Very professional environment and staff, with a great selection.
the one and only place I went dress shopping. found the dress of my dreams here and the team made it easy and effortless. they gave me contacts of where to take my dress to get it altered and I was extremely happy with who they recommended.
My experience dress shopping at Abigail Bride was amazing. Their selection truly has something for everyone, without feeling overwhelming. This was the only shop I went to because I found my dress on the second trip. You have the whole shop to yourself during your appointment, and I never felt like I was being pushed or persuaded to make a decision. They don’t have in-house alterations but they made great recommendations and even gave me a discount card for the place I ended up going for alterations.
Any questions?
I visited Abigail Bridal back in August 2021. They have a unique range of dresses that are all very stunning. I felt like I was being listened to and I found my dress very quickly! My only critique is that we were told we should order the custom sizing for an extra $200, and when the dress came in it was not fit to me as it had been implied. I understand this is not their fault, and falls mainly on the designer, but I would recommend it not be suggested if it does not come in fitting. Besides this, I absolutely loved that it is a small business and that you are the only bride in there, it made the experience so special.
I cannot say enough about Abigail Bride. The very best boutique I have ever encountered. They go above and beyond for their brides .. you are not just a customer to them, you are a person! My dad was very ill when I was starting to look at wedding dresses, and I was unable to go to boutiques to look at dresses. Abigail Bride not only let us try on dresses at home, but they also came and helped me try on the dresses! It is something that is unheard of in this industry. I made sure that when I was going to buy my dress, I had to buy from them because of this amazing gesture. They gave me the greatest gift - I was able to try on dresses with both of my parents there and my dad got to see me in my wedding dress. There are no words to describe what a special experience this was.
I wanted to share my experience as a mother going to Abigail Bride. I have 4 daughters and have been all over the place with them. We got introduced to Abigail's when we needed a veil for my 3rd daughter, she ended up with a beautiful customized veil, by Emily (the Owner). Emily has an eye for fashion and is very artistic... Because of such a great experience, my 4th daughter wanted to purchase her dress there. Both Emily and Gail were there at the appointment, and it was the best experience ever! We could actually look through the dresses!!! Yesterday we went to pick up her Wedding Dress, and yet again, another great experience with Gail and Bridget. I will tell you that Abigail's service, communication, promptness, easy-going attitude, great advice, and no pressure was 100% seamless. My heart was fulfilled when I saw how happy my daughter was, knowing what her 3 sisters went through at other bridal stores. They all got to experience the vast difference in Abigail's Bridal. I want to share my experience with everyone I know, because Abigail's are worth coming in for. They have a lot of offer!
Had the best experience at Abigail! There are plenty of beautiful gowns and the whole process was smooth and enjoyable. Recommend if you’re looking for a gown that doesn’t feel so traditional.
We had such a great experience at Abigail Bride. They found all the dresses based on pictures I showed them and were such a nice group to work with! Highly recommend using them!
I had a great experience at Abigail Bride! So great, that's where I bought my dress! They do not rush you at all, they have a relaxed atmosphere and they are extremely supportive.
I couldn’t imagine finding my dress anywhere else! I sought out Abigail Bride because they carried a designer I loved. Everyone was so pleasant and the store is beautiful! Such a great experience with great people.
Amazing experience with Abigail Bride from start to finish, loved working with Bridget during my try-on experience, she let us stay longer than our original appointment which was so helpful in making my final decision! Also had a great experience during my try-on and pick up, they even rush ordered a belt for me and gave me an excellent recommendation for a tailor to do my alterations in Red Bank. Fantastic communication and service throughout! Cannot say enough amazing things about this team! Thank you all! :)
Abigail Bride provides such a fun, comfortable and intimate dress shopping experience! I love how all appointments are one bride at a time so you can take your time, relax, and enjoy the process! A great experience in the wedding planning process - I cannot wait for my dress to come in!
I purchased my wedding dress at Abigail Bride and it was an amazing experience! The shop is so cute and I loved that we were the only appointment there. The girls that worked there were very nice and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend coming here.
A small bridal shop with a good variety of wedding dresses to choose from in style and budget. The owners are quick to respond to any questions you may have and are very kind.
