Mother of the Bride

Thank you to everyone at The Bridal Boutique for making my MOB gown so perfect ,alterations and customizations like no other. Nevena,Josephine,Maria and Norma went above and beyond to make my dress and alterations on my daughters dress as well. Thanks to Dianna for making sure they were pristine before taking them home. Also, thanks to Melissa (Mgr.) for seeing my vision and making it come to life. My husbands Tuxedo was also amazing!
The difference between this establishment and others is that they really treat you like family and not just another customer which to me MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!!

Amazing experience!

I went here for my Mother of the Bride gown and had such a lovely experience with Maryanne and Melissa. They were both so helpful and professional. They took my vision of what I wanted and showed me something beautiful. They were honest but kind and I could not have appreciated it more. I highly recommend checking them out.

Amazing!!!!! 10/10

This was probably the best experience I could’ve ever had. Melissa, Maryann & Diana were especially attentive to myself, my mother & my entire bridal party. Men included! If I know of anyone getting married in the future, I’m sending them this way!!

Wedding Dress and Bridesmaids Dresses

I bought my wedding dress and my bridesmaids dresses at the Bridal Boutique for my wedding this year and I honestly would never go anywhere else ! My experience was absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommended this place enough! Their selection of gowns were truly beautiful and i found my DREAM DRESS at Always a Bridesmaid!!
Melissa, Diana and all the ladies that work there are nothing short of amazing and truly know what they are doing. Everyone was professional, super friendly and very helpful! Marianne was awesome and helped me with everything from matching my veil and headpiece, down to grabbing bridesmaids dresses to compare colors next to each other for better visuals! I have never felt so welcomed by another place like the way i did at The Bridal Boutique. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH LADIES! This was the only fun part of wedding planning !

The BEST spot for all wedding attire!

I honestly can't thank the team at The Bridal Boutique enough for all they've done for me over the last two years. After searching for months, I found my dream dress! The team was super helpful during my appointment and listened to my thoughts on what I wanted instead of pushing trunk show dresses at me (like other places had). After I found my dress, they helped me find my bridesmaids dresses, too! Once COVID postponed my wedding, they were happy to store my dress for me and hold on to it until I was ready for my fittings. Even my fittings were quick and easy! Plus, my husband got his tux from there, too, and the team ensured he would match me and my bridesmaids. My dad and grandfather even went here for their tuxedos! This is truly the best place for a one-stop shop for all things wedding!

Amazing Bridal Boutique

My name is Nicole and I have been going here for at least ten years. I have been a bridesmaid quite a few times. We have always purchased our bridesmaid dresses from The Bridal Boutique. The are extremely helpful and pleasure to be around. I even have my regular dresses tailored there.Going there for so long I have became friends with everyone that works there. Now, its time for me to get married and I immediately went to The Bridal Boutique. When I first went there Diana had made my appointment. She is always so helpful and sweet. I am currently working with Marianne and made my experience of finding a wedding gown such a pleasure. Not only did I get my Bridal gown there I also have purchased my bridesmaids dresses at The Bridal Boutique. I would highly recommend this place. I have highly recommended them to all my friends which purchased all there dresses there as well. Everyone that works there is nothing short of amazing. The manager Melissa is also amazing. Thank you guys again.

Best wedding experience! Thank you melissa & diana!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!! My wife & I had the absolute BEST wedding experience with the Bridal Boutique. I had already found my wedding dress at a store in NJ the day before I met Melissa at a wedding expo. I planned to go and purchase the dress the following weekend. As soon as I met Melissa I knew that I wanted to look at the Bridal Boutique before I made my purchase. She scheduled me an appointment and the rest was history. Melissa was able to order my dress to her store, and she worked with my wife to help bring her jumper vision to life. We worked with Diana & Melissa and purchased all our bridesmaid dresses, alterations, jewelry, accessories, flower girl dresses, and even our tuxedo's with the Bridal Boutique. Not only did we get the best price, but we got the best customer service. We feel like family. When I called Diana & Melissa knew exactly who I was, and assisted with anything we needed. Our bridal party looked GORGEOUS and we couldn't be happier! We received so many compliments on how sharp the men's tuxedo's were. More importantly, all the guys said they have rented tuxedo's in the past but these were such a great fit and so unbelievable comfortable. Our girls looked flawless. Each had a different style dress which flattered their shape and the alterations were done perfectly to fit their bodies. My wife had a very specific vision in her mind which acquired a lot of alterations to make her jumper fit her body the way she wanted. The ladies worked so hard to make this happen for Meghan. (Diana and Mel, I know she drove you crazy, thank you for being patient with her!) She looked gorgeous and felt amazing. The compliments she received are still flowing in. My wedding dress, ohh my beautiful wedding dress!! It was PERFECT! Shirley altered it perfectly, and I wish I could wear it every single day. It was so comfortable, and fit me exactly how I wanted. My bustle was such a pain (had 12 hooks) But Shirley explained that by making it this way my dress would not lose its whimsical shape, and she was so right!

We shopped around for almost a year before we found the Bridal Boutique, but we are so glad we did. I was the bride who did ALL my research and went to a billion places so believe me when I say if you are not shopping here, you are 100% missing out on great options, great prices but most importantly great people. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much Melissa & Diana and the rest of the staff at the Bridal Boutique. I'm bringing in my dress to preserve it, so I will see you girls soon!
XOXO

Great from beginning to end

The Bridal boutique was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. They make it so easy to find the perfect dress! Every girl there was so sweet and so helpful it was just a great place to come to I had alterations done 3 times and each time the seamstress (Shirley) was very patient and diligent. My last fitting, the gown fit perfectly and I felt like an actual bride. Thank you for everything ladies!!

I came to Always a Bridesmaid the bridal boutique because it's local and I absolutely refuse to go to Angel's Bridal from their terrible reviews. I have bought bridesmaid dresses at always a bridesmaid previously and have had wonderful experiences. This was my first time bridal shopping and my sales consultant was Leia, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She listened to everything I said and continued to change direction based off my notes. Since it was my first time bridal shopping I didn't realize I didn't like satin, I thought I liked an illusion back, turns out I don't haha. She was just so helpful. Even though I didn't purchase my dress that day I will definitely return for bridesmaid dresses.

What a lovely place! My initial dress from another store was unable to be found and lacked tracking, so I new I had to get another dress to be safe since my wedding is less than four months away. The ladies at this store were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. Despite our time frame, they helped me find the perfect dress that I am absolutely in love with. I went by myself (a little unconventional) but I never thought I would find a dress so quickly let alone so perfect. It is so beautiful that I find myself wanting to show everyone! I am so excited for the dress to come in and I cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day. I highly recommend working with these ladies to find the dress of your dreams. I was taken right away for my appointment, assisted every step of the way and was treated very kindly. Thank you everyone for all your help! Ladies if you're looking for a dress be sure to stop here.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
