"Loved my experience at Dantela! The two women who own and run this shop are incredibly sweet and helpful. I felt like I was being taken care of by my aunts the entire time! My dress arrived 5 months after ordering, and I am still thrilled with my decision! They do not do alterations in store but have a solid recommendation with someone they trust and have worked with for years."

"I had the best experience finding my dream wedding dress at Dantela!! I came in with an idea of what I wanted, but they were so knowledgeable about what would flatter me, I ended up in a completely different direction that I had thought. I will not stop recommending them as they have been a joy to work with through the entire process!!"

"I cannot say enough about this place!! The sister owners of this store are absolutely amazing. First of all, they have the best selection of European dresses that flatter the female figure properly and are made with quality workmanship and materials. They have fair prices. Their customer service is just mind blowing- they felt like my aunties showing me what they liked, stayed extra AND opened the store just for us on their day off because my mom flew in from out of town- I cannot say enough of how amazing these ladies are- wish I could invite them to our wedding. Honestly, going anywhere else during your shopping experience would be a mistake!"

"Dantela Bridal Couture helped me say yes to my dress! Run by the loveliest pair of ladies. I felt right at home trying on dresses. The whole experience was great start to finish and I got to go home with my dress that same day!"

Dantela's owners, Lumi and Anca, are bridal experts - providing helpful advice and recommending gorgeous gowns. Although I ended up finding my dress elsewhere, I would recommend Dantela 100% over some of the other shops nearby in the suburbs as well as in downtown Chicago. These ladies helped me find the "true" vision for my wedding dress, and made me feel oh-so-special. They are attentive, kind, and fun! Highly recommend

I have nothing but positive things to say about the ladies at this bridal shop! Lumi and Anca were amazing to work with. They were the first and only bridal shop I went to, to find my dream wedding dress. They were so attentive and kind throughout the whole process, making sure my mom and family that were there felt included as well. I really appreciate the fact that they were not pushy at all and I never felt forced to buy anything from them. They truly made me feel like they were looking out for my own best interest, not only theirs. At the end of the day, I trusted them and went with the fantastic seamstress they recommended! I highly recommend Dantela Bridal Couture to any bride looking for their dream wedding dress!

I love this shop! The team there is so nice and know what they are talking about. This is where I found my dress! and they recommended a fantastic seamstress and did their best to work with my budget and provide me extra. Also such a cute shop with lots of styles to try on.

Laura

Thank you! Thank you for helping me find the dress of my dreams! Lumi and Anca (sisters) are simply a joy to work with! They put me in a dress that took my breath away!

Kristin

I loved this small shop, right outside the city. The ladies who own it make your experience personal and truly care that you find your dream dress. So much so that they were able to get a trial dress shipped in that I found on a designer’s website. Thank you Lumi and her sister for all your help!!

The ladies at Dantela are amazing!! I was indecisive about two and they made the whole process of choosing my dream dress so easy and fun! Not to mention, they were very helpful throughout! They have beautiful dresses and know their stuff. This is a must go! :)

I found my dream dress here and it was perfect! The ladies who own the salon were amazing and awesome to work with. Pulled all kinds of dresses for me to put on until we found the right one. They were so patient..especially with the 10 girls I brought with me.

Monica

The ladies that own this store, Lumi and Anca, are amazing! They made me feel like a queen! They truly took the time to help pick out dresses that flattered my body type while staying in my budget. They listened to what I wanted. What I appreciated the most was that they took the time to pin and clip every dress on me so I actually got to see what each dress would look on my body if it were true to size. Picking out “the dress” is such a difficult decision, and they truly helped in making my decision easier and fun! After saying “YES!” to the dress my Mom, bridal party and I were given champagne and took lots of pictures. Overall, a great experience for a moment I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl. I highly, highly recommend this place!!

Although I didn't get my dress here, the experience was phenomenal. Both owners, sisters, were a delight to work with. My sister in law is Romanian, so they immediately embraced her like family when we arrived. The Pronovias selection is amazing, and both of them made me feel like a model. If it wasn't for another boutique where I had my eye on the dress I ended up with, I'm sure I would have found my dress here. I highly recommend coming here and wish the owners the best of luck!

Ashley

Must go! What a great experience. Lumi, the owner is amazing. She helped me find the perfect dress. This salon has so many unique styles. I️ recommend this place for every bride. Can’t wait for my future husband see me walk down the aisle!!
