If I could give this review five more stars, I absolutely would! The Persnickety Bride has been a dream from start to finish. 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! read more

My dress 100% the most perfect and beautiful article of clothing I will ever own. When originally starting the search, it was very overwhelming to try to figure out what type of dress I would want. We had only gone to one other bridal salon before going to the Persnickety Bride... and it was not a great experience to say the least. But the Persnickety Bride was completely different! Aeryn, Denise's daughter, helped us and she was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and really knows how to hype you up! She actually was the one who picked out the wedding. She recommended it to me when I first got to the store... and I knew it was the one pretty early on. But all of the dresses she tried on were gorgeous! This dress is so unique and so delicately put together. We have never seen anything like it before :) My husband and guests were also was blown away the day of the wedding!!! Thank you so much to both Aeryn and Denise for helping me find my dream dress :) So excited for your new and larger location... We have already recommended your shop a bunch to people and will continue to do so! Thank you :) read more

Very nice selection of gowns to choose from. We enjoyed the little boutique feel, having the full attention of the owner. The overall experience was great! read more

I felt like family! Look no further than The Persnickety Bride ladies! Denise and her team are top notch... Denise is spunky, fun, and loving; I felt like family from the moment I walked in the door. Both of my dress experiences were seamless in the salon. Yes, I said BOTH. I bought a dress (which I loved and thought was beautiful) but second guessed it for a solid two weeks after purchasing. Eventually, I told myself this is a common bride feeling and it will pass. Fast forward two months and I am sitting at my friends wedding.... she walks down the aisle in the same beautiful dress I recently purchased. I knew this was my sign, the dress was not meant to be mine. I reached out to Denise (in a panic) and explained the situation.. I ended up in the salon three days later in another dress I loved. Which I now know today was meant for me. Denise made me feel confident, beautiful and reduced my stress level significantly. We ended up making tik tok's and laughing for two hours after I bought the second dress. Denise worked with the manufacturer for me so there was no crazy additional costs to restock the first dress (it hadn't shipped yet). The Persnickety Bride has such a magical selection of dresses, there is something for everyone. Not only will you most likely walk out of the store purchasing a gown, I promise you will leave with many laughs and memories for life. I can not recommend The Persnickety Bride Team and Denise enough. Love you guys! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Forever a Persnickety bride! read more

What a wonderful Gem of a place. Denise the owner, was enthusiastic, patient, knowledgeable & delightful! An enormous amount to choose from in this small tucked away shop, making bridal dreams come true. Not only did my daughter find her perfect dress. But Denise was fun to work with. Thank you!!! read more

The Persnickety Bride - Wedding Planning Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

Horrific service!!!! Stay away!! Made a huge mistake in measuring and would NOT ADMIT IT. The most horrendous experience. Go elsewhere where they care about a bride's feelings and won't insult you!!! They lie and change their story constantly to cover THEIR mistake. Not a good feeling bridal store at all!!! The owner Denise is lying in her response!! read more

I had an incredible time at my appointment at the Persnickety Bride and was thrilled with the experience! The level of personal attention, flexibility, and positive energy during my appointment was remarkable. I started my dress-shopping experience with some anxiety, but I was immediately put at ease by Denise and the team. I felt empowered and beautiful every step of the way, and left the shop feeling like I'd spent the afternoon at a friend's house. I would recommend this shop team hesitation to anyone looking for their dream dress! I know my mom has already said that she'd love to return to find her dress for the day! read more

Denise was very helpful in choosing my gown. I ended up going to this store first, and wanted to see what else was out there but Denise told me I would be back and she was right! She was the most helpful in getting me in/out of dresses quickly and picking gowns in the style I liked. Would recommend for future brides for sure!!! read more

I cannot say enough on how much I would recommend The Persnickety Bride shop ! I am a mother of 2 daughters that are getting married this year. Denise , Emily and Aeryn are beyond wonderful. The minute we walked into the shop we felt it to be so comfortable and inviting. Denise worked with both of my daughters and listened to what type of dress they were both looking for. Both of my daughters look Stunning and we cannot wait for their Big Day! Of Course I also did get my mother of the bride dress at Persnickety Bride and I feel beautiful wearing it! So if you are thinking on where to go for your beautiful bride to be definitly place your trust in Persnickety Bride ! read more

