Ok, this is a bit long, but please bear with me. First things first - I hate to shop. I know, crazy! To avoid being overwhelmed in stores, I shop online for exactly what I need in just minutes, and I can easily return what I don’t like. I also have 2 jobs, so time is a huge factor.
That said, I knew shopping for a wedding dress was going to have to work a bit differently. I wasn’t only concerned about the ‘stress’ of shopping, this would be an extremely emotional moment for me, as both my parents are in Heaven and my mom wouldn’t be at the store with me for this special process.
I did start with an online search starting with the designers that can be found at Majesty Bridal and immediately found a dress I fell in love with. I didn’t want to look any further. Now my concern was how it would look on me.
My bestie and I walked into Majesty and were immediately welcomed by a beautiful, bright, warm smile that belonged to an amazing woman named Hannah. The beauty and the shine was at the same level – if not higher – than that of the store. It was truly amazing and definitely lives up to its name – it was by all means ‘regal’. If you don’t believe me, look at the pictures - not mine, though, because I’m not sharing them until after I get married. LOL.
Hannah was so welcoming that I almost immediately forgot about all my concerns. She put me at ease and was genuinely interested in me, my love story, and what I wanted. I know, she was just doing her job, as she would probably say - but it felt like so much more than that. And it was. She wasn’t thinking about making the sale, but about giving me what I wanted. The first dress I tried one was the one I came in for and I could have left it at that, but tried two others, for the sake of ‘just in case’. Full appointment done in under an hour.
Hannah called me only three months later to tell me my dress had come in two months early (these ladies definitely work their magic!) – and she was more excited than I was! The first look appointment was emotional and exciting, even more so than the first appointment, and I got to meet owner Morgana and model (even though she's not just a model) Grace - definitely check out their Instagram! They’re just as kind as Hannah and shared in my joy. Thank you all!
Brides to be in the Connecticut area (and New York too, why not?!), definitely give Majesty Bridal a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Majesty Bridal was the first and only bridal shop I visited. The experience was great from start to finish! Hannah and Grace were wonderful. Hannah made me feel very comfortable from the beginning even though I walked in knowing very little about dresses. She pulled dresses that were exactly what I was looking for and then her and Grace ended up finding a sample that wasn't exactly what I had described but ended up being the dress. I never felt rushed at all during the appointment and they both guided me to try on different hair piece options as well.

Anna helped me, and she was so comforting and non-judgmental. She worked with my budget and instantly understood my style. I was so happy to be able to have my mom and sisters with me. I found the dress of my dreams. Anna was so patient and understanding. As a plus size bride I was terrified to try on dresses, but the atmosphere and kind heartedness of Majesty made me so comfortable. I’d easily recommend them to anyone!
