Grace Loves Lace - New York Bridal Boutique — Local services in New York

Grace Loves Lace made my bridal dress buying experience so easy and seamless.  First, pretty much all of the dresses in the store are under $5,000 so very budget friendly!  They have veils, earrings, belts - all kinds of chic and stylish accessories to try on!  None of the dresses are heavily beaded, have boning, zippers, padding, or much structure - so keep this in mind when going in.  These are dresses meant for comfort.  My dress did not have a zipper or even a single button.  It was the most comfortable dress, but it did require some creativity when selecting underwear (I just went with breast tape). You pre-select a few dresses that you are interested in and then start by donning a slip and getting measured and then your stylist brings out those dresses plus a few more suggestions.  I went around and actually chose a few more (and ended up choosing a dress completely different from anything I pre-selected). Once you choose your dress, it is not the standard - buy it big and alter it down. They make it for your size.  It's as close to custom as you can get without being custom.  For me, this means that once I took my updated measurements a few months out from my wedding and my dress was ordered, I didn't actually need alterations after delivery.  Yes, you read that correctly - I DIDN'T NEED ALTERATIONS! - savings in the thousands. As for the actual reviews - the space is incredible - super cute, spacious, clean and inviting.  Very millennial - you have enough space and privacy and don't feel on top of anyone.  It's really great.  And the team is to die for.  Everyone I worked with - in person and over the phone and email - was incredible.  All of my questions were answered quickly and efficiently, and the entire process was seamless and easy! I'd definitely recommend Grace loves Lace for a more easygoing and breezy bride who is looking for a dress without too much structure that is still going to...

I recently had an appointment (first appointment on a Saturday morning) and arrived 5 minutes early with my mom and 2 close friends. I had been following Grace Loves Lace for a while, knew they had the style I was going for, and dreamed I would be wearing one of their dresses to my own wedding. Upon arriving, the front desk assistant asked if I had an appointment, and said “you can look around while you wait for your stylist”, and not in any warm or friendly way. We started looking around. About 10-15 minutes go by, and no one checked in on us. We sat there in the lounge waiting, all thinking there was definitely a weird vibe. My stylist arrives, and asks us if we would like refreshments. My friend asks for both a water and champagne and the stylist responds “we’ll start with the champagne” and doesn’t bring her a water (??). We go to try on the first dress and the stylists asks what phase I’m in for dress shopping. I tell her this is my first appointment (while also feeling very nervous and anxious about it) and her immediate response is “I don’t recommend that.” After having to ask her WHY, she explained that I should have gone to a larger shop first and tried on many dresses and styles. This made me feel SO unwelcome, and like I had done something wrong. She eventually warmed up to me and my experience turned into “just ok”.

The same day, I had an appointment with Lovely Bride and LOVED my experience there (Kasi was a dream). I did not wind up buying my dress from either place, BUT I did wind up buying a boho-influenced full lace dress from the designer Wilderly by Allure Bridal. I loved the Grace Loves Lace dresses, but I would be lying if I said my experience at the store did not affect my decision-making. Giving them 3 stars / the benefit of the doubt, in the hopes they were having an off day.

Also just a note, the dresses are veryyy long at GLL but they do not offer a box to stand on (bring...

I am so appreciative of all that Grace Loves Lace has done for me throughout my wedding journey and I want to be able to give back in as many ways that I can.

I got married this past Friday, September 18th 2020 in Glacier National Park in Montana, USA.

I am from New York and I have been following GLL on social media for years. Once I got engaged, I booked an appointment straight away- I knew I had to wear one of your stunning gowns for my special day. The beauty and uniqueness can't be found anywhere else. Fast forward a few months: I got to visit the New York City Grace Loves Lace location where is where I was introduced to stylist, Gabby. Ever since that day, Gabby has been MY stylist. Gabby helped me find THE gown (The Emanuela). She was so friendly, down to earth, informative and REAL. She was able to grasp my vision from our very first encounters. Gabby exceeded my expectations on that day and she's been doing it ever since! We have stayed in touch over the past year and a half, as she's assisted me with SO much. When the NY location shut down due to COVID-19, Gabby not only helped me with my DIY measurements but she ensured me that everything would work out and really helped calm my nerves! Guess what? The dress ended up fitting beyond perfectly when it arrived in the mail (shipment was so quick and seamless, all the way from Australia!) And once the storefront opened back up, you bet I booked another appointment with her where she then helped me pick out a two piece set for my upcoming reception.

I am so so so grateful and appreciative of all that not only Gabby, but everyone at Grace Loves Lace, has done to make this an unforgettable and perfect experience. We flew out for our elopement this past week and the amount of compliments I received on my Emanuela gown was unreal.

I can't wait for my next event.. as GLL will be my first pick, always.

Highly,...
