Vera Wang

I absolutely loved my wedding dress. I bought the first dress I tried on at Vera Wang, the first full day I tried on dresses, and I am so glad I did. I had a clear picture of what I wanted: a romantic, soft ephemeral look, modified A-Line, that had enough lift so it would fit the large venue where we had our wedding. Lori was my sales person, and she was so helpful and let me try on a ton of options, without being pushy. A luxurious, personal experience- very opposite from the one I had at the next place I went- Kleinfelds. I was surprised that Vera had a range of prices, not as expensive as some of the other designers I'd seen- and she really did seem to have something for every bride.I took advantage of the trunk-show discount, 10% off the dress and a generous amount towards accessories, and bought a beautiful crystal sash, that truly made the dress for me.The dress was a beautiful silk organza, light, and comfortable and perfect fitting. For the fittings, I worked with Christian and Mandy. They were so helpful, professional, patient, and sweet, and fit my dress perfectly to me. Christian helped me choose my cage veil as well, and carefully coordinated delivery of the dress. The tailor Mandy is a true artist.Overall, I had an impeccable experience with Vera Wang, and achieved my perfect look- absolutely loved my dress and felt my most beautiful in it.

I LOVED the personal shopping experience I experienced at Vera. Every single person on staff is professional and kind in demeanor. The fittings were done in a private room where I was not distracted by other brides (quite common at other establishments) and allowed me to take in the whole experience. I never felt rushed, I always felt like THE bride, not just one of many. :)

Amazing amazing amazing. Worth every penny and I will cherish the dress forever. Staff were exceptionally helpful and professional at every point.

The best place to shop for a wedding gown. Loved working with Maria DelValle. She is great and will try to accommodate you in every way she can and if you are looking for something excellent , glamourous and elegant , this is the best place to go and ask for Maria but they are all great.

Beautiful dress but fittings and veils were expensive. Dress was gorgeous for the price. It is a lot more reasonable than one thinks.

We went into Vera Wang just to look. My mother and I had no intention of buying a dress. But when I tried on the Diana dress, we knew it was the one. I thought the person helping us was very accommodating and gave us the space we needed to make this difficult decision. While the dress was much more money than I intended on spending, I truly believe that 1) it was a low price for the quality/workmanship of the dress and 2) it was worth every penny.Alterations went well. The seamstress was lovely and very skilled. I didn't care for the consultant much at Vera Wang Maids (where they do the alterations) as she wasn't responsive or helpful - - but really all I cared about was the seamstress and if she was able to make the necessary alterations. She did a BEAUTIFUL job, and the dress fit like a dream. GORGEOUS dress.

I LOVE the NY branch!! This is where I bought my wedding dress. Maria LaValle helped me find the perfect dress. I never felt rushed or stressed or that I was a burden on my consultant while being in their store. The lighting in the store is a little darker than it should be, but that's my only complaint.

I bought my dress at Vera Wang in New York City and could not be happier about my purchase. I found the perfect dress at the bridal salon--gorgeous, unique, and painstakingly crafted.Every step of the way, the service was impeccable. All of the people that I worked with were true professionals, and the seamstress did an absolutely amazing job to ensure that the dress fit like a dream.Of course, the drawback is that Vera Wang is expensive, but I do believe that every penny I spent was well worth it. The craftsmanship was unlike anything that I saw from any other designer.

My daughter bought her wedding dress and the bridesmaid's dresses at Vera Wang in NYC, but the wedding was at Castle Hill, Ipswich Mass. The dress was seen first at Saks in NYC and they only had a size 3 to try on so we went directly to Vera Wang and fell in love. The fitting was like we had never seen...every detail attended to. Certainly pricey, but worth it. It was the centerpiece of the wedding with the embroidery's design used on paper products, cake design, etc... They were accomodating at all times. The only problem was the local Vera Wang's were not good to each bridesmaid (shipped dresses to them for local alterations) as they had not sold the original dress. Not a good policy as it leaves a bad taste in the mouths of 6 girls all about to be married! But our experience was all positive.

She designed the most perfect Wedding Gown. It was perfect and beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous Dress!

I loved the whole experience of getting my dress at Vera Wang. One thing I would say is they definitely have had a lot of staff changes recently and the girl Andrea who I originally bought my dress from left soon after. Getting it tailored across the street was wonderful and Christian and Mandy made me feel completely comfortable. Getting my dress tailored was one of the best experiences of the wedding process and it came out gorgeous!

They worked with me being pregnant and having to change dresses and sizes. The dress looked beautiful and fit right on the day of the wedding.

I loved my dress. The saleswoman, Lori, was great and made the whole experience fun. She knew I had a budget that only allowed a certain few of their dresses, and she never made me feel bad about that. The only thing that took longer than promised was a swatch sample. Christian and Mandy who coordinated and did my fittings were exceptional.

The dresses at Vera Wang were to die for! The staff was wonderful, and extremely helpful in helping me find the perfect dress, the entire fitting process was seamless, and they included little extras like information on preserving your dress and veil, as well as a very generous discount with Madame Paulettes (the best dress cleaner in New York!). When I recieved my dress, the fit was PERFECT and I felt beautiful all night!

