Like many trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic - after changing plans four times, my partner and I decided to take 2020 back and elope. I had originally wanted to get a custom dress made (I'm over 6' and have long limbs), but with this ne...
w plan I had to find a dress in a matter of six weeks. I found some (begrudgingly) that I thought would fit my picky taste - and the closest shop that carried them was Country Bridals. An hour and a half each way from me. It's my wedding day, who cares about the drive - let's make the appointment. From beginning to end I worked with Elicia and honestly, she was a pleasure to work with. She pulled a ton of dresses for me - and when I tried on my #1 pick first and uh, hated it - she had plenty for me to try on. I am not great at trying on clothes, nevermind something this important, and I get uncomfortable with feeling like "a burden" - despite my anxiety, Elicia made sure that I was comfortable and that the appointment was going smoothly throughout my 90 minute appointment. Ironically, I found a dress that I never would have picked out - and fell in love with it. (You hear things like that - that you'll 'know' when you find the dress - I always thought it sounded corny, but looking in the mirror that first time - I knew). To make a long review shorter - I had to make two more trips (alterations, and then final try on) to Jaffrey and I can truly say that those 9 hours of driving were worth it. (Even after googling my dress after my appt and realizing that my dress I had just ordered was in a shop 5 minutes from me - that's how much I liked Country Bridals). They take covid seriously, they're affordable, and the alterations were done well and very quickly. I cannot recommend them enough - if my driving that much for a dress I could have gotten closer isn't an indicator, I don't know what is. Thank you again, Elicia and staff!

try Bridal was professional and responsive about resolving the issue and ensuring I got the right gown, with the correct dimensions, as they had carefully measured and ordered. They were flexible in allowing me to come in on a Saturday for a fitting (they typically reserve Saturday for new brides). My only complaint was honestly that my custom ordered vale was not steamed or hung up, but left folded and vacuumed sealed in the package. I would have loved to have just gotten dress on my big day and not been anxious about locating a steamer :-) All around, 4 out of 5 stars even despite the setbacks. Great family owned business!

Cathy was phenomenal when it came time for alterations. She made sure I was 100% happy with the dress before we left.

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.

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.

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.

I was having a hard time finding the dress and had visited many other bridal shops in my area. I was hesitant to visit Country Bridal at first since it was a bit of a drive from my home. They carried a number of designers that I generally liked...
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!

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!

Getting ready for my wedding has NOT been easy. Before coming to country bridal i went through three dresses, they simply did not look good, didnt fit, or weren't to my standard. I received some advice from a co-worker of mine to try this place...
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!

Cathy and her team of wedding dress gurus at Country Bridals are simply amazing! They really came through for me when my wedding dress "situation" - and oh boy was it a situation - with another bridal shop became completely unbelievable. I abso...
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!!!!

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.

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!
