Parvani Vida Bridal & Formal

Maria helped me select just the right dress and was a true professional through & through. She was always available over the phone if I had any questions too.

Robin and The Parvani team are amazing and were so helpful. My dress was stunning and altered perfectly and I highly recommend them to any bride! Thank you Parvani team.

I bought my dress and veil here, the staff is very nice and the place is super clean! You do have to set an appointment everytime you go in. If you are a budget bride this might not be the place for you, but I will tell you you get what you paid for! I love my dress I bought a 1999 casablanca and the veil I forgot who makes it.

I love Parvani Vida and the ladies who work there. Ask for Maria, she's the best! The shop is an adorable boutique nestled in the middle of Hwy 6. I loved all their gowns and the fact that I was not rushed to look thru them and try on. They let me look & pick out my own styles, but they offered help/answers if needed. I found the best designer dress out of the other 8 shops I looked thru. They took care of steam cleaning (twice) and stored my dress until needed. Great service and beautiful selection.

I bought my wedding dress with Parvani Vida and was very satisfied with the price as well as the value. But if you are planning to order tuxedos from Jim's Formal Wear through Parvani Vida, DON'T DO IT!! None of my groomsmen were satisfied with the quality of their tuxes. There was no point in even measuring all the guys because the suits they brought for them were all made for men six foot or taller, and all they did what tuck in the pants and sleeves. The jackets and waist size of the pants were ridiculously large. My groomsmen managed to "fix up" their tuxes a little, but my husband and I had to go shopping for a suit for him THE DAY BEFORE our wedding, and still get alterations done on it. Please, do not give Jim's Formal Wear your business. Thank you.

I found my dress at Parvani Vida. My wedding was 6 months before so I had to rush my dress, but the staff was very knowledgeable and willing to make it work. Also, they measured me and told me what size heels I would need to avoid hemming the dress. When the dress arrived, I had to book my fitting on a Saturday since I was coming from out-of-town- They don't usually do that but since I was only there that weekend they made an exception. When I tried on my dress for the first-time it fit perfectly, the only alterations I needed was to add bra cups ($25.00). They also made the bustle free of charge and steamed the dress just before pick-up. I do suggest you make an appointment when trying on dresses that way you have someone's undivided attention.

I got my dress at parvani and it was the best experience I had it was smooth and Jeanie really took the time to work with me to find my wedding gown, specially after my previous vendor (Ventura's Bridal) messed up my order and one month before the wedding was left with no gown!! Truly a brides nightmare!!!! I was lucky to find my dress at Parvani and they took care of me and had my dress ready before my wedding day! I must say that I got it on sale and that it was more beautiful that the first one!!! I got great complements on it.Parvani has great selection of gowns for every budget and I can truly say that they saved my wedding day!Thanks Jeanie and staff for your hard work!

