This is a one of a kind shop. I knew from the energy as soon as I walked in that I'd be purchasing my dress from The Persnickety Bride. The one-on-one appointments offered a much more intimate experience than other shops I've been in. Lori was so sweet and funny as I tried on dresses; she was honest, patient, and knowledgable. As for Denise- she is highly passionate, genuine, and she truly runs a beautiful shop. She took the time to send me kind messages before my appointments, which really helped to calm my nerves. This type of quality is unmatched! I'm so grateful! (and props to Denise's daughter for helping!)

I came to Persnickety a couple months ago and instantly fell in love with their dresses and staff. I had so much fun trying on gowns and just spending time in the store. I knew that I would be back again to get my prefect dress. When I came back it was like we were all old friends and they knew exactly my style and what dresses I needed to try. I loved how personalized the experience felt. They really are just spectacular at what they do. I have found the perfect gown that feels like it was made for me. I am so proud to say that I am a Persnickety Bride :) I would highly recommend this shop!

The Persnickety Bride had a great selection of dresses. I walked in not what I wanted and it was stress free. So many beautiful options to choose from and friendly staff who were so very helpful. I was planing on wearing a simple "little white dress" for my elopement and then a gown for a later reception; however, I was able to find an amazing dress that could be ready within 2 months. This was a pleasant surprise since I did not think that could happen and did not need to compromise on the style I would have chosen to get something in a short time period. To add to their great customer service, they were able to provide me the name of a trusted seamstress nearby for any alterations. Couldn't have had a more wonderful experience.

Denise and her staff run a fabulous little boutique dress shop in Connecticut. The experience was everything I could have hoped for. She had a beautiful selection of dresses and did a great job helping me figure out exactly what I was looking for. Once I said 'Yes,' she had champagne waiting and a little gift bag as well. I would highly recommend Persnickety Bride if you're looking for a intimate and individualistic shopping experience!

I found The Persnickety Bride after a google search of bridal stores in the area. I can't say enough good things about the store, my experience and especially Denise & her daughter Erin! I came with my mom, one sister & bridesmaid. Denise listened to what I wanted, helped me select several gowns to try on and offered her advice on each one. She helped me find my dress within my budget and I love it! We had a morning appointment and had total privacy. She truly made me feel like it was MY time to shine (Which is was) & she made my experience completely stress free, which is so important since everything wedding is typically stressful. I highly recommend The Persnickety Bride to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, cost effective bridal gown. Thank you Denise & Erin!!

The Persnickety Bride gave me an experience I will never forget. Denise and the rest of them team were so personable and focused on me from the moment I walked into the shop. She made sure to listen to what I wanted and what I was looking for in a dress, and I found the one that very same day! I will be forever greatful and I hope all brides choose to become a Persnickety Bride!

I got my wedding dress at The Persnickety Bride and I couldn’t love it more! Lori and Denise were very friendly, helpful and were genuinely excited for me. I had a great time and am so excited I found my dress at The Persnickety Bride!

Denise (the owner) was FANTASTIC, and helped guide me to find the dress of my dreams! I had tried dresses on at other boutiques, but when I came to The Persnickety Bride was impressed by the variety of inventory, the sincere helpfulness of the staff, and the stylist's ability to assess what I wanted/felt comfortable in rather than pushing me in a certain direction. At no point did I feel like I was being rushed or pressured, which has happened at other bridal shops. Would recommend 1000x over

Before my appointment at The Persnickety Bride, I had tried on so many beautiful dresses, but couldn't articulate what was missing. When I came in, Denise had me describe the vision for my wedding and within 15 minutes I was in my dream dress, speechless. She turned what had been a stressful, uncertain process into an unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever. I am honored to be a Persnickety Bride, thank you Denise and team!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing of an experience I had at The Persnickety Bride with Denise and her staff is (but I will try!) I had been highly recommended by a friend to put Persnickety on my list during my search process. I had planned a long day with multiple gown appointments, and Persnickety was the last stop of the day. From the first moment my family and I met Denise, we knew it was going to be memorable! Denise was personable, kind, thoughtful, and helpful from the beginning. I was indecisive on my first visit, but Denise encouraged me to get more information and options on the designer I liked by attending a truck show. At the trunk show, Denise and Anna were outstanding and found me my gown! Their personalized, patient, and thoughtful approach was exactly what I needed to be able to find my dream gown! I cannot recommend Persnickety Bridal, Denise, and her team enough. Any and all brides would benefit from Denise’s experience, friendship, and support. TH... Read moreANK YOU PERSNICKETY! -Lindsey

