Modern Bride & Formal Shop

we ordered the exact length I needed. I loved that they stored my dress to keep it safe until the week of my wedding and I could come back any time to try it on and make sure it was all set for the wedding. The staff here is so helpful and friendly which added to the experience! I highly recommend shopping at Modern Bride for your wedding dress.

d how relaxed and chill the vibe was, and did not feel rushed at all because they don’t have time limits on their appointments. Lauren really met my every need (and I consider myself to be pretty picky). I would definitely recommend this bridal shops to other brides! (And it’s in tax-free NH!)

ind you the perfect dress. One person even called a designer’s office to ask them an alteration question for me! Michayla was my consultant and I could not imagine anybody better!! She is absolutely incredible. She is kind, patient, encouraging, and you can tell she genuinely loves the work she does! The appointment started off with her asking what I was looking for in a dress and at the end we reviewed it and what she found was spot on. Due to covid safety measures, brides can’t look through the racks but do not let this deter you! Michayla really knows everything the store has to offer and picks out an amazing selection for you to try. She listens to your preferences and does everything to find your perfect dress - and succeeds!! She made me feel comfortable and beautiful in everything I tried on, even when it was outside of my comfort zone. Michayla is what made my entire experience at Modern Bride the wonderful time that it was. I never once felt pressured or as though I was inconveniencing them with the time it took me to make my decision. Michayla never made me feel rushed and she constantly reassured me that I could take all the time I needed. Modern Bride is all around incredible and you won’t regret going here to look at gowns (or anything else they have to offer). This is THE place you want to say yes to the dress!!

so at home and comfortable during your time there. They take the time to inquire what you are looking for by asking about your wedding vision in person and also with the questionnaire they send via email beforehand. Michayla brought me so many beautiful choices based on my vision that I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to choose just one! I also appreciated that she stuck to the budget we set before we started. With Michayla’s expertise and great advice, I was able to find the most perfect dress for my wedding day! I can’t wait until it comes in so I can put it on again for alterations. Big thank you to all the staff members I met and helped me along the way, especially Michayla! Highly recommend her to help you find your future wedding dress.

hile setting up the appointment. They informed me due to the new guidelines with COVID that only two others were allowed to join me that day, and honestly it was perfect! Upon walking into the bridal shop it was extremely clean, they gave me the option of where I wanted to try on as they were practicing social distancing, I was on the opposite side of the other bride who was there. Michayla was phenomenal. She took notes and listened to everything that I was looking for in a dress and then hand selected dresses for me (which was perfect so I wasn't so overwhelmed going through the thousands of dresses there!). She picked out the most amazing dresses that fit my style and my vision. I found my dress within almost two hours and I fell in love. What was more amazing was she worked her magic and was able to get it to fit within my budget! Michayla made my first time trying dresses on perfect, I could not have asked for a better experience!

to what I wanted! She was also amazing when it came to working with my family members and helping me prioritize what I wanted (above what others may have wanted for me). She also called in the store owner Renee to help figure out how to customize my dress for my needs. Everyone in the store was extremely accommodating and kind, which is particularly impressive considering the challenges that come with dress shopping during COVID. I can not recommend Modern and Michayla enough.

nce and we said yes to the dress. Would highly recommend Mikayla and Modern Bride

dress that I could take home with me that day. The woman I helped me was fantastic. I was directed to their pinterest page before arriving so I could take screenshots of what I liked. They pulled dresses for me that I saw online or that were a similar style. When I had found "the" dress, the woman recommended a style that I would never had considered but agreed to try - that was it! I bought it and I am so excited to wear it! The alterations woman also came out and advised me on what alterations I would need and an estimate of what those may cost so I knew what additional costs I would have. They also had recommendations on what colored suit my fiance could wear that would really compliment my dress. I cannot recommend this place enough!