I was able to find my dream wedding dress at Persnickety Bride, and I could not be happier! Denise was a joy to work with - as an indecisive bride, she was very gracious and let me try on a whole range of dresses from different designers and different styles (the selection was great!). The whole appointment was fun and no stress! I ended up completely falling in love with a gorgeous dress by Dany Tabet. It made me feel like a princess on my wedding day! I would highly recommend becoming a Persnickety Bride. read more

Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. It is a small shop (in size, but not dress stock!!) so you get a really personal boutique experience. Their price ranges were very reasonable for my budget and, very importantly for me, the experience was fun, positive, encouraging and NO pressure or hard sales tactics. I knew going in I was going to sleep on the decision regardless and ended up going back another day to make the purchase. They are a dream to work with and helped me make a custom change to my dress that turned out beautifully. They made sure my request was super clearly documented for the designer. Highly recommend putting this shop on your list when you're looking for a dress read more

The second I met Denise I told my daughter "she's the one you're buying your dress from!" She is simply the most consummate professional in buying wedding dresses I have ever met! I'm so glad my daughter was in such good and loving hands. read more

5+++ stars! Denise made the experience so memorable, something I will never forget. I couldn't appreciate her more. She was patient, kind, and truly did care about what I was saying/feeling. Her dress selection is beautiful and unique. You must go see her you won't regret it! read more

Outstanding experience at the Persnickety Bride! I purchased my mother-of-the-bride dress there. They had many, many selections to choose from and really worked with me on finding what was right for myself. Their dresses are clearly high quality dresses and every one of them is simply stunning! Emily was absolutely a pleasure to work with. She made you feel very comfortable from the start and gave her honest opinion for each dress tried on. Denise is simply beyond words.....her knowledge regarding each dress and the correct way it should fit is impressive. Her honesty is a credit as you never feel the pressure to simply buy the dress. She, as well, makes you feel very comfortable from the moment you enter her shop. Most importantly, both Emily and Denise listen to what your concerns are and what you are looking for and do their absolute best to accomodate you! Five Stars! read more

Went to Persnickety Bride as my first dress shop to try on gowns. I was interested in a specific Justin Alexander Dress and Denise was helpful in ordering a sample and getting it in the store. We had not been able to get any other salon to help us with this, so we were thrilled. I scheduled my appointment the same weekend as the Justin Alexander trunk show. We drove over 3 hours to get to Persnickety and when we arrived the store was an absolute disaster. There were previously tried on dresses strewn about all over the floor, upside down, in the dressing rooms, there was trash and cardboard in the middle of the floor. The consultant needed to pick up a pile of dresses so we could even have a place to sit. I wish I had taken pictures but we were so shocked that I think we just simply did not think to. Unfortunately, the dress we had requested was still in the box, so it needed to be unpacked, and when it was, it was the wrong version of the dress. This is not entirely the shops fault as there were no others in stock, but I wished we had been told that they would not be able to get the exact dress I was looking for. When I expressed disappointment in the situation, I was met with really rude responses and a defensive tone, that made me immediately uncomfortable and wanting to leave. Can't believe we wasted 6 hours roundtrip! I am someone who can chalk things up to people having a bad day, or things just not being meant to be, but the overall experience was so bad that we could just not figure out how this shop had such positive reviews online! read more

Before coming to Persnickety Bride, I went to several other places to find the dress and wasn't finding the one! When I walked into Persnickety, Denise was extremely friendly and made me feel like a special bride. As I tried variety of dresses on, I was finding out that maybe the dress that I had vision wasn't going to be my dress. Denise had a dress hiding behind a bunch of dresses which I kept eyeing. I finally tried it on and immediately started tearing up. Denise was the absolute sweetest and was tearing up as well. I had finally found my dress!!!! I strongly recommend going to Persnickety Bride. read more

I couldn't be happier with my bridal experience at Persnickety! Denise and her team held multiple appts for me and my family in their salon. Denise was patient as I tried on different styles of gowns and helped me narrow down what I felt the most beautiful and confident in. Throughout the process I truly appreciated Denise's suggestions and her honesty as I tried to figure out the style and silhouette that I wanted. What I also loved about my Persnickety process is that these ladies also helped me pick out my bridal accessories that matched best with my gown - I picked out my veil and hair jewelry here as well! Highly recommend checking out The Persnickety Bride not only due to their wide collection of gowns, but the help and support you receive here is unmatched elsewhere!! Thank you Persnickety (: read more

