Rockport Bridals

I went into Rockport Bridal just to get a feel for what style of dress I liked, but ended up purchasing the perfect gown. Kim was great, she really seemed to listen to what I wanted and offered her advice, but was not pushy at all. She does all the tailoring herself, which I really liked. It is a small shop, not fancy, but I liked that about it. If you want a big luxurious boutique this is not the place for you, but if you like shopping locally and want the advice of a seamstress as you try on gowns to give you ideas of ways they can be tweaked, and if you want to know that the price you are paying is the final price because alterarations are included this is your shop. I will follow up once I pick up my gown in the fall with all alterations completed

Kim was amazing! I can not say enough good things about her and her boutique! This was my first and only stop. She had a wide variety, amazing prices & alterations included. She listened to everything I had to say, she asked the most helpful questions that ultimately helped me pick «the one». Even when a walk in came in she still gave me her undivided attention while still accommodating the other bride as well. I’m so happy I found her and look forward to seeing her again when my dress comes in.

Kim is hands down amazing! What a wonderful experience! With a back-​to-​back experience with «big box bridal», there is just no comparison — Kim was kind and patient, never pushy; she knew her inventory like the back of her hand, listened to what I wanted, and made recommendations based on what I said I liked and what she knew would flatter my figure. She offered subtle input when asked, but had an artful way of asking questions that got me to the perfect conclusion on my own. She made gentle suggestions for modifications to gowns that I loved in someways more than others, always painting the picture for what was possible to help me get what I wanted (e.g. adding lace sleeves, etc).
The shop was comfortable and welcoming — I could kick off my shoes and felt instantly at home… Plus I loved the undivided attention that came with a small boutique. The entire process was truly enjoyable.
Beyond the exceptional service, I have to say that the dresses in the shop are clearly of a higher caliber, but without the big box markups… Not to mention alterations are included!!! Kim had the magic touch for picking out the perfect accessories to compliment the dresses and tastefully played «dress up» get a sense for what details I liked (including tying my hair up in different ways to better illustrate her points!). She had a great selection of hairpieces, veils, and jewelry that are as unique and of high quality as the dresses.
I cannot say enough positive things… I was honestly dreading the dress-​shopping process after my first stop, and then found Kim’s shop on my way home with my Mom on a whim — I did not expect to walk in a tiny shop and be so wowed with beautiful dresses and wonderful service, but I walked out with «the one» and a giant smile. Turns out that random stop turned out to be the absolute best wedding dress shopping experience I ever could have dreamed of!

This is a smaller shop with smaller selection (2racks) of lower price range of gowns ($ 700‑1500). Alterations are included in the price. The staff are friendly and helpful, but depending on when you come and who else walks in, it may be difficult to get alterations questions answered (I had made an appt, but there were two walk-​ins and only one person working there, so it was a little more time to get through my selections.) They do provide the option of gowns from a catalog or a custom gown and also have accessories and bridesmaids/​mother-​of-​the-​bride dresses. I was a little put off by a spicy odor on many of the gowns.
