Few businesses compel me to sit down and write a review - but, in this case, it is a true pleasure to write the most glowing letter of recommendation I've ever written (in either my personal or professional life) on behalf of Follia.

Wholly thanks to Follia -- and more specifically, to Veronica and Antoinette who make visiting there a joy -- I went from a cold-footed bride ready to tackle every wedding detail except for the ones concerning herself to a confident, beaming bride able to check "dress ordered" off her list, within a single week.

From the moment I first stepped into the store last Saturday, to tonight when I returned to fall in love with "my dress" all over again and place my order, Follia not only met, but exceeded my every expectation. 

I never imagined that I would walk into a bridal store and instantly like and trust the people assisting me - but their help was so genuine, their advice SO good, their warmth and sincerity so palpable (and may I also mention - their prices so reasonable!), that I instantly felt at ease. 

In fact, with just a touch of tender encouragement, I quickly and confidently went from "I'm just here to get some ideas"....to "I'll try on everything you suggest I look at!" And, being a detail-oriented, type-A personality, micro-managing bride-to-be, their ability to make me want to reach the next level in dress shopping was nothing short of a miracle. 

Their personal touch, degree of individualized attention, keen eye and advice, and customer service was unprecedented. At one point, I even remarked to my bridesmaids, "This place makes it less about the dress, and more about really wanting to work with these people throughout the entire process...for some reason I already trust them implicitly!" 

Thank you Follia, I've never been as excited throughout my entire wedding-planning process as I am tonight! Now I completely understand why I was referred to you by a friend in the first place. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Beaming Connecticut Bride

Dear Antoinette and the entire Follia Staff,

I would like to thank for helping me choose the perfect dress and veil for my wedding day, as well as all your invaluable advice!

Thank you sooooo much! From day one the women at Follia Bridal made me feel like a princess. First, the selection was AMAZING. The dresses they carry meet every taste; from traditional to unique. Second, the woman who works there, Antoinette, always had a way to calm down an at times stressful bride. She was very patient, professional, helped me find the dress of my dreams, and was a positive contribution to my special day. I have a major problem with retaining water which would cause me to "gain' and "lose" weight from day-to-day. Antoinette fit me a little more than 24 hrs before my wedding to make sure my dress would fit perfectly. I looked and felt amazing on that day, and it was all thanks to Antoinette at Follia Bridal. I will still go there for any affair or occasion I have in which I have to look my best.

Dear Follia,

As the mother of the bride, Lauren, I am a bit late in writing this but I wanted you to know how much I appreciated the work you did for us! The bridesmaid’s dresses in the different cuts worked so well and everyone was so happy to pick their own personality. Everything fit perfectly and the bride was literally glowing! Thank you for your expertise.

Dear Antoinette,

I want to take time to express my gratitude. It is thanks to your being flexible and
understanding that I was able to wear my dream dress on my wedding day! I am forever
grateful. It's wonderful to know that in a bridal industry were people are increasingly
more concerned about profit than the sanctity of the occasion; shops such as yours
really try to understand the true meaning of what a wedding is all about. It was a joy to
patronize your store!

All the best,

Dear Antoinette and Follia Staff,

Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude for you being so wonderful throughout the whole process of planning my wedding. Your dresses made my bridesmaids look radiant, and my gown is still the most gorgeous dress I've ever seen. Thank you for all your advice and guidance in making us look so beautiful!

With love,

I would like to send my sincerest thanks for providing outstanding service and the beautiful gown which I wore for my wedding. My guests continue to save about how stunning my dress was. I simply cannot thank you enough for contributing to the happiest day of my life. I will surely recommend Follia to my friends and family in the future. Thanks for everything!

Love,

Dear Antoinette and everyone at Follia,

Thank you for your patience and caring while choosing my dress. As you can see in the photo, the gown looked absolutely unforgettable!

Love,

My girls (bridesmaids) and I were doing some shopping around, and had been to a few of the shops in the surrounding area. There were five of us, and when we finally ended up at Follia they were more than helpful in allowing us to take our time and try on all the selections that we wanted! The sales lady Rosetta was so nice and never got frustrated with us, which was not the case in some of the other stores. We finally chose the right dress for my party, and we even started looking at gowns for me, several of which I'm still in the process of narrowing down with their help. Just wanted to write a quick note saying that it took a lot off my shoulders to have my girls taken care of! Thank you!

My visit to Follia’s was a complete success, they were more than friendly and the sales lady who helped me was very thorough and attentive. I had many ideas as to what I was looking for, overwhelmed really, and she help me narrow down my choices and really focus on what would eventually be the best gown for me. That was a big plus, as I tend to be very indecisive. As far as my girls go, we were able to get all the info together and stay on the same page for everyone’s body shape and size, no small feat for eight very different body types. I was able to negotiate a bit on the price as well, which of course always helps. All in all everything ran smoothly and my wedding was a hit! Thank you!
