Written on: 22/06/2010
Ana made my bridesmaid and flower girl dresses for my wedding. She was a delight to work with from the beginning - very personable and charming. She really worked hard to help us choose the right colour and fabrics and the design that she drafted was exactly what I had in mind. She and her team conducted several fittings to make sure that each dress fitted perfectly, which meant that all the bridesmaids looked stunning. She was also open to suggestions and accommodated some last-minute... (read more)

Written on: 06/06/2010 by alexandralois (1 review written)
I had a wonderful experience with Ana and her team. They were all incredibly personable and Ana worked with me until we had exactly what I hoped for. She made the dress from scratch, loosely based on an existing design in-store.
Ana was always responsive to emails and questions I had along the way and helped me pick material for the girls dresses and the ties that would work with what I had. She is SERIOUSLY creative and came up with really different ideas -- My dress was exactly what I...

From the moment I stepped into Ana Cristache I knew I was going to find my perfect dress there - and I wasn't disappointed. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, professional and helpful and took genuine interest in any of my concerns. I never felt rushed during my appointments and was able to adapt my dress to my own personal style. The dress fitted like a glove as they take such detailed measurements compared to many other bridal shops, where they only take a couple. I really cannot... (read more)

Ana Cristache provides an excellent service. From the moment you walk in you feel at ease, not like many of the other wedding dress shops I ventured into. My main concern is that I would have a dress that would be the same or similar to someone else's but my was unique to me which made it that bit more special. My dress fitted me perfectly and the compliments about it have not stopped and I got married 9 months ago! I found Ana's honesty about what suited me and didn't to be like a... (read more)

Written on: 16/05/2010
After trawling around a fair few wedding dress stores, Ana's was a breath of fresh air. The private appointment and relaxed atmosphere took away so much of the stress and Ana was so kind, helpful and friendly - a marked contrast to many other people out there! There wasn't a dress in there I would not have worn but Ana has such a great eye and within moments produced the one best suited to me, even though I was close to going for a more expensive version. She and her staff then worked really... (read more)

Written on: 14/05/2010
Ana's gown for me was more than a bit special.. and different! She spent time discovering what suits my shape and preferences, then designed and created an evening gown that was exactly right. She sourced a special strong black silk that was then overlaid with hand beaded French lace especially for a concert I was giving in Monte Carlo. The result was stunning and she worked with great speed and efficiency too. The dress is gorgeous and easy to wear. I can't recommend the work she and her... (read more)

Ana was wonderful to work with. She understood what I wanted and the dress was beautiful. After trying on her dresses I knew I would be getting mine from her. I was able to change any detail I wanted in the dress, which I could not do at some of the more 'expensive/prestigious' shops/designers. I would recommend her to anyone. (read more)

Ana and her team bent over backwards to make my dress perfect for me - managing to fit me for an emergency panic appointment the week before our wedding, always being honest and helpful, patient and calm. They were never ever pushy and really care that you have the best for you. It was a pleasure to go for my fittings and I can't thank them enough. (read more)

I have just collected my wedding dress from the Ana Cristache wedding dress shop and I absolutely love it! It has exceeded all expectations! I would recommend Ana Cristache to all of my friends - she has such an amazing and talented team. Everyone in the team was so helpful, talented, friendly, professional and simply lovely! I had a challenging bespoke dress made for me and they did it 100% perfectly - I could not have asked for a more perfect dress! They made the whole process so easy and... (read more)

Written on: 25/02/2009
I cannot recommend the fabulous team highly enough. From the very first meeting I adored Ana Cristache's approach - they make you feel as if they have all the time in the world, and encourages you to articulate your views on colour, fabric and shape so they can begin to recommend just the right wedding dress. The brief was loose, to say the least - I knew only what I didn't want! Their patience, enthusiasm and creativity guided me through the options, and the final creation was truly... (read more)

I tried dresses at every well known top-end designer but nothing was quite perfect.
Then I found, Ana Cristache wedding Dresses, a lovely boutique store, and was able to work with the team to produce a completely original and bespoke dress which I thought was perfect.
Very responsive and thoughtful about what I was looking for.
I was staggered by the effort and time that went into developing the design and then making the dress, especially given the very reasonable price I paid. ...

The Ana Cristache team are wonderful. They were all so patient and calm with me. I initially had to change my ideas of what I wanted and what would actually suit me for my wedding dress as I had had major surgery and therefore the dress had to fit around this.
When I had this explained to me it was a shock initially that "my dream dress" was not going to be suitable but the one they helped me choose was absolutely perfect. I looked stunning on my wedding day and can't thank the Ana...

Similar to the other brides, I also got exactly what I wanted from Ana. My dress fitted perfectly and made me feel and look gorgeous on the day. Even the choir who get to sing at many weddings and see a lot of brides said how perfect my dress was for me!
Most importantly however, I loved the customer service at Ana's boutique. During the busy times in the run up to the big day, the last thing that you want is stressing about your dress. Despite me choosing my dress late, they were absolutely...

