| - Honestly, Sash & Bustle is just the place to feel like a glamorous non pretentious bride.
From the moment you walk in you are catered to, there is no pressure, only leisure. Vanessa & Andrea are the perfect owners - it's no wonder they are sisters!
Initially my first appointment was with Andrea who was everything to me that day, she was helpful, offered positive criticism, sized up my body and helped me find the perfect shape. Vanessa was with another bride but would swing around the other side of the room to take a peak whenever she could.
My budget was healthy and all of their gorgeous dresses hanging on their racks were up for my choosing! I tried on several dresses from Sash & Bustle and they all could of been serious contenders. The fit, the flare, the glamour ... OH MY!
I had tried on about 20 dresses before visiting Sash & Bustle, salons that included: White, Pearl Bridal House, and Beckers with very little luck... I was given amazing advice that your salon stylist is the most important person to you that day, you've got to have a connection with your stylist because that really helps in the process. With Andrea and Vanessa it was easy - it was like shopping with my girlfriends - we just clicked ... I knew after my first appointment my dress would be found at Sash & Bustle.
I returned for my second appointment (yesterday!) with Vanessa to show some of my bridesmaids the contenders. S&B we're hosting the Hayley Paige trunk show and I could not stop thinking about one of my Hayley Paige contender dresses! Upon arrival I was greeted like an old friend, BIG hugs, introductions to my friends and we were off to the races and quickly went to work. I pulled a few new gowns, a few contenders and of course, the one I couldn't stop thinking about!!
Once again I tried on some new shapes, gowns -- ALL were stunning! I was a little scared I would change my mind for I loved them all! I ended up saving my favourite from the first appointment for last ... and I'm so glad I did, for when I came out the dressing room the salon went quite and everyone tearing. I glanced one look down the dress and up at the full length mirror and just sobbed. This was MY dress.
I couldn't of been happier in that moment and am so honoured to call myself a Sash & Bustle bride. Thank you Andrea & Vanessa for working so hard to carve out such a fabulous place for brides.
Good luck to you reading this, you bride-to-be! Now go and kill it!