ay different then my previous appointment, in a great way! Upon my arrival to the store the staff greeted me and were all very friendly. I was introduced to my consultant Michayla who immediately made me feel welcomed and at ease. The entire staff at Modern Bride did a great job making me feel safe and comfortable while looking for a dress during these difficult times. They had hygiene protocols and face covering requirements in place but did so in a way that was much different than my first bridal appointment at another store. I almost forgot I was wearing a mask rather than the mask being all that I saw in the mirror. Michayla and the other staff gave a sense of ease and normalcy to the appointment. Michayla was patient, positive, encouraging and lighthearted during the appointment. I never felt rushed or pressured! She showed me dresses that were within my budget and met my wedding style. I appreciate her being so conscious of my budget, as I would have been disappointment to fall in love with a dress that I could not afford. She also encouraged me to try dresses that I thought were not “my style”. I was so happy she did so because I ultimately purchased a dress that I love but never expected. Michayla consulted with the other staff who were versed in alterations to answer my questions and to provide ideas on alterations, embellishments and cost. I will be working with Modern Bride alterations team in the future to add sleeves and other embellishments to my dress. I could safely store my dress at Modern Bride for no additional cost and I was encouraged to return at any time to try on my dress again with shoes or accessories. I highly recommend Modern Bride to anyone who is looking to have an intimate and personal shopping experience that is “pressure free”. I will be back to the store with my fiancé to get suiting for him and his groomsmen which is offered at a discount with the purchase of my dress. Thanks again to Modern Bride and Michayla for making this a special and memorable shopping experience.

ayla were so helpful too! I definitely recommend visiting Modern Bride to find your dream dress. My fiancé also got his tux there and it looked amazing!!

& ultimately, I said yes to the dress! Incredible experience & I couldn't be happier with my time spent at Modern Bride, my interactions with the staff (they ALL were so sweet), & there's no words to describe how I feel about finding my dream dress!

.

ing a dress like other places I had gone. My bridal consultant was so kind and very friendly! They ran a smooth business even through COVID-19! I highly recommend!!!

Timing all the other people I wish could have been at the appointment. ( I know some shops have issues with pictures being taken.) I did not feel rushed or pushed into something I did not want. Debbie took all of my critiques about each dress and pulled dresses that matched my taste. I had so much fun and was able to find my perfect dress! The process of booking the appointment was also very easy and straightforward. They sent out a questionnaire to help the consultant know what you want before you even show up. Although, I went looking for a very specific designer I know that they have so many to choose from.

always greeted with a smile, a willingness to help, spot on suggestions and recommendations, and no sales pressure. I never once felt like I was taking up someone’s time. The hospitality and joy the consultants have in their job and the brides they help is unmatched. The shop is bright, airy, and lovingly cared for. They have a great selection of dresses, veils, and accessories. They even have special deals and discounts on bridesmaid dresses and menswear if you purchase your bridal gown with them. Cannot recommend highly enough.

was made that day. I was able to find the dress of my dreams and search further into my wedding as I looked for suits and brides maid dresses. I felt so comfortable and haven't stopped smiling since finding my dream dress! So excited to see the final product!

l and wonderful! I said yes to my dress! They weren’t all about price and pushy which was wonderful, and they made sure I was beyond comfortable in my own skin! Truly was a magical experience!

to talk through what I was looking for and see some of their dresses. Then, after stores in NH were allowed to reopen, I had an in-person appointment with Debbie when I got to try on dresses. There were some limitations. I could only bring one guest (my mom), we were required to wear face masks and we were limited in what we could touch because everything we touched had to be sanitized after we left. Debbie was great! She didn't try to sway me in any direction. She helped zip each dress, told me a little about the fit and materials, and then stepped back and let my mom and I talk through what we liked or didn't like about each gown. I took a couple hours to text photos and talk to my Bridal Bunch before calling the shop back to officially order my gown. Modern Bride was so easy to work with during this difficult time. I would definitely recommend!

amazing and made me laugh and cry happy tears (after I left). Thank you Modern Bride for a wonderful time and because of you all I said yes to the dress today!!

t dresses I picked out. Once we finally started narrowing down the style, I didnt think I would like but ended up loving, she picked out dresses that were specific to certain details I was looking for (I wanted a lace trim). Within the dresses Michayla picked out was 'the one' and I would have never found it without her! She listened my concerns as well as my fiance's throughout the whole process. She did not get frustrated and was never pushy. Michayla listened to what my fiance and I were saying we wanted and she nailed it! Definitely recommend this place and Michayla. She was like having your maid of honor or bridesmaids there without having all the pressure. I am extremely happy with my wedding dress and cannot wait for my first fitting!

r, I met Michayla, who was so patient as my sister and I went through every dress on the racks (which are organized by designer, very helpful!) and made me feel so comfortable in every dress I tried on. She is honestly a rockstar, thanks for all of your help Michayla and the rest of the staff at Modern Bride for making my dress shopping experience one to remember!

fun with it. They listened to what I liked and I didn't, pulled more dresses that they thought might fit my vision and REALLY respected my budget. It was a fantastic experience and I do recommend them to any bride, especially with their financing options and deals for bridesmaid dress/groom rental packages.

e me feel rushed or pressured like I've experienced at other wedding shops. I'm so excited for my dress to come in! Definitely recommend!!

