I purchased my wedding dress out of town and was planning on traveling to the bridal salon for alterations. I realized that would be costly, but was absolutely in love with "The Dress." I was worried that I would have a difficult time finding a seamstress to alter my dress because most bridal salons do not do alterations on dresses not purchased in their salons. But Clarissa Boutique solved my problem. I was able to take my dress there and have all of the alterations done. They did an excellent job and I was more than pleased with the outcome. My dress fit perfectly and the bustle looked great. I was also able to purchase my hair comb and veil from the Boutique as well. Their selection is great and I was able to find items that complimented my dressed beautifully. Clarissa's held on to my dress until the day before my wedding so I didn't have to worry about finding a safe place to store it once the alterations were complete. My experience was wonderful and I would definitely recommend them.

After purchasing my dress in my hometown, I went to Clarissa's Boutique for the alterations. The price was great and they had flexible times for me to stop in for fittings. Karen did an amazing job on my dress and made it fit absolutely perfect!! I also bought the most gorgeous hair pins there as well. I love this place and tell all the brides to be I know about it!

I had a bride's maid's dress altered here for a friend's wedding. It was only 45 dollars! They did an excellent job and were very quick! I would highly recommend them.

Clarissa Boutique provided my veil and headpiece - and I must say, they matched my dress PERFECTLY. Custom pieces, quick service, amazing staff, beautiful selection, and flexible hours! I absolutely LOVE this store and wish I could return for more!

When we decided to incorporate a bunch of family heirlooms into our wedding, we knew that we had to go to Clarissa Boutique. Penny, Gretchen & Earldine are the best in the business when it comes to restoring and refurbishing heirlooms. I restored and modernized my mother’s veil and then used additional lace from her veil and from my mother-in-law’s wedding dress to make ribbons for the flower bouquets. I walked in knowing that I wanted to make the ribbons but did not know how to make it happen. We met with Earldine who quickly came up with a wonderful idea and executed it beautifully. Clarissa Boutique also made us a ring pillow from another family heirloom. They understood how special the items were and came up with beautiful ways to incorporate them into our ceremony.Everyone at Clarissa Boutique makes the whole experience warm and personal. They were easy to work with and their turnaround time is short. Everything they made was even more beautiful than we expected. They understand how special bridal accessories can be and they want to make unique items for you.

The people at Clarissa Boutique were very helpful and friendly as I tried on headbands for my wedding. I purchased a headband that I ended up not wearing for my wedding ( I didn't like the way it looked with the jewelry I had already picked out and was set on wearing). The only bad thing was that Clarissa only offers store credit for returns, and I didn't need to purchase anything else from there at that time. The headband was expensive, so I was disappointed I couldn't get a complete refund.

After reading so many good things about Clarissa's, my daughter and I stopped in to see for ourselves. We were so delighted with the whole experience. It was very busy when we arrived, yet we never felt rushed with our decisions. The woman who waited on us, Penny, was extremely helpful with her ideas. She customized a tiara and veil for my daughter that was more stunning than any we saw at local bridal shops...and for half the price!!! We also purchased a lovely customized unity candle set. It was exquisite and cost less than any we could find at Michael's or Joann's, even with their coupons! We were pinching ourselves when we left...just couldn't believe it...the quality for the price...amazing! We both had an enjoyable time and are thankful for the reviews that led us there.

I wanted a veil and headpiece that would match the style of my dress without being too expensive. The girls in the store were wonderful to work with and they really took the time to help me decide what I wanted. They custom made a veil, headpiece, and jewelry for me to all match each other and my dress for less than it would have been to get just a veil or headpiece from other places. I was so happy with the quality, service and price that I went back to get jewelry for my bridesmaids and flower girls. It was great to be able to get custom jewelry for each girl (they all matched, but I was able to get adjustable necklaces for some girls and clip on earrings for girls that didn't have their ears pierced).

I had my dress altered at Clarissa's and would recommend their services to anyone. They did an absolutely flawless job and are easy to work with and very friendly! They also let me walk around the store in my dress to pick out jewelry to finish off my wedding day look. Definitely check this place out if you are looking for unique jewelry, hair combs, purses, etc. Their alterations prices are also fair and reasonable.

I got my veil from here. They were the nicest ladies! They helped me out a ton. They were very knowledgeable and let me try on as many veils as I wanted. They also let me bring in my dress to try on the veils. Most stores don't let you do this. I highly recommend going there for veils and headpieces.

This boutique has everything from flower girl baskets to jewelery and head pieces. They custom made everything for me to match the beading in my dress and it was gorgeous. A little pricey but gorgeous.
