Iāve had the most amazing experience working with Natalia at Svetlana Bridal Shop. Back in the fall I came in alone, starting my dress search with no idea where to start. Nataliaās experience quickly narrowed down a few styles for me and she helped me breeze through try-ons for over a dozen dresses during my private appointment in her bright, cheery shop.
We decided a custom style, pulling inspiration from a few gowns, was best for my unique vision. She was so talented and quickly sketched up a sample for me and took measurements. Contract signed and payment up front, all I had to do was wait for their skilled seamstresses to do their magic.
Turmoil in Eastern Europe delayed the arrival of my dress since it was caught up in customs with significant shipping delays through Feb/March. Natalia proactively communicated updates to me and moved mountains to get my dress to NY on time, with a backup dress tailored for me and ready to go just in case. 7 days before the wedding, we were thrilled that my original dress arrived and Natalia personally hand sewed a few final adjustments for me while I was in the shop, making sure I had peace of mind and left with my beautiful dress in hand.
Friends and family commented all weekend that my dress was like a fairytale, that I looked like a princess, and that it was incredibly special. Nothing off the shelf would have made such an impression, and Iām so grateful that Natalia and her team were able to make our wedding so magical. For anyone looking for a personalized experience, peace of mind, and something special - Natalia can make it...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI visited Svetlana Couture on President's Day, grateful they were open and available since I was having work done on my car and had some time to kill. I previously only tried dresses on at David's Bridal, but knew I needed to try on more dresses to find The One. My first impression of the boutique was that it was very small, but they offer a unique variety of options exclusive to the boutique, designed by Svetlana, I learned. Natalia made me feel very comfortable, and after showing her a few dress pics, she pulled about 5 dresses. When trying them on, each dress was pretty in its own way, some more flattering on me than others, but near the end, Natalia decided to pull a 2 piece-dress, consisting of a strapless sweetheart lacy corset and ruffled skirt. It had no train, which is exactly what I wanted. I was trying to avoid alterations, and the dress fit me perfectly! I was also trying to stick to my budget, so Natalia let me buy the floor sample in order to get it closer. I do wish it was still a little less expensive, that would be my only gripe. I didn't buy the dress on the spot, as I had an appointment to go to Amelia's Boutique right afterwards, but after a disappointing selection of options there, I came back to Svetlana Couture and purchased the dress! I'm very happy that I have this important piece of the wedding process completed, and that it met my needs. I'm also happier supporting a local business, rather than the giant wedding industry machine. I highly recommend...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI initially encountered Svetlana Bridal through the White Plains Bridal Show. I was able to see dresses and I instantly felt relieved because I finally found a designer who made the style I have been looking for! When I made an appointment, Natalia is such a sweet, caring, and patient person. She was able to spend the amount of time I needed to find the PERFECT dress for me on my wedding day. I have to say that this was not a typical bridal shopping experience because I have stopped at different places and none of them took the time to cater to what I needed and asked for to make the process easier. Svetlana Bridal was able to provide the time, understood my vision, and would be honest when asked for her opinion. The material of the dresses are SO beautiful and unique. Everyone on my wedding day asked me about the lace used on my dress and complimented on how much it sparkled and shined under the sunlight. My veil was also purchased here and my oh my, such a BEAUTIFUL, extravagant, light weight and delicate piece. I was in LOVE with my wedding dress and veil and I continue to look back at my wedding photos and smile at how perfect everything came together. I am so grateful to have found Svetlana Bridal and I hope that you future brides have a similar experience. I HIGHLY recommend you stop by and check out their wedding dresses. Hope this...
