I had an appointment with Yvonne this past weekend and it was amazing! It was my first time trying on dresses and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but she, along with everyone else at the store that day, made my day SO memorable! She was so professional, easy going, and never pushy. The stylist of some gowns was there and he made my day even more special with specific details about the dress and even honored me by naming the gown after me! Such a special day packed into 2 hours! Definitely would recommend to all!
I had a private champagne appointment with Emily, and it was so much fun! I was able to find my dream dress, and my fittings went great as well. Everyone was very nice every time I came in or called. I would definitely recommend getting your dress from here!
We got married back in December 2023 and having Bridal Trousseau was a positive and encouraging experience. Both Vera and Yvonne helped me immensely throughout my fittings and gave me their honest opinion. They were perfect at communicating and the process of buying and fitting into a wedding dress. In addition, their seamstress did pay a lot of attention to the details of the alterations, which needed to be thorough because I had purchased a dress and sleeves separately, and I wanted two looks for my wedding- wearing the dress with the sleeves for the ceremony at the church and also wearing the dress without the sleeves for the reception. Everything turned out perfect, and I’m so thankful for Bridal Trousseau.
I booked a champagne appointment and it was the most fun ever. We had the boutique to ourselves with champagne and snacks. It was my first time trying on wedding dresses and Jodi was wonderful. She gave recommendations and was so great to my guests. A wonderful time.
Everything about my experience with Bridal Trousseau was perfect. They went above and beyond. Their selection, customer service, everything - is unmatched. Vera was so kind and excellent. They made everything so easy. I also used them for alterations and their seamstress was great. I was fussy about the alterations and they accommodated all my requests. 100% recommend! Amazing!
I had such a magical experience at Bridal Trousseau! Yvonne truly understood my vision and brought it to life! This was my first dress shopping experience and I found my dress within 7 dresses! ✨ Yvonne was like a fairy godmother during the entire experience. She was attentive, compassionate and patient. Every single dress I tried on was a dream and gorgeous! I’m so happy I found my dress here.💖 Thank you Bridal Trousseau, Yvonne and team! I highly recommend Bridal Trousseau!
UPDATE: I'm back to say that after getting my dress altered- I love Bridal Trousseau! I just wanted to come back to thank Bridal Trousseau again! They are all so incredibly talented and thoughtful. I can't thank them enough for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you!💖
BT was my first and last stop shopping for my wedding dress. I had no idea what I wanted walking into my appointment and I was blown away by how knowledgeable, kind, and supportive Yvonne was! I genuinely could not have had a better stylist helping me! Often I would like or dislike something about a dress but couldn’t put it into words and Yvonne was able to exactly describe to me what I was struggling to explain. She was able to help me sift through dresses easily and stress-free to the point where, once she had feedback from me, every dress she pulled was something I liked! She was also able to tell when to stop pulling dresses as I was clearly going back and forth between a few. Yvonne made the whole experience easy and fun, and she never put any pressure on me at all! She was so kind, letting me stay far longer than my 1 hour timeslot, which helped give me the time I needed to find my dress! Thank you, Yvonne!
I had an absolutely amazing experience at Bridal Trousseau! Yvonne was the best! She listened to everything I wanted and helped me find exactly what I wanted. Yvonne made me feel so special and comfortable. I found my dream dress here and cannot wait to wear it!! Thank you Bridal Trousseau and thank you so much Yvonne!:)
I liked this vendor! I have not yet purchased my dress from here because I wanted to shop around at some other stores first and explore other options, but this was my first time shopping for wedding dresses and I was quite impressed! I would certainly recommend them moving forward and Jodi was great and helpful and customer service was on point. Thank you ladies for your help during a very exciting and scary time. My family was not able to be there so I appreciated the support from Jodi.
I loved working with Bridal Trousseau for my big day! I primarily worked with Vera who was wonderful and made me feel so comfortable when I was just trying things on and trying to get an idea of what I wanted. I came back with part of my bridal party and some family for a champagne appointment and had such a great time. If you're looking for a nice experience with other people while picking your wedding dress I would suggest doing this. When I came back for fittings I fell more and more in love with my dress each time. Their tailor is also excellent and by the end my dress fit me perfectly. They listened to any concerns I had throughout the process and made me feel beautiful for my big day. I would definitely suggest them if you're looking for a great one-on-one experience in a shop that isn't huge and overwhelming.
