What a positive experience from start to finish. Krissy was such a sweetheart, and really understood my vision of my wedding dress. She still helped me venture out of my comfort zone and try on certain styles I didn’t think I’d like (which I actually was pleasantly surprised with). I was extremely anxious about trying on dresses because I’m not a size 2 and she made it such a positive experience. This was the first place I tried on dresses but knew I didn’t need to go anywhere else. Thank you so much, Krissy!! – Michele Thorkelsen via Google rewies.

I had a wonderful experience with A Little Something White from start to finish! Kim helped me to find the dress/veil of my dreams and Kathy, the seamstress, made sure the dress fit my body perfectly! They made the wedding dress process seamless and fun! – Christina DeBlasi via Google rewies.

So professional & they make it all about you. You feel so special and beautiful! If you say yes to the dress they give you and your guest champagne! – brandy giannattasio via Google rewies.

I had the best experience picking out my wedding dress at BethAnn’s Boutique! They were extremely insightful and helped me pick the most perfect gown. BethAnn made me feel beautiful and I couldn’t be more grateful to have had her as part of my bridal experience. As someone who currently lives in Colorado, it was worth every mile to travel to Connecticut to work with BethAnn and her team! – I had the best experience picking out my wedding dress at BethAnn’s Boutique!

BethAnn’s boutique was an absolute lifesaver for me – I had already had several less than ideal experiences with bridal stores and this boutique was a breath of fresh air. Savannah was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. Great service combined with an amazing selection of dresses you won’t find anywhere else make BethAnn’s a must-see. – Addie Johnson via Google reviews.

I visited Beth Ann’s boutique today and absolutely loved it! They had a wide selection of dresses in many different styles. All of which were about beautiful in their own way. Working with Nadia was an absolute pleasure she was so friendly and took the time to get to know my style and made recommendations that fit with in that but that I had maybe overlooked initially! – Melissa Matula via Google reviews.
