The Plumed Serpent Bridal

for us and every single dress was more perfect than the last. I found my dream dress. Krissy - I worked with Krissy and she feels like a best friend now. She was so kind and so smart, she read me like a book and knew exactly what to pull. She made me feel beautiful and like the center of attention. Even my family is obsessed with her! I cant thank her enough. Literally looking forward to my next appointment to hang out!!

p being the one! I used The Plumed Serpent for my alterations as well and Lyssa was amazing to work with! She went above and beyond to make sure my dress fit like a glove and that I felt 100% comfortable in it. The team at The Plumed Serpent are bridal pros and I would recommend them to any CT bride!

orgeous. I was anxious and somewhat overwhelmed by the entire process, but Krissy listened to my thoughts and made me feel so comfortable and so confident. She was patient with me and gave me time think and figure out what I liked and didn’t like on my body. She really calmed my nerves and just made the entire process fun. I ended up falling in love with and saying yes to the second dress I tried on (out of about 15!). I even cancelled 3 other appointments while I was there because I knew it was it, the dress and the entire experience just felt right. I went in having done some research and knowing what I wanted to try, but I was so impressed by the selection at the salon It felt endless (in a good way!), and Krissy handled finding what I had researched, and suggested styles I may not have thought about trying. It was so helpful! I traveled from Boston for the appointment and it was the best decision I could have made. I would highly recommend to any bride in search of their perfect dress!

lier gown that I never would have thought to try on myself. Trust their recommendations and try them! They truly were amazing start to finish, the woman who did my alterations was so kind and a pleasure to work with. My only complaint is I wish they shared more photos of brides who aren’t sample size on their social media.

ving you total privacy with your party. The manager, Betsy, is incredible in knowing when to step in and offer guidance and also when to give you/your party time. It's easy to take that for granted when it's such a smooth experience.

wn. My experience here far surpassed those at other bridal stores. I'd recommend this store to anyone looking for a fantastic selection of gowns with a fantastic team.

se they have such an amazing selection. I worked with Krissy who was super knowledgeable and immediately understood my style and what I was looking for. She was patient with me as I was very undecided about a dress and never pushy - she was amazing to work with! Highly recommend coming here to find your dress!

nd walked us through all of the details. I’m so excited I found my dream dress! This was my first time dress shopping after months of having to put off planning due to the virus, and I couldn’t have imagined a better experience. The other consultants up front were also very involved and lent their expertise and suggestions which led to discovering my veil and adding custom details to compliment my dress perfectly. Definitely recommend and hope other future brides will have the opportunity to visit!

n a dress which suit my style it was twice (yes TWICE) my budget. If you are able to magically double your budget, as well as willing to change your vision to match your consultant you will have NO problem shopping here.

in person or via email. They were always so prompt and greeted you with a smile. Lissa fit my dress to a T and was always so welcoming when going in for a fitting. I am soooooo happy I found my dress at the Plumed Serpent and would recommend to anyone looking to feel like the most special bride during that special moment of finding your dress, to go there. You will NOT regret it!

was so sweet and knowledgable and helped my sister find her dream dress! I am also getting married next year and when it was time for me to go try on wedding dresses I knew that the Plumed Serpent was my first choice! Going to try on wedding dresses during Covid is definitely different and can be a little scary but everyone at the Plumed Serpent was very careful to make it a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. I booked my appt with Krissy and I was thankful to have such a great consultant since I was not able to browse all of the dresses due to restrictions. We talked about what I wanted (and to be honest I really didn't know) and I showed her my pinterest board which ended up being a huge help. The first dress that she had me try on was the one! Krissy totally nailed it and found me my dream dress right and vail right off the bat! Krissy you are truly amazing and I am so thankful for your help and making my experience so special and fun! I went back a few weeks later for a retry because I wanted to talk with their seamstress about a few questions I had. This time I had Betsy and Lissa helping me and they both were so wonderful! They again made it such a special experience, answered all of my questions and made me fall even more in love with the dress which I didn't even know was possible. Everyone is so nice here, and you can tell that they really love helping brides find their dream dresses! Even if you have no idea what type of dress you are interested in they will help you find ones you like and feel comfortable in and will happily work with your budget. I highly recommend and cannot say enough great things!

opping. I scheduled a private bridal appointment so I could bring my bridal party and they did not disappoint. Krissy was amazing and helped me find the perfect dress! I can't wait for my dress to come in! Thank you so much for finding my perfect dress!

a lovely experience. Betsy was so helpful and answered all my questions (as small or crazy as they seemed!).

