Best Indian Wedding Bride Dress Shops in Howell, NJ

Back in January me and my boyfriend had decided that after 5 years of dating that with covid 19 pandemic and his fathers declining health that we didn't want to wait anymore and that we would just have a quick court wedding... our families are from two different cultures and different religions so we thought this would be the best way to keep the peace ..I wasnt expecting the beautiful dress or any ceremony... the week of the wedding we decided maybe we would buy some outfit just for memories sake. We went to multiple stores and delt with some rude businesses before we ventured into Maharani... the whole vibe was different the owner greeted us and tended to every need.making sure we found exactly what we were looking for knowing we were short of time he had the alterations done on the dress immediately and worked with us on the price .. he repeated you have to be happy its your day and I want to help make that happen thanks to him I was able to feel like a princess on the day I married and I cant thank him enough. I would recommend this store to anyone!

They have the best collection of Lehengas and silk sarees. Excellent customer service and they are extremely friendly and attentive. Had the best shopping experience and definitely recommend their store. You will never be disappointed.

Maharani fashions is a hidden gem! Uncle ji and his team were so accommodating and they all made it so easy for me to choose my wedding dress! They had an amazing selection of dresses. Given the short time span for my wedding, Uncle ji got my dress made in 3 weeks! He made it happen! He also had my fiancé’s sherwani custom-made! Highly highly recommend! A big Thank you to the entire Maharani Fashions team! :)

Love the dresses here and custom made gowns.

I would highly recommend Maharani Fashions! My husband and I decided to get married in a short span of time and Ravi Uncle made my lehenga perfect. Ravi Uncle and his team were great at suggestions and helping my find my perfect lehenga. He even switched out the color for me to a deeper red and got his team in India to work on it promptly. My lehenga looks like a Sabyasachi piece but wayyyy more affordable. I would recommend everyone to go there and will be coming back for my sisters wedding.

I was referred to Maharani Fashions to custom make a dress for a family function. I described what I wanted, and they did the rest!! My dress came out even more beautiful than I had imagined. They really care about their customers and will make sure you leave satisfied!

Uncle is super nice. He helped me to get my kurta and pajama on time. We customized a lot of things and uncle helped us to get thing as we liked. Recommends his store for everyone.

Nice collection

Recently purchased my fiance's sherwani from here, the outfit fit him perfectly and was beautifully made - one week early! Very happy with it.

This was my first time visiting Maharani Fashion. Mr. Ravi and his staffs were very helpful and understanding. I got my mehndi and wedding dress from here, and both were customized. He was able to get it ready within TWO WEEKS! Thank you so much for such a great experience!!!

Great team and amazing customer service. Our dresses came earlier than we expected. Highly recommend

I went to at least 6 designers before visiting maharani fashion and I must say none of them understood us as much as Ravi uncle I felt like all these designers weren't ready to interact if a HUGE amount wasn't what we had in mind.ravi uncle and all staff, on the other hand had the humility to at least start if someone just randomly walked in. I loved every bit of my dresses so did everyone else. I also got my order well before time and this time is really hard time to all world becoz COVID 19 nothing possible to dO but Maharani fashion did great jOb I give 5five ??????????made sure I was accommodated through out. If you are an upcoming bride, this is your place to visit.

OMG absolutely love this place!!!!! Just picked up my dress, it was custom-made. I wanted a red on red bridal lehnga with detailed design and bling. I went to so many stores and couldn’t Find what I was exactly looking for. Some dresses were red on red with no detail, some no bling, etc. I finally came to Maharaani and told them what I was looking for. They went FAR AND BEYOND to make it look like what I wanted. It’s a dream come true. Kalpunna and Ravi were amazing in making sure that everything was according to my style. The right amount of bling, the individual designs ?????? I cant thank them enough. I can’t wait to wear this on my wedding. I recommend this place to every dulhan (bride) who wants their dream dress to come true. They don’t let you leave until you are happy. They are ready to fix anything. I don’t know why people wrote bad reviews.

