Clarissa Boutique

I had the pleasure of working with the team at Clarissa Boutique over the last few years to help with hairpieces (for myself, bridal party and flower girl). The team helped with restoring my mom's veil (including re-attaching the blusher), hairpieces for bridesmaids and myself; as well as a headband for the flower girl. They were so accommodating, professional and all services and products were top notch and quality. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect day and are so grateful for your help.

Post-wedding addition: I ended up having a custom tulle shrug made to wear for my Catholic ceremony, and it was nothing short of gorgeous! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, thanks to all of suggestions from the owner and employees and Clarissa's Boutique! Thanks for making me a beautiful bride.

My experience at Clarissa's Boutique was nothing short of exceptional! My grandmother wanted to purchase my veil, so we made an appointment to visit with my dress. The owner spent over an hour with us helping choose the perfect veil and accessories to compliment my gown. She is very talented; the veil I chose was actually the first one she picked for me! I cannot wait to wear my veil and jewelry on my wedding day, and I highly recommend this boutique for all your bridal accessories (veil, jewelry, head pieces, clutches, hats, robes, and more)!

Update! Here are some photos of tiara & veil from Clarissa’s boutique at my wedding!

I purchased my veil and most of my bridal accessories here. Not only do they have high quality items, but everything is extremely reasonably priced!! They made a custom veil for me that was even more beautiful then what I had imagined. My grandma purchased it as a gift and they have been SO KIND to her. Anyone that treats my grandma like a queen gets an A plus in my book. If you’re getting married, go to Clarissa’s Boutique.

The owners were so kind and helpful in helping me select the perfect pieces. They even custom made a veil to fit the vision that I had. I would highly recommend shopping for all of your wedding accessories here!

I highly recommend Clarissa Boutique to any bride! I came on a weekday afternoon and had an lovely experience. The personalized attention from Penny was absolutely fabulous! She was patient and provided very sound, honest, but tasteful advice about all of my wedding accessories and overall look. I purchased earrings, a bracelet, headpiece, and a veil, and they all coordinated well and were great quality. They were able to tailor the veil to fit my height and make a few adjustments. It was an overall wonderful experience!

When I decided to use my mother’s halo headpiece I started looking for someone who could bring it back to life. Clarissa’s boutique was exactly what I was looking for and they have been so helpful with all of my bridal accessories. First of all, the restoration they did on my headpiece was amazing, it looked exactly like the day my mom wore it for my parents’ wedding. I also purchased my veil from Clarissa’s. They found a veil that matched my dress perfectly and had every detail that I wanted. I received so many compliments on it during my wedding! Finally, they helped me and my mother pick out our earrings which were also absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend them enough for all of your wedding accessory and restoration needs!

Clarissa Boutique is absolutely amazing! As soon as you walk in the door, you are greeted by the owners. They are extremely kind and very attentive! They found the perfect earrings for my mothers dress, helped me with my garter and purse, and helped me pick a few pieces of jewelry for my flower girls. They even offered to custom make a garter and they are custom making my flower girls bracelets to fit properly. I recommend everyone go and check this beautiful, elegant boutique out! They have so much to offer and will help you find anything you need for your special day!

I purchased my head piece and cathedral raw edge veil from Clarissa. They encouraged bringing my dress with me and I am so glad as I got to see the true look of accessories. It was a fun experience and I highly recommend.

Everything a bride NEEDS! I had such an amazing experience at Clarissa’s boutique. Penny was wonderful and patient as I tried on a million accessories. She helped me decide and consider all details of accessories so they fit cohesively with my dress. I purchased a cathedral veil, which Penny recommended adding custom sequins to match my dress, a vine headpiece, earrings, garter and lastly a custom face mask that included lace from my wedding dress. No detail was spared and the customer service was impeccable. I also got some history to Clarissa’s boutique, which was originally a fashion school run by Penny’s mother, now Penny and her sisters run the boutique together. I highly recommend this business and thoroughly enjoyed my bridal experience there. Thank you for your help!

My friend/bridesmaid and I had a lovely afternoon at Clarissa Boutique yesterday. What started as a veil shopping trip - ended up with purchasing coordinating accessories for all of the bridesmaids. She helped me clarify my overall vision for my and my people (especially since I'm being pretty laissez faire with it comes to dresses and shoes for them) and there was zero sales pressure. Everything naturally fell into place! If you're looking for someone to help clarify your vision and tie it all together in a tasteful way, Clarissa Boutique is the place for you!