An absolutely magical experience! The shop is beautiful, immaculate and well-organized. Gail and Emily were lovely to deal with and so helpful in steering me toward the perfect-for-me gown that fit both my budget and tight time frame - less than 4 months! They were also very helpful with vendor referrals, notably a high-end tailor to whom I could entrust my beautiful ANDi dress for altering. Being NYC based prior to the pandemic, I had no idea where to go in NJ, so that too was also a big stress buster.
I had the best time dress shopping here!! Gail & Bridget were so helpful and accommodating - I brought a literal entourage to shop, lol, and we were the only ones in the store, which I loved! I will recommend them to everyone!
Had such a lovely experience here and would recommend anyone looking for a more intimate dress shopping experience to come here. My mom and I were the only ones in the shop and it was so relaxed and comfortable.
I had a wonderful experience at Abigail Bride! It was a very intimate and comfortable setting. I loved being the only bride there because it felt very personalized. The dresses they have to offer are beautiful and unique which was a perfect fit for our Key West wedding. Also, Emily was so nice to work with, she made me feel very comfortable and myself while trying on dresses.
Abigail Bride really made picking out my wedding dress so magical. Alexa helped me out so much and listened to everything I was hoping to find in a dress. I went from pulling a bunch of dresses to narrowing it down to 3. Finally the last one of the three I tried one we all just knew. Gail emailed me separately as well so my experience has been just wonderful. And I cannot wait to wear my dress come next year!
Amazing shop with a great selection. Very welcoming and upbeat environment. Found my dress here after searching all of NYC. Can’t recommend it more!
From the moment my daughter and I walked into this beautiful, cozy storefront we began to exhale. Lex and Bridget were amazing, very attentive and we had a great afternoon trying on stunning gowns!
We purchased a beautiful Made with Love gown and left with a smile!
I had an absolutely amazing experience at Abigail Bride. It only took one trip and less than an hour to find my dress. They had a great selection, the space was super intimate and cozy. It was a one on one appointment, they were flexible with my schedule and communicative. Highly recommend!
I had the best wedding dress shopping experience at Abigail's out of any of the stores I went to. They were kind, patient, and so helpful throughout each of my appointments. They made sure I found the right dress for me, even though it took 2 appointments and some emails in between. The space is beautiful and they have unique dresses that I didn't see a lot of elsewhere. Thank you Abigail's!!
This was by far the best experience I have ever had and/or witnessed! The store is absolutely beautiful, with so many amazing options it was almost hard to choose! Emily and her staff were so warm, welcoming and accommodating. They offered the best advice and were able to figure out what I wanted without me being able to explain it! They say when you know you know, as soon as I put on the dress that Emily actually pulled for me I instantly fell in love. And she even helped me come up with the best alternative so that I get to have the best of both worlds and please everyone… I’m telling you the girls at Abigail Bride are AMAZING!!! I also LOVED the fact that it was just me and my crew, no other brides just me, having the salon to ourselves made the whole experience that much more special, and I really appreciate that they do that. I highly recommend every bride to go to Abigail Bride, I promise you, you won’t regret it and you will walk out finding the dress of your dreams! I am honored to be an AbiGal!!!!
I can honestly say that it was a pleasure to shop at Abigail Bride. The relaxed atmosphere and warm welcome you get was a pleasant change. The salon is beautiful, and it makes you want to kick off your shoes and relax and enjoy the moment. When I accompanied my oldest daughter to her bridal appointments, they seemed to rush you and made you feel you are just a number. My youngest is getting married in seven short months. This could be a bit stressful. To add to this, she did not have a clear vision on what silhouette dress she was looking for. I though for sure she couldn’t find a dress in one night. I didn’t realize the appointment was ninety-minutes. Most salons only give you an hour, so it was a pleasant surprise. Emily and her staff are very patient and so accommodating. My daughter tried on the different style dresses until the decision on the silhouette was made. Once Emily got my daughters vibe, she nailed it!!! Emily found her the perfect dress! She gave us ideas without being pushy in any way. You could tell they love what they do, and they do it well! The happy tears and champagne were flowing. I would highly recommend Abigail’s. Thank you, Abigail’s, for making one stressed out mother of the bride a lot less anxious! Also, a girl that I work with on another floor came up to show us her wedding gown. The picture was of her in one of the gowns that my daughter tried on and I recognized the room. It was from Abigail’s. She also loved her experience there!
