    The most beautiful and unique, elegant dresses you will ever find! This is the only bridal store I went to, and it was still tough to decide between several designs. They were all so unique and so beautiful! I LOVED my chosen dress! Nadica is so amazing as well! My wedding dress came in stunningly beautiful, she altered it to fit even more like a glove, and I could not have felt more beautiful on my special day because of that.

    Flew here from New York with my Mother to purchase my wedding gown and we had the most amazing experience. We would like to extend our sincerest thanks and appreciation to Nadica, Allie, and the entire staff for creating my dream dress for my wedding in Italy. It was worth every trip from New York, you hands down have the most beautiful dresses in the world and I know because I searched it to find you. This is what every girl dreams of their entire life. Thank you all for going above and beyond to accommodate and make every detail perfect.

    I have found a gorgeous dress at reasonable price. Was no pressure to buy. Nadica is the owner and is super nice and honest in her opinion. She went out of her way to make it the best experience for me.

    You MUST go to Maria's Bridal Couture! Nadica made my bridal dreams come true! She was professional, made me & my family/friends feel welcome & comfortable, the store is kept clean & is decorated beautifully & everyone was just an absolute joy to work with! I had probably been to 5-7 other Bridal shops before I went to Maria's, in my mind I had a vision that I wanted a fully beaded bodice and tight trumpet skirt. I was not finding what I wanted anywhere else in my price range. I showed Nadica a few photos of dresses that I had tried on at other stores and she immediately pulled a fully beaded bodice with a trumpet skirt without me even telling her it was my dream dress. While in the dressing room, it was the first dress I tried on and before it was on she told me, "this is your dress", when I put it on I started to cry - none of the other dresses I had tried on made me cry. She was right, it was "the one", I was having my bridal moment! I don't even remember the price of the dress originally but she knew my budget & said she would make it work & she did!! I cant just make a huge purchase without doing a little research, so I called other stores in IL and OH to make sure I was getting a good deal, when I told both stores the price I was offered they all said "Buy it!". One of the stores was selling it for over $1200 higher and that was before alterations and taxes! I was stupid and went and got breast implants after I was already sized for my dress, when it came in my dress zipped by my bust, but was much too revealing for a classy bride. Nadica immediately came up with a solution and they actually sowed a belt onto the top part of my dress to cover me up more, it came out so beautifully that l liked it better! She turned a bridal mishap into a bridal blessing! Her staff was professional and helpful and you really got the sense that everyone is there to make you happy. Thank you for everything Nadica! We love you & wish you the best at your new Birmingham store!!

    I have been to several dress shops and Maria's was by far the best experience. They were willing and able to create for me my perfect dress. They went out of their way to make finding my dream dress such a special experience. I would strongly recommend any bride to Maria's Bridal Couture.

    I purchased my wedding dress when I was living out of state, and needed to find somewhere local to my new house to make my wedding dress alterations. I am so happy that I found Maria's. They did an amazing job! The dress fit flawlessly. I also purchased my under garments and my veil here which were both very pretty and affordable. I am very happy with my experience here!

    After trying on many dresses at stores across Metro Detroit, I purchased my wedding dress from Maria's in January for my August wedding. The dress came in with plenty of time for alterations and the owner was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. After multiple fittings, my dress fit like a glove and was absolute perfection on my wedding day.

    I absolutely loved my dress from Maria's. I was very hesitant to try on this particular style but just as I was about to give up, she politely nudged me to "just try it" and I fell in love. I live in DC but have family in Michigan. I was concerned about having to make trips back and forth for multiple fittings but she assured me that we could make it work in just one fitting when I was coming back for a shower. They came in early on a Friday to fit me and had the alterations finished by Saturday morning so I could take it home with me that weekend. I was shocked. They even came in early on Monday morning to give me the dress before my flight. They really care about your happiness. She struck the very difficult balance of bride vs. family in a few instances and I really felt like I had her on my side without feeling uncomfortable. I wouldn't do it any other way!

    Maria's Bridal goes above and beyond with perfecting how the dress fits. They make you feel so special and work with you to make sure everthing is what you want. I dont think 5 stars is enough for how my dress turned out and the number of compliments I recieved. Thank you so much for making my day amazing!!!!

