I worked with Cindy for my initial appointment and then went back a second time because I needed a little extra time to decide and be sure! Cindy was nothing short of amazing and s...
o helpful. She helped me find the perfect dress and accessories for my special day! From the second you walk into this store it's a truly special and a personalized experience. This was definitely the most amazing and special place I have been! Thank you to Cindy and ALSW team for helping me pick the perfect dress and giving us the perfect day 🤍!
Nicole was a DREAM to work with! Super easy to talk to, down to earth, didn't rush me at all or make me feel silly if I changed my mind about something. The appointment was smooth ...
and comfortable - I felt like I was working with a friend! The bridal shop itself was clean, elegant, and exactly the atmosphere I was hoping for to experience this wonderful milestone in. Can't say enough great things!
I worked with Cindy to find my Suzanne Neville wedding gown. The selections were wonderful and they made sure my dress was on time and well measured. The recommended list of tailor...
s led to our new go-to. My group and I had a lovely experience. The team at A Little Something White was patient with my indecision and made sure I found my perfect dress. I felt absolutely beautiful on my day.
I had a great experience working with Cindy this winter. She was able to pick up my style very quickly and made the experience super fun. Would recommend Cindy to any bride!
Krissy was my stylist and she was the best! She was so nice and helpful with finding my dress. She kept us in budget and let me try on my dress multiple times. The owner Ashley was...
also so incredibly nice and came up to congratulate me when I got my dress. I had a great experience and couldn't recommend them more!
Gorgeous shop, beautiful gowns and superb service! We loved working with Kim, she was fantastic! Highly recommend the shop and Kim!
I absolutely loved my experience at ALSW - you have to go here! I had been to QUITE a lot of shops so was starting to feel hopeless and they truly made the experience unlike any ot...
her - I felt comfortable, heard, and in knowledgeable hands. Their showroom is gorgeous first of all, with TONS of options for every bride, and Kim was the cherry on top. She was so attentive, warm, and felt like she genuinely cared about me as a bride. Meg was wonderful in the communications leading up to the appointment as well. Can’t recommend enough!! I loved saying yes to the dress here and cannot wait to pick up my dress.
I cannot put into words how amazing of an experience I had at A Little Something White. From making my first appointment I had an initial phone call with Meg and a few days before ...
my appointment had a call with Kim who would be the woman I worked with that day. I did not have a phone call with any other boutique, and it really set the tone for my appointment and made me feel so comfortable coming in. The moment I walked in everyone was so kind and then I met Kim, who I cannot put into words how much I love. Kim felt like family, she was SO kind, energetic and made me feel like I was her daughter. I fell in love with a dress but had two more appointments elsewhere and even though she was on vacation she still answered my email when I had a bad experience at the other two appointments and knew I had found with one at A little something white. What I also appreciated was no one pushed to make a sale, they truly wanted me to find MY perfect dress that felt like me. I came back to Kim a week later and purchased my dress. I also met Ashley the owner who again was just so kind and treated me like her daughter, as does everyone in that store. I was between sizes and they really took the time to work with the designer to ensure we were ordering the correct size. I cannot thank Kim enough, and the whole boutique for an incredible experience. I cannot wait to go back and have been recommending to all of my friends and we will be going back for Mother of the bride/groom as well as Tuxedo for the Groom fittings!
A Little Something White is THE place to get your wedding dress. The amount of care they put into finding your dream dress and how much they care for their customers is unmatched. ...
From the very first time going to the shop and trying on dresses with my mom and sister, to my gown pickup, to helping me manage through a potential crisis situation -- they were there for me and looked out for me. Even when I'd already paid for my dress they didn't leave me hanging, they were there to help me, consult me, and guide me. Truly exceptional customer service. Cannot thank Liz enough for her deep care and kindness, and Nicole for helping me find the perfect dress!
I had the absolute BEST experience shopping for dresses at ALSW. I worked with Nicole who made everything so comfortable and FUN. They have amazing dresses at every price point. I ...
could not recommend my dress shopping experience here more - has been a huge highlight for me in all the fun of wedding planning! Thank you ALSW! I want to relive it!!!
They did an amazing job, super organized, and listened to your needs.

