Words cannot describe how phenomenal a job Katerina and her team did on my dream dress! When I tell you, she went above and beyond throughout the whole process that would be an understatement!! Not only did she make this dress come to life from a sketch which I will share more about later, but she also got to know me as a person before making the dress so she could add every element to it. I had a vision of having an avant-garde, whimsical, and unique dress for my wedding day that could transition into different luxe looks throughout the night.
There are a number of ways I could’ve worn this dress, and there are plenty more ideas that I could’ve done. I loved the Italian silk mikado she imported from Italy as well as the blue tulle because it allowed me to have an element of “something blue.” I also had two different veils that I transitioned to throughout the night. The first veil was a very long and beautifully made veil with many details on it that included an A & E with our initials on it, as well as pearls and crystals and little blue flowers to accent. I also had a second veil that had real blue crystals that I wore for the after party, and the reception! The shoulder piece was also a unique touch, because it was a blue tulle detachable piece as well. She also placed blue flowers on the right, and then an asymmetrical look with blue flowers on the tulle skirt. This dress was so intricately made I absolutely loved it. I had a classic white look with an added white silk mikado skirt to give an A-line look, as well as the blue tulle skirt that went on top of the white. I was even able to wear the dress as a simple off the shoulder fitted look! I could go on and on about the wonderful customer service that Katerina provided. I truly feel like she’s a part of my family now and I can’t wait to keep in touch with her because you never know who else might need a custom dress made by her after this breathtaking look! 💍🤍👰🏽‍♀️😍🙏🏽💙🩵

Katerina Bocci is simply one of a kind!!! She is one of the most talented people I have ever met. Katerina and her team poured their heart and soul into creating the most magical, haute couture dress I could’ve dreamed of, and made me feel like a true princess. My wedding dress looked so royal and grand, yet it was so comfortable to dance in — even though I had a super long train!
I decided to give Katerina and her team full creative freedom, and boy did they deliver!!! Aside from the dress, my veil was the next best thing — What a showstopper!!! If I had to do this all over again, I would in the blink of an eye.
Katerina’s personality is the cherry on top; she truly cares for her brides and is one of the most honest and genuine people I’ve ever met. She always makes sure that her brides look their absolute best on their wedding day and genuinely cares about them. 1000/10!!!
Thank you for everything, Katerina + Team!
Lots of love for you all!

Katerina and her team became family to me very quickly. Before coming to Katerina, I went to many wedding dress shops and I never found anything I was truly in love with and wanted to make changes to everything I tried on. I decided to go see Katerina before going to the bridal boutiques in Chicago. She asked me many questions about my vision and me as a person, and drew up a beautiful design. I'm a picky person and she was so patient with me, bringing out so many different fabrics until I finally found one I loved. I'm so happy I chose to go through her, my dress will always be a one of a kind dress that no one else will have and it was made to fit my body perfectly. My dress, veil, detachable skirt, and jacket was all made with the same fabric and flowed together beautifully. Because the pieces were so versatile, I was able to have 3 different looks with my dress. Every single fitting was filled with so much love and excitement. Katerina is not like a typical bridal salon, she just doesn't make your dress and send you on your way. She brings your vision to life, teaches you how to stand in photos, walk down the aisle, and sets you up to have a smooth wedding day. I could not be more grateful to have worked with her and her amazing team.
