Testimonials
I was so pleasantly surprised first of all she (owner) understood what I was looking for, I had a vision in my mind and I was describing it to her and she listened very carefully and attentively.”
At the end of the day I selected to do a custom dress and I am very glad I did because I was extremely pleased with the results.
“There’s no where else in this area or even in the greater New York City area that had the patience and the expertise to meet what I was looking for.

I had an amazing experience with Aleana’s! I went into the store having no idea what I wanted. The staff were so kind and patient in helping me try on numerous dresses until I found the perfect one. I wanted to add sleeves to the dress I chose – Lana and their AMAZING seamstress Elena worked with me every step of the way to pick the fabrics, design, length, etc. I’ve never felt prettier than I did when I was wearing the dress! I can’t even count how many compliments I got on my dress both at the wedding and from people seeing pictures afterwards. Lana and Elena created my dream dress and I couldn’t be more thankful for them! I wish I could wear the dress again and again!!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Aleana’s. Of all the details that go into planning a wedding, one of the most important purchases is the wedding dress. Picking the perfect dress was essential to me, knowing that for this one moment all eyes would be focused in my direction and I wanted to make sure I did all I could to find the perfect dress. My husband and I are so lucky to have found Aleana – her skill and dress selection made an unforgettable wedding day more perfect than I could have imagined.
I had gone to a few stores prior Aleana’s but once I stepped in her store we clicked instantly. She has so much experience and knowledge about how certain dresses would look in certain lighting, scenery and even on body types. That creativity and attention to detail allowed me to relax immediately. She’s also a great seamstress and made sure everything fit perfectly. Aleana was patient, kind and always willing to fit me in for a quick meeting or phone call. Before picking my dresses (one for the ceremony and one for the reception), I must have gone in to try on her selections way too many times to count and each time she showed me great warmth and patience.
The prices are also very reasonable. Like I said, we bought two absolutely stunning dresses from Aleana and didn’t need to break the bank to do so. At the wedding all the guests couldn’t decide which dress they liked more, which made me feel fantastic. Even 4 months later I can’t tell you which one I liked more – they were both stunning!
Her store is also quiet and personal – you don’t feel like a number or rushed. This allowed me and my family to throw out different ideas with her regarding jewelry, the veil, etc. Aleana usually does have an opinion on anything you ask her but never does she push or act like you must follow her advice – she just wants her customers to be happy and I surely was and still am to this day.
I recommend Aleana’s Bridal to anyone looking for a stunning selection of wedding dresses with a personal touch money just can’t buy.

Stunning dress for my special day!!
Let’s start off by saying how much I hate shopping. I’m probably the worst girl ever, so the task of having to search for my wedding dress was absolutely daunting. I had the best Maid of Honor (my sister) booking appointments for bridal shops to check out & Aleana’s was one of them — Jamie was the one helping me figure out what my dream dress would be. She was incredibly knowledgeable of everything they had in the store & even took the time to ask about what venue I had chosen for our wedding (I didn’t think that would be important at all). She was familiar with the space (Liberty Warehouse) as well as the rustic feel that we loved & it was amazing how she was able to take my vague ideas of what I think I would like in a dress & the style of our venue & found my dress in minutes!! The moment I tried it on, it felt right & it flattered my body type. To make sure I wasn’t rushing the decision, I proceeded to check out a few other shops but it always came back to that dress … it was the absolute best choice I ever made. I received nothing but the highest of compliments on it, including my husband upon “first look” on our wedding day (which is all I could ever ask for). The team at Aleana’s bridal was amazing from beginning to end — from saying yes to the dress to the phenomenal seamstress that made it fit like a glove on our big day. Thank you so much for making me look gorgeous on the BEST day of our lives!! 🙂

I highly recommend Aleana’s Bridal! I ended up going to a total of five bridal salons and nothing compared to the level of service and selection that Aleana’s had! They were extremely accommodating to me – I came in on separate occasions, by myself and with my family. Milda was my bridal consultant and helped me find the perfect dress. Milda was so patient, kind, and genuinely excited for me throughout the process. Lana was always nearby to offer me helpful advice during my visits. I am very happy to have found Aleana’s Bridal and look forward to my fittings. I know I will be in good hands!

Where do I begin with this absolutely amazing place?! Before finding Aleana’s Bridal I had been to several other bridal shops and tried on countless other gowns, none of which were what I envisioned myself in for my wedding day. I was tired of pushy saleswomen who claimed to “just want me to be happy” but in reality just wanted commission from a sale. Other stores did not listen to me and only pushed one type of gown on me. I was ready to give up and just buy an ordinary white gown and call it a day. Enter Aleana’s 🙂 I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I walked in the door – the environment is laid back yet professional, and I did not feel any of the pressure I felt at other stores. A great atmosphere here all the way around, and you are given plenty of time without being rushed. Everyone at Aleana’s is amazing. I told them what I had envisioned for my gown and they showed me styles that fit my description, and even allowed me to pick out some gowns myself to try on. They truly worked with me to find what gown would look best on my particular body type/shape. I was convinced I did not want a spaghetti strap gown, but they showed me this very unique one that I absolutely loved, and it ended up being the dress for me due to how flattering it was. Please allow the ladies here to help you…you may think you want a particular style but they might have something in mind that they believe will be much more flattering for you, while still incorporating your wants and needs. Every bride is unique and no bridal shop understands that more than Aleana’s. It doesn’t hurt to at least try on what they suggest – and I’m so happy I did. Lana and Jamie are total sweethearts and made the process a very enjoyable one for me…and I’m someone who really wasn’t thrilled with the idea of trying on wedding gowns. I also got my bridesmaids gowns here. Ginny, Lana and Jamie all were wonderful with helping us choose a gown that everyone would be happy with. Although there was one or two mixups with sizes once the dresses came in, Lana and Jamie were quick to let me know about it and the issue was resolved immediately. They truly care about their brides and clients. They do not offer alterations for bridesmaids gowns, but that’s true of most bridal shops. My girls got their dresses altered on their own and everything worked out fine. The seamstress was also wonderful, however I can’t remember her name. She was a pleasure to work with and did a wonderful job of making my wedding gown fit me perfectly. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Do yourself a favor and go here, don’t waste hours of your life in other bridal stores that don’t actually care about you like I did. So happy I finally found Aleana’s. Thank you Lana and Jamie for everything! 🙂

Aleana’s bridal helped me find my perfect wedding dress. Lana also helped me pick a detachable skirt and a cathedral veil which were both an exact match to my dress. Altogether, my outfit for the day was phenomenal. A very big thank you to Elena, who did a great job with the alterations and the bustle. They were very patient and accomodating and took time to understand my preferences. I received a ton of compliments on my wedding day and everyone said my dress was unique and elegant. I’m glad I chose Aleana’s bridal!
