Last night I wore the dress and I’ve genuinely never felt more beautiful in my life. Thank you so much for creating a piece I love so much and thank you for making the dress happen in such a short amount of time, the underlayer of the skirt fit great and it made it so it wasn’t sheer.
It was the perfect dress for my graduation! I love it 😻!
It was a truly fun & luxurious experience to visit the breathtaking studio of Raphaella. Elma is a sweetheart who makes you feel fantastic and spends a very generous amount of her time and attention to make the guest's dreams come true.
I absolutely love the dress and felt really beautiful! I’m excited to wear it again! Thank you very much :)
I felt so stunning in it! I saw the dress originally on Pinterest and knew I had to have it. The best dress ever!
I can’t count on my fingers how many compliments I got for it! I felt like a princess. Thank you for making the most beautiful dress and making me feel so pretty 🥰🥰🥰
absolutely loved my dresss!!!!!!! Everyone asked where I got it !!!!! Thank you thank you🤎🤎🤎🤎
Blown away by the whole experience! Absolutely love my dress and everything about it; the fit, the fabric, the quality, the colour, the way it cinches you in with still being super comfortable and flowy. I have never gotten so many compliments in my life! And then to meet Raphaella and her team in her beautiful Barcelona studio, getting it custom made just made it all that bit more special. Thank you Raphaella for making my favourite dress of all time!
A huge thank you to the amazing RS team for making me feel like the most beautiful bride in this stunning dress. I received so many compliments and everyone wanted to know where my dress was from. My sister and I had the BEST and most fun experience with lovely Eva when we came into the store to find my wedding dress. We will never forget how kind and accommodating the RS team were to help make my perfect dress. Thank you all so much for making everything so special ❤️❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect dress for a beach celebration! I wore the Frida Dress to our wedding welcome party in Mexico, and it was perfect. It arrived super fast, which gave me peace of mind leading up to the big weekend. The fabric is lightweight and comfortable, exactly what you want for a beach sunset party, and the fit and style felt like it was made just for me (several guests said the same thing!). I got compliments all night long. Already looking for the next occasion to wear it again. Thank you, Raphaella Santana!
Loved it!!!!
I felt so stunning in the dress. The silhouette was perfect and made me feel so beautiful. The color looked amazing on me and it is such a timeless and versatile piece that I will be wearing for a long long time. The quality of the material was great and very soft. The photos don’t do justice to how the dress flows in real life. So lucky to have found this dress and have it for my pre-wedding photoshoot! 🩷
The dress was gorgeous and I got compliments alllllll night. So many girls wanted to know where I got it. I do wish there were slits in the lining, it was a bit restricting. And the piece over the seam under the breast kept flipping up, I do wish it were stitched down.
The most stunning and beautifully made dress I now own. I had a wedding coming up in 3 weeks and was concerned it wouldn’t get to me in time but Elma responded so quickly to my enquiries AND my dress got here within 1.5 weeks. I am obsessed!
I absolutely loved wearing the corset for my hen and received so many compliments on it! Thank you 💖💖
We were 7 bridesmaids in the most beautiful dresses! We could all get slight variations to make them work for our styles and every single one was perfect. I felt comfortable and fancy and sexy and can't wait to wear this again. The scarf is also the most beautiful touch. Plus Raphaella is the sweetest and I heard she was amazing in the showroom and I'm sad I couldn't meet her!
I found raphaelle’s brand years ago and fell in LOVE with the feminine silhouettes of all her designs. I knew that one day, when i was going to get married, that i wanted one of her dresses to be my second look. Fast forward a few years when I was planning my wedding, and I got to make this little dream come true. This dress is SO beautiful and i felt so beautiful in it. It’s soft, whimsical and feminine. It felt like an extension of me on my wedding. Truly couldn’t be happier with this piece ❤️
I’m actually obsessed with this dress! From the moment I put it on, it just felt special. The fabric is so luxurious and the fit is beautiful. You can really see the care that’s gone into making it. Nothing feels rushed or overdone, it’s just thoughtfully made. I’ve never received so many compliments on something I’ve worn. People kept stopping me to ask about it, which honestly says everything. This dress has genuinely made me fall in love with the brand. I already know I’ll be back for more! I need it in other colours!💗💗💗
I purchased the Kaia Maxi Dress, and it is without a doubt the most beautiful dress I own. The fabric, the fit, and the intricate detailing make it feel truly one of a kind. I’ve never received so many compliments on a piece before. The Raphaella team was exceptionally helpful and accommodating, ensuring the dress was ready in time for my occasion. The entire experience felt smooth, effortless, and genuinely enjoyable. I also visited their store in Barcelona on a later occasion, and it reflects the same care, attention to detail, and warm, inviting atmosphere.
I wore the corset for my 22nd birthday and felt like an absolute princess. I received so many compliments from my friends and some strangers:) The corset feels incredibly high quality. I will definitely be purchasing more pieces from Raphaella Santana.
