Words cannot express how deeply appreciative I am of Julie and her team! This was my first dress shopping experience- and one of the first celebrations I was able to have of my engagement during this unique time of COVID. Julie took such care ...
to help us ensure that all of my loved ones could participate in my day, even if they couldn't all attend in person. She started my dress shopping off with the most personalized experience ever I had, taking note of every detail and vision I had in mind. She treated us to the most AMAZING lavender champagne that made us feel so relaxed and helped bring an extra special feel to the day- one we didn't get anywhere else we went! Then, Julie helped me try on dress after dress after dress. She never rushed us, took the time to explain what made each dress special, and helped me understand exactly what I was looking for. I felt beyond comfortable. She let me take as much time as I needed to reflect and make my choice, which meant the world to me as a first time shopper. Julie and her team felt like part of our family. She took time to speak with my friends and family who were only participating through FaceTime, making sure they could see all the details too. I left the appointment moved beyond words at the care Julie and her team gave us. She re-inspired me, setting me off to do some more wedding planning with so much excitement. And, she brought all kinds of joy to our day. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a dress. You will get so much more than a shopping experience- it truly was a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life!

The conversation felt like we had known each other forever. She interacted so good with my mom,mil, and daughter. And the second visit with my girls was just as great.

I tried on some stunning dresses - Julie's impeccable eye for detail when buying guarantees that you will fall in love with whatever she puts you in - but there was one dress that was the clear winner. When Casey added the right veil and accessories I felt like a million bucks! Bottom line: This is the PERFECT place to find your dress.

dding dress, I had to find something quick. I had actually tried on my dream dress in NYC where I live but it came with all sorts of charges and was frankly out of my budget. I called around to almost every wedding dress shop in the city and none of them had it. I then just started calling to neighboring places until I found it at Michele's! Julie took her time of the phone checking if it was in stock and then Face Timed with me to make sure it was indeed the dress I was looking for and then she told me price. I totally cried I was so happy! She went close up on the dress to show me the details of the ends and straps and to assure me it was in good quality then walked me though all the pricing and how everything was going to be shipped. I truly am blessed to have found her and this place. So glad I was able to support a small boutique store!

et with Julie for my appointment. Before even looking at dresses we sat on the couch, sipped lavender champagne and she listened to my whole dress hunting fiasco. I showed her pictures of gowns I’ve tried on, and what I liked and didn’t like about them. She very obviously was paying attention because she pulled about 6 gowns. And in that selection, WAS MY DRESS! I’ve been searching for months and have tried on at least 3 dozen dresses and felt like I’d never have that “this is it, this perfect” moment. I continued to try on the other gowns in the selection, but as we both knew, I ended up back in the one I loved. She called the designer to confirm they can make the gown with split sizing (I’m chesty with no hips), she measured me, put me back in my gown and took pictures and videos of me from every angle. I can’t say enough about how amazing my experience was and I couldn’t be happier.

I can't begin to tell you how amazing my experience was with Julie and Michele A Bridal. I don't live close to Westbrook, and what originally brought me here was they had my favorite designer, Stella York. This was the first shop I went to to ...
begin my wedding dress hunt and from the moment I (and my ridiculous number of guests-8!) walked in the door, we felt like family. Julie was so welcoming and even had lavender champagne waiting for each of us. What’s really nice is they only do one appointment at a time, so it’s a more personalized experience and not as overwhelming. What I also liked was there’s a separate changing room with a full wall mirror that helps you see a dress from all angles before walking out to show your entourage. I tried on a bunch of dresses, some that I absolutely adored, but since it was my first shop, I wanted to shop around to make sure I wasn’t missing out on anything. Luckily Julie completely understood how important that was and I knew if I didn’t find a dress anywhere else, I’d return. After visiting about 5 other shops, none of them compared to my experience at Michele, and I came back to say yes to the dress this past weekend! I’m the most indecisive bride ever and I was so torn between two completely different gowns, but Julie did not give up on me and had all the patience in the world. Every bride deserves the experience Julie offered, I literally can sit here and type forever on how much I adored her. Julie remembered everything that I shared with her, from my style to what I do for work, It felt like I've known her for years. She is so beyond knowledgeable of the bridal field and gave the best advice in the most genuine way, she’s the perfect mix of professional and fun. She helped me pick an amazing dress and in the process I gained a special friendship and a fantastic bridal experience. I am so happy to be a Michele A Bridal bride and plan to recommend her to everyone I know! My sister and another friend said they can’t wait to get engaged just so they can come shop with Julie! I wish I could give her 10 stars, she’s truly beautiful inside & out!

