Arnaldo Joseph Bridal — Local services in Concord

When envisioning my wedding dress experience (shopping, altering, designing, etc.) I could not have dreamed of a better experience than what AJ provided me. AJ's decade plus of designing experience provided me with a show room full of beautiful and elegant dresses to try on in a private and relaxed atmosphere with my family while sipping champagne and laughing. When trying dresses on, AJ listened carefully…honing in on what parts of dresses I liked and didn’t. He would take skirts from one dress and put them on tops of another dress to create, in real time, brand new dresses that would not only fit my body in the most flattering ways, but also incorporate my favorite design features (IE: beading, trains, etc.). In the end, I purchased a fully customized dress from AJ that fit in my budget…something I never dreamed possible. All night long at my wedding, guests, bridal party members, and family members commented on how stunning and well-fitting my dress was. My dress was strapless and not once did I need to fix/adjust my dress as I danced the night away at my 10 hour wedding/after party. This was thanks to AJ's knowledge and expertise in designs and alterations. In addition to creating my dress, AJ created a stunning mother of the bride dress for my mum. When shopping for dresses at big department stores, my mother and I felt that the MOB dresses were made from scratchy and stiff fabrics and the cuts of the dresses were old and unflattering looking. My mom wanted to feel confident and beautiful on my big day and AJ delivered just that and so much more. At our first appointment with AJ, he identified the cut/shape of my mother's dress to ensure she felt confident and then shipped in different fabric samples for her to pick from. When the first draft of my mother's dress was completed, we could not believe the beauty AJ had created. The fabric we selected had detailed linear beading that required dress seams to be perfectly connected or the dress would look messy/uneven--every seam on the dress was perfectly sewed, not a bead out of place creating for a seamless and sophisticated pattern. Everyone at the wedding commented on how beautiful and timeless my mother's dress was and inquiring where she bought it, as she must have acquired it abroad in Italy or France due to its high end appearance and feel. At the end of my wedding, my mum commented to me how thankful she was that we found AJ for both of our dresses and I couldn't have agreed with her more! Brides and MOB/MOGs, I cannot recommend AJ enough--he makes you feel beautiful and confident, while providing gorgeous and...

This review is long overdue but I cannot say how amazing it was to work with Arnaldo to get my perfect fairytale dress. From the moment I first called him to the day of my wedding he was there to help in anyway he could to make me feel so beautiful on my big day. I remember my first call to him letting him know that unfortunately I couldn’t make my appointment due to feeling ill. He in the kindest way let my know to not worry and he’d happily set up another time for me to come in and just to call and let him know. His kindness had me call him back later that day and he said that I could still come in that day!! My mother and I went and he worked so well with us to talk about how I wanted to feel on my wedding and my personal wants for the dress. I was so impressed that he didn’t want me to just buy any dress but wanted to customize it to be my dream dress. I unfortunately didn’t give him a lot of time as I didn’t realize making a dress would take so long but he assured me not to worry and that he’s never had a bride go without! The dress I asked for was a princess style with a sweetheart cut and hand stitched crystals on the bust and train. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves but I have never seen a more beautiful dress in my life and it was mine!! He made it just perfect that on my wedding I truly felt like a princess and all my guests had the same sentiment. I do want to mention that getting something like this does have its price but it’s worth it to work with such an amazing person who has such a passion for what he does. Arnaldo not only made my dress but my mother in laws dress as well and she was absolutely thrilled with how she felt and looked in it. She was stunning! He also tailored my mom and sisters dresses to make them perfectly fit and have them feel and look beautifully as well. I 100% would recommend Arnaldo to anyone looking to have a custom or dress for any formal occasion. He was just amazing to work with. One of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and he really would do his all to make anyone feel wonderful. Oh I forgot to mention! He also made my beautiful veil which matched my dress perfectly! Thank you Arnaldo you really made my wedding that much...

Arnaldo Joseph is absolutely wonderful! My daughter’s wedding was just over a week ago and I couldn’t be happier with my mother of the bride dress!!! I received so many compliments! Even a vendor at the wedding asked where I purchased my dress and when I told her it was Arnaldo Joseph, she said “I should have known! The most beautiful dresses that I see are always from Arnaldo’s! It fits you perfectly!”. When sharing pictures from the wedding, everyone comments that the dress was gorgeous!

Before going to Arnaldo Joseph, I was getting discouraged and nervous after looking for months for a dress on-line and in bridal shops and stores. I then heard about Arnaldo Joseph, who came highly recommended by my mother’s friend. I reached out and made an appointment. Arnaldo made me feel so welcome and put me at ease. He listened carefully to what I was envisioning and offered several suggestions. He found 3 beautiful options and helped me to choose the perfect dress! He took care of the alterations to assure the dress fit beautifully. He also worked with me to find the perfect accessories! Everything made me feel elegant and special.

Arnaldo is incredibly talented and amazing to work with! He made finding my dress a wonderful experience from start to finish. I never felt rushed or pressured. He truly cares and wants to make people feel special on the big day! Honestly, Arnaldo is so sincere and one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. For any future events, I will definitely go back to...
