There are TOO MANY GOOD THINGS TO SAY about Denise and her team at The Persnickety Bride. I could not have found my dream dress without her incredible selections and her attention to detail throughout the entire process. She does an amazing job of getting to know exactly the styles and accents you want and she NAILS IT every time. Not to mention she's an absolute ball of energy and the best time. If you're in CT, MAKE A VISIT!The Persnickety Bride's reply:

I had an incredible time at my appointment at the Persnickety Bride and was thrilled with the experience! The level of personal attention, flexibility, and positive energy during my appointment was remarkable. I started my dress-shopping experience with some anxiety, but I was immediately put at ease by Denise and the team. I felt empowered and beautiful every step of the way, and left the shop feeling like I'd spent the afternoon at a friend's house. I would recommend this shop team hesitation to anyone looking for their dream dress! I know my mom has already said that she'd love to return to find her dress for the day!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Michelle we had such an incredible time with you and mom. I love how our brides understand we want to be "chill" and there for you. That is our goal every step of the way. I know how nerves of trying on dresses and making decisions can be so difficult - that's why we want you to LOVE your dress. We want to show you all the options - sometimes it blows a brides mind but in the end you find what truly speaks to you as your dress. Thank you for becoming a Persnickety Bride - you know I want to get my hands on mom (in a good way of course LOL) but I love dressing moms - it's my thing because I want them to feel as beautiful as you feel in your dress ! Thank you again - love all of us - Denise, Aeryn, Celia xoxo -

Brittany Z. Sent on 07/19/2024One stop shopping! The Persnickety Bride was a 5 star experience from start to finish.
Making my appointment was so easy and the try on appointment was so relaxed. Aeryn really listened to what I wanted and she made great suggestions.
The first dress she gave me to try on was absolutely perfect. I tried a bunch of other dresses on afterwards, but the first one was the winner!
Months later, my mom was having trouble finding her Mother of the Bride dress, so we went back to Persnickety and she found her dress that day!
The customer service is amazing, friendly interactions every single time.The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Brittany - Thank you so very much for your lovely review. Aeryn is an awesome stylist (being her mom I brag a lot about her) she is super chill and really listens to our brides and moms. We all try to make locating your dress easy and fun!! We love what we do and we hope it shows!! Can't wait to see pictures of your big day. Thank you and mom for becoming a Persnickety Bride and A Persnickety Mom!!! xoxo Denise -

Denise and her team at The Persnickety Bride were absolutely amazing to work with! I had a particular style dress in mind that I was realizing was becoming hard to find in bridal shops. I found The Persnickety Bride when searching online and drove over 2 hours where I met Denise who welcomed me with open arms, she listened to me, gave me advice, we laughed, we made connections and right away I knew she really cared about me and finding my perfect gown. Denise made sure she knew what I was interested in before I even arrived so that I would have over a handful of dresses to try on. I truly felt like a bride in this warm environment and I’m so glad that I came across this shop. I would highly recommend this bridal shop to anyone!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Awwww Madison - Thank you so much for your lovely testimonial. It was my absolute pleasure to help you find your perfect dress!!! I can't wait to see the pictures of your wedding day! So glad you took the ride from VT!! xoxo Denise -

Denise and her team at Persnickety made my dress buying experience easy, fun and so memorable. I was not looking forward to this process, but Denise put my worries behind me and made me feel comfortable, but still so special. She listened to what I was saying and actually picked out my dream dress for me after trying on two dresses! I'm so thankful for them!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Awwww Emily thank you so much for your lovely testimonial. I always try to make everyones experience fun. Life is too short not to enjoy this moment. I mean really this the one of the one purchases you should be having fun and enjoy the process. Thank you so much for becoming a Persnickety Bride - for enjoying you experience so much and your kind works and friendship xo Denise, Aeryn and Celia -

Amanda M. Sent on 06/27/2024Great experience!
I had a great experience getting my wedding dress here. I had gone to many different places (including a very well known spot in NYC...) and thought that I might never find a dress that would suit me. I am petite and it was hard to imagine most of the dresses I tried on, as I was drowning in the fabric (I understand why it is important that the dresses are larger in size to accommodate all brides, but it still made it difficult as a petite 5'1" woman). I felt like I could actually tell what the dresses I tried on at The Persnickety Bride would look like. I had the help of both Celia and Denise during my initial appointment, and then worked with Denise for all the fittings. Overall, I had a great experience and am very happy with my dress!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Amanda - thank you so much for your lovely testimonial. I have to say that I was absolutely thrilled the way your custom measured Lea Ann Belter dress came out. It looked simply gorgeous on you and I can't wait to see your wedding pictures. If you need anything else please know that we are here for you, mom and the family xoxo Denise & Celia -

