I purchased my wedding gown in from Divine Designs in 2008. I had a fabulous experience in this beautiful shop. They had an extensive collection of high end gowns for me to select from and Monica's experience, style, and expertise helped me to choose the best possible option to suit my own personal style and my body shape. I ended up purchasing a $4000 Monique L'Huillier gown which I STILL love!
I was so delighted with this first experience that I purchased a second gown from Monica for the rehearsal dinner, a sequined Vera Wang cocktail dress for $3500. Since then I have returned to Divine Designs to purchase several other non-bridal gowns for various black tie events that I have had to attend, and every time Monica and her staff have given me the best possible service I could ever hope to expect. I fully expect that I will likely purchase more gowns from Divine Designs in the future. (It is important to keep in mind that this shop carries only high end designer gowns, I believe that the starting price is approximately $2000. If you are hoping to spend less than $2000 there will not likely be anything for the staff in this shop to show you.)
Every time I enter the shop I am greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. This shop is truly a beautiful sanctuary, very clean and stylish. This is a very nice change from many of the other bridal boutiques that I had visited in Portland, which quite frankly seemed rather dirty and dingy in comparison. In addition to their extensive selection of high end designer gowns, their fabulous style, and their warm and welcoming environment, the staff at Divine Designs, and specifically Nahid, offers the best possible alterations for your gown that you could ever hope to ask for! Nahid works WONDERS! She is truly a magician!
I would recommend Monica and her shop Divine Designs to anyone in the market for a wedding gown or other formal attire. You will not regret this decision on your special day!