I wish I was exaggerating when I say that I tried on 100+ dresses all over the state of Connecticut before finding “the one”. Needless to say, I was very particular in what I was looking for in a gown and I admit to being a less than desirable ...
customer. I had my heart set on a specific Enzoani gown when I first went to Julie who sadly had to break the news to me that the gown wouldn’t be available in-stores in time for me to receive it and have it altered by my wedding date. Although this was devastating news to accept, Julie painstakingly stuck with me for MONTHS while I continued to shop around for dresses. Not only did Julie provide me with constant updates as to the status of the dress I was hoping for, but she also saw me for fittings on several occasions in the interim and offered me many suggestions from other boutiques by different designers. This is how I knew Julie was a keeper; She wasn’t just in it to make a sale, she genuinely cared about me finding the perfect dress. Julie went above and beyond any expectations I had when it came to dress shopping. She was BY FAR the most personable, knowledgeable and patient person I worked with (and trust me, there were many). I knew that I wanted to make my final decision with Julie because of how invested she is in what she does, so it definitely eased my stress and anxiety when it came to making that final decision. When it got down to (literally) the last minute for me to order a dress, Julie contacted me and told me that my dream dress had arrived earlier than the previously anticipated December date. I honestly couldn’t tell who was more excited: myself or Julie. She did everything in her power to obtain the unobtainable and miraculously she was able to get the dress into the boutique just in time for me to order it in time for my wedding date. There are no words to describe how grateful I am for the level of service Julie provided to me from day one. I cannot express enough how thankful I am for everything she has done for me during this entire process.

es within my budget. She was complimentary, courteous and, above all, kept my budget in mind. I had a blast trying on dresses of all styles and shapes. Julie let my family's and my opinions take center stage and pulled additional dresses based on the feedback. We were about to end the appointment empty handed, when Julie honored the request of my aunt to grab a dress she had been eyeing for me. Julie gave her a little pep talk since it was such a different style than what I was leaning towards and put me in the dress. It was this dress that led to Julie pulling out the perfect dress. She added a veil and that was it. Time flew by. We could hardly comprehend that we spent nearly 2 hours in the boutique. Julie was tons of fun and never pushy. She's not about getting a sale, she's about every bride finding the perfect dress for her in her budget. I highly recommend Julie at Michele- A Bridal Boutique for the one of kind appointment and special attention every bride deserves! I cannot wait to go back to try on my dress when it comes in and to go shopping with my mother for her MOB dress.

ess & happened to see Julie of Michele - A Bridal Boutique on Instagram attending that specific designer's upcoming 2020 collection show in Cancun. I sent Julie a message and she responded that same day! We scheduled an appointment upon her return. From the moment I walked into Michele - A Bridal Boutique, Julie provided Class A service - from the champagne (with hints of lavender) to her bubbly personality & welcoming spirit; she made my dress shopping experience fun & exciting with NO STRESS! She had the dress I requested ready & available for me to try on along with similar styles. Needless to say; I purchased my first choice and felt great with the decision made. Julie @ Michele - A Bridal Boutique took the stress of wedding dress shopping away. She listened & fulfilled my needs & wants in a wedding dress. I would recommend all brides to visit Michele - A Bridal Boutique for your wedding dress & MOB dress needs💖

