I went to Persnickety by recommendation of someone else who got their wedding dress there and I was not disappointed! Denise has a wide variety of selection for dresses and has a knack for recommending what will work best based on what you want, your body and your price range. She also has such a wonderful energy to her. My mom and I were cracking up the entire time we were there, we were excited to go back for fittings! My mom even went for MOB dress shopping there too - we loved her selection of those so much too that she ended up buying 2 dresses haha! Her and her team are immensely helpful, know their stuff and really make the experience an enjoyable time!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
OMG Jessica - Thank you so much for this lovely review!!! I so so need these pictures on my website!!! You looked stunning on your wedding day (so does hubby) - Love the picture of you and mom. We had such a great time. Please be sure to send pictures so that we can get them up on the website under real brides!!! xoxo Denise

Phenomenal Store
From a correspondence email:
Denise, thank you so much for providing my future sister-in-law with such a wonderful experience. She told me afterwards that it was beyond all expectations (as she had never gone shopping for a western wedding dress, or thought she would until meeting her groom), and that she felt incredibly special. :)
Long story short: Sister in Law found THE DRESS here, and the service was exceptional. If you want the experience of a lifetime go Persnickety Bride.

personal, memorable, successful
I came to this store recently with all of my ladies to find my wedding dress! I was met with quality service, a welcoming environment and an impressive selection. The mother-daughter, family dynamic made me feel comfortable immediately during the "wedding dress" process that, let's be realistic, can be a little stressful. Denise helped me to come to a decision for myself (while also considering the opinions and views of my mother and bridal party), but mostly for myself, the dress that was meant for me. When something about one dress wasn't quite what I was looking for they quickly found me something in alignment with my vision and budget. I felt so supported, and both of these ladies helped me feel comfortable and confident making a decision on a dress that reflects my personality and compliments me in all the right ways. I left feeling like a part of the Persnickety Bride family, and they sent me off with gift bag and group photo. I can't say thank you enough, truly! 10/10 would recommend.
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Dear Rachel - Thank you for the lovely review! I did have a fabulous time with you and enjoyed the company of your entire bridal tribe. You found your vision in your dress and nothing makes me happier than seeing happy tears and a relaxed bride. So so happy and WELCOME to the Family!! xoxo Denise, Aeryn and Emily

Wonderful experience!
This was the experience I was hoping for! My best gals and I had an amazing time with Denise at the Persnickety Bride! Not only did I find my dress on the very first try, but the experience was unforgettable. Denise has created a fun, cozy, laid back, beautiful shop filled with some of the most gorgeous gowns I have ever seen. Denise has a ton of variety and I was really able to try on all the styles I was interested in during one appointment. As a bride, I can't recommend the Persnickety Bride enough especially if you are looking to have some fun along the way!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
My darling Jessica! Thank you so very much for your lovely review. You literally hit the nail on the head. This exactly want I want people to feel when they come to us! In what could be a very unnerving, superficial experience, with people that really don't care - my view after years of business experience - is give the customer what they want - our jobs are to know our stock and get to know you well enough to go through the inventory in our head and really HEAR you and find what is "YOU" - our brides really know who they are - they just need to feel comfortable enough articulating who they are so that we can do the best in locating the dress for them, or the invitations for them, or the perfect moms dress for them - it is all about communication and reaching the heart of our client so they know and feel confident in us and in their choice. My girls are part of a family that I adore. This is our mission - my mission - I can't say enough to you for becoming a Persnickety Bride and I can't wait until the moment I receive those beautiful pictures of your wedding day! xoxo with love always - Denise and the girls from The Persnickety Bride!

