I just wanted to write and say Thank You for the most amazing Wedding Dress and for making finding that perfect Dress one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences of my Wedding!
I was so nervous coming into the store… with all those dresses I figured I’d just “look around” any maybe get some ideas for dresses. I mean there was no way I was going to find the dress for me amongst the endless racks of dresses in all those different styles.
After skimming the first row of beautiful white and ivory gowns I heard someone say, “Would you like to try some on?”. Who? Me? No, I couldn’t. I mean I’m just perusing today. I don’t have time to actually get a dress! “What’s your Style? I can pull some things together for you in the fitting room?”. Well, there was that beautiful strapless number I saw in the window on my way in… I have always wanted strapless. Oh, and this one with the tulle and lace appliqué, that might be pretty too! Oh, why not, it can’t hurt!
Two hours later, there I am standing at the register checking out with the most elegant, beautiful, made-for-me gown I could have ever wished for… a huge smile plastered on my face! It wouldn’t have happened with out you! …And that cute strapless number that brought me into the store!
Looking back on photos I am still head-over-heels for that Wedding Gown and wouldn’t change a thing! I truly could not have been happier.
Thank you for making me feel so welcome and taken care of, for fishing through racks and racks of dresses to find one right for me, and for making sure I said “Yes, to the dress”!

Carolyn, you were my consultant on June 4th and I just have to thank you for the wonderful experience. You did a fantastic job picking dresses for me and helped me find the dress! My friends and future mother-in-law raved about you and their experience at The Wedding Shoppe. I'm so impressed and grateful that you worked with us. I did have the ideal dress shopping experience because of you and your store I could not be happier about that day. You were so kind and positive. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

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.