. Alison made me feel so comfortable and seemed to truly know what I was looking for in a dress. Before I could even get a thought out, she already knew what I was going to say, which for any bride, put all my anxieties at ease and made me feel like I wasn't crazy for what I wanted. I would absolutely recommend The Plumed Serpent Bridal and look forward to going back for an accessories appointment !

on dresses, and she really listened to what I did and didn't like. I think she was as excited as I was once I found the one! Krissy and Alison, the shop owner, guided me through the whole process and made sure that I was happy every step of the way. They helped me think about the whole look of the day and how my dress would fit into that, and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Lissa made all of the alterations to make sure that my dress fit perfectly on my wedding day; her skill and attention to the tiniest details made such a huge different in the fit and feel of my dress. On the day of the wedding, I felt amazing -- but I also felt like myself in every way possible, and that's entirely thanks to the Plumed Serpent. I can't recommend them highly enough!

pent, in comparison, was nothing but an excellent experience.

was working with Krissy as my stylist. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew she was going to take care of me. She was attentive, honest, personable, comforting, helpful and determined to find my dress. She asked to see photos and really heard my likes and dislikes - then we walked around the shop to pick out a few starting points. By the end of the appointment, she had uncovered three very different, but very beautiful styles. Prior to this appointment, I had wanted to change something about every dress I tried. Krissy made so many helpful suggestions and was knowledgeable about the designers. I felt at ease with Krissy and am so glad I was paired with her to find "the one". Thank you to The Plumed Serpent Bridal team for FINALLY checking "the dress" off my long wedding to-do list. Specials thanks to Krissy for her sharing her magic with me.

ke the most beautiful bride every time I went to the store. The stylists know exactly how a dress should fit a bride; the first dress I tried on was the one I ended up getting! Make sure you do the alterations on site as well. The entire are EXPERTS! Thank you again for making my day so special.

went above and beyond to make it exactly what I wanted and it came out perfect!

nd everyone at Plumbed Serpent for such an amazing experience!

ng anything out-which I appreciated. On the other hand, it was exhausting trying on so many dresses. The dress I ended up going with was one my mother found!! The dress itself was so beautiful and stunning. They truly have the BEST collection of dresses to choose from. My dress was also ready early and they were willing to hold it for a few months because I live in Boston and couldn't get down there right away. Overall, I was happy with my experience.

e perfect dress. She was very respectful of our budget too. Would 10/10 recommend! So excited for my dress!!!

nough!

ot thank you enough! I would highly recommend them to any bride, you won’t regret it at all! Kate <3

s SO accommodating and sweet, she said not to worry and booked me an appointment for the very next day. My consultant’s name was Krissy. She was extremely attentive and listened to my vision. I had three months to find a dress, so I was in a bit of a panic, not to mention the extra stress of being a plus size woman. Krissy was extraordinary!! She was kind, focused and gentle in her approach when guiding me towards other styles I hadn’t originally thought of for my body type or venue. She kept me calm and reassured me.....she said, we are not only going to find you a dress, but one you absolutely love. Krissy nailed the dress selections! She was extremely patient and sweet! And each time I have communicated with the boutique via telephone (if they can’t answer right away) they get back to me very quickly. The whole team is exceptionally professional. The boutique is beautiful, clean and spacious. Definitely worth the trip up from NJ! I LOVED The Plumbed Serpent!