Exceptional!
I went to Persnickety Bride to get a wedding dress for vow renewals. My whole life I've been a tomboy, and can't remember last time I wore a dress, not to mention a wedding dress. I'm also petite size/small bust, and though for sure that would be an issue. Not so! Denise blew me away with her kindness, knowledge and patience. I was so lucky to find a gorgeous sample dress with price tag to match my budget. She made me feel so comfortable, and all the dresses she picked out were really perfect, but lucky for me I got a dress I would have otherwise not gotten if it wasn't for the sample sale. I highly recommend them, you won't regret it. You gotta check out the sample sale. Thanks to Denise for making this such a great experience, and for helping me find exactly the dress I had pictured. Denise, you're simply the best!!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Oh Marianne honestly you have made my day!!! I am so happy you came in and I can not wait to see pictures of you on your special day. That dress is simply gorgeous on you and with a little something in your hair and earrings you are going to blow everyone away!!! I am so thrilled you came to see us and most importantly that you were able to become a Persnickety Bride - much love and please send pictures! xoxo Denise

Five Stars!
Outstanding experience at the Persnickety Bride! I purchased my mother-of-the-bride dress there. They had many, many selections to choose from and really worked with me on finding what was right for myself. Their dresses are clearly high quality dresses and every one of them is simply stunning! Emily was absolutely a pleasure to work with. She made you feel very comfortable from the start and gave her honest opinion for each dress tried on. Denise is simply beyond words.....her knowledge regarding each dress and the correct way it should fit is impressive. Her honesty is a credit as you never feel the pressure to simply buy the dress. She, as well, makes you feel very comfortable from the moment you enter her shop. Most importantly, both Emily and Denise listen to what your concerns are and what you are looking for and do their absolute best to accomodate you! Five Stars!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Linda - Thank you so much for your wonderful review! How much fun did we have together!! Emily is a blessing and is honestly like one of my daughters so these young ladies (including my daughters) are so good at asking what your needs are and that is what is important in working with moms and brides. You look stunning in your dress so I can't wait to see the pictures of the wedding. Thank you so much for becoming a Persnickety Mom. It means the world to us to make all of our clients feel absolutely gorgeous!! xoxo Denise , Emily, Aeryn and Bella

HIGHLY recommend being Persnickety!
Denise was a DREAM to work with. She was high-energy, and she was great at helping translate my not-so-clear vision into a real dress! I went to 3 bridal shops, and she put me in 2 of my top 3 dresses. She made the appointment fun, and she definitely understood what I was looking for. I sent my fiancee to Persnickety to get her dress too, and we are BOTH Persnickety Brides!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Julia - Thank you so so much for your lovely review. God I had a blast working with you. I know how overwhelming it can be to find a dress. My one job which I take very seriously is listening to my brides and working through the inventory in my mind to find the dresses you are going to appreciate and love. The fact that you were so open to try on different dresses - really makes the collaboration of bride and stylist so easy! I can not wait to see your pictures with Lisa - you both are going to look so beautiful. You know if you need anything else please let us know. Thank you for becoming part of The Persnickety Bride family!! xoxo Denise

Amazing time
The Persnickety Bride carried the designer I was looking for. I was able to favorite the dresses within my lookbook. When I got to my appointment Denise had the dresses that I favorited already pulled and waiting for me to try on :) Denise made my experience finding my wedding gown amazing! I found my dress at The Persnickety Bride!! Cannot wait to walk down the aisle in it :)
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Aww Courtney honey you were so awesome to work with for your wedding dress. I couldn't be happier for you. Thank you for the lovely review - it means a lot to me and to the staff here! xoxo D

Amazing experience!
I cannot say enough positive things about The Persnickety Bride!!! Denise and her daughters made wedding dress shopping an absolute breeze! They were all kind, personable, knowledgeable and truly listened to me throughout the whole process. Based on my feedback, they thoughtfully pulled dresses that would not only suit my body type, but also remained well within my budget. The experience truly felt personal and as if I were a member of their family. I went to a few other bridal shops while searching for my perfect dress and no other shop provided the kind of service and warm welcome I received at The Persnickety Bride! Don't think twice... just go! You won't be disappointed.
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Aww Jessica thank you so very much for this review. You look absolutely beautiful in your dress. I am so happy to have you in the Persnickety Bride family. I so enjoyed spending time with you and mom. I can't wait to see pictures! xoxo Denise and the girls at The Persnickety Bride