From the moment I booked my appointment, everyone at Bridal Trousseau was amazing! My consultant Jodi was kind, patient, funny and awesome!!! She pulled soo many dresses for me to try on and even let me look at all the dresses, which many other bridal stores didn’t. Once I said yes to the dress, we were spoiled with champagne and Jodi took pictures of us to celebrate! I could not recommend them enough!!!
Vera was absolutely wonderful. I booked a champagne Saturday appointment with a lot of nerves and vague idea of what I may like in my wedding dress. Vera made me feel comfortable immediately and helped me find the dress that I feel beautiful in. Highly recommend!
Yvonne was absolutely wonderful! I don't know how she did it, but she knew exactly the right dresses to keep recommending to me. She so seamlessly helped me in and out of the various options and lead me to find "THE ONE!" Thanks Yvonne and team!
My experience at Bridal Trousseau could not have been better. Yvonne made
my family and me feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. It was honestly as comfortable as trying on dresses with an old friend. She selected dresses that fit my budget, incorporated things I said (or didn't say!) about dresses I had already tried on, and helped me find a dress that made me feel beautiful and comfortable. I hope you'll consider shopping for your dress at Bridal Trousseau!
Found my dress here! Everyone was kind and extremely helpful.
I had an amazing experience at Bridal Trousseau! Jodi was my consultant and made me feel very comfortable and confident. If I had questions about different ways to alter a dress or accessories she has great recommendations, she also kept showing me styles to try based on what I was liking. This was my 4th bridal shop and I would say they had the best selection of modern/trendy dresses (within my budget) that I’ve seen. I said yes to my dress here and I’m excited for to work with them with alterations when the dress comes in. Thank you Jodi and team!
Vera was the bomb! She contacted me prior to my appointment to get an understanding of what I was looking for and completely delivered during the appointment. Every dress was so beautiful so it was difficult to choose one. She was great at helping me stay in my budget, and at giving me honest opinions to help narrow down my favorites. We ended with a champagne toast and pictures to celebrate. Highly recommend to anyone!
Highly recommended !!! I have been engaged for 5 years and we decided to get married this year ! I had never wedding dress shopped and cannot say enough about Vera at Bridal Trousseau! She communicated before my appointment and she was AMAZING during my appointment. She understood my likes and dislikes and ended up finding me something totally outside of what I thought I wanted. I said YES to the dress at my one and only appointment!
I had an amazing experience at Bridal Trousseau. Personal attention, kind and caring, not pushy at all and extremely knowledgeable. I am so excited for my next appointment.
I had a great experience with Bridal Trousseau! They have a variety of dresses and Jodi was extremely helpful. She thoughtfully selected dresses based on my feedback and was patient with me through the process. She was very knowledgeable and personable, and helped me find the perfect dress!
I got a private room and it was such a great experience. Jodi was amazing, she listen to me and kept bringing in dresses she knew I would like to try on based on what I was saying. She was very patient and knew what she was doing! My sister got her dress there 5 years ago and I said YES to the dress yesterday! Best Bridal Shop, call and make your appointment TODAY!
I said yes to the dress yesterday! With Yvonne as my consultant . She listened to all my concerns and style preferences & absolutely nailed it with a choice that I wouldn’t have eyed off the rack. I felt extremely comfortable and trusted her guidance. The shop was clean, detail oriented and a nice atmosphere; fun for the occasion!
We had a great time this weekend working with Yvonne during our Private Champagne Appointment at Bridal Trousseau. This shop had a great selection of beautiful dresses and knowledgeable consultants. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Yvonne went above and beyond helping me look at all my options, narrow down to my top picks and showing me the customizations possible to help me make a decision. She was a pleasure to work with and we appreciated the time she spent with us.
I had a wonderful experience getting my wedding dresses from Bridal Trousseau. I worked with Vera who is fantastic- she was so attentive to how I felt in every dress I tried, and she quickly picked out the exact styles I liked. Their selection is beautiful, and I was so happy with the two dresses (ceremony and reception) I purchased. The owner was very friendly and would pop by to say hello and check-in at almost every appointment. Their seamstress who I worked with was very talented and extremely accommodating, especially with the customizations I requested. Everything turned out perfectly and I highly recommend!
My stylist Zoe was amazing. So helpful and patient! Great experience.
From the moment I stepped into bridal Trousseau I knew I would find my dress. My stylist Vera, was knowledgeable, fun, energetic, personal, etc. We were able to bring the vision of my dream gown to life. I would recommend this store to anyone and everyone! They really make you feel like you’re a princess! They have a lot of dresses to choose from, and they really strive to find the dress that you feel the best in! I was able to personalize my dress and do exactly what I wanted. Thank you to the Bridal Trousseau team and especially Vera, for helping me find my dream dress and for making this experience the best that it could be!
