I fell in love with not one dress, but two. The dresses are beautiful, and the selection feels endless! The owner is very helpful! I wanted my dress to be different and fit my personality. The owner understood my vision and gave me multiple options on how to customize my dresses! She really devotes all her attention to you, giving you the "wedding experience" you see on TV! I also bought my bridesmaid dresses, veil, jewelry, and headpiece here. This boutique has all you need for your wedding day! Having a one-stop shop really saved me time! Overall AWESOME customer service and great selections! Not to mention you can find the dress (or two) of your dreams without breaking the bank! I would highly recommend this bridal boutique!

Huge thank you to the @Wedding Dress CT LLC (Portland, CT) team--especially Abbie!…read more From the easy online appointment scheduling to the moment we ordered the dress, the entire experience was absolutely amazing. Abbie truly went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. She was engaging and her team made the appointment fun and exciting! Most importantly, they really listened to Veronica's likes and dislikes when pulling additional dresses for her to try. The experience was thoughtful, personal, and completely stress‑free. We are so grateful for such a wonderful, memorable day that ultimately led Veronica to excitedly say "YES to the Dress!" ‍ Thank you again to Abbie and the entire @Wedding Dress CT LLC team. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience and would highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a low‑pressure, engaging, and truly special wedding dress search.

Where do I begin. I started my shopping for my wedding dress at a consignment shop that was highly…read morerecommended to myself and other brides on a Facebook group that I am part of. Because my then fiance and I were on a strict budget for our wedding, I figured I could find something "good enough" at a second hand store, or a consignment shop and stay well below my budget. Well that was a disaster! That shop made me feel underappreciated and less than beautiful! Two things that I thought a bride was supposed to experience with dress shopping. I left that shop and knew I had another appointment to go to at The Wedding Dress in Portland. I went to lunch with my neice, had a cocktail in hopes that it would ease my mind - it didn't. I felt disgusting. We arrived at The Wedding Dress and sat in the parking lot for an hour before the appointment. I almost drove away a few times just because I was so disheartened. Boy am I glad I didn't!!! I walked into the shop at my appointment time and the first few thing I remember were the smell, it was so clean and fresh and relaxing (not moth balls and misty!), the brightness of the dresses (and there was A LOT of dresses), and the sound of three voices greeting me with excitement and happiness! Those three voices turned out to be Shelley, Abbie and Lisa. I almost wanted to cry. I explained to the three ladies how my past experience was and they told me "That is not how it is supposed to be! We got this! You pick out some dresses you want to try on and we'll take it from there!" They made me feel appreciated. They made me feel beautiful. They made me feel so important. It was an amazing experience! The dress I chose was a Justin Alexander dress, which was ironic because the original dress I wanted was his design as well but totally different (lace actually). The dress was strapless and I needed straps to be designed and put on and the seamstress that works with The Wedding Dress, Dora, was AMAZING! After ordering the dress and when the dress came in, my experience just blossomed more with the ladies! I really can't sing their praises enough! I am not a skinny size 4 kind of bride. So I was discouraged to start with but not once when I tried on dresses did I ever feel that I was overweight or not beautiful! Abbie, Shelley and Lisa know how to make you feel absolutely stunning and help you every step of the way! I couldn't be happier with my experience and will stop in to visit the ladies from time to time! Highly recommend this little shop in Portland that makes you feel like a million bucks from the moment you step in it till the moment you leave with your gown!

I was looking for very specific styles and was pleasantly surprised they had a decent selection for me to try on. Also learned they have a great deal for brides, on your first visit you, if you say yes to the dress, you get $100 off, a free garment bag, a free garter 20% off any bridal accessories and $50 off alterations ! The women who work here are Polish so I know they are handy with the needle come time for alterations please they were helpful in being real with me what looks good on my body. Awesome find in Berlin!

