I wish that I could give more than 5 stars for my amazing experience at Lovely. It was that amazing.
I took my mother, my fiance's mother, and my two sisters for what I expected would be a long, stressful day of wedding dress shopping. Lovely was my first stop and the first time that I ever tried on wedding dresses. Shelby was my consultant and I could not have been more lucky to have been paired with her. She was PERFECT!
I had actually reached out to Lovely about a month and a half before my appointment about specific gown styles. They didn't have them in the shop, but were able to lend them in from the designer at my request. I was so impressed with that before even arriving.
Once I got there, Shelby asked me a few questions about my wedding, my style, and what I was (and wasn't!) looking for. She asked me my budget and that was the only time the price conversation even came up which is EXACTLY what I wanted. I didn't need to know each time I put on or off a dress what the price was.
After I told Shelby a bit, she took me to look at a few dresses and got a sense of what I might like. She came in with a few dresses. The first one was nice, but not THE dress. She was really great at figuring out what I did and didn't like about each dress and what my personality and wedding personality was like. I wasn't settled on a silhouette but I was between ballgown and more fitted. I tried both on and neither were really ME. She managed to take the things I liked about each dress and found THE one. I would not have picked it out myself, and before I put it on, I wasn't sold. But as soon as I put it on, it was magic. I tried on a few more dresses after that, fun, clean, sparkly, but that dress was just in everyone's mind. I put it on again, and then we went out to the front room, put on a long cathedral veil and headpiece...and it was just IT.
Shelby was amazing! She was always there when we needed her, but left us alone to think and talk as well. She wasn't super pushy but made sure I got exactly what I wanted. My appointment never felt rushed or anything like that. It was amazing. I ordered my dress that day and now and excitedly waiting for it to come in!
