I probably went to 6 different bridal studios in searching for my dream wedding dress. The strangest thing is that I actually found it here! It is definitely not the most appealing bridal shop on the market but the outer appearance did not affect my burning desire to find the perfect wedding dress!
Faces 顏妝 used to be on East Beaver Creek Road. It is now located inside Shoppes of the Parkway next to Sheraton Parkway Hotel. They are not quite Googleable and they are not on Yelp yet. So I hope this review helps!
Connie, the store owner, was very experienced, helpful, easy to work with and super down to earth. My mom really liked her... I think because they can related to each other - the Asian mom thing lol. We actually ended up hiring Connie and her assistant as our hair and make-up artists on the wedding day. They did the hair and make-up for my mom and all my bridesmaids. She followed me the whole entire day making sure I looked fantastic with new hairstyles and make-up every time I changed into something new :)
The beautiful wedding dress was love at first sight and I actually bought mine here instead of renting it. For this dress, renting was like $600 (no alterations allowed!), buying was $900 including alterations to fit your size, and Connie will dry clean it for you before you pick it up... so why not :) Their traditional Chinese qipao was also worth buying, and it looked gorgeous on me (alterations also included) ^^
Most bridal studios offer packages where they lend you minimum 3 dresses (usually 1 wedding dress, 1 traditional Chinese qipao, and 1 evening gown). I bought all mine... I know, baller right? hahaha.. I find that your selection is quite limited when you rent... I have more control when I buy my own. Afterall, you want to look your BEST on your wedding day, right girls? :) read more