I got my wedding dress at The Persnickety Bride and it was the best experience! Denise, Lori, and all of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. I worked with Lori who was so kind, understanding, and took the time to help me find my dream dress. I was working with a shorter time frame since I went shopping 6 months before my wedding date. I was worried that I wouldn’t have time to order a gown but Lori made sure I got the perfect dress, and would have it in time! This bridal shop has such a beautiful and unique collection. I’m so glad I’m a Persnickety Bride! Thank you Denise and Lori!

I'm currently in the process of working with Denise from The Persnickety Bride but am having such a wonderful engagement that I wanted to write a review now. Right when I stepped in the shop with my mother and future MIL, I felt like family. Denise was so warm and welcoming along with her right hand-gal, Lori, who helped me in the dressing room and made me feel uber comfortable with what dresses fit me best. She listened to my concerns and helped accommodate with other gowns. Because it was such a great experience, I think my happiness encouraged me to choose a dress that I later had second thoughts. Needless to say, I was a mess and felt terrible. Long story short, my moms and I explained the situation and Denise was nothing short of understanding and empathetic to the situation. She invited me to come back, try on more styles and wouldn't you know it - I found THE dress! Even when I was thinking of making certain adjustments, she was on the phone with the designer's repres... Read moreentative right then and there to take care of it. I highly recommend this bridal shop to all future brides. It's more than just looking for a dress. It's a whole experience and feel like the queen that you are :)

From the time I made an inquiry about making an appointment, to when I walked out having purchased my dream dress, Persnickety Brides was AMAZING! After scheduling my appointment (all online, which was awesome!) I received a dress survey page where I was able to pick dresses that fit my perspective style. The day prior, I was sent a reminder email which also asked who I was bringing so they would be greeted by name (which they were!) I then was sent a personal text from Denise the day of my appointment. The multiple contacts really made me feel at ease. Parking is fantastic, and my elderly grandmother had no issues getting around the salon with her walker. Denise made everything so easy! (Also, a big shout out to her daughter and her daughter’s friend! They were organizing the dresses and helping us stay on track, thanks ladies!) The dresses were already waiting for me, and I found my dream dress in no time! I was slightly nervous that there wasn’t going to be enough inventory …b... Read moreoy, I was wrong! Every dress is stunning and there is ample selection. My mother even purchased her dress that she will be wearing to my wedding at the appointment as well! I highly recommend Persnickety Brides and I cannot wait to continue to work with them through my wedding planning process!

WOW WOW WOW I don’t know where to start on a review for Denise & her team. I shopped for my gown all over CT, NY and even a handful of stores in Texas. I must have been to at least 20 shops and tried on hundreds of wedding dresses. I’m very indecisive and was HATING the wedding dress shopping process… until I walked into Persnickety Bride! The shop is a beautiful boutique with the most gorgeous dresses (which her and her team keep very well maintained) from a variety of designers all with different styles. Denise and her team are incredible – they are patient and helpful throughout the whole process and don’t try to pressure you (like many other shops I went into). They have great ideas on how to tweak any dress and make it EXACTLY what you are looking for – and not to mention FUN! My mom, my sister and I had so much fun when we were at Persnickety! Because we had so much fun finding a dress at Persnickety, we also did our stationary – the invitations went out a... Read more few weeks ago and I can’t count how many texts/phone calls my mom and I have gotten commenting on how beautiful the invitations are! Stop looking around and go let Persnickety take care of your wedding!
