Editorial Review for Maria Romia Bridal Couture – by Lauren McCutcheon
In Short
One minute in this boutique and even the most jaded bride-to-be brightens with expectations of wedding-day bliss. Owner Maria Romia warmly greets shoppers into her calming pastel oasis. Light waves of opera waft from a back room workshop. A single line of fair frocks is suspended just a few yards from the shop's bay windows. Romia graduated from Parsons and spent two years apprenticing in Paris, plus requisite time in Manhattan's Garment District. But she soon returned to Philadelphia with the dream of opening her own bridal salon, a place with gowns that are both affordable and gorgeous.

I bought my gown there after trying on about 35 boring, heavy satin gowns at other bridal salons. Maria chooses incredibly unique gowns for people that appreciate couture style; and you don't have to pay couture prices. She is so warm and smart and kind and the staff that does the alterations fuss at you and speak in Greek with pins in their mouth, giving the whole thing a very old world feel. Going there is always a pleasure; I'd recommend it to anyone.

Due to disastrous alterations at another bridal shop, my original wedding gown was completely ruined. I went to Maria Romia six weeks before my wedding, found the perfect dress, and had an extremely enjoyable experience throughout the entire alteration process. Even though I bought a discontinued dress at a very discounted price, Maria and her entire staff treated me like a princess every time I was there. In addition, the alterations were perfect!
Pros: Talented, friendly, accomodating
