This isn't your typical review, but so worthy of sharing! My daughter purchased her dress in Richmond, VA for a destination wedding near Emerald Isle. We had some challenges with getting the dress wedding ready after the alterations (very poor ...service from the bridal shop in VA) and transport. I was given Thornbury Brides and Nell's contact info from our event planner in hopes she would do what so many others wouldn't do, help out with a dress that wasn't purchased from her. Nell was an angel! She immediately said she would help, made an appointment for me to bring it in on the day that was convenient for me, wouldn't charge me, and guided me through how to transport from New Bern to Emerald Isle and how to touchup the day of wedding. When I walked into her shop, I was impressed with the elegance and the selections (of course you can't stop in without looking a little)! With the kindness and expertise that she exhibited to me, I can't even imagine what a joy it would be to have her as part of your wedding team. This was daughter #2's wedding. Based on her dress experience as well as daughter #1's experience, I wouldn't run to Thornbury Brides to work with Nell if I was involved with another wedding. Thank you Nell!!
