| - My trip to Glitter & Grit was the best wedding gown shopping decision I made.
Before my appointment at Glitter & Grit, I visited one traditional bridal store that carries the most popular big wedding designers out there. It was not a good experience. The store was busy, loud, and stressful, and I didn't see anything that I really liked. On top of that, everything I tried on was uncomfortable, heavy, and much of the fabric felt cheap and itchy, even though they were not inexpensive dresses.
I was disappointed, but everything about my experience at Glitter & Grit made up for my first experience. I loved everything that was in the store, and many of the gowns I had found on the designer's websites were in the store for me to try on (this was not the case at the standard issue bridal store I visited first). The sample sizes are also closer to U.S. street sizes at Glitter & Grit than at the traditional bridal stores, so that's a plus.
All of the dresses were incredibly HIGH quality, and all of the gowns are handmade in the U.S. Many are organic and/or vegan gowns. And most importantly, everything felt so nice and comfortable (my friends couldn't stop touching everything I tried on).
I have never been drawn to the immensely popular ball gowns that you see in most of the bridal magazines, so several of the styles at Glitter & Grit were appealing to me. I found the dress for me, and even had to decide between a few that I really loved. But, even if you like a more traditional gown, I still recommend that you visit Glitter & Grit because there are many different types of styles, and I believe they have something for everyone.
Most importantly, my friends and I had FUN here. Erin is a natural at what she does and is very friendly and insightful. The consultations are by private appointment only. This means that it will be just you in the boutique for the 90 minute appointment which means no stress.
If you want a beautiful, special, high quality bridal gown and a stress-free and fun shopping experience, you need to go to Glitter & Grit.
