Dear
Aria,
I
just wanted to say that I was thrilled by how beautiful my bridesmaids
dresses were. The girls looked beautiful and I got so many compliments
on
the dresses throughout my entire wedding day. I have attached
a picture of
me and my bridesmaids...they wore Style #108 in Leaf. The color
was
absolutely perfect for a spring wedding! And the girls liked
the dresses so
much that one of my bridesmaids is ordering her dresses from
Aria for her
November wedding.
Thanks
again!
P.S.
Your Washington, DC store is so fabulous...my girlfriends and
I have
had several appointments there and your staff is so sweet and
wonderful!
It's been a pleasure to work with them!

Hello
Aria!
I
just wanted to send a photo of my bridesmaids - at our wedding,
they each wore Aria Dress #160 in Cranberry Stripe, and all
of them looked gorgeous. The knee-length shantung dresses were
perfect for our VERY hot Chicago wedding day in mid-July. One
girl is pregnant - and several others recently had babies -
and the petite and regular sizes all fit them beautifully. Thank
you so much for making part of my wedding planning REALLY easy!
The dresses got raves all day and night, and in addition to
being cute, the girls said that they were extremely comfortable!
(One girl even wore her dress the next night to another wedding!)
:)
Thanks again ~ I will be recommending your boutique to many
other brides (and already have!) :)

Dear
Aria,
Thank
you so much for making our wedding day such a vibrant and festive
affair! The bridesmaids dresses were spectacular -- all of my
girls (many of whom were skeptical about a mail order dress
company) were thrilled with the quality of the dresses and their
execution. As for me, ordering from you could not have been
easier, and I especially appreciated all of the help you offered
in determining the color of the dresses. I have attached a couple
of photographs for your website -- the pictures (and your work)
speak for themselves!
Many
thanks,
Melissa

P.S.
The dresses are style #109 in burnt orange shantung.

Dear
Aria,
I've
sent a card and a letter through the mail with pictures of my
July 24th
wedding. I wanted to let you know that the dresses were absolutely
stunning
in the pictures! We used cranberry stripe with burnt orange
sashes. The
pictures I sent to you are from our photographer, as the digital
pictures
don't capture the color of the dresses like these do. Hopefully
you won't
have difficuluty scanning them to your website. I've never heard
so many
compliments on a bridesmaid dress, or any dress, in my life!
Thank you for
making the process so easy, and for cutting a dress that looks
great on any
body shape. I've sent many more people your way!
Thank
you so much!

I
just wanted to send my thanks for creating such beautiful dresses.
I had 9
bridesmaids and really wanted to give them a dress that fit
with their
personality and make sure it was something they could wear again.
When I saw
your ad in a bridal magazine I was thrilled! You have so many
dress styles
and colors to choose from! I've always wanted a fall wedding
and purple is
my favorite color so the aubergine in the silk shantung was
a perfect color
for my wedding! The girls had a fun time choosing their own
styles. I have
attached a photo of my beautiful wedding party. The girls loved
the dresses
and many plan on wearing them again for the holidays! I recommed
your dresses to every bride I know and even those I don't know!
Thanks
again,

Dear
Aria--After our October 16th wedding in Alexandria, VA I just
wanted to
say how thrilled I was with your dresses. We ordered a through
the try-on
program and the dresses arrived ahead of schedule. Not only
were they well
made but the girls looked fabulous in them! I am so excited
about the DC
store and am sad I didn't order a dress for myself. I did however
purchase
some extra material and plan on making a table runner. The fabirc
and color
was gorgeous and everyone was very wonderful to work with.
Thanks
for everything,

Hi,
I
was in a wedding this summer where we wore Aria bridesmaid dresses,
and it was beautiful! Each of us ordered a black, strapless
dress with a different color sash around the waist. We received
so many compliments, and the wedding turned out to be gorgeous
- on the beach at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
I
just wanted to say thanks for all of your help in the shopping
process!
We ordered 2 sample dresses to try on, and they arrived quickly,
that really helped in making our decision. Also, I was very
impressed with your customer service.
I've
attached a few pictures from the ceremony. Thanks again!

