My experience at Be Unique Boutique was absolutely amazing. I needed to find a wedding dress while…read moreCOVID-19 restrictions were still in place. Erika, the owner, scheduled a private appointment for me, my maid of honor, my mom, and my mother in law. She took her time showing me over 6 dresses and with each dress, she took into account the feedback and opinions. She was certain that the last dress would be the one and she was right! We purchased my dress and veil on the spot. It was a lovely curated private experience that you won't get a large "wedding factory" store. Erika was always available via phone or email to answer any questions or provide updates in the months leading up to the dress's arrival. Once my dress arrived, she called me immediately to schedule my first fitting. I decided to get my fittings done at Be Unique Boutique because of the intimacy of the space and the 1:1 service. My fittings were as private as my dress appointment. I had a total of 4 fittings and everything came out beautifully. The seamstress, Florence, went above and beyond to make sure everything came out perfectly. She even added a second tier to my cathedral veil so that I could cover my face during the ceremony. On my last fitting, Florence educated me and my mother on how to manage my long train throughout the day and showed us how to fold it so that it can sit on my arm during travel. She showed us how to do my bustle and took her time going over it more than once so that we were clear on what had to be done. Erika even steamed the silk portion of my dress before we took it home. I highly recommend Be Unique Boutique for your bridal needs. Such a great and cute store with very knowledgeable professionals. I am so grateful to them and I can't wait to share photos of my wedding!

I found Rebecca Schoneveld on a whim, while trying to find wedding dress shops to visit in NYC…read more Rebecca had moved her shop out to Irvington, NY during the pandemic but the dresses peaked my interest enough that I decided to take a drive out of the city to check them out! Rebecca and her team are so amazing. I really can't believe how comfortable I felt immediately entering their shop. The experience was so intimate and special. I came by myself at first, not knowing what to expect. I had never thought about a wedding dress on me before so I didn't know what would work. To my surprise the silhouette that looked best on me was something I would have NEVER picked myself, but glad they picked it out for me and what would work best on my body. I left feeling so confident in myself and all my friends LOVED the dress I picked. I spent the next two weeks doing my due diligence trying to see what else was out there. NOTHING compared to this establishment. I felt so underwhelmed and unconfident in other stores dressing rooms (the lighting at Rebecca's is AMAZING!!). There's just something about Rebecca and her team that makes you feel like a movie star when you try on any dress. I'm telling you. When I came back with my mom to look at the dress again we began to think about different ways to try and make it special for me - changing the neckline and adding sequin. I'm ultimately getting my own custom gown for SUCH a reasonable rate. Yes, I'm actually writing a review BEFORE seeing my final dress, but I know it's going to look amazing and special because this shop is unmatched. I will update with the final product!

They have separated different top pieces of the dresses which allows you to completely customize and see what your dress could look like! I ended up going with the skirt of one dress and the top of another because of how great their selection of separate pieces is. ALSO the dress is so comfortable- easily able to sit and dance (and has pockets!!). Truly a dream to work with and nicest people!! I'll share photos of my dress and the process after my wedding

"After looking EVERYWHERE in my area for a stylish, yet appropriate mother-of-the-bride dress, I stumbled upon this lovely store online. After looking at all the lines they offer, I knew my dress was there! I immediately called for an appointment and made the 3 hour drive the very next day. I was greeted by Rafael and Suzanne who were amazing and very knowledgeable. I gave them my price cap and they were great about sticking to that. I tried on at least 12 dresses! More than any other store I had been to previously. I couldn't believe it.. after going to store after store and seeing the same old Mother of the Bride dresses and looking online at the major department stores, here I was looking at all these gorgeous dresses that I had never seen before. After I found THE dress, I wanted a particular color and neckline. They contacted the designer and got all the info I needed to seal the deal. Because of their expert measuring, all my dress needed was hemming. And the fee for alterations was very reasonable considering all the work the seamstress had to do. My daughter just got married and I felt so special in my dress. I could not be happier! Elephant's Trunk is now my go-to store for ANY future formal events I may have in the future. I wouldn't even bother going anywhere else. It's a 3 hour drive for me. Totally worth it. It is a MUST VISIT."

The owner said she will follow up on Monday. I go a call on Monday that the dress was NOT shipped yet from Italy. She asked me if I wanted to get an express shipping which I refused! She told me to come in on Wednesday morning to try the floor model and have it adjusted (that was on May 13!) As the zipper may be worn for a redux price. I had to go to another place.

