    Nneka put her heart and soul in ensuring my day turned out beautiful with the perfect wedding dress! She knew what I wanted and delivered 1000%. I would definitely recommend Brides by Nona to all the would be brides out there. You can never go wrong!

    Exceptional!!

    Where do I begin.. Nneka and her amazing team are truly a blessing. From the beginning until the end they were phenomenal. As a 2023 Bride from California I’m so glad I’ve chosen Brides By Nona to create my dream wedding dress!!! I shared my ideas and vision with the team and they executed it. When I went to Atlanta for my fitting Nneka was very welcoming, so kind, loving and made me feel very comfortable. She even practiced how I should walk in my wedding dress and where I should position my bouquet when I made my first entrance. Please name one designer you know who does that with their clients? No one except our very own Nneka C. Alexander!!!

    Also, I can’t forget about my special angel Lexiee that was sent from God. She flew from Atlanta to California with my dress and attended to me the entire time. She dressed me on my wedding day and made the day so smooth and beautiful! I would highly recommend that all brides add this service to their package because it’s truly worth every single penny.

    Nneka, Lexiee, and the entire BBN team thank you so much for everything. I truly had the wedding of my dreams all thanks to you all. May God richly bless each and every one of you. Thank you a million times!! 🙏🏾❤️

    THEE Dress!!!

    Nneka was beyond amazing and professional throughout the entire process of getting my dress made. We were originally slotted to wed in 2020, but the pandemic changed our plans a bit. She absolutely brought my vision to life and had me looking SNATCHED on my wedding day. Thank you SO MUCH!!! I got nothing but rave reviews on my dress and was shining all night!!

    Elegance, Exquisite, Bespoke Gown, Luxury

    Brides By Nona designed and created my bespoke wedding gown which was simply perfection. The elegance, exquisiteness, beauty, detailing and creativity were superb and like none other. Brides by Nona delivered! My gown was unforgettable and there was no question that I was the Bride.
    Nneka and her team were top tier, professional, easily accessible and friendly. If you want a luxurious and timeless look I would highly recommend Brides by Nona as they never disappoint.

    Very creative & efficient process!

    I booked Brides by Nona in February of this year and shortly after, the pandemic hit and then came the lockdown. My stress levels went through the roof trying to figure out if we would cancel or postpone. Brides by Nona was one of the most understanding and responsive vendors through this trying time. They would always send my fiancé and I updates once a month about the status of things and when they expected to open back up again. Nneka answered all my questions and was always so accessible which helped relieve my stress. When it came to designing my gown I gave her total control and very little guidance...boy did she blow me away! Nneka has a very brilliant mind and can design anything you can think of (honestly, even stuff you didn't think of)! The price tag was out of my budget BUT I quickly raised my budget just because I couldn't see myself in any other design than what Nneka sketched! It was absolutely breathtaking! I would choose Brides by Nona many times over!

    Literally a dream come true

    My overall experience with Nona was absolutely amazing, when I first saw her Instagram page I instantly knew I had wanted her to design me a wedding dress. I had actually already said yes to the dress that I picked out in New York, however after making a consultation with Nona immediately after I canceled the purchase. Nona literally brought all my Ideas to life, first with a sketch and then as an actual gown. She not only designed my wedding gown but my reception dress as well and they were equally beautiful. My husband was in tears as he seen me walk down the aisle, our wedding was a month ago and he still talks about the dress daily. Nona is highly professional a sweetheart and she makes you feel very comfortable, this was very important to me because she has designed gown for many celebrity clients. Nona actually was recently in touch with me to help me sell my veil to one of her brides. I could literally go on and on about my experience with Nona but to sum it all up if you’re looking for a Couture gown to wow everyone don’t hesitate to contact her! Again my experience with her was truly a dream come true!

    Exceptional!!!

    I contacted bridesbynona two weeks before my wedding in tears after I was disappointed by another designer. Told her that she can simply design any dress for me and that I didn’t care since time wasn’t on our side. I was speechless when I saw the masterpiece digital design she sent to me. It took a while to accept the that fact this new design was going to be MY dress. I am so grateful for Ms. Nneka not only for designing the most amazing dress but for also having a heart of gold. She took her time to speak with me on the phone when I first contacted her and assured me that it will all work out. She listened to me vent and cry which she didn’t have to do. I’ll continue to recommend bridesbynona to every single bride-to-be because she’s just simply the best at what she does. Thank you so much again Ms. Nneka.

    I felt like a PRINCESS on my wedding day!!

    In absolute awe of Nneka’s work!! She was a delight to work with, and really tailored the dress to my liking. When I saw it, I cried. Her skill is unmatched! I have already recommended her to everyone I saw at the wedding; when my friends and family saw my dress, their mouths dropped. A true show stopper. Not only is Nneka good at what she does, but she’s also incredibly kind, honest, and knowledgeable! Get your dress from her if you want to feel like a princess on your special day!!

    Real Life Cinderella Story

    LET ME TELL YOU!! This was the best experience I've had throughout my wedding process. Nneka made sure I looked amazing and not only that she did it in less than 2 week after I had a mishap with another designer. She is my real life fairy god mother and BOTH my wedding dress and reception dress STOLE THE SHOW!!! I needed no alterations and she did everything in humility, grace and professionalism. She was so invested in my process that I felt so at peace with every decision. I still brag about my dress, her caring nature and my experience with her till date and BRIDESBYNONA is one brand that will never be left out of my wedding story. Thank You sooo much

    My dress has become the word on the streets.

