While shopping around in Rhode Island for my wedding gown, I went into Helene's. I was surpirsed to see that they had lines that were exclusive to their store. The salesperson was very helpful in picking out dresses that were the right fit and fit into my budget (which was $2000). Instantly I felt like my wedding was important to her, she asked me questions and gave me good advice. We tried on over 15 gowns out of 3 lines (Cosmobella, Aire Barcelona, and Sottero and Midgley). I knew I found my dress when I did not want to try on anymore, it was the Aire Barcelona gown names Dalma. Be aware though that Aire Barcelona is a higher priced bridal collection starting ar $1200 and running well up to $5000 however the quality and designs were amazing. We then picked out a veil to match along with a set of jewerly. It was a one-stop shop (without shoes however) I was lucky enough to pick out bridesmaids and tuxedos all one day :) I would recommend this store to anyone in Rhode Island and Mass. and I was not surprised to see that they were voted best of weddings by The Knot. The only thing I can say is to be upfront about your budget and open with styles, they are great salesgirls with a good intuition for selecting bridal gowns.
Pros: Great bridal lines that are exclusive and great sales persons
Cons: They can get busy so try to make an appointment
