I just wanted to thank you for all your help in finding and creating my dream dress.
I had so many amazing complements and lots of people asking where I got my dress, and I'm more than happy to tell them!
You made the experience so perfect and your alterations allowed it to fit like a glove!
Thank you again!

Tanya Andrews | Wedding Dress Lusan Mandongus

Connie, you receive a lot of well deserved thank you's from your brides, and it was those thank you's and reviews that led me to your door that fateful Tuesday, a mere 6 weeks before my wedding (!)

Your approach was exactly how I had hoped finding my dress would be: you asked questions, listen as we tried things out, edging our way every closer to what was finally The Dress. Your passion, attention to detail and complete dedication to getting the dress right for my body shape and vision was amazing.
Needless to say everyone was in awe of such a beautiful dress, and I was most certain a blushing bride .
Thank you Tanya.

Hi Connie.
Here are some pics of the day of my wedding. Better late than never
 
It was a great night, it exceeded all my expectations. My husband and my parents loved the dress
 
It was zero degrees that night and we had some pics taken outside, but I think it was worth it.
Thank you fo everything and I hope I wasn't that big of a pain
 
Carolina.

Lauren Evans | Wedding Dress Essense Australia

Thank you to my bride Lauren Dunand (Evans) for her beautiful words:

"Hi Connie, congratulations on your new adventure with the bridal store, I'm sure you will be very busy and I will be recommending you to everyone.. Here are some photos from our wedding- everyone commented on the dress style suiting me perfectly and I was so excited with the result of it.. Thank you so much for all of your advice and patience with me when I wanted to change the sleeves and remove the godets- it ended up looking like it was made for me. - Lauren"
I also want to thank Lauren personally for driving down from Sydney on the first day I opened my new Accapella Bridal boutique in Auburn St with a bunch of roses. I was truly touched. Your complements and sharing that you had a wonderful experience buying a dress from me makes me happy to open my doors of a morning. It makes my job not feel like work, so thank you.

Happy Mother of the BrideHi 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. Her dress looked absolutely stunning & I can't wait for her to send you some pics. I don't want to steal her thunder so I'm sure as soon as she's back from her honeymoon you will see some. You can look on my FB for a sneak peak€€€€Lauren said to me she was so so happy she added the little sleeve & I agree it just looked so lovely on her. The veil just added to how stunning it looked. When you see her photos I'm sure you will agree it looked like a fairy tail wedding. Thanks again Connie for your professionalism & for making Lauren's dress the dress that she dreamed of- it was perfect.

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! After connie helping to find the right dress for my hourglass shape it was ordered and I was excited! But after falling pregnant all I had was doubt that I would look like a blimp but connie reassured me, when the dress came in I had my hesitations since I knew it wouldn't have the shape I wanted anymore but connie worked her magic to alter the dress to my 7 month pregnant body and I had nothing but positive comments and I actually felt like a beautiful bride! I would recommend anyone to connie especially since there is great difficulty finding a bridal shop catering for plus size brides without feeling fat and being judged! Ps cannot wait for my professional photos for a better view of the dress!    

Annelies Vallas (McPherson) | Wedding Dress Justin Alexander

Annelies Vallas (McPherson)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!' Here are a few sneak pics from our day. Thanks again Annelies