I was the prettiest one in the party, thank you thank you
I wore one of Raphaella’s dresses to my wedding welcome party and it was absolutely perfect. She was so kind, took all my measurements, and helped customize it with an extra layer. She shipped it from Barcelona to San Francisco and the fit was flawless. I received so many compliments on how flowy and beautiful the material was. I can’t wait to wear it again for another special occasion. Thank you for making me feel so amazing
I got so many compliments on the dress, will definitely be ordering others in the future 🙂
I’m so honored to wear Raphaella Santana. The Hera fit like an absolute dream and was the perfect gown for my engagement shoot. Raphaella and her team are truly angels to work with; I look forward to rewearing this piece, and investing in many more from her collection 💖
I wore Raphaella Santana for my bachelorette and felt incredible. It was elegant but still fun, which was exactly the vibe I wanted. They customised the length to suit my height, so it was the perfect fit, no alterations needed. The quality is beautiful and you can tell so much thought goes into each design. I received so many compliments and didn’t want to take it off. Such a special piece I’ll always associate with such a fun, meaningful time 🤍
I recently bought the Delilah dress and absolutely love it! The fit is very flattering and really comfortable, and the fabric feels beautiful and high quality. It looks even better on than I expected and I got so many compliments wearing it for my bridal dinner. Such an easy, effortless piece that you can dress up or down. Team were so lovely and went to the extra effort to make sure it arrived in time 🤍
This dress is absolutely stunning! I love how versatile it is, and the extra skirt layer makes it feel that little bit more elegant. I felt so comfortable and received so many compliments. A truly beautiful piece! 🤍
When the dress arrived, I absolutely adored it and felt truly amazing wearing it. There was a small issue with the additional waist band being slightly too tight, which meant it didn’t sit quite right and rolled a little. Considering the dress was being shipped to the UK, I expected this to be stressful but the team immediately remade that section and sent it back out the very next day without hesitation. No drama or fuss even when the big day was fast approaching. Having a dress made for my body made the whole experience feel genuinely special and unique. I loved being able to support an independent women owned business and have loved watching the brand continue to grow, all while Raphaella was pregnant herself! The only thing I wish I’d done differently would have been making it out to Barcelona to meet Raphaella and her team in person and I wish I had left enough time to get a second dress in a different fabric for my after party! I honestly can’t wait for another event where I get to rewear it! Xxxx
This dress makes you look like a modern princess💗 I received many compliments and it made my bday very special🥹 It’s perfect for functions because the material doesn’t wrinkle and stays looking presentable throughout the event. Highly recommend!
if you have any doubt DONT. My experience here was easy from the very beginning. The website is super user friendly. I was worried I wouldn’t get it by my wedding event and reached out to ask for clarity and was responded to promptly and very kindly! RAPHAELLA SANTANA is a must have in your closet. The fabric fits so beautifully and you WILL receive endless compliments. I would hire this company to make all of my dresses if I could ❤️🤍🌸
I got so many compliments on the dress it is absolutely beautiful
This was my maid of honor dress for my best friend’s wedding (talk about a friend who loves her bridesmaids!) I got so many compliments on it and felt like a fairy princess all night. A piece I’ll cherish forever (and hopefully wear again for a wedding event of my own soon!)
Raphaela Santana’s designs are uniquely created to make us feel femenin and empowered. Every piece reflects a deep respect for craftsmanship and a commitment to authenticity, something she’s stayed true to since the very beginning. Highly recomend her pieces and will be a longterm supporter of her brand, a must visit when in Barcelona💕
Absolutely love this dress. The fabric drapes beautifully and feels so elegant on the body. I really appreciate the option to customise the length and add an extra skirt layer. It makes the piece feel truly personal and special 🩷
I saw this dress all over my social media and instantly fell in love! Perfect for a destination wedding! I actually flew to Barcelona to try it on myself after saving it on Pinterest 1000x and it couldn’t be more perfect. The detail, the colour, the fit. It’s so beautifully made and my favourite purchase ever! I’ve never felt more like a princess. An investment piece that is so perfectly made I’ll be wearing for many years to come. As a bigger bust women I struggle to find dresses that fit well but the sizing fit like a glove. If you’re thinking of making the purchase I promise it’s worth it!! I had endless compliments at the wedding!!❤️
I got SO MANY compliments on the dress!! Thanks so much for the hard work you put into your pieces
The Hera Dress was an absolute show stopper for my wedding recovery day, received so many compliments and I honestly can’t wait to wear it again! Perfect fit and such incredible quality, can’t recommend this brand enough!!
When I tell you I have never gotten more compliments in my life!!
I loved the attention and care Rapha helped me with my dress and what I wanted! The atelier is beautiful, the dress even more beautiful I can’t wait to get it!
