    I would highly recommend any Brides looking for that special dress to shop at Cristina's. The entire staff is so helpful!

    I purchased my dress during a sample sale in December 2012. It was a $3400 dress, which I got for $800. It was in pristine condition and fit amazing. I also found the perfect vail later at a trunk show and Cristina knew the one that would match perfectly!

    I chose a Bill Levkoff dress for my bridesmaids, which they all LOVED and can totally wear again. They have quite the selection. The alterations that some of them needed to get were perfection.

    They were so accommodating and I can not say enough good things!

    THE BEST! Brides, look no further!

    A perfect choice for getting my gown!

    We went in January 2020 to get the gown for my October 2021 wedding - yes, I was very ahead of the game timeline wise, but knowing how busy of a year I had ahead of me work-wise, I didn’t want to feel stressed during something that was meant to be fun! It was the first and only bridal shop I went to - they were INCREDIBLE!

    At the appointment, each associate I was in contact with was so sweet, friendly, complimentary, and encouraging! As this was pre-COVID era, I was able to bring my mom, aunt, and sisters with me. They were all treated with kindness as well and encouraged to be a part of the experience. I tried on around 8 dresses, and each one was beautiful - my vibe was definitely heard by the associate we worked with, and my budget was respected. I ended up getting the very first dress I tried on! It was perfection! I also got my veil that same visit, which was so nice to see both pieces on at the same time! It really brought my vision to life and helped me confirm that THIS was the dress!

    When my dress and veil came in, it was July 2020 - exactly on-track with the timeline Cristina’s gave me for when it would arrive. I was able to come in to the shop, try on my gown, and then was given the dress to bring home with me (a new regulation per COVID) until 3 months prior to my wedding in which I would come in for my alterations and final fittings.

    When that time came, one year later, it was again, super smooth, convenient, and easy. I brought my Spanx, my wedding shoes, my dress and veil, and I had 2 appointments - one for the first fitting, the second to try it on and see if any additional alterations were needed. I was guided through the appoinment by the associate and seamstress to make sure the dress fit tastefully and comfortably, and was given a tutorial on how to bustle my gown (with a diagram for my coordinator, too!). Once all was said and done, I picked up my dress and veil 2 days before my wedding, both steamed and ready for the big day! Now, I am getting ready to have it preserved!

    All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Cristina’s for your bridal attire needs! It was fun, exciting, and the whole team made me feel welcomed and beautiful! I never felt like a number or just another bride, I felt like I was being treated like a special VIP every time I walked in! I was able to get the dress of my dreams and enjoy the experience! I will recommend any bride to this fabulous shop forever!

    The best spot for dresses & alterations!

    I got my dress during a sample sale and Cristina's and also got my alterations done. Everyone we worked with was so friendly and helpful. Since my dress was a sample, I had to get it cleaned and Cristina's gave me a few options of where to get it cleaned for an affordable price before starting alterations. I did need to let my dress out a whole size, but I am so happy with how it came out! If you're looking for a dress or alterations - Cristina's is the place to go. Thank you, Cristina's!

    Amazing choice for bridesmaids

    Cristina's was the best decision I could have made for my bridesmaids dresses! The process was so easy and they were very accommodating, even in the midst of COVID. I went in 3 separate times and they never pressured myself or my maids. We ordered and picked them up with no issues at all. They carry several designers at different price points and have lots of samples to try on. They also have all swatches in house and will happily order you an extra if you need it for matching. All of the dresses came in on time and in the right sizes. Couldn't recommend them more!

    Accommodating and professional, highly recommend

    I found the dress I wanted at another store and Christina's Bridal was able to offer a great price match. The tailor, Nee, was highly skilled and was able to make modifications to the intricate lace so the dress fit me perfectly, which took two separate alterations. I was so pleased with the fit and experience, I highly recommend Christina's!

    Amazing experience at Cristina's

    Cristina's was so amazing to work with! I purchased my wedding dress, veil, and earrings from them and couldn't recommend them enough. My first appointment was shortly after the 2018 gas explosions in the Andover area so I expected them to have to reschedule the appointment because everything was closed and the power was out. However, instead they kept the appointment used candles to light the store which showed that they were committed to helping me find my dress and would be reliable to work with! Deb was the woman who worked with me to find my dress and she totally understood my vision. She could tell I wasn't loving the dresses I picked to try on and she suggested one I hadn't even picked out because she thought I’d like it. She was so right and I fell in love with the dress and they were so accommodating and worked with me to add buttons to the back of the dress to bring to life my vision. Every time I went in to try on the dress they were so helpful and answered any questions I had. I did my tailoring there too and found the seamstress to be very professional and helpful when I asked questions about undergarments and timeline. I couldn't recommend them enough and have told everyone they have to go to Cristina's!!