I cannot say enough good things about Abigail Bride! This is not your typical bridal store, it is so much better!! Between the relaxed atmosphere (we were the only ones in the entire store!) and the wonderfully sweet ladies that work with you to help you pick your dream dress, I would highly recommend if you are looking for a variety beautiful and unique wedding dresses without the pressure! Thank you again, can’t wait to wear my dress!!
After going to one of the "mega" bridal stores and feeling overwhelmed walking into Abigail was the best calming feeling. The shop is super friendly. You are able to actually walk around and look at the dresses yourself and it's just you and the bridal consultant in the shop. I found my dream dress and they referred me to an amazing seamstress who did the alterations.
I am so truly thankful for the Abigail Bride team! Authentic and personalized- the boutique atmosphere, the staff, and the selection of gowns exceeded all of my expectations! Gail is so down to earth and was a pleasure to work with. I felt valued and respected from my first email, to the day I picked up my gown. Thank you Abigail Bride!!
Abigail Bride was by far the best dress shopping experience I had! For our appointment, it was just us and Emily the owner. You can tell that she really loves everything bridal and fashion. She was so sweet, kind and genuine which made my nerves about dress shopping instantly calmer. In addition to enjoying the shop's general energy (bare feet, eclectic vintage decor, etc), I really loved that their appointments are private. Being able to shop with all of my loved ones (no maximum number of guests) without any distractions or navigating around other brides was awesome.
Abigail Bride really creates a unique and personal dress shopping experience that is absolutely unforgettable. I'm so glad I was able to say yes to the dress here!
They were so welcoming and made my experience amazing! No matter what, they made me feel beautiful and did a wonderful job politely navigating the opinionated guests that had accompanied me. They have such amazing dresses as well! You must come here!
I couldn't say enough good things about these ladies and the shop!! I found my absolute dream dress...not to mention the very first dress I every tried on. And I had to come back and bring it home with me, these ladies made everything so personal and special. I couldn't thank them enough!
YOU will not regret it, go bring your dream dress home with you too!!!
It was a great, private experience! The shop was beautiful and calming. The staff really knows their stuff and helped me find a dress that absolutely loved.
There is nowhere else I would have even considered buying a dress ! The boutique is quaint and the girls working there are fabulous. We had the most wonderful time. I highly highly recommend Abigail.
I cannot say enough good things about Abigail Bridal!! My experience with them was nothing short of incredible. Their dress selection is next level and their service was amazing. They helped me find the dress of my dreams and made me feel so comfortable and beautiful throughout the entire process!!
Picking out your wedding dress is arguably the most important wardrobe decision you'll make in your entire life! No pressure, right? Emily, Gail and the team at Abigail Bride get this! They were so lovely, organized and approached every interaction and conversation with the kindness and excitement of someone picking out their wedding dress for the first time. I always felt like I was in good hands. Their selection was phenomenal and offered a wide array of pricing tiers - which is not typical of a boutique store - and I really appreciated this flexibility. I would absolutely recommend them, and I'm already trying to figure out a reason to go back in and do some more shopping (anniversary dress???).
I wanted a Truvelle dress, and Abigail Bride was the only shop anywhere close to us that carried that line. I had a wonderful experience with Abigail Bride. All of the dresses I tried on were beautiful, and they made me feel great in them. The experience was different and better than any other bridal shop I visited. Sure enough, I got a Truvelle dress and it was well worth the drive!
My cousin/maid of honor booked me an appointment at Abigail Bride to look for my wedding dress not knowing much about the store before hand. We were so incredibly happy with the service and attention they gave to me. They are a mom and daughter duo and made us feel like family. They actually picked out the dress I said yes to!! If you are looking for an intimate experience at a beautiful, local shop, I recommend booking an appointment.
I cannot say enough great things about Abigail Bride. From booking my appointment to being greeted by name at the front door, this boutique is a true gem. I had the entire store to myself, with my mom and sister. They had comfortable couches for my guests to sit on while I tried on more than 10 gowns. They were patient, not pushy, and extremely knowledgeable. I did not feel pressure to speed up the process and their patience helped put me at ease. I found my perfect dress and am thankful for the entire experience at Abigail bride.
The women of Abigail's Bride are outstanding. They put the bride, her thoughts, and her best interest above all. They make you feel like the special bride you always dream of, on top of having the most beautiful dresses. The perfect place to find your perfect dress! I would recommend Abigail's to anyone and everyone.