e groom dress, our stylist listened and provided the most beautiful dress as if designed for her. My other sister was in search of a wedding dress. They stayed open late to meet our request. Yvette pulled one dress and then several others, but in the end the perfect dress was THE ONE. Thank you for your kind expertise.

sses and she saved the best for last! I ended up having my bridal moment and said yes to my dress! All brides should make an appointment to find the dress of their dreams!

play. Krissy is very knowledgeable and really listened to me. I fell in love with the first dress I tried on, but wasn't set on the neckline. With help from Krissy, the designer agreed to customize the dress with a bodice I preferred. Krissy never once tried to push another dress on me and I can't thank her enough for making those phone calls. I had 3 fittings leading up to my wedding and Lissa worked carefully to ensure my dress fit me just right. I am so grateful to everyone at the Plumed Serpent for helping me find my dream dress and can't recommend them enough!

best she could what my dress would look like in ivory instead of honey. She placed an entire dress under mine to give me a great idea opposed to just a strip of fabric (which another store did)! I appreciated the most close to visual I could come to and absolutely love my wedding dress. In fact, I can’t wait to make an appointment to accessorize once it comes in! Krissy is absolutely amazing and a true asset to your team. I’ve already recommended her for a friend who is a MOH in a wedding—she wanted to find good places for her bride! Thank you again for a great appointment!

ever we both knew none of them were exactly what I needed. She kept mentioning there was a dress that was supposed to be in the shop however it was not there the weekend I was visiting. The owner and Krissy both worked to make sure the designer shipped the dress to their store in a timely manner so that I was able to try the dress on within the next week. Once I was there for my 2nd trip in from the city, I walked in and was greeted by Krissy with the dress as well as an idea to try on a few more dresses that were in from the Enaura trunk show she thought I would like. We tried both on and she was right- after searching and searching I was now with Krissy choosing between two gorgeous gowns. I left letting her know I would decide by the end of the weekend. She was very communicative throughout this entire decision process and proceeded to keep me in the loop over the weekend on overall pricing for the gowns as well as the fact that the actual designer would be in the store visiting on Monday. I went in for me 3rd and final trip where I said yes to the dress and was so excited to have the opportunity to discuss the dress and alterations with the designer himself. I am so grateful to have met and had this experience with Krissy who is a true professional and made this experience completely stress free. I felt that she really listened to what i was looking for and from that point on was able to add valuable guidance and honest opinions which I could not have appreciated more. I only hope everyone else looking for dresses can have the same experience. Make sure you ask for Krissy! Truth be told I almost miss the excitement of finding a dress with her and seeing her messages pop up!

g in but her calm vibes and happy attitude put me at ease. The love she has for her job and each bride that walks through the door was obvious. After some bubbles and taking the time to learn what I wanted she pulled the most beautiful gowns. All that fit my wedding and was in my price point. She finally pulled “The One” and my heart was so happy I cried tears of joy. Everyone was so wonderful. I received a wonderful Thank You note and felt appreciated and welcomed at every appointment. My seamstress Lissa was phenomenal.I lost a significant amount of weight and she was able to get my dress absolutely perfect. She was always on time and listened to every word I said. She also wrote me a thank you note in my bag that I noticed the day of my wedding and made me smile. Do yourself a favor and make the Plumed Serpent your first and only. You will not be disappointed.

salons all over Connecticut and Boston, but none compared to the experience I had here. I had two appointments with Krissy over the span of a few months and throughout the entire process she was extremely helpful, patient and supportive. She made all the difference for me! During my second appointment I found my perfect dress and look forward to going back to find the perfect veil.

to expect since this was my first time trying in bridal gowns. I was one of the first appointments and walking in, we were warmly greeted by the staff. I was paired with Yvette whom I immediately felt like I knew her my whole entire life. She and the staff offered us champagne all day and we couldn’t be more pleased. Yvette made my whole experience. I would never go anywhere else. It was like she knew exactly what Dresses to put me in, and sure enough the first one she put me in was my wedding dress. I could not be more happy with my experience there. If you’re not going here for all your wedding dress essentials, I don’t know what you’re doing.

