I had a great appointment with Fyodor! Their fabrics and craftsmanship are top notch, and the service was very friendly and welcoming.

I called the shop to ask if they sold dresses in my budget. The man who answered burst into laugher in a very condescending tone. It seems other brides have had similar negative experiences with the shop tearing down the brides instead of building them up. Save yourself the trouble and look somewhere with better customer service.

I frantically called Fyodor because I needed last minute alterations on an outside bridal gown. He was honest about what would make the dress fit the way I wanted but kind and truly listened to my concerns. His gowns are beautiful and I felt like he took the same pride in my alterations as he would if it was his own design. Quick turn around. True life saver.

Fyodor was a gem in allowing my whole family, including my elderly grandmother, to join the dress shopping. He also humored us all by putting me in my mother's wedding gown and showing us what it could look like with a little tailoring. It was a really sweet, memorable experience for all of us. I do wish the website were more updated with more photos and working links, and that he asked each bride what their clothing size is before allowing them to make an appointment as he only has one size in store.

Watching your best friend in tears after leaving a bridal shop should be from an amazing experience. However, this bridal shop stripped that away from us. Ladies, be careful where you shop. You should be at a place that is warm and welcoming. A place that wants you to feel and look beautiful, not a place that tears you down. I wish everyone the best of the luck who shops here!

Bridal gown shopping is supposed to be a day of excitement. However, this was not my experience at Fyodor. I had requested an appointment online and listed my budget (which fell into the starting point of dress costs that were listed on their website). Once I got to my appointment, he didn’t know my name and had me re-fill out all of the information I had provided online. Once I filled out the form, he saw my budget and said “Oh no no no. We don’t have dresses even close to this price, not even $2,500”. I completely understood that he uses very fine fabrics, but he went as far as saying “I don’t use cheap fabrics, that’s for David’s Bridal or it is made in China”. I would have never gone to this salon if it didn’t have my budget listed on the website. I left Fyodor feeling upset and unworthy. The dresses in the store looked beautiful, but I will buy a dress that makes me feel beautiful in a store that makes me feel comfortable and confident.

Fyodor was absolutely lovely to work with. I was fortunate to find him and seek out his help with making my dream wedding dress as perfect as possible - and he did just that.

Disappointed with the service during our private appt. The wedding gowns were beautiful however we do not plan to purchase from this location based on the experience. Our bride was only given two dresses to try on after traveling from out of town.

Fyodor and marina were a life savor when I came running to them with ideas for my wedding gown that could not be found in any bridal store . I showed them pictures upon pictures of what I wanted my dress to look like and although some of the ideas were unrealistic , and the models wearing these dresses were size -0, Fyodor and Marina strategized ways to get the same look for my body type and encouraged me to look at other options because I am not a size 0 like these models . It was a long process because I am very very picky , but they listened to every idea I had and either agreed that it would work, or they would steer me away from the idea with their years of experience and problems they have faced in the past . I trusted them because I have seen the beautiful masterpieces that they create every day, with the most beautiful materials I have ever seen. My dress turned out to be exactly what I envisioned, so beautiful but also so light and comfortable. I couldn't live without the "plunging deep V " but with double D breasts , and no way to hold them up without a bra, I started to get discouraged that I would not be able to wear this kind of dress . Marina had a brilliant idea to sew lace onto my bra in the same pattern as my dress and it was perfect . They were very kind, caring, knowledgeable, and understanding through the whole process. I really enjoyed every meeting that we had throughout the dressmaking process and talking not only about the dress, but life in general. In fact this was the only part of the wedding planning that I really enjoyed! I will always recommend the very talented marina and fyodor at fyodor atelier after the wonderful experience I had with them.

