    Love these ladies!

    All of these ladies are extremely helpful and accommodating. Even when you're indecisive like myself. I got a beautiful dress and also love the selection here!

    Perfect wedding dress

    I went into Camilla's with a general idea of what I wanted and some anxiety about whether I'd be able to choose a dress. Nivia instantly calmed my nerves with the dresses she picked for me to try on. With each one, she was helpful in pointing out which things could be altered without pushing me toward any of them. Once I got it down to two, she took pictures for me (I chose to go dress shopping alone because I'm easily swayed by friends' opinions and wanted to have a dress I loved) and encouraged me to think about it and come back. The dress I ended up with was beautiful, and I got many compliments on how perfectly "me" it was. I would absolutely recommend Camilla's. One piece of advice: If you go with their recommended seamstress (Violette) and have the option to try the altered dress on at Camilla's, do it. Violette did great work, but I found it helpful to have Nivia there too also making suggestions.

    Excellent Place to get a Dress

    Camilla's Bridal was fantastic! I just got my wedding dress from there and from the very first day they went above and beyond. I knew my dress was the one after looking online, and I emailed them to see if they had it in the store. Sure enough, they did, and it was gorgeous in person. It arrived right on time and the seamstress who did my alterations was excellent. They also put in an order for my veil, which I fell in love with and decided I couldn't live without :) They were so accommodating and kind, very good at communication and fast at responding. Really nice, polite people. When it time to get my dress for pickup, everything was perfect. Definitely highly recommend!

    Friendly, Knowledge & Warm

    The staff at Camilla's Bridal--both Nivia and her mother--offered me some of the best customer service I have ever received. Shopping for a wedding dress can seem like a very daunting task. So long as you have a vague idea of silhouette, fabric or style, Nivia and her mother can pull dresses that match your taste; they make it less overwhelming by selecting gowns for you to try while you wait. From your feedback, they then will select other gowns that more closely match your desired style. They also offer in-house alterations, which is extremely convenient! They even let me come in for about 5 minutes to make sure the shoes that I had purchased on Amazon were the right ivory color and wouldn't match my gown. Each time I stepped into their boutique in Arlington, it felt like I was catching up with some friends. I highly recommend them and would do so to any of my friends who are in need of a wedding dress.

    Beautiful dresses & fantastic service!

    I highly recommend Camilla's! I got my wedding dress at Camilla's and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Nivia was so helpful, attentive, and made the shopping experience so enjoyable for me and my group. Camilla's is a small family business and so the personal attention and customer service you receive with shopping/buying/ordering a wedding dress is unmatched. There was also zero sales pressure which I greatly appreciated. Camilla's also did a great job of measuring me and ordering my dress according to my size. When the dress came in, it basically fit perfectly and I only needed minor alterations. I was also very impressed with their wide selection of beautiful yet reasonably priced dresses. A fantastic shop with beautiful dresses and amazing service!

    Amazing!!!

    Camilla’s was the first and only bridal salon I went to in my search! I was so nervous about the process but Nivia put me at ease right away. Camilla’s has a huge and beautiful selection of dresses in every style. I never felt pressured to buy or try on styles I wasn’t interested in. Nivia also helped me find the perfect accessories, including a veil and add-on sleeves which completed the look perfectly. Highly, highly recommend!!

    Incredibly customized experience to find my perfect dress

    The owner Nivia made the dress shopping experience so perfect and enjoyable for me and my group. I had forgotten when I booked my appointment months earlier that she had asked me to share my wedding dress Pinterest board with her. When I arrived, she had already pulled many dresses that she thought would fit my style. She couldn't have been more on point. I liked nearly every dress I tried on, narrowing it down to a couple that I loved, and finally to the beautiful Maggie Sottero dress I chose. She was also very easy to work with, responsive, and helpful in coordinating alterations and recommending accessories. I also worked with her mother from time to time, and she was great, as wel. I went to David's Bridal before coming here, and the two experiences couldn't have been more different. I can't recommend this shop enough. Thanks for everything, Nivia!

    Great dress shop

    I bought my wedding dress at Camillas. Ultimately I ordered from them because they had the dress I liked the most, but I think their selection was more in line with my taste (classic, elegant) than some of the other places I went to. Got it altered by their associated seamstress, Violette, who did a nice job as well. The mother and daughter who run the place are super nice and helpful. My one word of advice would be to make sure you go into the sunny / bright part of the salon when making selections - they have an area near the register that is a bit dark - I sort of debated the veil I chose and think seeing the options in the brighter light would have been helpful.

    Friendly and supportive!

    Maria helped me find my dress and was the perfect blend of attentive and not pushy. She gave me and my bridal party space to think and debate and did an amazing job of helping my find the perfect dress while staying in my budget.

    Wonderful Experience!

    I purchased my dress from Camilla's and absolutely loved their variety of options at their beautiful store. The family that runs the store is extremely helpful and kind! The woman who does the alterations for Camilla's is highly talented and did a wonderful job with both my bustle and hemming my intricate dress. I highly recommend looking at Camilla's if you are in the Boston area.

