Introduction
The Wedding Industry
From a young age, I was drawn to the art of transformation. Even in high school, I found myself reimagining and redesigning garments truly fascinated by how a few thoughtful changes could completely renew a piece. That curiosity never left me. Over time, it naturally evolved into a passion for bridal design, where I could blend creativity, craftsmanship, and emotion. The idea of transforming gowns and preserving their history while giving them new life became the heart of my work and the reason I fell in love with the wedding industry.
The Wedding Memories
It is tough for me to pick a favorite wedding memory. I feel each one deeply for different reasons. However, I will share one that saw me through the start of it all. I had a bride, her mom, mother-in-law to be, father-in-law to be, sister, brother, husband to be, and sister-in-law to be, all come for something customized for the wedding whether it was an alteration, a custom bow tie or a custom gown. I have known them since childhood. Unfortunately, when we were in high school, my client lost her father to brain cancer. Her sister and brother lost him too, and her mom lost a loving husband. Only a few years after losing their father and husband, her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. This family has fought and been through things most couldn’t endure. The bride got engaged to her high school sweetheart and they came to me to help bring their visions to life for this very special celebration. They have been there from the start. When I was just starting out, I was taking consults at my kitchen table. They sat with me there as we started to sketch. The first to come to life was the mother of the bride’s gown. A true survivor and warrior sat in front of me as we designed an elegant gown together. The beading in silver and black swirled and weaved in the shapes of breast cancer ribbons. You wouldn’t know this looking at it, but if you knew her, you knew the symbolism. With custom you can personalize anything and everything. Their first series of fittings took place in my first and current studio. We got to build up the inside of the gown to accommodate for her single mastectomy. The customization didn’t stop here. We discussed embroidering a breast cancer/brain cancer ribbon into the inside of each of their gowns over the heart. We did just that. We even placed it on the pocket square of her brother. In addition, after speaking about the possibilities with embroidery, I was able to lift her dad’s handwriting off of a previous sentiment, digitize it, and place it in each of their gowns. Knowing how much this meant, I decided to place it on a ribbon for the bride to wrap around her bouquet so dad would be there with her as she walked down the aisle saying “I love you more”. For me this was an emotional project and one of my favorites to see how creating something was able to bring them together. It was able to bring the life of a loved one missed, present. Despite what they had been through, they celebrated the life they have and the love in and around them. Design became a unifying force with this project. I am forever grateful for their faith in me, and for showing me first hand why I do what I do. It’s more than just a dress.
Specialization
We specialize in couture, luxury, custom bridal and eveningwear gowns. This includes the creation, transformation, restoration, and cleaning of hierloom pieces. I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree focused in Special Occasion. I worked under many special occasion designers such as Marchesa and Dennis Basso before launching my own brand. Anything tedious, detail oriented, needing new life, and done by hand is our specialty.
Company History
I have gotten to where I am today with a lot of hard work, faith, and trust…and let's not forget many sleepless nights. Having gone through design school and working many jobs in all areas of the industry I was able to gain enough experience to launch my own business. I left fast fashion because I felt the individual person you are designing for got lost. When I was working endless hours for a designer who purely did just custom design, the fire was reignited and I knew what I had to do. If I were going to be putting in these endless hours I needed to do it for myself because on top of the desire to create beautiful things, I had a mission and a message in my heart I needed to share. I needed to be doing custom but in a new way. Custom transforamtions became my true passion projects. I pride myself in the uniqueness of my focus in remodeling and I plan to expand my clientele in this area. There is no “I” in team. What began as a one-woman studio has grown into a talented team built on shared artistry and trust. Over the years I've had the privilege of bringing together expert tailors I have met throughout my career. True professionals who's precision and skill reflect the highest standard of couture. Alongside them are the next generation of designers and seamstresses: Students I've trained personally in the classroom, now honing their craft in the studio. Together, we combine experience, education, and passion to create pieces that are thoughtfully made as they are beautiful.

BOLI Love!
Kerianne has such a welcoming, bubbly personality. She makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years.She graciously made time to alter my wedding dress. She is so talented and has a beautiful studio. She was very flexible with appointments and she allowed me to bring a bunch of family in with me as well. Absolutely loved working with her!
Kerianne is such a sweetheart. From the first phone call, she was so kind and things only went up from there. She made all the needed alterations to my dress and is quite the perfectionist. She did exactly what I wanted and I wouldn’t change a thing. Her staff is also so kind and wonderful to work with. I also purchased scrunchies made out of the fabric of my dress and they are beautiful. I will be returning to get my dress preserved with her.
Kerrianne is an actual angel on earth. She did the alterations on my shower dress and wedding dress. She rescued my shower dress after my local dry cleaner messed up my alterations. The work she does is amazing. She pays so much attention to detail and made the entire process enjoyable. Two days before our wedding she also hemmed my mom’s dress when she realized it was too long.
Kerianne is a delight to work with and literally saved the day! After a bad experience at the bridal shop where I purchased my dress, Kerianne literally read my mind - our consultation was thorough, she and her assistant were incredibly accommodating and down to earth, and I left feeling confident about the customizations needed for my dress. My mom and I refer to her as our fairy godmother and that's honestly the truth! If alterations are not included when buying your wedding dress, GO TO HER!

Kerianne is nothing short of amazing. She added sleeves, bustled, and tailored my dress and her work was absolutely perfect. I impulse bought my dress for 80% off at a sample sale and was worried that I had acted too hastily, but the changes she made to my dress made me completely fall in love. She’s so sweet and attentive, highly recommend her!
