Anyone that has at least a budget of $2k for their dress, should absolutely come here. Owner Kim and daughter, Laura are SO personable and SO SO good at their job. They knew what looked good on me, knew what questions to ask, and made sure I did not feel pressured. It is appointment only and they only book one appointment at a time so you have the entire place for you and your squad. Thank you so much! I am still riding the high of how beautiful I looked in your dresses today.

Truly an amazing experience from my first email inquiry to the day I picked up my dress!…read more I had been researching different bridal boutiques and shops around me and had been extremely overwhelmed until a coworker of mine recommended Sparks. I had been looking online at dress styles I was interested in and had emailed the company to see if they had one in stock. Kim, the owner, emailed me back letting me know they didn't carry that designer but they had very similar dresses in the shop. Using their online scheduling system, I scheduled my first bridal appointment. The boutique has ample parking and was pretty easy to find. Upon entering, I was greeted by Jenn who helped get an understanding of what dress style I was interested in. I was told to pick a handful of dresses and styles that I wanted to try on and she grabbed each one and placed them in a dressing room for me. I had the entire boutique to myself and had such an amazing one on one experience! She helped me get into each dress and we narrowed it down to two dresses. A big reason why I decided to come here was because i read reviews for other boutiques that try to pressure the customer into buying something and Sparks Bridal was different. I never once felt pressured to buy anything. They understood that I was just looking to see what my options were and to get a feel for what my style was. I was also able and encouraged to take photos of myself in the dresses to refer back on (there are other shops that don't allow photos) I was able to schedule another appointment and bring other family members to help make a decision Kim and Jenn were incredibly helpful with this process! & pickup was an absolute breeze! They supplied me with the business card of an alteration company they use and i'll be giving her a call in a few months! Highly recommend!

She sent us home with both sizes so that we could be sure that he was both handsome and comfortable - no extra charge. The owner went above and beyond! She was friendly and helpful. We were able to make appointments at convenient times. I thought the price of a tux rental would be outrageous but it was actually less costly than buying my sons a pair of appropriate dress slacks and a shirt for the occasion, especially considering that they'd probably just outgrow those before wearing them again. Great service, great selection, and great price! My only regret is that I irresponsibly took months to write this review. The shop owner deserved better for all that she did for us! I would highly recommend Simply Dainty!

Helene is absolutely wonderful from the first day I came into her shop shopping for my wedding dress up until the day I picked it up she worked with me every step of the way. Payment plans were never an issue I was able to afford my dream dress without having to worry about paying for it. Helene is so friendly and helpful anyone who gets their wedding dress in her shop will be absolutely pleased.

Shop here brides you'll be very pleased!

In the great-search-for-the-"perfect"-wedding-dress (oy), I've visited 7 bridal salons over the…read moresummer. I found Helene's online after searching for designers that I liked and made an appointment in advance with Anna. The day of, there was a mix-up between my appointment and a bride who had come in and they apologized profusely again and again for it. (Apparently people think brides are always thisclose to acting like Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters after she's taken over by Zuul). No biggie - my mother-in law and I waited for while until they finished up. I told Anna my budget, showed her the pictures she asked me to bring and she started pulling dresses out. I must have tried on at least a dozen dresses and found 2 that I liked, 1 that I loved. She helped me into each dress and took the time to pull, pinch and zip everything so that it fit as best it could. She pulled one or two dresses over my price point (but very slightly over) and told me before I tried any of them on that they were over my budget, but did I still want to try them. I appreciated this a lot because some salons a) don't ask your budget and b) will pull a dress out that is beautiful on you, until you see that the price tag is 3x what you want to pay. The salon is somewhat on the smaller side, though the room where you try on the dresses is bigger - if you are the only one in there at the time. I was able to go on a Tuesday morning and we had the place to ourselves. The dresses are lovely and the service was great, but the one thing that irks me about Helene's is that they don't allow you to take pictures of you in the dress. My mom/sister/50% of my bridesmaids live out of state and I wanted to be able to text them photos of the dresses. It might not be a huge deal for most people, but to me it was somewhat of a deal breaker. (Also, I don't get why some stores don't allow this. I will use my Nancy Drew slueth-ing skills when your back is turned to figure out the dress designer + price tag and then Google it. Age of the Internet, homies.) Overall, I enjoyed my experience there (sans the picture thing) and really appreciated the customer service and quality of dresses at Helene's. Definitely worth a visit on your dress tour!

I do not recommend this place. Although the owner is super nice, I would not revisit this store for…read moreany occasion. Back in maybe February or march, we ordered our dresses, we were told end of June arrival. She took our measurements at that time as well. Kept calling, she DOES NOT pick up the phone. I had to go up there, and then kept getting mixed answers as to why the dresses were not in. Fast forward, dresses came in a week before the wedding, you have to pay CASH for the dress, if there is a balance, before they will do alterations, which are only done Monday and Tuesday, which was not told to us. My dress did not fit, even though she took my measurements, like didn't even zip up any. She charged me $150 extra to make it bigger although that was definitely her fault. Additionally, there were mixed prices regarding steaming some paid nothing, others paid $25, etc.

Currently, there is also a room dedicated to mother of the bride and bridesmaid dresses, but according to Deb, they are clearing out that inventory and will soon be 100% bridal. In the meantime, there are 75% off sales to be had!

I felt like I was going to have to settle, but Donna made me feel like princess. I came in with no one with me and Donna found the dress I fell in love with.

When I was back in the dressing room she still put no pressure on my to buy and said that if I needed time to think about it, I could come back in to try it on any time. I did actually buy my dress that day, but only because I wanted to. If you want a low pressure experience with no sales pitches, come here. The prices are very reasonable and their alterations are very good for the price! If you want to feel utterly special and thoroughly beautiful, come here.

I visited Stefania's Boutique In Cranston, Rhode Island after traveling from central,…read moreMassachusetts. I had heard and seen such great reviews, and decided to check it out for myself. I entered the doors and was overwhelmed by the amount of dresses. I really had no idea of what I wanted. I was told by the stunning and friendly salesperson - I assume it was Stefania because she was behind the register- that there were a lot more dresses upstairs. To say that I surprised by the amount of dresses and every color of the rainbow available would be an understatement. I didn't even know where to start looking. However, the women s upstairs were very helpful and knowledgeable pointing me in the right direction and room to begin, and were there for every step of my experience. There is literally something for everyone. I had a specific question, and the women working there answered it immediately. They know their inventory of thousands of dresses, and if they don't, Stefania is always there to help. This dress shop was perfect for the event for which it was intended. I was able to try on several dresses and come out and stand on a pedestal in order to see the dress from every angle. It's also a one-stop-shop - they have shoes and accessories, matching bow ties, and alterations are done on the premises. It was well worth the short drive from Massachusetts, and I highly recommend this Boutique for your special event. I strongly either shop at Stefania's Boutique ONLY, or make it your last stop on your list.