Had the absolute BEST experience! Emily & Gail were so helpful, sweet & amazing to work with. They had a great selection of dresses & their store was super clean & cute. Loved the laid back feel & felt like they totally understood my vision. Truly had the best time! Can’t thank them enough & I am so so excited to get my dress!
I had the best time shopping for my wedding dress at Abigail Bride back in August. At the time, I had already been to 4 other dress shops and was very discouraged by the whole process. But, that quickly turned around when I went to Abigail Bride! The vibe is so relaxing, the space is beautiful, and the staff is so welcoming. So many of the dresses fit my vision of a unique bohemian look. I immediately fell in love with the Made With Love line they carry there. My dress consultant, Lex, was so helpful and let me walk around the shop picking as many dresses as I wanted to ensure I was happy with my choice. In the end, I did go with a MWL dress and couldn't be happier! I would definitely recommend this shop to everyone.
I wanted something dreamy and a bit off the beaten path for my wedding dress, and I knew from the selection Abigail Bride carried that it would perfectly fit my vibe. Emily was great to work with - such a calm, low-pressure environment compared to other dress shops I visited. I love my dress and would recommend them to any future bride!
I had the BEST experience at Abigail and I can't recommend them enough. I went here after a horrible experience in Red Bank and was pretty anxious after that, worried I would have a similar negative experience. However, Emily & Gail were WONDERFUL. They let me come in (after having to cancel prior due to a family illness) with my MOH and friend. I was able to shop around, try on stunning gowns and felt so special. I explained that my mom was sick with cancer and recovering from a very invasive surgery. They knew I wanted to look and come back with my mom when she was able to. They helped me find the one and allowed me to come back with my mom so we could have that experience together as well. They were attentive, listened to what I was interested in and helped me navigate something I never thought I would experience. I would absolutely recommend Abigail to anyone looking for dresses that are not as traditional, but absolutely stunning. I found my dream dress there, and my wedding song played when I tried it on for the first time - talk about a sign! When I went back to pick up the dress with my friend, they were just as excited and just as helpful as the first time I met them. I honestly can't say enough lovely things about Abigail & I love my dress!
Highly recommend !! The dresses here and so beautiful and unique. Emily & Gail are amazing and were so accommodating. I was so happy to say yes to my dream dress here.
I had such a wonderful experience at Abigail Bride. Emily and her mom were both there for my appointment and they were such a cute pair to work with. I was able to bring my sisters, mom, future mother in law, and my aunt to the appointment which was really nice. It's also a smaller boutique so you get a much more intimate vibe when you're there. They were amazing during the entire appointment and always super responsive following up. I would highly recommend Abigail Bride, it was a really wonderful experience!
Emily and Gail from Abigail Bride are fabulous! I had the best experience shopping for my wedding gown. This was the first and only bridal shop I went to, and I found my dream dress. Highly recommend Abigail Bride!
Emily and her mom made my wedding dress shopping experience take a completely 360. In the other shops I had been to, I didn't feel like anyone got my vision, I felt rushed, and there were many people around that I felt like I was being watched. Abigail bride has dresses that are completely unique and hard to find and that totally fit my vision. While I was there my crew and I were the only ones in the shop. We didn't feel rushed, I felt understood, and it seemed like Emily joined in my experience not just to make a sale but because she truly cared. She made me feel so comfortable even though I was nervous about my body in some of the dresses, and when I found my dream dress, I truly felt like she was genuinely excited for me. They talked me through everything, and kept me updated on the progress when there was a delay in production, and even though the pandemic they were gracious and accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I could not recommend anyone else!

From the moment I walked into Abigail Bride, I knew I was going to have an incomparable experience. I was able to bring my mom, sister, and several bridesmaids (precovid- unsure if this changed with restrictions indoors). we had the entire place to ourself and I felt so at ease with Emily. I never ever felt rushed or pressured. She allowed me to tour the store and try on as many dresses as I wanted. Then, when I narrowed it down I tried a few on again. This was my first experience trying on dresses so I knew I wanted to be sure I had found the one (which I had!), so I went elsewhere too. NOTHING COMPARED. Not only did I find my dress there, my experience at Abigail Bridal was easily one of my favorite party’s of wedding planning/ experiences. Their dresses and styles are eclectic, affordable, and the quality is outstanding. I LOVE my dress and I LOVE Abigail Bridal. Unmatched experience and bridal shop!