Be the most important bride!
The Persnickety Bride is fantastic! Denise was absolutely wonderful; she made me feel like the most important bride in the world while shopping for my dress! Other salons made me feel rushed or like I was just another client, but Denise made sure to really figure out what I was looking for. Great dress selection, wonderful salon, fantastic staff. Highly recommend!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Dear Jennifer -- thank you so much for your lovely testimonial. A meeting with you and your family for a wedding dress should be an appointment where our most important job is insuring that we go on that treasure hunt with you for your perfect wedding dress. That is the joy of the process. I believe all our brides who become our brides understand that we take this process very seriously. Everyone will have their time in our shop. If we run a little over time with one bride - the next bride will have the same courtesy. We know we have a beautiful selection of dresses and it is by the process of listening to our brides - that is how we learn what they are exactly looking for in their dream dress. Again - thank you for your review it really touched my heart and what we look to always achieve here at The Persnickety Bride!! xoxo Denise

Denise and her team are amazing! I knew I always wanted a sleeved dress, but I was worried about being able to find the exact one. Persnickety had THE perfect dress for me. Their selection is unparalleled. I truly believe you can find any style dress you're looking for here. They are super thorough and helpful. I couldn't picture my dress experience any other way. Thanks Persnickety!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Awww Victoria - thank you so much for your awesome review. My staff and I try really had to make every visit wonderful for our brides. You should have lots of love (and excellent dresses ) showered on you when you are shopping for "the one"... Congrats again on becoming a Persnickety Bride!! Can't wait to see the pictures! xoxo Denise

The Best Experience!
Denise and team truly made my wedding dress experience a grand success!!! Denise was so kind and warm which was such a relief, I had never tried on dresses in my life so I was definitely a little nervous. She was so much fun, had a great sense of humor and was so patient. She made the entire experience such a delight and so much fun. I really couldn't have asked for a better day to share with my friends and family. I ended up buying my dress the same day which was so exciting. 100000/10 for The Persnickety Bride!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Catina - Awwww I was so happy that you found your beautiful dress with us and became a Persnickety Bride. It looks gorgeous on you. I can not wait to see pictures. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else! xoxo Denise

The Only Bridal Salon You will Need
On 8/7/21 I went to the Persnickety Bride to begin my wedding dress search. I traveled over 4 hours from northern New Hampshire to come to this store because of the phenomenal reviews on The Knot. This was one of the best wedding-related decisions I have made thus far! The five top reasons I loved this bridal salon: 1) Denise is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, a fantastic listener, and a skilled stylist. 2) She worked within my budget. 3) She had me try on several different dresses styles, which allowed me to experiment with different fabrics, cuts, and other details. 4) The experience was personalized, intimate, and comfortable. 5) The store itself was clean, well organized, and had plenty of inventory to select from! I did NOT plan on purchasing my dress on the first day of wedding dress shopping. I typically don't make quick decisions, and I like to think about big purchases. I had selected two other bridal salons in southern CT to visit that day, as well, under the assumption I would keep looking. That was just not necessary! Before meeting with Denise, she sent me a link where I could "favorite" several dresses in my price-point. This allowed me to show her what I was looking for, but also get an idea of what I could expect to find within my budget. She selected dresses from this list as well as others she thought I would like. I wasn't entirely sure what style I wanted, and so it was helpful to have a stylist that could envision what the dress looks like. Each dress she selected had qualities and characteristics I loved. As I tried on each dress, she talked with me to understand what I liked and what I disliked about them. She was able to narrow down my style and eliminate/add elements of the dresses I loved. At other salons I went to, I was inundated with trying too many dresses. One salon had put me in dresses that all greatly exceeded my budget. Wedding dresses are naturally beautiful, and so it can be difficult to decide between gorgeous dresses. At the Persnickety Bride, Denise gave me several well-thought-out options to start with. She had me try on a decent selection, but just the right amount so they didn't all blur together. I didn't feel rushed, or that I was trying to repetitive dresses. Each style was different enough that I could reflect on the overall look and consider it as a unique option. My one recommendation is this: Be open to trying on different styles. Before shopping, my only criteria was that I wanted a dress with sleeves or some semblance of sleeves. As I tried on dresses, Denise's daughter found a gorgeous strapless dress for me to try on. Looking at it on the hanger, it had every quality I loved about the dresses I tried on. There you go. That was the dress. I knew as soon as I stepped into it that it was coming home with me that day! Denise (and her daughter!) has a vision. Because she LISTENS to you and understands you, she's able to make phenomenal selections. In the end, that's what made it a great experience. Everyone wants to feel heard, and especially brides trying to find the perfect dress for their day. I just did not know much about wedding dresses. Denise listened to what I liked and didn't like. I felt like in the short time I spent with her, she began to understand my personality. As a result, I walked away with a gorgeous dress that I ADORE well within my budget. My one piece of advice for brides: START your wedding dress shopping experience here. You won't regret it!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Dear Caroline - thank you so very much for your beautiful testimonial. Everything you said is exactly what I want to achieve in each and every appointment. You were very thoughtful in each and every dress you tried on. I love when a bride "takes in the dress" and thinks through each dress she tries on. I feel when people really think about a dress they can usually visualize and get the idea of what they should feel like in their wedding dress. I also thank you for expressing your experience in other shops. We believe we are a very different group and one that tries every day to make everyone's experience wonderful!!! xoxo Denise, Aeryn and Emily