    Wonderful Experience

    I had a wonderful experience at Christina’s. When trying on dresses, the consultant helped to pull dresses that were exactly what I described and in my price range - she knew their stock very well.

    My alterations went smoothly. When I went in for my fitting after the alterations were done, everything fit perfectly and nothing had to be tweaked. The staff was always friendly and made me feel special every time I was there.

    Amazing Service & Seamstresses!

    I bought my wedding dress and veil at Cristina's, and my mom found her mother-of-the-bride dress there as well. By the time I went to Cristina's for the first time, I had narrowed my options down to two Pronovias dresses, and this was the first place I found that carried both samples. The stylist who helped me, Soleidi, was so helpful and didn't mind at all helping me in and out of the two dresses multiple times to compare them.

    When I went in for my first fitting, I thought the pictures my sister had taken on her phone looked much different than the sample looked on me. It turns out it was likely the lighting or her phone, but the staff at Cristina's was quick to help me when I called them about it afterward. They texted me pictures of my dress next to the sample to show they were the same and let me come in again the following weekend to see for myself. Though I was able to see they were the same, I was uncomfortable by the fact that the dress could look so different in different lighting. (It's a lace dress with champagne fabric underneath, and in certain lighting, I thought it looked much more revealing than it actually was.) I was pretty upset about it since I didn't want to look like I was wearing a super revealing dress in any of our pictures, but the manager, Deborah, was so accommodating. She walked me through all my options of how we could get the dress to look like what I wanted.

    I ended up ordering more lace from the manufacturer and Cristina's alterations department was going to add it onto my dress. Even though it wasn't expected to arrive until 1-3 weeks before the wedding, they assured me their seamstress (Nee) would have it done in time for my wedding, and she did! She did such a wonderful job. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and was so happy to have the extra lace. My husband loved my dress as well and thinks I made the right decision to add more lace. I'm so thankful Nee's work was so well done; it looked like the dress came with all the lace.

    I highly recommend checking out Cristina's. I only looked at a few dresses there since my mind was mostly made up but they seemed to have a lot to choose from, and I'm sure they could order any dress for you. In my mind, it's really their service that sets them apart.

    Wish I could wear my dress again ! Great experience here

    My experience at Cristina’s was great. Me and my mom showed up very early and offered to go get coffee and come back but they accommodated us and immediately took us to look at dresses. We worked with Deb who was extremely helpful and friendly. I loved the first dress ( which I ended up buying) and she was very patient as I tried on others to be sure. Alcira in alterations was amazing and made my ribbon belt with buttons on the back exactly how I wanted it. Very happy with whole experience and would recommend !

    The best dress experience!!

    Cristina's is the best place in the Boston area to find your wedding dress! Cristina and her staff make you feel so at ease throughout the entire process, which can often be very stressful for brides (and families).

    My bridal consultant, Donna, was great. She walked me around the entire salon but carefully guided me towards the dresses that were within my budget and more "in line" with the look I told her I was going for. I ultimately chose a designer I have loved for years, but had the opportunity to try so many other beautiful designer dresses that were in the salon.

    I wish I could have the Cristina's "experience" all over again! My dress was tailored perfectly by their team, and accessorized with a veil from their designer collection. Thank you, Cristina, Steve and team for helping my find the dress of my dreams!

    Beautiful dress & top notch experience!

    The excitement, knowledge & professionalism of the entire staff at Cristina's was incredible. They truly go out of their way to ensure you have a positive experience and make you feel so special. Customer service is EVERYTHING and they made me feel like a BRIDE! My dress was classy, beautiful & unique and I absolutely fell in love with it the moment I put it on. It was also picked out by one of the staff members (I never would have picked it for myself). I received so many compliments on the dress the day of the wedding. We also got my bridesmaids dresses at Cristina's and they were pretty reasonably priced! Thank you Cristina's & Staff!

    Amazing service!

    I married on 10/20/18. I had a specific Lazaro Dress in mind that was not part of the Lazaro trunk show but the staff went out of their way to make sure it would be included that weekend just for me. From the first fitting to working with the alterations team, the Cristina's staff made me feel so comfortable and were so attentive throughout the entire process. I also brought my dress back for the preservation service. Highly recommend for a great experience!