The most beautiful and unique selection of wedding dresses along with the most wonderful staff who make you feel like you’re their only bride!
After visiting a few bridal shops before my wedding, I came across Persnickety as I only lived a town over. I figured I would check it out. I was easily able to book an appointment and I was given a link over email that took me to their online dress selection where I could browse styles that I liked and I was asked to “heart” the ones I wanted to try on. When it was time for my appointment, all the dresses I liked were out and ready for me to try! Denise, who is the owner, made trying dresses on so much fun. She wasn’t pushy, she knew exactly what I was looking for based on my interests and she was so helpful in my dress search! Another part I loved about Persnickety is their selection of dresses that are unique to them in that there were some smaller designers whom I had never heard of or had ever seen in other boutiques that she carried. I ended up going with a not as well known designer, Dany Tabot, and I can confidently say I found my dream dress at Persnickety Bride! Here’s just a few photos of how beautiful this dress is, the 3D floral was my dream and Denise helped me make my dreams come true!
Also, contacting persnickety was a breeze as Denise texted me on my cell phone. She was constantly updating me about my dress and when it would come and my veil. She really made me feel like I was her only client and it always felt so personal! My mom and mother in law both ended up getting their gowns here as well!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Megan - you were an absolute JOY! to work with here at The Persnickety Bride. We are extremely proud to carry Dany Tabet he is a lovely man - so sweet and so passionate about he designs and making brides feel beautiful. I am looking at these pictures and I need all of them on my real brides page!!! "The moms" both look amazing in their dresses. These pictures though are totally Amazing. You both are so happy and you can feel the love and excitement of the day!! Spectacular. Really Spectacular - thank you for being a Persnickety Bride and thank you for your lovely review!!! xoxo Denise, Celia and Aeryn xoxo -

Rose M. Sent on 04/10/2024Second Easiest Yes of My Life
Denise makes you feel so comfortable when you're in her shop. She listens to what styles you like and offers suggestions both similar to what you want and also some different choices to consider. I was DREADING dress shopping, because I was feeling insecure about the process. That feeling instantly went away once Denise started passing me dresses and having me try on different options. The dress I said yes to was actually one that I didn't even originally pick out!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Ahhh Rose I remember when I put you in that dress. You looked absolutely stunning. You know, I never knew that growing up with my grandmother would actually be such an impact on me starting this business. There is something about talking to a bride and understanding her fear (I mean really getting that this is not only a big deal dress - but all the apprehension that goes with it) then looking at the persons body and getting their style and who they are. It is so important to the process. I am fortunate to be able to really speak to my brides and get what works for them. It is a talent I never knew I had until I got into wedding stationery and then into wedding dresses. I am so fortunate that so many of my brides feel so good about allowing me the opportunity of selecting dresses for them based on what they are moving towards. Your review really warms my heart and I can't thank you so much for your support and the love you had for your experience here. I am a bless women to have such terrific brides. Thank you again so very much - you made my day!! xoxo Denise -

Rachel Sent on 12/11/2022personal, memorable, successful
I came to this store recently with all of my ladies to find my wedding dress! I was met with quality service, a welcoming environment and an impressive selection. The mother-daughter, family dynamic made me feel comfortable immediately during the "wedding dress" process that, let's be realistic, can be a little stressful. Denise helped me to come to a decision for myself (while also considering the opinions and views of my mother and bridal party), but mostly for myself, the dress that was meant for me. When something about one dress wasn't quite what I was looking for they quickly found me something in alignment with my vision and budget. I felt so supported, and both of these ladies helped me feel comfortable and confident making a decision on a dress that reflects my personality and compliments me in all the right ways. I left feeling like a part of the Persnickety Bride family, and they sent me off with gift bag and group photo. I can't say thank you enough, truly! 10/10 would recommend.The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Dear Rachel - Thank you for the lovely review! I did have a fabulous time with you and enjoyed the company of your entire bridal tribe. You found your vision in your dress and nothing makes me happier than seeing happy tears and a relaxed bride. So so happy and WELCOME to the Family!! xoxo Denise, Aeryn and Emily -

