Annelies Vallas (McPherson) | Wedding Dress Justin Alexander

Hello Connie, I just wanted to say thankyou for helping me find my wedding dress. At first I did not like the dress you suggested and was apprehensive about trying it on, as on the rack it didn't seem much. The moment I tried it on, I knew I had found the one I wanted! Thankyou for being flexible as I live interstate and also doing such a great and quick job on my alterations!' Here are a few sneak pics from our day. Thanks again Annelies

Emily Vieira ( Maccabi) | Wedding Dress Lusan Mandongus

Emily Vieira — 5 star  Connie - I can not thank you enough for my amazing dress. I came to you with a plan - a dress that was impossible for me to find anywhere! I searched both the illawarra and sydney for my dream gown but nothing was perfect... When I came to you I tried a dress with the most amazing double lacing and tulle that I have ever seen, I knew I needed this in my dress but the style was not right... You told me not to stress and that you would redesign it exactly as I wanted it and send these pictures to Lusan Mandongus to make the dress perfect. It arrived shortly after and it was amazing! The design was perfect and it fit like a glove - I felt like a princess! The design was made exactly for me! I would recommend Connie to everyone! She made my wedding dress dreams come true - thank you Connie! I will send you pictures shortly.

I cannot express how thankful I am to Connie! I absolutely recommend her to every bride! I looked in about 4 other stores before going to Accapella, and she definitely has the best range and the most beautiful dresses. Connie knew exactly what style of dress I was looking for, and helped me find the perfect dress that suited my style and my body shape.  Connie also altered my dress to add lace sleeves, to make my dress even more perfect for me. I was so happy with the dress, it fitted perfectly and looked exactly how I'd imagined.  Thanks so much Connie for all your help, you are amazing!

Bree O'Malley (Mutton) | Wedding Dress Sincerity Bridal

 I came to Connie about a year before my wedding date, to find the perfect dress just like any other bride desperately wants to find.  I found my stunning wedding dress at the beautiful Accapella Bridal Shop and I couldn't be happier with my experience!   I dealt with the owner Connie over my numerous visits but they were all wonderful! At my first bridal consult Connie was kind, patient and understanding as being a plus size bride I did feel a little bit worried about finding the right dress but Connie was amazing and her eye for detail was incredible. Connie brought a certain dress that was not what I thought I would be after. As soon as I tried it on, It was perfect! It was "The Dress"  My dress required a large amount of alterations as we had pictured adding a wrap around my arms, taking it in, adding lace and beadwork not to mention taking the dress length up.  I would HIGHLY recommend Connie to every bride! You get the high end service at a beautiful shop. With Connie you will always have professional assistance, not like other bridal shops that are just there to make money off a dress that isn't your dream dress!  Connie's professional manner, amazing creativity, understanding, patience and her beautiful and kind nature has definitely earned her 5 stars in my book!  I will be recommending everyone I know to go see Connie as she really does make your wedding gown shopping experience just perfect!  Thank you Connie for all of your help! You have been absolutely amazing.

Hi Connie, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your support, expertise and guidance when searching for my perfect wedding dress. I came to you unsure of what I wanted and what would suit me and from the very first few minutes you were spot on! You knew the exact dress which would turn me into a beautiful bride. You were so accommodating to me living overseas, and when things didn't go to plan, you were so understanding but told me to trust you and you were absolutely right! I am so glad I did, because my dress was absolutely perfect, I loved everything about it and now, a month later, all I want to do is wear it every day!!! Thank you so much, Connie, every bride-to-be needs a superstar dressmaker like you!! Love, Jen Moseley (Wall)
