It's not pushy sales people like you find in Carmel and other coastal towns. I wasn't swept into a room and offered champagne. The sales staff allows you to walk around and view without harassment. At one point we were asked if we would like to take a picture of some art we like. Some Fine Arts Museums have changed their policies and now allow photography in parts of their permanent collections. However, they typically ban all photography in special exhibitions, which are often the main reason people are visiting. Galleries are trying to sell art so typically pictures would be ban. I appreciated the gesture. We practiced the best self-control we possibly could however after falling in love with this picture the first visit we had to purchase the second visit. Dreams of Ancients Acrylic on canvas By dusanka kralj We made an offer that we thought was reasonable. The manager at the gallery contacted the artist and before we could get back to Portland our offer was accepted. It was simple and easy. We arranged a pickup date instead of having it delivered. I would recommend stopping in if you're in the area. You never know what piece might catch your attention.

Before I launch into my review, allow me to paint a picture. I gave myself less than two months to…read morefind THE dress. I kept putting it off, mostly because I hate the experience of dressing rooms and the insane pressure to find THE ONE. I had just graduated from college a month prior and the anxiety combined with post grad blues and the fact that most of my bridesmaids were unable to be there was ramping up. Before my fitting, Michelle called to ask more specifics. What did I want, what was my price range, etc. I had an envisioned a dress for months previous but thought I would keep an open mind (especially since my wedding is in two months). THANK GOODNESS I DID! I scheduled an earlier appointment and arrived with my mom and little sister in tow. The gallery had just opened which gave us the entire store to ourselves. I'm very much a bride-on-a-budget so we were mainly shopping from the Outlet. Michelle had put aside a dress that she thought would be cool, didn't pressure me, and I agreed thinking it would be fun. Little did I know, it would be the one. The entire experience was amazing; they served us seasonal mocktails during the fitting, Michelle held up a suit coat in the color of my groom to help me envision the big day clearly, I was able to try on a wonderful selection of gorgeous dresses all within my price range and even one from the Gallery. I didn't feel any condescension for the fact that I was shopping from the outlet and was treated with respect and words of affirmation. I had another appointment later in the day so I didn't nab it up right then and there...but I couldn't get the dress off of my mind. I went back a few hours later and tried it on again. Michelle was so kind, gave me all the time, and the relief when I said yes was very much mutual. She even gave me a hefty discount, which was extremely considerate. I found my NEW dream dress and I couldn't be more ecstatic over it! Can't say enough words of praise for the Bridal Gallery.

Things to know for context:…read more 1)     While losing weight, I am a very plus size bride and was nervous about the whole dress shopping experience. 2)     I have never been wedding dress shopping before. 3)     I did pay extra to ensure we had the salon to ourselves (which I recommend every bride does) Our shopping experience was reserved for a Sunday, and we made the trip down to Salem.  It was just my Maid of Honor and I attending the appointment, however I did have my mom available on Skype to be a part of the experience. Upon arrival we knocked at the door and was greeted by my consultant, Michelle.  She honestly made the appointment.  Her years of experience not only helped me find my perfect dress, but at no point did she make me feel embarrassed or ashamed of my body or the way I looked.  While the dressed could not close at my back, I was able to get them on and envision how I would look the day of my wedding. By the time I put on the third dress (yes, plus size brides, I had options!!!) I just knew that was the one.  Michelle knew exactly what veil and belt would match my dress along with a tiara (per my mom's request) and when it all came together, I was moved to tears.  I didn't ever want to take it off, and cannot wait for my first fitting. I'm very open and honest with my experiences and have even taken some days to really reflect on my appointment and how the day went.  It was so calm, so relaxing and reassuring.  I honestly have no negative comments to report.  There is nothing I wouldn't have changed about my experience and wish I could do it all over again.  Michelle was so honest and open, answered all of my questions, and was even present for any questions my mom had via Skype.  She ensured we all were involved and having it just be my Maid of Honor and I, made for such an intimate experience which I appreciated. Now, on to the things that made it extra special.  My bridesmaids will be in burgundy and Michelle brought over a burgundy dress on a mannequin to stand next to me in my dress.  It was so great o see the color next to mine and really made everything real.  What was also beyond touching was the bridal swag bag that was given to me at my appointment.  I won't reveal what's inside, but my goodness it made me feel like so much more than just a name in an appointment book. Lastly, was the personalized, handwritten thank you note I received from Michelle in the mail.  I will of course add this to my wedding scrapbook along with all the other memories I've gained through this experience. Coming from a bride who honestly thought I would have to pick a wedding dress simply because it fits and not because I love it, (lets face it, bridal has come a long way for plus size brides, but there is still a ways to go) this experience was more than what I could have ever asked for. I'd also like to add that this location is a wonderful spot for the budget conscious bride.  Their prices are amazing for what you receive, so please know that it is possible for you to find the dress of your dreams here.  Thank you Bridal Gallery and Michelle for making me feel so special.