e made me feel so comfortable, listened closely to what I was envisioning, and somehow pulled the perfect dress for me on the very first try.
She went above and beyond in every way—thoughtful, patient, supportive, and genuinely excited for me throughout the whole experience. It wasn’t just about picking a dress; it felt like I had a friend guiding me through one of the most special moments of the wedding planning journey.
Thanks to her, I found a dress I absolutely love and will always remember that day with such joy. I highly, highly recommend her to any bride-to-be—you’ll be in the best hands!
I had an absolutely amazing experience at ALSW! I was lucky enough to work with Kim, who made the entire process seamless, stress-free, and fun. She is not only incredibly kind and...
thoughtful, but also exceptionally knowledgeable. Her expertise and genuine passion for helping brides find their perfect dress truly set her apart.
Having visited other bridal shops in the area, none came close to the level of service and selection that ALSW offers. Their collection of gowns is stunning, with a huge variety of styles to try on, making it easy to explore what you truly want. I can't recommend ALSW, and especially Kim, highly enough!

that were exactly what I had in mind plus a few different ones to make sure I covered all bases. She was patient and made me feel comfortable. Ultimately, she helped me find the dress and veil that I felt confident in and excited to wear. I went to a few different shops and this one goes above and beyond.
Such a great experience! I gave some ideas about what I thought I wanted on the phone before our appointment, and the first dress they gave me upon arrival was the one I chose. Sup...

Where to start with A Little Something White?! After having an unfortunate experience at another bridal salon here in NYC, my google search took me to Dari...
en, CT. Meg called me 10 min after sending an email and she was so kind and empathetic for what my situation was. She went the extra mile to find out answers to questions I had about a specific designer and after a few phone calls back and forth, I ended up making an appointment to try on some new dresses and Meg paired me with Nicole for my appointment.
Nicole called me the day before, already up to speed on my situation and we chatted about what I was looking for. She introduced me to a new designer I had never heard of (and I had scowered the internet lol). From the second I met Nicole, I knew she and I would click. She was kind, empathetic, respectful of my budget and determined to help me find the one. On my first appointment she allowed me to peruse the racks of dresses within in my budget and after picking out a few, we got on with the appointment. She made me feel so comfortable the entire time, was easy to talk to and she went the extra mile taking photos and videos of the contender dresses for me since I came to my appointment alone. She even kept me hydrated with water throughout my appointment! Nicole truly made me feel like a queen. After narrowing down to a few dresses, I made a second appointment for the following week.
The week leading up to my 2nd appointment, I had some questions, and she answered them in a prompt and timely manner and reminded me of the prices of each gown I had narrowed down to so I could budget and plan.
On my second appointment with Nicole, I brought my family with me and once again she was just as amazing, and we narrowed down to one dress. My family still has not stopped talking about Nicole and just how incredible she was. I could go on and on, but after shopping at 8 different bridal salons in the New York City and Long Island area, NONE of them compared to Nicole and the incredible treatment at A Little Something White. I cannot recommend them enough!!
If you are in NYC, PLEASE don’t hesitate on this shop because it is in Connecticut. The shop is conveniently located right off the Darien train station which is not a far commute from Grand Central at all. Your experience here will supersede anything you will find in NYC and I can say that with confidence.
Thank you Nicole, Meg and A Little Something White for an unbelievable experience on my bridal journey. This is how every bride should feel when shopping for their wedding dress. <3

whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.
From our initial visit to the final fittings, everything was seamless. Their support and care helped us feel relaxed and confident throughout the process. Highly recommend their services!
The best experience! So many gorgeous dresses. I found the perfect one for me.
Amazing bridal boutique! A lot of different dresses, variety of designers and styles. The employees are all very friendly and knowledgeable of the dresses!

rall experience so special and fun that I wish I could relive it over and over again. Everyone should go see Nicole at A Little Something White- you won’t be disappointed :)