Quick note: the name of the bridal shop on Yelp is incorrect. It's now Virginia's Bridal…read more I had a great bridal dress shopping experience at Virginia's Bridal. My mom, grandma, mother-in-law, and 2 bridemaids came with me to help find my dress and I'm happy to share that I said "Yes to the Dress". The overall experience was seamless from making my appointment on the phone with Virginia to the receiving a follow-up call and email to ensure that everything was ready for me ahead of my appointment from my Bridal Consultant Lou Lou, who is AMAZING! I was welcomed immediately and made to feel appreciated and taken care from the moment I entered the door. I live a few blocks away from the bridal shop and always walk by it on my way to City Centre so when I got engaged this summer, I obviously wanted to ensure that I had an appointment set up here, especially knowing that I always had seen beautiful dresses on display on their window. I also liked what I had seen on their website. I was treated like a princess and felt like one when trying on my dresses. There is a wide assortment of dresses and designers across price ranges as this place was a lot bigger than I thought once inside. From the start I had a Calla Blanche dress in mind and low and behold, the first dress I tried on and chose was a Calla Blanche, although different than the one I had seen online. I maybe tried on 8 dresses or so and Lou Lou helped me narrow down my options via process of elimination. I explained to her the style I was looking for, budget, and she made sure we had a great assortment of dresses to try on and have fun with. By the time it came to choosing my dress, I may have tried it on 3 times and loved it more each time. (Even got a bit emotional so I knew it was the one). Funny enough it wasn't even the style I thought I had in mind, which is why you must try these on! My family and friends were made to feel very comfortable and welcomed also which I appreciated. The space is comfortable and clean inside. There was one other bride also trying on dresses at the same time but she was on the other side of me and did not interfere with my experience so no concerns there. I had a lot of fun. I had a nice dressing room and Lou Lou there to help with each dress and the clips + got to see my dress at all stages of the day with the mirror that changes lighting. It was pretty neat. Lou Lou was the ultimate hype woman and got my family & friends engaged in the process too - she announced me each time, had the music going, it was fun. I had a feeling I would find my dress here and am happy to say that I did. The only thing that stings a bit is that I went wayyyyy over budget with the dress and the "looks". The dress itself was within budget but I was upsold on an additional piece that really did make the dress and look extra "WOW" but I maybe could have done without. I can also blame my family and friends for their reactions, they loved it. So I'm not too upset about it and am excited to walk down the aisle in it and hope my fiancé also goes "WOW" :). I can't wait to try on my dress in a few months. For those brides purchasing kindly note the sale price is final so be 100% sure and alteration price is not included. Thank you again Virginia Bridal Team and Lou Lou! I can't wait for May 2024! I definitely recommend for brides to be! Happy shopping!

As a curvier bride, I was definitely intimidated to start wedding dress shopping because of the sizing industry, but Denise and her team completely changed that for me. They were so welcoming, so kind, and honestly made the whole experience fun instead of stressful. When I went to try on dresses, I ended up finding my dream dress! Their selection is beautiful, thoughtfully curated, and not at all overwhelming. The boutique itself feels homey and personal, which made the experience even more special. From the very beginning, everyone I worked with went above and beyond. Cecile helped me find my dress, and Emmy guided me when I picked it up and chose my veil--they were both absolutely wonderful. Patient, kind, and genuinely excited for me, they made the process so smooth and enjoyable. I cannot recommend The Persnickety Bride enough to any bride--whether you're in Fairfield, New Haven, Putnam County, or even farther away, this is worth the trip. You simply won't find a better experience than this one!

A colleague had…read morerecommended her and since I was clueless about anything-wedding I decided it would be good choice. My dress had arrived late (I ordered from a different place) - 6 weeks before my wedding but Susan was able to fit me in her schedule and get started on alterations right away. My dress was strapless but I felt the need to have my shoulders covered in church and she was able to add sleeves made from tulle that were removable! These straps made my dress feel complete, and I was so happy to have something unique about my dress. My bustle was GORGEOUS she had included I believe 7 bustle buttons - and my very layered Cinderella-like dress stayed up in the bustle the ENTIRE night! (Ever been to a wedding where the bride holds her dress because the bustle fell?) My mother's dress arrived 3 weeks before the wedding (again, from a different shop) and Susan made sure she was able to fit my mom in as well. Turned out that the dress the other shop had ordered was way too small for my mom - and 5 days before the wedding my mom decided to can it. Mom couldn't even sit in the dress!! Luckily - Susan had a dress available in her shop that fit my mother perfectly!! She was able to make some small adjustments that night and 3 days before my wedding my mother FINALLY had a dress! I honestly do not know what we would have done if we hadn't gone to Susan for alterations. She is clearly knowledgeable about gown alterations - and creative! She was able to quickly find a solution to a huge problem for us. I am so grateful for this and I have been back to her shop many times since. I've had 2 other dresses for other weddings altered since and Susan hasn't let me down! I also love her shop, it's very cute and unique and she has a lot of great wedding purses and jewelry to shop for!

She is a perfectionist and I am so grateful for her hard work... more pictures to follow (at some point) I had always dreamed of wearing the white dress Grace Kelly wore in the Alfred Hitchcock movie To Catch a Thief. It was impossible to find and while there were very similar dresses out there they all missed the mark on 1 or 2 key design elements. Susan and I scoured the internet, we watched clips of the film to see how the dress moved. Looked at dozens of pictures to make sure we were getting the subtle details right. Not only did she do her research she found the dress she would use as the foundation and the material to make my dress at TJ Maxx and saved me hundreds of dollars. Susan absolutely nailed it. Thank you so much Susan Perrone for making my wedding dress and for being so wonderful. I want to give her 10 stars but they only allow 5.