This place is great. Truly great selection, top quality, and nice, decent staff who actually care about the outcome. The uncle & aunty owners are super helpful, give genuine opinions and take pride in their items. They specialize in custom formal (particularly bridal) wear & I love that they care about quality & about making their customers happy. Now, this place is not cheap...but, neither is good quality clothing. Thank you all!

Ordered 2 outfits for my son’s wedding in LA. I had never worn this specific type of clothing and, as a larger woman, items had to be ordered and custom made. I was very concerned that the measurements would be incorrect and the fit would be poor. When I received the garments and tried them on, they were perfect. I was very pleasantly surprised. Excellent work; I would recommend this store.

I walked into maharani fashions disheartened by being turned down by other stores. I’m a heavy person so finding something readymade was impossible. I had a month before my wedding and no dress to wear to my own wedding. All the other stores around turned me down for the time crunch or the budget wasn’t high enough. I was exhausted from trying at at least 6 stores. I walked into maharani fashion with the thought that they were also going to turn me down. When I walked in I was greeted by Mrs. Ravi asking what I was looking for. I told her I needed something bridal in my size and time is a huge factor. She asked me how long I have and I told her about a month and she said it was plenty of time. Those words coming out of her mouth rang bells of hope in my head. She was my hope! Their selections were, in my opinion, better than the other selections I’ve seen at other stores. I wanted something different, not your typical bridal red with gold. Mrs. Ravi said pick whatever you want and we can customize it to whatever you want in whatever color and whatever additions you want. This sounded wayyy too good to be true but what other choice did I have? I took a leave of faith and picked something and had it customized. I just picked the dress up on Friday night and if no one was there I would’ve probably cried at how beautiful the dress was. It came out better than what I had imagined. I tried the dress on at the store and it fit like a glove. I didn’t want to take the dress off. It brought me back to the first day when I didn’t even want to walk into the store because I assumed they were going to refuse me. I can’t thank Mr. and Mrs. Ravi and their team enough. You guys were my knight in shining armor!! Thank you very very much. Definitely definitely highly recommend.

During my search for a perfect wedding lehenga, I went to each and every single store on Oak Tree and felt disappointed after trying on 30 plus lehengas (Yes, I am very picky). When I went to Maharani, I was offered a variety of lehengas with different colors and styles. They have something to fit every personality. After trying on couple more lehengas, I decided to get a custom one made based on a Sabyasachi design that I saw on Pinterest. Ravi uncle and Kalpanaben guided me through the process of selecting the colors and fabric. I have to admit after seeing the first swatch I was disappointed but Ravi uncle assured me that it will come out exactly as I had pictured it in my mind. After seeing the second swatch I was super excited to see the final product. THE FINAL PRODUCT WAS BEYOND MY EXPECTATION! The work was very clean, fitting was excellent and most importantly it was delivered at the right time. They have truly gained a customer for life. The staff is very sweet especially Kalpanaben, who listened to me and understood exactly what I wanted. They make you feel like family and make the shopping process fun. Will definitely be shopping from them in the future. Once again, THANKS Maharani Fashions! :)

Excellent selection of clothing. Highly recommend a visit

Truly a fantastic place! Firstly the staff are absolutely wonderful. They are caring and accommodating and go the extra mile. Secondly, their selections are amazing. I found such a unique lengha for my wedding that rivals the top boutiques in India. They can custom make anything and are ready to run with your imagination. Truly happy with their service and will return for future purchases.

I've ordered my wedding reception dress from here. The customer here was excellent and the owner Ravi made it easy. I wanted a customized dupatta and top longer and got exactly what i wanted! Designs were the same and customization was great and I received it ahead of time, enough time to do a second fitting. They customize the outfit you choose exactly how you want. I'm satisfied with my service and absolutely love my dress! :)

They got the most exclusive collections in the town. Got my wedding lahenga and my grooms sherwani from here. Very good service. Loved their customised work. The dress looks soooo gorgeous. Very happy and satisfied with their service. Thank u guys!!