    I would highly recommend Naditza (spelling?) from Maria's Bridal to help you with your dress selection. I went in without having any real vision for a dress. The only thing I knew was that I wanted it to be light in weight, flowing and romantic with a modern vintage feel to it. She pulled 10 dresses for me and told me she had a feeling for the one I would go with and she was right. I put it on....felt really excited, but wanted to be open to the other dresses. After 2 other dresses, I put "my dress" back on and didn't want to take it off. I felt beautiful, like a sexy woman showing off her best attributes. I don't know if I will ever have another dress in my lifetime that will make me feel and look that good. I have been to Maria's Bridal for all of my friends weddings as well for bridesmaid dresses........all were good experiences!!!!

    My dress wasn't what I thought I would like, but it was fantastic! They allowed me to wait until the very last possibly moment to start my fittings because I was dieting and everything was fabulous. They were great to work with while I was trying on dresses and the way they treated me was consistant throughout the entire process.

    Maria's Bridal was an excellent vendor. They had no time limit for trying on dresses, and they were so helpful in picking out what I wanted. The prices varied from the low end to the high end. There was a dress for every budget. Also, alterations were included in the price of the dress, which was grea.t When I ordered my dress, it came on time, with no problems. I was able to get all my bridesmaids dresses there as well. Great selection!

    Nadica was incredibly patient and helpful. I sought her advice on many things. The dress is beautiful and receives many compliments. The veil is gorgeous too, but was very overpriced. The bead work started unraveling and many beads fell off. It was not the most pricy dress, but not the cheapest either. I wish the quality was more commensurate with the tag. Overall, we are thankful for Nadica's service and contribution to the wedding.

    Everyone at Maria's was a joy to work with. The girls were very helpful in helping me pick out a wedding gown, even after I came back several times to try it on before I committed! The alterations were perfect and the gown was stunning.

    I was very happy with how my wedding dress turned out! I had some concerns at the beginning of the process because things were taking longer than I thought and some of my voicemails were not returned. However they came through for my wedding and did such a great job! They answered all questions and made the dress look perfect!

    This is a high end establishment with beautiful dresses -- I was so happy with my selection and truly appreciated the level of care they provided when we first purchased the dress. The owner is very knowledgable and personable and felt like a family member by the time my wedding day arrived.

    The only drawbacks were the other staff and the alterations, which were free with my dress. The employees are very young and lacked professional etiquette on the phone. They were short with their answers, not good with follow up questions and usually had to say "hold on" while they audibly whispered their questions to the owner. The other problem was with the alterations -- I had several wardrobe malfunctions during the day resulting from poorly secured seams, though they were somewhat fixable with the sewing kit my wedding planner brought with her. I do have to wonder if this was more attributable to the fact that it was a couture style gown, made more for beauty than sustainability.

    I only mention the negatives because they are consistent with other reviews I have read, yet they did not significantly affect my overall satisfaction with Maria's Bridal Couture. I ended up with the most beautiful and unique gown I have ever seen and received so many compliments. As mentioned, the alterations were free and the owner more than made up for the staff's lack of phone experience.

    My dress was fantastic.
    They had a great selection - all of the ones I wanted to try on were in stock & available, so that was very helpful.
    My bridesmaid's dresses were also great - lots of compliments!

    I didn't know what to expect with the shop because I had heard a lot of negative things about the treatment of their customers. I am so glad that didn't scare me away. My bridesmaids and I were very pleased with the service we received.

    The salon is gorgeous; but make sure you try on during a weekday to get one-on-one service. If you try on a weekend, you'll get mixed help instead of staying with one consultant for the whole process of shopping, buying, and fitting your gown! And-only work with Naditza.
    The only thing I didn't like was when I was put into a room with my gown. I was forgotten about so I assumed at this salon you put on your own gown. Due to a teeny tiny staff, if there is *any other* bride shopping at the same time, you're not really taken care of.

    The dress I purchased at Maria's was AMAZING. So many compliments on it and it was very unique - however, the alternations and fitting were a nightmare. The bustle was crooked from the get go and the buttons weren't swen on properly and popped off about 10 minutes after the dress was bustled. I expressed my concerns about the bustle repeatedly and was reassured constantly but obviously my concerns were not addressed. Great place for dresses - look elsewhere for alterations....

