Ve’Lace Bridal

I have nothing but love for Shadia & Sandy. After a long day of dress shopping at two other shops, I’m SO glad that I saved, what I’d hoped to be the best, for last… and that it was! I had such a great feeling from the moment we walked in and were warmly welcomed by Sandy and Shadia. After sitting down and talking to Sandy about all of the things I was looking for in a dress, she eagerly went to pull some dresses for me. I loved how excited she was to #1 go find the dresses, and #2 to show me her findings. When I initially told her all of the little things that I liked about the dresses that I tried on throughout the day (at other shops), she said that she had the perfect dress in mind. When she showed me the group of dresses that she pulled for me, there was one that I absolutely loved and I said «I want to try THAT one on first!» She said «That’s the one I thought you were going to love!» All of the dresses that she picked were beautiful, and right up my alley, but there were two that it came down to. I finally chose the one! That first one that came to Sandy’s mind in the beginning. Sandy knows what she’s doing. She listens to all of your wants, needs, visions, and in my case, she was like a fairy god mother. She found that perfect dress for me! After «saying YES to the dress» I felt like royalty while Sandy & Shadia took turns trying different accessories on me while I sipped champagne! Thank you Shadia & Sandy for being so wonderful! I recommend Ve’Lace to all brides! Goind back this week for bridesmaids dresses!

I went in yesterday and was greeted by my bridal consultant and brought over to the couch and asked what my budget was and what I was looking for and what I didn’t like. She then told me she would go shopping for me! At first I can admit I was like wait what??? But it took off slot of stress for me to try and find dresses. I loved it! So I tried on dress after dress and finally found that perfect dress that have me that feeling! I was one of those brides that didn’t believe in getting the feeling when you find the dress! But I tried on this one dress and just had that feeling come over me! All I could think of this is my dress! This is what I’m going to be wearing walking down the aisle and marrying my best friend! Such a wonderful place!

I went in to get my measurements for a bridesmaids dress and the ladies were so friendly and helpful! They answered all of my questions and really helped me understand the process of getting a bridesmaids! They are a wonderful place to go if it’s or your first time in a wedding or even if you have been in one before!

Wonderful experience for my future daughter-​in-​law and am pleased to report she said yes to the dress. Everyone was very helpful, and it was a very relaxing, productive bridal shopping trip. The only thing that I thought was missing was that no one offered us a beverage — even a small bottle of water would have been a nice touch.

This place is great! I went to two other places before here and they don’t even compare. From the minute I walked in I knew this would be the place. Sandy listened to what I liked and pulled dresses based on that, even pulling some I wasn’t sure I would like but I did! I can’t wait for my dress to come in!!!

So far I have had two experiences at Ve’Lace Bridal, and both have been excellent. First, I went there to find my wedding gown. Elizabeth was amazing. She was a great listener and asked the right questions to get ideas about what I had in mind, and was very respectful of budget. I found the perfect dress with her guidance!
Today, I called Ve’Lace to inquire about bridesmaid dresses. I knew the style and designer I wanted, and Shadia was patient, kind, enthusiastic, and accommodating. I places the entire order over the phone, and she was so helpful and patient, asking individual questions about each bridesmaid to make sure the measurements and chosen size would be appropriate.
I cannot say enough about the friendliness of the staff and the level of service that Ve’Lace provides. I look forward to all of our future interactions, and will be referring all of my friends there in the future!

I’ve since found and purchased my dress at Ve’lace! My bridesmaids also found their dresses. I can’t say enough about the service.

From the moment I walked through the door, I knew I was about to have an amazing experience. My sister and I met with Sandy. She saw my vision immediately and was able to produce my dream dress. We had enough time left over that my sister was able to try on a maid of honor dress. The 2 of us were able to order the dresses that day. I loved my experience so much that I went back with my mother to look at mother of the bride. Again, they did not disappoint. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wonderful experience.

While visiting from California with my family and fiancé, and rendezvousing with his east coast family, we decided to schedule a bridal appointment in hopes of starting to figure out what dress style, shape, etc. I liked. Our experience at Ve’Lace was casual, comfortable, and fun. Shadia was great as well; she helped me figure out what I wanted when I had no clue! And because I had no idea what I wanted, I was surprised when I found the dress! I highly recommend anyone in the area, or even traveling to the Boston area, to check out Ve’Lace!

I am so excited to share my experience with Shadia and Elizabeth this morning at Ve’Lace. I booked for a Friday, and when I found out my mother-​in-​law to be would be joining, Shadia was very easy to work with to reschedule the appointment to a time that would work for everyone. I went in with my grandmother, mom, future MIL, sister, and one of my bridesmaids — a lot of opinions. Elizabeth, my main consultant, was quick to listen to everything I wanted (or, didn’t want) and was able to produce exactly what I was looking for. She listened to the feedback from everyone, but focused on ME, and was able to produce THE. PERFECT. DRESS. Not once did she show me a single thing over my price-​range, and they were so easy to work with and talk to, it was like having an extension of my bridal party there. The salon is GORGEOUS, and I loved that the appointment was set for only one bride at a time, so we were able to really get comfortable and didn’t feel cramped. The *only* downside to mention is that it is on the second floor, which was a little challenging for my grandmother.
Thank you Shadia and Elizabeth for making this experience so wonderful!

