Casa de Novia Bridal Couture

I wanted to get my dress from here, but unfortunately they didn’t carry the designer I settled on.
Carmen was amazing — steady, patient, honest and didn’t pressure me ever.
My family and I were made to feel at home when we arrived and that continued with every consultant — and the other brides shopping too! I picked my choices and Carmen picked some as well that she felt would compliment. We instantly bonded and she was unafraid to speak her mind in the kindest way possible.
I really, really, wish my dress had come from here because of how great the experience was, but it wasn’t meant to be.

I could not have had a more wonderful experience shopping for my wedding gown. The staff is nice and knowledgable and made me feel right at home. I did not really know what I pictured myself in for my wedding, but they were able to help me create a vision and find the perfect gown. Truly no where else to go in Houston!

Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! The consultants are easy going and know what they are doing. The dress selection is definately different and like nothing else in Houston. It can be expensive yes but there are some dresses that aren’t 5 digits. The shop has their own seamstress who can do basically any change you could imagine to any dress and truely make a one-​of-​a-​kind look. I interacted with Luvi and Emily and loved them both!

Unilocaled removed my previous review on this bridal shop saying there were private information disclosed? Anyway, I must write another review on what a horrible experience I had here.
The store itself is ok with some selections of high end gowns but the lady that helped me was beyond rude. Both my bridesmaid and I left the store feeling extremely rushed and disrespected. She was very snobbish and kept on telling me not to try this or that gown because it is out of my budget.
Needless to say, I am not going back to this store ever even if it is the only store that carries Vera Wang. Worst customer service one can imagine!

I was so impressed by the non-​pushy approach of Carmen. She was very tuned in and quickly figured out what I did and did not like. She is sweet and helpful, which is exactly what you want in a bridal gown consultant. Casa de Novia is a lovely boutique!

I did not like the service. I got there a few minutes late and understand that that may have been the reason for the trial to be rushed. The first day I went there the lady that attended to me seemed aloof and like she wasn’t paying attention to what I was saying. The day of the actual dress fitting I felt like the attendant (Sarah) wanted me to leave as soon as possible. I was told by a couple of the people that left the same store, that this happen because I probably didn’t look like I could purchase an expensive gown (!). Another made a comment about my skin color being a factor, but I doubt it because the aloof attendant was also mixed.
Dresses: many were gorgeous, but did not have the same variety as other bridal boutiques with the same price range.
(Note to a previous reviewer: this IS NOT the only boutique that carries V. Wang dresses)

I feel bad to leave 4 of 5 stars but only because I didn’t find MY dress here. I came close to it except the price of the dress was outrageous! I loved the dress but after some thinking and trying on dresses at other places, I am glad I didn’t go with that dress. It looked great on but not in pictures. Also, I found the dress online for half the price.
Other than that, the lady I had helping me was very kind and helpful. It was my first time trying on gowns and she hand selected a few that she thought I would like. Most of them were ballroom and/​or mermaid. The dresses were beautiful and plenty of lace (that seems to be what most girls want). I recommend coming here if it is your budget. Sadly, the $ 12G dress I loved was not the best option for me.
Also, there isn’t THAT many dresses to choose from. 2 walls of dresses.

This boutique helped me find my dream wedding dress. Carmen was patient during all my changes and made the whole dress selection process easy. They were very accommodating, had great ideas, and helped me find my dress! I would highly recommend to any of my friends and family!

This boutique is the only place in Houston that carries Vera Wang gowns. I am in love with her designs so I have always wanted to wear one of her gowns down the isle. Sarah and Carmen were both very kind and helpful. They were also very patient with me since I am very indecisive and went back so many times! They gladly helped me even when I didn’t have an appointment and just stopped by. With their help, I finally said YES to the dress! I am extremely satisfied with my experience at this boutique. Great dresses and service!
I would recommend making an appointment to save yourself some time. Even though they were willing to help me when I walked-​in, they were also busy with other brides.

I loved every minute of my appointment with Carmen! She was extremely nice and helpful. I even have texted her for some additional information!
I highly recommend Casa de Novia

I have nothing but great things to say about Casa de Novia.
The first time I had visited the store was in Nov of 2013 for the Monique Lhuillier trunk show. My attendant for the day was Carmen. She was so sweet, helpful, and patient. She does a nice job at suggesting dresses but also lets you try on things you pick out on your own as well. I was fortunate enough to try on a plethora or Monique & Vera gowns that day. Unfortunately, I didn’t find «the one».
Fast forward to Jan of 2014. I was browsing a bridal magazine and found the gown of my dreams. I contacted the designer for Isabelle Armstrong and found out that Casa de Novia was going to start carrying the dress line but did not have any of their gowns in yet. CDN worked with the designer and had them ship the dress from New York right away. The call was placed on Tuesday and the dress was in the store by Saturday. I knew right that when I put the dress on, it was «the one»! My attendant that day was Sarah who was just as helpful as Carmen.
Casa de Novia went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience possible. I would recommend any bride who wants an extra special experience to go here.

While I sadly did not purchase my wedding dress from Casa de Novia, I still feel compelled to write a review applauding their spectacular consultants and gorgeous store. Sarah made the entire experience flawless and much more enjoyable than any boutique I had visited, even going out of her way to come in and assist me during her off-​time. She encouraged me to try on all sorts of styles, but at the end of the day was able to hone in on exactly what I was looking for. Every gown they carry is simply stunning. Sarah provided many helpful recommendations and extended a great deal of patience with such a picky bride! Therefore it was no surprise when she graciously continued to offer her guidance even though I fell in love with a dress elsewhere-​she worked with them to ensure every last detail remained absolutely perfect. I cannot thank her enough for her help in the entire process. I now tell all of my friends to shop here, as I know they will be well taken care of and leave with their dream dress!
