“I connected with Made by Anatomy to do some semi-custom work on my wedding dress last year. From my first meeting with them, I knew I had made the right decision. Ali (the owner) and her team are super kind, encouraging, patient, and willing to find a creative way to execute your vision. I liked how Ali, as a designer, was able to accept more challenging requests, beyond alterations. Ali also used her design background to make really considerate recommendations that supported my vision along the way.
I also opted for the Day of Concierge service and it was one of the best things I did to ensure the day ran smoothly. Made by Anatomy steamed a number of outfits, giving everyone back much needed time. When it came time for outside photos, Ali styled my dress, making sure it was placed nicely, and when we were done, she cleaned all the dirt off my train so it was spotless for my ceremony. Above all else, she was a positive, calm energy that every girl would love to be around on a busy day!
Made by Anatomy are professionals and lovely to work with. I would choose them again and have recommended them to family and friends.”

“I had an AMAZING experience at Victoria's Bridal!! Before booking, I reviewed their website and looked through the designers they typically carried, finding a variety of dresses that I loved. At my first appointment Angela took the time to review my dress style, pulled a bunch of dresses, keeping in mind my budget, and I could then decide which dresses I would like to try on. Angela helped me narrow down my choices and I almost left with a dress that day. I loved the dress itself but there was one part that did not sit right with me as I imagined myself walking down the aisle. When I spoke with the owner the next day stating I was not going to take the dress, she asked if there were any other dresses I wanted to try and I happened to find one online by the same designer that I LOVED, earlier that day. The owner went out of her way to obtain the dress for me to try on, I fell in love and said yes to the dress!! Victoria's truly makes you feel welcome and comfortable in your own skin. I would definitely recommend!!”
“As a six foot tall bride-to-be, who usually has significant challenges finding clothes that aren't made for the average, 5'4'' woman, I was sure that wedding dress shopping would be a nightmare - ugh! To get an understanding of what the scope of my challenge would be, I booked an appointment at the Bridal Chateau during their July sale event with no expectation or hope of finding a dress that day.
Upon entering with my mother (who was just a few days post-op of an orthopedic surgery), we were greeted by Olivia's smiling face. She showed us to a large, private room that easily allowed for my mom to sit is a comfortable position, and would allow for others with physical temporary or permanent challenges to sit comfortably with ease.
Olivia then asked about my vision and budget. I told her squeamishly (expecting to have to pick based on what fit, not what I actually desired to look like), and noted the July sale. She asked a few clarifying questions, and then graciously offered to start with sale options and work our way up from there.
Ladies let me tell you that she listened to everything I wanted and absolutely nailed the selections! Every dress, even the wild cards, were tightly focused to what I asked for, and as we progressed, she continued to listen, adjust, and pull more as I started to discover what I truly loved.
She was patient, and kind, and offered genuine suggestions as if she was an old-friend...with no hard sell or over focus on the appointment duration time that I've experienced elsewhere with friends trying on dresses for their weddings.
Long story short, I found my dress, and Olivia found the most perfect veil to complete the look to boot! Upon measuring to order, she thoughtfully walked us through considerations when deciding whether to order up or down as my measurements fell right between two sizes. When telling her, I was leaning towards the smaller, she found a dress in that size, in the same silhouette made by the same designer and had me try it on to ensure I felt confident in the decision.
Checking out was a breeze, and she thoroughly went through what to expect re: ordering, delivery, alterations.
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much Olivia and Bridal Chateau team!
*Tall brides - every dress I tried had the perfect amount of length, even so much that I could wear a heel if I wanted! I was SHOCKED!
**If you have an appointment time that is the same time as the business opens, they do not open the doors 5-10 minutes early for patrons to check-in, etc (i.e. we waited outside the door, until they unlocked the door at 1pm - not a big deal but just something to note)”
“Marianna Bridal was my second bridal shop to look and I found my dream dress! Susan is absolutely amazing and listens to what you like and don’t like. She will recommend dresses based on what she hears and she absolutely knows what to have you try on. She has beautiful gowns! I had an amazing experience and highly recommend Marianna Bridal/Susan!”

“Ilana is the absolute best!!! I had a wedding dress nightmare that needed fixing pretty last minute, and she got me in and completely fixed my dress in time for the wedding. I didn’t even need to say a word- she just looked at it and knew exactly what needed to be done. She is amazing at what she does and is a perfectionist. 100000/10 recommend her to all brides!”
“We had a wonderful experience with the manager Matthew at the Galleria Mall location. He was kind, friendly, helpful and very professional throughout our entire experience working with him. Assisted with last minute adjustments. Would highly recommend.”