Shopping for a wedding dress 6 months before a wedding is stressful… Elizabeth at Ve’Lace helped me find exactly what I wanted: A-​line and not strapless. I told her my budget. Not one dress she picked out was out of my budget price range. Awesome!
She showed me a few strapless dresses anyways, and showed me how they can add straps if you want. I ended up wth exactly what I wanted. Knowing my wedding is 6 months away I was extremely concerned I would have to pay for rush shipping– the owner assured me that I have plenty of time and that my dress will arrive in late April/​early May. Perfect!
The salon is absolutely gorgeous, and all of the staff are super friendly. Other than a minor scheduling snafu, everything worked out wonderfully and I am thrilled!!!

I was absolutely delighted with my appointment today. I went in thinking I might not find a dress since I had no idea what I even wanted. Well the consultants were amazing. She picked out the perfect dress immediately. I loved it, I kept trying on other dresses, which were also gorgeous, and ended up saying yes to the first one. Everyone was upbeat and kind. I recommend this shop to any bride looking for a beautiful dress.

Shadia and her staff at Ve’Lace are a great team and love what they do. They assisted and advised as needed, and had ample knowledge about what dress form best flatters what body type. We found a bridesmaid dress that flattered all the girls from size 0 to size 16, and even a mother-​of-​the bride’s dress that is breathe taking and Oscar-​night worthy!
The bride had previously purchased her gown from a different store, but needed a bustle added and Shadia’s team was quick to help which was more than appreciated. The Ve’Lace seamstress Maria is definitely the MVP! She worked with the bride and mother-​of-​the-​bride for a bustle and alterations and say she was an absolute PLEASURE to work with and a magician with a needle and thread.
Even when the 3 bridesmaid’s dresses were delayed delivery for about a month due to technical reasons, Shadia was very transparent and communicative throughout and stayed on top of the delivery, and we had the dresses 2 weeks prior to the wedding.
Unfortunately, the three bridesmaids had a different alteration experience that was less than positive. They were directed towards Boushra Baza of «Beauty Alterations» in MIlford for their alterations and were met with anything but pleasantness. Each woman was reprimanded for the lack of time and told that she may not have enough time to make alterations (2 weeks prior to wedding) and that she would be calling Shadia to talk about this because this is unacceptable!
During the alteration process, Boushra told one of the bridesmaids (size 16) that her hem was crooked because her hips were TOO BIG, that she sewed the neckline «wonky» and would need to tap it down to her chest to keep it up and in place, and that she would need to keep pulling the underslip down because of an additional sewing error. The bridesmaid asked if she could go braless and was assured that would be an easy alteration, and cups would be sewn in. The cups did not fit the chest AT ALL, and created large strange bumps throughout the front of the dress. The end result was a botched and unwearable dress.
This bridesmaid was charged $ 110 (a hem, taken in on the sides, and two cups) Another bridesmaid was charged $ 80 (the bottom of her dress hemmed about an inch and slightly taken in). The dress itself was around $ 220. It’s a strapless chiffon floor length dress.
Thankfully Dona’s Tailoring in Franklin Ma, heard our story and IMMEDIATELY told the bridesmaid to come in and they will see what they can do to rectify the situation. They were SHOCKED at not only the cost of the alterations but the poor quality of the alteration. They removed the cups to find they had been sewed in incorrectly and were fitted for a cup size of B-​C… the bridesmaid was a size D. Boushra never asked the bridesmaid her cup size. The boning on the sides of the dress to keep the front of the dress up had been removed and never put back, which explains the tape instructions. And the sides were not taken in properly which caused the sagging and pulling. Dona’s Tailoring had only 2 days before the wedding to fix the dress and not once did they stress time sensitivity or call anyone fat. They didn’t even need cups for the dress.
Ve’Lace is a great place, but make sure you choose your seamstress wisely. Boushra Baza will overcharge and underwhelm.

Came here to try on a dress that I have been trying to find everywhere. The shop is nice an cozy, probably best for one bride-​to-​be at a time, large mirrors, beautiful couches for your party to sit in. Elizabeth was a charm! Extremely helpful and patient with me as I am all over the place with the different styles I like. She took the time to really hear what I had to say on my thoughts of each dress, what I loved and didn’t love about it, and offered very useful advice. She found the dress that I have been thinking about non stop, and I really think this is the place I will be purchasing my dress from!!! Thank you Shadia and Elizabeth.

