Michele - A Bridal Boutique

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.

akes the occasion feel so special and intimate. Julie was amazing and truly made me feel like the guest of honor. She listened to what I wanted and helped me find the perfect dress for my destination wedding. This was the first place I tried wedding dresses in and it was the last. I seriously cant hype this place up enough. You wont regret giving them your business!

iefly a few days prior, including a dress that had come in the day before my appointment. She talked us through the process and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Low and behold, the dress that had come in the day before was the one!!!! She dressed me all up with a veil and flower tiara and had the place in tears. All in all, Julie is AMAZING. I will recommend her shop to anyone and everyone that will listen to me!!

g. I have never felt more comfortable shopping and enjoyed every moment of the experience ( including the lavender champagne 🍾). I would highly recommend shopping there for you big day.

ish I could do it all again!

ding dress thanks to Julie. My dress was even more stunning than what I imagined it to be. The shop is so beautiful and perfect for an intimate dress shopping experience for you and your guests. I would recommend Julie's shop to everyone. The experience was extremely seamless and personalized to what every future bride needs at their dress appointment.

ute!!

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!

nd with her knowledge and expertise helped me to select a beautiful gown! The boutique's lovely decor, lavender champagne and the individualized attention added to the experience. Thank you! Julie for everything! You were wonderful to work with!!

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.

ble and makes you feel so comfortable while trying on the dresses. I only had a slight idea of what I wanted and she helped guide me with her expertise and experience. The small touches at this bridal boutique are what make it the best--- extremely clean and beautiful space, lavender champagne welcoming you, and 1 on 1 attention throughout your entire appt. If you want to find your most beautiful gown and feel like a princess while in the process, look no further.

e place to yourself and 1:1 attention. I ended up purchasing the gown I came in wanting to try. I also went to one of the jewelry trunk shows and it was so much fun! I definitely recommend going here for beautiful dresses & accessories and individualized attention!

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!

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.

most beautiful selection of wedding dresses, Julie made finding my dress one of the easiest, relaxed, and fun experiences. I would highly recommend this Boutique (and Julie!) to any bride or mother of the bride in search of their dress!

, and immediately felt comfortable in her boutique. I loved that you can browse thru the dresses yourself and never feel rushed or pressured to buy something. Julie made sure that I felt comfortable in my own skin & assisted me to buy the perfect dress on my wedding day. Michele - A Bridal Boutique has the best wedding dress selection for any body shape. I had a wonderful experience, and recommend this Boutique to any bride looking for a place to start in dress hunting! Thank you Julie!

le. Plus she picked out the perfect veil and headpiece to go with my dress. I can’t say enough great things about the experience. Go see Julie and get your dream dress today!

xcited!!! It was such a relaxed and low stress experience i would recommend 10/10!

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💖

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.