Supportive, Helpful and wide collection of gowns!
I couldn't be happier with my bridal experience at Persnickety! Denise and her team held multiple appts for me and my family in their salon. Denise was patient as I tried on different styles of gowns and helped me narrow down what I felt the most beautiful and confident in. Throughout the process I truly appreciated Denise's suggestions and her honesty as I tried to figure out the style and silhouette that I wanted. What I also loved about my Persnickety process is that these ladies also helped me pick out my bridal accessories that matched best with my gown - I picked out my veil and hair jewelry here as well! Highly recommend checking out The Persnickety Bride not only due to their wide collection of gowns, but the help and support you receive here is unmatched elsewhere!! Thank you Persnickety (:

The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Awww Emily - you were an absolute joy to work with here at the Persnickety Bride. We had a ton of laughs and you did work through a number of silhouettes to find "The ONE" and OMG you looked absolutely beautiful on your wedding day. The custom hair piece from our milliner was perfect. It looked so gorgeous in your hair. I'm very pleased we went that way. I can't wait to post it on our Real Brides section of the website. Thank you so much for your friendship, laughter and joy. You are the best and you know I absolutely loved working with you!!! xoxo Love Denise and the ladies at The Persnickety Bride

Amazing Experience at The Persnickety Bride!
I had the most amazing experience at The Persnickety Bride! When we went in for my appointment, we were immediately greeted with Denise's warmth and excitement. She had already pulled several dresses that I had seen on the website and wanted to try. Since my wedding was coming up in just two and a half months, she called her vendors to make sure that she only pulled samples that she knew she would be able to get in time. Prior to my arrival, I shared with Denise clear criteria for what I was looking for, and she listened to my requests. I tried on several dresses that were absolutely beautiful... but they didn't feel like "me" -- despite being exactly what I had asked for! I was feeling a bit confused and discouraged, but Denise brought in one last dress and said, "Humor me and just try this one on." I was skeptical because it has some elements that I had specifically told her I did not like, but I trusted her and tried it on anyways... and I absolutely LOVED it! I was shocked. This woman worked her magic and picked exactly the dress that suited my body type, my vision for my wedding, as well as how I wanted to feel on my day. Throughout the whole process, Denise was kind, encouraging, patient, and eager to help me achieve my goals. She clearly has a passion for her business and her enthusiasm is contagious. I will recommend Denise and her team to any of my friends/family who are preparing for their weddings. Thank you to the whole team at The Persnickety Bride!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Rachel is a total love. I so enjoyed being around her and her mom. She is such a down to earth person and is planning a small intimate wedding with her fiance and family. In my heart I really knew the dress that would be her dress. I waited on pulling it because Rachel was pretty sure she wanted a dress with as little structure as possible. In the end, I did pull our Marissa dress that is just a gorgeous fit in flair with amazing boning and structure in the bodice. As soon as I put this dress on Rachel knew it was the one. Elegant, natural, with beautiful lace, lines that highlight the body beautiful and a stunning (but not to big) train - this non sparkle dress off the shoulder showed her beautiful decolatage perfectly. Rachel has great height - and my god she looks like a goddess in this dress. so so lovely. She has the cutest little pixie cut as well - so it just went so well with her personality and need for beauty and elegance. Stunning simply stunning. Rachel - I loved when you came back with mom and your godmother to pick up your dress - I am so excited to see pictures of your ceremony. Thank you for coming and becoming a Persnickety Bride. I loved having you as a client and am so happy you are part of our family of brides! xoxo Denise, Emily and Aeryn