Dear
ARIA,
I
simply can not say thank you enough! I got married on July 31,
2004 in Kennebunkport, Maine and the Bridesmaids, Junior Bridesmaid
and Flower Girls looked absolutely beautiful in your dresses.
Living in Kansas, planning a wedding in Maine, and having Bridesmaids
all over the country was a bit stressful, but ARIA made the
dress buying process very easy and fun! I chose the color, Celery
Green, and told the girls they could choose whatever style best
fit them- there were 10 girls ranging in age, body shape, personality,
skin tone and hair color. The try on program went flawlessly,
and the girls even sent digital pictures of themselves trying
on the dresses! The dresses arrived one month ahead of the projected
date, and there were no problems. Throughout the day, the girls
received MANY compliments on their fun, flirty, summery dresses
that so eloquently fit the atmosphere. Thank you very much for
your wonderful designs and fabulous customer service. I have
attached a picture!
Sincerely,
Marcie Klein-Blackstone

Dear
ARIA,
just
wanted to say a quick thank you!
As hectic and crazy as wedding planning is, our August wedding
in the wine country
went flawlessly! Everything and everyone looked beautiful...
My
girls LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your dresses. We went all over San
Francisco looking for a fun, flirty, cool(summertime!) and comfortable
look that all the girls could agree on.
While we saw many great options, your dresses still stayed in
the running for overall look (just from pics on your website!)
AND price!
As I left it to the ladies to choose, they took advantage of
your easy try-on program and were instantly in love.
The
dresses came on time as promised and your prompt assistance
and great advice for a couple, slight alterations was a great
help!
The look was perfect for our outdoor garden wedding in wine
country and the girls comfortably danced the night away!
Your
prompt, friendly and always available customer service made
on-line ordering not even a worry...great job!
6 women, all with different styles, personalities, skin, and
body shapes ALL looked gorgeous in your dresses...what more
can you ask for?
Here's
a pic of my ladies in action wearing STYLE 160KA in CELERY and
my flower girl in STYLE 165T in ivory w/CELERY sash.
thanks
again!

Hi!
I just wanted to thank you all for making our experience with
Aria seamless! We had try-on dresses shipped all over the country
at the last minute with no problems and once we ordered you
took care of the rest. Amazingly, none of dresses had to be
altered! Thank you so much for such great service and quality.
Very few vendors take so much care and pride in their work.
I've attached a few pictures. We wanted lots of vibrant colors
in our wedding so I asked my ladies to select any dress style
or length in silk shantung and any of: maize, fuchsia, dark
red, sunset gold, celery or burnt orange colors. They ended
up selecting knee-length dresses in styles 181, 109, 160, 162
in dark red, fuchsia, sunset gold, maize and cranberry stripe
and I gave them matching wraps to pull it all together.
They looked stunning!

Hello
to everyone at Aria!
This
thank you note is long-delayed, but you all provided the most
beautiful dresses for my six bridesmaids in April, I just wanted
to thank you so very much. Because I was a bit hesitant about
ordering online, and because I had plans to be out in LA from
NYC for New York anyway, I spent several hours with you all
in late 2003.
You
could not have been kinder or more helpful, and your customer
service was just as wonderful as your dresses. What I especially
love is your comprehensive website, and the ease with which
my friends could choose their dress styles. Having my friends
wear dresses of their choosing made our wedding even more special,
since everyone felt comfortable and beautiful in the design
they chose. Two of my bridesmaids have even already cut their
dresses short and worn them to other events - a luxury I never
had with a bridesmaid dress! Ha!
I
have attached a photo here, unfortunately not a very good one,
but hopefully it will give you an idea of how great all the
dresses worked together. If I get a better one from our pro
photographer I will certainly send it along. They were various
styles in silver silk shantung. One of my friends was also very
pregnant (she's hiding in the
back) and you were kind enough to ship her additional matching
material so she could have a top made locally, since she had
no idea how big she would be by April.
I
would definitely recommend Aria to anyone I know getting married,
or even looking for a simple and classy special-occasion dress.
I wish you great success in the future and with your new DC
location. Thank you so much again!
Best,
Jennifer DeLange
..New
York

Thank
you for the WONDERFUL service I received ordering dresses from
Aria. I was hesitant ordering online but you made it so easy
- I especially like the try-on service you offer. The girls
looked fantastic and everyone says the same thing, "I loved
those dresses!" I especially loved them because they weren't
the typical "bridesmaid-type" dress.
Attached is a picture!
Thanks again!

Dear
Aria,
I
received my bridesmaid dresses today and was absolutely thrilled
with the results. The dresses are beautiful, and the process
was incredibly smooth. Jessica from the Boston office was tremendously
helpful and flexible in squeezing in last minute appointments
for fittings. And the dresses arrived even earlier than I anticipated,
which was great! Thanks for the great customer service and beautiful
dresses!