If I could give 10/5 stars I would! Clarissa Boutique made altering my mother’s wedding veil for my wedding a breeze! The veil was not in the best of shape when I brought it in, but they did their magic on it and it turned out amazing! Penny was the woman who assisted me and she was wonderful to work with, she helped turned my vision into reality. She even gave me other ideas for the veil. I cannot wait to surprise my sister with a hair pin made from mothers veil when she stands by me on my big day. Thank you Penny for all your help and making this process so easy and meaningful!

I went to Clarissa boutique to purchase earrings and a bracelet for my wedding day accessories and they were so helpful. I was able to show them pictures of my dress and explain my vision and they were able to guide me to pieces that were the perfect addition. I highly recommend working with them for your wedding day needs they are so kind, knowledgeable, and their products are a beautiful way to accessorize your dress!

I made an appointment and took my new wedding gown into Clarissa Boutique to accessorize. Penny greeted and assisted me. She is such a darling and delightful lady! She was able to hone in on my needs and show me exactly what I needed to complete my look. She and all the staff are professional and very easy to work with. They all have the gift of knowing what a Bride needs.
The merchandise is amazing!!! Jewelry, hair combs, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, tiara's, headbands, bobby pins, veils, belts, the list goes on and on!!! They turned a simple head vine into a glamorous necklace that exceeded my expectations. They do custom work, on anything you can imagine, veils, jewelry, handbags, bride and bridal party accessories. Whatever the Bride is looking to achieve, she will find it here at Clarissa Boutique.

I had such a great experience here! I was helped by Penny, who was so sweet and so thorough in assisting me when searching for a headpiece and earrings for my upcoming wedding. The selection at the boutique is great and they seemed to have options for a wide variety of budgets. Penny really took her time in helping me look at my options and really considered the available choices by looking at photos of my dress and taking my hair/skin coloring into consideration as well. I could not be more pleased with what I ended up purchasing! I would happily recommend Clarissa Boutique to anyone searching for jewelry and accessories!

Clarissa Boutique has an amazing selection of wedding accessories and classic, elegant veils for reasonable prices. The ladies of Clarissa Boutique were wonderful to work with. I received a thank you note that included a discount offer after only visiting to view their selection. This was particularly touching and astonishing to me after hearing that the boutique that I purchased my dress and all of the bridesmaid dresses at wouldn't offer me any discount for any accessories. I would unconditionally recommend Clarissa Boutique for any bride.

Clarissa Boutique did a fantastic job on my wedding dress alterations! They, also, helped me tremendously with their creativity and knack for finding the right combination of jewelry and accessories. The staff is incredibly skillful and extremely kind. They made wonderful suggestions for me, all of which I took. I never would have recognized the coordination and level of detail without their help! Absolute great experience! I would highly recommend them for all of your jewelry, accessories, and alteration needs!

Bought my wedding dress here back in February 2020 right before the pandemic. They were fabulous about keeping my dress for longer than expected and making alterations and suggestions! The dress was a much larger size than I needed and the alterations are perfect. It looks like a different dress, in the best way, after their work!

Such an adorable bridal shop in Lawrenceville! They are custom designing my veil from my mom & grandma’s dress! They came highly recommended and I can’t wait to see my veil!

When my daughter got married a few years ago, Clarissa Boutique took a simple pearl necklace that had been in the family for years, and they re-designed it to be a focal jewelry piece for my daughter's wedding. It coordinated perfectly with her gown, and we were thrilled. Clarissa Boutique also customized the jewelry for the entire wedding party. So, it only made sense that when I wanted christening bracelets designed for my grand babies, that Clarissa Boutique was the place for me. Clarissa Boutique is such a unique store, and their customized designs are exceptional. Not only is their craftsmanship perfection, their customer service makes you feel like you are their one and only client. If planning a wedding, or special event - shop Clarissa Boutique first, and you will be delightfully amazed!

Every Pittsburgh bride should check this store out! The sisters that were working that day were so helpful and guided me through what I needed. When I walked into the store I wasn’t completely sure what I wanted, but when I showed pictures of my dress Penny was able to guide me through the different accessories and what not. Would recommend to anyone!

Staff was very COVID safe and considerate. Made me feel very comfortable.
