I highly recommend La Reine on Newbury St. in Boston. I live in NYC but was raised near Boston and am getting married there. I spent many weeks shopping here in NYC and found many "nice" dresses but nothing that was what I had imagined my wedding dress to be. In addition, the prices of the bridal salons in NYC are OUTRAGEOUS! I went to Boston & shopped the bridal shops on Newbury. After many, many dresses and only one (remote) possibility I arrived at La Reine. They squeezed us in and it was a blessing. The owner's assistant talked to me about what I wanted, didnt want, stc. She brought me six gowns all similar to what I had told her about, all with a little twist to my description of my "perfect" gown. I found my dream dress. A beautiful hand made gown that is makes me feel how I always pictured myself feeling in my wedding dress and at an EXCELLENT price. The salon's owner is a God-sent, too. Since my dress is being hand made and wont be finished until July, the owner has graciously welcomed me back several times to try and match jewlery, shoes, headpieces, etc. to the floor sample of my dress that they have. The staff at La Reine is better than I experienced in NYC or at "the" Boston salons. Please visit.......