    Where do I begin when it comes to Nneka Alexander (Brides by Nona). I was introduced to Nona by my amazing wedding planner Shollah(uniqueeventsbyshollah) and the experience has been magical. I’m a bride who doesn’t like to follow trends, therefore my wedding dress had to be unique, and boy did she give me unique. My dress is one of a kind that it has been featured in articles, blogs, and global websites in it’s first week. That is because of the visionary that is, Bride by Nona. Just when you think she cannot make a dress more beautiful than the last, she knocks it out of the park with my incredible wedding dress. All this was done during a pandemic 😷. She is a perfectionist and has an impeccable eye like no other. It’s not just about the dress, Nneka actually takes the time to recommend how the bride should be styled from hairstyle, accessories, shoes, to the type of bouquet that will compliment your dress. Which other designer do you know that takes the time to capture the entire look you envisioned for your day?. If you are not wearing a Brides by Nona dress for your wedding/event, then your dress must be mediocre 🤣. IF IT MUST BE DONE, IT MUST BE DONE BY BRIDES BY NONA.

She’s a beast and Heaven sent.

    Absolutely love my wedding gown!!

    I absolutely love my wedding gown!!! Thank you Nneka for making me the PERFECT wedding gown. When we met & you asked me what I wanted, I honestly had no idea. I only knew that I didn’t want to wear white. I gave you complete creative control, and you absolutely blew away. I am so grateful to you!🤍💍

    My guest gasp as I walked out!

    Let’s face it... planning a wedding is stressful! Imagine planning a wedding during a pandemic. 😩 If you’re a perfectionist like me selecting a dress sent my anxiety through the roof. From day one, Nneka listened to my likes and dislikes in what I desired in my dress. At my first consultation she literally sketched dress ideas right in front of me! I was absolutely sold. I imagined a unique dress that would be a SHOWSTOPPER with a lot of bling. Bridesbynona always got right back to me. Answered every question. Even the ones not related to my dress lol I know some of the things she helped with was not in her job description. Apparently she’s also a therapist lol When I received my finished dress it was more than I could of dreamed. The swarovski crystals throughout the dress are breathtaking! She nailed the train with the length and dramatics I never knew I needed lol Quality is perfection ! No alterations needed! I highly recommend! Everyone loved my dress!

    What can I say about bridesbynona and her team?!! She went above and beyond to make sure my dress was exactly what I wanted.

    2 weeks after giving birth, bridesbynona began working on my dress. I dont know how she did with a new born baby, one thing for sure. She went above and beyond to make my dream dress come true. I can't thank her enough...

    Very satisfied bride!

    The best experience a bride could have! I contacted Brides by NoNA all the way from St. Vincent and The Grenadines. I was VERY skeptical being so far away but after seeing much of their work I decided to give it a shot. I sent an e-mail (still skeptical) and they responded to my e-mail that same day which impressed me! Their e-mail was extremely thorough (which any bride who has used them before can attest to) so I felt a little more comfortable with them. The owner Neka was very professional and accessible whenever I needed her and she is a brilliant designer. She worked with em to understand exactly I was wanted and she brought my vision to life. My dress was perfect in every sense of the word! I cannot brag enough about this company but just give them a try and you will not be disappointed. Everyone at my wedding couldn't stop talking about my dress and they still talk about it! Very, very satisfied bride here!

    Exceptional Couture Wedding Gown

    My experience with BridesByNona was nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL. Nneka designed the wedding gown of my dreams and I couldn’t be more happier. She pays close attention to detail by incorporating every single element of what you want in the final dress. To say I was blown away would be an understatement. What meant the most to me is when Nneka said she will make any tweak to my dress until I absolutely fall in love with it and she did not disappoint. My wedding dress fit my body so well everyone kept telling me that it looked like the dress was molded on my body. Dropped in Swarovski crystals she made me feel like a celebrity star out of a magazine and Cinderella all at once and I will never forget that feeling on my wedding day. You will be making a huge mistake by not going with BridesByNona for your bespoke custom wedding gown. I recommend BridesByNona a million times over.

    Absolutely perfect

    Brides by NoNA was an absolute pleasure to work with! From start to finish! I literally had the most gorgeous wedding dress that I have ever seen in my life... also everyone I know told me my dress was beyond phenomenal.

    From fit to the every single sparkle and detail on my 8ft long train , cathedral veil mermaid style dress... straight perfection!

    If there is one decision I made right in planning my wedding it was going with a brides by Nina dress.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

    A dream come true!!

    Working with Nneka and her team was an absolute dream come true! She executed my bridal gown to the fullest. From the first time we met and from all the fabulous gowns she made, I knew I was in good hands.
    I came all the way from Brooklyn, NY to work with her in Atlanta. We had three face to face interactions and talked via phone or text as needed. She was patient and made sure to listen to all my request. I wanted a gown that looked different, sexy, couture and elegant all at the same time. She provided me with all the above and more!!! She was an absolute gem & very professional.
    I am truly grateful for her services. Thank you Brides by Nona for creating an everlasting memory❤️!!

    Just perfect!

    My dress is a Pnina Tornai inspired dress. I went into Kleinfield in Manhattan, NY. I tried on millions of dresses. I was introduced to her line and I loved the shape and concept but I needed to tweak it to my own liking. I created a vision of what I wanted, setting a “tone” that i felt right for me. I designed the dress and began searching for someone to make it for me. I ran into BridesByNona on IG where I saw the FABULOUS dresses she has made. I sent her pictures of the P. Tornai dress and explained my vision to her. She took note of everything i wanted. I went down to ATL, GA to visit her and took my initial measurements. I remember when she sent me pictures of the dress completed, I honestly stopped and began screaming in place because of excitement. I went down again for a final fitting and the dress was even better in person (even without my hair and makeup done). The best part is, on my wedding day it looked BETTER than before! I also might have been caught up in the moment. She laid heavenly talented hands on my dress. I’m forever grateful. She DELIVERED!!
