Private. Pampered. Personalized. Finding the perfect dress should be an experience, not a decision.
(253)
We think finding THE DRESS should be an experience, not a decision. For over 40 years, we've been helping brides find their dream dress by giving them a personalized experience unlike any other bridal salon. Your personal stylist will help you find the perfect gown in a relaxing, fun, and special appointment. She'll help you every step of the way with accessories, bridesmaid dresses, mothers dress
es, and tuxes or suits at our sister store, Madeleine's Daughter Formal. We are dedicated to having the most extensive gown selection in New England. We only work with the best designers in the industry, and we carefully choose our inventory to accommodate every type of bride, venue, and budget. With the best atmosphere and stylists in New England, we are tax-free and only 45 minutes from Boston or Portland.
We find that some of our Moms are eager to shop, while others feel quite the opposite 🤍 No matter where you fall on the spectrum of feeling excited to shop, one thing we do know is that you will feel amazing leaving your shopping appointment at MD!
Gorgeous gowns for your child's wedding have been arriving all month, and our tight-knit team of Stylists can't wait to find "the one" for you, too! ✨
A toast to Stylists Sophie + Maddie, celebrating O N E year at MD 🥂

🥂 Sophie's brides love her kind demeanor and informative approach! She's dedicated to making sure you have a look you love, and that you have all of your questions answered.
🥂 Maddie's brides love how attentive she is, and how she truly listens to their vision/ideas. Paired with expert product knowledge, she's able to creatively curate your look with the perfect custom options that feel like your vision is brought to life.

One of the best benefits to shopping a Sample Sale? Zero waiting 👏 When you find your gown during our Sample Sale, you're able to leave with it in hand that day! Bridal gowns that are specially ordered may take up to 8 months to arrive, so shopping the Sale is a great option for brides who need a gown on a quick timeframe... without sacrificing style or the in-person shopping experience 🤍 Truthfully, we love that for you!
Sharing a few of our happy brides leaving MD with their gowns over the years!
No need to wait for the professional photos when Mom looks (and feels) so beautiful!✨ We had to share this sneak peek of our MD mom Michele: She glowed at her daughter's wedding wearing a Montage gown, and left our salon feeling the way we want all of our mothers and matriarchs to feel: beautiful!
"I loved my gown. I got so many compliments that day. It was amazing. I was so excited, the dress was absolutely stunning!!" - Michele 🤍
Cool in color, and timeless in black + white 🖤
After his bride found her gown with us, her groom Ben outfitted his side of the aisle at MD, too! Opting for a black-on-black look for himself, and traditional ivory shirts for his gents, we love how the subtle personalization makes such a special impact in photos! Cheers to the newlyweds! 🍾

Three reasons why we have been swooning over this Mother of the Wedding style: 🤍 The asymmetrical neckline is on-trend and lends a touch of elegance with the bow detail 🤍 It is delicately (and strategically!) gathered at one side of the waist, allowing the fabric to delicately fall around your torso while cinching the waist 🤍 Hints of metallic thread sparkle in the sunlight without beading that may feel bulkier for warmer months Schedule your Mother of the Wedding appointment to shop this stunning style and more! 💫