I started looking through the bridesmaid dresses as well. All of the bridesmaid dresses and wedding dresses were gorgeous and I found the perfect dress here!

ride there! Not only was Savannah the best but everyone there was so nice and helpful as well!

nding the perfect dress. She’s totally body positive and supportive, and ultimately pulled the perfect dress for me from listening to all my feedback. The store in general has a great selection, and a couple nice perks- they’ll keep your dress there and safe all the way up to your wedding day, and the groom’s suit/tux rental is free if you purchase a gown there. Could not recommend McKayla at Modern Bride enough.

e fit of my actual dress and she was also so patient and excellent! I cannot wait to see my dress when it comes and would recommend all brides here.

d anyone looking for a wedding dress to check out modern bride!

ce so far! I always recommend Modern Bride

was hard to pick the ones I liked! Luckily, Michayla had a plan - she told me to pick 4-6 dresses, and she would pick the rest after she learned more about what I wanted. I ended up going with a dress that Michayla picked and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Michayla and Modern Bride for making the experience so easy and fun! I had a blast! :)

ridal consultant than Debbie. Debbie made what could have been an overwhelming day of dress indecision into a fun-filled day of playing dress up with beautiful gowns. Debbie listened and was in tune with my daughter's preferred styles but also encouraged my daughter to try on selections outside her comfort zone. My daughter ended up saying YES TO THE DRESS to a beautiful gown that Debbie picked out for her. Debbie also matched my daughter's dream dress with the perfect head piece. I have no doubt that my daughter's "princess moment" walking down the aisle will be everything she has envisioned since she was a little girl. Thank you, Debbie, and Modern Bride for making wedding dress shopping a memorable and (happy) tear-filled experience for not only my daughter but for me, the MOB as well. #weddingsparkleatmodernbride #looknofurther

She made the experience fun and stress free and also was the one that picked out the dress I got by seeing what I liked in other dresses.

that ease continued once we got there. I was given some time and space to look around and share my thoughts on what I was looking for. Once we started trying on dresses Michayla asked all the right questions to help figure out what was working and what wasn’t. I thought this was going to be a multi-day and multi-store process but she was able to find the PERFECT dress and made it so easy to say yes! As someone who is a little bigger people would tell me their horror stories about other stores making them feel a little ashamed of their bodies and making judgments on what they "could" and "couldn't" wear - this was NOTHING like the experience I had at Modern Bride. I never once felt rushed, pressured or anything other than beautiful. I cannot express how happy I have been with my experience so far and how excited to am to be able to wear this dress on my special day!

r every time! She made me feel so comfortable with her easy going personality and kind nature, and always made me feel beautiful in all the dresses I wore. Never did I feel pressured to like a dress or guilty if I didn’t like one, she was patient and so very kind through the many, many dresses I tried on before finding my own dress! If you’re looking for a fun, laid back, stress free experience with literally the kindest human beings ever then this is the place you want to go! Their boutique is gorgeous, the selection of dresses is endless and they have a wide range of prices to fit anyone’s budget and a variety of sizes to fit all body types. It’s amazing! Thank you so much again to everyone at Modern Bride & Formal Shop, especially Michayla, for helping me find my wedding dress! You’re the best!!

helped me say "yes" to a dress I love!!

impressed and pleased with the whole beautiful experience that I had to share!

nor and bright smile helped me feel calm and confident. The store was well lit, peaceful, and clean. I loved that my family and I had the chance to wander the aisles and look through the HUGE selection of gowns, while also having the support and undivided attention of a consultant. The gown I fell in love with was one that Michayla pulled for me, and I am so grateful that she found EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you Modern Bride & Formal Shop, and especially Michayla! You made me feel like a queen, and I can not stop smiling.

