding dress today. She made me feel comfortable the whole time, paid attention to what I was looking for and made suggestions of different dresses I might be interested in, and was just so nice in general. The one on one attention I received with my mom, sister, and future mother-in-law from Deena was icing on the cake. Other bridal shops will have 1 consultant working with a couple of different groups, but not here and I really really appreciated that. I let her know what my budget was and she respected it fully. This day of wedding dress shopping made me feel so special and Maria's Bridal Couture is a big reason why I felt so special. Any bride thinking about going here should because you won't be upset that you did!!!

Let me start by saying that I did not end up purchasing my dress from Maria's. However, I had a great experience with Dina (Deena? Sorry! She did not have a business card!). When we walked in I was initially worried b/c Dina seemed so young and we were asked to choose from photos of dresses in a binder instead of looking at gowns on the floor. However, Dina pulled the first four dresses from my selection and from there very quickly picked up on what I liked and was reacting to, and chose some really beautiful gowns on her own. Don't be fooled by her age; she is informed and understands and listens to her clientele. She then pulled a gorgeous dress that I was very excited about. Dina offered me the same-day 10% off discount if I were to buy the dress that day, or even carry that over until the following Monday, since she knew I was traveling back to Chicago the next day. Ultimately, the dress ended up being a little more than I was comfortable spending and I found a better option for myself elsewhere. Overall, I had a great experience at Maria's and with Dina. Thank you!

So I usually forget to write reviews (or am honestly too lazy) but Nadista at Maria's Bridal Couture was so amazing that I have been waiting to rave about her!!!!
My husband and I decided to elope rather fast. Naturally, my first concern was "how the hell am I going to be able to find a dress in time?!". Nadista made it possible. I called her asking if she had cheaper floor samples she was trying to sell because we were on a tight budget. I knew this may be a long shot because it is a couture salon and to me that means $$$. She did note that she had a couple and would love to meet with me. While the really inexpensive spare gowns she had were beautiful we were all in agreement they were not for me. As I was readying myself to leave the store I spotted this gorgeous Liancarlo gown from last season screaming my name. I immediately looked away since I knew I would never be able to afford it. Naditsa swooped in and said that she was going to try her hardest to make the price work for me as she believes every bride deserves the gown she wants. I was not able to have my mother attend my dress hunt but with Nadista, I felt as though I had a loving family member present. She made it possible for me to get the dress of my dreams and was truly an integral part of making my wedding dreams come true. There is no reason to ever visit another bridal store--because Nadista at Maria's definitely has the dress for you!

Earlier this year, I went searching for my wedding dress and this salon exceeded my expectations immensely. I visited the store because of the Atelier Aimee lines they carried. I explained to an employee what I was looking for, which was a bit out of the oridinary. She got on the phone with the owner/manager, Nadista (sp?), and helped make my dream a reality and customize my wedding dress. I was able to mix different tops with different bottoms and add the black details that I desperately had to have. The gorgeous dress not only came in on time, but it was exactly what I wanted and they also helped with the alterations. I came back for a few fittings and each time I was greeted with the kind of service that is hard to come by these days, it was amazing! Out of every vendor I worked with for my wedding, Nadista and Maria's Bridal Couture was hands down the best.
