From the moment I met you, I knew you would be nothing less than professional,honest and supportive in the process of finding my wedding dress. Your service not only with my dress, but my Mums and bridesmaid was outstanding. My dress was AH MAY ZING! I felt like a real life princess and received soooo many compliments on the big day and for weeks to come. One guest even said I looked like a modern day Cinderella, can't complain with that!

When I first went into the boutique I felt anxious and was shaking. Connie, the owner and operator put me at ease. She put me in a number of dresses that flattered my figure and gradually put together a picture of dress that she thought I would love. Although I didn't find anything that day, she knew the perfect dress for me would be arriving in a couple of weeks.

The experience I love most about this bridal shop is how much Connie cares. Going to big bridal shops with generic dresses and staff that treat you like a sales meal, this boutique treats you like a bride. And what bride doesn't love to be the center of attention =)

Loved having Connie do the alterations for my dress. I had all my fittings and alterations within 2 weeks of my dress arriving as my wedding was booked so quickly. Connie was great with making me some straps/bolero to go with my dress which I would never had got if I had bought the dress from anywhere else. I found the design online and she made them exactly as I wanted.

She has been in the industry for over 25 years and knows the dress to flatter your shape, make the most of your assets and glide over your trouble areas while working within your budget.

Connie has a gorgeous selection of gowns at her bridal boutique, which all are of beautiful quality and are reasonably priced. She is very professional to deal with, honest with her opinions and she never pressured me to make the purchase quickly, like other sales people did at other bridal boutiques I came across. The alterations she made to my gown were perfect and I loved wearing my gown on our wedding day.
