Viero Bridal

Viero bridal is the perfect place to buy beautiful wedding dresses. I went to the NY showroom when it first opened and Vira helped me pick the perfect dress. The entire process was very simple and Vira made sure everything went smoothly and stress free with any of the changes I made to my dress. The gowns are all stunning and if you are looking for luxury unique dresses this is the place to go! I received so many compliments on my gown and I am so grateful to have met Vira, she truly is amazing!

I found this place from one of my friends! After a few dresses we found the perfect one. We made some changes, so it could be more stunning! Viera gave me more suggestions, so the dress could be more perfect!
Saturday is my wedding… Can’t wait to put on my dress!
Love this place… And recommend to everyone!!!

In love! I was so pleased to have come in contact with Viero. Viero Bridal saved my wedding!!!
The first, last and only dress I had tried on was a Riki Dalal gown. When I had started my wedding planning I was living in Miami and had gone to a bridal boutique in the area that carried Riki Dalal. I fell in love with the first dress I tried on, unfortunately it was completely out of my budget ($ 7000.00 out of my budget). I was so upset and was on the hunt for a similar dress or a sample sale. I looked for months online and in Miami. It wasn’t until I had moved to Massachusetts that I did a search for Riki Dalal boutiques in the area that I found Viero Bridal (New York boutique). I had called Viero inquiring about pricing and sadly told her my situation. She mentioned to me that she could rent me the dress if I was interested and just like a super hero she had saved the day (eh, my wedding). She sent me over a contract, took my payment over the phone, received my measurements for alterations and shipped me the dress in plenty of time for the big day. It was so simple and stress free. I received the dress 2 weeks before the wedding and had a slight issue with the alteration (I have big thighs). I notified Viero and she told me she would cover/​split the cost of the alterations since it would be more convent for me to get the alterations done in MA. I also left on a surprise getaway right after my wedding and called Viero to ask about extending my rental date until I came back. She had no problem accommodating me and allowed me to ship the dress back when I was in town. Viero sent me her FedEx account information and I shipped the dress back free of charge as well!
I could not ask for a more professional, understanding and helpful experience. Vira is amazing!

Viero Bridal is everything. I had been to a number of well-​respected bridal shops in Chicago before my appointment at Viero and I have to say that Viero was far and away the best of them all. The dresses are works of art, absolutely unique (worth every penny), completely customized for you, and Vira and Nadia are just the greatest people. The shop itself is also very nice and open and has great natural light. Unlike virtually every other bridal shop in the Chicago area, you literally have the place to yourself when you have an appointment at Viero. My family/​friends and I were the only ones in the shop for every single one of my appointments (3+). Vira and Nadia make the appointment about you, make you feel comfortable, don’t rush you and don’t try to sell you. I honestly had a blast. They are also incredibly flexible and will completely cater to your personal schedule, which really helps when you work long hours and waited to the last minute to buy a dress :) More than that, the designers and tailors they work with do an unbelievable job fitting the dress to your body and personal style. I received so many compliments on my dress and more than that, I was so comfortable in it. I planned to change into something easier to dance in later in the night but never took the dress off! Seriously brides, go to Viero. You won’t regret it.

Where to start?
My wedding dress shopping experience needed to be an efficient one, taking place over 2 days and in 6 stores around Chicago and Oak Brook. I live in London but am from Chicago and wanted to go shopping with my mom and sisters while home for a week in June. Viero Bridal was my fourth of six stops — but I knew I was done shopping as I left Vira and her store in Ukrainian Village behind.
Vira is both the store owner and a designer. She primarily carries Riki Dalal dresses and then designs her own dresses in tandem with Riki’s, who is a friend of hers. Before I went to Viero, I had three dress contenders (or so I thought). Then I tried on a few dresses at Viero and the third one I put on was IT. I went to my final two appointments but could not stop thinking about the dress at Viero — so much so that I asked to come back later that day. Vira stopped whatever she was doing to come back to her shop and let me traipse around in the dress a bit more, before officially buying it. She was 100% happy to customize the dress; changes we’re making include: exchanging the fitted skirt the dress comes with for a fuller one, moving the skirt zipper from the back to the side of the dress, adding a train to the skirt and adding paneling to the bodice of the gown. She didn’t charge me extra for any of these customizations. Not only is Vira happy to customize, she also told us she doesn’t believe a shop/​designer should charge for alterations when you’re ordering a custom-​made dress. This was a big plus in my book, as every other boutique quoted $ 400 – 900 for alterations alone. Additionally, Riki Dalal is a European designer, meaning she and Vira know plenty of shops in London where I can do my dress fittings. Vira was the only consultant of the six shops I visited that had a solution in mind for my tricky logistics. She is professional, capable and such a sweetheart — someone you want to be friends with. I am so happy I’ll be working with her over the next year to get the dress exactly right, particularly without having to worry about being nickel and dimed.
The Gold Coast shops in Chicago are more well-​known — and I visited those too. The dresses were beautiful and the consultants were sweet at Mira, Ultimate Bride, Bella Bianca, etc. But for me, Vira’s attention to detail and complete focus on the customer (we were the only people in her shop during both visits) put her above and beyond the rest. Vira brought out champagne to celebrate finding the dress in what could have been a very stressful 48-​hour period; by the time we left the store, she really did feel like an old friend. I’m so excited to wear a dress that is not only 100% «me», but is also something no other bride will wear. Thank you so much, Vira!

