Country Bridals & Formal Wear

en I prompted but wasn’t overly pushy about anything at all. Would highly recommend.

do alterations and pick out accessories but I didn't have a dress. Mind you I had already paid in full. Another bridal shop shared my predicament in an online forum and Cathy responded to the distress signal in less than 3 hours (and it was after hours for her timezone)! She had the same model dress on her showroom floor, in my size, AND even on sale. Within less than 24 hours Cathy found my dress, texted me pictures, packaged, and rush shipped the dress to me. Not to mention, I live in SEATTLE, WA and she's in Jaffrey, NH. I wish I could leap through the phone and kiss her I'm so pleased. Do yourself a favor and shop at Country Bridals and Formal Wear: they're simply the best in customer service.

hen I needed guidance they were more than happy to make suggestions and give advice. I found the dress of my dreams at Country Bridal and enjoyed the experience. Their alterations were affordable and the dress was flawless. Thanks Country Bridal staff! Danielle (Cormier) Smith

tment, I had my own dressing room and staff member helping myself, mother, mother in law, and MOH pull dresses off the rack. It was fun for everyone to get their hands on the dresses and bring them into the dressing room. We all felt we had a great experience shopping at a small boutique. Cathy was phenomenal when it came time for alterations. She made sure I was 100% happy with the dress before we left. She also took the time to offer suggestions regarding how/when to bustle the dress and recommended having someone as your designated "dress fluffer" before walking down the aisle. I would highly recommend Country Bridals to anyone shopping for a wedding dress.

in the slightest, and the customer service was phenomenal. I came in thinking I knew exactly what I wanted, and after trying on lots of options that Vicki pulled I ended up going with a completely different style! She knew me better than I knew myself! I couldn't have been more satisfied with my experience.

are about each individual!

needs!

lly paid attention to what I said I liked and didn't like about every dress. I'm a bigger girl, and yet that was never an issue as they had many samples in many sizes. If it didn't fit they were more than willing to pin me or clip me so I could see the dress, and worked within my budget. I also had a tight timeframe, and they were able to check what dresses would be available in time. Very knowledgeable. Every trip to this store was a pleasure and worth the hour drive. They were friendly, and put up with my indecision very well. It was a big decision and they were super understanding and helpful. When it came time for alterations they worked with me to get everything right, and held the dress until a few days before the wedding. The girl I worked with for alterations was wonderful, and super helpful. I never once felt like they didn't want to help me . I was very apprehensive about dress shopping, especially after having a poor experience at some other bridal shops. Country Bridal made up for it and more. I honestly wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

with many short, tea length, or high/low dresses. They had so many great options for this type of look! I will definitely be back!

ey were very nice and accommodating to me. My mother and bridesmaids had very different experiences with them. I had 9 bridesmaids, 6 of whom were out of state, so they called and gave their measurements verbally. Their dresses were disasters. Two of them needed major reconstruction because they either could not get their dress on or they could but had trouble breathing. Two others were too small. When my mom, who is very non-confrontational, went to the store and explained this to them, they were rude and told her that the store was not responsible for weight gain (none of my bridesmaids or had gained any weight). They later told us that the particular designer ran small (why they didn't tell us this beforehand really ticks me off because that could have saved us a lot of trouble). My sister, who is local and had her measurements done in the store, had to go somewhere else to have her dress taken out because they told her it couldn't go out any more even though she literally couldn't breathe. I'm am very unimpressed with the service at Country Bridal.

y dress is absolutely amazing! They even made sure that when my family came to visit me they were welcome as well. The ladies kept me in constant contact and had unbeatable prices! I would definitely recommend them for your dress needs on your special day!

ut if you are looking for a wedding dress.

that I'm a size 4! They completely tailored the dress to fit me perfectly, and I picked up the dress the next day at noon!! I never once felt rushed or felt as though I was putting them out in any way. They were gracious, happy, positive and wonderful!! I loved their honest approach and sincere care they took to make me happy. The best part?? My dress was amazing!! It fit my personality to a tee.....was "adorable," beautiful and just perfect. If I could give Country Bridals 10 stars instead of 5, I would!

happy with this salon & my experience there. Thank you all!

had six people with me. The alterations were perfect, the dress was amazing, and I would HIGHLY recommend that everyone go there for their wedding dress!

