Best of Boston

There’s a reason brides call Malinda Macari “the wedding-gown whisperer.” During her two-hour tête-à-têtes with clients in her intimate Sudbury boutique, the dress doyenne taps into her deep knowledge of bridal fashion to steer customers toward just the right frock in her handpicked collection — replete with sustainably made gowns from leading ateliers around the globe. Designs by Sassi Holford, Lea-Ann Belter, and Jesus Peiro (among others) all have a place here — and Macari knows them inside and out.