Denise and her staff run a fabulous little boutique dress shop in Connecticut. The experience was everything I could have hoped for. She had a beautiful selection of dresses and did a great job helping me figure out exactly what I was looking for. Once I said 'Yes,' she had champagne waiting and a little gift bag as well. I would highly recommend Persnickety Bride if you're looking for a intimate and individualistic shopping experience! read more

Denise and team truly made my wedding dress experience a grand success!!! Denise was so kind and warm which was such a relief, I had never tried on dresses in my life so I was definitely a little nervous. She was so much fun, had a great sense of humor and was so patient. She made the entire experience such a delight and so much fun. I really couldn't have asked for a better day to share with my friends and family. I ended up buying my dress the same day which was so exciting. 100000/10 for The Persnickety Bride! read more

Denise, the owner, is truly one of a kind!! Her and her gorgeous assistant, Kirsten, could not have made my experience a better one! They truly cared about helping me find the dress I looked my best in! I HIGHLY recommend them! They made it so fun and memorable for me! I can't thank them enough! Denise is a crazy, energetic ball of fire!! She makes you feel like you've known her forever!! I'm SOOOO happy I stumbled upon this place!!! GO GO GO check them out!!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!! read more

Love, Love, Love the Basix evening gown that I purchased from Denise and her team. I have been searching online for this dress for almost a year, and when I saw it come up in response to my search inquiry, I was super excited! Being that I am in Georgia, and the dress boutique is located in CT, I was a little apprehensive about making such a big purchase. I sent Denise and her team an email and voicemail Sunday afternoon and first thing Monday morning, Denise returned my call and provided ALL the details and information I could ever request. In addition, she texted me live photos of the dress. I also looked around the website and read other reviews, which were all glowing. The ordering process was easily conducted via phone and my dress arrived in less than 2-days! Denise was very engaging from start to finish, and her assistant in the shop that handled the purchase was equally engaging and pleasant. Even though I was not in person, I felt that I had the same personalized service she would give her in-person clients. In sum, I highly recommend purchasing if you are hesitant about making an online/out of state purchase from The Persnickety Bride! It will be a great investment and smooth out of state/online purchase. read more

Denise is a miracle-worker. I don't even know where to start- she is passionate, energetic, and works tirelessly for her brides. I was completely overwhelmed with the thought of looking at a wedding gown- Denise took all of that away and actually made it fun (and super-easy..which is what I wanted.) She helped me articulate exactly what I wanted- a classic, silk ballgown. The Persnickety Bride is a small shop- with tons of dresses. During both visits, I was the only bride in the store. It made the entire experience so intimate and special. 2 visits and a total of 7 dresses tried on, and I found my dress! A dress that I'm so, very excited about and feel 100% comfortable in. I think it's important to mention that Denise was so respectful of my budget. Every dress I tried on was BELOW budget- which is so important. If you are looking for a wedding gown, Persnickety Bride is the place to go. read more

I'm back home for the holidays from San Francisco and I thought I was going to pop into The Persnickety Bride, try on a few dresses and leave with an idea of what style and shape dress I would want to look for moving forward. Little did I know I would fall in love with not one but two dresses! Denis is AMAZING, she made looking for a dress fun, easy and stressless. Ahead of my appointment Denis called me so that we could FaceTime and get to know each other a little better. She wanted to know my story and see my face without a mask. (The Persnickety Bride is taking all of the proper precautions when it comes to dealing with covid 19.) I left my appointment totally torn but not once did I ever feel pressured to make a decision or purchase stress from the staff. After going back and forth between the dresses all night and consulting all of my closest friends I was still torn. I woke up the next morning with a little clarity when I received a text from Denis offering me another appointment that day if I wanted to come in and retry the dresses on. I was so happy to hear from her. I went back in, tried on the two dresses and said YES to the dress! Every single dress at The Persnickety Bride is stunning, of the highest quality and amazing on the wallet. Don't walk RUN to The Persnickety Bride if you want to find the perfect dress in an intimate stress free environment. I never thought finding the dress was going to be this easy. Thank you Denise for your amazing energy, thoughtfulness and love! What an unforgettable experience. read more

