Being a second time bride I wanted something a little less 'bridal' and a little more sophisticated and original. I love Martina Liana and Mariee carries this designer. I thoroughly enjoyed the small, intimate atmosphere. Carrie was helping me while training a new consultant and yet managed to make me feel like I was not having to share my time between her and the new consultant. I was not rushed or pressured and they were totally fabulous to my 10year old daughter. They don't carry dresses for her, but while I was trying on, the other staff there was helping her look online for her 'perfect dress' and they let her try on all the shoes and headpieces she could get her hands on :) I understand some of the comments about a smaller salon with less choices, but my experience there EXCEEDED my expectations. For me, less choices = less confusion
