If I could give this store more stars for customer service, I would.
Long story short, I went in with a gaggle of my closest gals on a busy Saturday. Bre, my stylist, was above and beyond awesome. She made me feel super comfortable and did her best to help bring me the dresses she thought I'd like (which is a hard task considering how indecisive I am). Between the craziness of brides everywhere and the pressure of having my moms and BFF's with me, I said "yes to the dress" after putting on the first dress that I felt good in. Relieved to get that part of wedding planning out of the way, I went home and relaxed. As I sat there, I looked at myself in pictures in the dress I had just bought was filled with instant regret. All evening I had tears in my eyes thinking, "What have I DONE!?" I gave it until Tuesday and looked at the photos again. Full blown tears this time. It looked beautiful on me, but... it wasn't "the one". It just wasn't "me". I was even more scared, because my dress was final sale.
So, the next morning right at open I called the store and explained everything to the manager, Shara (spelling may be wrong, I'm sorry!). She very calmly and sweetly explained to me that it's all okay and that we can do an exchange for equal or greater value. She set me up for an appointment a couple days later and asked if I'd like to be with Bre again. I said I definitely wanted to be with Bre, because she's incredible (and well, it's not her fault I made a hasty decision!). Two days later, I went back in and all of the ladies greeted me with kindness, calming my embarrassment for having to be there again. Both Shara and Bre spent an hour and a half with me trying on dresses, re-trying on dresses, adding different options for alterations, shoes and veils. The hour and a half FLEW by and after trying on a dress I had previously tried, but this time with all sorts of alterations, I said "yes to the dress"... again. And this time for good. I'm so excited about my dress and I feel confident in my decision this time. It's what I've always pictured wearing.
So... a GIANT thank you to Bre and Shara for being excellent at their jobs, and also excellent and kind humans. You made planning for my big day so much less stressful. read more