I am sad to say I had such a bad experience here. Looking online seeing that this had such high rating, I thought it would be a good place to start. Little did I know, that was so wrong. I found online they were having a trunk sale and thought it would be a perfect time to come in. As I started trying dresses on, Denise came off as rude to start, especially to my family that I had come with me. She complained about being there too much and was very pushy to me buying a dress that first day. I hadn't even had the full dress shopping experience yet and she just wanted her money. Being a Covid bride, it has been a hard road and to start my dress shopping like this was heart breaking. As a bride, you should want to come in feeling amazing and wanting to buy the dress of your dreams, and Denise made me feel the complete opposite. Despite the rudeness, my first visit I fell in love with a dress but wanted to make sure I didn't jump the gun on such an expensive dress so I wanted to take the night to sleep on it and decide. Denise had offered a $100 off discount but made it very clear that if I came back that week that I could also get that $100 off. I had asked multiple times before leaving as well and she agreed to it. About two days later I came back in to try a couple more dresses on and she was very dismissive to any questions we had asked. She wasn't attentive to us and made me feel like a burden being there. I did not feel like a priority at all. Not only that but she also retracted her statement about the discount and said "she doesn't do discounts". I ended up leaving after 15 minutes because I was BOILING for multiple reasons. I can't even fathom that the owner of this place would even treat a bride that way. The dresses were beautiful, but the customer service was absolutely terrible and for that reason I did not buy a dress from here. I will not be recommending this place to anyone. read more

I could not be more grateful for Denise!! She made the experience of finally finding my wedding dress a total joy! Denise radiates love, warmth, and humor. She squeezed me in on a busy Saturday morning as I was only in town for a few days, chatted with me on the phone about the vibe I was going for, and had pulled all the dresses I'd favorited online beforehand. We had been to a handful of other shops by the time we visited The Persnickety Bride -- and nothing compared to it. Denise helped me find a dress that I absolutely love (which I wasn't expecting at that point) that was in my budget. Denise went above and beyond and I can't sing her praises enough!!! read more

Denise at the Persnickety Bride is an absolute GEM! She is bubbly, she is vivacious, and she is passionate about finding you the best gown to fit your figure and personality. I tried on about 10 gowns and then found The Dress, and she was as excited as my Mom and I when we found it. The shop feels intimate and we were the only people in the shop for our appointment. Additionally, I wanted to try and find the same lace from my dress to make my veil and Denise and her assistant Emily followed up multiple times with the vendor to source these and get pricing for different options. I didn't end up going that route for my veil but I really appreciated their prompt responses and help following up. I'd highly recommend Denise and her beautiful store if you're looking for a personal and relaxed experience shopping for your gown. I also wanted to thank Denise for her approach and body positivity vibes! I was anxious about finding a dress that would feel like "me" and that I wouldn't feel self conscious in, and honey let me tell you, Denise is 1000% supportive and positive for you. I really appreciated that and she made the appointment so fun. Thank you Denise!! read more

Came here a few months ago and I didn't find a dress. But the service provided to me by a girl around my age was outstanding. I have gone to a lot of bridal shops since then, but they don't even compare. She made me feel comfortable, took time going through the entire store with me, TIGHTLY clipped the dresses on, and went through the extra effort to lay the dresses on the ground so I can easily step into them - which no one has ever done. Would rate ten stars if I could! read more

Denise and her staff are incredible! So warm and friendly and full of spunk! They will help you find the perfect bridal gown, mother of the bride gown and flower girl dress! Simply amazing experience!! I highly recommend them! read more

Where do I even begin? I was never the girl who grew up dreaming about her wedding and was more of a reluctant bride when it came to dress shopping. I was actually dreading it, and had some terrible experiences, UNTIL I walked into the Persnickety Bride. That place is magic! The store itself is like walking into a fairytale. So beautifully decorated. It's hard not to feel transformed and special in there. The staff is above top notch. Really listening to your wants and needs AND delivering on them. I not only purchased my exquisite dress and veil there but also jewelry, am doing my wedding invitations there (they look amazing!), bridal party gifts, and welcome bags for overnight guests. The Persnickety Bride is truly one-stop shopping! Run, do not walk, there for all your bridal needs! read more