I LOVE HER! I had lost a total of 100 pounds before my wedding, when I bought my dress I had ordered it two sizes smaller in the hopes of losing more weight. Well after stressing it wouldn’t fit when it came in, it was certainly way too big. She took excellent care of my dress. You wouldn’t even know we basically took in 3 1/2 sizes! She is a gem, a true gem. Such an honor to work with her.
Kerianne is recommended all over this group for a reason, she really is the best. She took my mom's wedding dress from the 80s and turned it into a robe to get ready in, and it came out perfectly. She also took some of the scraps and made them into little hearts with my mom's handwriting embroidered on them. At our consultation, she was so good about helping me decide what I wanted because I came in with no idea what was even possible. If you have a sentimental piece, even if it's not related to your wedding, she is who you are looking for.
I need to shout from the rooftops to use Kerianne Meehan New York for your alterations! The way this woman took me from crying and wanting to get a whole new dress to obsessed is a miracle. This woman not only is the sweetest human but her work is FLAWLESS! I can’t believe how amazing my dress came out. She is worth every penny. 1000/10
Highly recommend, she made my dress fit like a glove! She’s the sweetest, I loved working with her!
When my dress came in, it was absolutely gigantic on me and didn’t fit and things weren’t done the way they were supposed to be. I was having panic attacks and going through a huge amount of stress when I brought my dress to Kerianne. She sat with me and the dress and eased all my fears and she said she can make it fit in time for my wedding day. In a span of three weeks this girl with everything else she’s working on basically rebuilt my dress to make it fit like a GLOVE. I didn’t even need a second fitting, that’s how well she did. She is not only a miracle worker, but such a good person. She listens and is so empathetic and kind. Her prices are extremely fair especially for all the work she did. I couldn’t recommend her more and I plan on using her for any other dress I may need in the future.
She is highly talented and a total gem. My husband and I loved working with her, and she truly made the dress and suit of our dreams come to life. Every time we had an appointment we were all laughing and having fun. I never felt uncomfortable voicing my opinions on making any changes to the dress. Her studio has a men’s and women’s changing rooms and is kept quite clean. Kerianne explains everything in detail step by step, answering all of my questions from sketching to picking out fabrics. My husband and I will be going back to her for cleaning and preservation…and maybe getting other suits and dresses made.
My gown needed quite a bit of work, and I am a fashion designer by trade, so I was nervous! Kerianne is a true artist and the sweetest! She truly calmed all of my nerves and made my gown fit perfectly
My wedding dress needed additional alterations and when I went to see Kerianne, she did such a beautiful job! The dress fit like a glove, and she even made my vision of adding a slit to my dress come true! (The dress didn’t come with a slit.) When I went to her, she truly listened to my needs and vision. She is so professional and friendly. I highly recommend her and I’ll definitely be going back in the future for any other alternations I might need.
I hired Kerianne as my wedding seamstress but also to help me with some very special and sentimental parts of my wedding day, including a custom veil, inclusion of my grandmother's dress as my Something Old and custom embroidery to represent my Something Blue. Kerianne also added custom sleeves to my wedding gown that were absolutely magical. I am very particular and really knew what I wanted and I could NOT have been happier with all Kerianne's work. I really can't get over how perfect everything was.
Kerianne Meehan has a talent that makes wedding dreams come true. I had Kerianne create a custom veil that perfectly matched my wedding gown, she completed my bridal alterations, and added several personal touches to my day.
Kerianne is so personal and professional and her dedication to her work is beyond impressive. Her business is decorated beautifully and she has really grown a very recognizable brand for herself. Will recommend her infinitely!
Kerianne is a WONDERFUL designer. She pays close attention to the needs of her clients, is an amazing crafts person, and is incredibly communicative. I recently got a maid of honor gown tailored by her, and she was able to make my dress look designer made, with a few small changes. Highly recommend!
Kerianne is not only the sweetest person, but she is extremely talented! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful and has an amazing attention for detail. Everyone and anyone needing alterations for their wedding dress should go here, you can’t go wrong!!
Kerianne altered a bridesmaid dress for me. Absolutely incredible - it fit perfectly and looked amazing. She is a top-notch designer and consummate professional. I look forward to my next event to utilize her services.
If you’re looking for a bridal salon on Long Island, look no further than Kerianne Meehan, New York! She’s so incredibly ambitious, talented, a true professional, and a visionary.
I had already purchased my wedding dress but had wanted to somehow incorporate pieces of my mom’s wedding dress into my own. I didn’t even know where to start or how to make that happen. But Kerianne had so many amazing ideas and I fully trusted her vision to make it come alive. And with the extra material from my mom’s dress, she recommended making a custom getting-ready robe out of the rest! I had already loved the dress I had purchased, but seeing the pieces of my mom’s dress added on made it absolutely perfect and something I will truly cherish forever. I feel like an absolute princess in my new one-of-kind dress and robe!
What truly sets Kerianne apart from other bridal salons is the way she makes you feel like you’re the only bride in the world. Kerianne truly cares about every single one of her clients. She is very present, accommodating, and responsive throughout the entire process. You truly could not be in better hands than hers. I’m very proud to say I now have two Kerianne originals!
Kerrianne custom designed & hand sewed my niece’s bridal gown. The gown was absolutely spectacular! The design, craftsmanship, attention to detail and finishing were astonishing. The gown was elegant, fashionable and fit my niece’is curvy shape like a glove. The bride received many compliments from her guests as well as all of my Facebook friends. Not only was the wedding gown fabulous but Kerrianne’s own outfit for the wedding was spectacular! A stunning black pantsuit that left me breathless! It was red-carpet worthy! If you need something WOW for a special occasion make an appointment to see this gal… she’ll have you turned out perfectly!