Hi!
As a new bride who used Aria, I wanted to send a quick note
to say how happy I was with your dresses and customer service!
I got married on 5/30/04 in Maryland and my 6 girls wore the
periwinkle silk shantung, knee length dress - they ordered different
styles from strapless to vneck and they all looked lovely! My
only wish is that I would have ordered one with theirs!!
I have attached a picture to show you how lovely they looked
and how the colors just were perfect for the day. I highly recommend
your store and hope to see a shop opening near the DC area soon!
All
the best,

I
just wanted to take a moment to thank you for making the fabulous
bridesmaid dresses for my September 2003 wedding in Oregon.
Each of my six bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning in their
fuchsia shantung Aria dresses. Everything about your dresses
is wonderful--from the fabric quality to the workmanship to
the excellent customer service. I have received so many compliments
on the dresses from people viewing my wedding photos as well.
My only wish is that I had ordered a dress for myself; I am
still working on coercing one of my bridesmaids into giving
up their dress!
I will definitely be recommending Aria to any future bride or
to anyone just looking for an amazing dress! Thank you again!
Cheers,

I
was married in Maui in October, 2003. I cannot tell you how
happy I am with the three bridesmaids dresses, mother of the
bride, and flower girl dress you made. The biggest compliment
from my mother and bridesmaids is that they were looking forward
to wearing the dresses after the wedding to other events. The
dresses looked beautiful on the girls and with the backdrop
in Maui. The bridesmaids are different shapes (some more shapely
than others) and height, and they all looked perfect in their
matching dresses. I have girlfriends that are planning their
wedding and I am recommending you because your designs and colors
are so beautiful and you are a pleasure to work with! Thank
you for helping to make my wedding, and
attendants so beautiful!

got married in July,2003 and we loved the bridesmaid dresses
we got so much! You sent out a trial dress and were incredible
helpful over the phone since this was such a long distance order!
Everything was sent out perfectly, dresses and ties! It looked
amazing together, I'm just sad I didn't order one for myself!!
Here are some pictures for your website. I highly reccomend
Aria to everyone!
Each guy is wearing and Aria tie (in burnt orange, sunset yellow,
and periwinkle) and each girls except the bride is wearing a
silk shantung dress in 2 different styles (and contrasting sash).

you so much for helping make my wedding so beautiful!!

you for making all 8 of my bridesmaids, my flowergirl, 2 "groomswomen"
plus mother-in-law look 100% absolutely fabulous. I couldn't
have been happier with the end result, and I know the girls
were also very pleased AND comfortable. Ha Ha... I even
borrowed one of the dresses and wore it on my honeymoon!
Thank
you again for designing the perfect bridesmaid dresses. All

I
just wanted to thank you for making the most outstanding dresses
for my
bridal party. I ordered the dresses -- midnight blue silk taffeta
A-line in floor length, letting each woman choose her own style
-- using your website. So, I never saw more than your website,
your brochure and a color swatch. I was nervous, but confident
that the clean lines and beautiful fabric would translate well
into dresses. Seeing my wedding party in your gowns on Saturday...well,
I could not have been happier.
All
of my expectations were met and exceeded. The color, the fabric,
the
cuts...they were all outstanding. Thank you for making our wedding
even more beautiful. I will certainly recommend Aria to all
of my friends looking for bridesmaids dresses.

I’m
sorry I haven’t written sooner to let you know how positively
thrilled I was with the bridesmaids’ and flower girls’
dresses for my June 21st wedding in Cape Cod. I knew as soon
as you sent me the sample dress that they’d be perfect,
but I couldn’t have imagined how gorgeous the girls would
look. Every dress was expertly made, and looked at least a few
hundred dollars more expensive that the price they paid for
them! They also adored the custom-made purses to coordinate
with their dresses, as you can see from the photo that I’m
sending you in a few minutes. At least a dozen people complimented
me and the girls on their beautiful dresses, and asked where
we found them (so you should be getting some new business soon!)
I'm
not sure if you know that I work as a wedding and event planner
full-time, and I can say without hesitation that I’ll be
sending my brides to Aria first to look for their bridesmaids’
dresses. I’ve thoroughly researched other companies, and
I don’t think anyone can match what you offer in terms
of variety, quality, and most importantly, price! I didn’t
want my girlfriends forking over hundreds of dollars for a dress
that they’d wear once, and was so relieved to find something
that was beautiful, and reasonably priced! Ironically, several
of my bridesmaids have already worn the dress again (to other
weddings or cocktail parties), or plan to in the near future.
Bottom line – I couldn’t have been happier with my
experience with Aria. Of course, it goes without saying that
you can use this e-mail in your testimonials page, and feel
free to call upon me as a reference! I couldn’t say enough
good things about your company.
All
the best,
Jennifer
Cira

