Had a lovely time finding my dream wedding dress! The shop is adorable. I went during a trunk sale and was able to find a dress, brand new, for 66% off! Didem was the sweetest, put...
ting my hair up and pinning my dress, to really give me that bridal moment. Their dresses look so high-end for the prices and they have a great selection.
I cannot recommend this boutique enough! From the very start, I knew I wanted to shop for my dress on my own, but thanks to the manager, Didem, I never felt alone.
Didem is truly ...
a gem, she was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive, making the entire process not just stress-free, but genuinely memorable. Her warmth made me feel completely comfortable.
We found the perfect dress, and the experience didn't end there! Didem also recommended a wonderful seamstress. The final result was everything I had imagined and more.
Thank you, Didem, for making my wedding dress journey so special!
I had a wonderful experience with Didem, she guided me to dress options that fit my body shape snd added details that just made the dress I picked even better! Just an enjoyable ex...

cial and fun! I highly recommend this boutique and I love that they carry dresses to try on for plus size people. This was the only store I went to and I found my dream dress! I also especially loved that you’re the only bride in the store during your appointment. I can’t recommend this boutique and Didem enough!!
Didem is the BEST! She was so kind, patient, and made the experience of finding my perfect dress incredibly fun. 10/10 recommend!!!
I highly recommend booking a bridal appointment at Michele Bridal- you get the whole place to yourself, and they had wonderful options. Didem was extremely helpful!

I could not have been more pleased with my experience shopping at Michele - A Bridal Boutique! The shop itself is absolutely gorgeous, and I loved all of the little decor details t...
ucked around the shop. The racks had more than enough dresses to choose from without being overwhelming, and it helped that they were organized by style and fabric when it came to choosing which dresses to try on. All of the dresses that we pulled were within my budget, even ones that I thought would be significantly more expensive. Throughout the appointment, I never felt pressured to try on dresses outside of my budget or that I didn't like, and I never felt rushed through the trying-on process.
My consultant, Didem, was incredibly sweet and helpful throughout the entire appointment. I appreciated how Didem made my mother feel included throughout the appointment, chatting with her when I was in the dressing room and taking her opinions on dresses into consideration.
After starting with a few dresses and figuring out what I liked/disliked about each style, Didem chose new dresses for me to try on that had more and more of the features I liked. She ended up pulling out my dream dress that has quite literally every single detail that I had loved on some of the other dresses! Once it was obvious that I had fallen in love with this dress, Didem styled it with a few different lengths of veils, made sure that the dress looked great and felt comfortable walking, and even took me outside for a brief impromptu photoshoot.
I truly did not expect to walk out of Michele - A Bridal Boutique with a dress that day, but I ended up leaving with my dream dress and veil along with a fond wedding memory to look back on. I couldn't recommend shopping at Michele - A Bridal Boutique enough, particularly with Didem as a consultant!
Dream wedding dress shop experience! This was my first and only wedding dress shop experience and it was incredible. The customer service and quality of dresses (especially for the...
price) is unparalleled. Didem is very attentive and lovely. She works with you to make sure you have the most beautiful experience. She pulls out all the stops and really allows you the space to make the big decision of saying YES to your dress. My bridal party had so much fun as well, I couldn't have asked for a better experience (and a more stunning wedding dress!). If you're starting your hunt for the dress, look no further. Didem and the Michele Bridal Boutique is all you need to have a seamless, unforgettable experience. 💕

ighly recommend this boutique to all of my fellow brides looking for their perfect wedding gown. Amazing experience.
I had the best bridal experience I could possibly have at Michele Bridal! Didem was absolutely wonderful. She considered the dresses I was pulling for myself and made fantastic rec...
ommendations based on that! One of the dresses she picked for me wound up being the one! I could have stayed all day trying on dresses with her. Didem’s attention to detail and knack for finding the perfect fit is unmatched. I wish I could go buy a dress at Michele Bridal for all the events in my life!
I came across Michele-A Bridal Boutique on Instagram while I was creating a list of bridal shops to check out. I reached out to Didem and she responded in a timely manner to help m...
e set up an appointment. In the email I added the type of dress styles that I am interested in.
I have never been dress shopping before so this was my first appointment and boutique that I went to. I made my appointment for a Saturday afternoon and I had 1/2 of my bridesmaids with me. Upon arrival I was blown away with how beautiful the boutique is and the beautiful wedding gowns. Not to mention that we had the whole place to ourselves, which is a plus! Didem was professional, welcoming, and so kind. She explained the process to me. I picked out a few dresses and my bridesmaids did as well for me to try on.
I quickly learned that a few styles did not fit my figure. However this one style looked amazing on me! After trying on a few dresses, I went back to the first dress that I tried on. Didem worked her magic and made me look and feel like a bride. At the end, I said yes to the dress and I can’t wait to wear it on my big day in a few months! If you’re looking for a timeless and elegant wedding dress, I highly recommend this boutique!
I just picked up my wedding dress! Didem was truly a pleasure to work with. The shop is beautiful and so are the dresses. I had gone to a few other bridal shops in CT and did not h...