The Persnickety Bride is FABULOUS!
Denise at the Persnickety Bride is an absolute GEM! She is bubbly, she is vivacious, and she is passionate about finding you the best gown to fit your figure and personality. I tried on about 10 gowns and then found The Dress, and she was as excited as my Mom and I when we found it. The shop feels intimate and we were the only people in the shop for our appointment. Additionally, I wanted to try and find the same lace from my dress to make my veil and Denise and her assistant Emily followed up multiple times with the vendor to source these and get pricing for different options. I didn't end up going that route for my veil but I really appreciated their prompt responses and help following up. I'd highly recommend Denise and her beautiful store if you're looking for a personal and relaxed experience shopping for your gown. I also wanted to thank Denise for her approach and body positivity vibes! I was anxious about finding a dress that would feel like "me" and that I wouldn't feel self conscious in, and honey let me tell you, Denise is 1000% supportive and positive for you. I really appreciated that and she made the appointment so fun. Thank you Denise!!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
OK Sabrina - you just made me tear up!! You are a beautiful young lady and what makes me so annoyed in the bridal business is that instead of making everyone feel beautiful - including all our gorgeous curvy girls - some shops don't carry sizes to be able to serve curvy brides. I am all about having each and every bride and mom look and feel their most beautiful self on that special wedding day. We look at the bride. We listen to the bride. We look at the brides shape.

The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Codie - I had such a great time with you and your "bride tribe" I am over the moon that you found your gorgeous wedding dress with us. You are such a sweet bride and I am so happy you felt comfortable with me ( I know I can be a little boisterous ) but you were a super trouper and I couldn't be more tickled that you found your namesake dress! Thank you for letting The Persnickety Bride be part of your journey! xoxo Denise

The best experience!
Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. It is a small shop (in size, but not dress stock!!) so you get a really personal boutique experience. Their price ranges were very reasonable for my budget and, very importantly for me, the experience was fun, positive, encouraging and NO pressure or hard sales tactics. I knew going in I was going to sleep on the decision regardless and ended up going back another day to make the purchase. They are a dream to work with and helped me make a custom change to my dress that turned out beautifully. They made sure my request was super clearly documented for the designer.
Highly recommend putting this shop on your list when you’re looking for a dress!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Dear Brittany - I was so thrilled to put your dress on you yesterday. Now I have to admit I did forget that it was your back that we moved up. So I too was pleasantly surprised because we do enough customs that I sometime forget who's dress I do the custom on. It looks absolutely beautiful on you. It was perfect. I am so thrilled the way it came out and taking a picture helps me show brides how this can look when we do a custom higher back on that dress. Thank you so much for the lovely review and for becoming a Persnickety Bride. If you need anything else please let me know. xoxo Denise

Literally amazing in every way!
I honestly cannot say enough good things about The Persnickety Bride. I honestly loved this store and Denise (the owner) THAT MUCH. I had a strong feeling I'd find the right dress there the moment I walked in the door. I'd already been to a couple of bridal stores, but nothing fully "clicked" for me before Persnickety. Plenty of dresses had looked good and other owners were also nice, but no owner compares to Denise. Her store is beautiful and filled with incredible quality gowns, but it really was the kind of service she gives that I've never gotten anywhere else (bridal or otherwise). She set me up with an online lookbook before my appointment so I could identify dresses I like (however many or few you want!) and then she had those ready for me when I arrived. She took the time to have a quick zoom pre-meeting with me so we could talk about my wedding and she could really understand me, my style, and my wedding. She clearly cares, and that's what makes her so effective at helping connect clients with their dress. She is genuinely excited for her brides, and she really knows how to help match them with dresses, be supportive of their vision, and give useful AND honest comments (but only when they're wanted). She really knows what she's doing. I genuinely believe the right dress for every bride is at Persnickety Bride. You will not be sorry if you go here!!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Claire - You and your mom were such a joy to work with today. I love how beautiful you look in your dress. It is stunning on you and of course will look more stunning when you walk down the aisle! I'm excited we can get it in before you move to Texas. Thank you for your incredible review. It really brought tears to my eyes. I can't express how much I appreciate the kind words of my clients. It pushes me forward to continue my craft in my own way and style that makes a difference in the lives of my brides and their families.