After
reading your testimonials page this probably won't come as a
surprise to you, but you "Saved the Day." My dress is perfect-the
fit, the length (which is difficult for someone as short as
me) and most importantly the color! And I got it for less than
many of the other dresses I was seeing at boutiques (even with
the rush charge). Many thanks, again and again...The testimonial
page is what sold me on trusting that an internet company could
"get the job done," and I wasn't disappointed. I'll be sure
to pass along the web address to anyone I can think of!
Sincerely,
Sharon Deaver

This
is a note from yet another very satisfied bride! I'm so happy
I chose to go with Aria. Your customer service is impeccable,
and the dresses were stunning! The lavender looked so beautiful
with the orchids used in the bouquets. Every one of my bridesmaids
was happy, and they all will be able to wear their dress again.
I appreciate your promptness too. The dresses were shipped on
the exact date promised, which eased my stress level tremendously!
We all love your website, too. It was very easy to coordinate
dress selection among my four bridesmaids, which is a major
accomplishment since they live in four different states, three
separate time zones, and all have different tastes, styles and
body shapes. All I had to do was choose a color, then they could
select the dress style they liked the best. Thanks for everything
that you did to make this part of my wedding planning smooth
and easy. Please feel free to use me as a reference if you'd
like. I've attached a couple of photos that you can post on
the album page of your website if you like. Hope all is well,
and enjoy the rest of your summer!

IJust
wanted to write to you and tell you how absolutely elated I
was to have my bridesmaids wear your dresses for my wedding.
We had girls with many different shapes and sizes, but your
dresses ended up being gorgeous on every one of them! Only a
few had to be altered because of
the conversation I had with the designer about sizing-- he was
so helpful. They were happy with them as soon as they took them
out of the box, as was I. I cannot thank you enough for the
wonderful customer service you gave me during the whole process.
I have been recommending
your dresses to many women I know who are getting married--
even those who came into a bridal shop I was working for. So
many brides want simple, reasonably priced dresses in silk that
can be worn again, but still look fabulous in pictures, and
you have the right product!

Aria. Your service was cordial and more importantly punctual.
I called with a problem and a panicked bride, you became her
knight in shining armor -bearing bridesmaid dresses of course
!!! I can't tell you how many times I heard people say how magnificent
the dresses were. I can tell you that they made Jennifer's day

Bridesmaids. I received excellent customer service even before
I made my purchase. Being a nervous bride-to-be, I had a lot

ordering procedure. All of my questions were answered and I
felt very confident placing my order.
When
I received my dress, I immediately put it on. I was more than
happy with the way it looked. The silk satin material is so
beautiful! The dress I chose, although not a typical bridal
dress is unique, fun, and perfect for my beach wedding Thank
you for making my search for the perfect dress effortless.

Since I had just had a baby, shopping for a bridesmaid dress
was not high on my list of priorities. However, my sister the
bride, had other ideas! After scouring rack after rack of dresses
that didn't fit or look anything other than matronly, we began
web shopping. When we discovered Aria, we knew we had hit pay
dirt! With so many hip styles to choose from, I knew I would
find something that fit my postpartum figure. When the dress
arrived, I was so relieved that it not only fit perfectly, but
it actually flattered me! I was estatic! Thanks for helping
me look good!

The dresses were just perfect. I loved the short, strapless
style and so did the bridesmaids. I just got back the wedding
pictures and the dresses looked beautiful! I so appreciate you
being easy to access on the internet. It was very convenient
to be able to e-mail the bridesmaids the styles and colors and
get their opinions.
Once I picked a few colors and the style it was easy to get
a sample of the dress to try on through the mail and choose
from the color swatches that were sent. And I most appreciate
how quickly you made and sent the dresses - only 8 weeks! Thanks
for making this part of the wedding process so very easy and

My
experience with ARIA Dress was absolutely wonderful. This was
the one aspect of my wedding that was virtually effortless.
Of all the plans and details of my Maui wedding I had to attend
to, my search for bridesmaids dresses as well as a dress for
me for one of my receptions, was simple and painless once I
found ARIA.
The
colors and styles are very versatile and cover a wide range
of occasions, personal taste and style, and different body types.
Both of our mothers, my two bridesmaids, as well as myself were
all completely happy with our choices. I would and have already
recommended ARIA to many of my newly engaged friends as well
as other friends looking for timeless, flattering all-occasion
dresses. My bridesmaids, my mother and my mother-in-law all
looked absolutely amazing on my big day and I have ARIA to thank
for this!!