Thank you Gretchen! xo
When I first got engaged, I had in mind that I was going to look at a few different dress shops. I found Abigail Bride on the knot, and I decided to set up my first appointment to look there. It was the best experience for bridal dress shopping! Being it was by appointment only, I was the only client in the shop, and I felt like that made the experience of trying on dresses better (and safer). I tried on at least 8 different dresses, and I was so torn between about 5 of them. I was so pleased with my experience at Abigail Bride, I didn't bother to even look at any other dress shop! I said yes to the dress in the summer or fall of 2019, I went back in February 2020 to pick up my dress, and I decided to purchase my veil there as well! My veil was ready to be picked up almost 6 months ago, but due to everything going on I haven't been able to go pick it up, and Emily has been more than happy holding it there for me! Prettiest dresses and the owners are so nice!! 100% customer satisfaction!
Response from the Vendor on 10/18/2020
Thanks Arielle!! Your veil is safe and sound :) Let us know when you'd like to visit again!
From the start Emily and Gail made my dress shopping experience a breeze. They were both so sweet and extremely helpful. The shop itself couldn’t have been cleaner, was beautifully decorated, and had a fantastic selection of gowns. I would absolutely recommend this to all future brides to be looking for a non-traditional dress.

Thank you Ashley!! Don't forget to send us photos!
I LOVED Abigail bride. It was so special and comfortable to be the only appointment in the store. Emily and her mom were nice and welcoming and I did not feel pressured at all. I actually had them order a dress I tried on in another store from a designer Abigail Bride also carried. They charged my the split sizing for the dress at cost, they matched the price of the store where I originally tried the dress on. I highly recommend Abigail bride. Their taste is amazing. The decor of the store, the amazing dresses they choose. Love Abigail Bride

Thanks Stephanie! We love you too :)
I had my very first dress shopping experience here yesterday and it couldn't have been more wonderful! They have a truly gorgeous selection and were so sweet!
They gave me a tour of all the dresses and information about which ones were customizable/came in other colors right off the bat. Then I was able to pick all the dresses I tried on myself rather than having them pull a bunch of things for me that I wasn't really interested in. I was so nervous going into this appointment because I'm in the middle of losing weight and have been very self conscious about my size for a while. I was open with them about my weight loss journey and everyone was SO complimentary when I had dresses on. Even the couple dresses that we couldn't fit over my hips, they would explain that the sample sizes were just really small (aka you're not the problem, the dress is). I felt beautiful and cared for the whole time. I wasn't quite ready to purchase since it was my first appointment and I have 14 months until the wedding so I can't speak to the measurement/purchasing process. They offered to measure me so that future ordering would be easy, but since I am in the process of losing weight, I decided to hold off and return when I make my decision.
COVID-wise, everyone wore masks the whole time and there was hand sanitizer available, but protocols didn't overshadow my experience which I had also been worried about. Just really lovely people, beautiful clean shop, and great all around. Highly recommend!
This was everything I was looking for! I was extremely anxious about the wedding dress process but the women who work here are so laid back and easy to talk to. From initial contact on the knot to check out after finding my dress - it was an absolute breeze! I was hoping for a calm atmosphere, with boho feels, and no pressure. This is all of that plus some! Location was amazing as well. Easy parking on the side street and many brunch/restaurants walking distance from the shop! 10/10 would recommend to every bride!
What a GREAT experience we had at Abigail!! We found the calm oasis in the middle of a jungle of BAD bridal salons. Emily was so easy to work with- knowledgeable, relaxed and just a pleasure to be with. The store is beautiful and the dresses even more so! We found THE BEST selection anywhere of different designers and styles. It's such a special time ---- we thank Emily and Abigail Bride for making it that in every way!
Abigail was nothing short of amazing!!!!! Emily makes the experience so easy and fun! I was very nervous about going to find the gown I would be wearing for the best day of my life and they made my experience wonderful. I was not overwhelmed at all (a big fear of mine seeing my girlfriends go through the process at places less personal). Every dress they had I truly LOVED! It was nearly impossible to choose from. Needless to say, Abigail was THE BEST!!!!
