88 days and counting. I arrived at the Wedding Shoppe determined to find the one.
Just twenty days earlier on June 9th, my now fiancé Eric had dropped to one knee and popped the question. In love and ready, we decided a year of planning was not for us; we picked the date, September 24, 2010. As romantic as it seemed we quickly realized there was much to do and not much time to do it. At the top of the list was my wedding dress. I knew that I was well beyond the traditional timeline for ordering a dress and off-the-rack would be my only option. I called the Wedding Shoppe, made my appointment, and hoped for the best.
Before I knew it I was with my mom and sister at the Wedding Shoppe. To my surprise, Eric had also been there that day. When I checked in, I was given a bridal bouquet of pink peonies and told Eric had dropped them off. Peonies are my favorite flower and he knew that I would have had them as our wedding flower if they weren’t out of season in the fall. If we couldn’t have them for our wedding he thought I should at least have them while I tried on dresses. The appointment was off to a great start.
I had always had it in my head that I would buy a lace trumpet style gown, but once I started trying dresses on I felt like I had already seen that look and I quickly realized I wanted something different, something unique. As I was telling the consultant this, she goes, “That’s perfect, because I just pulled a dress that I think you’re going to love. It’s really different.” It was perfect. It was romantic, flowy, and had the most beautiful detail of petals on the skirt. It was the one. And the best part, I got to take it home with me.
88 days later I put on a dress that was more than I ever could have imagined and walked down the aisle to Eric – all in an off-the-rack dress.

I was on the hunt for the perfect wedding gown and found that The Wedding Shoppe carried the designer dresses I was looking for. When I called to try a few on they didn't have the model numbers I was looking for but instead gave me ones that were simular in style and cut. Ashley who was our Wedding Shoppe customer service rep was wonderful with this process and helped me find exactly what I was looking for without actually trying on any of the dresses I had picked out. That night I ordered my wedding gown since Ashley told me it could take up to 24 weeks to arrive and it came the following week. It was even more beautiful then I could have imagined. Ashley did a great job explaining how the dress I wanted would look compaired to the ones I tried on. Needless to say it was scary waiting for a dress that I never saw or tried on but Ashley did a wonderful job and it turned out to be more beautiful then expected.
