I had a total of 4 appointments at various bridal salons scheduled, but the Bridal Collection ended up being the best for my daughter. My daughter looking for Maggie Sottero retailers via The Knot, and Bridal Collection appeared within a reasonable distance from my search area. After reading several reviews and browsing their website, me and my daughter were convinced we had to add Bridal Collection to my list. My daughter was fortunate to book an early Saturday appointment with myself and her sister. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Madelin and other staff members. Madelin introduced herself as my daughter's stylist, and wasted no time in encouraging me to select as many gowns as I liked. I showed her a picture of cuts I liked, and she led me to the area of the shop that carried those styles. There was much to choose from! After making 8 selections, I began fitting, she was extra helpful in getting me zipped up, adjusting the samples to fit my body as best as possible, and laying out the trains of each dress(where applicable), also that I had the best representation of the final product. She was also kind enough to allow my sister to take photographs- which was super helpful in making my decision. Believe it or not, I knew the first one I tried on was the one! I tried all my selections, never less, and there was actually a close runner up that I said yes to, on account of my mom and sisters reaction. LOL once the excitement whittled, however, they recalled the first dress with me because they love it too, and after reviewing photographs, I was certain my initial choice was the right one.
Madelin was patient through my decision-making process, and it made the experience that much more incredible. I also appreciated the fact that even though I am fairly late in my dress process(6 months to go!) Madelin did not give me the least bit of anxiety or pressure about it(while other salons did that just over the phone).
My appointment ended with measurement, payment, and logistics. Madelin was thorough in talking measurements, as well as explaining upcoming appointments, alterations, color swatches, and payment information. I met Mike and another stylist during my measurements, and they were great too! So all together the entire team was genuine, and they all took the time to make sure I was comfortable with every detail, every step of the way. I highly recommended The Bridal Collection for stress free, professional, and truly delightful dress shopping experience. read more
