I purchase my bridesmaid for my cousins wedding I was in from the Wedding Shoppe. They are always busy and it's easy to see why! So much variety and awesome help! The staff help you find what you're looking for and are time sensitive but not pushy. They're great about suggesting dresses that are similar, trendy or work for each person's body type, depending on what you're looking for. Huge bonus--they're located in a neighborhood with an active nightlife so you can enjoy the dress hunting even after it ends at the Wedding Shoppe. Thanks for making both dress purchases such an enjoyable experience!

I’ve often heard people say that their wedding day was the best day of their life. I didn’t believe it until our big day finally came.
March 12, 2010: The proposal came unexpectedly. Completely. My family flew out to Palm Springs, California for a week-long family vacation of golfing, tanning and relaxing. My then-boyfriend Josh met us out there and (to make a long story short) popped the big question overlooking the beautiful Shadow Ridge Golf Course within hours of our arrival.
The next day, since Josh and I (crazily) decided to plan our wedding for August 2010, the planning began. Our vacation turned into one big wedding planning festival. My poor dad hung in there with my mom and I as we immediately started compiling the guest list, possible venue choices, photographers, caterers, florists… and on and on. Overwhelming to say the least.
My life became a constant blur of color schemes, budget sheets, wedding gowns and cupcakes. I remember somewhere in the midst of all the craziness telling one of my bridesmaids that “anyone who says that this wedding planning stuff is fun, is seriously delusional.” Then, I found it. “THE DRESS.” The moment where your breath catches and you know that you found the dress you’ll be wearing when you promise to spend the rest of your life with the man you love more than anything in the world. It’s indescribable. When the woman helping me at The Wedding Shoppe saw the look on my face, she knew. I turned to her and said, “Do I pay now or later?” And that was it. August 6, 2010: Our wedding day. The whole day came and went like a flash of lightning. It was short but spectacular. Walking down the aisle, I felt the presence of everyone I love, standing up for Josh and I, supporting us as we made the ultimate commitment to each other. And in that one moment, when we looked at each other, the world stopped for us. Just for a minute, one incredible minute.

After securing the date at the church and reception site, finding my wedding dress was next on my list. I knew exactly where I was going to get my dress, The Wedding Shoppe.
Ever since I can remember I have envisioned purchasing my wedding gown from them. I made my appointment and when the day came, my bridesmaid’s came with to help me choose. I had pictured in my mind what I thought I wanted the dress to look like, but was still willing to try one ones that others suggested as well. When I got to the third dress, one that my sister had chosen and not anything I had said I wanted, I hesitantly tried it on and actually ended up absolutely loving it! Right then I knew it was “the one,” just like when I met my fiancé I knew he was “the one,” as well. It sounds so cheesy, but it is so very true. It was such a great feeling to know that I had my wedding dress picked out right away. Then I could start choosing the wedding color, bridesmaids dresses, and wedding tuxes.
It was so great getting everything in one place; it made it really simple to make sure that the colors were all coming together and to be able to work with one group of people in one location rather than going to all different shops. The staff at the Wedding Shoppe was so helpful and made the experience one that I will remember for a life time.
