aaaaah, thank goodness! Shopping for a wedding dress can be incredibly frustrating. If you're like me, you have an image in your head of what you're looking for and after going into 7 other bridal stores in town I was absolutely defeated, sad, and convinced that I was never going to find my dress. Every store seemed to offer all the same designers and all the dresses started looking the same to me. I want something unique! Then I made an appointment to check out Mariee on my lunch break one day. And I met Claire Pettibone!!....not literally (I wish!), but her dresses! And my prayers were answered! I immediately fell in love, but the nice thing about Mariee Bridal is there's none of that high pressure, "if you buy today" pushiness most stores do. So a week later I brought back some friends and said yes to the dress with 100% confidence and a little help from Carrie. Yes, Claire's dresses are pricey, but the store offers other designers that are less expensive if you're on a budget. Thank you Mariee Bridal! I can't wait for my dress to come in!!
