Majesty Bridal — Local services in Danbury

Ok, this is a bit long, but please bear with me. First things first - I hate to shop. I know, crazy! To avoid being overwhelmed in stores, I shop online for exactly what I need in just minutes, and I can easily return what I don’t like. I also have 2 jobs, so time is a huge factor. That said, I knew shopping for a wedding dress was going to have to work a bit differently. I wasn’t only concerned about the ‘stress’ of shopping, but also because this was a bittersweet moment for me, as both my parents are in Heaven and my mom wouldn’t be at the store with me for this special moment. I did start with an online search starting with the designers that can be found at Majesty Bridal and immediately found a dress I fell in love with. I didn’t want to look any further. Now my concern was how it would look on me. My bestie and I walked into Majesty and were immediately welcomed by a beautiful, bright, warm smile that belonged to an amazing woman named Hannah. The beauty and the shine was at the same level – if not higher – than that of the store. It was truly amazing and definitely lived up to its name – it was by all means ‘regal’. If you don’t believe me, look at the pictures - not mine, though, because I’m not sharing them until after I get married. LOL Hannah was so welcoming that I almost immediately forgot about all my concerns. She put me at ease and was genuinely interested in me, my love story, and what I wanted. I know, she was just doing her job, as she would probably say - but it felt like so much more than that. And it was. She wasn’t thinking about making the sale, but about giving me what I wanted. The first dress I tried one was the one I came in for and I could have left it at that, but tried two others, for the sake of ‘just in case’. Full appointment done in under an hour. Hannah called me only three months later to tell me my dress had come in two months early (these ladies definitely work their magic!) – and she was more excited than I was! The first look appointment was emotional and exciting, even more so than the first appointment, and I got to meet owner Morgana and model Grace. They’re just as kind as Hannah and they all truly shared in my joy. Thank you all! Brides to be in the Connecticut area, definitely give Majesty Bridal a try, you won’t be...

Majesty Bridal was the first place I tried on dresses, and I’m so glad it was my first stop. I walked in wanting a fit and flare and walked out with a ball gown, thanks to the expertise of Morgana! She listened carefully to what I thought I wanted, and happily put me into those dresses. I quickly discovered that wasn’t my style. I was impressed that after a quick look at inspiration pictures I had, she immediately knew which designer and dress each was. After, she challenged me to try something a little different based on my feedback... 5 dresses later, I didn’t want to take off the ball gown she suggested!

Because it was my first stop, I held off on committing because I was still stuck on the other styles. After visiting a few other shops, I went back to Majesty to try on a few more ball gowns. Morgana was patient and listened carefully to my feedback, pulling dresses that combined what I liked about previous dresses. Her expertise, patience, and kindness was unmatched at the other shops I went to. She did a great job clipping dresses to fit better, and was able to show me how different straps would look on my favorite strapless dress (she even attached some and then clipped the straight back into a V just to show what alterations could be done).

Thanks to Morgana’s patient listening and ability to pull amazing dresses, she helped me decide on the perfect dress... the original ballgown she put me in on the first visit. She made a stressful experience so fun and easy and I am so grateful that she was there to help me along the way!

I cannot say enough positive things about Majesty Bridal. They have an incredible selection of beautiful gowns, a beautiful showroom, and an amazing team. I would recommend them in...

I’m sure this shop has a great selection of dresses but my experience here with the staff was not great. I was in a wedding this summer and visited the shop with a couple of the other bridesmaids in December to order our dresses. The women who helped us were very friendly and nice but when it came to ordering the dresses, they measured me and insisted I order a size 6. I told her that I’d like to order a size up, just because the dress was somewhat complicated when it comes to fit and shape and I was afraid the 6 would be too small. She was insistent that this is how they process all of their orders and that she knew best. In retrospect, I should have been more adamant about getting the size I knew would be better but I didn’t want to insult her and I deferred to her professional opinion. She did the same thing with my friend. Lo and behold, the dresses arrive and don’t fit AT ALL. Fast forward a few months and nearly $200 in alterations, I may as well have purchased a new dress but I wouldn’t give them the extra business. Every single bridesmaid in our party had this same issue and, no, we didn’t all just gain weight. The kicker is, a lot of us actually lost weight and these dresses were just not ordered properly. Again, I realize that I should have been a lot more insistent about my needs but I was in a dress shop with someone who made it clear that they were the professional and they knew best. Now, I’m out a ton of money for no reason.

SUMMARY: nice shop, but the attendants are far from professional when it comes to their knowledge of the dresses, size, and fit. If you’re going to go there, know yourself and don’t let them...