y to have a truly personalized experience. The boutique was clean, beautifully decorated, and they have a selection of dresses that are elegant. Not Didem was her communication great, she went above and beyond to suggest ideas on how to make "the dress" even more magical. She listened to what I was looking for and navigated the opinions of the Bridal party/family with poise (as we all know how opinionated/emotional some people can be! Lol). It was nothing but a joyous and magical experience from start to finish. I drove over an hr each visit (there were multiple trips) and it was worth every minute. If you're in the area or even further away, this is definitely a place worth checking out for your bridal experience.
This place was absolutely amazing I will be telling anyone who asks to get their dress here! The most stress-free experience trying on dresses I've ever had! Didem was absolutely a...
mazing so professional and put everyone including myself at ease! I had an absolutely amazing experience and she helped me find the most perfect dress I didn't even know I needed! They had a wide selection of dresses to choose from and she did a great job pulling the ones I’d be interested in!
I will forever be referring people to Michele’s in Westbrook. Didem made this process incredible! She is calming and so so good at what she does! She truly cares about her brides a...
nd helped my mom and me find the most beautiful dress! The dresses here are not only absolutely beautiful but they are completely reasonable and fairly priced especially compared to the other places we looked on CT! I couldn’t be happier with my choice and recommend this boutique to anyone getting married! Thank you for making this process so incredible, and I wish we had started here from the beginning! Thank you Didem for making this experience a happy one that I will cherish forever!
Didem helped me find my wedding dress. She was the sweetest thing. She was so helpful, honest and complimentary throughout the entire visit. Michele A was the first shop I visited ...
and the very first dress I tried on ended up being "the one." The shop was adorable and welcoming. You can tell Didem truly loves her job, she is so genuine and dedicated to helping you find the right dress. Thank you Didem for all your help.

I found my dream wedding dress at Michele Bridal and I could not be any happier with my experience! Didem was absolutely wonderful. I picked out several dresses to try on, she gave...
me advice on which styles to consider and try them on in a certain order to get a pointed comparison. Didem will steer you in the right direction without any pressure. Different from some bridal boutiques, you are the only client in the boutique so as a result, Didem provides you her undivided attention. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better experience, I am so happy and confident that I found my dream dress. Thank you again to Didem and Michele A Bridal Boutique.

d my appointment through The Knot. Didem was very responsive and answered all of my questions as a new bride-to-be.
When my bridesmaids, mother, and future mother-in-law arrived for my appointment, Didem graciously greeted us and welcomed us to the shop. We were all very excited to have exclusive access to the shop for my 1.5 hour appointment. It really made the experience much more intimate.
I showed Didem the style of dress that I liked and she pointed me in the right direction, even making some recommendations herself. The dress that I ended up choosing was actually a dress that she had recommended! It is absolutely gorgeous! I am beyond thrilled to wear this dress next year when I say "I DO!" All of the dresses in the shop are beautiful and reasonably priced.
Didem was so very helpful with getting the dresses on/off, making them look perfect for photos, and answering everyone's questions. You can tell that she truly loves what she does and she is great at it!
I highly recommend coming to Michele - A Bridal Boutique for your dress shopping experience. Thank you so much, Didem, for your help making this day special ❤️

d truly listened to what I wanted. She wasn’t the slightest bit pushy and went out of her way with her little ‘tricks’ to make my vision come to life. All the dresses ranged from $1600-4000 and were very well organized by style! Thank you so so much Didem!!

or. There was a good selection of dresses to choose from with a lot of variety at reasonable prices. I called to schedule an appointment ahead of time and we were the only ones in the store at the time, which was really nice and personalized. We did not feel rushed at all and felt our consultant was super knowledgeable about different styles of dresses and fittings. They do not offer alterations in store but provide recommendations of local seamstresses. I would definitely recommend this boutique!

d so she helped pick out dresses she thought would suit me and I ended up trying on a handful, but bought the first one I tried on. She had a vision with a specific vail and belt that tied the dress together perfectly, all under my budget. I would recommend this boutique to everyone looking for their perfect dress. This is a comfortable, affordable, well kept boutique that even offers lavender champagne to celebrate finding your dress!

e a connection with Michele, and her personal touch and insight about the dresses made us feel like we were having a private, glamorous moment. We enjoyed lavender champagne. We found the dress. We would 10/10 recommend this bridal boutique to any bride on her journey to the perfect dress.
Oh my goodness! Ladies, if you are looking for a unique experience for finding the perfect wedding dress, look no further. Julie and her team are above and beyond exceptional. They...
do everything they can to make you feel comfortable, valued, and beautiful. I had the pleasure of working with Jocelyn and she was absolutely FABULOUS. She was patient with me and really took the time to pull dresses that had details that I was looking for. She also pulled a dress or two that she thought would look good for my body type and she was spot on! The first dress I tried on she told me had a little bit of everything I was looking for. I immediately cried with the first dress and fell in love with it. I tried on others, but the one that Jocelyn picked out first was the dress of my dreams. I felt comfortable the whole time as she helped me imagine what alterations I could do to make it the perfect fit for me. She went out of her way to find different sleeves and straps to help complete my vision. Jocelyn also picked out a veil that made me and my guests burst into tears. It was something out of a fairytale. I felt so beautiful and ready to marry my soon to be hubby. The amount of patience and understanding is what made me feel so valued at this boutique. Julie and Jocelyn did not make me feel rushed, but encouraged me to try things on and take my time. Jocelyn was a complete gem and helped me get in and out of dresses, sometimes 2 or 3 times with the same one. She helped me find the dress that was "bridal Megan" and not just an "every day Megan". The Michele Bridal team wants you to feel the butterflies of being a bride! Julie dropped by a few times to check in on me and she was so supportive and full of smiles! They truly focus on one bride at a time to make sure you feel special in this big moment. The atmosphere is simply gorgeous and makes you feel all the warm fuzzies that a bride should feel. On top of that, Michele's Bridal has connections with some of the best seamstresses in CT. They were able to call one that was closer to me and help me get an appointment with them. I am beyond thankful! Julie and Jocelyn, I cannot thank you enough for such a positive experience. You are truly touching the lives of brides with your commitment, patience, and warmth. I will cherish this experience and the memories that I have at Michele Bridal Boutique forever. Thank you!