tle, but I also really did not want to go through this process again of gathering up my friends and family, and going through the emotions (my mom passed away a few years ago so there are a lot of intense emotions going on) all over again. I was confused by the time I got to The Plumed Serpent because what I thought I really wanted from looking at Pintrest and photos, ended up not being what I loved when I tried on similar styles previously. Yvette assured me that once she got to know me as the appointment went on, she would be able to pull dresses she thought I would either like or look great in. She pulled some amazing dresses. Ones that I never thought I would ever like ended up looking fantastic on me! Yvette was so real, personal, professional, honest, and well educated about the designers and the dresses. She would introduce each dress that I tried on as I was coming out by explaining who the designer was, their background and any other details about the dress. That was really important for me. She spoke to each of my guests and myself as if she had known us for years. The experience at The Plumed Serpent was better than I could have ever imagined. I ended up saying YES! to the first dress I tried on. Not once did I feel rushed or pressured by any of the staff. It truly was a day to remember and I'm so grateful Yvette was and is part of my story!

onal. Pat, the seamstress was also excellent. She was so kind, flexible, accommodating and is so good at what she does. I loved coming to the store for each visit. The energy the girls always had was so much fun to be around. I wish I could live in my dress!!! It was my dream dress and looked exactly how I pictured on the day of my wedding. I will for sure be putting it on around the house at least once a month ;) Make sure you check out The Plumed Serpent for a wonderful experience!!

actly what I wanted and helped guide me with her knowledge and expertise. Pat is a wizard of alterations and tailored my dress impeccably! Overall great experience! ~Karley

unity to attend an accessory trunk show where I found my accessories for my wedding day while wearing my wedding dress. It was amazing! I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day in my dress and would highly recommend this bridal salon for all of your wedding dress needs!

ll out the dress I always dreamed of. The whole team worked with me over the following months as I prepared for my destination wedding. From the accessories to alterations, The Plumed Serpent team dressed my wedding day to its perfection. I am so impressed with their professionalism and passion for every single bride that walks in their door. Thank you for everything!

dresses that she thought I would love (I did). She was positive, enthusiastic, and kind as I tried everything on and helped make the process really fun. I loved a lot of what I tried, but wasn’t totally sure about one dress. I ended up coming back a few months later (with a group of 4) for a trunk show of a designer I had loved. Alison, the owner, was super helpful, too, and I ended up finding a totally different dress that pulled elements from all the gowns Krissy had shown me in previous appointments. Everyone was so nice and helpful and I am so excited to wear my dress next year!

yley Paige gown. Little did either one of us know, it would be the one! Everyone there was so patient with me and helpful! It makes me excited to go back for my fittings.

know my style and my wedding plans, letting me try on the dresses and accessories that I wanted, and really caught on quickly to what I cared about! I asked a bunch of questions and tried on my final choices a couple of times, and they didnt make me feel bad about anything. I decided to by my dress with them and am really looking forward to going back and picking up my dress! They're in a great location - beautiful store front with convenient access to parking! Everything about the visit was easy and non-stressful, which is very appreciated!

pointment, but I didn't want to get too excited incase there was a chance I didn't find my dress right away. I had the pleasure of working with Krissy who pulled all sorts of dresses for me try on to get to know what I liked and didn't like. As she got to learn what styles I was interested in I started to fall more in love with each dress I tried on. She was always honest with me and never made me feel uncomfortable. She was very personable and knowledgeable as well! She always asked what I liked or didn't like about a dress I had on at the moment. Just when I thought the search was over for night, she said she had a dress in mind that she thought I would like a lot... low and behold, I fell in love. She pulled out all the stops and grabbed a veil and jewelry, and I said yes to the dress! I knew I was limited with my budget but I was able to find a dress I feel amazing in and in my budget. She took all the pictures I could've ever asked for as well. My experience was definitely a 10 out of 10 and I couldn't ask for anything more. I highly suggest checking out Plumed Serpent!!