of the dresses front and back which was super helpful because so many dresses look like the other. The shop itself was pristine and the employees make you feel like every dress looks beautiful on you. Everyone was willing to help with whatever was needed. Definitely recommend this shop to any brides out there!

heard that they have a huge selection. At first I was a bit nervous because when I called, the woman I spoke to (super friendly and accommodating!) explained that they don't take appointments on Saturdays because they want to be able to help everyone, so I had imagined it would be crazy and hectic. It was the opposite of what I had imagined!! When we arrived, Delaney greeted us and she was so welcoming. She asked what styles I liked/didn't like and immediately mentioned a couple specific dresses she had in mind. I didn't think too much of it, as I just wanted to try on lots of different dresses just to be sure I found the right dress for me. Well, ultimately, Delaney was right!! I asked her after I had made my decision and she said yup, the dress I ended up choosing was one of the ones she thought I'd like. Delaney rocks!! She listened to everything I said I liked/didn't like about each dress I tried on. She was super honest when I asked her questions about fit, and how things looked on me. She really understood what I was looking for, and what I felt comfortable and beautiful in. She even made a suggestion about a veil and it was perfect with my dress! She made this whole process FUN, and there wasn't a single second that I was stressed out, felt pressured, or overwhelmed. This was such a wonderful experience that I will always remember, and I am so thankful that I made the decision to go to Modern Bride!

atient and helpful. She helped me for 2.5 hours while I tried on dress after dress, style after style. I tried on dresses until closing time. Not once did Michayla pressure me to settle on a dress or push for a sale. The last dress she pulled was the one! Not ready to settle, I left empty handed but returned within days after several visits to other bridal shops with no luck and less hospitality! I highly recommend Modern Bride, and more specifically, Michayla!

s amazing to work with! Lauren really took the time to listen to my feedback and picked out dresses that matched my taste. She was so patient with me, especially when I was torn between two dresses. She reassured me that this is a special moment and she will help find my dress. I felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout my time trying on wedding dresses. I am looking forward to having my bridesmaids and groomsmen pick out their attire at Modern Bride. I absolutely love my dress! Thank you so much!

d my dress and hopefully find my bridesmaid dresses. It was pretty busy on Saturday but Debbie was so patient with our group and really helped me out. I ended up finding my dress which I absolutely love and all my bridesmaids found theirs too! Such a great experience and they don’t pressure you here - highly recommend.

ended having the most wonderful bridal consultant, Delaney, who spent a few hours working one-on-one with me. She was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and made the experience amazing for both my mom and I. We returned tonight for a scheduled appointment (with Delaney) to purchase my wedding dress and I could not be happier with my experience. I’m so excited for my dress to come in!

opinions on the dress, but suggestions to any little details I wasnt sure about. She knew which dresses I was feeling, and which I wasn't. Could not recommend Lauren more, she was wonderful!!

e, I felt rushed, they didn't listen to me and I was nervous that this is what it was going to be like...I was so wrong. As soon as I walked into Modern Bride I felt welcomed, Michayla listened to what I had to say and asked all the right questions. She made the whole experience unforgettable and I can not say enough wonderful things. Thank you for making this experience every thing I could have ever wanted.

s free for me and my whole family. After getting a sense of my style, she chose amazing options for me in my price range, and ultimately found my dream dress. Most importantly, I loved the vibe of the store. Every employee was so positive and every bride just built each other up as we tried on dresses. I can’t recommend it enough!

ty. She asked all the right question, helped dress our bride and picked out some options her self for her. The store is easy to navigate and the seating for watching your brides is comfortable and roomy. We were all so happy that Jackie said YES to the DRESS at Modern Bride. Thank you Michayla for all your help in making this truly a wonderful, happy experience.

my mom and sister. I was able to try on the dress I feel in love with but, once I put it on, I just did not love it. I was supper discouraged but my consultant, Lauren, was amazing! She had me move forward and try on more. I couldn’t decide so they wrote my top three picks and I went home and thought about. A couple weeks later I came back with my bridal party and tried on all three for them. I definitely had some opinions but, Lauren reminded me why I loved the dress I chose and not to be pressured by everyone else. After, I came out in my favorite and I was so happy, and everyone was also happy for me! After saying “yes” to the dress, I had my bridal party try on dresses to get an idea of what everyone liked and didn’t like. We will be back to purchase the bridesmaids dresses in a couple months! And if you are looking for a great experience with a great consultant, I highly recommend Lauren. 💕

nce I thought I decided on a dress, I wavered. Irene and the rest of the staff were so understanding and accommodating. I ended up going with the dress and can't wait for it to get here.