My experience with Vira and Viero Bridal was absolutely an impeccable one. They are a fabulous full-​service bridal salon that not only worked with me on a very short time line, but delivered my dress fully altered to perfection and my veils created with great quality tulle and precise in length. They have a ton of dresses to pick from different designers and styles, in a variety of price ranges. Mine happen to be from Riki Dalal (1402 from the Toscanna collection), and I adored it. Extremely high quality and attention to every detail!
Vira was such a dream to work with. Not only was she receptive to addressing my every concern, but she is a sweet, smart, sincere person. I would HIGHLY recommend Vira and her boutiques in Chicago and NYC for all of your bridal needs!

Viero Bridal and Vira deserve a 5 star review!!! This is a class A place due to the quality of the service and professionalism. Vira was beyond sweet and attentive to my needs. She selected gorgeous material to make me a custom dress and had a sketch done according to what I told her I wanted. The dress turned out exactly as I wanted it and even better!!! I got so many compliments on it at my sister’s wedding and it’s all thanks to Vira and Viero Bridal! I cannot recommend them more!!!

I can not say enough about how great this place is! Vira was so helpful and accommodating to our group. My friend and I were both shopping for wedding dresses, and she could not have made us feel more special. The whole experience felt like what you see in a movie; there were strawberries, chocolates, champagne, and cappuccino available and we were the only ones in the boutique so it felt very personal.
Vira made sure to take the time to talk to both of us before we started pulling dresses so she could get a feel for what we like and what the style for each of our weddings were. The Riki Dalal dresses were amazing! They were all so beautifully constructed and unique. They are very flattering when you put them on as well, he definitely knows designs these dresses with a women’s shape in mind.
Other boutiques seemed weird about having both of us try on dresses and made us a feel a bit rushed. But Vira made sure to have enough time set aside for us. I even had the opportunity to try dresses on a second time after my friend finished with her choices.
Vira really goes above and beyond to work with you to make sure that you get exactly what you want. They did not have a dress that I was interested in trying on available in the store, but I was able to meet up with Vira at a trunk show in LA the following weekend. She personally worked with me to make sure all of my concerns were addressed. I couldn’t be happier with my experience here and I will be recommending Viero to all my friends.

What an incredible experience! My friend and I are both getting married so we planned a trip to this shop so we could try on dresses. When we arrived Vira had champagne, strawberries and chocolates ready for our group. She was so incredibly helpful and laid back. She let us take our time and never made either of us feel rushed.
Every dress in the store is simply remarkable. I wanted to take them all home with me! Every bride wants their dress to be unique and distinctive. That is exactly what the dresses at Virero are! Most of them are designed by Riki Dalal (and I can’t remember the other designer Vira mentioned, but they were equally as impressive). One thing I loved is that the samples actually fit me (they were only slightly large on me but fit for the most part). I am 5’1″ and 110lbs so many other dress shops have to clip the gowns in the back, which makes envisioning the dress difficult.
The average price range is $ 4000-​$ 6000. Most of the two piece dresses seemed to be about half the cost of the one piece gowns. If these dresses are in your price range this place is 100% worth a visit. Street parking is readily available right in front of the shop.

Best Customer Service! I live in Los Angeles and the bridal store is in Chicago. Vira flew to Los Angeles for my measurements and I had my dress in less than two weeks. I have nothing but good things to say!