k Krissy enough for making this experience an unforgettable one!

k representative was offering us water or champagne. There is plenty of seating throughout the store, plenty of privacy for different groups and filled with dresses, more than I've seen elsewhere. Yvette was my representative and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to help me through this experience. She was nothing short of amazing, patient, funny, warm, and a visionary! She let me pick out dresses I thought i'd be interested in but also was open about choosing some of her own for me to try....and the one I landed with, was one of the ones she picked! One of the things that stood out to me the most is they don't rush you. They take their time with you and it's all about YOU. I am beyond grateful that I had made my way here - otherwise I would still be searching when the dress of my dreams with right under my nose in my home town.

gne, which was minor but very much appreciated! I brought 4 guests with me and we had our own section of the salon; it was personal and intimate. My consultant Allison (who is also the owner) was incredible! She had to fill in for my original consultant who had to go home because of a stomach bug. She came in on her day off and made sure my experience was nothing short of perfect! The staff was very accommodating. They have a great selection of dresses, designers, and accessories. I found my dress and purchased it that day! I can’t wait to go back for accessories and fittings!

work. I walked in this past Thursday and met with the alterations woman, and my mind was put immediately at ease. This woman (I think her name is Lissa?) was so reassuring and kind during the entire fitting that I was comfortable right from the start. I could also tell that she knew what she was doing and made recommendations for slight tweaks before I even had to ask a question! I am confident that the dress is going to look amazing in June, and cannot wait to go back for my second fitting with all my bridesmaids to show them! Thank you, Plumed Serpent, for putting a slightly stressed bride at ease with your kindness and professionalism.

t I won’t have a reason to go back now! The new shop is gorgeous and lends to a truly special experience. Thank you to the entire Plumed Serpent team for making my wedding day look amazing!

iasm for her work, and Krissy was fantastic as my consultant. I went in with a vague idea of what I liked, and Krissy nailed it. She was fantastic at showing me many different options within my price range, but ultimately the first dress I tried on was the one. I cannot wait to go in for fittings in a few months with their experienced seamstresses. Overall, fantastic experience! Definitely check out The Plumed Serpent and ask for Krissy :)

ll my stunning accessories, to the seamstress Lissa who relentlessly worked on my dress until it was absolutely perfect for me. I love LOVE this salon and am so happy this where I ended up finding my dress. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and now these women have become my friends!!!

to look any farther than the first salon I visited (Plumed Serpent). I commuted from Pennsylvania (for both dress and alterations) because their staff and dress selection are beyond amazing. I can whole-heartedly agree with all of the positive reviews Plumed Serpent has received - if you can make any requests, Jess is one of the best in the business and I felt like she just "got" me if you know what I'm saying! She was so intuitive and found a Haley Paige dress that was made for me.

e and walked me through the process, making me feel comfortable and excited. All the dresses she pulled for me were exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend making an appointment if you’re looking for the best dress shopping experience, and ask for Krissy!

sit with me and discuss my vision and let me pull some options myself. After trying on about 7 gowns, Yvette pulled a wild card and that dress ended up being the one I fell in love with! There was no pressure to purchase anything that day, but I said Yes to the dress thanks to Yvette and Allison's help. This bridal salon gave me an amazing experience and I can't wait to wear the dress of my dreams!

experience plumed serpent team:) made my best day ever even better!!

erns weren't valid. They also host many events at their store (accessory shows, etc) and they make sure to keep their brides informed so they look and feel perfect on their wedding day. I am very happy I purchased my dress from Plumed Serpent!

e was exceptional. She is warm, friendly, professional, and committed to providing the highest quality service to her customers. She is patient and listens to the customer’s vision to help find the perfect gown. She takes a personal interest in her clients and is always willing to go above and beyond. On several occasions she stayed very late after hours to accommodate my schedule. Her knowledge and experience inspired my confidence. I truly appreciated her honest feedback and suggestions. She made every aspect of this process stress free and pleasant. I would highly recommend without any hesitation doing business with The Plumed Serpent. You will not be disappointed. I love my gown and can’t wait to wear it on my daughter’s wedding day!

