Dream dress

I am so grateful to Niki & her mom for making my wedding dress dreams come true at Irini’s. I had already tried on several dresses at several different locations before coming to Irini’s, and I felt so discouraged when I couldn’t find the exact dress that made me feel special. From day one, Niki really listened to what I liked and didn’t like and helped me create the dress of my dreams. She has a true eye for design and was able to combine aspects from four different dresses to create my dream dress. I felt so confident and happy in my dress and I’m so thankful to her for making me feel so special.

Nikki is amazing!

Loved my experience at Irini's Originals! This was the second bridal store I visited and when I showed Nikki the front-runner from the first store, she immediately picked out the dress she thought I would love. Spoiler alert-she was right! She gave me and my family time to go through the store to pick out anything I wanted to try on and I never felt rushed even though we stayed there for over 2 hours. I also used Nikki for my alterations and it was one of the best decisions that I made. I had a large dress and I was worried about how the bustle would look but Nikki made it look so natural. It took my maid of honor a good 10 minutes to finish all of the ties and buttons, but Nikki will add whatever it takes to make the bustle look fantastic. I would recommend Irini's originals to anyone!

Perfection!

My sister used Irini's 10 years ago, we had such a special experience I was excited to go back. When I got engaged, there was no question in my mind on where I would go. When I walked into Irini's 10 years after I was last there, Niki recognized me and my mom immediately! It speaks so highly of Niki that she truly gets to know her brides and their family and remembers them even a decade later!

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Irinis. I came in with an idea of what style I wanted. Niki took her time, pulling dresses of the styles I wanted and a few styles that I didn’t realize I wanted. I ended getting a dress that was a combination of what I wanted and what I didn’t realize I would want. She also customized my dress giving it a one of kind look. Niki always took her time and we would go through every possible way we could make this dress unique. She always stayed true to my original vision and would keep bringing me back in to making sure we had this dress perfect. She made sure my dress had two looks to it - one for the ceremony and one for the reception. My guests were shocked that my reception look was the same dress. During the evening, I had to show numerous guests how I got two looks from one dress. The attention to detail and knowledge Niki has gives a bride peace of mind when picking out their wedding dress. 10/10 would recommend! Told every bride I know that you must go to Irinis!

The One-of-a-kind Dress of my Dreams

I wish I could write Niki and her mother a love letter with how they made my every dream come true and then some. It got to the point that I referred to Niki as my fairy god mother because any idea I could think up, she would create. She is a TALENTED, GODDESS GENIUS and we do not deserve her. It's taken me months to write a review simply because I've gotten so emotional every time I sat to write one. So this is more of a novel than a review, but I have too many amazing things to say to keep it short.

My very first visit I was scared to share my full vision because I thought I was being a little extreme, but when Niki shared the amazing creations she has made, I asked about making overskirts with some color in them. Niki got right into showing me some dresses she could make into overskirts; we even layered dresses to get the full vision & then I was hooked. Would you believe this genius took 2 dresses and made me the perfect combination of details for a classic dress with a new back and my one of a kind overskirt? Cause she did!! Once my fittings began Niki, my mom, and her mom were a gang of besties. I looked forward to seeing them every fitting and seeing the amazing dress(es) she created for me. Even my veil was one of a kind, because again I shared my vision and she made it happen. The gratitude and love I feel for Niki and her family is unparalleled. I wish every bride could create this bond and have this experience with their dress designer. I am eternally grateful to Irini's Originals for making all of my dreams come true!!

Magical and Love Irini’s

I loved my dress I thought I looked like a princess. I tried a bunch of different dresses but I knew I’d find my dress at Irinis because Nikki is the best around.

totally fabulous

We found this shop because my daughter was in residency in Delaware. Thank goodness for that discovery, because the shop is worth a trip from anywhere. Niki is beyond compare. When you go to this shop, you feel as though you are the most important customer they have ever had. The dresses are gorgeous and well-priced; the tailoring is superb. We both wished the process didn't come to an end, Niki made it such a delight!

Amazing experience finding my dress!

Irini's Original creates an incredible experience for brides, bridesmaids, and mother of the brides to find their dresses. Niki knew my dress as soon as I walked in the door and continued to impress us with her attention to detail, friendly personality, and expertise! My sister-in-law went back to get her wedding dress there too!! Irini's Originals is simply the best!

Incredible experience!

I can’t express how lucky I am to be an Irini’s Originals Bride. From the moment I walked in for my initial appointment, Niki was so warm and inviting. She listened to all of the individual elements of dresses I loved and found a gown that incorporated all of those elements. My dress was more beautiful than I could have imagined and it was the first one I tried on! She worked with my crazy schedule to plan appointments, did an amazing job with alterations, found me the perfect veil and always took the time to check in to see how my family was doing. Great place to get mother of the bride or bridesmaids dresses as well, the selection is incredible. Cannot recommend Irini’s Originals more!

All your bridal, mother of the bride and bridesmaids needs will be met here!

Ever since I bought my dress from Irini's, I have been telling all the future brides in my life to go see Nikki!!! I have nothing but good things to say about this place and the positive experience I had!



This was the second bridal shop I went to and was still very unsure of what exactly I wanted. There was such a great selection (I tried on so many dresses I don't even know how many) but Nikki was so great at figuring out what I liked/didn't like with in my budget. I said yes to the dress the day I went to Irini's and so did my mom for her Mother of the Bride dress! A few weeks later, I brought in my bridesmaids and within 30 minutes they had all picked out the dresses they wanted.



Overall, we are all pleased with the professionalism, pricing, and experience there and suggest anyone in the area to make an appointment there for Bride, Mother of the Bride, and Bridesmaids dresses!

Wedding Gown

Niki at Irini's Originals has been a joy to work with. The bridal boutique has a wide variety of styles that are accommodating to various budgets. Niki chose my wedding gown and to my surprise I fell in love with it because it was a different silhouette than what I was looking for. Niki is an expert and will give her honest opinion. The bridal boutique does in house alterations and does beautiful work creating the bustle. Appointments are private 1:1 sessions so the focus is 100% on the bride. I had a wonderful experience working with Niki from start to finish.