Hello
Aria!
I
just wanted to send a photo of my bridesmaids - at our wedding,
they each wore Aria Dress #160 in Cranberry Stripe, and all of
them looked gorgeous. The knee-length shantung dresses were perfect
for our VERY hot Chicago wedding day in mid-July. One girl is
pregnant - and several others recently had babies - and the petite
and regular sizes all fit them beautifully. Thank you so much
for making part of my wedding planning REALLY easy! The dresses
got raves all day and night, and in addition to being cute, the
girls said that they were extremely comfortable! (One girl even
wore her dress the next night to another wedding!) :)
Thanks again ~ I will be recommending your boutique to many other
brides (and already have!) :)

Thank
you so much for making our wedding day such a vibrant and festive

As for me, ordering from you could not have been easier, and I

made but the girls looked fabulous in them! I am so excited about
the DC
store and am sad I didn't order a dress for myself. I did however
purchase
some extra material and plan on making a table runner. The fabirc
and color
was gorgeous and everyone was very wonderful to work with.
Thanks
for everything,

Hi,
I
was in a wedding this summer where we wore Aria bridesmaid dresses,
and it was beautiful! Each of us ordered a black, strapless dress
with a different color sash around the waist. We received so many
compliments, and the wedding turned out to be gorgeous - on the
beach at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
I
just wanted to say thanks for all of your help in the shopping
process!
We ordered 2 sample dresses to try on, and they arrived quickly,
that really helped in making our decision. Also, I was very impressed
with your customer service.
I've
attached a few pictures from the ceremony. Thanks again!

Dear
ARIA,
I
simply can not say thank you enough! I got married on July 31,
2004 in Kennebunkport, Maine and the Bridesmaids, Junior Bridesmaid
and Flower Girls looked absolutely beautiful in your dresses.
Living in Kansas, planning a wedding in Maine, and having Bridesmaids
all over the country was a bit stressful, but ARIA made the dress
buying process very easy and fun! I chose the color, Celery Green,
and told the girls they could choose whatever style best fit them-
there were 10 girls ranging in age, body shape, personality, skin
tone and hair color. The try on program went flawlessly, and the
girls even sent digital pictures of themselves trying on the dresses!
The dresses arrived one month ahead of the projected date, and
there were no problems. Throughout the day, the girls received
MANY compliments on their fun, flirty, summery dresses that so
eloquently fit the atmosphere. Thank you very much for your wonderful
designs and fabulous customer service. I have attached a picture!
Sincerely,
Marcie Klein-Blackstone

Dear
ARIA,
just
wanted to say a quick thank you!
As hectic and crazy as wedding planning is, our August wedding
in the wine country
went flawlessly! Everything and everyone looked beautiful...
My
girls LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your dresses. We went all over San Francisco
looking for a fun, flirty, cool(summertime!) and comfortable look
that all the girls could agree on.
While we saw many great options, your dresses still stayed in
the running for overall look (just from pics on your website!)
AND price!
As I left it to the ladies to choose, they took advantage of your
easy try-on program and were instantly in love.
The
dresses came on time as promised and your prompt assistance and
great advice for a couple, slight alterations was a great help!
The look was perfect for our outdoor garden wedding in wine country
and the girls comfortably danced the night away!
Your
prompt, friendly and always available customer service made on-line
ordering not even a worry...great job!
6 women, all with different styles, personalities, skin, and body
shapes ALL looked gorgeous in your dresses...what more can you
ask for?
Here's
a pic of my ladies in action wearing STYLE 160KA in CELERY and
my flower girl in STYLE 165T in ivory w/CELERY sash.
thanks
again!

Hi!
I just wanted to thank you all for making our experience with
Aria seamless! We had try-on dresses shipped all over the country
at the last minute with no problems and once we ordered you took
care of the rest. Amazingly, none of dresses had to be altered!
Thank you so much for such great service and quality. Very few
vendors take so much care and pride in their work.
I've attached a few pictures. We wanted lots of vibrant colors
in our wedding so I asked my ladies to select any dress style
or length in silk shantung and any of: maize, fuchsia, dark red,
sunset gold, celery or burnt orange colors. They ended up selecting
knee-length dresses in styles 181, 109, 160, 162 in dark red,
fuchsia, sunset gold, maize and cranberry stripe and I gave them
matching wraps to pull it all together.
They looked stunning!

