Wedding Dresser Couture By Vassa

Words cannot even express how amazing Vassa is. I went to the big bridal salons in NYC before tracking down «the dress» at Wedding Dresser Couture. From the moment I stepped in, Vassa made the experience so personal and amazing. Everything with her was so easy, and she works around your schedule. She makes you feel so special. Vassa really takes care of every little detail, leaving you with absolutely nothing to worry about. Even the bustle that she created for my dress was perfect, and the bridal attendant at my venue said that she had never seen a bustle that was so easy to figure out. My dress was perfect on my wedding day, and I will forever be in love with it. Vassa is amazing, and I would recommend her to every single bride that I know!

First let me start off by saying… I know it’s a long review but DEFINITELY WORTH THE READ!
Second, but more importantly; I am a plus size bride, well finding a dress my size is NOT easy. I went to a place in Freeport where naturally I knew they had plus size dresses, but I was not sold as so since they were only able to show me ONE dress because everything else was mermaid and just not unique. I’m a curvaceous plus size bride (to say the least) Aside from that the woman (owner) ended up telling me that she wouldn’t have time to order my dress and that she was not losing sleep as she had done in the past years on rush orders (nevertheless my wedding was about 8 – 9 months away at that time)
My sister who also happens to be my matron of honor, was so discouraged with that place after she saw how disappointed I was and had definitely lost the happiness of finding that dream wedding dress! As I felt I had to settle for that «ONE») As upset as she was she began to search on the Internet for bridal places near us. She placed a call to Vassa and told her what what we experienced and set an appointment. I then met Vassa! She was wonderful and welcoming. She pulled dresses that although we’re not my size and even as I assured her they would not fit she would just say beautiful encouraging words and every dress I tried on she made sure she helped me feel comfortable and I did, I felt beautifu in everyone. She accommodated my mother and never once made a sour face or had a negative word to say!
Finally, when I said yes to my dress (which was THE FIRST dress I tried on there) my mother, my matrons of honor, my bridesmaid and I enjoyed a nice delicious glass of wine to celebrate!
My mother, sisters and I have seen beautiful dresses displayed on the window and have always said how beautiful they were. Never in a million years did I think I’d be purchasing a dress from here!
YOU MUST GO AND EXPERIENCE THIS WONDERFUL FEELING. :)
Thank you Vassa!

First off as my life has shown me, everything happens for a reason. I went to one prior bridal salon which was great but I didn’t find that «It» dress. I actually was recommended this bridal salon by the receptionist at the doctors office I was getting an emergency root canal! And thank goodness for that root canal! First off what a bridal experience. Vassa had one appointment at a time. Which means you are the main focus and u can have an intimate time with your family and friends. Second she is gifted. The First dress she put me in, was «The Dress!!!» Holy moly when I stepped out in this dress my mother who had no other expression on every other dress I tried on says «wow!» And she was flexible o the price! Which gave me the option to do a dream of mine. Have a reception dress! I went back a second time and found my reception dress again. She was not pushy and so comforting in the entire process. She treats you like a queen. Future Brides Go here! You have nothing to lose!

Bought my wedding dress and veil, my mom’s dress and my grandmother’s dress from Vassa and couldn’t be happier! I went to another store first but didn’t find what I loved AND it was more expensive. She was reasonable and I LOVED my dress! I wasn’t even going to try on that style but when I described what I wanted, she knew I would love it. Every time you walked in, she made you feel like a million bucks! and she was so patient with all the fittings – always ran on time and arranged appointments around my schedule since I worked long hours. She built up my sleeves (made it from strapless to permanent sleeves) and you would NEVER know – she did an unbelievable job! I loved that you always dealt with Vassa for everything!

The whole shop to yourself which is awesome. Her dresses are in pristine condition. I will say that she was a little snippy with my cousins that came with me and wouldn’t let them breathe on the dresses. I think the quality she could provide is excellent, but if you had a different vision for your dress than her, she kind of tries to put her view on you. She wouldn’t tell the prices out loud, which isn’t the worst thing, but she also wouldn’t say who the designers of the dresses were. Overall I didn’t mind the experience, but I didn’t end up getting my dress there. I think she would have been good at alterations.

Vassa was the first and last place I looked for my wedding dress. She is amazing. She closes the whole store just for you and makes you feel like the most special bride that you are. Her dresses are gorgeous and she is not pushy but knows her stuff very well. She always greeted my whole family with a hug hello and goodbye. If it was one aspect of wedding planning that I didn’t worry about it my dress and that is all because of Vassa. I knew I was in good hands, Vassa is a true gem.

I couldn’t be happier or more excited with my dress. Vassa is amazing. The entire store closes down so you have all of her attention (it is 1 bride at a time). She picked out a ton of dresses for me to try on amd she helped me in and out of each one amd had me walk around and model them for my mom amd bridesmaids. Once I made a decision, she popped a bottle of champagne and we all toasted. Alterations have also been a breeze. My wedding is in November and I cannot wait to put my dress on. Highly highly recommended.

I had a wonderful experience at Wedding Dress Couture by Vassa from my first visit through the day I picked up my beautiful wedding gown. Vassa has spectacularly beautiful dresses and headpieces; all excellent quality with rich fabrics. It is an intimate shopping experience where you have their full attention. Vassa is a warm wonderful person who is excited for you from the beginning of your search. I had some special requests that required expert tailoring and they delivered beyond my expectations. I actually enjoyed visiting the shop for shopping and alterations; it was truly a special process there. I would highly recommend them to every bride.

Over priced, destroyed my dress with alterations and changed the entire look of my gown.
