    Amazing experience

    I purchased my mother of the bride dress @ Bridal Garden.I worked w/ the owner , Christina. She was amazing! Very professional and knowledgeable. The boutique is beautiful and easy to locate, w/ plenty of parking. They have many different styles to choose from. I shopped around , but decided to purchase my gown here. The price was reasonable and once we ordered it the turn around receiving it was w/in a couple of months.
    Though they do not have an in-house seamstress, Christina provided me a long list of alterations referrals.
    Highly recommended shopping here!
    Thank you for your sweet kindness and courtesy Christina😊!

    Highly recommend!

    If you are looking for a dress that not everyone will have... this is your place--
    I went into The Bridal Garden after going to 4 different shops in RI/MA, and not finding anything I love. I worked with Christina, the owner. For starters, her gown selection is GORGEOUS. She has an incredible space (the new building is beautiful!), and a ton of dresses that are so unique and stunning. I tried on quite a few there that myself & my bridesmaids loved (and many said, why didn't I shop here..). Christina 100% understood my style and knew what I was looking for, and could read the room extremely well. It felt like shopping with a friend rather than someone who was trying to sell you something. She was amazing. When I finally found the "one", I was on the fence (spoiler alert: you don't always KNOW/cry/have that TV moment when you find your dress). Christina could not have been kinder and did not pressure me WHATSOEVER. She allowed me to take photos, and encouraged me to take some time. I came back a week later, and decided that it was 100% the one, and I could not be happier with my selection. My favorite part is that I literally cannot find this dress anywhere online.. my dress designer I believe is exclusive to the store. I love the thought of it being not all over my pinterest/ instagram feed from other brides (though they all are beautiful!). I picked up my dress yesterday, and could not be more excited.

    Between the dress selection, and Christina literally being the greatest, I cannot say enough about The Bridal Garden.

    Perfect wedding dress boutique

    Christina's boutique was the perfect location to find my wedding dress. She has a variety of styles and makes you feel at home without all the hype that some other boutiques have. Her boutique definitely delivers-- no need to go into the city to find the perfect gown. Both my mom and mother in law also found their gowns here! Definitely recommend!!!

    Great Experience!

    Angela, Christina and Brooke worked together to provide such a comfortable and bride centered experience. The shop is beautiful, light and airy, with plenty of dresses spread throughout. I went on a Saturday and felt that even though it was a busy day there was a lot of attention on the bride, their preferences etc. Even though we went over my time when deciding on the dress and we were invited to celebrate! I would definitely suggest BG for brides looking for a personalized, relaxed experience!

    Like shopping with an old friend! Hayley Paige Dresses & Perfect for a small group.

    The Bridal Garden was a great experience that I would (and will!) recommend to my friends and family. Angela was helpful, sweet, and kind from the moment we walked it. It was like having another friend there! She let me, my MOH, and mom walk around and hand pick some dresses to start with, which was awesome! Angela was amazing at reading the situation, giving advice, and keeping the appointment moving (I appreciate wasting no time!). I came in with one vision in my head and Angela helped me get out of shell and try on other styles. After her helping me trying on dresses and listening to my feedback on each, she pulled the dress of my dreams!! If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have even tried it on - I went right past it! 1 appointment and 2.5 hours later, I had purchased the best dress EVER! if you're a fan of Hayley Paige- make an appointment here NOW! Thanks to everyone again at The Bridal Garden. Cant wait to come back to get my orders!

    I found the perfect dress at the Bridal Garden. The entire staff there, were beyond accommodating. I am a retail manager and it was incredibly hard to find a time slot that my mother and I had available together. Karen stayed late just for me to make sure I was able to get an appointment. I tried on a variety of dresses, trying to achieve a lacy, trumpet look. Karen picked a different style, and it was THE dress! It was from the Casablanca line, and they were able to order it for me in my exact measurements. It needed minimal alterations because of this and fit like a glove! I have been a bridesmaid a number of times, and have been in many shops (including others on Main St. ) and the attention and care that these ladies give to their clients is at a level above the rest. You will not be disappointed when you stop in here!

    I only went wedding dress shopping once, and it was the best day all because of the staff at this shop! I had the pleasure of having Christina help me shop with myself, bridesmaid, mom and future mother in law. She was very knowledgable and was never pushy or stand off-ish. She was the perfect fit and had such patience and a great personality to my group. I will always remember my dress shopping experience as one of my best days because of the service and Christina! Oh, and because I said yes to the dress!

