Lena Medoyeff Studio

Girl Heaven. I tend to be the "lurker" type on Yelp, only reading what others write. But I recently purchased a dress from Lena's and cannot stop putting it on and prancing around- very classic with a twist. Their cashmere wraps are like little angels keeping your shoulders warm. The outfit makes me feel sensational, and one of a kind.

They make wedding dresses as well, the moment I discovered this, my boyfriend, poor guy, who drives me by the store on our way home all the time---- as I obnoxiously repeat "That is where I'm going when we get engaged."

The atmosphere is comfortable and the staff was really beautiful inside and out. Overall, if your going to spend money, you wont regret doing it here.  View Less … View More

Utterly Fanastic. I walked in the day before I was leaving to go back home to NYC. I am in the retail industry and I believe the quality of the shopping experience should be just as high of the quality of the garments. This is true at Lena Medoyeff Studio in Portland (and the quality of the. I did not plan on buying my wedding dress when I walked in--I didn't even plan on trying any on. However, Amber Lee was so lovely and knowledgeable about Lena Medoyeff and her dresses that I found myself in the fitting room with many dresses. Amber Lee's attention to detail and dedication to the customer's happiness is unparalleled. My fiance and I had a wonderful time with her in the store. When I tried on the dress that she and Lena had picked out for me (I thought it was a cut I would hate), I knew I had found it. My fiance exclaimed "I have never seen a woman look more beautiful in a dress than you do in this." I bought it right then and there for my Sept 2010 wedding.

Do yourself a wonderful favor and stop here on your hunt.

Thanks Lena Medoyeff Studio!

I want to tell you the best kept secret if your looking for the perfect wedding dress.. I looked in a few different bridal stores looking for the perfect dress that I would shine in (not the dress wearing me). Amber was an incredible help and Lena, the designer, was there to talk to about the different dresses. Lena's dresses all look amazing on, they range from classically beautiful to feminine and fashion forward. I was wanting a dress that I would look amazing in and feel comfortable wearing the entire night from the ceremony into the dancing. Amber helped me pick the perfect dress for me. We decided on a gorgeous wide silk off white band that hangs down the back for the ceremony and then I will change it to a beautiful steel blue sash. I'm writing this review to tell all women looking for an amazing dress that you will be able to dance and run around in, this is the store. Not to mention everything is fair trade and it's all Locally designed by Lena herself.  View Less … View More

Elegant and chic designs; personable service. Talk about a diamond in the rough. I have been to most of the wedding stores in town carrying all the top designers and nothing felt right for me. I am quite particular and was looking for a dress that was elegant, stylish, but not so contemporary that I would look back at my wedding photos and wonder, "what was I thinking?!?" After several months of searching, I finally caught wind of this shop and found the perfect dress for me. The first dress I tried on met every criteria I was hoping for but couldn't find.

You will not find Lena Medoyeff on theknot, or any other wedding website. This local designer, who I had the pleasure to meet, is pretty much word of mouth only. Her designs really showcase the bride and this chic boutique makes you feel like you've come across something really unique. Amber was the associate who helped me, and she was extremely knowledgeable in the fabrics and designs. It was evident she loves what she does. It was a no pressure atmosphere; very personable and friendly. I couldn't be happier with my decision and I only thought it was fair to share this fantastic place with other future brides. Happy hunting!  View Less … View More
