Michele A Bridal Boutique

I absolutely loved my experience here — Lyssa was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the fitting process and had great insight and experience to make my vision come to life. The shopping process was also great — casual but also fun and helpful. Great selection and very reasonable prices.

Absolutely amazing experience getting my wedding dress here. Lissa is an extremely talented seamstress who fit my dress perfectly. She and Pam are both so nice and accommodating. We had a lot of fun at every dress fitting, and I totally trusted Lissa to do the excellent job that she did. Thank you!

I purchased a mother of the bride dress and can’t say enough good things about Lissa and this shop. I am very picky and Lissa was so patient, assured me that I would love the dress after the alterations and she was right!!! I tried it on, wanted a few more things done and she made the adjustments the same day. This shop is warm, welcoming, professional and has a beautiful selection of dresses. I cannot say enough good things about my whole experience shopping at this store!!!

Just drove an hour in torrential rain and they are closed. Ugh. Website says open today!

AMAZING!!! seriously, this is the place to go if you want to look GORGEOUS in your big day plus they have an EXCELLENT service. I never write reviews; however, this place deserves one. I went there in a rush, just 3 weeks before getting married. I went to a couple of places and they looked at me like I was crazy. In contrast, Michelle’s they loved my idea, they were very supportive and fixed my dress in 2 weeks. I really felt home. They were lovely and made me my dreams come true!

I almost said yes to the dress there!
Michele A Bridal Boutique was the most beautiful bridal salon I’ve been to. The room was spacious and the lavender walls were very calming.
My mom and I stopped there on a whim because we were on the shoreline. Though it was a Saturday and we did not have an appointment, Lissa was very warm and welcoming and she gave us a brief tour of the salon. She was working with a client, but told me I could try whatever I want on, so I had fun in the huge discontinued dress room. To my surprise, she check up on me. I spotted the discounted La Sposa «Mufa» gown and fell in love with it. Knowing that I had an appointment at another salon with friends, my mom, and mom-​in-​law-​to-​be, I did not want to say yes until I had my formal dress appointment. She was nice enough to hold it for me for two weeks.
Unfortunately for Michele, I said yes to the dress at the other salon, but I am going to look there again for accessories. I highly recommend this place for brides-​to-​be.

I recently got married, June 8 2013 and went to many different Bridal Boutiques before coming to Michele Bridal. I wont name any other names but I had some good experiences and some not so good experiences at other shops. Before I began looking for dresses myself, I went to Michele Bridal with my sister in law to look for dresses for her. I immediately fell in love with the shop. It is so pretty with the elegant look to the shop, light purple walls with white accents and crystal every where :) My sister in law didn’t find her dress here unfortunately but I kept this shop in mind for mine! I didn’t come here at first because it is 40 minutes away from where I live and I didn’t know how I felt about driving back and forth for fittings and decisions and what not. Once I went to the other shops to atleast give them a try, I knew I had to go check out Michele Bridal.
Thank goodness I did! From the second I walked in with my mother and grandmother I was wow’ed with how professional this establishment is. I worked with the owner, Lissa, from day 1. I told her what I liked on me and she grabbed the ones she thought I would like, and then she took a couple of her own that she thought would look best on me.
I tried on all of the dresses that I imagined would look good, and as they were very pretty they just weren’t what I was looking for.
I then had one dress left that I was leaving last for a reason. I didn’t fall in love with it on the hanger and I almost didn’t put it on but Lissa convinced me to give it a try. Once again, thank goodness I did! I slipped into the dress and fell in love immediately. I have had self esteem issues with my body for years and never felt comfortable in any dress than I had when looking at myself in this dress. I know it’s so corny, but I got the feeling every girl wants to get when finding their wedding gown. I told her that I would go home and sleep on it and not one second did I feel pressured into buying the gown. At other shops the women immediately pressured me and I disliked that so much. Lissa told me it’s best to sleep on it and not buy it after thinking about it for a few days.
Sure enough, I called her the next day and put a deposit on it :)
What I loved MOST… I got to work with her for the remaining of the dress alterations. She is a seamstress and did all the alterations!
I have lots of friends who have recently been married and they go to their seamstress in the beginning, one in the middle and then one final fitting a couple days before the wedding. Not with Lissa… she had me come in multiple times to get fitted which I loved. I was losing a lot of weight during the process and I felt bad that she had to keep taking it in but she was happy to.
When I picked my dress up the week of my wedding I was really excited but sad at the same time. I didn’t want my by-​weekly visits to end but I now will go to Michele Bridal for all my dress needs and will recommend her to all my friends/​family.
With that being said, I can’t give enough stars to show how much I loved getting my dress here. The customer service was outstanding and the friendship I gained with Lissa was even better. I am so grateful I came here!

Where to start!!! I’m from CT & we’re getting married in CT in Aug. I currently live in NJ and went to 3 shops near Hoboken and 3 in CT. Exhausted, and pretty much losing hope, I took a chance on Michele Bridal. They happened to be open on a Sunday when I was in town for a day visiting my parents. The customer service by Lissa and Marissa was SUPERB. My mom and I were given water and the positive energy and determination to find «my dress» really decreased my stress level. Lissa pulled dresses for me and both assisted getting me in and out of my dress (SCARY NOT ALL PLACES DO THIS!!) I felt zero pressure to purchase a dress, unlike other locations. The kicker? I had only been looking at Lace dresses w/​a sweetheart neckline, beading and sequence… Lissa pulled a dress and said, «Just give it a try. Let’s see.» I FELL IN LOVE. not one sparkle to it. I was kinda confused why I loved it b/​c it was nothing I «thought» I’d like. It’s the only dress that held up my 34DD chest w/​no bra.& I’m a 6 waist. They also knew budget was a serious issue… Mom just battled breast cancer and it’s been rough. They ended up REALLY helping us w/​price. They CARE about each bride. on my 3^rd fitting I came in exhausted and stressed from meeting all the vendors that day. Lissa sat me down, gave me some bottled water and talked to me for a few mins. I felt like I owed her a co-​pay for a therapy session. She’s awesome. Lastly, my late Grandmother owned a bridal shop for over 20 years. My mother helped her run the shop and is VERY picky about alterations. After grilling Lissa, Mom is beyond thrilled with Lissa’s «work.» Their flexibility, sensitivity to our financial situation, customer service and attention to detail is only a few reasons why I gave them 5 stars. You’re lifesavers. Thank you!!!

It looks like a lovely store from the outside, but I wouldn’t know for sure. I was looking for a specific dress and called earlier in the week to be sure that they had it in stock. In fact, they are the only store from Washington, DC to Boston that has the dress. I live in DC, and was going to be in Connecticut for one day. The woman on the phone told me that I could come in Thursday or Friday. I offered to make an appointment but she assured me that it wouldn’t be necessary — I could just stop by. So I drove with my sister and her 5 week old baby the 100 miles and arrived at 2:30 to find that the store was locked and closed, with no one answering the phone. I left a message, but never heard back from anyone. It was a tremendously terrible waste of a day, and I was appalled at the lack of professionalism not to even put a note on the door! I will not go back, no matter how badly I want to try on that dress. Clearly, it’s not meant to be.
On the up side, I drove 5 miles down the street to the boutique in Clinton and had a fantastic experience!