    Cristina’s in Andover, MA has an amazing and extensive selection of gowns. Literally a whole floor of their three story shop is dedicated to just wedding gowns (the other floors are bridesmaids dresses and special occasion attire). They have styles ranging from timeless to trendy and all kinds of price points. Debra, the manager who helped me shop, was helpful and honest and I felt like she was invested in assisting me in finding the best dress for my personal style and body type. This really mattered a lot to me, especially given that I am a curvier gal (size 14). Another advantage of Cristina’s is that they have in-house seamstresses so that tailoring on dresses can be done on site. Love the one-stop shopping. My Mom even found her mother of the bride dress at Cristina’s which made for fun fittings for the two of us together. I highly recommend Cristina’s and would encourage all brides to shop there before buying a dress elsewhere.

    I made my first appointment to try on bridal gowns at Cristina's and I bought the first one I tried on! Working with the team from my first visit to picking up my dress the week of the wedding was an absolute dream! Everyone was so accommodating and made sure I had everything and all of the information I needed. I also had my alterations done here which were great as well - I never felt like I was being rushed or was wrong about how I wanted my dress to fit - but I always listened to them and their advice every step of the way. I am a super indecisive person, so the fact that they found me a beautiful dress within an hour was a miracle and a half! I also just brought my dress back to Cristina's, now that my wedding is over, to be cleaned and preserved. Cristina's is now my family's go-to bridal shop and will be for years of weddings to come! Thank you!!

    I absolutely loved the dress I found at Cristina's. The selection is large and varied, and there is a wide range of prices to accommodate all budgets. I was so pleased to find such a classy and elegant gown for a more reasonable price than I was expected. My consultant helped perfect my dress choice by putting the most fabulous belt on my dress and making me fall in love with it. The alterations were perfect and I was so pleased with the entire experience. I only wish I could wear my dress again! Thank you for making me feel so beautiful, Cristina's!

    After going to David's bridal and not finding what I wanted, I took a ride over to Christina's. This shop was beautiful - my consultant listened to what I wanted and pulled the exact dress. She knew my budget, and as I was looking at another bride trying on the most amazing dress (the consultant knew it was above my budget) she pulled me in to another room where she had pulled THE DRESS...the dress I had asked about, but in MY price range. I felt so beautiful on the day of my wedding because of her, and because she pulled the perfect dress for me. I could not be happier!

    I went to Christina's Bridal after having a terrible experience at David's Bridal (even my future mother in law, who is the sweetest person alive was put off by their awful service)
    Anyway - I called while leaving Davids asking if I could come right in. ON a SATURDAY! In the SUMMER! I got right in. My consultant (whose name escapes me) was wonderful. I saw this girl in a beautiful gown and asked her about it - knowing my budget, she suggested I come see a dress that she had just picked out for me. The dress the girl was in had to be around 8k. I didn't want to spend more than $1,500 and my consultant never tried to push me to an area above my price range. The dress she picked out was more than I ever could have wanted. It was THE dress I had been looking for. I tried it on and made the mom close their eyes - that's how excited I was. I bought the dress on the spot. I have gone back twice since it came in to try it on and make sure if still fits me. I'll be going back at the end of April to start my fittings.

    Got my wedding gown.and accessories , mothers dress , and all bridesmaids dresses here for my big day here. They were nothing but helpful & professional. From when I walked into the shop (very nervous) they were sweet , kind & welcoming . They weren't pushy - I told them my price point & the owner stuck to that .... No pressure to buy either. The 1st dress was the one, but I tried on the rest (9)...tried it back on & I knew!! When we went back for alterations , we got the same courtesy & professionalism as before ....same went for the day I picked up the dress . I would defiantly refer friends here & will go back for dresses for other occasions FOR SURE

    I bought my dress at Cristina's one week after getting engaged (crazy, I know!). I went in with my mom "just to look around" and walked out having purchased an incredibly gorgeous gown. Going in, I had my own idea of what style I wanted to wear, but having gained weight in the past year, I was unsure about trying dresses on. Once I started trying them on, I was disappointed and thought "OMG, I have a long road of dieting ahead of me if I want to wear a dress like this." The sales attendant working with me could see it on my face. She went and pulled out a dress very different from the styles I had been pulling off the racks. I put it on and it was like she performed magic. It fit me perfectly, made my figure look amazing and boosted my confidence through the roof! That's what they do and they know how to do it. She then grabbed a piece of fabric and showed me what this strapless dress would look like if I had sleeves/straps put on to support my (very large) chest. It was absolutely gorgeous. Like she worked a miracle. They gave us a discount for purchasing the same day as trying it on ( but weren't pushy) and I never looked back. Never tried on any other dresses and never felt like I rushed my decision.
