Introduction
The Wedding Industry
We wanted a shopping experience that was both relaxed and also fun! Shopping for a dress shouldn't be stressful, and it should be a time to make memories with loved ones. Our boutique is decorated with lots of flowers, which we love because flowers are like brides- they come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and they are all beautiful! We love meeting new brides every day and getting to know their individual style, helping them find the dress that fits their vision for their dream day! We have tons of great photo ops and signs throughout the store to make the day a bride finds her dress a day to remember!
Company History
We started out as a 1 room shoppe with 2 stylists, and as the years have passed we have expanded our team adding more talented stylists and moved to a space we genuinely love. Just like our brides, our stylists all have different individual styles and personalities, but most importantly we all truly love what we do!
FAQs
“Do I need to make an appointment?”
Yes, we have four private dressing rooms with comfortable guest seating areas to make your experience personalized with a Bridal Specialist to guide you along the way. Weekends are our busiest time so we ask you schedule your appointment at least two to three weeks in advance. You can request an appointment here or give us a call to set one up!
“How many guests can I bring to my appointment?”
Each bride gets their own personal suite and stylist. Due to space and current CDC guidelines we can allow each bride to bring a maximum of three adult guests with them to their appointment but you are more than welcome to facetime anyone who can’t make it!
“What is your payment policy?”
Payment is due in full at time of purchase. All of our gowns are made to order and can not be cancelled. We accept cash, check or credit card.
“How much do your dresses cost?”
Our dresses range from $1500 -$6000, but the average is $1750-$3500.
“Do your stylists work on commission?”
No, our goal is to help every bride find their dress in a stress free environment! If you loved your stylists service gratuities are never expected but always appreciated.
“Where are you located?”
We are located at 5720 Route 25A in Wading River, New York! We are inside The East Wind Hotel itself on the west facing side of the building, not in the Shoppes at East Wind.
“When should I start to shop for my wedding dress?”
We recommend a bride orders her dress between 9-12 months before the wedding to feel comfortable. Some dresses can take up to 7 months to come in depending on how much handwork goes into making it since everything is made to order. Many brides purchase their dress even further in advance, just to make wedding planning easier, since the focus and theme is around YOU! We also want to make sure there is enough time for alterations once the dress arrives, which we recommend starting 2 months before the wedding to cover at least a few fittings with your bridal seamstress.
“What size dresses do you carry?”
We carry sizes 8-32, brides come in every size, so do our gowns! How a dress fits depends on the manufacturer and their size chart, bridal gowns tend to run 2-3 sizes smaller than standard street clothes.
“Do you allow pictures?”
Yes we do, as long as it allows a Bridal Specialist to stay on track with the appointment so the bride receives full attention for any questions and options. We are also happy to take a group picture once the bride finds her dream dress!
“What else do you carry?”
We carry veils, hairpieces, and jewelry as well. If you are interested in any accessories, we are happy to setup an accessories styling appointment. Please call us to schedule.
“Will I need alterations?”
North Fork Bridal orders your gown as close to your size as possible, according to the dress manufacturer’s size chart. Almost always a bride will need some alterations to make the dress fit as best as possible.
BOLI Love!
The store is just gorgeous and has such a vibe and made picking out my dream dress stress free and enjoyable!
I worked with Jenn and had a great experience. I was originally worried they would be out of my budget but I found my dream dress WAY under the budget I had in my head. They don’t do alterations but offer a few places nearby that they work with.
I LOVED my dress and had so much fun doing the bridal experience. I would recommend this to any bride. It was so fun and will be a core memory saying “yes to the dress” !
This place was an absolute dream! Chrissy was my assistant here and she understood my wants/needs and my vision. The place is decorated so beautifully and it was such a great shopping experience. They make it so special for us brides.

I had such an awesome experience at North Fork Bridal Shoppe yesterday! I booked the Cue the Confetti package and it was so worth it. I was able to bring up to 10 people with me, had some delicious champagne, and yummy cake. Everyone made us feel so welcomed and made me feel super comfortable. My consultants Ava and Victoria were awesome. They were really informative, patient, and took their time to listen to my pros and cons of the dresses I tried on.
I had the most incredible experience at NFBS and I can't recommend them enough! My hubby treated me to the VIB package and boy do they know how to make a bride-to-be feel special. The atmosphere of the shop is adorable, welcoming, and elegant—perfect for the moment when you're shopping for your dream dress (with tons of cute photo ops too). The staff was so friendly and attentive, making me feel like a priority from start to finish. I was able to try on several dresses that matched my vision and ended up finding the one—and the moment I slipped it on, I just knew. I will forever be grateful for the wonderful experience they gave me, and I can’t recommend them enough to any bride-to-be!
