After having visited another boutique bridal shop trying on tons of gowns to learn my preferred style and the "Walmart of weddings" having a terrible experience, I was completely blown away by the experiences I had while visiting I Do I Do. I had called and made an appointment for myself and my maids of honor to visit.. I had a list of must haves for my gown based on what worked for my body and feeling I wanted for my wedding.. We were pleasantly greeted by Mary, my amazing consultant, offered cookies and treats as well as tea, water etc. She pulled a few gowns that met my descriptions, including one I had really liked from a previous try on, but she also brought a few I may be interested in.. She mad me feel completely comfortable trying on, asking me questions to learn about me, my style, my wedding and my fiancé and bridal party.. Mary took pictures of each gown and later emailed them to me for reference.. I immediately felt a connection with Mary, even being asked later by my Maid of Honor if I had known her or met her before. She made the entire appointment all about me and reassured me that I had time to decide and order my dress. She didn't pressure me to make any kind of decisions that day. She invited me back with my Mother and future Mother in law, and the visit was just the same. We were offered Mimosas, cookies and desserts and she had my preffered gown ready with some additional options. I was able to again walk along the "runway" featuring a fabulous mirror to see the dress from every angle.. I shared the stage with another bride and it was quite the "bridal party." I again, wasn't pressured to make any decisions and sent an email with a beautiful message and pictures. I went back on my own for a 3rd visit with Mary. We sat on the couch for a good hour and a half talking about everything from work to the wedding to colors, bouquets, pictures, etc. she shared her ideas, recommendations and contacts. It was just like sitting with a friend.. I again wasn't pressured to make any decisions, but on this 3rd visit, I said "I Do" to my dress!! She made sure we had all the details, told me when my dress was expected to be in, gave me options and alternatives and offered any assistance that I may need in the coming months. Not only was Mary fabulous, but the entire staff as well, everyone greeted me like I was a friend, not just a bride with a credit card like other shops.. My dress is expected to be in late summer, at which point I will update my review, but my feeling can best be described as this is, on the day of my wedding, I truly believe that I won't have any concerns or issues with my gown.. I have the trust and faith in the I Do I Do team that my dress will be a dream come true standing next to my best friend on the day I say I Do. Thank you a million Mary! read more