I bought our wedding lahenga and sherwani from this store. The shop owner and ladies in the store were so friendly and cooperative. I was a cranky bride but they were very patient. Tbh i got confused because they have a large collection of gorgeous wedding dresses. They customised my wedding dress just like I wanted. Thanks to the shop owner for being sooo nice and patient with me. Because I texted him many times to change the color of my husband's sherwani. They never complained. Instead they were showing me color sample colors over whatsapp just to make sure I can choose the right one. The delivery time was very fast. And the way they talk and communicate I felt like I know them for years. Very caring very warm!! Thank you guys. I will always be thankful to u. Overall I would say, I am 100% satisfied with my dress, their attitude and services.I Highly recommend all the brides to visit Maharani Fashion Plaza. If u are looking for perfection, do visit this place once. You wont regret!!

Very nice people 1st place in the area that actually helped my wife and showed her items that she wanted not what they thought she wanted to buy.

I regret not coming to this place first. My fiancé was promised a sherwani to match my dress and Ravi got it on point and custom made within 4 days. Their service is amazing and the quality of their work is definitely worth it. Recommended!

Mr.Ravi is the owner of this International cultural outfit center. He runs the place in a professional manner . Outfits are in style and he can customize according to client’s need.

Very glad I came across maharani fashions. Desperate to find good tailors for my wedding and I was so happy I came across maharani fashions. Everyone was super helpful and they were able to to help according to my specifications and I was able to get all my items super fast. They really took good care of all my tailoring and wedding needs and would recommend anyone to go here!

Beautiful custom made outfits! They are able to mix and match. Lots of selection for a variety of styles. Definitely recommend checking out if shopping in Edison.

Thank you so much to everyone at maharani in Edison! It was the first store I went to to begin my wedding shopping but I thought I couldn't stop there and had to look around at all of the other boutiques in the area. Of all the stores on oak tree road, they definitely pride themselves on their customer service and selection so after going everywhere else I made my way back! Special shout out to Ravi ji, priti and kalpana for helping me with all of my wedding outfits!! My sister also got all of her outfits from there - 15 years ago for her own wedding and now for mine - absolutely timeless!

Excellent customer service. We live in Canada, Ottawa and we travelled all the way to New Jersey to order our wedding outfits? from them. They custom made all the dresses we ordered and made sure we got it on time. Owner personally? called us couple of times to ensure all the outfits ordered are done right and to the perfection?. He even ensured there was no delay in delivery because we were coming from Canada to pick them up. Very pleased and will definitely use their services again.

My dress came out beautiful and the service was great, highly recommend!!

It's great shopping

I got two dresses for my wedding from here last year in July and both of them were perfect. Kalpana and Ravi both are very helpful and are true to their words. I got what I had ordered and was very happy with the quality of their work.

We ordered my daughter's wedding clothes from Maharani and got some saree blouses stitched. My daughter and I were measured for size, we were given a deliverables date and our clothing items arrived on time, in perfect condition, with bare mimnimum adjustment. The whole time, Ravi, Kalpana and tge entire team were in touch with us, taking care of the orders and changes. We were so happy with their service, which was always provided with a smile. We even recommended them to our friends who ordered mother and daughter's clothes for their son's wedding soon after. Thank you Maharani team for making my daughter's day special.

They have a great selection and excellent service. I had a sherwani made custom for my wedding that fit perfectly. My mother bought a ghagra choli and had alterations done quickly on site by a friendly and helpful staff. Well worth the price!

Dear Ravi Uncle, Shashi Auntie, Kalpna, and the entire staff at Maharani. My now husband and I wanted to thank you for all of your services during our wedding style needs. From the time I walked in to the store over a year ago, I fell in love with the quality of your collections, and more importantly the service that you provided my family and me. Being a plus sized bride, the bridal staff was extremely helpful and understanding of what styles and bridal options would be best suited for my body type. Having the opportunity to spend over three weeks shopping in the UK for my bridal needs with no luck, the sole customer service attitude at Maharani make them stand out to the rest. My family and I had the opportunity to order over ten outfits for my wedding needs, from my engagement party to bridal shower to henna party, to pre-wedding festivities to our wedding day & reception within the timeline provided, often times much earlier. Throughout the process Maharani was there with me. Step by step we chose outfits to fit my personality. The pieces of art were tailored to fit perfectly. The quality of work was everything I had hoped it would be. In addition, Ravi uncle was even able to custom make my diamond mangalsutra, designed perfectly based on the two photos of inspiration. Lastly, both Ravi Uncle and Shashi Auntie were beyond gracious and made us feel at home. Thank you & we both are looking forward to being lifelong customer!

