BRIDAL DESIGNERS ON SALE
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!
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!
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!!
