Debrah the sales women helped me find the perfect dress. I got it for a great price, a similar dress at another store was twice as much yet not as fantastic as the one I picked out

I'm located on the east coast and am glad I ordered my wedding gown and bridesmaids dresses from Dori Anne. The prices can't be beat, easily saved $600 by going with them (my dress alone). Received all the dresses within weeks, faster than I had imagined.

I had the dress, I had the shoes, I had the jewelry, but I could not find a veil to save my life!!! I searched every place in LA and must have tried on every veil in existence but they all looked so cliche and boring. Thankfully, my mom discovered Dori Anne's and it was like the missing piece to the puzzle. Debra was beyond helpful and had a unique selection of veils that I hadn't seen anywhere else. I'm extremely picky and wanted my veil to have a very specific look so Debra showed me something similar to what I had described but it wasn't the color I was looking for. I thought all hope was lost but she told me she could custom-make a veil for me to my exact specifications and in the color I wanted. I was thrilled! I completely trusted her and felt she understood my vision. When I saw my veil for the first time, I was floored. It was STUNNING! So meticulous and perfect, and better than I imagined. Debra totally nailed it. It perfectly complimented my dress and added such a "wow" factor. Aside from making me the most gorgeous veil known to mankind, I am also deeply indebted to Debra for introducing us to Maria, her seamstress, who is AMAZING and life-changing, but that's another review. In short, Dori Anne's has it all and I would highly recommend the store to other brides. Thank you Debra!!!

Dori Anne Veils is amazing!! They were so helpful during the selection process along with directing me with what veil would look best with my style of dress. During my dress fittings everyone acted as though I was their only bride and were over the top customer service oriented!!!! Dori Anne Veils pricing was incredible compared to many of the dress shops I had been to and on top of everything they give all brides a veil discount for purchasing your dress through them.

I highly recommend them to EVERYONE as they will make you feel like a queen on your special day!

I live in Texas and heard about Dori Anne Veils from one of my husband's co workers hoo purchased her dress here. She had nothing but good comments so I had to check it out. I was kinda bummed because I had found the perfect dress but was out of my budget. I called Dori Anne Veils and asked for the a quote and if the dress was available. Quickly I was given a date and price for the dress. I was skeptical because I was ordering it and not seeing my dress before it was ordered to make sure it was the rigt one, but it was. It arrived almost a month early, clean and air tight in a tiny box! It was perfect! Thanks Dori Anne Veils for helping me have the perfect dress for the perfect night!

Debra really cares about her brides, I can tell from the exceptional value that she delivers. Unfortunately, the responsiveness was not as I would have hoped - I had to call in to find out that my gown had arrived - and when I initially went in to place my order, Debra was very busy ~ probably swamped from the move she was in the middle of. All in all, I am very very happy with my gown, and she offers 50% off veils with a gown purchase.
Dori Anne Veils responded with the following comments:
I am so sorry, truly, as I do pride myself on customer service. I would love to speak to you. I always try to be friendly, so I am not sure what happened. And I always email when a dress arrives, so perhaps something got lost or went to spam, I do apologize for that.

LOVED working with Debra. Absolutely recommend.

When I first heard about Dori Anne Veils, I was on the hunt for a Paloma Blanca dress I loved, but couldn't justify spending $3,300 on. I wanted to know if there was someone selling the same dress at a better price.

To be honest, ordering from Dori Anne made me a little hesitant about the whole process: I called Debra with my desired dress and color, she called back with the prices. Her shop was in California, so I couldn't come check it out in person, and doing the whole wedding dress transaction on the phone made me a little nervous.

However, I am so, so glad I worked with Dori Anne. First of all, the price Debra gave me was made me want to take a chance-- I got a new dress for less than my local shops were selling used dresses at sample sales (I called about a dozen shops to find the best possible price I could). Debra also sent me the manufacturer's sizing chart so I could choose my size, instead of trying to get me to order a dress a size or two too big that would then need to be altered. By looking at the measurement chart, I was able to choose a smaller size than other shops had insisted I get, and when my dress arrived it needed almost no alterations-- very slight taking in at the bust, and adding of the bustle. My alterations costs were $150, which were a huge savings compared to friends who had to get their entire dresses taken in to fit when the dresses were ordered too large.

I also worked with Debra to order all my bridesmaids' dresses and rehearsal dinner outfits for myself and my sister. All told, we ordered 9 bridesmaids-type dresses in 5 styles/ cuts and 3 different colors. Again, things were easy and clear-- once again got to look at the size chart and make our own choices-- and the prices were astounding.

Dress shipping went smoothly, too. Debra called me when dresses arrived, and emailed tracking numbers so everyone could see where her dress was. Since my bridesmaids are located all over the country, I was worried that having so many separate shipping locations would cause problems, but everyone got what they ordered where they needed it. The bridesmaids dresses also came in almost 2 weeks earlier than expected, which was awesome.

I had an incredible experience with Dori Anne Veils, and recommend this shop to all brides who know what they want and want an easy experience and a good price.

Debra was a pleasure to work with. My dress came early and it was just perfect! I also got my bridesmaid dresses from her also in a timely fashion and for a good value. If you are going to buy a dress, definitely check with Dori Anne Veils first!

I purchased my dream dress from here and was so happy with my dress. i had actually seen the exact same dress that i fell in love with it at another boutique but was bummed that i forgot to write down the brand and style. So i walked into Dorianne veils and stumbled upon the same dress that id been looking for, and her prices were so reasonable, so i purchased the dress right then and there :)

Debra was fantastic to work with! She made ordering "the dress" less stressful and assured me everything would turn out perfectly. My dress arrived sooner than we anticipated and it was perfect... and the cost was the lowest around. I always recommend dori anne veils to newly engaged brides!

Debra is the best person to help you and your bridesmaids fitted for your big day. I used Debra and Dori Anne veils for my ordering my La Sposa wedding dress and Venus bridal gowns, but only after having ordered two other sets of bridemaids dresses from her. Since my wedding, I've used her twice more, including a Pronovias bridal gown for a relative. She is amazingly responsive to your concerns and very trustworthy.

Initially I was hesitant about using DoriAnne. I received a quote from them through an automated email for this particular dress that I wanted. Turned out that her location was near where I lived. Being wary of random bridal vendors (like those who operate out of a garage), I went to see for myself.

Debra is the owner of DoriAnne and she operates through a home office, basically a big separate room adjacent to her home. When I was there, all these girls and their mothers were streaming in and out of the place. She is a no nonsense lady who used to do alterations. Basically she cuts out the middleman and sells the dresses direct from the manufacturers. I imagine that without having to pay for major overhead that it costs to own an actual bridal shop, we get the most amazing prices. I saved several hundred dollars on my wedding gown and my bridesmaids saved about $30 on their dress (down from 140 to 110 or so). The nice thing was that she checks to make sure the dress is intact and if they are not, she'll fix them up a bit (sew things a bit tighter) before she calls for you to pick it up.

Debra did try to sell us some of the veils and other accessories, but they did not seem as decently priced as her quotes.

Overall, I highly recommend her!

Dori Anne Veils gave me the best value for my bridesmaids dresses. I have used her for 4 other weddings besides my own.
