LOVED this shop! I chose this shop because they had a dress by a certain designer that I liked, but after trying on the dress, I was upset that it just didn't look good on me, but the sales assistant helped me find a dress that was very similar but longer, and it was just perfect. I absolutely love my dress, and received so many compliments on it, it was exactly what I wanted and this store was able to help me achieve that dream with their selection. Do NOT be put off that it is a small store, it is an absolute gem with an amazing selection, and amazing customer service. They let me try on so many dresses and when I was debating between two dresses, let me try them on again, you'd be surprised but some people do not let you do this, and limit your selections to three. They also don't try to get you to go above your budget, in fact she would tell me if the dress was not in my budget, not get me in it and try to sell it to me. My dress was an amazing value, people assumed that I spent three times the amount on it. Perfect shop, would definitely recommend it! So glad I found this gem!!!!!

The Wedding Dress was GREAT!!!!!!! I cannot say enough about their service, helpfulness, friendliness, and selection. Shelly, Lisa, and Marion were absolutely wonderful!! I have recommended them to everyone I know. Don't waste your time going anywhere else- The Wedding Dress will be your first and last stop!!

I purchased my Essence of Australia dress from Lisa at the Wedding Dress. She stayed late one Saturday afternoon to help me and gave no indictaion that the store was closed! The staff was so friendly and helpful I was sad to say goodbye when I finally picked up my gown before my wedding! The alterations were VERY reaosnably priced. My dress had to be taken in a LOT, almost 2 sizes, and I had a very detailed bustle. It was only $85!! I would go back there with any of my friends any time...even though it was an hour away! Worth the trip!

I highly recommend any woman looking for a wedding dress to please go here. This is one of THE BEST places in CT to get your dress. I went to two other places before this and none compare. The amount of variety in the shop is awesome- and Lisa and Shelley know EVERYTHING about every single one of the dresses in the shop. They are so patient and helpful- I can't say enough good things about them. The only thing that's a little inconvenient is the time the seamstress is there- but she did an AMAZING job on my bustle and hemming the bridesmaid dresses my girls got here as well. They had nothing but great things to say- and I highly recommend this shop. You build a relationship with the women there and are almost sad to pick up your dress and not see them again!!!

Shelly and Lisa were so great to work with. It took me a long time to find my dress and I am so glad I found it at The Wedding Dress. Such a cute shop and the two are so funny and great to be around. Super honest about the dress you will be wearing for the big day, which I though was so important. Not a thing wrong with my dress, it was absolutley perfect, so many compliments! Be sure to make an appt they are super busy ladies :).

Shelley and Lisa at The Wedding Dress were fantastic! From picking out my dress to the alterations they were there. The shop looks small from the outside, but their stock of dresses is extensive and at a very good price. They give a real personal feel to the dress shopping/buying/altering experience.

i had already known i was destined to buy my dress from shelley!! I knew i wanted and essense of australia dress. and Shelley was the one that would have it for me. i went in open minded to differented dresses and fell in love with one ten minutes into being there i ordered the dress wihtout being abe to try a fitting dress on. sorry sample dress you were just too small. but i took the chance and i love it.. i refuse to preswerve my dress it hangs in my closet so i can play dress up and remmber just how awesome this dress my wedding day and the wedding dress shop really is

I love, love, love this shop! I bought my wedding dress here and loved every minute of my experience. I picked out my dress there, but then had the designer make the cut of the dress different and did custom sizing. Originally, because of a shipping error, the wrong dress came in, and Shelley the owner, really stepped up to the plate to make sure that everything was resolved with promptly and perfectly. Shelley is awesome to deal with, and so are all the staff, especially Lisa. My dress came out perfect. I bought my viel and tiara there too, all very afforable. The alterations were also really afforable - cheaper than some of my bridesmaid dress alterations at other shops! They will open special hours if you ask and are so accomodating. I can not say enough about this place, which I would highly recommend!

For my wedding in the fall of 2009, I went to The Wedding Dress. Lisa and Shelley were both awesome, being so patient with me as I tried on dress after dress. The dress I ended up with was so perfect for me, just as they had suggested before I tried it on. On my wedding day the dress I wore was a complete fit for my personality and style. Everyone still comments on how perfect and beautiful my wedding dress was on me! The service at this small, homely, yet professional store was great. I couldn't have asked for more!

Shelley and Lisa were amazing! I came into the store distressed that I hadn't found a dress yet, and Lisa helped me try on several different dresses while giving me advice on each one. I never felt pressured to make a decision on a dress that day even though I ended up falling one and buying it. It really goes a long way when you receive good quality service

What can I say about Shelly, her staff and shop? Only that she is one of the most amazing people I ever met. Her shop is adorable, her staff friendly and helful.
Whenever I pictured myself trying on my wedding dress, it was always in a shop exactly like hers.
My dress was perfect. It was the first one she picked out for me even though I swore up and down I would never wear a fitted dress or a halter. I tried it on and that was that. It was MY dress. She made sure it was perfect for my day.
She also has brides maids dresses, flower girl dresses, accesories galore, and prom dresses. If you want personalized service in a relaxed and comfortable atomosphere, go to The Wedding Dress. Shelly will make sure you look PERFECT.

This was the one and only shop I went to looking for my wedding dress. I did some research before I began my search, and I like that this was considered a "small boutique" versus a huge "bridal mall", which I liked. When I got to the shop, I was not dissappointed. The selection was amazing, all unique yet affordable dresses. The staff is so friendly and helpful, it's like they are family. The first dress I tried on ended up being the one I got, but they still let me try on about 30 dresses. I also went there for my veil and alterations, and they did a great job. They truly want you to look your best. At the last fitting, I was actually a little sad to say good bye to the friends I made at the Wedding Dress... If you are looking for personal attention and stunning dresses at a reasonable price, I highly recommend you come here.

Wonderful, they took care of everything. Very professional!

What a great experience! I was so nervous about finding a dress and if I had known it would be this easy, I would have gone to this shop first. The girls in the shop were so helpful and made me feel great without putting any pressure on me. I know they helped me to find the dress that was perfect for me.

Shelley and her team made me feel like a princess, like I was the only bride they were working for. Before I went to the shop, I had an idea in mind for what I wanted for my dress and luckily Maria pulled a "what not to wear" on me and found me THE PERFECT DRESS!!! I was very happy with the service that The Wedding Dress offered, my only regret is that I did not get my attendants dresses there. Very personal and very professional.