If I could give more than 5 stars to Ve’Lace Bridal, I would!
I was just married and got my wedding dress at Ve’Lace last September and the entire experience was perfect and easy. From the day that I picked out the dress (in under an hour — Shadia, the owner, somehow just knew what I wanted. This was also the first and only store I went to), to all the alterations and the final pick up. Shadia and her team went above and beyond. She opened the store early for me. She helped me pick out earrings and gave her honest opinion about everything every time. I put 100% trust in her. She even worked with me when I had a mini meltdown about the zipper showing too much — her and Tosh, the in-​house AMAZING seamstress, came up with a solution that put my mind at ease.
I have recommended Ve’Lace to all of my friends and will continue to do so. Everyone deserves the special bridal treatment that can only be found here.

Had an appointment there today (didn’t find my dress) and they where so friendly and nice! It was upsetting that I didn’t find the best because I would have loved to work with them. They are very helpful and have a great selection of different styles of dresses. If your into the sophisticated, elegant, prince dresses then this is DEFF the shop for you! I will deff keep in mind one of the loaner programs they offer so I might be seeing them again!

I felt like I had to write this wonderful bridal shop a review! The staff & owner here are truly great people… They went above and beyond for me.
–First I called last minute as I was in the area– and they accommodated an appointment for me with a wonderful consultant.
–Second, I came in with a budget (That would be considered extremely low) and I was so impressed with how they worked with me, finding me something that would be within budget. They never once made me feel like, I shouldn’t be there because I couldn’t afford the more expensive dresses. They were welcoming, and extremely professional.
–Also, the owner mentioned she is trying to grow her dress selection in sizes 14+. This is great to hear– as so many brides are in the 14+ group. (I just don’t like the term «Plus Size)
–The shop is beautiful, and the dresses were gorgeous!
I went to a few other shops, and this one was above and beyond excellent!
I would also like to note: I am never comfortable with having the consultants dress me, and they allowed me to pull on my own gowns then came in to help with any final zippers or buttons. A+ This I am sure many ladies will appreciate.
–Lastly, I Let them know that I would have to think about the dress I was considering– and never did I feel any pressure (Like I have at other shops) to buy a dress. No one likes to be pressured, and I really appreciated that.
–Regardless if I end up buying my dress from Ve’Lace or not. they need to be recognized for their wonderful service & professionalism.
–Thank You for the great experience. A+

I have been to numerous bridal shops being the maid of honor for my sister’s wedding and a bridesmaid for many of my friends in the past. I have to say that my experience at Ve’Lace Bridal is more than spectacular. Shadia Velez was my bridal consultant and she is just amazing. She made us all feel very comfortable and was very personable and helpful. She has a great selection of dresses and I loved EVERY single dress I tried on. With Shadia’s expertise and professional opinion, she had me try on dresses I completely ruled out and I ended up going with a something I told her I didn’t like during our first appointment. I am totally in love with the dress I chose and cannot wait to show everyone!
I read some comments below from the customer who complained about not being able to take photos. I have been to lots of boutiques and many of exclusive ones do not allow photography until you make a purchase. I believe this standard practice and does not correlate with poor customer service.
Overall, I highly recommend Ve’Lace Bridal to every bride looking for the perfect bridal gown experience!

I wanted to write a review and let the world know how great Shadia and her bridal shop are. I flew in from San Diego to get married in Newport, RI and needed to have my dress steamed. I called Shadia and she was able to take me the next day to have my dress ready in time.
While I was there, I showed her something the seamstress who altered my dress had done that I wasn’t too fond of. Turns out, the seamstress (a lovely lady from California) had not taken fabric off my dress to take it in, but had just folded fabric from one side over fabric from the other and made her own seam down the back of my dress, creating a huge lump right below my butt. I didn’t realize how bad it was until Shadia gave her honest and professional opinion about it. I knew something was off the day I left the seamstress’ shop, but felt I had way too much going on with wedding planning to really worry about it. After talking with Shadia (two days before my wedding I should add!!!), there was no way she was going to let me walk down the aisle with this huge lump of fabric and oddly shaped wedding dress.
She had her own seamstress come in and perform emergency alterations on my dress that very night. I have to admit when I had the dress on and the seamstress told me to look away while she took a razor to the back my dress, I almost had a heart attack. My dress was ready the next day and I was able to pick it up on my drive to the rehearsal dinner, realllllllly cutting it close. Anyways — the dress looked absolutely amazing and I really owe so much to Shadia and her seamstress. They performed a miracle and I could never thank them enough. Give them all of your wedding business. they will not disappoint!

Now, I haven’t bought a dress yet, but I felt it absolutely necessary to write this review. Shadia is the most amazing bridal consultant/​owner I’ve ever come into contact with! Helpful and attentive is an understatement! I have gone to ALL bridal salons in RI and a ton in Southern MA, and in NH, but trust me when I say this is the first place for you to go.
I found this business while calling around for a specific dress… no one had it… and neither did Ve’Lace. The difference was that she actually did not dismiss me. She WANTED to help me find it, so I made the appointment. During this appointment, she spent over 20 minutes on the phone calling OTHER bridal salons to try and find it (which we did… but in CT). Without being pushy she asked if I was open to try something similar that she had… and she was right… I think I found my dress…