I walked into this store and immediately found the lengha I dreamed of wearing for my bridal outfit. Then, I had a picture of a dress I wanted to have designed from scratch in India (reception outfit), and Maharani Fashions said they could do it and match the picture perfectly. I was definitely nervous about paying up front and there are no contracts at this store, but we stayed in constant contact with the ladies of the store and made sure they know when I need both outfits by. I did set a deadline two months ahead of my true wedding date! BOTH dresses turned out to be gorgeous. They fit perfectly and above all, I was impressed with the dress they created from scratch. They had me come back to try on a mock-up of the outfit first, which was great, because it ensured that the final dress would fit well. The dress had great work on it. Overall I had a very good experience. I would ensure you write down a copy of what you have requested them to design the day you put money down, so that you can refer to it as the process continues forward. Thank you Maharani Fashions!

Wedding dress and Kurthas were made here and turned out great. Been back for alterations and are extremely helpful.

Not sure what these other reviews are talking about but I have had an AMAZING experience with the team at Maharani Fashions. I was VERY skeptical but desperate to find something for my reception. I went to Maharani Fashions after being disappointed in most other stores on the street. Their inventory is remarkable and better than that they customize anything and everything. I went there in May and ordered my saree in different color then what I saw it in. I was really worried if the blouse would fit or if they would even care based on the reviews I've read. I emailed Ravi several times and I got an immediate response (on his day off) and the next day Kalpana called me. She remembered me 3 months later!!! THAT IS AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. I was still worried driving in today as any soon to be bride would be. BUT as soon as I walked in - they were expecting me. Helped me try the saree on and helped my future mother in law pick out something she would love. Preeti and Kalpana gave amazing advice and Ravi was there to help as well. When my mother in law did find something it was double her actual size and Ravi told us he would get it made in her size and have it for us by the end of September! Throughout the experience I felt like I was with family and was getting advice that was honest and very helpful! They really are willing to do anything and everything to help their customers. I will post pictures of the saree later - after the wedding but also pictures of my mother in laws dress. I am also hoping to go back at the end of September and get my mom a saree and a dress for my flower girl. The only complaint I have is that I wish they were up in Boston and much closer to me! Thank you for everything! I will see you all very soon! Anu Mehta

I had a great experience at Maharani Fashions! I came in unsure of what I wanted and was able to find the most beautiful leghna for my brothers wedding. They were able to tailor it to my size and it fit perfectly. They were very accomodating and I got it right on time. They did everything to make me completely satisifed with my purchase! I definately recommend coming here next time you are in Edison.

Excellent customer service and follow up. Bought a ghaghra for a cousin's wedding. Quality of the final product was as promised and outfit was delivered on time. Extra care was taken to make final adjustments on delivery to make small alterations for the best fit. Would highly recommend Maharani for any ethnic shopping needs.

I had a wonderful experience at MAHARANI FASHIONS. I came looking for an outfit for my sweet 16, they are nice and helpful people. Alternations were great and fast. My dress was custom and they had my dress done within less than 4 days and it was perfect. I highly recommend this place.

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience at Maharani. We picked out her wedding sari and reception lengha over a couple of visits to the shop. What was the most pleasant surprise was the fact that we had both sari and lengha stitched in India, all perfectly. My fiance fell in love with a sari design in the shop, but didn't love the color. Ravi Verma and others were very helpful and suggested we have the same design stitched in a different color. It worked beautifully! All in all, we enjoyed shopping there, and came out with high quality clothes for the wedding! Highly recommend Maharani Fashions.
