Aria Bridesmaids

OK, so from the perspective of a bridesmaid who endured the Aria experience — the dresses *are* lovely. Can my clover green tea-​length silk dress ever be worn in again? No. At the end of the day it’s still a bridesmaid dress, but it worked beautifully for its purpose. The dresses are designed in a way that they can be ordered in different styles and colors and still be harmonious.
Every other aspect of dealing with Aria was just. plain. annoying.
These dresses need to be ordered 4 months in advance… and then almost definitely will need alterations after that. I called to make the trip from Providence to Back Bay to try them on for size so as not to screw *that* up — TWO MONTH wait for an appt. to try on a couple freaking dresses! (This is the sh* that makes bridezillas of normal women — that someone would need to determine exactly what her bridesmaids would wear at least 7 months in advance …is insane. Which is why I didn’t play that game for my own wedding, but anywho…)
Weellll since the time-​math would’ve put me past the wedding date, I made a few pleading phone calls asking for quick visit to try on «LITERALLY. Two dresses» until someone showed mercy. When I finally hauled it to Boston the saleschicks forked over the dresses and set me up with a room but were unfriendly about it. I was not a real appointment and therefore undeserving of customer service, I suppose.
You order the dresses via confusing snail mail form. There is a % discount for ordering 5+ dresses so I took on the role of ordering for the whole posse. It was like processing a mortgage. And confusing snail mail form had no format to include promised discount so I had to scribble all over these forms and hope it worked.
It did.
But what a pain in the butt!

I really recommend going to Aria for your bridemaids dresses. They have a large selection, lots of colors, styles and sizes. Definitely something for everyone. I just reccommend you plan ahead! it makes 4 months from the day you fill out the forms and send it in to receive the dresses.

Had a great experience here not too long ago. Plenty of dresses to choose from in any size, color and fabric. And the prices were very reasonable too (especially compared to some other places we’ve gone to on Newbury). The woman that helped us was extremely friendly and helpful, she made the experience soooo much easier for us. We immediately felt welcomed. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a high quality and great looking dress at an affordable price.

Amazing selection of bridesmaid dresses in a variety of cuts, fabric, and colors! They are also very reasonably priced. The staff aren’t the most warm individuals (hence the four stars), but they are helpful with selecting the right dress cuts for each of your maids and getting the order done and to you with ample time for alterations. They even have a great selection of MOB dresses too!