they told me was that they do there alterations by wedding date. I only had my dress hemmed and a belt tacked on, but I had to wait till a week before my wedding to pick it up. I will say when I picked it up and had my final fitting the dress was a tad long and the women fixed it right then and there! I would highly recommend this shop to anyone!

special!!

able to try on dresses with my mom and family. Thank you for helping me find my perfect Casablanca dress.

t above and beyond what I expected. The owner was really nice and helpful too. Thank you ladies sooo much for all your help.

ve'; I felt taken care of and as if I were the only client they were working with. You will have a very personalized experience if you chose Country Bridal. Country Bridal offers fair prices and you will have the backing of talented, caring and knowledgeable staff to help you work through any hurdles and also to celebrate each successful step of the wedding gown process with. They go above and beyond and are so wonderful to work with. Thank you Country Bridal!

I never once felt rushed. I found my gown, bridesmaid dresses, and tuxedos all at Country Bridals! I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know who is getting married! :)

tuxes we would have gotten them from Country Bridals, too. I am obsessed with my dress and I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone!

ed at several, but not at Country Bridals. Ultimately, I found a few different dresses I liked, all of which Country Bridals carried, except the one I liked most. But, I went back to Country Bridals because I enjoyed my experience there most, and since they carried the designer, they informed me that I could purchase it through them (they also had the best price!!!). Ideally, I wanted to try on my top choices side by side, so they went above and beyond and custom ordered my "top" dress so that I could try it on in there store alongside the others I liked. They carry great lines and have a TON of absolutely stunning dresses. The associates are all warm and friendly and kind, helpful but not pushy. I never felt pressured. I was able to browse and pull dresses I liked, and the associates also pulled a few that they thought I might like as well. It's a relaxed environment, I never felt rushed, and they were always incredibly accommodating. They let me take pictures of the different gowns, which was incredibly helpful since I tried on so many (some other salons don't allow this)! My bridesmaid was running late to my appointment on my third visit (when I had the chance to try on all my favorites together, including the one they custom ordered, and ended up purchasing my dress!) and they didn't mind at all that I waited for her to get there. They were very responsive over email. It's an incredibly comfortable and wonderful shopping experience. My alterations have not been done yet, so I can't comment on that yet, but will update my review after those are complete! Thanks Country Bridals!

so I decided I should make the time to visit. My mom, maid of honor and I finally took the trip out there and it was such a great experience. Adrien helped us pick out a few dresses and was great at taking feedback of what I liked and didn't like from dress to dress. She let me take my time in each dress because to me, I need to feel like this dress is the me I want to be on my wedding day. Adrien didn't rush me like I had been rushed at other bridal shops to make a decision. I got stuck between two beautiful (but very different) dresses and Adrien took the time to help me see what the whole picture would like on the day. I was still struggling to pick so Cathy and the staff were kind enough to let us run down the street (an adorable small town main street) to eat lunch to think about it. When we came back the decision came easy. Country Bridal also has a nice collection of bridesmaids dresses that my maid of honor tried on hassle-free to get an idea of what she looks good in. I'm so glad I took the trip out to Jaffrey to visit Country Bridal. I was worried that I wouldn't get the sparkly dress I hoped for, but I found it surprisingly affordable there in Jaffrey. It may be a little out of the way, but it was such a lovely day trip with the shops around town and fun events on the town square. We had a great lunch topped off with some amazing pumpkin whoopie pies for dessert. We've made the trip out there twice so far and both times it's been worth while. Thanks so much Country Bridal!

ofessional and knowledgeable. There was a large selection of styles from a number of designers. Adrien listened to what my daughter had envisioned for her dream dress and found it. Well, actually she found TWO gorgeous dresses that she loved. The hardest part was choosing THE perfect dress. The staff worked it out so we could go to lunch and return later that afternoon to make the decision. It was exactly what my daughter needed to pick her perfect dream dress as the decision was quick and definitive. From start to finish we have warm, wonderful memories of this special day. It was well worth her trip from Chichester, NH!

hey had a variety of styles and designers. The alteration made my dress very comfortable and the perfect fit. It was a wonderful experience!

riendliness and service. Thank you for our fabulous wedding day attire!

out (as she had gotten her dress from there, and was STUNNING BTW!) I went in there with not a lot in mind. I had no idea what i wanted, what color, what size i was, what details i wanted, absolutely NOTHING. i tried dresses on, all of them were absolutely gorgeous. but this one in particular. lace top with a ballroom gown, was beautiful, i automatically knew it was the one for me. They stood me upon a stool and told me about my dress and were very accommodating. they let me pay for my dress in increments, they sent me cards, emails, and even called me on a weekly basis to tell me about my dress and ask how i was doing. They are so caring, passionate about their job... its just a fantastic place!

