Hi

Please find attached some pics of the dress/day. I removed the small capped sleeves so it was spaghetti straps.

I cannot recommend A Bride To Be highly enough. A great range of dresses is available in a variety of styles and sizes. Nicole knows the stock intimately and treats each of the dresses as if they were fragile babies! She is also able to provide great advice as to how the dresses may be amended to suit a woman’s particular body shape. Nicole and her husband are also highly professional and courteous and do not attempt to pressure you into buying a dress in any way. Buying my dress was an enjoyable and memorable experience for which I am grateful.

Dear Nicole,
Thank you so much for your care and kindness to me in being prepared to bend over backwards for me. I was so upset and your email is so compassionate. I would like to say thanks for going out of your way to accommodate me (when you haven’t even met me).

I appreciate your kindness more than I can say.

Warm Regards

I really thank you for your efforts in marketing the gown and finding it a

Hi Nicole,

I purchased the Connie Simonetti Marilyn gown from you about a month ago and I just want to say thank you for an amazing experience and for the most beautiful gown! My wedding was last week and it was a perfect day. I felt like a princess in my dress!

It was sad that my mum couldn’t be there on the day but you were so warm and enthusiastic that I enjoyed the experience of trying on dresses as though she was there. I really cannot thank you enough.

If my husband and I ever renew our vows I’ll definitely be back for another dress!

Hi Nicole,

From the featured wedding of Kathleen and Jim from www.oneevent.com.au:

“My dress was a Connie Simonetti design that I actually bought through an independent seller, Nicole Nelson who owns a self run business ‘A Bride to Be’. Nicole has connections with lots of top designers and stocks some really unique dresses…”

21 August 2014

Hi Nicole,

I just wanted to thank you again for providing such a lovely service for me today! You both are the perfect couple for this type of business, you made it such a lovely experience. I felt a bit sad that my parents weren’t there seeing me trying on these beautiful dresses, but you both made me feel so welcome and special, and I really appreciate that, so thank you!

I have complete confidence that you would only send me away in something that was perfect for me!

Hi Nicole,
Thank you for your service, I’m in shock that it sold so quickly. It couldn’t of come at a more convenient time with having to finalise the bill for our wedding reception.
Again thank you so much!

Dear Nicole and lovely husband,

Just a little something to say thank you so much for taking the time to make Mum and my first wedding dress experience so warm and special. I will never forget how at home and comfortable you made us both feel and for that I am truly grateful.

I was so nervous and apprehensive to even begin trying dresses on, let alone choosing a style or knowing what I wanted – you both made it so easy and wonderful for Mum and I, so thank you so much, I really am so touched.

All the best with the business and for the years to come.

Love and thanks

Hi Nicole

I’m not sure if you remember me – but I bought the Connie Simonetti blush mermaid dress from you last year… I had a beautiful wedding in April and just got back from my one-month honeymoon in Europe!

Anyway – I remember I promised you some photos of me in the dress on the day – so I have attached a few!

Everyone told me how much they loved the dress – it was perfect. So I just wanted to say thanks again for it!

Hope you’re well & all the best

Hi Nicole,

The wedding was beautiful, and without a doubt one of the happiest days of my life! Everyone loved the dress, and quite a few girls wanted to know where on earth I found such a perfect fit. As it turns out, L, the young lady that did my hair and makeup may be needing a dress in the very near future. Of course I told her she absolutely had to go see you, and gave her your info.

I will have wedding photos in the next couple of weeks, and of course I will send a bunch your way. The dress really was perfect. Thank you so much!!!!

Hi Nicole and Graeme

Well we have arrived home safely to our respective homes and the reality has set in for myself, in that our darling daughter now has her dream Vera Wang wedding dress.

I wish to thank you both for the lovely experience of today, V and I will fondly remember the day she decided on THE dress!

I just knew when I spoke with you yesterday Nicole, that there would be a positive outcome.

Thank you for your genuineness and your fab advice and support in accessing a tailor, we really would not have known where best to go.

I am sure V will send you some pics of her and J’s wedding day.

How wonderful of you both to have a celebratory drink with us.

Thank you so much!

Regards,
