Maria's Bridal Designs

I found Maria by doing a google search and I am SO glad I did! I initially took my wedding dress that I had bought at another store to her to do just my simple alterations (take the waist in and do the bustle). From the first moment I walked in the store Maria and her staff were absolutely wonderful and very accomodating. They learn your name and make you feel like you are their most important customer everytime you walk in the door.

At my first fitting, I decided I didn't like my dress anymore because it was a halter and I felt like it was going to be uncomfortable and pulling on my neck too much. Maria walked to the back to grab some fabric and I asked one of her assistants if she thought Maria would be able to remove the halter and change it into a sweetheart neckline. Her response was "with Maria, anything is possible". Little did I know that those words would prove to be more than accurate. This was NOT a simple alteration at all on this particular dress. Not only did she have to remove the halter straps, but she also had to build the dress up a little more because it had a plunging neckline, and the dress has a lace overlay with beading so she had to add additional lace and beading. She also built in a corset that created a great hourglass shape in my fitted dress and the dress turned out absolutely amazing!

I now have a completely customized one-of-a-kind dress to wear on my special day next weekend. :-) I can not even begin to tell you how patient Maria was with me and she made sure that my dress was perfect in a very short period of time. She would not let me leave the store without reassuring me that my dress was going to be everything I envisioned it would be when I returned. I changed my mind on several occasions and she worked late to make the changes I wanted and I came back the next day and the dress was perfect.

If you need alterations or want a dress customized to be exactly what you envision your dress to be on your wedding day, I very highly recommend Maria's Bridal Designs. With Maria, anything truly is possible. She also has some beautiful dresses in her store as well.

Thanks so much Maria...you are one in a million!

Most wedding dresses are strapless and I was interested in a different top. Every wedding store I visited had seas of strapless gowns and so did Maria's Bridal BUT she is able to transform it into anything you want. I bought a strappless gown and Maria created a halter for me to match the dress and my style perfectly. My dress also required someone to lace up the back for me and my mom wasn't sure she could do it properly, so Maria came to help me into my gown on the day of my wedding!

Maria also provided a wonderful dress for my mom. It wasn't a typical Mother-of-the-Bride dress, but my mom looked gorgeous. The dress was sleeveless came with a shawl, but my mom felt like she needed more arm covering, so Maria designed a jacket for her from scratch. It was a gorgeous outfit that made my mom look and feel amazing.

Maria's goal is to make you look beautiful and she can create whatever is needed to make that happen. She will give you her opinions, but is very open to suggestions and will always do whatever makes the client feel most comfortable. Maria is a wonderful person and skilled designer.

My experience at Marias Bridal Boutique was a wonderful and great experience. I was so lucky that I finally got my dream dress from Maria's boutique. She is a very high professional designer so I didn't have to worry about the alterations I needed on my dress.
I highly recommend Maria's Bridal Designs.
Maria was an extremely caring person and a very professional seamstress.

Maria altered my wedding dress that was 2 sizes too big for me & it looked like it was made for me. I always felt confident that it was going to turn out perfect and I had to go back several times to get little things fixed and Maria was always willing to fix it with no complaints. Not to mention, she gave me the best quote on alterations of anyone I asked. The staff is friendly and very accomodating, unlike many other bridal shops. The level of service at this hidden gem is excellent, as is the level of skill. I would highly recommend checking this place out.
Thank you Maria & staff!!

I went to a few places to find the perfect dress before I happened upon Maria's. The shop is wonderful. Every time I came in I felt like their most important customer. Maria personally helped me find the perfect gown (Blue by Enzoani) and she did all of my alterations. Between purchasing the gown and my 2nd to last fitting, I dropped 10 pounds and 2 inches. Maria was able to alter my dress to fit me perfectly and you can't tell at all that she had to take it in so much. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone. The level of customer service, skill, hospitality and value is extremely high. Thank you Maria for everything! My wedding is in 4 days and I can't wait to wear your beautiful dress!!

Do you guys know how much the price range of the dresses there cost? Do they have petite sizes?
My wedding is on October 25th and I haven't found a dress that I like yet.

Maria's Bridal is by far the best bridal shop in the area. The owner Maria knows EXACTLY what she is doing. Her work is EXCELLENT and her prices are very fair. It was a great experience.

I went to Maria's expecting another wedding shop with dresses in bags, unfriendly customer service, and a small selection. But I was so impressed with how they treated me and the dresses were amazing. I went by myself and was unsure about making a decision, but they didn't pressure me to purchase a dress and in the end (after two visits) I decided on my dream dress!!! Maria helped make me feel soo comfortable and was willing to make any changes that I wanted to make to the dress. I highly recommend this store if you want great service, lots of choices, and one on one attention. Shes amazing.

I found Maria's Bridal somewhat by accident, and I'm so glad I did! Maria has created an intimate and homey setting and an innovative way of displaying wedding gowns. Forget those stores with hundreds of gowns in plastic that you can barely move around to see. Maria has a large selection of gowns, each on a mannequin for display! After going to two other bridal shops and being completely frustrated, I went to Maria's and was amazed that I could look around her shop and see all of the gowns as they would look on me. It's hard to imagine how much of a difference this makes until you see it firsthand, but it's a huge difference! Maria and her very professional and lovely staff were both helpful and knowledgeable, which was especially good for me, since I am extremely indecisive! I had only my dad shopping with me, and Maria and her staff made me feel like I had a mom and sisters there with me too! The gowns there are beautiful (there were so many I liked, it was hard to decide!); of wonderful quality; and, better yet, reasonably priced! Maria said she could even make a gown from scratch for me if I didn't see anything there I liked, but I did! I was so happy with the service there that I recommended the store to a friend of mine, who is also getting married in 2009. She went there first and left with a wedding gown, bridesmaids dresses, and even shoes! I've never written a comment for anything before, so I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't feel Maria's Bridal deserves it. Try it; you won't be disappointed!!!