I booked the Signature Experience at North Fork Bridal! Ava was INCREDIBLE. Based on the style I liked, Ava was able to pull similar options for me to try. She genuinely listened to my feedback on every single dress to find me the perfect one. It was such a lovely experience. I will also say the shop has great communication! Everyone who works there is great.
Not only was this place glamorous, they understood their assignment! Tried on 5 dresses before saying yes to the dress. Happy staff & helpful. They really took the time to listen to what you wanted or what you hated.
Truly a girl's dream! There’s a reason everyone goes here. From the friendliness of the staff, to the photo ops, to their selection, it truly has it all! I did the princess package which had them shut down the store for just us and provide snacks and wine. It was well worth it in my book!
I was very nervous about trying dresses on. I didn’t have an idea of what I wanted. I was nervous with my body and they made me SO incredibly comfortable. I ended up with a dress I loved and thought I would never try on!
Y’all were not kidding about NFB. Everyone is so sweet there. We had little sweet treats and champagne as we tried on, and even got to make our own custom bouquet on the way out! Chrissy helped me out and she was like the dress whisperer. She is so amazing and hyped me up the whole time!
Everyone at North fork is so sweet and welcoming. They let me take my time and knew this was such a hard decision for me. I’m very indecisive and I just wanted to make sure I picked the right one. Let me tell you, this dress is absolutely perfect and I’m so happy that my stylist Jenn was so kind. She made sure I felt comfortable and that I was going with the one I wanted.
Honey you go there for the experience. They are so sweet they listened to everything I asked and I bought the first dress I tried on. The store is so freaking cute and they bring you rose if you say yes to the dress. You can't complain!
I was so stressed about finding the perfect dress but the women at NFBS made the process comfortable and easy, and made me feel like a princess the whole time! They asked me what styles I liked and didn’t like when I made the appointment, and had a bunch of options ready to go based on my personal preferences. When I said Yes to the Dress, they brought out champagne, flowers, a gift bag, and did a little photoshoot with me and my family. My dress/veil was ready for pickup even earlier than originally anticipated, and held up beautifully during the entire ceremony and reception.
On arrival at my appointment, I explained my vision. I was feeling pretty defeated as I had been to about 5 salons prior and could not find anything. I kid you not, the first dress they pulled and put on me, I immediately sobbed and said yes. They were spot on with listening to me and pulling the dress of my dreams. It was a Martina Liana dress (also 10/10). Everyone was such a doll in the salon and super helpful. From ordering my dress and also my veil, it was super easy and organized.
I visited North Fork Bridal two times! The first time was to really figure out what I was looking for and the second is when I said yes to my dress. I went to a few different shops before going back again. Chrissy was incredible to work with. She understood my vision, listened to what I was looking for in my wedding dress, and truly made me feel like I was the most important bride. I felt so confident in my dress and it was all thanks to North Fork Bridal!
I did the VIP bride and had the place to myself and my guests and it was awesome, all of the attendants were so sweet and made it such a fun experience. They really listened to what I was looking for & it was overall just a really nice experience! My dress was an Essence of Australia and I was in love!
very sweet and patient. they asked for feedback on each dress i tried and helped me narrow down to the ONE. I absolutely loved my dress.
My experience at NFBS was amazing. Their space is so gorgeous and they made it so fun! I also could not believe how large their selection was for plus size brides. I can’t recommend them enough!
Found the most amazing dress here after trying only 6 others. They were really great at understanding my style once I showed Inspo pics, but also helpful at letting you know which are more flattering for YOU!
I had such a wonderful experience. I went in with no expectations and Scott delivered with a perfect gown. Since it was my first experience dress shopping, I wanted to check out a few other spots before committing. No other dress or shop compared and I found myself looking back at the pictures of the dress I fell in love with. I made another appointment and said yes to the perfect dress! From start to finish I had a wonderful experience.
I found my dress at North Fork Bridal almost instantly. Everyone who works there is extremely professional, very helpful and SO nice! My dress was perfect! The alterations were also perfect and I fell in love with my dress even more! Strongly recommend going here to look for a wedding dress!
I couldn't be happier with NFBS — not only did they help me find my perfect wedding dress, they went above and beyond in terms of their customer service. I worked with Ali, who was fun, personable, and knowledgeable and who communicated with me every step of the process. 10/10 recommend this business!
The most amazing day and shop.
Ali made the process so simple and stress free! She listened to everything I was looking for and even used her own expertise to suggest dresses I wouldn’t have picked for myself and I found my dress based on her recommendation! It was my first time going dress shopping and I had no idea what to expect but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
