Very Cool Experience

Loved my experience at Spina! It’s exactly what you would think when shopping at a luxury boutique in NYC. They were the only store that offered me slippers to wear around while trying on gowns and browsing their multiple floors. My sales associate Carly was so great and really understood my vision and made really helpful suggestions. I didn’t feel pressured at all to make a decision or try on something I didn’t like. Overall it was a very personable and relaxing experience.

Amazing Experience & Supportive Team

I went to Spina without any friends or family to try on an outfit they had in stock. I was worried about going without anyone I knew, but the friendly staff there made me feel like I wasn't alone and gave me amazing advice and company. They were even flexible to let me come back the next week and Giselle basically held a phone to Facetime my mom and take photos for me. When COVID changed our plans, they went above and beyond to help me navigate the situation. They have the most beautiful outfits (I tried on gowns and suits!) and welcoming environment. I absolutely loved my experience there!

Beautiful gowns, amazing experience

Spina Bride is a beautiful store and after going to two other bridal shops in NYC, this was by far the best experience. Giselle was lovely to work with, very hands on and attentive - not to mention you have the whole boutique to yourself for the appointment. She made the whole experience so pleasant and fun. I bought my amazing Liz Martinez dress from her and they were able to customize it for me. I couldn't wait to go back to the store when the dress came in. It was truly an incredible experience. Highly, highly recommend.

This was by far my favorite bridal shopping experience. I didn’t end up buying my dress here because I fell in love with a dress elsewhere, but this was a fantastic place to shop. It felt like being a celebrity – Giselle treated us like star clients, even though my budget was probably tighter than most brides she works with, and the studio is absolutely beautiful, zen and elegant and quiet and full of sunlight. The one-appointment-at-a-time policy goes a long way to making you feel special, and there was tea and slippers for all, as well as lush couches. The west village location also adds to the “celebrity” experience – I had tourists peering in at the windows and giving thumbs up when I came out in dresses, which was hilarious/made me feel fabulous. The dresses are unlike any others I saw in other shops, and absolutely stunning. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dress a little outside the box.

I was in a unique situation two weeks before my wedding, and Giselle came to my rescue. She was able to ship the dress of my dreams into her store and sent me to alterations all within those two weeks. My experience at the boutique was top notch and the best in NYC. (trust me, I went to most of the boutiques and designers in the city) It seems kind of crazy to say, but every dress in the store made me feel like a bride. The designers carried at Spina are like no other-they are so unique and beautiful. I am so thankful to the Spina team and feel so grateful to be a Spina Bride.

Oh you will want to try dresses on forever at this magical wedding dress boutique in the village!! Giselle, the owner, greets you at the door and is the kindest person you will ever meet. Forget that pushy, you look good in everything, I'll tell you what you want attitude that every other store in Manhattan has! Giselle guides you through the designers she carries that no other Bridal store carries in NYC with ease and patience. She lets you try on any and every dress you see and then offers her professional advice that somehow is what your inner soul is telling you anyway, If you do one thing right make an appointment at Spina!

From the moment I entered Spina Bridal shop, I felt special. I was greeted by Giselle who supplied slippers and hot tea for myself and my entourage (two sisters and mother). The space was cozy, well lit, earthy, modern and elegant. I had Giselle full attention during my appointment. She began by informing us about her business and the collections she carried. The gowns come from various international designers, of which she has exclusive access. Her select collection of gowns are unique, beautiful and thoughtfully chosen. Representing more of a gourmet tasting then a smorgasbord feast. Giselle was a welcome respite to the parade of bridal shops I had experienced. She offered personalized attention demonstrating genuine joy for her work. Instead of feeling tolerated by bedraggled employees of larger shops, my experience was one of "playing dress ups" that I remembered as a little girl. Giselle assisted in accessorizing silk gowns with gold crowns, back necklaces, sheer jackets, dramatic lace veils, etc.. She focused on every last detail to help me envision how I would look and feel the day of my wedding. Her professional demeanor was in perfect balance with the relaxed and fun atmosphere. I highly recommend Spina if only for the sheer enjoyment of it.

Of all the places I visited to check out dresses, Spina was by far the best -- and of course, I found my dress there! Giselle is an absolute joy to work with. She's incredibly kind and makes the whole process relaxing, easy and fun. It's worth checking out the shop because she's done all the heavy lifting, picking out all these gorgeous dresses from designers around the world. I found the perfect dress there (I hadn't seen anything like it anywhere else!) and Giselle was completely brilliant about how we could alter it (neckline, sleeve, train, etc.) to be exactly what I wanted. She's also a pro at measuring. The dress came in exactly as we'd hoped and Giselle was more than flexible on letting me pick a time to come by (I've got a sneaky feeling she even opened up the shop early for me...). Easily the best part of wedding planning so far!

Spina Bride is absolutely amazing! Wonderful boutique, incredibly helpful staff, beautiful space, and the dresses are gorgeous! I went to so many wedding dress shops before coming here- nothing compared to my experience at Spina. Giselle is a doll, and provides the best customer service! She took her time, helped me figure out what looked best and fit my personality and never pushed to complete a sale. She also helped my vision shine in a group appointment with my mother, MIL, two aunts and sister in-law. Going there was like spending time with an old friend. Everyone there is so inviting and helpful. My experience at Spina has been, by far, the best throughout all of my planning for anything for my wedding. She even personally delivered my wedding dress to my apartment on the Upper East Side! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Spina. I referred Spina to another friend who was looking, and she had the same wonderful experience that I did. You will not regret visiting the boutique and spending time with Giselle and her stunning collection of wedding dresses. :)

I didn't buy my dress here but did have a lovely experience. The salon is intimate and beautiful. Everyone who works there is incredibly nice and knowledgable about the gowns. The salon only takes one appointment at a time, and they don't have a lobby, so be sure to show up on time. I came a little early and had to wait outside. They did however, let me know ahead of time that there was no waiting room. Great bridal salon!