Abigail saved me when I hit rock bottom in dress shopping. Prior to Abigail, I visited 4 shops and had no luck finding what I wanted - an ivory or white dress that covered my chest and didn't have any bling or lace. Unfortunately, I only saw the opposite everywhere I looked. To top it off, my date was just 4.5 months away, and every bridal attendant told me that further restricted my dress options. I was having a North Carolina beach wedding and wanted something simple and classic. I thought that would be easy to find in New Jersey where I lived, but I quickly realized it didn't exist. Until Abigail. My girls and I were looking online for designers that made dresses similar to what I was searching for, and we saw that Abigail was one of the designers' stockists. We called and the owner, Emily, squeezed us in with an appointment that same day after hours. When we arrived I found my dress in a matter of minutes. Abigail featured a dozen or so unique designers that I hadn't seen anywhere else, and all of them were able to be hand make and ship dresses within my timeline, with more than a month of time for alterations. Emily told me how she had similar struggles finding her own wedding dress, which inspired her to open Abigail. I felt so at home the moment I walked into Abigail, and was thrilled I didn't have to go to Manhattan to find what I wanted, or cave for something I didn't want. I seriously don't know what I would have done if I didn't find Abigail. I can't recommend Emily enough and encourage anyone looking for a dress of any style to try Abigail first - you can find anything there across the designers sold and won't have to go anywhere else! Plus, the shop is absolutely adorable and cozy and sweet. Thank you Emily!!

Sarah!! You are the sweetest. Thank you so much for your kind words. We were so happy to help you find your dream dress and you totally rocked it!! XO
I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Abigail Bride! My shopping experience was relaxed and super fun! Once we established a budget, the Emily was extremely knowledgeable about the designers and what styles from each designer fit our budget with no pressure to move it. She also made some awesome recommendations on fits/fabrics to go with the venue/aesthetic for the big day. I am from out of state and the Abigail Bride team was wonderful at keeping in touch and letting me know when my dress had arrived (earlier than expected!). Overall it was a perfect and intimate experience with an awesome team, I definitely recommend booking an appointment!
I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Abigail Bride. After I set up my appointment, Emily, the owner, emailed me with a survey of what I was looking for, my style, and even what kind of music I liked to listen to. When I got to the shop, there was a music station on with my favorite music and I was greeted with such enthusiasm and excitement! Emily helped me choose dresses to try on that were in my price range and that were the style that I was looking for. I bought the first dress that I tried on!
When I picked up my dress, Emily and her mom were just as excited as I was! They made me feel so special. I would recommend them to everyone!
Absolutely amazing experience! If you're looking for an intimate setting with amazing dress options in the most beautiful space with amazing customer service, this place is for you!
I loved my experience at Abigail Bride! I felt like I got extra special personal attention during my appointment because they only had me to attend to. I'm a size 14 and it was also great that the shop had many dresses that actually fit me instead of having to squeeze into a size 8! My dress was amazing, came in exactly as expected.
Emily and Gail were lifesavers!! I originally ordered my wedding dress from another store in December for my June wedding - when it came in at the end of April it was NOT the same dress and needed a lot of alterations. I panicked and called Emily who quickly got me in to try on dresses the next morning. Emily and Gail were so sweet - I was there by myself since my family lives in New York, so they really stepped in to help me pick out dresses that were my style and give me honest feedback about what was realistic for my budget and timeline. Long story short, they helped me find the perfect dress!! Emily measured me and promised me we could rush it. Just 5 weeks later (earlier than expected) - the dress came in and fit me like a glove, barely needed any alterations. I honestly have no idea what I would have done if it wasn’t for them! Truly saved my wedding day!
I had such an easygoing and wonderful experience at Abigail! Emily, the owner, is professional, laidback, and super helpful. They have similar designers as you’d see in the city, but I loved how relaxed my 90 min. appointment was. The shop is trendy and unique and the inventory is a mixture of boho, romantic, and modern dresses. I’m so glad I went here and received amazing service instead of being treated like just another customer anywhere else.
Emily and her mom were so wonderful and made me feel comfortable in finding my dress for the most important day! The atmosphere of their shop only added to the whole experience. I would recommended them hands down to any bride looking for their wedding dress! Thank you so much for helping me find my dream dress!
