Hello world!

What our Guests are Saying

I will forever be referring people to Michele’s in Westbrook. Didem made this process incredible! She is calming and so so good at what she does! She truly cares about her brides and helped my mom and me find the most beautiful dress! The dresses here are not only absolutely beautiful but they are completely reasonable and fairly priced especially compared to the other places we looked on CT! I couldn’t be happier with my choice and recommend this boutique to anyone getting married! Thank you for making this process so incredible, and I wish we had started here from the beginning! Thank you Didem for making this experience a happy one that I will cherish forever!

Didem helped me find my wedding dress. She was the sweetest thing. She was so helpful, honest and complimentary throughout the entire visit. Michele A was the first shop I visited and the very first dress I tried on ended up being “the one.” The shop was adorable and welcoming. You can tell Didem truly loves her job, she is so genuine and dedicated to helping you find the right dress. Thank you Didem for all your help.

I came across Michele-A Bridal Boutique on Instagram while I was creating a list of bridal shops to check out. I reached out to Didem and she responded in a timely manner to help me set up an appointment. In the email I added the type of dress styles that I am interested in.

I have never been dress shopping before so this was my first appointment and boutique that I went to. I made my appointment for a Saturday afternoon and I had 1/2 of my bridesmaids with me. Upon arrival I was blown away with how beautiful the boutique is and the beautiful wedding gowns. Not to mention that we had the whole place to ourselves, which is a plus! Didem was professional, welcoming, and so kind. She explained the process to me. I picked out a few dresses and my bridesmaids did as well for me to try on.

I quickly learned that a few styles did not fit my figure. However this one style looked amazing on me! After trying on a few dresses, I went back to the first dress that I tried on. Didem worked her magic and made me look and feel like a bride. At the end, I said yes to the dress and I can’t wait to wear it on my big day next year! If you’re looking for a timeless and elegant wedding dress, I highly recommend this boutique!

I found my dream wedding dress at Michele Bridal and I could not be any happier with my experience! Didem was absolutely wonderful. I picked out several dresses to try on, she gave me advice on which styles to consider and try them on in a certain order to get a pointed comparison. Didem will steer you in the right direction without any pressure. Different from some bridal boutiques, you are the only client in the boutique so as a result, Didem provides you her undivided attention. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience, I am so happy and confident that I found my dream dress. Thank you again to Didem and Michele A Bridal Boutique.

I purchased my wedding dress from Michele’s and it was a great experience! This was my first time shopping for a dress and my consultant helped me find exactly what I was looking for. There was a good selection of dresses to choose from with a lot of variety at reasonable prices. I called to schedule an appointment ahead of time and we were the only ones in the store at the time, which was really nice and personalized. We did not feel rushed at all and felt our consultant was super knowledgeable about different styles of dresses and fittings. They do not offer alterations in store but provide recommendations of local seamstresses. I would definitely recommend this boutique!

I had such a lovely experience wedding dress shopping at Michele – A Bridal Boutique. Didem is an absolute gem! The communication right from the very beginning was great. I booked my appointment through The Knot. Didem was very responsive and answered all of my questions as a new bride-to-be. When my bridesmaids, mother, and future mother-in-law arrived for my appointment, Didem graciously greeted us and welcomed us to the shop. We were all very excited to have exclusive access to the shop for my 1.5 hour appointment. It really made the experience much more intimate. I showed Didem the style of dress that I liked and she pointed me in the right direction, even making some recommendations herself. The dress that I ended up choosing was actually a dress that she had recommended! It is absolutely gorgeous! I am beyond thrilled to wear this dress next year when I say “I DO!” All of the dresses in the shop are beautiful and reasonably priced. Didem was so very helpful with getting the dresses on/off, making them look perfect for photos, and answering everyone’s questions. You can tell that she truly loves what she does and she is great at it! I highly recommend coming to Michele – A Bridal Boutique for your dress shopping experience. Thank you so much, Didem, for your help making this day special ❤️

I can’t say enough great things about Michele bridal boutique!! Didem was amazing to work with and made my entire experience a literal dream! She helped me choose my dream dress and truly listened to what I wanted. She wasn’t the slightest bit pushy and went out of her way with her little ‘tricks’ to make my vision come to life. All the dresses ranged from $1600-4000 and were very well organized by style! Thank you so so much Didem!!

“What a wonderful experience. I can’t say enough about the salon and more importantly Didem! She made the process so much fun and she really knows what will look good on you. She picked the dress I fell in love with! Thank you Didem! You are the best!”

“After getting engaged in December of 2022, my family and I went to Michele in March on the hunt for my dress. The consultant, Didem, was amazing. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted so she helped pick out dresses she thought would suit me and I ended up trying on a handful, but bought the first one I tried on. She had a vision with a specific vail and belt that tied the dress together perfectly, all under my budget. I would recommend this boutique to everyone looking for their perfect dress. This is a comfortable, affordable, well kept boutique that even offers lavender champagne to celebrate finding your dress!”

Samantha – The Knot

“Absolutely the best experience! Such a perfectly curated collection of dresses. Didem was amazing and helped us pick the perfect dress (one I had overlooked originally), she made sure it came in even earlier than expected, helped us get more material so I could add some sleeves and sent us off to a wonderful seamstress…This should be your first stop!”

Kristen – The Knot

“I had the most amazing experience at Michele A Bridal Boutique! Didem was an absolute pleasure to work with and was so supportive through the entire experience. I’ve gone to a few bridal boutiques in the last few months, but the dress selection and service here was top tier. I said “yes” to my wedding dress here and I cannot wait to return once it arrives!!”

“Before I even step foot in the door Didem was extremely helpful over the phone! I had a specific dress that I wanted and she was very timely in her responses and was able to get me an appointment right away. When I got there Didem greeted me and my best friend and was so sweet and helpful from the moment we walked in until the moment she held the door open for me on my way out. She was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions! She made sure that the experience was about me and my big day and truly made me feel like a bride to be! This is a beautiful boutique and would highly recommend! I walked out that day with the exact dress that I called about and Didem made that happen!”

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Michele’s! I came in as a defeated bride after shopping at multiple boutiques around CT and had been unsuccessful in finding a dress. I soon as I entered the shop, Didem put me at ease and was so kind and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She was absolutely wonderful in helping me narrow down what I wanted and ultimately helped me pick the perfect dress! Didem, it was a pleasure working with you! I would highly recommend CT brides checking this place out.”
