My experiences Firstly Blush Bridal - my first time there, I went as a bridesmaid and the sounding board for my friend the bride. I was told in no uncertain terms, out of earshot of the bride that I was to shut up, this was her day and that I was NOT to have an opinion. I will tell you one thing, the bride and myself had NOTHING good to say to those people. I called to complain to the owner before I made my own appointment - I told her that if ANYONE tells my mother that, I will slap them in the face - Literally - I was SO angry. I'm not a violent girl but how I was treated was awful and if someone dared to treat my mother like that?? gloves would be off. Anyhow - I spoke to the owner....she asked me to email her the details after speaking with her, she didn't call to follow up, she didn't even offer an apology. I tell absolutely everyone I can to NEVER go there. Bisou Bridal - lovely staff and dresses - totally accomodating. I liked the variety - I found my runner up dress there. The space was great and they let us bring in coffee! Bryan's Bridal - they took us in without an appointment which was completely awesome of them. no complaints Clara's Coutour - Great variety and price point - knowledgable staff. Something Blue - When I first went to this shop it is stunning with the ridiculously high ceilings - they carried all sorts of designer dresses from Vera Wang to Jenny Packham (who i LOVE but sadly cannot afford). Now they only carry their house designer line. The lady who was helping me insisted that I try on a particular dress which turned out to be the dress I bought. It looked like nothing on the hanger and she convinced me to do it now I have her to thank for it! They have been so awesome - letting me trying on the dress a bazillion times to make sure I made the right decision before I actually put the deposit down! Ask for Jija if you want to take a look.