This by far was the best experience in the entire wedding process. Fyodor Bridal Atelier is the only place to buy your dress. My wedding dress was a very high priority for me and I was fully prepared to travel to NY or LA to find the perfect gown. Little did I know that we have one of the best bridal shops in our backyard, Cleveland, Oh.
Fyodor Atelier is a brilliantly talented designer. He has high quality imported fabrics from Italy and France to personally fit your body and style. I had the opportunity to be fitted in one of Fyodor’s beautifully customized wedding dress creations. The day the project began, Fyodor was focused and meticulous with every detail. Fyodor did not work alone. He and Marina, his wife, were a dynamic duo and a pleasure to work with. Marina was outstanding. She listened diligently to my requests and made sure the process of finding the perfect dress was painless and stress-free. Despite the busy wedding season, I felt like I was their first priority with the love and attention I received.
I had the autonomy to hand pick the fabrics for my dress. I chose the French lace and organza silk Monique Lhuillier used on her Catherine wedding gown. Fyodor’s exceptional talent made my dream dress come to life. I never imagined something so beautiful envelope my body and accentuate my curves. Fyodor and Marina also helped design a custom veil that included the same lace from the dress.
Working with Fyodor and Marina was an experience I will never forget. Their professionalism and experience made this entire process enjoyable from concept to design. I am forever grateful to Fyodor Bridal Atelier!

I have had the most amazing experience working with Fyodor and Marina at Fyodor Atelier. I searched every bridal shop in northeast Ohio and researched hundreds of dresses online and just could not find the perfect dress and was getting incredibly disheartened. I made an appointment to come to Fyodor, and as soon as I talked with Marina, she picked a few dresses that she thought would make my ideas come to life and I tried on 2 dresses. When I put the second dress on, she took one look at it, asked me to turn it around backwards, and we both just gasped as it was absolutely STUNNING and PERFECT. I instantly felt graceful, classy, romantic, and seductive all at once! She called Fyodor in and he sketched how he would redesign and make it just for me so that it would fulfill all of my wishes. I just visited them yesterday to try it on, and it far exceeds my expectations and the image in my head. I felt like I was absolutely floating in it and the fabrics have the most beautiful sheen and are so beautiful and flowy. They are creative geniuses who really work closely with each individual bride to ensure the bride gets the dress of her dreams. I'm so happy they are designing and making my dream dress and you should be sure to visit them if you are looking for your perfect dress!

Every bride should want Fyodor and Marina behind their design! My dream wedding took place on Anna Maria Island in Florida and my dream wedding dress was found right in my backyard in Beachwood, OH. For months I had been to every wedding boutique, store, show I could drive too! My next move was to fly to new york or chicago b/c I began to feel like my vision couldn't be captured by any local wedding boutique. The day I decided to make an appointment with Marina changed my entire thought process....I had found a designer who was extremely talented, used only the best fabric from Italy, and was so attentive to detail I couldn't believe I hadn't come across them earlier! Fyodor not only designs unbelievable gowns he helps guide you to find the dress that fits your body perfectly and accentuates your best features. I found a dress I was in love with and he worked with the design to tweak all my little requests. From appointments to finalizing and the last dress fitting, Fyodor and Marina were first class! My guests were blown away when I walked down the aisle and my husband couldn't hold back...the dress was what I wanted too...one of a kind! I told all my girlfriends about Fyodor and they cannot wait to get married and work with Fyodor. I truly believe he is one the best designers in the wedding industry and as any bride knows you flip through thousands of magazines, internet sites, tag designers you dream of....none of them came close to what I got with Fyodor! I highly recommend this team if you are looking for a truly couture design and honestly a great price for what you get! :) Thank you so much Fyodor and Marina!! You gave me a couture gown that completely captured my vision!

I just picked up my wedding gown from Fyodor Atelier yesterday and I cannot say enough good things about my experience! Fyodor and Marina made what can be a stressful task of finding the perfect wedding dress simply a breeze. My gown is AMAZING. The quality of the fabric and construction of the gown is like nothing I have seen before or could find at other stores. Both Fyodor and Marina offer their design expertise but also listen carefully to what the bride wants and her personal style. I would highly recommend Fyodor Atelier to any bride, mother of the bride/groom, or any woman who simply wants a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind gown.