Denise is absolutely amazing! I don't even know where to start- she is passionate, energetic, and works tirelessly for her brides. Denise made the whole process super easy which was especially important to me since I did not know what I wanted. She quickly understood my style and was able to help me narrow my search out of all the beautiful gowns in her small shop. During both visits, my mom and I were the only ones in the store so it made the entire experience so intimate and special. After going to 5 other stores in CT I can confidently say if you are looking for a wedding gown, Persnickety Bride is the place to go. read more

Denise is AMAZING!! She made my mom, sisters and I laughing and enjoying every minute of our time with her! She knows her dresses so well and was able to pick out exactly what she knew would look good on me! I feel so lucky to have found her and had such a great experience!! I highly recommend!! I'm so excited and can't wait to see my dress again! I am planning on returning for my invitations! Denise was a pleasure to work with! read more

Denise was absolutely amazing, and her staff was so attentive and helpful! They made picking out a dress easy, fun and enjoyable. They treated myself and my family absolutely wonderful and made the process so personal. I really felt like the most important part of their day, and have no hesitation referring any other brides to them. You can't go wrong! So happy I found them and got my wedding dress from them. Thank you Denise and girls!! read more

My review is long, so if you don't read it all, at least you'll see my note above that Denise and Persnickety is the way to go, but for more detail, read on. Before I get into exactly how and why Denise (as well as the rest of the staff at Persnickety) is so wonderful, let me say that I am a perfectionist, and therefore, I sometimes have difficulty finding service that meets my expectations. That said, Denise has gone MORE THAN ABOVE AND BEYOND what I could have expected in multiple areas! I found Persnickety while at one of those bridal expos. Before that, I was having the hardest time finding someone to make beautiful invitations for mine and my finance's wedding. Everyone told me that "nobody makes invitations in person anymore because everything is done online." Well, I wasn't happy about this because whenever I tried to make my invitations online, I either had to adjust the wording/format that I wanted to have a design I liked, or I had to have a design I hated in order to have the wording/format I liked. In other words, I could only pick one aspect I wanted; I couldn't have both. Therefore, when I saw Persnickety's table at the expo, I was SO RELIEVED! I had never seen so many huge binders filled with examples of people's wedding invitations! Plus, they were all different (which meant that I'd be able to customize my invitation--no more templates!)! I immediately booked an appointment. Oh, and I was also drawn to all of the gorgeous combs, clips, and accessories that were at the table, so I figured I'd check those out during my appointment with Denise, too. My first appointment was to discuss exactly what I wanted our wedding invitations to look like; right away I could tell that Denise knew her stuff! She had so many binders full of samples, and it did not take her long to help me nail down the kind of paper, colors, fonts, and style that we wanted. While Denise was quick to understand my wants, she took her time to listen and to get to know my fiancé and me (as well as my future mother-in-law and her cousin who also went with to the appointment). Our first appointment lasted about an hour and a half, and I can honestly say that we got more done in that time than I had in the month before the appointment as I tried to work on invitations on my own. We designed our invitations, response cards, separate rehearsal cards, and another party invitation. Not only did I get my invitations done with Persnickety, but I also purchased my veil and hair clip from the shop. I had no doubts that I'd find a hair accessory because there were so many beautiful options, but I had no idea that I'd find the veil that was perfect for me. I'd had a lot of trouble finding one at bridal chain stores and other chic boutiques, but right away Denise and one of her staff members pulled out several veils and helped me find the best one! They scrutinized photos of my dress and made several suggestions, and wouldn't you know, they found something that I love. The one I wanted didn't have a blusher, but Denise had one added to it, and it looks awesome! Oh, and the price was right, too, which was great since I, like many other brides, was not looking forward to spending hundreds of dollars on a piece of tule that I'd wear for a couple of hours. It's important to note that we've had about 4 appointments with Denise so far, and between each one, Denise has been excellent when it comes to communicating. If I send her questions via email, she responds quickly. I also appreciate that if she isn't sure about something, she says so, and she checks and then gets right back to me. When there was something my future mother-in-law needed edited with her shower invitations, Denise took the time to sit down with her and figure it all out. Every time I interact with Denise and the staff at Persnickety, it is obvious that I'm being well taken care of. Going to appointments there is fun, and Denise makes you feel like an old family friend. She legitimately cares about her clients and her work that she does for them all. It helps that she's a perfectionist; if you work with her, there's NO WAY that you'd get lazy, low quality products. Denise takes the time and puts in the extra effort to make sure that everything is perfect, and if you aren't exceptionally happy with it, she makes sure to fix it fast. I HIGHLY recommend Persnickety to anyone who needs wedding attire and/or any kind of printed materials for a wedding or any other event. If I could give Denise and Persnickety 1,000 stars, I would. I'm already getting other products made from her (not related to the wedding at all), and I will go to her every time I have some kind of stationary need or if I am looking for a quality fancy accessory. I'm so glad I found Denise and Persnickety at that bridal expo; I only wish I would have found her sooner! GO TO PERSNICKETY AND SEE DENISE! You won't be disappointed! read more