I had the BEST experience at Abigail Bride. They allowed me to bring all 8 of my bridesmaids along which was amazing. The vibe inside of their shop is one like no other... low key and intimate. I truly felt special that day while trying on multiple dresses. Emily is the sweetest and was so easy to work with. She actually pulled a dress that I ended up saying yes to that day! I HIGHLY recommend Abigail Bride for anyone who does not want to try on dresses in a commercialized setting. Emily still follows up with me on my wedding plans and I will most definitely be returning for accessories! Thank you for everything Abigail Bride!
Right when you walk through the doors the beauty of the space and dresses immediately excite you! To add to that feeling the customer service from Emily and her team is exceptional! I had been to several other stores before coming to Abigail Bridal and there is no comparison. If I could get married every year just to wear all of the dresses they have I would!
I had the opportunity of working with Emily at Abigail Bridal, and it was such a wonderful experience. I came across Abigail because they are the only vendor in NJ that carries Tara La Tour dresses, and there was a specific dress I was dying to try on. When I reached out to them about the dress, Emily confirmed they carried TLT, but they did not have the dress in store. To my surprise though, they reached out to the designer to borrow it on loan and they got the dress in on time for me to try on the day of my appointment! I was so excited. The whole experience with Abigail Bridal and the team was so personal. You have the whole store to yourself and your bride tribe to pick out the perfect dress for one of the most important days of your life. They have beautiful dresses that are unique, and not your typical cookie cutter dress that you'd find at a bridal warehouse. Although I did not end up buying my dress from Abigail Bridal, I would definitely recommend them as a must-go-to boutique if you're in the area!
We had a great experience at Abigail Bride! The store is beautiful and the dresses are so beautiful and unique. Emily and Gail really know there designers and that is wonderful when you have questions about timing, fitting etc., We had a hard time picking the right dress because there were so many that looked beautiful on her. I am sharing with everyone looking for that special dress to make an appointment and relax and enjoy the one on one that Abigail Bride gives you. Top notch boutique with great prices!
I originally went into Abigail bride during one of their made with love trunk shows, but found my dress in their normal collection. This is an adorable boutique right in downtown asbury park. For a small boutique they had a great selection to choose from!

I could not have dreamt of a better wedding dress experience. I felt like a queen and could take all the time I needed to find the right dress. No rushing. Me and my mom and bridesmaid had champagne and took pictures. It was the absolute best. Emily & Gail are the most welcoming accommodating and sweetest woman in the biz! They have the trendiest dresses and also the perfect classics. So no matter what you're looking for, this is the place you need to go.

Thank you Natalie, you and your family were so much fun! Please let me know if you need anything else for your big day. Best wishes for the most amazing day!! xo
I recently purchased my dress at Abigail Bride and this was by far the absolute best experience I could have hoped for. Not only is the boutique stunning; Emily and Gail are phenomenal! I loved that we were the only ones in the store and could look through all the beautiful dresses they have. I never once felt rushed or pressured to make a decision while I was back and forth between a few dresses. Emily was so knowledgeable about all the different fabrics and fits which made making a decision a little bit easier (there were so many amazing gowns to chose from!) Do NOT hesitate to make an appointment with Abigail Bride because you will be in the best hands with Emily.

If you are looking for an elegant and beautiful dress, you need to stop by Abigail Bride in Asbury and meet with Emily! Emily is so pleasant to work with and made the experience of trying on wedding dresses easy, fun and stress free. Also, you will not feel pressured at all during your appointment which is SO important. Even after the appointment, Emily was very attentive to any questions I had and always responded in a timely manner. I am so so happy that I was able to find my dress at Abigail Bride and can not wait to wear it on my wedding day!
If you are in the tri-state area, definitely make it a point to stop by this boutique. You will not be disappointed!

Thanks Crystal! You, your mom, family and friends were so fun. Can't wait to see the your photos!
I just purchased my dress at Abigail Bride, and I could not be happier. I worked with Emily and showed her a picture of my late grandmother in her wedding gown on her wedding day as inspiration, and the very first dress she recommended absolutely met that inspiration. The salon is small which I liked. I find that larger selections tend to overwhelm me. Though it is small, the selection is really beautiful, and I can honestly say that every dress that I tried on was really beautiful. These dresses are anything but cookie cutter and just very different from the selection I've seen over and over again on so many sites.
