One stop shopping! The Persnickety Bride was a 5 star experience from start to finish.

Making my appointment was so easy and the try on appointment was so relaxed. Aeryn really listened to what I wanted and she made great suggestions.
The first dress she gave me to try on was absolutely perfect. I tried a bunch of other dresses on afterwards, but the first one was the winner!

Months later, my mom was having trouble finding her Mother of the Bride dress, so we went back to Persnickety and she found her dress that day!

The customer service is amazing, friendly interactions every single time.

A huge thank you to the Persnickety Bride!!!

Denise, Celia and the whole team are the best, and I’m so happy we found this gem in Newtown. You can tell they truly care about each bride. My dress and veil were a dream come true, and from the first appointment to the dress pick up / veil shopping, and meeting the designer Dany Tabet after the wedding, the Persnickety team was wonderful. A huge thank you to the Persnickety Bride!!!

Denise and her team were amazing at Persnickety :) I highly recommend Denise and her team to help you find your dream dress!

Denise and her team are top tier! I knew I wanted to go to persnickety since my cousins both went there. They had wonderful experiences and spoke very highly of them. When I arrived I spoke to Denise and her team telling them what I was looking for and they showed me a new Dany Tabet dress and I fell in love! They also picked a veil that looked like it was made for the dress! I highly recommend Denise and her team!
