Sabella Couture
Sabella Couture is a bridal shop and an alterations shop in one. This tiny boutique would be easy to walk right by, except that the gorgeous and ever changing window display will definitely catch your eye. The gracious and helpful staff at Sabella will help you find a gown within your budget without making you feel like you need to give up on the look you're going for. Alterations are also very reasonable, especially when compared to other boutique alteration shops.

Ana Hernandez
Ana Hernandez creates custom wedding gowns, which means that your gown will be one-of-a-kind. When you walk into Ana Hernandez's shop, you'll see a small collection of gowns that she's designed. These can either be re-created for you or used as jumping off points for the dress of your dreams. Since the gown is tailor made for you, it will fit like a dream from the first alteration. Ana's prices are incredibly fair, and her clients are always satisfied.

Vera Wang
There's no name that's better known in bridal fashion than Vera Wang. The beautiful Newbury Store showroom is chock full of the gorgeous gowns that Ms. Wang designs, and the staff is helpful, pleasant, and quick to note what looks will be most flattering on your body type. While the gowns are expensive (as expected), you may just find The One here -- in which case, your budget will likely fly out the window.