We had a FANTASTIC experience with Bridal Trousseau! I got married on July 8th, 2022. July 2021, we booked a private appointment for a Sunday. What an amazing time! Yvonne was so patient, knowledgable, and kind when helping me find the perfect dress. She pulled SO many dresses, ensured that I was happy, and gave excellent, honest feedback. Even though it is a smaller shop, there are so many beautiful dresses. They were the only place we went dress shopping, and they took care of me for the entire process. Highly, highly recommend!
I got my dress and did all my fittings here. Really sweet small little shop that had some really great brands and tons of trunk shows. Everyone we worked with was patient and kind, and really listened to me. Really had a great experience here, highly recommend!
Bridal Trousseau was my first experience with trying on wedding dresses. Yvonne was an amazing consultant and asked me very helpful questions to find a dress that I loved! I was so happy to pick out my own dresses from the racks, but also so appreciative that she picked additional dresses for me based on what I liked. It was a Saturday morning appointment and we had the whole store to ourselves! It was an amazing experience!
I had an excellent experience at Bridal Trousseau. My consultant was extremely supportive and I loved the seating area they had for my guests. Highly recommend.
Yvonne was everything! So patient and helpful; as well as helped calm some of my anxiety being so overwhelmed with all these decisions. I ended up with a beautiful dress
An absolutely wonderful team! From the stylists to the seamstress, they will truly make you feel very special! I'm so happy I bought my dress at this salon and stayed with them for alterations and prepping the dress right up until I picked it up before the wedding. Definitely make your dress shopping appointment here!
I found my dress here! The shop was so nice, and I had a great experience with Zoe from Bridal Trousseau. The champagne toast private appointment was well worth it — we were the only ones in the back room and it felt really intimate! My guests enjoyed the snacks and they had a wide selection of dresses to pick from. Highly recommend!
Vera was amazing; she was extremely attentive, outgoing, kind, and patient. I didn’t want anything lace, floral or traditional, and she helped me “put together” the dress of my dreams. i can’t wait to go back & say yes to the dress!
I had the best experience at Bridal Trousseau! All of the staff were very nice & welcoming; even prior to my appointment they were nice & helpful over the phone. Zoey was amazing!! She truly listened to me & brought me dresses that had the features I was looking for & that were most flattering on my body type. Her tips and eye for certain details were very helpful to me and we had so much fun too! I’m happy I said yes to the dress & highly recommend this place. Thank you, Zoey! :)
My experience at Bridal Trousseau was amazing! I had Vera as my stylist and she was so friendly and attentive. She took all my feedback with the different dresses she had me try on and helped me find THE ONE! I highly recommend this place because even if you don’t find your dream dress, your experience here is guaranteed to be great.
I lost count of how many times I had to go down to try on the brides maid dress that was supposed to be finished, and nothing had been touched. There will still pins in it one time, the zipper had not been attached another, it had not been hemmed correctly... I paid in good faith for an alteration and it was an hour drive each time I had to go try it on. That would be okay if they did what they were supposed to, but each time was a waste of driving and my aggravation. They cut it real close to the wedding date because of their mistakes. Stay away for brides maids dresses! I should have been offered something off for my time.
Thank you Bridal Trousseau for giving me the most stress free experience! Your store is beautiful, your staff are so friendly and warm. From the moment I walked in I felt seen and appreciated. I worked with Yvonne and she took my half baked vision and turned it into a reality! The first dress I tried on ended up being the one I said yes to, Yvonne knows what she’s doing! I’m so excited to celebrate in my gown and am so thankful that you were my first stop. One and done!
I had the BEST experience at Bridal Trousseau! I called them looking for a specific dress. I called a bunch of places and they were the only ones who had what I was looking for! The lady on the phone was SO nice and accommodating. The day I went in, a different lady helped me but she was just as friendly and helpful! She never rushed me or my party, and patiently gave me multiple options for my look. She answered all my questions and even upgraded us to their VIP area! I highly recommend Bridal Trousseau if you’re looking for the perfect dress and service!
I had the best experience at BT! I just ordered my dress yesterday! Toni was beyond patient and incredibly helpful as I found my dream dress! We clicked right off the bat and any questions I had, she answered super honestly and calmed my anxiety as the dresses I tried on weren’t always my size. I can’t recommend them and especially Toni enough!