This review is long overdue. Before going to Michele - A Bridal Boutique, I went to two other places. In the very early stages of wedding planning, I went to David's Bridal and it was the worst experience and I left crying. The second I went t...
o another local salon in Mystic, CT and the styles were both not what I was looking for (a classic A-line) but also in typical runway dress sizes (I'm a size 12 for reference). I almost bought a dress at this salon simply because it fit and was vaguely what I was looking for. Not ideal. Then I went to Michele - A Bridal and met Julie. I went dress shopping alone to all of these salones and M-ABB but Julie was the most welcoming. She provided honest feedback and was able to quickly read when the dress wasn't what I was looking for. When we actually found my dress she even suggested I try on more dresses in every style (she has so many styles!) to make sure it was "the one." And it really was. I could accurately see how every dress fit because they were all in my size or larger. I probably tried on 30 dresses but it didn't feel like it and it was the most fun. In addition to buying my dress there I also bought my accessories from Julie. First of all, she makes you feel like a princess. Second, it is such a great experience. You don't have to worry about whether or not it goes with your gown by guessing or constantly trying it on at home, because it's all right in front of you. It really reduced my stress of accidentally ruining my gown and was again, really fun. Long story short, Julie is what you're looking for in a bridal salon. She's welcoming, warm and kind. Her dresses are all update in styles that all range from mermaid to ballgown, pricing and sizes. And the whole experience is a really thoughtful towards each bride. 100/10 would shop there again.

must. I accompanied my daughter on her scheduled appointment with Michele - A Bridal Boutique on February 9, 2019 & as a mother, it was literally everything I dreamed of for my daughter! From the moment we walked into the boutique, till the moment we left, my daughter's every need was attended to, as well as myself & our other guests. From the welcoming champagne toast, to the tissues & hug right at the exact moment they were needed...there was literally nothing I would change about the day and/or experience, I had the pleasure of witnessing & taking part of with my daughter. Every dress selected for her to try was EXACTLY what was envisioned. In the end, my daughter found THE dress...the most absolutely perfect, stunning dress & it was as if it was custom made for her!!! We traveled to Kleinfeld's in NYC before this appointment. Though obviously beautiful & world renowned, we walked out without a dress & feeling as if something was missing. Kleinfeld's honestly didn't hold a candle to the PERSONAL treatment & attention we received at Michele - A Bridal Boutique. I'd give this boutique 10 stars if I could & highly recommend it to all brides. Thank you so much for making such a special day even more special!!! xoxo

She opened the dress up and we looked it over together to make sure it wasn't damaged during travel. Then she took it for the afternoon, steamed it out, and refit it to a cardboard form to make sure the shape was still there. When I came to pick it up, we looked over the dress again to agree that it was ready. When I asked what I owed, she said it was FREE! On a day she had other brides coming in, she took the time to do this all for no cost. She totally understood the stress of being a bride just days before the wedding and she went out of her way to take one trouble off my mind.

, she has a little of everything. But Julie is absolutely the star here. You walk in to a sign with your name welcoming you (and tasty champagne). She sat down with me and took the time to actually talk to me and understood when I said that I thought I knew what I wanted, but really had no clue what would look good on me. Other places I went the consultants just seemed annoyed that I didn’t know Exactly what style dress I wanted and rushed me in and out of dresses based on their opinion (and yes, I went to Kleinfeld’s, and HATED it there). Julie grabbed a handful of dresses and we basically started from scratch with trying one of each style and narrowed it down from there. I found my dress and thought it was perfect, except that it had thin straps that I would find a way to have them altered to be wider. Well, that night I was on the brand’s website and saw one that was my dress, just with cap sleeves! I called Julie and she put a hold on my order. We ordered the new style and when it came in it was Perfect!! I honestly think she was as excited as I was! She’s the absolute sweetest. From the moment I walked into Michele Bridal and met Julie, it felt like I was being helped by a friend I’d known for years. Since getting my dress I’ve run into another speed bump, but Julie was there 100% to help me, I never would’ve expected it. For someone newly engaged, I would say this; go to a couple bridal stores, Don’t buy anything! Everyone needs to have the experience of shopping around a little to get the whole bridal feels. But THEN, go see Julie and you’ll be blown away by the level of service and you’ll fall in love with your dress (and the wonderfully amazing Julie!). I can’t wait for my big day in less than a month, and thanks to Julie, I will be in the dress of my dreams!

Finding my dress was such a great feeling but that isn't the only thing that makes this boutique a great find and a place to look for your dress. Katherine the owner is phenomenal! She made me feel like I was her best friend and she wanted me to enjoy the moment of looking for a dress. She went above and beyond to make sure I got the veil I tried on with my dress too. She also is going to allow me to have my future mother in law come in to see me in the dress and book another appointment for me to do that in one of her busiest times of the year!
