I had VERY LITTLE information about wedding gowns when I started shopping for my dress. I made an appointment with all of the usual suspects on Newbury Street and when I walked into Ana Hernandez's studio, I expected to find yet another inexperienced sales person who would tell me I looked good in everything. Wasn't I in for a pleasant surprise?
When I realized that Ana was actually the designer, I knew I was in the right place. Her studio was intimate, with one of a kind gowns; not a factory with multiple women trying on the same dresses . Ana works with one client at a time for browsing, purchasing, altering, and fitting. She builds relationships with her clients and is honest. She will find a design that works with your body, and in my case, alter an existing design to fit your vision. She makes recommendations for hair, jewelry, shoe, and veil styles to fit your look as well.
Ana Hernandez's talent is exquisite. Her look is classic yet contemporary, flirty yet structured. My experience with her was that of purchasing a couture gown. Her designs are astonishing, yet Ana is very down to earth, kind, generous, and focused. Her name is on the label of your dress and she takes great pride in her art. She will make sure that you walk out of her studio with a one of kind gown that fits perfectly.
Planning a wedding can be very stressful. Working with Ana was a high point of my preparation process. I had complete trust in her and did not worry for one second about my dress being perfect. Due to an illness in my family, I moved the date of my wedding up by 8 months. Ana was there every step of the way making sure my dress was ready (and perfect) in three weeks time.
There is no better way to go than Ana Hernandez; exquisite and affordable gowns from a brilliant designer.
