Truly don’t have the words to explain how perfect my experience was from start to finish. I had seen one of Rebecca’s dresses online and knew that I needed to travel to New York to see it in person. My experience trying on dresses was a dream. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and there were so many different sizes of dresses to try on. It just felt so inclusive and wonderful, everything the day should be!! After purchasing my dress, everyone was so communicative, including Rebecca herself! They helped connect me with alterations options in my area and were always available if I had any questions along the way. I truly cannot recommend Rebecca Schoneveld enough. The dresses are so unique and are beyond beautiful and everyone involved really just wants you to have the best experience possible. I couldn’t be happier that this is where I got my dress!

I initially found Rebecca in Brooklyn shortly after I got engaged and I knew I needed to visit her shop - her values, unique styles of dresses that allow customization and prices matched what I was looking for. It was easy to visit her new bridal studio in Irvington from the city and the space was so lovely and inviting the minute you walk in. My experience during my three appointments was incredible and stress-free. Honestly finding my wedding dress was the easiest part of wedding planning because of the amazing team at Rebecca Schoneveld Bridal! Working with Rose from the beginning was such a joy - she is so friendly, attentive and beyond helpful. She immediately put me at ease with finding a dress during two appointments, and even answered questions via email about wedding shoes. Rebecca was equally as awesome, down to earth and so kind. After trying on 10+ gowns, which is quite generous compared to other bridal salons, I ultimately decided on a veil and custom gown (another major benefit of Rebecca Schoneveld's studio). My dress was a Phoebe bodice and Sarah skirt with alterations done by Weilu Fresolone.You must visit Rebecca Schoneveld Bridal if you're searching for a dress that is unique, incredibly comfortable, made with care and beautifully designed, as well as the chance to work with truly amazing and supportive women.Photo credit: Wandermore Photography

The entire experience at the shop was WONDERFUL. I can't speak more highly of the team here. I'll start with Rose, my consultant, who was SO kind & attentive and made my experience such an enjoyable & stress-free one. It was my first-ever dress appointment and she walked me through everything step-by-step so I was comfortable. She also made my mom feel very comfortable and it was so lovely to have the whole shop to ourselves during our appointment. I can't thank Rose enough for the care and support she provided us. Even better still, I got to spend time talking and working with Rebecca herself - who is amazing!! She dropped what she was doing to help me envision what I was looking for and became part of the appointment. It was truly special and I'll forever remember the memory.As for the shop - it's absolutely beautiful and lovely, sitting over the Hudson. And the dresses were some of the most unique I had seen during my dress hunting journey (and beautiful quality). It was truly a gem and I'm so glad I was able to begin my dress shopping journey here. Would highly recommend!!!!

We had a wonderful experience at Rebecca Schoneveld Bridal picking out my daughter's gown for her October 2023 wedding. I found Rebecca's shop on Google and, after reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. My daughter also had visits at some of the larger bridal shops in the NY area, but nothing matched what we found at Rebecca Schoneveld. Rose, who assisted during our fittings, was so fantastic -- she treated by daughter like a queen. We picked out the Jasper, a beautiful boho gown made of Italian lace. My daughter fell in love with the really unique design, the fit, and she says the dress is so comfortable to wear! It is absolutely gorgeous and we love that it's so different from anything we'd seen. Rebecca brought the dress out to my daughter when her gown came in (made to her custom measurements) and she assisted with the try-on and made recommendations on shoes and jewelry. It was so special for my daughter. If you want something truly different, incredibly comfortable, and beautifully designed, you need to go to Rebecca Schoneveld Bridal!! It's been the best experience of our wedding planning thus far.

I found Rebecca on Instagram shortly after getting engaged and knew I needed to visit her shop when it came time to buy a dress. As a plus size person, her size inclusive pledge was a very important point for me when looking at designers and shops. I visited a few other bridal shops before going to Rebecca’s Atelier and really didn’t find anything I liked enough to consider buying and found the experiences filled with pressure from the sales teams. From the moment I stepped into Rebecca’s shop I knew the experience was going to be different. Rose and Rebecca were absolutely incredible, so kind and flexible and I ended up walking away having ordered a custom gown based on the silhouette of an existing dress and the fabric of another piece she designed. I am so thankful for this incredible experience and eager to see how the final dress turns out in a few months! I highly recommend anyone visit Rebecca’s shop. The team is so kind, caring, knowledgeable, and flexible and the gowns are absolutely stunning.

I had the most wonderful experience at the Rebecca Schoneveld Bridal Atelier in Irvington, NY! The beautiful store offers a personal and intimate opportunity to find your dream wedding dress with a gorgeous and numerous selection of styles. Working with Rose was an absolute delight – she is lovely, knowledgeable, and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process.For any fellow NYC brides – it’s a quick ride on the Metro North and walking distance from the train station. Super easy and definitely worth the short trip! I’m so happy with my dress and can’t wait to get married in it! Thank you to the fantastic RS team!

I'm getting married in October and KNEW I wanted a Rebecca Schoneveld dress. I'm a plus size woman and they had an amazing range of sample sizes, which made trying on dresses such a positive experience. Rose and the newest sales associate (I'm sorry I can't remember your name, but also congrats on the new job!) were friendly and knowledgeable.Going in, I thought I knew what I wanted- but I tried on a dress that I hadn't even considered and was SO glad I did.. because that ended up being my dress! So keep an open mind, you never know what you'll find.I look forward to returning for my fittings and alterations.Also, The Red Barn Bakery is just down the road and was amazing. ?

