Hi Connie this is Lauren's Mum Lyn & I just wanted to send you a big thankyou for making Lauren feel like a princess on her wedding day.

Wedding Dress: Sincerity Bridal
I just want to say a massive thank you to Connie for all the help and effort she went to ensuring my dress would be perfect for my special day! Being a plus sized bride I found it very difficult finding someone who wouldn't pass me off as 'fat' or ask if I would lose weight before the wedding, I stumbled across connie after a google search and I was nothing but happy from there on in!
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
Hello Connie, I just wanted to say thankyou for helping me find my wedding dress. At first I did not like the dress you suggested and was apprehensive about trying it on, as on the rack it didn't seem much. The moment I tried it on, I knew I had found the one I wanted! Thankyou for being flexible as I live interstate and also doing such a great and quick job on my alterations!'
Wedding Dress: Sincerity Bridal
From the moment I met you, I knew you would be nothing less than professional,honest and supportive in the process of finding my wedding dress. Your service not only with my dress, but my Mums and bridesmaid was outstanding. My dress was AH MAY ZING!

I was so unsure if my dress was right for me but you were confident it was right and on my special day I could not have been any happier. I know I thanked you but without your confidence it would not have been so perfect xxx
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
When I first went into the boutique I felt anxious and was shaking. Connie, the owner and operator put me at ease. She put me in a number of dresses that flattered my figure and gradually put together a picture of dress that she thought I would love. Although I didn't find anything that day, she knew the perfect dress for me would be arriving in a couple of weeks.
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Connie for creating my beautiful one of a kind wedding dress. I received so many compliments on my dress & truly felt like a bride straight from the pages of a magazine.

Thank you Connie I couldn't have chosen a more professional, helpful, caring bridal consultant. I have had so many wonderful comments on my stunning gown, wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to other brides! Emma xx
Wedding Dress: Casablanca Bridal
The experience I love most about this bridal shop is how much Connie cares. Going to big bridal shops with generic dresses and staff that treat you like a sales meal, this boutique treats you like a bride. And what bride doesn't love to be the center of attention =)
Wedding Dress: Lusan Mandongus
Connie you are the best. My daughter has ordered her dream dress all thanks to you. What a pleasure it has been to meet you and your advice has been wonderful. Thank you again you made it all so easy.
Wedding Dress: Peter Trends
Thanks for everything Connie. Having owned and run my own bridal store for 9 years and now being married second time round I found you refreshingly honest, with a fabulous range of stunning gowns that would suit a myriad of brides and their individuals tastes. I feel so content knowing you will be an integral part of our special day.

Wedding Dress: Peter Trends
My dress definitely was the star attraction. Everybody LOVED it. Random people were even coming up to me and saying "Oh my god I love your dress!" Connie I can't thank you enough for providing me with the dress of my dreams. From the time I stepped in to your place you knew exactly what I wanted. My whole experience with you was incredible and I will always keep those great memories of the times leading up to the best day of my life...dress fittings were my most exciting part!
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
I can't thank you enough for my stunning gown, Connie! Was firm to start with but you were spot on with the size! Felt like a princess all day xx

Hi my name is Jennifer Winter and I brought my wedding dress off Connie from Accapella bridal recently, and I have too say guys she is the best in town as she put all her time, heart, hard work and effort into finding the right dress for me
Wedding Dress: Atelier Aimee
Thank you Connie for my dream wedding dress! It is everything I wanted and more. I can't wait for the rest of the Illawarra to see what fantastic dresses you have in store! Your service was above and beyond and you made me feel so comfortable and happy. Thank you heaps!!
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
Loved having Connie do the alterations for my dress. I had all my fittings and alterations within 2 weeks of my dress arriving as my wedding was booked so quickly. Connie was great with making me some straps/bolero to go with my dress which I would never had got if I had bought the dress from anywhere else. I found the design online and she made them exactly as I wanted.
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
I searched all over Sydney for my Justin Alexander dress to be told by several unhelpful bridal stores that they didn't stock their dresses anymore, I had almost giving up hope of getting my dream dress when I called Connie.....she had my d...ream dress for me that same very week! Amazing!
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
Thank you so much for your wonderful help on Saturday! It was worth the drive from Sydney and I definitely will be recommending your business. Beautiful shop and owner. Xox
Wedding Dress: Peter Trends
Thank you so much for the experience you gave me in finding my perfect wedding dress!! The service you provide is a beautiful thing and better than anywhere else I had gone to try on dresses. The feeling I got when I first stepped into your showroom, I knew I would find the dress I wanted to get married in. I will be sure to send through a photo of us to you after our big day.
Wedding Dress: Casablanca Bridal
What a wonderful appointment ! Forget going to a busy bridal store on a Saturday where you're nothing more than a number. Connie is a professional! She has been in the industry for over 25 years and knows the dress to flatter your shape, make the most of your assets and glide over your trouble areas while working within your budget.
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
You have been truly amazing and professional and made the whole process fun. Nothing was ever a hassle and I always left your beautiful studio with a smile and totally relaxed.

Wedding Dress: Atelier Aimee
It was such a beautiful wedding dress extremely well made and gorgeous detailed lace. Connie made it fit like a glove with her expert alterations.
Wedding Dress: Casablanca Bridal
Connie has a gorgeous selection of gowns at her bridal boutique, which all are of beautiful quality and are reasonably priced. She is very professional to deal with, honest with her opinions and she never pressured me to make the purchase quickly, like other sales people did at other bridal boutiques I came across. The alterations she made to my gown were perfect and I loved wearing my gown on our wedding day.
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
Connie your amazing! Such an honest person and I appreciate everything, especially taking the time to help me choose my dress! I couldn't be more happier to have chosen your bridal boutique to pick my dress from! The quality of your dresses are gorgeous and your extra personal service adds to it all!
Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander
It was quite a journey but once I saw my dress I knew straight away it was the one! Once you worked your magic and altered the dress to make it mine I loved it even more.
