If you’re in the New Hampshire/Vermont/Massachusetts area you HAVE to go to Modern Bride & Formal Shop. I went to several locations (Madeleine’s Daughter in Portsmouth, Marry and T...ux in Nashua) and I had great experiences there, but Modern Bridal just blew it out of the water. The staff was unbelievably accommodating, making it very easy for two brides to be assisted and styled. Hanna was BRILLIANT. I discussed my style with her and what I was looking for in a wedding dress and she pulled the most beautiful pieces. I swear she knows me better than I know myself. I had an idea of what I wanted to wear on my wedding day and she found several dresses that fit that bill and also took chances by showing me similar styles that I could be interested in. And she was right! I said yes to the dress in one that I would’ve likely passed over on the rack. But then I put it on and I knew it was the one. I thought that might be silly, the “aha” moment where a dress is just PERFECT. Well, Modern Bride gave me that moment. All of the staff was very kind, greeting my party and myself at the door with warm smiles. They were very knowledgeable about seamstresses, tailors, steaming, pressing, transportation, and more when it came to the dress. Additionally, the bonuses that come with purchasing a dress from this store are not to be forgotten. There are deals on tux rentals for grooms and groomsmen, discounts on bridesmaid dresses, and my personal favorite- storage until wedding date. These people genuinely cared to make me happy rather than just earn money off of my buying a dress. They were INCREDIBLE!! Please go to Modern Bride. Even if you don’t find THE one, I promise you will leave there feeling like the pampered bride that you are.
Another thing, I’m working on a short timeline. My wedding is in less than six months and Hanna found me the perfect dress that would already come in time. She did all of the background work while I was busy gawking at the dress. She made it so easy to find a beautiful dress and understand all of the care that comes with the dress. HANNA YOU ARE THE BEST
Also, they have TONS of beautiful bridesmaid dresses at competitive prices. The tuxes come in a wide range of great colors as well, i already showed my fiancé and we’re looking at getting his and his groomsmen their sets from there as well!