Hello
to everyone at Aria!
This
thank you note is long-delayed, but you all provided the most
beautiful dresses for my six bridesmaids in April, I just wanted
to thank you so very much. Because I was a bit hesitant about
ordering online, and because I had plans to be out in LA from
NYC for New York anyway, I spent several hours with you all in
late 2003.
You
could not have been kinder or more helpful, and your customer
service was just as wonderful as your dresses. What I especially
love is your comprehensive website, and the ease with which my
friends could choose their dress styles. Having my friends wear
dresses of their choosing made our wedding even more special,
since everyone felt comfortable and beautiful in the design they
chose. Two of my bridesmaids have even already cut their dresses
short and worn them to other events - a luxury I never had with
a bridesmaid dress! Ha!
I
have attached a photo here, unfortunately not a very good one,
but hopefully it will give you an idea of how great all the dresses
worked together. If I get a better one from our pro photographer
I will certainly send it along. They were various styles in silver
silk shantung. One of my friends was also very pregnant (she's
hiding in the
back) and you were kind enough to ship her additional matching
material so she could have a top made locally, since she had no
idea how big she would be by April.
I
would definitely recommend Aria to anyone I know getting married,
or even looking for a simple and classy special-occasion dress.
I wish you great success in the future and with your new DC location.
Thank you so much again!
Best,
Jennifer DeLange
..New
York

Thank
you for the WONDERFUL service I received ordering dresses from
Aria. I was hesitant ordering online but you made it so easy -
I especially like the try-on service you offer. The girls looked
fantastic and everyone says the same thing, "I loved those
dresses!" I especially loved them because they weren't the
typical "bridesmaid-type" dress.
Attached is a picture!
Thanks again!

Dear
Aria,
I
received my bridesmaid dresses today and was absolutely thrilled
with the results. The dresses are beautiful, and the process was
incredibly smooth. Jessica from the Boston office was tremendously
helpful and flexible in squeezing in last minute appointments
for fittings. And the dresses arrived even earlier than I anticipated,
which was great! Thanks for the great customer service and beautiful
dresses!

Hi!
As a new bride who used Aria, I wanted to send a quick note to
say how happy I was with your dresses and customer service! I
got married on 5/30/04 in Maryland and my 6 girls wore the periwinkle
silk shantung, knee length dress - they ordered different styles
from strapless to vneck and they all looked lovely! My only wish
is that I would have ordered one with theirs!!
I have attached a picture to show you how lovely they looked and
how the colors just were perfect for the day. I highly recommend
your store and hope to see a shop opening near the DC area soon!
All
the best,
Heather Austin Reid

I
just wanted to take a moment to thank you for making the fabulous
bridesmaid dresses for my September 2003 wedding in Oregon. Each
of my six bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning in their fuchsia
shantung Aria dresses. Everything about your dresses is wonderful--from
the fabric quality to the workmanship to the excellent customer
service. I have received so many compliments on the dresses from
people viewing my wedding photos as well. My only wish is that
I had ordered a dress for myself; I am still working on coercing
one of my bridesmaids into giving up their dress!
I will definitely be recommending Aria to any future bride or
to anyone just looking for an amazing dress! Thank you again!
Cheers,
Alicia Cox Thompson

Hello
everyone at Aria!
I
just wanted to write and express my appreciation for all of your
help and
support for my August 2003 wedding. I was in Law School in Michigan,
doing
long distance planning for my wedding in Hawaii, while my sister
and
bridesmaid were in Manhattan and Boston, so bridesmaid dress fittings
would
have been difficult. The swatches that you sent were discussed
over the
phone from Honolulu to NYC and the sizing chart made ordering
so simple.
We
were so impressed with your service and the beautiful dresses
and
gorgeous color choices, that my mother ordered her dress from
Aria, and I
ordered my Reception dress from Aria too.
(It's a little too hot in Hawaii in August for a ballgown all
day- besides
its easier to dance and greet in a dress without crinolines.)
My
sister and my bridesmaid have already worn their dresses to other
weddings and parties, and my Mom has worn hers to a ball.
My
sister will be getting married in June of 2005, and has already
started
talking about getting her bridesmaid's dresses and reception dress
from
Aria. And Mom has announced that her new Aria Mother of the Bride
dress
will be purple... We know that the dresses will be exquisite and
we'll have
money left over to feed the guests and hire a great band to dance
all night!
Thank
You,
Reed Gillmor Bowman

I
was married in Maui in October, 2003. I cannot tell you how happy
I am with the three bridesmaids dresses, mother of the bride,
and flower girl dress you made. The biggest compliment from my
mother and bridesmaids is that they were looking forward to wearing
the dresses after the wedding to other events. The dresses looked
beautiful on the girls and with the backdrop in Maui. The bridesmaids
are different shapes (some more shapely than others) and height,
and they all looked perfect in their matching dresses. I have
girlfriends that are planning their wedding and I am recommending
you because your designs and colors are so beautiful and you are
a pleasure to work with! Thank you for helping to make my wedding,
and
attendants so beautiful!