eptional - from the warmth she exuded to how she took time to let me & my mom browse the different dresses! Getting into bridal gowns is not easy, and she made that part of the experience just so seamless. I highly recommend Nicole and ALSW for your bridal gown needs!
This is the BEST store ever. This was my first and only store. I worked with Krissy and she was amazing. I didn’t know what to expect going into my first dress try on but she excee...
ded all of my expectations! I loved being able to browse through the dresses myself, which is very unique about ALSW. Krissy is very attentive to detail and very compassionate. During my process I was starting to feel a little defeated, trying on dress after dress, but suddenly Krissy picked out one last dress for me to try on….and it was PERFECT! She knew exactly what I wanted and made the whole experience everything I could’ve imagined and MORE!! So happy his is my bridal salon!!
It was a beautiful experience. My niece was able to come, which meant a lot to me.
I had the BEST experience with Krissy at A Little Something White! I had shopped all over NYC and CT looking for the perfect dress, but no other store or stylist delivered the upsc...
ale selection or top notch service that I received at A Little Something White. Krissy asked all the right questions, paid close attention to what I was looking for, and knew exactly what dresses to put me in. I loved being able to browse through the selection of dresses myself, but ultimately said yes to Krissy’s 1st pick for me! Throughout the entire process, she made me feel so confident and patiently addressed any questions and concerns I had. I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. Even my mom and friends commented on what a pleasure it was to work with her and how fun the experience was, especially compared to some of the other stores we visited. She really understood my vision and delivered. I highly recommend Krissy and A Little Something White!
Best experience!! What a wonderful shop. I was not planning on getting a dress but Kim picked the perfect gown for me! Couldn’t recommend this place more!
As a plus size bride, I was hesitant to go dress shopping and put it off for quite a bit. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at the A Little Something White shop. My cons...
ultant Cindy was SO lovely to work with, offering lots of helpful tips, and pulling several dresses that I was able to try on with ease. Additionally, she let me walk around the shop and see what other dresses I might want to try on, something some of the other shops in CT did not allow due to their limited plus size stock. While ultimately I ended up finding a dress at another shop, I highly recommend checking out ALSW and working with Cindy if you can. She made the appointment seamless and stress free, and was extremely kind and helpful during our time together. Definitely check this shop out!
Our experience was amazing! They have everything you could possibly need! Krissy was amazing and helped us find the perfect shower dress. We love her and the salon!
Had the absolute most amazing experience here shopping with my mom. I worked with both Chrissy and Ashley, the owner, and I cannot say enough about their thorough and thoughtful as...
sistance, positive attitudes, attention to detail and overwhelming patience! Chrissy called me prior to the appointment to hear about my personal style, wedding location and ambience and budget. From there, she was able to mention designers and styles that fit my criteria. Upon arrival to the salon, she again spent time chatting with me before walking through the racks with me and getting a better sense of my preferences. From there, the try-ons began! She was so knowledgeable about every designer and dress. Their inventory was superb and made it easy to find a perfect dress! In fact I found a few! While in between dresses, Chrissy and Ashley were so helpful in guiding me to a decision based on their expertise. After the decision making, Ashley walked us through next steps. My mom and I couldn’t stop talking about what a special experience it was. Could not recommend more highly!
The most amazing, memorable & easy experience!! I found my dress in a matter of 20 minutes! Chrissy is the best!!! She went over what I was looking for before the appointment and h...
ad the best selection for me to find the PERFECT dress and feel exactly how I wanted to feel when saying YES to the dress!!!!! Can’t recommend this place enough! So special!!!!!
A Little Something White is amazing! Nicole was my bridal stylist and helped me find my perfect wedding dress. I went into my appointment unsure of what kind of dress I wanted, so ...
she helped me pick dresses of different styles so we could see what I liked. When we eventually narrowed down the style I liked, she had incredibly helpful suggestions for how I could adjust the look of the dress to fit exactly what I wanted (thing I would have never thought of without her). I went in not thinking I would say yes to the dress but because of the incredible dress options and help at A Little Something White I said yes at my first appointment!
Nicole was the best! This was my very first appointment and best appointment that I went to in the search for my dress. She explained the process to me and really understood what I...
was looking for in a dress. Nicole was very patient, understanding, friendly, and knowledgeable. She was not pushy at all and really worked within my budget, which is definitely something you want when looking for dresses! She even squeezed me in for another appointment a couple days later, knowing that I was from out of state, so I was very grateful for that flexibility. I had a great time there with my mom and bridesmaids and highly recommend ALSW!
I had a great trial here! I worked with Kim. She was lovely and informative. There are so many beautiful dresses to choose from!

esponsive in helping me book an appointment, they even were able to move the time to allow my sister to fly in on time to watch me try on gowns.
I worked with Krissy, who perfectly understood what I was looking for from a few e-mails and a short dressing room conversation. She pulled about ten gowns, all of which were dead on in terms of what I was looking for.
She helped me advocate for what I liked the best in front of my mom and sister, which can sometimes be a tricky dynamic! But wanted to make sure that I walked away with something I truly loved! I feel really privileged to have gotten to work with her and would highly recommend the shopping experience as a whole!
Great experience!
After some post-Covid weight gain, I was really nervous about the process of trying on wedding dresses. My first appointment was with ALSW, and Cindy could not have been a nicer or...
more helpful consultant, she made me feel beautiful with every dress she selected! She was so kind and helpful, and pulled some absolutely perfect dresses for me to try on. I didn't look at the size I was trying on once! I also did not feel rushed at all during my appointment, and was able to try on a variety of dresses. ALSW has a truly beautiful collection of gowns at a range of prices. They also have gorgeous accessories and veils- although I didn't end up purchasing my gown here, I did come back to buy my veil here! Cannot recommend ALSW highly enough, especially Cindy!
The best experience shopping for the dress! Thanks to Krissy for her help and the rest of the team at ALSW.