DO NOT got to this place for your alterations! The lady that I dealt with, who was apparently the 'head' seamstress, was horrible to deal with. I bought my dress from another shop and had decided to go here to get the alterations done because I knew someone who got the hem of their wedding dress done here and had no problems. When I met with the seamstress she asked me what I thought needed to be done. I told her it needed to be taken in, I wanted to make a deeper sweetheart neckline, a bustle and hemmed. She quickly pinned me in and said I was good to go. I came back a week later for my dress and this is when the issues started! Nothing was done correctly.1) My neckline now buckled and did not lay flat...I was told that once it was steamed it would be fine. 2) The top of the skirt where she had to do take my dress UP from to avoid touching the lace at the bottom of my dress, now bulged because it wasn't sewn properly. 3) Although she had taken it in at my waist, she never took it in at my sides or the bust line and it was now gaping. She told me that it will be fine and I should just leave it the way it is. I didn't understand this because you could see my entire bra, it was that big. We asked if taking it in would affect that back at all and she insisted it wouldn't. She finally agreed to take it in and said that she would RE-DO the lace. Just a little added bonus - she said that because I didn't tell her I needed it taken in SPECIFICALLY on the sides or bust line, I needed to pay EXTRA for that. Mind you, I had already paid a fortune for the alterations that she had already "done". 4) The bustle wasn't even completed and couldn't hold my dress. I came back a week later to pick up my dress and I could not even breathe when it was zipped up! I was HORRIFIED. It was so tight by boobs were spilling over the top and my back was bulging and pouring out over the back of the dress - not a pretty sight for a bride! When we called the seamstress in, she immediately came in and accused me of being wrong and telling me that she told me the last time I was in that if she took it in at the sides that it would be too tight - especially in the back. My mom and mother-in-law were with me each time I went to Parvani Vida and none of us heard her say this! In fact, like I pointed out earlier, she INSISTED it would not affect the back! She then YELLED at my mother-in-law, telling her that she didn't know what she was talking about because she isn't a seamstress but then, in the next breath, was telling us that we should have KNOWN that it was going to be too tight if she took it in. This lady was stubborn, unprofessional, and would not do a thing to help salvage my dress. She began to YELL at me when I told her I was taking my dress. She accused me of going around bad mouthing all my vendors - which I have NEVER done, and saying that ALL brides do exactly this when they don't get their way. She simply wouldn't take any responsibility for her actions. She said that it was MY fault the dress was too tight and I should have known this would happen ---- even though I'm NOT a seamstress, which she CLEARLY pointed out. After I left this store distraught, I took my dress to Katy Custom Bridal. They were a GODSEND. They took one look at my dress and knew where I had taken it and who the seamstress had been as they have encountered MANY unhappy brides from this store. The seamstress at Katy Custom Bridal had to basically reconstruct my dress to fix all of the problems Parvani Vida created. Here is a list of the problems Parvani Vida created: 1) They took the bones out of my dress and never put it back in. 2) After creating the modified neckline, they didn't finish stiching the neckline which is why it buckled. Steaming it did nothing, it was not finished. 3) The seams on the side of my dress where they took it in, were CROOKED. 4) There was BLOOD on my dress. 5) The seamstress stiched my lace INSIDE my dress through TWO layers of fabric instead of taking the lace off and re-doing it like she claimed. 6) The bustle wasn't even constructed correctly, it wasn't able to hold up my dress - and this was after they finished the bustle. 7) The lace wasn't tacked down on my waist like she said she was going to do. 8) There were a couple of stains on my dress that had appeared only after taking it to Parvani Vida. In fact, the only thing that had been done correctly was the hemmline - after the first visit when the bulging was fixed. I saw these problems that Parvani Vida created first hand because the Seamstress at Katy Custom Bridal basically re-did my whole dress while I was sitting there.Katy Custom Bridal completely resotred my dress and came out cheaper than taking it to Parvani Vida. Because of the costs from Parvani Vida and then the extra cost to get my dress fixed by someone else, I ended up paying DOUBLE what my dress originally cost. I have no idea what it's like to buy a dress from there, but as far as getting your alterations done there - STAY AWAY!

My review is two fold, First, the dress Purchasing Experience and second, the alteration process. 1. I made an appointment at Parvani Vida because I knew they carried the kind of quality dress I was looking for. When I got there I was afford as much time as needed and plenty of individual attention. The ladies were very helpful in finding dresses that they thought I would like. Ultimately I fell in love with a beautiful gown and purchased it. When I first bought my dress in Oct. 08, my wedding was scheduled for Nov. 09. They said it would take 6 months to get the dress which was no big deal; I knew it was going to need alterations due to my body shape and weight loss. We decided to move our wedding to July 09 which left a lot less time for my dress to arrive and be altered. I called to let them know that my date had changed and that I needed to be advised as soon as it arrived so I could begin the alterations process in time for my bridals. My dress arrived early; however I wasn�t contacted until 3 weeks after it arrived. The only reason I know this is because the lady who called told me what day it came in. The try on and purchase process were a dream, I love the store and the service I received. 2. The alterations process was an entirely different story. I arrived to get my dress altered and they couldn�t find the dress, they told me I was incorrect and that my dress had not arrived. When I asked them to check again, to their surprise it was there. We went back for 3 fittings, giving specific instructions each time as to what we wanted to see done. When I went back the final time to pick up my dress for my bridal portraits they had not completed the alterations the way they were supposed to. I had to take the dress anyway because my bridals were 3 days later and I couldn�t afford to go back again. After my bridal portraits I decided to go to a different seamstress and get it altered closer to home. When I went to the new lady she explained and showed me how they had messed up the alterations and moved my natural waist two inches higher than it should have been. They also never finished the hem. I highly recommend girls to go, look and even buy a wedding dress at Parvani Vida, they have gorgeous dresses and great service however when it comes to alterations go to someone who can give you undivided attention and knows what they are doing. If you live in Spring, Tx area try Sew it Seams Alterations, she is a little pricey but she saved my dress that Parvani Vida almost destroyed.

I found my dress on the first day I was there. The sales ladies werespectacular. I went in for several fittings and everytime they reassured that everything would be fine and I had nothing to worry about and they were right. My dress fit perfectly. The prices there are very reasonable and the bussle is included in the price of the dress.