y own! Kathy and her team are AWESOME! The store is great, set in the beautiful town of Jaffrey, that I now call home! I would highly highly recommend this store for anyone's wedding gown, mother-of-the bride/ groom gown, bridesmaid dress etc... you want it, they've got it!

lutely can't recommend Country Bridals highly enough! Here's the short version of the story: I had tried on and liked several dresses at Country Bridals about a year before my wedding, but (unfortunately!) I decided to purchase a dress at a different bridal shop in the area. Bad decision. A month - a month! - before my wedding I still had no wedding dress from the other bridal shop (which shall remain nameless). This was NOT my fault; I had ordered my dress WAY in advance and had paid a 50% deposit. I don't know about you, but I'd guess that most brides expect to have their dress come in a lot earlier than that. It turns out it was due to a HUGE error and ABYSMAL communication on their part. Apparently, my dress had been ordered and was ready and waiting at Allure Bridals FOR MONTHS, all the while the nameless bridal shop was telling me that my dress just wasn't in yet (foisting the blame onto Allure which was just plain WRONG). I will spare you the rest of the unbelievable and stressful details of my attempts to work with this other bridal shop. Ultimately, I contacted Country Bridals in a panic about a month before my wedding, and Cathy was able to work some kind of magic! I was able to purchase my dress - the one that was ready for me at Allure - through Country Bridals instead. Cathy not only had my dress shipped from Allure to Country Bridals within a week, she also quickly scheduled a fitting for my alterations (which were thankfully minimal) and completed them quickly. I still ended up getting my dress way to close to the wedding for comfort(it was ready a week before my wedding day, and my Mom picked it up literally two days before the wedding). In the end, I did get to wear the dress I originally wanted and ordered, and it was all because Cathy was willing to help me, an unknown, stressed-out, disillusioned bride. She and her staff were professional, courteous, and did their ABSOLUTE BEST to handle a bride and mother-of-the-bride who had been sorely disappointed and majorly stressed out by the other nameless bridal shop. If this is how Country Bridals handles a last minute, completely insane situation, I can only imagine how pleasant it must be to work with them in a normal wedding timeline. My biggest regret is that I did not purchase my wedding dress from Country Bridals from the start. My advice for southern New Hampshire brides: if you're going the traditional white wedding dress route, do yourself a BIG favor and buy it from Country Bridals!!!!

s, a beaded belt and my mom's dress too. All of the alterations were perfect and the bustle of my wedding dress was so pretty! You wouldn't believe that this amazing store exists out in Jaffrey. Check it out-you won't be disappointed!!

it was very defeating to go into these stores and for them not to have dresses that would fit me. I went in to country bridals and dress after dress in all different styles they fit me like a glove. I was able to see how styles were supposed to fit, not just imagine, and see what looked good on me and what didn't. The girls stayed with in my budget and on my wedding day I was dressed head to toe in Country bridals fashions from veil, hair piece and dress ( i went barefoot on the beach) I tell everyone they have to go to Country Bridal!

last minute (right before my ceremony and after the last try on) however that made the dress too small day of and we had to rip it out right before the ceremony. Not a huge deal but added a little bit of unneeded stress day of. Overall a great experience.

an adequate number of gowns to try on. These ladies put the first dress on her zipped it up and she walked out in a dress that fit! She tried on more until she found the right one. She had a budget and the sales woman stuck to the budget and I was able to purchase the gown of her dreams. I was so impressed with them that I purchased my dress there along with the bridesmaids and the mother of the groom. I can't say enough about Country Bridal. If you are getting married Country Bridal is the place for you!

ere that style or could be made into that style. We pulled about 8 dresses into the fitting rooms. I made it to about #6 and was sold on a long, lace gown. This was not the type of dress I would have pictured myself in, but it was THE dress (the tears from myself, my mom, my gram, and my moms best friend made that very clear). I ended up going back in a few months later for my shoes and then for my alterations, and then for my very last minute veil. They were great throughout all of it. Everything was ready on time and absolutely perfect!

