| - I give this bridal salon 2.5 stars. It wasn't horrible, but it definitely wasn't the bridal store experience I was imagining. The building is old, a little run down and has a musty smell on the inside when you walk in. My appointment was at 10 o'clock and when I got there I was waiting outside the store with all the other 10 o'clock appointment brides. It would be nice it they could open around 9:30, that way there would be no long line right at 10 o'clock when the doors open. I was assigned a "bridal consultant," but I had to share her with another bride which was frustrating. I was expecting a more salon style experience where you tell your consultant what you are interested in and they bring back gowns that match your taste and size. After a brief tour, we were set free to just find dresses, which is near impossible to know what they will look like when they are just hanging on the rack. I wear a normal dress size 12-14 depending on the brand which is equivalent to 16-18 in wedding dress sizes. The store had very limited dresses in these sizes and the majority were wedding dress sizes 6, 8, 10 and 12 (normal sizes 2, 4, 6 and 8). There are not too many brides who actually fit those sizes. Probably the thing I disliked most about this store was my consultant. She was rude, seemed annoyed that she had to help me get in dresses, talked entirely about her engagement and asked me nothing about mine, and constantly flaunted that she gets to "model" wedding dresses at the bridal shows in town. I found some dresses that I am interested in, but I most definitely will not be purchasing them at this store.
