the atelier in the heart of Merano

A UNIQUE AND SPECIAL PLACE, JUST LIKE EACH BRIDE

After welcoming brides from all over the world to our pop-up store, Verliebt finally opens the doors of its atelier in Merano.

Located at Via Mainardo 138, in the historic heart of the city, the new atelier is now the official flagship store of Verliebt by Alessia Borrelli and the first and only atelier dedicated to wedding dresses in Merano.

An intimate and exclusive space awaits you, where South Tyrolean roots inspired by Dirndl meet the couture of Italian design and where every bride can enjoy a completely personalized experience.

Just minutes from the historic center and easily accessible by car or public transportation, our atelier is much more than a showroom: it is a true bridal oasis reserved exclusively for brides-to-be who wish to find the perfect dress with ease, emotion, and authenticity.
Just you, the people you love, and all the magic of the Verliebt universe.

Danke liebe Alessia!

Danke liebe Alessia, du hast unseren schönsten Tag noch schöner gemacht! Du bist nicht nur wahnsinnig talentiert sondern auch ein super lieber Mensch 🤍 Danke vom Herzen für alles! ❤️

Thanks Alessia!

My wedding dreams became true because of this woman! Alessia is not only a precious and kind soul but also an excellent and unconventional designer! Coming from the US to elope in South Tyrol was not easy to plan my wedding dress shopping but thankfully I found this atelier and in a blink of an eye we found my complete bridal look in just a few hours. The process was truly emotional and not at all complicated as I thought. Alessia led me with patience through every detail of my gown and made sure everything was on point on the big day. From the first try-on appointment to fittings everything run smoothly and professionally. Side note: she speaks English very fluently and that made the whole process from start to finish soo easy. Thanks again!

    FAQ: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VERLIEBT STORE IN MERAN

    WHAT ARE THE OPENING HOURS?

    We want to accommodate the needs of the couples and therefore offer flexible opening hours from Monday to Sunday. After you submit your appointment request, you will be asked about your preferable days and times. Based on this, we will suggest you various options.

    CAN I STOP BY SPONTANEOUSLY OR DO I NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?

    For the reasons mentioned above, we are currently only available by appointment.

    How does the bridal journey unfold after making an appointment?

    After receiving your appointment request, the designer will have a short call to discuss the key elements of your dress search. When you arrive at the atelier, Alessia will have you try on some styles she selected based on your requests. Once your dress is found, you will be asked to do another two or three fittings, depending on any alterations needed, before scheduling the final delivery of the dress approaching your wedding date.

    How many and which styles can I try on during the appointment?

    There’s no limit to the number of dresses you can try on; this depends on how the appointment goes. After you request an appointment, our designer Alessia will have a brief conversation with you. She will ask you specific questions to determine the style and features of your perfect dress. During your consultation, you’ll find a selection of dresses to try on, but of course, you can also pick other styles out of the selection. Some people find their perfect dress right away, others only after three trials. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

    How long does the consultation take?

    The duration varies depending on the type of appointment: The initial consultation and clothing selection can take up to two hours, while the next fittings take about an hour. In any case, the store will be entirely at your disposal, and we will never pressure you.

    How many people can I bring to the appointment?

    A maximum of three guests are allowed at the consultation appointment. This number is important so that the bride can receive sufficient advice without being overwhelmed by too many opinions. Therefore, please choose carefully who you bring with you.

    HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?

    We recommend booking an appointment at least 8 months before your wedding to ensure the widest selection of styles and the best customisation options possible. A bespoke style requires a minimum of 6 to 8 months to make.

    WE'RE GETTING MARRIED SOON AND I DON'T HAVE A DRESS YET. COULD I STILL FIND SOMETHING?

    Of course, our atelier in Merano also offers a wide selection of dresses, matching sets and accessories for brides who are getting married at the last minute, which you can take home immediately after your appointment. However, we recommend visiting the store at least a month before your wedding to get a wider selection, have your dress altered to your measurements and to enjoy a relaxed shopping experience!

    Are there any groom collections available?

    Verliebt also dresses the groom, but no ready-made collections are currently available. However, upon request, we can design some completely custom-made and personalized garments so that future husbands can live up to their brides’ expectations! For these types of creations, we ask that you schedule an appointment at least six months in advance.