ld NOT recommend them to anyone. I had to return to the shop 3 times for my hem to be corrected--and only because I said something about it being off (the bustle was a mess). I wonder if they would have let me pay and walk away with a bustle that was uneven all around the back of the dress? This all occured the week before my wedding and was quite stressful. To add to the stress of returning time after time until it was correct, at one point they had added $45 to my bill for the changes! Luckily the owner revolked those charges, but in my opinion they should have taken money off--simply due to the drive, time, and stress this mishap had on me, days before my wedding. That being said--I do LOVE my dress and it was unique and I am glad I purchased it there. I just don't recommend their alteration services.

puts the effort to find you the perfect outfits for everyone in your wedding party!

rosity and uplifting spirits. Being diagnosed with a disease before your wedding is never what a bride wants to experience but YOU all made me feel beautiful for our day. Thank you :)

nd only dress I tried. She was so great and helpful.

e perfection!! I was so impressed that we ended up doing the bridesmaid dresses and tuxes through Country Bridals as well! Even during hectic prom season, they got our dresses done right in time and the tuxes delivered! There was one vest that accidentally came in the wrong color, but the next morning the correction was in hand. Overall everything was fantastic! They were very personable and get to know you by name, they also have private dressing rooms which is a nice touch!

e an amazingly large selection of dresses and the staff is very attentive. For an out of the way location, you may not think they would have the latest in bridal trends, but I showed the staff a picture I had ripped out of a magazine and they pulled that exact dress off their rack for me to try on. They have dresses for every budget as well and two of my girlfriends that recently got married bought their dresses there as well. Their customer service is wonderful. At my scheduled appointment the staff spent as much time with me as I needed, from a 3 hour dress trying on session, to my indecisive debating if I wanted further alterations due to weight loss. Even dropping by with out an appointment I have had attention quickly after walking through the door. They not only have beautiful dresses, but accesories as well. My groom got his and his groomsmen's tuxes there as well. When the tux company sent some wrong items, the Country Bridals staff were quick to work with us to make sure we received the correct items in enough time for the wedding. I would tell anyone to shop here and only here for their dress, it is a much more personal shopping experience than the chain stores and you will be glad you shopped here!

some styles and also allowed me to browse and pick what i wanted. I tried on several dresses but dress number 5 became the perfect one. I still wanted to try other shops though and didn't buy my first day. What a mistake! I had terrible experience at a store near Portsmouth and went back to Country Bridals to buy my dress that no other store had, or anything that came close. I bought all my bridesmaids dresses there too. Everything was perfect and the ladies there are so friendly and knowledgeable. They do alterations right in store and they have very reasonable prices.I wouldn't go anywhere else for formal wear again.

roblem! I had to drive over an hour to get there, but it was TOTALLY worth it!

ere else too! Our groomsmen also rented their tuxes through Country Bridals and my mother purchased her dress there as well. A very happy bridal party!

dled the whole troop very well and I would recommend Cathy and her girls at the shop to anyone!!!

e only downside was that the alterations on my cost around $200 which I was a bit surprised about but it came out perfectly and was still a low price to pay for the dress of my dreams.

CEST staff. They give you space when you need it, and support and suggestions when you ask for it. They have a great selection of wedding dresses in all shapes, sizes, designers and styles! They also have accessories and great wedding party outfits as well! I found the perfect dress & everything went exactly as planned. If you are getting married you should DEFINITELY check out Country Bridals!

e them. Low budget? Check out their sale rack. Looking to spend a lot? They have an enormous selection to choose from. I can't say enough good things about Country Bridals.

helpful. Although the store was dead, there were numerous times that she was MIA and my friends were lacing my dresses up. Dress selection was great, but service was lacking.

ed and the ended up suggesting a dress that I looked over but it ended up being my perfect dress! I loved the overall service and quality of my gown. I also bought an artificial flower for my hair from there wide variety of hair pieces.

the perfect dress you are looking for. I would recomend them to anyone in the area that is looking for a gown that they can really be proud of. Love this store!

ut them!

are very helpful without being pushy. Had complete confidence with the fittings too.

and owner are all great and very helpful. I very seriously encourage you to give Country Bridals a try!

plus-sized designer dresses and everything in between.

resses both picked out by myself and the staff. I found the dress of my dreams and through the whole ordering, altering and try-on process the staff at Country Bridals was nothing short of fantastic. Highly recommended.

and the gown looked wonderful. For a day I got to look like a princess. This store is worth the drive.
