La Mariee Haute Couture Bridal Boutique

I loved working with Kara. She was such a joy. We had so much fun and she helped me so much. She has a sparkling personality and made my experience unforgettable. I will send everyone I know to La Mariee because of Kara.

This is a gorgeous boutique in a part if town that gives the opportunity to lunch, shop, drink, gallery walk and drink... The best part of my experience was the treatment I received from the moment I walked on the door. I must add, I was in gym clothes and intimidated because of the pristine environment. I was welcomed, however and treated like a million bucks! Thanks so much!

Love the shoes that I got! (Angela Nuran). BUT, she had to order them from the company, which is the shoe company's policy (can't order directly from Angela Nuran), and it took so much longer to receive the shoes than she told me. I felt like I needed to contact La Mariee in order to move the process along. My shoes almost didn't arrive in time for my final dress fitting, and the seamstress would have killed me! But, I LOVED my shoes, so in the end, it was worth the wait.

Kara is wonderful! The dress I ended up pickng I thought was ugly on the hanger but she insisted I try it on and that was it! She had a local designer make me a copy of the dress for half the price, love her!

Kara was an absolute gem. She created a relaxed and friendly environment and made me feel at ease on the run up to my wedding day.

I had the most amazing experience with the La Mariee in Sarasota!
I was extremely impressed with Kara’s professionalism, styling and absolute amazingness! I can't thank her enough for everything! Kara completely styled my look for the day – everything from the dress, veil, and jewelry. My mom worked with Kara to surprise me with a matching bracelet for my necklace. She even recommended the Ana Molinari Salon for hair and make-up, which provided marvelous service as well.
Mirta, the seamstress, is amazing as well. I was a destination bride and came down for the weekend for my first fitting. I went to the shop on a Friday morning for my first fitting and within in 24 hours the adjustments were made and the bustle was pinned to see how it looked with my shoes. Also, Mirta made my veil which turned out beautifully! She is absolutely amazing!
I went to bridal boutiques in St. Pete, Tampa and the other bridal shops in Sarasota, even went in New York. I wasn’t able to find another place that had such a beautiful selection of quality dresses (read no polyester) at great prices with the most incredible service ever!
This is the best bridal boutique ever!!!!!

I cannot even begin to describe how fantastic my experience with La Mariee and Kara was!! We felt so welcome and comfortable, Kara was so so so helpful, and I loved loved loved my dress!!! Kara was so patient with me, and her seamstress was a miracle worker! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I absolutely loved working with Kara and Mirta at La Mariee. Kara was unbelievably helpful and professional from the minute I met her and by the end I felt like she was one of my good friends. Mirta ended up picking out my dress and transforming into something more beautiful than I ever could have imagined - she is truly a genius. Kara was also incredibly fun to work with and see every few weeks and would call me every step of the way to make sure I was happy with the work that was being done. She was also amazing in keeping to the budget we had talked about and even though my alterations went over she didn't charge me extra than what we had agreed on. I absolutely love my wedding dress and would recommend this boutique to anyone!

The minute I walked into La Mariee and met Kara Nally, I knew I would find my dream dress AND that I had also found the added bonus of the best salon in town right next door! I was a long distance bride (from Los Angeles) getting married in Sarasota, and I was very nervous about finding my wedding dress and figuring out the logistics of getting alterations. Thanks to Kara and Mirta at La Mariee my wedding dress experience couldn't have been more perfect from start to finish! The minute you walk into the shop, you know you are in knowledgeable, honest and fun hands! I went to other stores (that shall remain nameless) but it was obvious that I would never find as nice a dress or such wonderful service anywhere else. I couldn't have been happier or felt more beautiful on my wedding day thanks to my experience at La Mariee Haute Couture Bridal Boutique and Ana Molinari Salon!

I am the mother of the bride! I visited La Mariee on the off chance that I might find something that did not scream MOB!!! Kara was amazing. By my second visit to the shop she had selected several dresses that fit my expectations. My daughter came down from NY to see what I was raving about. It took only a few minutes for her to OK Kara's choice for me. This was followed by a suggestion for the mother of the groom!!! We bought two dresses in that one afternoon. When you have a great saleperson, great selections, good taste and someone who spends time listening and getting to know the customer, buying the most important dress of your life is easy!!!!

This is a wonderful boutique! Lana is amazing and really made my dress experience exciting and easy. I was taken great care of and Lana's suggestions and input were honest and helpful. The selection is unique and ranges from reasonably priced gowns to high fashion gowns. Their accessories are beautiful and their bridesmaid dresses are equally stunning.
