Exquisite Bride

I’m so glad I decided to come here. I have been to three other bridal shops in New Jersey searching for a gown. My experience here was by far the best. I came with 5 other ladies and they were easily able to accommodate us. Catherine spent so much time with me. She was so kind and helpful. Having her as my consultant is definitely what made the experience so wonderful. She recommended some beautiful gowns and I was able to have my big say yes to the dress moment. I ended up buying my gown, veil, and belt all from this store.

THE BEST!
Honestly Amazing… Cat helped me find my dream dress. She spent several hours with me even after we found the dress just so I could make sure it was the right dress. I felt so special and they obviously love what they do.
I would give Cat 10 stars if I could.

I looked for gowns at 14 places (I’m indecisive) and Exquisite Bride was THE classiest, nicest shop I went to. My consultant, Aleksandra, warmly greeted my party and I, then proceeded to work with us for over an hour. She made the experience perfect.
This shop carries only bride’s gowns. Not MOB, not MOG, not BMs. This is also a testament to their mindful selection of inventory.
EB is not one of these bridal barns with a boatload of crap. Instead, they mindfully select pieces to offer in their elegant, albeit compact, shop. Much of what they offer is on trend, and right now the trend is lace. You should arrive at EB with a vision of your dress and if they don’t have it, you could ask if they’re able to order it for you.
Aleksandra introduced me to the seamstress who was informative and helpful. I ultimately could not decide on a gown from here, because I the ones I liked were too small for my body. They DO carry plus sizes, but I am not a plus size and many of the samples were tight for me.
I will recommend this classy, lovely shop to all. Aleksandra was such a pleasure to work with.

I just got off the phone with what sounded like the store’s owner and I’m so grateful to have spoken with her.
She gave me a lot of great advice and insight about the particular dress and company I was looking for. I was willing to drive from Maryland just to be able to order the dress. While that didn’t end up working out, she still gave me her time and thoughts — even though she knew I probably wouldn’t be a customer.
Frankly, she’s the most transparent, helpful vendor I’ve encountered during the wedding planning process. Wish I lived closer. New Jersey brides, you’ll be in good hands here!

I am only basing my review on my shopping experience as I did not end up purchasing my dress there. My consultant was Alexandra who was awesome. She was sweet and didn’t make me feel awkward and uncomfortable at all. The consultants do come into the changing room with you, so you should be prepared for that. I didn’t feel any pressure to buy a dress which was great, and she did offer me some advice. She even brought me dresses to try on that were way under my budget, which made me feel like she wasn’t just trying to upsell me. A few cons are that you aren’t allowed to go through the racks and touch the dresses yourself. I followed Alexandra around the room and she pulled dresses out for me. You also aren’t allowed to take pictures which I kind of understand, but it makes it hard to remember the details of each one. Other than that, this place is definitely worth the visit, especially if you live nearby.

I really enjoyed my bridal shopping here. I loved the atmosphere. It’s very elegant and provides for a pleasant experience. The staff was knowledgeable and they really took the time to focus on what I wanted and what looked best on me. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because I didn’t like that you couldn’t take pictures of yourself in the dresses, other than that I really love the place.

Excellent service and selection.
My consultant, Julia, was great and I was the last appointment so I had the whole salon to myself! I went in looking for a particular type of dress for my October wedding and Julia help me find exactly what I was looking for– even going so far as to pull a dress from the back that wasn’t on the floor (which ended up being ‘my’ dress!). Even though I was looking for something specific, the variety they offer is beyond what I’ve seen at other salons and I appreciate that they do all alterations in house.
I can’t wait until my dress arrives and I have my fittings!

Please note that this review is based off my appointment, not an actual dress purchase.
I came to Exquisite Bride for my very first wedding dress experience — I had never tried on wedding gowns previously, and I wanted an appointment to try on lots of different styles and narrow down which shapes looked best on me.
The shop is really stunning — it has flattering lighting and a ton of dresses to choose from, and the podium/​mirror setups provide a good amount of privacy. The place looks very classy.
My consultant’s name was Julia, and she was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire appointment. I gave her a few simple guidelines of what I liked, but gave her a lot of creative freedom — I felt that she listened to my feedback and put a lot of thought into the dresses she pulled. I felt beautiful in each one, and would have been so pleased with any of the 10 or so gowns I tried on that day.
I’m still going to look around for «the» dress, but ultimately, I’d have no problem returning to this store to purchase my gown. I would recommend this store to any bride looking for a personalized experience.

TERRIBLE! I purchased my gown at the Millburn locations. I must have called half a dozen times to confirm my appointment and ask about alterations. I had a very short engagement and about 20 days from the time my dress was supposed to arrive until my wedding day. When I arrived for my first fitting I had to wait at least 20 minutes before going down to do my alterations. Then when I put the gown on it was ordered 6 sizes too big! My veil looked dirty and was the wrong color even though I specifically said only white! Extremely disappointing. Brides be ware. The only good thing was the seamstress in the alterations department actually know what she is doing and managed to salvage the situation.

