Despite a miscommunication regarding the start time of my appointment that was entirely my fault,…read morethey still managed to keep my appointment, even if we had less time than we would have if I had been there on time.
Before we got started, my consultant, Adriana, asked me what style I was looking for, what I thought I'd feel comfortable in, and some personal details regarding wedding theme, colors, hobbies. She immediately was able to lead me to the type of dress I was looking for and I picked a few to try on. The second dress, a blush-toned A-line with a floral pattern was the immediate favorite from my mom and bridesmaids and Adriana assured me that alterations could be made to add off-the-shoulder sleeves, which was something I loved on another dress, but that the one I chose didn't have. She recommended a few shops that work closely with the boutique to make alterations.
Though we were a little pressed for time, we made efficient use of that time and I didn't feel rushed at all. I tried on 4 of the 5 dresses that we picked out and as someone who hates standing in front of a mirror to try on clothes, I did not feel any of that self-consciousness when trying on the dresses. I felt heard, valued, comfortable, and myself since some of the dresses felt more elegant, more princess-y, or more proper and the one I decided on was definitely "me".
They have payment plans, which is great for a bride on a budget and the price was so reasonable, which is one of the reasons I picked them.
Adriana also made the time to make my fiancè and me little trinkets for our champagne glasses with charms that included our initials, our wedding colors, and a dog and mountains, which was such a considerate touch to an already lovely experience.
I would recommend this place highly for the price, the variety, the experience, the consideration (especially if you hate clothes shopping, as I do), and the fact that I didn't feel pressured to make a decision. Thank you so much to Adriana for all of your advice, recommendations, kindness, and help.