    My experience with Maria's started out just fine. They were helpful when I was shopping for a dress, although I did have to wait when coming for an appointment. I was told my dress would come in by early to mid- March and it didn't come in until the second week of April. That left 3 weeks for alterations. They say that alterations are included, but I was charged $100 for "extra" alterations without being told first. I had to wait each and every time I went in for alterations, they were always done in the midst of a very busy and noisy dressing room area. They charged me $200 for a bustle and I had to have 4 fittings for a dress that fit pretty well to start with. I also had my bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding altered there and the alterations were horrible. They made me order a size that was 2 sizes to big then left the top too big and made the left side pucker out. Overall, I would recommend buying a dress from Maria's but having it altered elsewhere.

    I would never recommend Maria's Bridal to any bride looking for her dress or her bridesmaid's dresses. The employees of Maria's were fine during the trying-on phase, however, they incorrectly ordered my wedding dress. They ordered it 2 sizes too small. They refused to get the proper size and instead insisted that they would rip apart the too small dress and remake it. I had to obtain the proper dress from the dress maker. They then ruined the proper-sized dress by taking it in too much and cutting the seams before I had a chance to try it on. When I asked them to fix the problems (5 days before my wedding) they told me to leave. As for my bridesmaids, 2 of the dresses were too small and 1 was 4 sizes too big.

    The dress was beautiful and the alterations were great. The service, however, was horrible. The sales associate was very rude. I ordered my Jewelry 5 months before my wedding and was suppose to receive it at my first fitting. It turns out the sales woman forgot to order it. At the second fitting, I received jewelry but it wasn't what I ordered. The week before my wedding, they still did not have my jewelry. The sales woman did not apologize and offered no confidence that I would have it before my wedding day. Instead, she suggested I start shopping around. I did receive my jewelry two days before the wedding.

    I had a great time shopping for my dress. Before I started shopping, I saw a picture of it (Maggie Sottero, Ivana) on the Knot, and knew I had to try it on. Maria's was one of the few shops in the area that had it. I worked with Linda, and she was a great help. This dress was the first one I tried on, and every dress I tried on after just helped to confirm this was the one. I had a great experience with shopping for and buying the dress, but alterations were an altogether different story. I had been thinking about having Hana Ayer do the alterations, since she gets great reviews and I live pretty close to her, but since the price of alterations were included with the dress, I decided to have Maria's do it. I should have gone with Hana. When I went for my final fitting, just 3 days before the wedding, when I had no time left to resolve the situation, I discovered that the top of the dress had been altered so that my bra was hanging out about 2 inches on the left side (somehow, the left side wound up being cut much lower than the right side). Also, the hem on the right side of the dress was dragging on the floor by about two inches, while the left side was a couple inches above the floor. For both issues, the seamstress yelled at me that I was wearing the dress wrong (how exactly does one wear a wedding dress wrong?). After she spent 10 minutes tugging on the dress to get me to wear it "right", the bra was still hanging out and the hem was still uneven. I told her to add another pickup to the right side, so that both sides would be equally off the floor - she didn't see why I would want to do that as she thought the uneven hem looked just fine, but she finally agreed. If you look at the picture I have under the officiant section, you can see how high the hem wound up being. Oh well, at least it made it easier to show off my cute red shoes :) There was nothing that could be done about the bra, so I just keep hiking up the dress and pulling down the bra all night long. Also, although the alterations are free, the bustle is not. I was told that it could cost anywhere from $40-200 dollars, but that mine most likely would be closer to $40. Not so much - it turned out to be $195, with no explanation of how they came up with that price. Of course, for that price, you'd expect a pretty kick-ass bustle - while the bustle did look great initially, it fell apart after a couple hours of dancing. Plus, if you get your veil elsewhere but have Maria's press it, it costs $40 - which I was told AFTER they pressed mine. So, with all of that, I'd recommend buying your dress at Maria's, but get it altered elsewhere.