Ana Cristache Wedding Dresses - Getting the perfect dress made for me was one of things I was most worried about during our wedding preparations, especially living overseas in Dubai. Thank goodness I came across one of Ana's designs in a magazine. Her boutique was the first place I went to and, despite trying several others, I knew I wanted Ana to design and make my dress. She listened very carefully to the ideas we had and I had full confidence that those ideas would be implemented. The... (read more)

I went to Ana Cristache Wedding Dresses when I started looking for wedding dresses last year. I had something quite specific in mind and I fell in love with one of the Ana Cristache dresses I tried on. The thing which really made me appreciate them over other designers is how much effort goes into tailor making the dress - from the sequin color, to the lace style. You get to chose everything, with a lot of help from all the friendly staff who work there. I went back for several fittings, and... (read more)

I loved the shop! It's such a luxurious boutique, it was an absolute pleasure to leave the dirty, polluted London air behind and step into such a stylish, chandelier-lit place. And the staff were amazing - attentive and kind and genuinely thrilled to be working in the wedding industry. I would have thought it might get a bit dull working with so many brides, but I can't begin to tell you how fabulous they made me feel, asking me loads of questions about my plans and caring about how the...

Friendly, welcoming, extremely helpful, flexible, patient and a genius in what she does - that sums up Ana Cristache!

Ana was so warm and welcoming, she really listened to what I wanted and designed a gown for me that was a combination of 3 pictures, the end result was a truely amazing gown that made me feel like a million dollars!

I loved my wedding dress shopping experience! It was everything you've ever dreamed of!!! I visited there first, then I looked at numerous other shops and designers, but nobody came close to the warmth and capabilities of Ana Christache and her team. Once I had decided to go with Ana, we sat down and designed my dress together; Ana was really up for the challenge and was extremely knowledgeable about materials, colours, textures, shapes and accessories etc. Once we had agreed a design, I...

I wasn't the typical bride - I had no real idea what I wanted to wear, and I'd left dress buying to the last minute.
Thankfully, Ana Cristache made everything very easy for me. She combined two designs into a design which suited me perfectly, and managed to schedule enough fittings within a short period to ensure it was an exact fit (this, despite me getting one of my fitting times wrong - she slotted me in anyway). The quality of the product was all I could have hoped for, but what made...

Ana Cristache immediately understood what I was looking for, and I ended up choosing the first dress that was suggested. She altered the design slightly for me, and made a beautiful matching bolero to complete the outfit, and I truly felt like a princess on the day. Throughout, Ana was friendly and efficient, and made the whole process easy from start to finish. Who says planning a wedding should be stressful? (read more)

I had a great time trying on various dresses, some of which made me feel very glamorous! Ana's expert eye and friendly guidance meant that... (read more)

I chose Ana Cristache when I had four months to plan my wedding and buy a dress. I had quite a good idea of what I wanted but couldn't find anything 'off the peg' so decided to have it made. I made several calls to some incredibly snooty dress designers who practically scoffed when I asked for some ideas and inspiration. A friend, to whom I shall be eternally grateful, recommended Ana. What a breath of fresh air Ana is. She listened intently to my ideas, was up front about the... (read more)

No one realises how difficult it is to find the perfect wedding dress. I had absolutely no idea what I wanted and visited several shops before deciding to have my dress designed by Ana Cristache. Lots of shops charge £15 for Saturday appointments, really push with their selling and it can be an extremely exhausting trip finding the perfect dress.
Ana's shop has a completely relaxed atmosphere. You get individual attention and Ana listens very carefully to your requirements. I initially...

I couldn't have been happier with my dress - it really was the dress of my dreams - and everyone commented on how beautiful it was. It was very special knowing that my dress was unique, and no-one else had one quite like it. The lace bolero and veil Ana made were also exquisite, and went perfectly with the dress.
I have already recommended Ana to friends and family, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding dress.

I went to Ana Christache with some lace which my mother got married in 35 years previously, as I wanted to use this somehow in my wedding gown. Ana was instantly excited and inspired by this idea, and she listened to my thoughts about how I wanted to use the lace. Ana was very encouraging and flexible, and she didn't try to push her own fabrics on me, but took the old lace, had it cleaned and even researched what type of lace it was! It was so exciting seeing my dress take shape, and it... (read more)

I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ana Christache. She was very helpful and will make a dress to your deadline - not hers. She will also make any adjustments that you wish. I ended up paying around the same price for a bespoke dress as I would have paid for an off the peg dress at Berketex, and I really believe that mine was an awful lot nicer than any of those.

As I was having a winter wedding in the Peak District with the possibility of snow, I wanted to ensure I would not be cold. Lots of other wedding dress shops just said it would be OK with a shrug or bit of lace over my shoulders, but Ana Cristache listened to what I wanted, and designed a full length coat in the same material as my dress. I was given 3 different designs, and in the end I got a beautiful strapless dress with an elegant coat, which was decorated in the same crystals. Everyone... (read more)
