She taught me so much about different styles, fabrics, and silhouettes. She genuinely gave me so much time and attention to feel out maybe 12-15 dresses (pretty sure I exceeded my time gowns )! Not once was I pressured to make a decision. What struck me the most was that she was so intelligent about each dress in her inventory. She was a wizard at piecing together exactly what I was looking for and coming back to the fitting room with more options. I ended up finding my gown at another store, but I can't say goodbye to WE without a huge thank you. So, THANK YOU helped me get over the anxiety and actually enjoy dress shopping! CT brides- you're in for an affordable, attentive, and fun experience :)

I cannot recommend Julie Allen Bridals enough to anyone planning a wedding. They went above and…read morebeyond for me multiple times throughout the year I worked with them. We found that my mother needed to start chemotherapy immediately the week we were going to start dress shopping. We had one weekend to search for a dress before she started treatment during the pandemic and could no longer go out in public, and I refused to go dress shopping without my mom. Our first stop was Julie Allen Bridals. We reached out to them ahead of time and asked if we could have a photographer come and photograph us together in dresses while we shopped since she would be losing her hair, and we wanted to photograph her with her long locks. Not only did they agree to have a photographer come, but they offered to shoot the photos for us with one of their bridal consultants, Erica, who photographs her in her spare time. She refused to take any payment we offered. We found a fantastic dress at that first shop that had amazing sleeves I couldn't stop thinking about it the entire weekend while we kept looking and made the decision to move forward with Julie Allen. They were very accommodating about the alteration requests I had as I wanted to change some underskirt colors and vastly cut back the long train and worked with me every step of the way to get clarity and make sure the dress was exactly what I wanted. Yupa, my seamstress at Julie Allen was so warm and kind. She knew exactly what to do to alter the dress and add little additions here and there to make managing the dress easier. We did try adding some clear strips to the shoulders under the sheer fabric there to stop some redness where the dress rubbed, but it was far too distracting and reflective in the light. The owner herself, Melanie, spent the better part of an hour removing them herself! My mom is officially in remission a year later, and focusing on the wedding gave her something positive to look forward to as she fought. We are so glad we started our dress journey with Julie Allen Bridals, and they will always have a special place in our hearts as we reflect on our wedding planning experience. You won't get a better experience than here at Julie Allen Bridals. I'd come here again, but I'm not planning to get married again soon, so I'll have to recommend them to all my engaged friends instead. :)

Majesty carried the particular designers I was interested in, as well as had beautiful styles. Their site also confirmed that they carried dresses within my price range. The amazing reviews convinced me that I should definitely make an appointment to try on dresses. Upon arriving, I thought that the shop was a lot smaller based on the outside. It didn't stand out much. BUT when I walked inside, the shop was beautiful. It was much bigger and had so many gorgeous dresses in all kinds of styles. Morgana assisted me and was very nice to work with. She was patient, attentive and I appreciated the one on one attention I received with her. I loved coming out in each dress because there was a runway with a large mirror. It really made the experience special. The shop only had one other customer inside, so I didn't feel rushed or over crowded. Morgana did not pressure me and explained the options I had. Most of their dresses could be altered to add sleeves. I would absolutely recommend Majesty to any bride. The experience was amazing and there were so many options. The space was also really beautiful.

Mary agreed to see me starting about 3.5 months out from my wedding date, and we determined that she would need to reverse nearly all of the previous alterations and start from scratch. I had around 5 fittings with Mary over the course of this process, and she worked miracles on my silk chiffon gown which was stretched, warped and even torn in some places from the previous set of alterations. She fit the dress perfectly to my body and never made me feel insecure. And to top it all off, she charged us HALF what I was expecting for the amount of time she'd put into it. I can't recommend her enough for bridal alterations!

I ended up picking a gown elsewhere but I wouldn't have hesitated to buy one here, great options. I also like that they put the prices on the gowns so you know when your shopping. Love it here!

BEWARE! DO NOT USE! My fiancée had to get a bridesmaid's dress for an upcoming wedding. First red…read moreflag was that they DO NOT ship so we had to drive an hour and a half each way each time we went. When we picked up the dress they had ordered a dress two sizes too big and do not do alterations (second red flag). You would think if you are paying $200+ for a dress they would at least try to accommodate and get a size that was close. Now because of how big the dress is we had to spend an additional $200 for the dress to be altered. So in total a bridesmaid dress is costing $400 for 1 day. Save your time and money and use an online site like Azazie so your bridesmaids aren't spending an arm and a leg for a dress they'll only wear once in their lifetime.