many times I needed to make the decision. Most amazing thing, is that she provided me the dress I said YES to with only small tidbits of likes and dislikes from all the other dresses I tried on. I felt like she really made the experience one I will never forget!

ody! They don't rush you, and they make you feel like the most beautiful person in the room. On top of that, they do tuxes, bridesmaid dresses, Mother of the Bride, undergarments, alterations, etc. in-house, so I didn't need to look anywhere else for anything else we needed that day. I found my absolute dream dress at the most affordable price in the area, and got the best possible service. Thank you to the entire Modern Bride team!!

find the perfect dress. So glad I choose Modern Bride and met Debbie.

n so easy! I found my dream dress at a reasonable price! Go Lauren!

t best fit my style. By the time I had paid for my gown and booked my fittings, my bridesmaid had already narrowed their search down. We walked out of the shop knowing that we had chosen the right gowns!! When I put my gown on to walk down the aisle, I felt more beautiful than ever. Not to mention,the men were recklessly handsome in their fitted suits! I can’t thank you all enough!

h

minute. She has been such a pleasure to speak with on the phone and easing any concerns I have had.

ds, wants, and concerns and provided careful guidance. Easy and breezy, it was easy to say "YES!" with the positivity provided by everyone in the shop!

girl. Beyond working with her all the staff is great and friendly there, it is an environment that anyone could walk in there and not feel out of place. All my alterations were done in a timely manner and came out awesome. If you are looking for a place to get your wedding dress, tux for the groom and groomsmen, and bridesmaids dresses look no further go to modern bride they will not disappoint 😊

utely stunning. She wouldn’t suggest me to try on anything out of my price point, and I loved that about her! Thanks for a wonderful experience!!!!

ure out what I was looking for in a wedding dress. The second time I had Debbie as my consultant (Ashley was also there and came by a couple times to help too!). Debbie was incredibly patient with me as I decided between two dresses. I never felt rushed at Modern Bride, which was my experience at other shops. I also loved how many amazing and affordable dresses Modern Bride had to choose from. Go to Modern Bride to find your perfect wedding dress!

t, I was honestly dreading this part of wedding planning, but modern bride made this experience so positive and fun. First they let you go into the shop and actually pick out dresses! They let my entire entourage of 4 do this as well, needless to say my mom was in heaven. From there both consultants (I worked with Ashley and Savannah) were able to make recommendations and pull more depending on what I was leaning towards. Throughout my entire appointment I never felt pressured to buy, the advice and suggestions were exactly what I needed (I am not the bride the envisioned her wedding since childhood), and they managed my very assertive group without feeling pushy. Also there was no judgement when I danced, pretended to play cornhole, and pretended to play can jam in the dresses. If I could give them more stars I would!

each of them, which made it such an awesome family experience! I found the most amazing wedding dress from Modern Bridal. Everything was simple, professional and a blast! Highly recommended for any bride!

on as we walked through the door we were greeted by Michayla. She was amazing and so fun to work with. She was not only funny but very helpful with any questions I had and tying a corset! I highly recommend trying out Modern Bride! I am so happy that I did! Michayla, thanks again girl!

dea of what I was looking for, but I brought in a list of things I liked when I looked online. She pulled all of my favorites for me and was patient as one after another, they weren’t what I wanted. Then, she pulled one from the shelf that she thought I’d like, and I didn’t just like it but I fell in love. In having known me for 45 minutes, she found my wedding dress and made me feel more beautiful than I’d ever felt in my life. Every single person I’ve shown has loved it as well. I never thought they’d agree on one dress but there is no doubt with this one. She even took the time to put my dress alongside the color I was thinking for bridesmaid dresses and made a suggestion that improved my entire color scheme. Not only that, but she assisted my mother and grandmother in finding their style of dress (my grandmother even left with one). Savannah spent half her day with my family and I, which is no small feat, and she did it with the biggest smile on her face. René in the alterations department was also fantastic. I simply don’t have enough nice things to say❤️

ding dress and I truly cannot thank her enough! I highly recommend Modern Brides!

priced. I would recommend them any day! If I were to get married again I would go here!