It was our first time going to try on dresses for my best friends wedding. At first, the experience seemed great, the whole store to ourselves, plenty of dresses to choose from. Being her first time, our bride was unsure of the style that she wanted. She described the style she thought she might like to our consultant, Alexandria. Alexandria proceeded to choose only dresses that fit the one style our bride thought she might want. Like kids in a candy store, we of course couldn’t help ourselves from looking through the dresses, gently and respectively of course. I started noticing that every time we touched a dress or suggested a style Alexandria would clear her throat like an animal marking her territory. I figured maybe she just had an excessive itch in her throat, but it later became clear that she was in fact, just a nasty woman with a bad attitude.
My friend and I brought back two dresses we thought that our bride would like when hastily out of the dressing room jumped Alexandria. Without any prior warning or comment from her, she proceeded to SCOLD us angrily about how this isn’t a joke, and that SHE is the professional and our bride can’t just come in here and try on anything. I told her, with my jaw hanging, that we understood but she CONTINUED on her wild, condescending rampage saying we had been there already for an hour and the bride didn’t have anything in the yes pile and that this and we were ridiculous. We chose to stay silent for the brides sake, but we were incredibly turned off after her absurd outburst.
At this point our bride was totally uncomfortable yet still found a dress that she loved. Alexandria was extremely pushy and asked two times in a row «are you going to buy it today??» My friend nervously replied that she was going to sleep on it and Alexandria LITERALLY rolled her eyes and sarcastically chuckled as if to say «of course you’re not buying today».
She didn’t even bother putting a vail on our bride, continuing to rob us of the total experience! When our bride asked to try on vails you could clearly see that it was an issue by the rolling of Alexandria’s eyes.
In conclusion, the store? Great, clean, cozy.
The experience? HORRIBLE. Remember the store manager from the movie «Pretty Woman»? Alexandria was her, but WORSE (and we are classy, professional women)! Avoid Alexandria at all costs. She absolutely ruined what was to be a wonderful time.

From the selection to the service this salon was fantastic.
Caveta: I am only rating my appointment, as I haven’t bought a dress yet.
The selection is amazing – lots of diferent types of gowns in a vareity of styles, colors, and in various price points (I’d guess it starts around $ 1500). They have a lot of appealing designers like Tara Keely, Lazaro, Marisa, and Alvina Valenta. They also have great accessories.
My consultant, Julia, was super helpul. She asked what I wanted and picked styles both fitting the description of what I wanted, as well as in my price point.
The salon itself is set up well with two podiums and three-​way mirroras plush chairs, a lot of privacy, and ample fitting rooms.
They are also willing to sell the sample gowns, so if it’s in good shape and you want it, you can buy it for hundreds off retail. Alterations, they told me, are $ 400 max, but may be less.
They also followed up with a thank you note and generous credit toward accessories if I buy my dress there. Which I may.
Totally worth the drive from the city to this lovely boutique.

I had such a great experience here with Julia. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and super helpful. I found a fantastic dress and she was so helpful throughout the buying process.
The salon is beautiful with lots of gowns to look through and choose from. Highly recommend!

I could not say enough nice things about this boutique and our consultant Julia. She was truly fabulous and took the time to talk through what I liked, didn’t like, could change, etc. about each dress. After going to Castle Couture, The Perfect Dress, and Fantasy weddings, I can say that this has been my favorite place and I will more than likely be back to purchase my dress!!!

Just purchased the wedding dress of my dreams here. They were so professional and so helpful. A lot of times when you go to dress shops, some of the consultants are snobby and judge you. In this shop you did not feel like this at all. They made you feel like you were the only bride in the world getting married! There is no rush and they let you take your time, understanding that this is the one of the most important decisions in a girls life! 5 stars 5 stars 5 stars!

This Salon exceeded my expectations. I had a hard time arranging an appointment and was sure that this was going to be a more snotty salon. I was happy when they managed to squeeze me in but surprised that the salon was completely empty when I arrived. The salon is beautiful and they have a wide range of dresses in terms of style and price. Alexandria, the sales consultant, is very helpful and stylish. She definitely has an eye for wedding fashion and put me in dresses I wouldn’t have pulled myself. I did think that the prices were a tad bit higher than some of the salons in the area. Although I did not purchase my dress here, I would highly recommend the Salon to other brides. I went twice to try on a dress and Alexandria was beyond helpful both times.

I can not believe there are no reviews for this amazing bridal salon! I found my dream dress here after a horrendous experience at Kleinfeld’s. As soon as my mom and I walked into the shop we were greeted by the consultant, Deborah. My appt was a Thursday afternoon, so the shop was empty and quiet. She asked the normal questions about silhouette, where, when, and how much and then let us browse while she and I picked a few gowns off the racks. She led me to the dressing room while my mom sat in a comfy chair in the salon.
I am no petite flower and was worried that the samples would not fit me, as I had this problem with many of the dresses at K’s. Almost every dress at EB fit me, or Deborah made it fit as best she could. With each dress she asked me what I liked and disliked and kept me on track to finding MY dress. I get ADD when I’m shopping and it’s very easy to get lost in all the gorgeous gowns and sparkle, but she would remind me that some I was choosing had the elements of other dresses I didn’t like. She also didn’t mind if I tried on a few for fun just to see what they looked like on. Also, she didn’t stay at the top of my price point when picking dresses– in fact most were less then half of what I was willing to spend. Her focus was finding my dress, not a huge commission.
When I liked a dress on, or if I wasn’t sure, she would show how it could be customized with different necklines, buttons, belts and other accessories. My mom and I were not rushed at any point and after 2.5 hrs I found my dress. It was ¹⁄₃ of my top price and only $ 400 for unlimited alterations. I am so grateful for Deborah and Exquisite Bride to give us all the time we needed to look, have fun, and cry a little (or a lot in my mom’s case). I didn’t think buying a wedding gown would be such an emotional experience, but after the passing of my grandma this summer, (who I found out had been putting away money for my dress) all the wedding planning has been bittersweet. Deborah understood that buying a wedding gown isn’t the same as any other purchase and made me feel really special and well taken care of. I can not wait to go back in April for my fitting! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
