I came across 2 dresses online that I was very interested in trying on for my wedding. When I clicked on ‘Find a boutique’ to find a local shop that carried them, I was directed to The Bridal Shoppe and I’m so glad I found them!
Donna is the definition of a person that does what they love and loves what they do. It was quite evident that she puts her whole heart into ensuring you feel the most comfortable and the most beautiful.
I did end up trying on the 2 dresses I went there for, but Donna busted out a dress of a similar style and boom! That was my dress.
The seamstress, Eugenia, was incredibly talented and patient. She puts real care into her craft and is not happy until the bride is happy. She went above and beyond to ensure my dress fit exactly as it should.
I am so grateful to have found this local shop and I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you, ladies, from the bottom of my heart!

Donna, Karen, Marge, Rosemary… all of them are the sweetest! When trying on dresses, I had already been to Alexandra’s and tried on almost 15 dresses in 1 day. Donna brought me asi...
de and helped me to calm down, take a deep breath, and take some of the pressure off. She could see that everyone trying to find me the right dress was stressful and overwhelming. After a few moments, she pulled out 1 last dress she had just gotten that morning and asked me to try it on. And it was the one! It fit like a glove and didn’t need any hemming/fixes! They truly made me feel special and beautiful. I can’t put into words how grateful I am for all of them.

All of the women in the shop are AMAZING! This was the first store I went to last year to look at dresses and I truly wish it had been the only one. After stopping here first, the ...
other stores we visited just did not compare. Here, I was always listened to and never rushed. The shop is small and when they are busy you may be sitting waiting for a few minutes but that never bothered me. The ladies of the shop work so well together and they make an amazing team. I ended up with the first dress they put me in, but all of the ladies helped me tailor it and make adjustments until it was beyond the dress of my dreams. I truly cannot thank these women enough for all of their support and help. Their customer service is unmatched in my opinion. Eugenia’s tailoring work was excellent as well (of course)!

Donna stayed past closing time to allow me to do this and was so genuinely excited for me when I said "yes" to the dress. Also, they do all alterations in house, which is definitely a plus. I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a wedding dress!

me with my appointment and actually ended up picking my dress! She helped me determine what I did and didn’t like and we never felt rushed, judged, or anything. Donna, the owner, came and helped style me when I found *the* one and both women felt like part of my bridal crew. They give you such a personal, special experience and make you feel so good. Instead of just ringing up the dress I bought and making a fitting appointment, they spent the time showing me the full look with a veil and hair piece, recommending a jewelry store, and started pinning the sleeves and bustle so we could see what it will look like. My sister got her wedding dress from The Bridal Shoppe as well and the tailoring and fitting is really where they shine too - they can make just about anything happen and I can’t wait for the dress to go from perfect to perfect for me.

Donna is literally my fairy god mother. I wanted a specific design that I happened see on Casablanca 's website. Not one store in the area had this dress but they all said could ...
get it on loan for a fee which would be used as store credit towards the purchase of the dress or anything else in the store. Not only was the fee Donna quoted me lower than anyone else's but she didn't even charge my credit card. She ordered the dress so it would come in time for my appointment, called me to let me know when it shipped and when I asked if she would charge my card yet she said she wanted to wait until it was in her hands. Even when it did arrive she still didn't charge me! I did end up falling in love with the dress, it was everything I hoped for and more, we paired it with a beautiful crystal lined veil. Donna then told me she would sell me the dress for even less than what we previously discussed, I immediately ordered though my wedding isn't until 2024. The Bridal Shoppe has a wonderful family atmosphere and the staff is really down to earth and friendly. I'm extremely pleased with my dress buying experience.

ered the shop, I felt like the only bride in there. Donna and her employees helped me to find dresses that fit not only my style but also my shape. I found THE dress there and received SO many compliments on it the day of our wedding. Having moved our wedding date due to covid and having uncertainty as to when I would be able to wear my gown, I initially just wanted to take the dress home with me without making any alterations. However, when I showed up, the crew at the Bridal Shoppe encouraged me to put my gown on and began making alterations that very day, without an appointment! Thank goodness they did because we decided that we would be able to follow through with our wedding reception and my dress was ready in time. Every single time I went into the Bridal Shoppe, I felt taken care of and at ease. I highly recommend shopping here!

had been too. The dress I had envisioned myself wearing ended up being not the best fit for my shape - I was feeling discouraged. Donna helped me pick out a dress that was so flattering to my curves and made me feel so amazing!! She really has an eye for finding a dress that will compliment you! When I put it on, I felt so beautiful. I knew it was “the one”! All of the alterations were done in the store (and so beautifully!). Making appointments were never an issue & Donna is very punctual. You walk in and you are seen right away! Her assistant (not sure of her name) was also always lovely to work with. I could go on & on. They really care about their clientele - they want you happy on your big day and will go to all ends to make this possible!! Thank you for everything the Bridal Shoppe! ♥️

Donna and Marge are the dynamic due dream team! I had heard through word of mouth about the Warwick Bridal Shoppe from SEVERAL people in RI and they all had great experiences. The ...
first time I ever went to try on wedding dresses was at the Bridal Shoppe. I tried on 3 dresses that I liked on the hanger but when I tried them on they did not flatter my body type well at all . I explained what I wanted out of a dress and Donna said...can I make a suggestion? **BOOM- she picked out a dress that fit me perfectly and that I absolutely loved from the first minute I put it on** and that is when I said YES TO THE DRESS. Donna is a bride whisperer! I only had 2 dress fittings over a year's time since I was coming into RI from out of town and they worked with me every step of the way to make sure I was happy and all the alterations were just what I was looking for. Marge was meticulous and patient with a very complicated bustle! I wouldn't imagine going anywhere else.
