Bridal Shops near Manchester, CT

“We were greated the moment we walked in with smiles and genuine happiness that we were there. We were shopping for my daughter who is a junior brides maid. We had Alyssa H. as our consultant. Alyssa was very happy to help us, guided us through the entire process with ease. She never once made us feel like time was a concern. Alyssa got a feel for what type of dresses we liked and went and pulled more dresses she thought we would want. We were very happy and selected an amazing dress that we wouldn't have found without the help of Alyssa. We are very happy with David's Bridal and will be back again for proms, gala's and any other dress needs we will have.Thank you for a great experience.Christine”

“If you read her website - you know she prides herself on her skill but also making wedding dress alterations stress free. I cannot tell you how happy I am that I came upon other reviews and found her. She did two dresses for me. One was a formal wedding gown from out of state purchased but without realizing the challenge of the fittings. 3 fittings later and she customized what the designer refused to do, made the train even more beautiful, and provided instructions to keep the straps in place for dancing. You could not see any evidence of the amount of lace detail she had to unsew and resew To maintain the pattern. I wanted a vintage look so she did a French bustle which - yes looked amazing- BUT the detailOf labeling the strings with words like love faith patience trust respect was so heartwarming.The second dress she took a highly beaded bodice and fit it to my shoulders and chest dimension and had this awesome idea to do a hemline shorter in front and longer on the back. I looked like ginger rogers on the dance floor!! - literally they both looked made to order for my figure”