    I had a wonderful experience with The Bridal Garden and absolutely loved my Casablanca wedding dress. I had gone to a handful of dress shops across RI and the Bridal Garden was the second to last one. Everyone was super helpful, professional, and accommodating during my fitting. They have a substantial selection of dresses, brand names and unique looks. I did not feel rushed or pressured during my fitting, the experience was very enjoyable. I was not able to take photos of the dresses so I had to come back for a second look at the one I really liked. After trying on the dress a second time, I knew it was the one!

    I bought my wedding dress here and it was such a wonderful experience! My mom and I went and because you have to make an appointment, we actually had the whole place to ourselves, which was amazing! The women we were working with even kept the store open for almost an extra hour just so I didn't feel rushed in deciding which dress to get. It was a very pleasant, relaxing experience and I didn't feel stressed at all. They were very helpful in finding a dress and making sure I tried things I normally wouldn't try on just so I was sure I wasn't missing out on something I might actually like. The dress I ended up buying was absolute perfection in every way and was 100% ME! This was the only store I went to when shopping for my wedding dress and I could not be happier with the experience or the dress!

    This is such an ADORABLE boutique - please consider this shop if you are looking for your dream gown. I ended up shopping for wedding dresses a little over a year prior to my 4/14/18 wedding. After only checking out one other shop I ended up finding my dream dress here. I was a little hesitant to order a dress so far in advance - but I did! The team at Bridal Garden was so attentive and honest. They allowed me to go back several times throughout the year to try on the gown (once I bought the shoes, jewelry, etc). They helped me find a seamstress in the area (whom I also fell in love with!) Everything about my wedding dress shopping experience was dream-like thanks to the ladies at the Bridal Garden.

    I can't thank the Bridal Garden enough. It was one of the first places I went to try on dresses, but I am so indecisive that I went to multiple (and I mean multiple) other salons before coming back for a dress I found there. The ladies at the Bridal Garden are better than anywhere else, so helpful and not pushy at all. The store has lots of options at different price points, and they let you try on a ton during your appointment. While trying on dresses I always found some reason that they weren't quite right, but it didn't matter when I was at Bridal Garden, because Karen stayed positive and gave me plenty of options. When I finally came back and decided on my dress, she remembered me and was so excited! I made changes to the dress through the designer (Casablanca) and Bridal Garden acted as liaison, and it came out picture-perfect. We also got my bridesmaids' dresses there, and they were incredibly accommodating--one of the interns even tried on a dress with my maid of honor so I could see how the colors looked together! That's just a few examples of how they went above and beyond. Also, the seamstress they recommended, Joan Murphy, was a total sweetheart and did a great job with both my and my maid of honor's dresses. Thank you, Bridal Garden!

    I cannot express enough how happy I was after finding my dress at Bridal Garden. The women there are extremely helpful and caring that you find the dress of your dreams. I was traveling from Boston, MA for my fittings and Karen was very helpful even bringing it to the seamstress in time for my first appointment so I didn’t have to make a stop at Bridal Garden first. So helpful!
    I went to two places before stopping into Bridal Garden and I didn’t feel like a bride before trying on the dresses there. The quality of their gowns and the variety was superior to the other stores I went to. My mother was with me and she loved the boutique. It was the first time she was called “mother of the bride” and the smile she had after hearing it didn’t leave her face. Even when she saw me in the gown that I said “yes” to she had tears in her eyes, but that smile never left.
    The prices are competitive and fair for the quality of the gown you fall in love with. Bridal Garden also, has a seamstress that they work with a few miles down the road called Sewing Creations by Rose and she is perfect! Bridal Garden and Rose made the process of purchasing a dress and having it altered so easy and one less thing you as a bride would have to worry about. I loved my experience and am telling everyone I know that is getting married to go to Bridal Garden. Thank you!

    They really paid attention to all the little things I liked and didn't like in each dress. This led to them pulling a sample from the back that was exactly what I envisioned and loved! They were so helpful, and I ended up going back and purchasing the veil I tried on with the dress a few months later after nothing else came close. The seamstress they recommend is amazing as well.

    The Bridal Garden is THE PLACE to go for all your bridal needs. My bridesmaids recently purchased all their dresses there for my upcoming wedding and I could not be any happier. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and very patient. The staff pulled sooooo many dresses for us to try on! We had a blast there and overall a great experience. They are truly experts and worked with all my girls to find the perfect bridesmaid dresses for each girl. They called me when the dresses arrived...and they came in nice and EARLY! I would definitely recommend The Bridal Garden to every bride! Enjoy!