If you want a unique dress and undivided individual attention this is the place for you. The store was so beautiful, when you try on your gowns you step onto your own stage and are lit by only a big beautiful chandalier. The staff was so helpful when I came in not knowing at all what I really wanted, they showed my tons of dresses and brought about 15 dresses into the room for me to try on. I was not rushed and when it came time for alterations three days before my wedding they did a brillant job and was done by friday morning ready and steamed for my wedding on Saturday. As for the prices they do have some that are a bit pricey but they have alot that are more than reasonable, I kept getting comments on my dress saying that I must have spent thousands but really i only spent hundreds.

I only came here because I had won a gift from one of the bridal extravaganza that houston held. I didn't think that I would find the dress I wanted for the price I wanted ($1200 or below) because the quality of the dresses they carried were high quality, and boy was I wrong. I immediately felt special when I walked in, and wanted to try all the dresses on. they wanted to know what I was looking for, what I liked what I didn't, and most importantly what my budget was. They really respected that, which I found was very professional of them. They did bring a little of every style that way I could definitely rule out what I didn't like and keep what I liked which I loved because I ended up falling in love with one that I wouldn't have thought. It was absolutely perfect. They definitely have a wide variety of prices.. yes there are those that were thousands.. :o)

Beautiful dresses but it was very difficult to work with the person who made alterations as she was not very proficient in English...a little scary when she's altering your 2000 dollar dress!

By far my favorite vendor. I worked with Maria...I went there about 5 times to try on my dress before finally purchasing it and she never once got pushy or annoyed. I brought a different group of people everytime and we were always welcomed and accommidated. It was a wonderful experience buying my dress. It came in right on time and they did the alterations in a week. I didn't even asked it be rushed, they are just that fast. The alterations came out wonderful. It fit like a glove. They have the best selection that I have seen in Houston and surrounding areas and I have see more than a few! :) I have referred many friends there and they all have loved it and purchased their dresses there! The store has a very classy feel and the samples are clean and the store is always immaculate. They are doing a great job!!!

Excellent service. Maria was my consultant and was with me every step of the way. I changed my mind last minute on the dress I ordered and she helped rather than complain. I received my dress in time and my bridesmaids received their dresses in time as well. One bm dress was the wrong style number and this vendor re-ordered her correct dress and had it expressed shipped and she received in time for her alterations.

Parvani Vida was great to work with. I mostly spoke to/dealt with Anita, and she helped me find my dress on the first visit. She showed great customer service and had a LOAD of patience. I lost count on the number of times that I went in there with different people (mom, bridesmaids, aunts), but they were willing to help me every time with a smile. The owner of the boutique was extremely knowledgeable and kind, and was the person who solidified the final changes to my dress that I had requested. I felt comfortable with the way they handled things; it was an overall wonderful experience.

i found my dream dress for my maid of honor!!

They have beautiful dresses there... After going to several places, I found my dress there, and it was not hard to fall in love with it... Really nice place to pick your dress and very friendly people...

This was the most stressful out of everything. My dress came in on time. I had paid them extra to have it made to my measurements at the designer, but when it came in it really didn't fit, so I had to pay extra for more alterations. I picked it up for my bridals and tried in on with my undies at the other shop, which made me realize they hadn't done any of the alterations I paid for in the four months it had been sitting in their store. I had to drive all the way back to get fitted again and I picked it up at the end of the week, even then for my bridals they hadn't put the custom straps on it. So after my bridals I had to go back and get the straps put on, which they had no record that I ordered. So that was a hassle. It took three fitting to get them to work and what they had available wasn't even what I ordered, it was just two weeks away from the wedding so I had to take what they had. The fabric only kindof matched.The bridesmaid dresses were a disaster. I had two girls that ordered the same size but one was a little over 5 ft and the other was 5'10" so we paid extra for her dress to be long. I had to mail the long one halfway across the country when they finally came in, which was a whole months after they were promised!! We found out when the other girl did her fitting that she was given the wrong dress, which went hers was on the other side of the country. Only one of my girls was ordered the right size dress. All the others were seemingly ordered too big, so they could get alteration fees. My sister fit into the sample size perfectly, yet they ordered a size bigger and she had it cut down everywhere. She paid extra for custom straps too, and they didn't get those done as ordered until the Monday before the wedding. My grandmother sewed them onto her dress for her the night before!!!I do not recommend at all!

Very professional and great sales! I was able to buy my dress of the rack and at a great price! Ask for Maria! She is a great help! They also custom make their dresses.