I
got married in July,2003 and we loved the bridesmaid dresses we
got so much! You sent out a trial dress and were incredible helpful
over the phone since this was such a long distance order! Everything
was sent out perfectly, dresses and ties! It looked amazing together,
I'm just sad I didn't order one for myself!!
Here are some pictures for your website. I highly reccomend Aria
to everyone!
Each guy is wearing and Aria tie (in burnt orange, sunset yellow,
and periwinkle) and each girls except the bride is wearing a silk
shantung dress in 2 different styles (and contrasting sash).
Thank
you so much for helping make my wedding so beautiful!!

Thank
you for making all 8 of my bridesmaids, my flowergirl, 2 "groomswomen"
plus mother-in-law look 100% absolutely fabulous. I couldn't have
been happier with the end result, and I know the girls were also
very pleased AND comfortable. Ha Ha... I even borrowed
one of the dresses and wore it on my honeymoon!
Thank
you again for designing the perfect bridesmaid dresses. All of
my girls are so beautiful, I am sure they will be perfect for
your portfolio.And since I will have 5 weddings to attend next
year you can be certain I am going to be sending all the future
brides your way!

I
just wanted to thank you for making the most outstanding dresses
for my
bridal party. I ordered the dresses -- midnight blue silk taffeta
A-line in floor length, letting each woman choose her own style
-- using your website. So, I never saw more than your website,
your brochure and a color swatch. I was nervous, but confident
that the clean lines and beautiful fabric would translate well
into dresses. Seeing my wedding party in your gowns on Saturday...well,
I could not have been happier.
All
of my expectations were met and exceeded. The color, the fabric,
the
cuts...they were all outstanding. Thank you for making our wedding
even more beautiful. I will certainly recommend Aria to all of
my friends looking for bridesmaids dresses.

I’m
sorry I haven’t written sooner to let you know how positively
thrilled I was with the bridesmaids’ and flower girls’
dresses for my June 21st wedding in Cape Cod. I knew as soon as
you sent me the sample dress that they’d be perfect, but
I couldn’t have imagined how gorgeous the girls would look.
Every dress was expertly made, and looked at least a few hundred
dollars more expensive that the price they paid for them! They
also adored the custom-made purses to coordinate with their dresses,
as you can see from the photo that I’m sending you in a few
minutes. At least a dozen people complimented me and the girls
on their beautiful dresses, and asked where we found them (so
you should be getting some new business soon!)
I'm
not sure if you know that I work as a wedding and event planner
full-time, and I can say without hesitation that I’ll be
sending my brides to Aria first to look for their bridesmaids’
dresses. I’ve thoroughly researched other companies, and
I don’t think anyone can match what you offer in terms of
variety, quality, and most importantly, price! I didn’t want
my girlfriends forking over hundreds of dollars for a dress that
they’d wear once, and was so relieved to find something that
was beautiful, and reasonably priced! Ironically, several of my
bridesmaids have already worn the dress again (to other weddings
or cocktail parties), or plan to in the near future. Bottom line
– I couldn’t have been happier with my experience with
Aria. Of course, it goes without saying that you can use this
e-mail in your testimonials page, and feel free to call upon me
as a reference! I couldn’t say enough good things about your
company.
All
the best,
Jennifer
Cira

After
reading your testimonials page this probably won't come as a surprise
to you, but you "Saved the Day." My dress is perfect-the fit,
the length (which is difficult for someone as short as me) and
most importantly the color! And I got it for less than many of
the other dresses I was seeing at boutiques (even with the rush
charge). Many thanks, again and again...The testimonial page is
what sold me on trusting that an internet company could "get the
job done," and I wasn't disappointed. I'll be sure to pass along
the web address to anyone I can think of!
Sincerely,
Sharon Deaver

This
is a note from yet another very satisfied bride! I'm so happy
I chose to go with Aria. Your customer service is impeccable,
and the dresses were stunning! The lavender looked so beautiful
with the orchids used in the bouquets. Every one of my bridesmaids
was happy, and they all will be able to wear their dress again.
I appreciate your promptness too. The dresses were shipped on
the exact date promised, which eased my stress level tremendously!
We all love your website, too. It was very easy to coordinate
dress selection among my four bridesmaids, which is a major accomplishment
since they live in four different states, three separate time
zones, and all have different tastes, styles and body shapes.
All I had to do was choose a color, then they could select the
dress style they liked the best. Thanks for everything that you
did to make this part of my wedding planning smooth and easy.
Please feel free to use me as a reference if you'd like. I've
attached a couple of photos that you can post on the album page
of your website if you like. Hope all is well, and enjoy the rest
of your summer!