I fell in love first with the shop upon walking in they made you feel welcome never pressured you and my personal savior Stylist Toni was a wonder. I picked a dress and then made it totally customizable to myself and their seamstress G helped make my dream dress a reality. Best customer service and friendliest staff around hands down.
My experience at Bridal Trousseau was amazing from start to finish! Their selection was incredible, and Vera really listened to what I was looking for and made the experience so fun and comfortable. She helped me find the dress of my dreams! Highly highly recommend to any bride.
I had such a fabulous experience at Bridal Trousseau. Vera was my stylist and she was the absolute best. She understood exactly what I was looking for and each dress she brought me was better than the next. I found my dream dress at Bridal Trousseau and had the most magical expierence. It was so easy and quick and the store was adorable.
Third time was really the charm! I had been to two other bridal salons prior to Bridal Trousseau. As soon as I walked into BT I was greeted by Yvonne, probably one of the most kind/warm hearted individuals I have ever met. She was so patient, so knowledgeable, and really made the entire bridal experience. She spent time explaining different styles, different available customizations, let me browse the racks for gowns, and let all my guests choose a gown for me to try on. I did a champagne appointment and I’m glad I did. It was nice to have the entire store to ourselves. We never felt rushed, pressured, or that we were an inconvenience. Because of Yvonne, I was able to confidentially say yes to the most beautiful gown :-)!
I had a fantastic shopping experience at Bridal Trousseau and said yes to the dress! Yvonne was amazing, she helped me narrow down the dress selections to what I was looking for. She is an absolute gem to work with and really listened to what I wanted. All staff that I met were very kind and supportive. This was my first bridal dress shopping experience and I'm so happy to have chosen Bridal Trousseau, I can't thank them enough for making my dreams come true!
I initially went to a different bridal store before coming here and had a bad experience so last minute looked for somewhere else to go that day and found Bridal Trousseau with a very easy to use website I was able to book an appointment right online for later that day! I was very impressed with the dress selection they had and the stylist helping us Jodi was wonderful she allowed me to try on as many dresses an I liked and was really good at helping me narrow my search and find what I liked most! I ended up finding my wedding gown there and purchasing it. The alterations process was also wonderful the seamstress is excellent I was nervous because I lost weight and the dress ended up very big and I’m short so it needed a lot hemmed but she did amazing you couldn’t tell anything had been done to it, it was comfortable and fit perfectly, and the way she did the bustle was beautiful! Highly recommend!
Wow I said yes to the dress your professional staff and selection of dresses is amazing. Yvonne is the best so patient and helped me with every single dress she’s a keeper thanks so much girl. You made the experience just what I hoped it would be 🎉👍🏻
This place 😍😍😍 I have no words. They are simply the best. I am still in shock. I found my dream dress in just 2 hours. Ebony was the stylist a girl could only dream about. I felt so seen. I didn’t go in expecting to buy anything because I am so indecisive. But Ebony was patient and guided me through the process. She ended up showing me dresses that complimented my shape and figure. I live all the way in Texas and came up to do the bubbly appointment with my family and friends and the team still went above and beyond to make sure I found something in my budget that I loved. They were so kind and caring. I ended up tearing at the end because they made me feel like a princess throughout the entire experience. I can’t thank y’all enough for helping me find my dream dress. Thanks Ebony and Veera. Y’all are true gems 💎
I SAID YES TO THE DRESS 🤍 thank you sooooooo much to Bridal Trousseau for such an amazing experience!! I haven’t stopped staring at the pictures of my dress 😂 If you’re getting married or know someone getting married, please do yourselves/them a favor and check out Bridal Trousseau in New Haven, CT. They have the sweetest team, a huge selection of beautifully made designer dresses & they top it all off with a champagne toast. I can’t wait for our big day 🥳
And Vera was the icing on the cake. She made my experience what it was!!
I am not one to love to go shopping and try things on… Bridal Trousseau made it so fun and so stress free! The two hours of trying dresses on, they were very accommodating to all my needs! They helped with opinions and knowledge and found dresses based off whcih way my style was leaning towards! Completely recommend them!
Ahhh where to begin? I don’t wear dresses. The closest I get to dressing fancy is wearing a romper, so to say I was a bit ignorant is an overstatement. I walked in and had a *general idea* of what I wanted to wear. Eboni picked out a dress within minutes that was right within my price range, exactly as I described it, and fit like a glove. The dress I fell in love with was the 2nd dress I tried on, and the first dress she picked out for me. Eboni was incredibly encouraging, hilarious, and gave me constructive advice to make sure I was making the right decision. I’m so glad I decided to take the leap and actually visit a bridal salon because I felt like a celebrity. I can’t wait to go back! Thank you, Bridal Trousseau, for making this casual girl feel like a Queen.