From the moment I saw one of Rebecca's dresses in a magazine I knew I wanted to make a visit to her shop. Her manager Rose was so accommodating and eventually helped me design the custom wedding dress of my dreams! The experience was excellent every step of the way, including meeting Rebecca herself at my final fitting! Thank you to the whole team at RS Bridal.

I first visited Rebecca Schoneveld's shop in April 2022 and went by myself because I had been overwhelmed by my previous experiences at other places. Rose was amazing and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. The studio is beyond gorgeous! The appointment was super personalized and private and she let me try on as many dresses as I liked. I didn't feel rushed or pressure to purchase anything which was so refreshing. All of Rebecca's dresses are so beautiful and unique - I honestly haven't seen a lot of similar designs out there.I found a couple of looks that I fell in love with but it was really important for me to share the experience with my mother and future MIL so we planned an appointment for July so that they could both attend. That appointment was so fun and amazing. I even got to meet Rebecca who was so down to earth and sweet. Rose and the team were so helpful in helping me figure out my vision and I ended up with the best wedding day attire I could ever dream of.I could go on and on about how amazing and special I feel this place is. I can't wait to go back for alterations next year. They are size and diversity inclusive, everyone is so kind, positive, and helpful and truly made the experience stress free. Their pricing is super fair and accessible for all different kinds of budgets. You must give this shop a visit :)

I originally contacted Rebecca in March, as I saw a beautiful dress on an Instagram Ad and a Facebook Ad. I clicked on her website and was so happy to see that it was part of her size inclusive collection. I am a plus size bride, so when I began to look for a dress, I was nervous since I knew that there is not as many options.I continued to look to see if the specific dress I liked was located anywhere near me so I could try it on. I did not see it at any wedding boutique, nearby. I decided to contact Rebecca directly to see if she could help me. She was super helpful! She let me know unfortunately since it was part of her 2020 collection nowhere currently had it. She did let me know there was a similar dress in her 2021 collection, but if I had my mind set on the dress I saw she would remake a sample for me to try on in her Irvington, NY location. She let me know she could have it done as early as May to try on, but I waited until July since I am an October 2022 bride.Fast forward to Saturday, I walked into the beautiful waterfront store and met with Rose. She was so amazing. Upon trying on a couple dresses, she knew exactly what would look good on my figure. Also after explaining what I liked on certain dresses vs others she picked up quickly on what I was looking for. After trying on a couple of different dresses, I said yes to the original dress I saw online and I couldn't be happier with my choice.As a plus size bride Rose made me feel super comfortable and beautiful in every single dress I tried on!There were many things that drew me to Rebecca's beautiful dresses. I loved the fact that you can totally customize your dress if you wish to, I loved that there were so many beautiful size inclusive dresses and I also loved the fact that her dresses are not only beautiful, but also super affordable. I have nothing but positive things to say about my whole experience and would definitely recommend Rebecca Schoneveld Bridal Atelier to every single bride.

I just visited this weekend and haven't purchased my dress (yet!) but felt compelled to write this review after a terrible experience at another dress shop.My experience at Rebecca Schoneveld proved to be *exceptional*. Luckily this was my first stop dress shopping and I'm so so glad it was. Rose was amazing - so attentive and helpful. We tried on soooo many dresses and took a lot of time with each one and she displayed endless patience. We actually overstayed our appointment, which I didn't even realize until I looked at the time because she never mentioned it. I felt heard and cared for, which was really important to me as a nervous shopper!The dresses themselves are beautiful and were a delight to try on. The location itself is also stunning with great light. The custom options are really exciting. It was nice to say "I like this but not sure about this aspect" and be met with a "no problem, we can change that." HIGHLY recommend visiting RS!!!

The Rebecca Schoneveld Atelier was the perfect wedding dress experience for me. I found them through my rabbit hole of googling and I am SO glad I did. My biggest issue of the day was trying on too many beautiful choices! It was truly so fun to be able to see all of the gowns in front of me versus have an attendant bring me selected options, but was far from overwhelming due to the intimacy of the studio and 1:1 appointment.Rose was a pleasure to spend the appointment with and provide me real advice based on her years of experience in the industry! To be able to actually meet and chat with the designer is also rare and I loved the personal attention :) They are more than happy to discuss suggestions to customize their dresses- without the startling price attached. All of this made it the place for me to find my dream dress that I CANNOT wait to see again-lucky me to be able to be the first bride to purchase a 2023 collection gown!! I genuinely look forward to continuing to work with the RS team and will continue to recommend them to all of my future brides to be. THANK YOU

This is THE place to get your wedding dress. I went into the process with anxiety and left with confidence! From location, to personality, to design-Rebecca's place has it all. I felt comfortable from the start and found my dress during my first try on (!!!)-went back to confirm, and was always welcomed with smiles and excitement. There were so many styles to choose from to really get a feel for what is most "you". My fittings went so great (shout out to Bonnie!) and I absolutely LOVE my dress. I genuinely enjoyed my experience and I never thought I would say that. Thank you to Rebecca and her team-you make wedding dreams come true!

I am the sister of a bride to be and we just visited the shop on Wednesday! The experience we had here was phenomenal to say the least. I could tell Rose made my sister feel so comfortable and confident in her decisions about her dress, and it was clear Rose is good at what she does. We also got to meet Rebecca, who also encouraged my sister and just made her so happy with her decision. What a unique experience we got to have here! The rest of the staff was also so kind and welcoming. It was awesome to see my sister feeling beautiful in her dress, and this was in part due to the amazing staff and atmosphere of the place.