    These women were AMAZING. From helping me to choose my dress, dressing not only the bridesmaids but also the Flower girls, both the MOB and MOG (and the Mother of the groom ordered a dress, changed her mind and then ordered another!). These women are so good at what they do that I hadn't even considered the dress I wound up buying... they insisted I try it on and I am glad they did. They went above and beyond to make certain I was happy, and even steamed my dress for me the day before since I traveled with it. I would HIGHLY recommend any new bride get her butt into that shop before buying anything anywhere else!

    I ordered my dress early, but I specifically went in for the Hailey Paige trunk show last May 2014. It was fabulous! I found the dress of my dreams and received a discount because of the trunk show, it couldn't get any better than that! I also love that the store is holding onto my dress for me until it's time for alterations, which is huge since we just got a puppy and the last thing I need is a chewed up wedding dress!

    I cannot say enough good things about the team at Bridal Garden!! Christina, Angela and Karen are simply awesome. They had so much patience with me when I started trying on wedding gowns last September. I NEVER felt pushed to purchase, and I always felt like they were looking out for what looked/felt best on me rather than just selling dresses. I left the store after finding what I thought could be the one, but wasn't ready to commit yet.

    After going to several other stores, I ended up back at Bridal Garden and ended up paying slightly more than what someone else quoted me for the same dress- I was willing to pay that slight bit extra for the excellent service I received and I am so glad I did. Every time I went back to the shop, they knew my name and helped in every way they could.

    Christina knew there were some changes I wanted to make to the dress, and helped me to fashion it in a way that I didn't even have to pay extra to the designer. My dress ended up coming in slightly wrong from the changes and Christina immediately said that it was going to be sent back so I could get a new one made. She took photos and called the designer- all things that went above and beyond just so that she made sure I was happy and didn't have to pay extra for it.

    I adore my dress, and am so happy that I bought it from the Bridal Garden. They outfitted my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids as well, and every single person was happy with them. Thank you!!!!!

    The staff at the Bridal Garden was beyond helpful every step of the way for me and my girls. I purchased my bridal gown, the bridesmaids gowns, my flower girls dress and my junior bridesmaids dress from them. Every encounter I had with them was pleasant and easy. They always had answers and showed the utmost professionalism at all times. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a great experience when looking for your perfect gown!

    The Bridal Garden made finding my dream dress the easiest experience of my life! The owner Christina has an eye for finding the perfect dress for you! I had picked a few out that I thought I liked, and my family did the same, as I tried them on I didn't find "the one " yet. She took one look at me and grabbed a few she thought would work... Well she was right! The second I tried my dress on I knew it was mine. The customer service and family feel when you walk into The Bridal Garden immediately let's you relax and actually enjoy the experience. I had all my bridesmaids, my flower girl, and both my mother and mother-in-law buy their dresses here too.

    My experience at the Bridal Garden was one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process. I worked with Christina (the owner) throughout the entire process and she was such a doll. We still have kept in touch over email.
    After shopping around at a few stores in the Boston area, I decided to try out the Bridal Garden as I grew up Rhode Island and was striking out with the stores in my new area, and I'm so happy I did!
    Their selection was great and Christina was helpful in pulling some choices. During my first appointment and all of them for that matter, I never felt rushed or pushed into making any decisions I wasn't comfortable making that day. Christina and her mother were sweet and encouraging as I picked out my dream wedding dress. Although, I knew my dress would require a lot of alterations, Christina put my mind at ease and went over how the alterations would look- she also connected me with the best seamstress ever!
    I'm sad to see other people's reviews that did not have as wonderul of an experience as I did- it must have been off days, because I can't imagine Christina & her mom acting nothing but professional, sweet, and helpful! She's the kind of girl you would want to become friends with- which makes shopping for such a big occassion even more fun!

    The owner at TBG was the best! I had been to several other stores around Boston, NYC, and EG before checking out TBG and was feeling discouraged. I tried on a few there too and didn't see anything I liked (I'm terribly picky) so the owner encouraged me to try on something I would never wear to get me out of my funk then she told me to "just go pick one that wasn't awful." Trying on a big puffy dress actually worked and was really fun and as soon as I put on the dress I had picked out I was in love!!! I really owe her for her help since it wasn't the dress I had originally envisioned but it was the absolute most perfect dress and I got so many compliments on how gorgeous and "me" my dress was.
    When it came in a few months after choosing it, it was about 4+ inches too short and I needed it long. I left feeling a little concerned but the owner called me back a day or so later and told me she would make sure I was a happy bride. She had the dress sent back and remade to ensure the proper fit and when I got it back a few weeks later it was just perfect! They have a great selection and are very helpful in identifying what you are looking for, what will look good on your shape, and ensuring happy brides.