From start to finish on our very long 2 year journey- Bridal Trousseau was amazing. When I went in to try on dresses they listened to exactly what I wanted and even let me look through dresses on my own, they were very helpful and kind and even made an effort to get to know me better as a bride which I really appreciated. Throughout my entire two year engagement (prolonged by the pandemic) they were incredibly responsive and helpful. So much so that I decided to do my alterations and my veil through them as well. Everyone who works there is especially warm and kind and special shout out to Yvonne who helped me find the perfect dress. (Really there were two perfect dresses and it was so hard to choose which one I wanted). I highly recommend Bridal Trousseau, especially if you want to support black businesses. And Mel- the owner, is extremely sweet and kind as well.
What an amazing experience!!!! BT has a beautiful collection of dresses. Yvonne was a delight! She was so sweet and patience. She pays attention to details and listens. It was my first time shopping and I really wasn’t expecting anything and well, I feel in love with a dress!!! I have to say that I did kept my other appointments and visited other places, but nothing compared to their service. I went back for my dress! I put it on and did not want to take it off. It’s truly was THE DRESS! Yvonne got us champagne and we toasted to another yes in my life! It was a great experience!
Yvonne was absolutely amazing! First time wedding dress shopping and that's all I needed to find my perfect dress at BT! Yvonne was so kind, patient and extremely helpful in finding a dress that fit and felt perfectly. It was such an amazing experience. I highly recommend BT to every bride! Thank you so much everything!
I had such a wonderful experience with Vera. I went in looking for one dress but open to trying on different styles. I ended up falling in love with the second dress Vera had me try on. (Which was not the dress I went in looking for) She was amazing and all the other ladies in the shop were so nice. I would definitely recommend shopping here.
I cannot say enough good things about working with Mel! My family and I had a private, 2 hour champagne appointment on a Monday and had such a great time. We walked in to find a beautiful, customized welcome sign with my name on it. Mel was so helpful in giving honest feedback on the gowns I tried on and helped me find styles that work the best for my body type and the vibe I am trying to set. Her genuine interest in what I was saying, how I was feeling, and what I was looking for simply blew me away! My group returned on Thursday of the same week for a follow-up appointment after a very disappointing experience at another salon and we had the same, wonderful experience with Mel on our second visit. The gown selection is fantastic and the salon is a very comfortable space. Mel is so unbelievably patient and kind, I can't thank her enough for helping me find the wedding dress of my dreams!
My mother and I had such a lovely experience! Yvonne was beyond kind, helpful, and courteous. She was a fantastic listener, and her patience echoed. I had a terrible experience at another store the day before, so she made this memory into a beautiful one. I could NOT be more thankful. I will certainly be sharing my dress on IG and shout out Bridal Trousseau as much as possible on our wedding day and after! Take care, everyone!
My experience at Bridal Trousseau was amazing!. Ivonne knew right the way what I was looking for, she was very sweet, caring, professional and amazing. Bridal Trousseau knows how to make you feel special every minute, amazing team. I found the perfect dress and I am the most happy bride ever!..
Fantastic experience at Bridal Trousseau! They were so accommodating when I called for a same day appointment. I loved that I was able to browse dresses by myself instead of having my "entourage" pick out dresses for me. Yvonne was so helpful in narrowing down my dress choices. I felt truly cared for during my appointment and was able to find the perfect dress!
The experience I had at Bridal Trousseau was absolutely great! Yvonne and Eboni both assisted me and they were so patient and kind and extremely helpful. They both made me feel very comfortable.
I went to this place as my last stop after searching everywhere for a dress. I almost cancelled my appointment because I was feeling so overwhelmed shopping at other places and not finding "the one". Let me tell you I am so happy I didn't cancel because I found my dream dress here! It has everything I was looking for! I decided to come back to the shop the following week when they were having their trunk show in order to get the dress at a discount. I came back with some family members that hadn't come to the first appointment so that they could see me in the dress and both Yvonne and Eboni were so accommodating. We even had a champagne toast when I finally said "Yes"!
I can't say anything about alterations because my fiancé's aunt is a seamstress and will be taking care of that for me but over all it was a great experience and I would totally recommend this place.
