Unfortunately, this is the first place I went to try on wedding dresses. It was an awful…read moreexperience. The shop is small and there aren't a lot of dresses to begin with. Three women greeted us and I told them it was my first time shopping, and that I wanted a lace dress with some kind of sleeves. They scoffed at wanting sleeves, and told me I shouldn't worry about that because it would be hard to find. Gee, thanks! My Mom helped me into 3 dresses, all being too small. I don't know what sample sizes they get and perhaps it is beyond their control, but beware of this. One of the dresses was a fit and flair and at least gave me an idea of the style on me. It was okay but not great. Two women abruptly came in and were tugging and adjusting the dress and handing me belts to try, not listening to the fact that I didn't like this dress much at all! On top of that, one woman comments: "It almost fits. Maybe you can lose some weight before next year." Are you f*cking serious?! Listen, I'm a size 12 and not ever going to be skinny, even if I lose a few lbs. I have a large chest and hips, and that's just how I'm built. Like every bride, I hope to get in better shape before my wedding...but you do not ever say something like this to a woman trying on wedding gowns! I took the dress off, left the store, and burst into tears. I was so upset and emotional - it was just terrible. Nobody should ever treat someone that way. I can't recommend this store AT ALL. After I left, I went to Wedding Embassy in Oakville and they were beyond kind and helpful, and with a much bigger selection. They squeezed me in for an appointment and took the time to help me find suitable styles and explained that there are many things they can do to add sleeves or more coverage to the dress.

My experience at the Persnickety Bride was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I walked in,…read moreDenise and her staff welcomed me with such genuine warmth and enthusiasm that I immediately felt comfortable and at ease. Denise has an incredible ability to understand exactly how you're feeling. She could tell what I loved (and didn't love) just from my facial expressions. She carefully selected gowns that perfectly matched my style, and when I finally put on "the one," we all instantly knew, Denise included. I've been back to the Persnickety Bride countless times since then because Denise is also creating my wedding invitations, and they are absolutely beautiful. Every visit has been such a positive experience, and the entire staff consistently makes me feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly special. I cannot recommend the Persnickety Bride enough. Thank you to Denise and her amazing team for helping me find my dream dress and for designing such stunning wedding invitations!

If I could give this review five more stars, I absolutely would!…read more 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!

This mark didn't exists when I dropped off the dress. When the next day (48 hrs before wedding) it was still there, she stopped replying to my messages. The front of my strapless dress was lopsided becoz she had removed boning to create room around the back zipper, so much so that she offered putting pads to fill the giant gap between my chest and the front. She has no idea how to do French bustles and instead suggests inverted-cones by pulling the dress up and pinning on the outside. Unprofessional and irresponsible. Not to mention how she runs a sweat shop in her garage, working the seamstress on weekends and odd hours.