    Highly recommend

    Camilla's Bridal came highly recommended to me and I was not disappointed. Nivia was able to help me find the perfect dress- and I didn’t give her much to go on! She listened to everything I liked/didn’t like until we found the one! She also helped me pick a belt , headpiece and veil that complimented the dress.

    My mom also got her mother of the bride dress here and was super happy with it!

    Service was top notch- I was called as soon as my dress came in! And Nivia stayed a few minutes late when I came to pick it up (much appreciated as this was a very busy week!)

    Perfection

    Camilla’s was perfect. Nivia knew exactly what I wanted and pieced all together beautifully. Also very accommodating to my large loud family! Wish I could go back just to try on all the beautiful dresses! I

    Thank you to the ladies of Camilla’s for making me feel my most beautiful on my wedding day!! It was an absolute pleasure from my first experience trying on gowns to the final fitting. I felt comfortable, not pushed or rushed and I felt like my vision and my personality was clearly understood. I came in with some ideas and ended up with my dream wedding dress! I almost wish I could come in for more visits just because I loved the experience so much! I highly recommend Camilla’s to all Boston area brides!!

    It was a pleasure working with Nivia and Maria at Camilla's! I discovered the store after an unpleasant experience at another store where they wouldn't assist me with finding a dress from a brand they already carried. Camilla's had my preferred designer brand and a wide selection of dresses within that brand and all other brands they carried. I ended up purchasing my bridal dress, veil and bridesmaids dresses here. There was a shipping delay with the bridesmaid dresses, but Nivia took the time to go to UPS to sort it out. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend anyone to go to Camilla's for their wedding dress!

    Ladies of Boston, this is the place to go when shopping for your wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, or mother of the bride dresses!

    Nivia was fantastic! My family and friends all live in Virginia, so I went to my initial consult and most of my fittings alone (my mom was able to make it up for one of the fittings). Nivia, her mom, and her sister all made me feel like I was part of their family – they knew me by name when I arrived for my appointments or called in with questions, and Nivia was incredibly helpful and honest in assisting me with customizing my dress.

    When I first arrived, Nivia was great in selecting different types of dresses to try. She gave me her sincere opinion of what looked good and guided me through the process – I really appreciated that about her since I was there alone and was pretty open to any and all suggestions.

    In the end, she and the seamstress came up with a fabulous idea for customizing my dress. I LOVED it and received hundreds of compliments on it at my wedding. I could not have been happier with their services and help!

    Camilla's was great. Everyone was so friendly, and I actually felt like I was part of their little family. They have every type of gown imaginable, their tailor did fantastic alterations (she literally de-volumized my dress because I loved the top but thought the bottom was a bit too-princessy for my liking), and I greatly appreciated that unlike other places, they do not pressure you AT ALL into purchasing a dress. My dress was gorgeous and I got compliments all night. This was my third stop in looking for a gown, but it would made my life easier if it had been my first. I would highly recommend them!!

    Camilla's was fantastic. It was our third bridal shop of the day and my MOH and I were so glad that we found this shop. The team there is so accommodating and knowledgeable. I knew things were going to go well when I explained what we had found previously in shops, what was working and what wasn't and they took that information and picked the dresses for me. The second dress I tried on was the one. They addressed all the concerns I had regarding alterations that need to be done, showed me what accessories might work best with the gown, and were overall just great to work with. Being someone with a larger bust size it had been challenging to find a dress where I felt comfortable and not worried about moving around but all those concerns were addressed for me and I wound up feeling even better than I thought I would. Even though they had other customers in the store, on a Saturday, I received attention from all three staff members who each brought something to the table to make my experience an excellent one. I would highly recommend Camilla's to anyone looking for a place to enjoy wedding dress shopping.

    Coming to Camilas was one of my favorite parts of all of wedding planning! It was such a wonderful experience and is a beautiful shop with the sweetest people. I am a bit shy and was nervous about dress shopping but loved every second of being there! Thank you for making my day special! :)

    We went to several dress stores around Boston and had the best dress shopping experience at Camilla's, no comparison! Nivia is fantastic to work with, super sweet, helpful and flexible and really knows how to create the right vibe for her customers...making you feel like she actually cares about your day, vs. a lot of "factory" stores that treat you like cattle. A great selection of dresses to begin with, topped by amazing store experience and followup...I'll be recommending them to my friends for sure.

    This place is the best! It is a very friendly, welcoming, and comfortable environment. At Camilla's they truly want you to love your dress and be happy with the experience. I was lucky enough to get to work with Maria and she is so kind and so helpful. She looked at a few pictures and was on her way to picking out the perfect dresses, knowing exactly what I was looking for, even if I maybe didn't. She was patient and honest and I never felt pressure to buy a dress. She encouraged trying on the same dresses I was deciding between over and over and taking pictures of them so I could sleep on it!
    This was an additional but very important highlight of this store. You can take pictures of yourself in the dresses and you can go into the dressing room and change into the dresses without having someone from the store in the dressing room with you. There is help if you need it, and they tie and button when you ask and are ready but you are not required to get half naked in front of a stranger, which happened at the three other stores before I went to Camilla's.

    I loved my experience here and felt like I was treated more like family than a customer. I would highly recommend it to everyone. A heartfelt thank you to Maria, you made my experience so wonderful!
