After my experiences with three other bridal shops...
After my experiences with three other bridal shops, I still cannot get over how bad my time at Gown Gallery was. After several e-mails back and forth before my visit about what we were looking for (including inspiration photos, item numbers, etc.), I was looking forward to my visit. However, when I arrived, the staff were completely unprepared. For some reason, they thought I was looking for a dress for my brother's wedding.... I'm an only child, and I was there to shop for MY wedding dress. I had also made an appointment for my mom to try on a couple MOB gowns, which also seemed to catch them by surprise. Further, our consultant came off as scattered, and she did not seem to know anything about the inventory. When I or the other girls with me asked questions about possible colors, alterations, etc. the consultant either seemed to ignore us completely or gave us very vague answers. Also, I was left by myself in the dressing room for several minutes with no one around not sure what the heck was going on. I'm so glad this wasn't my first experience shopping for a wedding dress because I probably would have had a total breakdown if I thought this was how it was going to be. Thank goodness for the gals at True Society and Savvy Bridal who were prepared for my visit and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable throughout the process and made me feel excited about the experience. I wish I had heeded the warnings ahead of time from others who said they had bad experiences.
