If you're a bride to be and reading this, look no further! Personally I have tried on so many wedding dresses (lost count!) from Saks, Kleinfield, Bridal Reflections, RK Bridal, Gabriella Bridal Salon... basically any bridal salon you can name in NYC! None of them came out the way I wanted and I felt so defeated because I thought you're supposed to cry and be like "Omg this is it!". Thankfully one of my bridesmaids came to save the day and introduced me to Angelo Lambrou's atelier. From then on it's been nothing but a bliss! I love Angelo's atelier as it was so serene, beautiful and cosy! Every visit brings joy and laughter along with vino! The moment I told him my vision he sketched out exactly what I had in mind to the T! Every single step of the creation process is flawless and you really get to appreciate and enjoy couture! His artisan and craftsmanship has no match and he is simply the sweetest human being! He helped me complete the look with a custom birdcage veil, shawl for the ceremony, dramatic detachable cathedral train and even made my wedding shoes for me! I can't thank Angelo enough for helping us on our wedding day and made every moment magical (especially the photos!). He was truly there every single step of the way and even helped to fix last minute dress drama for my mom and bridesmaid! If you're into a lightweight, comfortable, one of a kind dress then Angelo definitely has the solution for you! Wish you all the best!

Angelo is beyond the best of the best. My dress was stunningly beautiful and fit perfectly. His aesthetic, attention to detail, and skill level are out of this world, not to mention how fun it is to be around him. He is willing to work with you to make your dress the dress of your dreams. I didn't want to take my dress off!

I had a fantastic experience dress shopping at Angelo's. I only had 6 months to plan my wedding, making it crunch time to find a dress asap.

I thought dress shopping would be easy as I really do not like elaborate, giant princess wedding dresses. I figured it would be pretty easy to find a simple and elegant dress. WRONG - it's easy to find a simple and ugly, or simple and overly plain, or simple and polyester wedding dress, but not a simple, elegant dress with amazing lux fabrics and ridiculous details.

Luckily I found Angelo on New York Magazine's bridal gown list, and oh am I thankful that despite my fear that this was beyond my budget, that I visited his studio any way. I really thought all the beautiful gowns on his site would be financially out of reach, but I found the pricing to be reasonable and he was able to create my custom dress within 3 months. His off the rack options are good but he was also very willing to create a custom design with me within my price range, based on my style. I was really pleased that even with the custom option, Angelo was able to meet my tight timeline which is unprecedented in the wedding industry. We even ran into some snags with color and fabric that he was able to alleviate before the time of delivery.

As an added bonus, you'll also be getting really awesome wedding feedback from someone with amazing taste while you chat during the fittings. My dress came out great and everyone loved it. I'm not someone who was looking to be a princess for the day, but everyone appreciated how much it embodied my style and was the perfect dress for me.
