Newtown, CT
Hello Newtown bride—at Persnickety Bride, we believe your gown should be just as memorable as your love story.
At The Persnickety Bride in Newtown, CT, we pride ourselves on delivering a truly elevated bridal experience—one where every detail matters so you don’t have to worry. As Connecticut’s premier one-stop bridal atelier and stationery house, we offer a thoughtfully curated selection of designer wedding gowns, bridal accessories, custom invitations, and special-occasion dresses for moms and loved ones.
Whether you're captivated by the timeless sophistication of Justin Alexander and Paloma Blanca, the luxurious craftsmanship of Yumi Katsura and Lea-Ann Belter, the bold, couture-inspired creations of Dany Tabet (including the curve-celebrating Dany Girl collection), or the effortlessly modern elegance of Senstudio, our hand-selected gown collection offers something extraordinary for every bride—every body, every style, and every love story.
But finding your dress isn’t just about fabric and silhouette—it’s about the moment. The breathtaking moment you glance in the mirror and know: this is you. That moment you feel truly celebrated, radiant, and totally yourself.
At The Persnickety Bride, you’re welcomed into a woman-owned, family-run boutique where your vision is championed. From your first “dream dress discovery” session to the Bridal Bliss Experience complete with Prosecco, a charcuterie board, and a personalized tote, every appointment is tailored to your joy and comfort. Our founder and stylists are deeply dedicated to making you feel seen, heard, and pampered—not rushed.
Our founder, Denise Buzy-Pucheu, is affectionately known as “The Bridal Fairy Godmother.” After decades in fashion, gifting, and media—and years spent planning her own wedding—Denise designed this boutique so brides could have a luxurious, stress-free experience rooted in care and attention to detail.
We also offer custom stationery, wedding favors, and personalized gifts to complement your wedding journey from save-the-dates to thank-you cards, making your planning process seamless and beautifully cohesive.
Whether your wedding is in Connecticut, Westchester, New York, New Jersey—or beyond—we’ve helped brides across New England feel confident and gorgeous on their big day.

My experience at The Persnickety Bride with Denise and her girls was a 10/10! Denise is so knowledgeable about her designers, fabrics and silhouettes that she can help you pick out your dream wedding dress so easily. She makes the entire experience fun and not stressful! My sister also got her wedding dress at The Persnickety Bride, as well as my mom with her mother of the bride dress. We all had such a fabulous experience and could not recommend The Persnickety Bride for your wedding dress enough!
Lisa Famularo
Between my wife and I, we visited 6 different bridal shops and both ended up becoming “Persnickety Brides.” Denise, the owner and lead consultant, is the best. She was the most welcoming and fun consultant we both worked with by far. She also was simply great at her job. She was able to interpret some very vague likes/dislikes that we came in with and pull the perfect dresses for us to try on! We didn’t feel pressured at all but did feel supported throughout the decision-making process. We both went with Justin Alexander gowns, and neither of us had any dress regret. We highly recommend joining the Persnickety Bride family!
Victoria Lathrop
Denise and team are just fabulous! This was my first (and only!) stop on my dress shopping adventure and the dress I ended up picking was the third one I tried on. She has a wide range of styles where I could have found anything I could have dreamed up. Actually, the one I picked wasn’t even one I selected from the inventory before my appointment. The team is so helpful in that they are more concerned about making you happy than making the sale. I absolutely believe that Denise would steer me away from a dress that didn’t look good even if it cost her the sale of said dress. They are honest and make you feel so beautiful. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you for my dream dress!!