I had the opposite experience than hps. I went to NY expecting a difficult process but Vera Wang Bridal House was a great expectation. Once you get there, it's like a fairy tale. They put you in these gorgeous gowns and make you feel like a princess. Shopping at stores in San Francisco, there wasn't an experience like the one I got a VW. Well worth the 5 hour plane ride across the US.

I was a princess. The dress fit me like a glove and was just so beautiful. I want to wear it again and again and again.

What can I say, it's Vera Wang! It was an amazing experience from beginning to end. By the end I felt that I had a custom made dress that fit me like a glove. I'll never forget how special I felt trying on dresses the very first time and then the entire alteration process. If it's something you can afford, don't hesitate - you'll never regret spending the money!

A Vera Wang wedding gown. What a fairy tale right? WRONG! I found my dress while visiting my maid of honor in Atlanta, GA. We had decided to look for bridesmaids gowns, so we went to the most highly recommended location, Bridal by Lori. I admit that the store was beautiful and there are many designers to choose from, but the staff there is VERY snobbish, so don't expect quality service unless you intend to BUY THAT DAY. I tried on my gown and immediately fell in love with it. It was absolutely perfect for my style and the theme of the wedding. I looked at the price tag and felt faint, but I knew that this had to be my wedding gown. When I returned to New Jersey, I tried to find a shop that would carry that same dress. To my dismay, Vera Wang in NYC was the only store that carried that particular gown. I began saving. When I had 50% saved up, I made my way to NYC . I was not impressed by Vera Wang's flagship store. It is small and you would expect a more ornate scene. To my dismay, it was quite plain. I was helped by Anna who was very pleasant, but then again, she knew I was BUYING not LOOKING. I took my sister along as I was expecting an "experience". I did not receive one. It was like any other purchase. I did not feel special, and I was not treated like this was a very exciting purchase. I might as well have been buying a $6,000 cup of coffee. I suppose Vera Wang brings in the very wealthy clientele, but I was disappointed. I made the deposit and was set up for three fittings across the street at their bridesmaids store. The first time I went, my sister and I decided to choose bridesmaids dresses. We were helped by a lovely girl who was supposed to take care of me throughout the rest of my Vera Wang experience. I e-mailed her all of my bridesmaids sizes and requested swatches, but did not hear back for over three weeks. When I did hear from Vera Wang, I was informed that my contact was no longer working for the company but I would be taken care of by a new assistant. To make a very long frustrating story short, I got bridesmaids dresses late, one bridesmaids dress never arrived and I was not compensated for the mistake. My dress was beautiful, but the price was high for terrible service.

My bridesmaids and I visited the Vera Wang Bridesmaids salon. To begin with, the appointment was difficult to make even though I called months in advance. I understand that the designer's product is high in demand but did not appreciate the curtness of the receptionist who took my appointment.

My girls and I arrived on time and still had to wait about 20 minutes. Once we were led into the showroom we were shocked at how unorganized and messy everything was. The boutique in no way reflected the image of Vera Wang's name. Our sales associate told us we could only select four gowns at a time to try on and for each one we didn't like we could pick another. I found this to be both unprofessional and poor time management - it reminded me of being at a sample sale.

The associate would not let us take photos of the girls in the dresses and was quite pushy about only letting us have a certain amount of time with each dress. I assume this is because the boutique OVERbooks appointments. There are only two mirrors for everyone to share in the dressing room, extremely insufficient for there were at least 15 - 20 girls in the showroom at once.

The dresses were extremely poor in quality and ill-fit. There were girls of all different shapes and sizes in the dressing room and very few looked good in these dresses.

I was extremely disappointed in the Vera Wang bridesmaids experience and have strongly advised my engaged friends not to visit the boutique. It was a waste of time!

Beautiful

I found my dress within minutes and what an experience! I loved every minute of it... my fittings were so much fun and my seamstress was magical. It was the perfect dress! Every bride should at least experience trying on dresses at the Vera Wang store in Manhattan!

A COMPLETE DISASTER! I initially found my vera wang wedding dress at another store and then decided to go directly to the Vera Wang store in the city because I thought I would receive the best service considering how highly Vera Wang wedding gowns are regarded in the industry. My sister and I both purchased our bridesmaids dresses from there also. My sister and I were getting married four months apart and they were unable to keep our files straight-- they confused bridal parties on numerous occasions-- mixing up orders, telling bridesmaids the wrong color/style for their dress. They also NEVER informed us that they do not do alterations on bridesmaid dresses and that I should have read the very small print on the contract. The worst was that the sales associates changed day to day (people were being fired and/or leaving) so I was always dealing with a new person when I went for fittings and/or needed questions answered. When they sent the wrong dress to one of my bridesmaids and had to send FED EX to pick up the dress, the charge for picking up the dress was billed to the law firm where she works!!! And she had to explain the mistake to her bosses! After two months and several phone calls, vera wang sent an apology note to the law firm. The only saving grace for this place was an excellent seamstress who herself said that there was alot going wrong in the store. So as beautiful as my gown turned out-- I am glad to be able to share my experience so that another bride can hopefully be better prepared!

gorgeous styles..love her work!

Vera Wang's sophisticated style is evident when entering this stylish boutique.
