I'd always heard scare stories of wedding dress shopping: too overwhelming, too many choices, too much pressure, stressful and complicated, sticker shock, etc. Imagine my delighted surprise when, by contrast, my experience at Marie Gabriel Couture was NONE of those! Instead, I felt relaxed the entire time, listened to, respected, and valued. I was given just enough options to feel like I had excellent choices, but not so many that I was completely overwhelmed. The stylist I worked with respected my wishes and my tastes while encouraging me to try on one or two styles I hadn't considered before, and only showed me options within my price range. As I tried on each dress, I received encouraging feedback without feeling like I was being "convinced" to fall in love with one dress or another. My parents, who attended with me, also felt completely relaxed and, as I was totally taken care of by the stylist, they got to sit back and just relax and enjoy the experience. I didn't know I'd find my dress that day, but the choice was obvious, and I selected and purchased my dress within two hours. This was a month ago, and I'm still giddy about my dress, have zero regrets, and am so happy I went to Marie Gabriel Couture. I HIGHLY recommend them if you want to feel relaxed, beautiful, supported, and cared for during your wedding dress shopping experience.
