Dear Savanna and Wedding Shoppe team, I'd like to share my exciting tale of The Wedding Shoppe's top notch service and value. Second to none, The Wedding Shoppe became my best friend for wedding preparation. I got engaged July of 2009, I went dress shopping in August of 2009, and my wedding was in late May of 2010. On a busy Friday afternoon, my mom, mother-in-law-to-be and maid-of-honor joined me as we visited two shops, the second being The Wedding Shoppe. Prior to arriving to The Wedding Shoppe I had a fairly bleak perception of wedding gowns and options from the overpriced boutique we mistakenly stopped at first. Then we landed at The Wedding Shoppe a couple hours later. Coming in for my appointment I was instantly impressed by the organization and streamline process that was underway. I thought I knew what I wanted, based on magazines. The Wedding Shoppe team encouraged me to try all styles. I did and I found it... "THE" dress... not just "A" formal white dress. I put on my dream dress and endless tears of joy overflowed from myself and my female comrades in the wedding gown trek with me. I talked with The Wedding Shoppe fitting team. They were personal. They cared about ME. I wasn't "just another bride" or "just another sale" as I felt at the first shop I encountered that day. Really? I'm making friends here? (I thought to myself). Okay, that is cool! After ordering the dress, the fittings and alterations came. I was surprised how easy it was. The Wedding Shoppe made me feel at ease the whole time, and never rushed. During a second fitting, I remember specifically when Savanna winked and said to me with a smile, "Go ahead and just stand in it for a bit and enjoy it." Ah, encouragement to feel yet again like a princess, like royalty. I reveled in the secret few minutes I had to stare in the mirror, wondering what my fiance and family would think on the big day. Savanna and Hannah talked to me as friends, everyone on the alterations team was fabulous. I found myself looking for excuses to stop by The Wedding Shoppe the few months prior to my wedding just because I was in St. Paul that day. I quickly found another wonderful reason to stop by. I had The Wedding Shoppe design and assemble a custom hair comb for me to wear on the big day. It was made from ear bobs and old mismatched jewelry from my late grandmother. It was a way to incorporate her presence there. It was special and beautiful and the hair piece matched the dress perfectly. My experience at The Wedding Shoppe has been unparalleled by any retailer (wedding related or not). I've already referred several of my friends there and hope for a reason to visit again. Maybe an opera formal dress? A cocktail dress? I'm not too worried. I know I'll be there in the next couple months. Thank you Wedding Shoppe! Much love, Laura Greenwell

We wish to express our thanks to the Wedding Shoppe Team for helping our daughter, Barbara Jean, choose her wedding dress. It was the perfect dress and she looked stunning in it. She and Dan were married on Minnesota's North Shore in beautiful Grand Marais on August 15, 2009. Enclosed are a few photos that photographer Stephan Hoglund took on that memorable day.

Hi, my name is Christy Hollingsworth, (married name is now Christy Strom, but I’m still getting used to that!) and I married my Aaron on September 25, 2010. I call him “my Aaron” because I have a sister who is also named Erin and because no one ever knows who I am talking about I differentiate between the two by “my Aaron” and “sister Aaron”. I purchased my dress a little over a year before our wedding date. I had found it in a magazine and called all over MN to find a store that had it on stock and no one did. I’ve heard the reputation that the Wedding Shoppe has and really wanted to do business with there so after trying on a few dresses to no avail, I brought in the picture of the one I had found in the magazine. They found a similar dress by the same designer so I was able to see if the shape and look worked for me and after a lot of thinking, I ordered the dress without even trying it on. I loved the picture so much so I just prayed I would love it on me as well! It came in and it magically fit me the way I had hoped. I didn’t really think too much about the dress after that until I was being fitted because I wasn’t too thrilled with the way the bustle looked. It seemed to take away the look of the dress because the train wasn’t very long to begin with and with the bustle it looked like a straight up and down dress with no flare at the bottom. I decided not to bustle it because of that, but I admit I was a little worried that I wasn’t as in love with the dress as I was to begin with. All of that changed though on the wedding day, putting everything together from the shoes to the jewelry to the veil, it was PERFECT. I have never felt more beautiful in my life! I wore my dress with pride that day and think I love it even more now than I did in the beginning. I had so many compliments on how it suited ME and my personality so I think I can say I know myself pretty darn well to be able to order my wedding dress without even trying it on! We had a fabulous celebration and the look on Aaron’s face when we first saw each other is something I will never forget. His tears of happiness and love will forever be a favorite memory of our wedding day. Thank you very much for your wedding guidance and to the custom fitting team in helping my dress fit me perfectly! Sincerely, Christy Strom