    The staff was really helpful when I was choosing my dress. They allowed me to try on dress after dress until I found the perfect one. The dress was over my budget but I made sacrifices to get the dress I really wanted. When they measured me, I asked them to order it a size bigger because I was starting dental school and worried that I would gain weight. My dress came in early March. It did not zip but the sales lady assured me that there was enough fabric to take it out. I went back 6 weeks before, I had lost some weight, the dress zipped but was still way to tight. The alterations lady told me that since I am still losing weight, they would start alterations 3 weeks before the wedding. I went back 3 weeks before the wedding and the lady said "there is not enough fabric to take this dress out, you just have to lose weight". Obviously my mom and I were not very happy. The alterations lady could not really understand why we were so upset. I was in tears and after 20 min of arguing, the lady said she would open my dress and see how much fabric there was. I had to back 5 times more times (each time, I waited at least 20 min for them to even bring out my dress). Each time they argued with me and told me that the dress was not too tight even though I told them I couldn't breathe. One of the alteration ladies actually told me "your wedding dress is not suppose to be comfortable". When I told them how unhappy I was with their service, the alterations lady told me "next time, go somewhere else". Thanks for wishing my marriage would fail! The alterations experience at Maria's bridal was absolutely horrible. My advice, if you find a dress you love and get it from somewhere else. A wedding dress simply to important to leave to such incompetent people.

    I am still trying to figure out why they have the store set up as "appointments only". I am confident they don't have a clue who is coming in when and they definitely don't staff for alterations around appointments. I live 45 minutes away from the store and had to make it in for 4 separate alterations appointments (3 of which I showed up thinking it was the final alteration and there were still pins in my dress). All of which took at least an hour to have someone spend 4 minutes on alterations. They would have sent me home with the dress as is, if I didn't point out the areas of concern. In addition, I ordered a sash and was assured it would arrive with plenty of time for the wedding. When the wedding was a week away and the sash was not it, they were far from comforting. Since they are no longer open on Mondays and only stay late certain nights of the week, I had to leave early from work to get there in time for my final alterations. After making an appointment in person and calling twice to confirm that it was clear I was leaving with my dress, they still had the nerve to ask if I could come back the next day so they could finish the needed 20 min alterations (this is because they sewed on my sash with a 2 inch gap in the back and horizontaly uneven). Let's just say I can't explain in the space allowed how terrible the service was. As a cake topper, they had the nerve to hug me as I left with my dress….
    *Don’t let them bustle your dress. They wont take your thoughts into consideration and will charge you $190.

    I have had the exact experience as everyone else. I had 8 bridesmaids, all of whom told me they had to wait for 30-45 minutes after their appointment start time before they were even brought their dresses. alterations were absolutely awful, the service is awful, i would advise any bride to not waste your time. you can find any dress that is sold here elsewhere. do yourself a favor and stay away!

    Where do I start.... 1. I had an appointment and 10am and at 10:10 an associate floats by and says "It'll be a minute". 2. When I walk in she gives me any annoyed look for being the first client waiting outside the door for opening, asking, "What can I help you with, why are you here" as she stands next to an APPOINTMENT ONLY sign... ((I would be guessing I had an APPOINTMENT!) 3. After the sales lady asks which types of dresses I am interested in, she rudely keeps interrupting me telling me how I am using the wrong terms of mermaid vs. trumpet skirt...((I am sorry, this is the first time I am getting married and not overall familiar with the terms)) 4. After hearing I wanted to stay in the lower box of prices they had available she huffs and puffs and opens a door to an overwhelming room stuffed of dresses and never checks back. 5. After I decided to not even attempt to try on bridal gowns, my bridesmaids and I glance through their bridesmaids dresses for ideas. Again, the saleslady NEVER checks on us as my two girls and I are holding arm fulls of dresses looking for the fitting room. 6. When we are done and picked out the top choices that we will look for at OTHER HELPFUL boutiques, we leave and say goodbye and don't hear her respond (She is at the counter talking to a friend) until the last one of us is out of the door. I was incredibly surprised by the lack of customer service. I highly suggest all future brides to STAY AWAY from this hell hole. I have worked in retail for years and cannot entirely describe the disgust I had with this boutique. I would rather travel four hours and pay triple the price of a gown before I step foot in such a horrific place again.