bridal boutique offers sophisticated and couture style dresses; which most definitely appeals to the bride who wants to stand apart from the mass produced styles and bridal looks. They carry some exclusive designers that can only be found at their store; my dress made by Martina Liana is one of those rare designers that you can’t find in an average wedding salon. The craftsmanship, style and exquisite detail of my dress is nothing short than magnificent. The Plumed Serpent delivered on my very first wedding dress shopping experience that far exceeded all of my expectations. Bridal consultant Krissy was tremendously helpful, thorough and knowledgeable. She has an eye for pulling dresses based on a bride’s individual style and body structure. You will be amazed on how beautiful you will look and feel in nearly all of the dresses you try on because of her knack for selection. I purchased one of the first dresses I tried on; she made the process so seamless, non-pressuring and very pleasurable. Once the dress arrived I had the amazing experience of working with Pat for my alterations. This woman is INCREDIBLE; she is a true talent in her craft and and focuses in on every detail. I’m beyond thrilled on how perfectly my dress fits every single inch of my body. I truly felt like a million dollars on my last fitting and it makes me even more excited for my big day in a couple of weeks..:) A big thank you to Owner, Alison for personally being apart of my dress experience and taking the time to check on me through every fitting; she truly cares about her costumers and pays attention to every detail to give you a truly wonderful wedding dress shopping experience !

own wedding dress there 35 years ago, and once I met Krissy my anxiety melted away!! She made the experience so easy and fun, she was able to interpret my vague ideas into wedding gowns that she thought would work for me. And all the while Krissy was patient, honest and supportive as I tried on one after the next in completely different styles. After my second appointment (I needed a 2 week hiatus), I fell in love with a dress that was the perfect style for me. Thank you, Krissy, for your expertise and Plumed Serpent for a beautiful, comfortable place to find the perfect dress for the biggest day of my life!

my wedding, and I still had not received my wedding dress. The store ordered my dress with the incorrect wedding date, and did not communicate with us this error and did not apologize for the delay. Once the dress came, the store said that the alterations would be appx $600... when we went to the tailor, the alternations were 2x that! The Plumed Serpent team never followed up after I emailed that the tailor said the dress would require a lot of work and was a big job... and that it was a rush to get it done before my wedding date. I wish I had just gone directly to Monique to purchase the dress, where the team would've understood the alterations needed and followed up with top notch service.

t to, they became friends throughout the process! Thank you, Plumed Serpent, for the most amazing experience and the most amazing dress!

down the choices. I fell in love with every gown in there- the selection is simply stunning and I came into the store with almost NO idea what I wanted. They popped champagne for us as I tried on dresses and made a celebration of the entire day. The experience was better than I could've ever imagined. My dress just came in last week (yay!) and again, Krissy was phenomenal. She went above and beyond the call of duty by opening the store an hour early so that I could come in and try it on (I had a very busy schedule that day and a small window of time that I was free to come in). While I'm sure this was an inconvenience, I was never made to feel that way at all. She and another employee, Yvette, gushed with us over my beautiful gown. Their passion and love for the job was so evident, and made the day all the better. Krissy found me the perfect veil and accompanying jewelry too. It was a fantastic experience.

ged the full price, which is fine. The reason I can’t give them a 4 or 5 stars is because I tripped on my dress both down and back on the aisle. The pictures also look like it was obvious it needed hemming. I trusted the store and after I emailed, I have not heard a response from them.

searching for, and only tried on two dresses before finding the one! The seamstress is incredible and transformed my dress to fit me perfectly. Highly recommend the Plumed Serpent if you're looking for a relaxed and enjoyable wedding dress shopping experience.

patient and a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Krissy and the entire Plumed Serpent team!