It was so many people pushing around, nobody paying attention to you ,trying to find a mirror . That was not how I imagined. I wasn't sure I was going to find a dress however I made an appointment at bridal bells for the following weekend. It is a small boutique with one person shopping at a time and all the attention is on you. We discussed what I was looking for and she provided all the options she had in the store. In the dressing room I got to stand on a small stage with all the mirrors on me. She was helpful and answer all my questions as well as made me feel beautiful and special. I would recommend going to bridal bells to shop for your wedding dress e specially if you are plus size . She had a lot of options . Thank you !

I truly wish I could write a more positive review on Sophia Boutique. Unfortunately, the owners…read moreoverpromised and did not deliver. When selecting my gown, the owners both advertised the ability to add lace to the bottom of the gown - saying that they would source the lace and stitch it on. That was the only reason I said yes to that gown - because of the vision that Mina had provided on what the gown could look like. Between March and September, they did not source the lace, requiring me to source it myself. Additionally, they were not communicative or responsive throughout the process. Based on these issues, I informed Mina I was obtaining a new seamstress and wanted to pick up my gown - she advised she had not done the alterations, and that it would be ready for pickup. When I picked it up, she had completed alterations with haste so they were not done nearly to the degree of proficiency that they should have been - if I wasn't planning to take the dress, she would have had to completely redu them. She also wanted to charge me a ridiculous amount of money for completing alterations that I did not ask her to do. The shop does have gorgeous dresses at a fair price, but it's not worth the stress that comes with an unreliable seamstress.

Whoever she talked to made several comments about her weight/dress that were very unsettling. She was advised to go to to lose 10lbs 2 days before our wedding.... Essentially she was pressured into spending money on alterations that were fear mongered. A bride should be made to feel at ease and comfortable especially during a crunch time. Just because you don't buy a dress at that shop doesn't mean they should make you feel terrible for it. Especially for people who live out of state. Really disappointing experience that caused a ton of stress.

I had a very disappointing experience here and would strongly encourage anyone getting married to…read morelook elsewhere for their dress. When the appointment started my consultant asked the usual questions, but it went downhill fast. After explaining what I did/didn't like, she pulled several dresses to start and we narrowed down what the next round of dresses should/shouldn't have. She then continually pulled styles that were very similar to the ones I said I didn't like. When we asked if there were other options in the store that matched what I was looking for, I was told there was "nothing else," which felt dismissive. At that point when my consultant said there was nothing else in the store, I'd tried on 5 dresses. For a store that promotes itself as size-inclusive, I was really uncomfortable with how I was treated. I was repeatedly squeezed into dresses that didn't fit properly, to the point where I could barely breathe in some due to improper clipping/zipping. At one point, the clips in the back popped open and the metal snapped against my back, which was both painful and embarrassing. There was one dress I liked but didn't love, and instead of continuing to explore other options the consultant kept pushing me to purchase it. She focused on how it could be customized, even though the things I didn't like weren't minor fixed... they were fundamental elements of the dress. Throughout the appointment, she kept checking her phone and commenting on the time, which made the experience feel rushed and uncomfortable. To top it off, I had clearly stated my budget, yet she pulled a dress that was nearly $1,000 over. Her response was a casual "haha whoops," which felt unprofessional and dismissive. Overall, I felt rushed and uncomfortable. Definitely not what you hope for when shopping for something as big as your wedding dress. In good conscience I cannot recommend this bridal salon

SEVEN MONTHS LATER (the dress came in a month late) I picked it up, paid the balance, and brought it to my seamstress. (Lastrina does not do alterations, nor are they included in the price). When I tried the dress on again that same day I picked it up, I realized the fabric label said "100% polyester". I contacted the owner of the bridal salon immediately, and she said there was nothing she could do. The owner told me that her salesperson NEVER would have told me it was silk. I told the owner that polyester makes me itchy and she responded saying that "the majority of your wardrobe consists of polyester." She also said that because the dress is a high quality polyester I "don't have anything to worry about." (I'd like to make it known that I do not know this woman and she does not know me.)
