We recently received these beautiful photos from our bride Natalie of her Chicago wedding. Working with Natalie was absolutely wonderful, being an artist herself she had many wonderful ideas to bring to the table to create her one of a kind wedding dress. Natalie is celebrating her one year anniversary as well as the start of her new business venture creating one of a kind wedding invitations here in Chicago at Yellow Paper Bouquet. Congratulations on both accounts Natalie!

We just received these stunning photos from our bride Stephanie and had to share. Her beautiful Navy Pier wedding was organized with the help of Kara from Bliss Weddings and Events and it looks like it was a stunning affair. We had a wonderful time working with Stephanie on her dress and she had these words to share about her experience with us. Congratulations Stephanie!
“You have been such an integral part of my wedding planning process. From the second I tried on your dress, I knew I would be back the next day. Although I had visited a few other stores, there is something so special about your boutique that is hard to describe. Your passion and love for creating these exquisite gowns is what drew me to you. You did not try to “sell” me anything, but let the dresses sell themselves. Your talent and eye for creating these dresses is simply remarkable and quite unique. Knowing you would create a dress around me and my style, rather than pull a dress off the rack, was simply perfect. Every single detail was attended to and you ensured that I was 100% happy with everything! Between your sweet husband and helpful tailors, coming to your boutique was such an enjoyable and memorable experience. I remember trying on the gorgeous veil you created for me, and seeing the genuine look on your face, it just made me feel as if I were meant to wear your designs. Thank you for creating the most gorgeous gown for me! I have already sent numerous friends to come see you to help them find their perfect dress. I wish you the best.”
We had such a wonderful time working with Donley on her wedding dress and wanted to share the kind words she had about working with us on her wedding dress. If you haven’t seen Donley’s incredible Manitowish Waters wedding yet, you can take a peek over on Style Me Pretty.
“Oh Alice, we had so much fun! I knew when I walked in to her West Loop studio that my dress was inside. My mom in fact told me I was not allowed to leave until I picked out my dress.
After debating over the different gowns, Alice turned to me and said, “for you…we do custom gown”. And from that moment on I felt like I was in a fantasy world. We changed the dress several times throughout the process, but the end result, was a completely unique gown that fit me like a glove!
I loved working with Alice and how creative we were able to be together. She is a master of her craft, and her intimate setting creates such a strong sense of bond between her and all of her gowns/brides.
I can’t wait to go back and show her all the photographs.
Thanks for making the process so fun Alice!”
We just received these gorgeous photos from our bride Lyndsay. She had such kind things to say about her dress, and we are so happy that we could make her wedding dress dreams a reality. Congratulations Lyndsay!
“I wanted to give you my sincerest thanks for making me such a beautiful wedding gown. It was an amazing experience getting to work with you. I really appreciate how much you listened to me and my ideas about the wedding dress I saw in my head, but could not find on the rack! You are such a wonderful person and I’m blessed to have had you custom make my dream dress. It made my day so special. I felt comfortable and beautiful in the dress and loved every minute I got to wear it.” -Lyndsay S.

Not long ago our bride Lisa’s beautiful Peninsula wedding was featured on Honey Bee Weddings and she was so kind as to write this lovely review of her experience working with us. We had such a good time working with LIsa and wish her all the best!
“I just wanted to thank you again for creating the most amazing dresses for my mother and me. I couldn’t wait to put on my dress and enjoyed showing it off throughout the night. I felt confident, comfortable, and like a beautiful bride thanks to all the hard work of you and your assistants. I’ll never forget walking to your store, telling my mom that I would not fall in love with the first dress I tried on, and assuring her that we were just looking. Well, from the moment I put on that first dress, nothing else compared. Guests complimented me throughout the night and loved the classic and elegant dress. Overall, the evening was a blast and went better than I ever imagined.” -Lisa H.

“I cannot say enough wonderful words about Alice and the experience I had with her. I knew from the second I stepped foot in her boutique that it was THE place. Everything about the experience at the boutique just “felt right.” Alice and her husband were very welcoming and understanding about everything. I must have tried on every dress in her store, since they are all so gorgeous, and not once did I feel rushed at all. I fell in love with the last dress I tried on but there were a few things I wanted to change about it. Alice was beyond accommodating and helpful with all of my requests. Not only did she meet all of my requests but having her artistic eye made the dress even more gorgeous. She literally made me the dress of my dreams. Her work is truly amazing and the experience she gives to her clients is more than any other high end boutique could come close to. I wish that every bride could experience the professionalism, creativeness, warmth and expertise that Alice and her “family” have to offer.”
