had lost my mother the year before I got engaged. I knew dress shopping was going to be hard, but it ended up being a lot harder then I thought until I met Vassa. Prior to going to Wedding Dress Couture by Vassa, I had been to about 15 stores and tried on over 150 dress (yes, that many!), not every experience was relaxing, fun or enjoyable. I was losing hope and getting very discouraged because I had not experienced that "WOW" feeling a bride should feel when they find their dress. When I first spoke to Vassa on the phone, she made me feel so at ease and relaxed about looking for my dress. She assured me I would have a positive, fun and stress-free experience at her store, and she was correct!! Her collection of dresses are very unique, beautiful and arranged perfectly. Her store as well as her dresses are extremely clean, neat and tidy, which was refreshing to see after all the stores I had visited. Vassa welcomed me with open arms and a big hug!! She sat and went over my pictu... Read moreres, my vision and what I was looking for. I felt so comfortable trying on the dresses she suggested. Vassa is beyond talented and very skilled with her knowledge of dresses and tailoring. Because of her, I found my dream dress in under an hour and left having felt that "WOW" feeling which I thought would not happen, it was amazing!! My dress was flawless. Every inch fit me perfectly and I was extremely comfortable all night. At every fitting, she made sure each piece of fabric was even and where it needed to be. She listened to any concerns I may have had and by my last fitting, she made sure I loved how my dress fit me. From the moment I walked into her store, to my last fitting, Vassa was so supportive, encouraging and had such a positive vibe. I still remember her telling me before we met, she would cheer me on as I tried on dresses, she truly is amazing and one of a kind. At her store, you are the ONLY bride. That alone is beyond wonderful!! I hated trying on dresses with other brides and having to watch them share their experience and that special moment with their mothers, it broke my heart. Having the whole store to myself was so relaxing and made my shopping experience actually fun, enjoyable and special. It truly was an intimate experience. I am so grateful to have met Vassa and cannot thank her enough for all her help and support. I got countless compliments on my dress and it photographed beautifully. I highly recommend setting up an appointment! You won't be disappointed.