IJust
wanted to write to you and tell you how absolutely elated I was
to have my bridesmaids wear your dresses for my wedding. We had
girls with many different shapes and sizes, but your dresses ended
up being gorgeous on every one of them! Only a few had to be altered
because of
the conversation I had with the designer about sizing-- he was
so helpful. They were happy with them as soon as they took them
out of the box, as was I. I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful
customer service you gave me during the whole process. I have
been recommending
your dresses to many women I know who are getting married-- even
those who came into a bridal shop I was working for. So many brides
want simple, reasonably priced dresses in silk that can be worn
again, but still look fabulous in pictures, and you have the right
product!

I
can't say enough great things about you and your company. My father
started his own business when I was 18 months and I grew up watching
him turn it into a very lucrative venture. I also saw all the
dedication and personal service he provided to his clients. I
thought this was a dying art until I came across Aria. Your service
was cordial and more importantly punctual.
I called with a problem and a panicked bride, you became her knight
in shining armor -bearing bridesmaid dresses of course !!! I can't
tell you how many times I heard people say how magnificent the
dresses were. I can tell you that they made Jennifer's day memorable
and extremely beautiful. Thank you for all your hard work and
for being so accommodating. It was a pleasure working with you!

Your
service was prompt and personalized. The attention to personalized
service was as thorough (if not MORE thorough) than as if I had

dress quality and cut of the dress was high quality and met all
my expectations. I would highly recommend Aria dresses! Excellent
quality and current style at an affordable price!

We
are so happy with the dresses. You were great with the sizing.
We think talking directly to you made the sizing work out the
best with the fewest alterations. Each of the brides maids love
their individual dress. The material is lovely. Thank you for
your help. We were worried about ordering on the internet, but
found it great to do business with you.

I
am writing to tell you about the wonderful experience I had with
Aria
Bridesmaids. I received excellent customer service even before
I made my purchase. Being a nervous bride-to-be, I had a lot of
questions about fabric choice, dress length and style, and ordering
procedure. All of my questions were answered and I felt very confident
placing my order.
When
I received my dress, I immediately put it on. I was more than
happy with the way it looked. The silk satin material is so beautiful!
The dress I chose, although not a typical bridal dress is unique,
fun, and perfect for my beach wedding Thank you for making my
search for the perfect dress effortless.

My order with Aria was dealt with quickly, efficiently and in

Since I had just had a baby, shopping for a bridesmaid dress was
not high on my list of priorities. However, my sister the bride,
had other ideas! After scouring rack after rack of dresses that
didn't fit or look anything other than matronly, we began web
shopping. When we discovered Aria, we knew we had hit pay dirt!
With so many hip styles to choose from, I knew I would find something
that fit my postpartum figure. When the dress arrived, I was so
relieved that it not only fit perfectly, but it actually flattered
me! I was estatic! Thanks for helping me look good!

The dresses were just perfect. I loved the short, strapless style
and so did the bridesmaids. I just got back the wedding pictures
and the dresses looked beautiful! I so appreciate you being easy
to access on the internet. It was very convenient to be able to
e-mail the bridesmaids the styles and colors and get their opinions.
Once I picked a few colors and the style it was easy to get a
sample of the dress to try on through the mail and choose from
the color swatches that were sent. And I most appreciate how quickly
you made and sent the dresses - only 8 weeks! Thanks for making
this part of the wedding process so very easy and fun!

My
experience with ARIA Dress was absolutely wonderful. This was
the one aspect of my wedding that was virtually effortless. Of
all the plans and details of my Maui wedding I had to attend to,
my search for bridesmaids dresses as well as a dress for me for
one of my receptions, was simple and painless once I found ARIA.
The
colors and styles are very versatile and cover a wide range of
occasions, personal taste and style, and different body types.
Both of our mothers, my two bridesmaids, as well as myself were
all completely happy with our choices. I would and have already
recommended ARIA to many of my newly engaged friends as well as
other friends looking for timeless, flattering all-occasion dresses.
My bridesmaids, my mother and my mother-in-law all looked absolutely
amazing on my big day and I have ARIA to thank for this!!