Where do I even start! The Persnickety Bride was my first bridal shop. Before I came in, I was given a personal lookbook link to favorite the dresses they had. Denise FaceTimed me the day of and we talked a bit without masks about my wedding style, venue, etc. It was quick, but made me feel like she cared about me and wanted to be prepared. And boy was she - they had all my favorited dresses out and ready for me to try! Every dress I tried, Denise was quick to clip me with various very strong clips that made each dress look like it fitted me perfectly. She asked what I liked and didn't like, and we refined my style with each new dress she pulled. For those concerned about COVID, we all wore masks, her darling daughter steamed/sanitized each dress after I was done considering it, and I was the only appointment at that time. Being an overanalyzer though, I wasn't prepared to buy a dress at my first stop, but not once did Denise pressure me! Instead, she spent time educating me on the different fabric qualities, the production times, and the designers, and cautioned me to ask other shops "this" and look out for "that." I went to 2 other shops, and from the weak binder clips that flew off the dress if I moved (making me feel insecure), to their unsolicited opinions and pressures to buy a dress that day, leaving each made me appreciate Denise even more. Let me tell you, I RAN back to Mama Denise!! She gives constructive criticism only on the dress itself if you ask ("this drop waist isn't as flattering as those natural waists"), points out all the beautiful intricacies of the dress, and gives you the space and time to think for yourself. She makes the process so fun that time just flies by. She's fiercely loyal to the bride, supporting your choices and emphasizing your happiness first and foremost. She's the only bridal vendor who has made me feel like a special, unique bride with my own vision, and not just another sale. I wish I could get married every year (to my same fiancé of course lol) just so I could spend more time trying dresses with Denise! I can't stop singing her praises and if you visit her, you'll feel the same. Walking into her shop was the best bridal decision I could've made (other than saying yes to my fiancé) - it truly is a one-of-a-kind one-stop shop and I can't wait to go back for other items! Thank you Mama Denise for taking care of me and making my dress dreams come true!! read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience at the Persnickety Bride. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the wonderful, bubbly owner - Denise. She was excited to know about me and was so welcoming to my mom and sister. Denise worked hard to listen to what I wanted, and gauge my reaction to dresses to help me find the perfect dress. With Denise's help, the experience was fun, exciting, and not the least bit stressful! Plus, we celebrated with some champagne once I said yes to the gown! I had visited several other dress shops and nothing compared to the Persnickety Bride. In addition to the amazing experience, the shop itself is gorgeous. It is beautifully lit, clean, and well decorated. There is a comfortable sitting area for your helpers and most importantly an outstanding selection of beautiful gowns. I cannot say enough about the Persnickety Bride and the amazing Denise! read more

Denise and her team at The Persnickety Bride were absolutely amazing! From the moment I stepped into the store for my appointment, everyone was so personable and helpful. Out of the different places I went while looking for a dress, Denise had the largest selection of dresses in a wide variety of styles. All of the dresses that I liked prior to my appointment on the look book AND were in my price range were already pulled out for me to try on, which made trying on different dresses a lot less intimidating. Based on what I liked and didn't like, Denise then pointed me towards other dresses. She also was exceptionally helpful in talking through how different dresses could be changed/altered in whatever way I would need (fuller skirt, more A-line, etc.). Aside from the gorgeous selection of dresses, Denise's personality and investment in me finding exactly the right dress made my experience wonderful and I cannot wait to wear my dress on my wedding day! read more