Fabulous to work with!
I went to The Persnickety Bride for a mother of the bride dress. I had been to several shops and was not finding that special dress. The entire experience was great, from being able to go on the website to “favorite” dresses that I liked, to meeting Denise, to order and pick up. Denise was amazing. She took one look at me, listened to what I had in mind, and chose dresses that were perfect for me. She was so warm and friendly - made me feel like I had a new friend. My daughter’s wedding was this past weekend and I cannot begin to share all the compliments I got. Elegant. Regal. Stunning. Never seen a more spectacular dress, just to share a few. For a dress for a special occasion, I will never go anywhere else!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
You look fabulous darling so glad you became a Persnickety Mom!
Thank you so much for your awesome review! xo Denise -

Marisa S. Sent on 08/16/2023I felt like family!
Look no further than The Persnickety Bride ladies! Denise and her team are top notch... Denise is spunky, fun, and loving; I felt like family from the moment I walked in the door. Both of my dress experiences were seamless in the salon. Yes, I said BOTH. I bought a dress (which I loved and thought was beautiful) but second guessed it for a solid two weeks after purchasing. Eventually, I told myself this is a common bride feeling and it will pass. Fast forward two months and I am sitting at my friends wedding.... she walks down the aisle in the same beautiful dress I recently purchased. I knew this was my sign, the dress was not meant to be mine. I reached out to Denise (in a panic) and explained the situation.. I ended up in the salon three days later in another dress I loved. Which I now know today was meant for me. Denise made me feel confident, beautiful and reduced my stress level significantly. We ended up making tik tok's and laughing for two hours after I bought the second dress. Denise worked with the manufacturer for me so there was no crazy additional costs to restock the first dress (it hadn't shipped yet). The Persnickety Bride has such a magical selection of dresses, there is something for everyone. Not only will you most likely walk out of the store purchasing a gown, I promise you will leave with many laughs and memories for life. I can not recommend The Persnickety Bride Team and Denise enough. Love you guys! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Forever a Persnickety bride!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Marisa - we are family! All my brides become my extended family - that was my goal when I started this shop. I wanted to provide a joyous experience for women - brides and mothers.
This is what a bridal experience should feel like - you are meeting with your favorite fun, joyous "aunt" and she is putting you in beautiful dresses. Some call me Mama Denise, but most will tell you they felt like they were family. That's exactly what you should feel like - at home. What I did for you was easy thanks to my manufacturer. The dress not having been delivered yet - we were able to get it put back into inventory and get you your second dress. No one should have to walk down the aisle in a dress that their bestie wore at her wedding. I had no idea both of you were friends and both of you bought the same dress. Now that was pretty darn crazy. In the end - we made it all work out - you felt gorgeous in your second dress - I made you a happy camper along with my manufacturer and all is good in the world. When we can do it we certainly go the second and third and forth mile to make things right!! Love you darling and thank you for your lovely review xoxo D -

Dream come true!
I cannot recommend The Persnickety Bride enough! Denise and her team were so patient, warm and inviting and knew exactly how to turn my vision into a reality! Denise is amazing at what she does and works with you to find the perfect dress. They make the whole experience comfortable, low-pressure and supportive to just make you happy! Both my sister and I found our dream dresses here and my mom even found her MOB dresses as well!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
I had the best time with you, your mom and Nicole. Thanks so much for your lovely review Kristyn. It means the world to me and to the girls here! Please stay in touch - love to keep up with all of you xoxo Denise -

Julia A. Sent on 11/30/2022HIGHLY recommend being Persnickety!
Denise was a DREAM to work with. She was high-energy, and she was great at helping translate my not-so-clear vision into a real dress! I went to 3 bridal shops, and she put me in 2 of my top 3 dresses. She made the appointment fun, and she definitely understood what I was looking for. I sent my fiancee to Persnickety to get her dress too, and we are BOTH Persnickety Brides!The Persnickety Bride's reply:
Julia - Thank you so so much for your lovely review. God I had a blast working with you. I know how overwhelming it can be to find a dress. My one job which I take very seriously is listening to my brides and working through the inventory in my mind to find the dresses you are going to appreciate and love. The fact that you were so open to try on different dresses - really makes the collaboration of bride and stylist so easy! I can not wait to see your pictures with Lisa - you both are going to look so beautiful. You know if you need anything else please let us know. Thank you for becoming part of The Persnickety Bride family!! xoxo Denise