Awesome Experience!!
Denise at The Persnickety Bride is AMAZING!! The shop is about an hour from my house but I knew it was all worth it as soon as I stepped foot inside. She makes the experience fun and comfortable and helped me find my dream dress.
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Haleigh - Thank you so much for your amazing review. Yes we are an hour away from where you live. Last week we were 6 hours away from another bride!! We are blessed to have brides come to us from Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and of course Connecticut! Our goal is to always make our brides feel welcomed, loved and heard during their wedding dress journey! I loved working with you and your awesome family. We had such a great time!! I can't wait to see your beautiful dress come in and see you all again! xoxo Denise

Loved every minute!
This is a one of a kind shop. I knew from the energy as soon as I walked in that I'd be purchasing my dress from The Persnickety Bride. The one-on-one appointments offered a much more intimate experience than other shops I've been in. Lori was so sweet and funny as I tried on dresses; she was honest, patient, and knowledgable. As for Denise- she is highly passionate, genuine, and she truly runs a beautiful shop. She took the time to send me kind messages before my appointments, which really helped to calm my nerves. This type of quality is unmatched! I'm so grateful! (and props to Denise's daughter for helping!)
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Erica you looked stunning in your dress. I am so happy with the fit and how joyous you look in it. If you need anything you know how to reach us. Thank you for your lovely review. It means so much to me, Lori and the rest of our staff. xoxo Denise

Amazing experience
Denise and the whole team at The Persnickety Bride were top notch and so great to work with. I was introduced to the shop as they were a retailer who carried the dress that I had been dreaming of. I started my dress search at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, so I was nervous that I wasn't going to be able to get my dress in time, however, they handled the situation like true professionals. Prior to meeting in person, Denise set up a Zoom appointment to discuss my tastes and style preferences. She took the time to show me gowns on mannequins, which was super helpful in determining which dresses that I wanted to try on at my in person appointment. I had such a fun time during our Zoom appointments and in person appointments to try on dresses. Denise really knows her stuff, and not to mention is so fun to work with. She truly cares about her brides. I can't recommend Denise and The Persnickety Bride enough, you will not be disappointed!
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Niki - wow - how many times can I say wow - putting your dress on you yesterday was beyond amazing that dress - was just wow. We know its a great dress but you were absolutely stunning - you know we are totally here for you if you need anything else for the wedding. Thank you for the awesome review. I live every day for my girls (and you know you are MINE once you are a Persnickety Bride you are always a Persnickety bride) - my job is to see you smile from ear to ear and have people gaze at you on your wedding day - and say - wow she looks stunning.. I want it to be the happiest day of your life and create the memories and pictures that will last a lifetime of love, marriage and family. xoxo Denise

Amazing Experience
Denise is absolutely amazing! Not only is she quick to respond, BUT SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES! Her passion and joy completely comes through in ANY interaction you have with her. Even in setting up my appointment, I knew Denise would find my dress. The weeks leading up to my bridal appointment sold me on becoming a Persnickety Bride well before I found my dress. Denise makes you feel like valued as a customer and like one of her long-time friends right from the start. A truly unique experience - Denise takes the time to get to know you before your appointment so when the day comes, she knows your style and it’s really like hanging out with your close friend! Not only that, but I fall more in love with my dress each day. Great selection. Gorgeous dresses. Amazing experience.
The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Your joy this past weekend in getting yourself measured for your beautiful custom Lea Ann Belter dress was magical. You and your mom were so excited to move on to the next step in your wedding gown journey. I loved your shoes and they were perfect for the dress. I can't wait to see both of you again. Thank you for the beautiful testimonial - I am just so happy to have all my beautiful brides glowing on their wedding day. Anything I can to to make it the best day ever - I am there!!! xoxo Love Denise
