They have a great selection at a variety of price points and my consultant, Barbara, was very sweet and helpful. \n\nSince I was shopping on a weekday, I did not need an appointment, and although a couple of other brides were shopping at the same time, the atmosphere was very calm. After talking about my wedding a little bit with Barbara, she gave my mom and I a tour of the shop (gowns are organized by style, except for the sample section which is by size) and told us to start pulling dresses to try. She mostly left us to our own devices for this part, although she did make a couple suggestions based on what we were pulling. \n\nAs I was trying on the gowns, Barbara answered all of my questions about fit and alterations (which were numerous!) and pulled a few more styles for me to try based on what I was liking and disliking about some of my choices. I really appreciated her gentle honesty when a particular gown didn't flatter--what a pro! \n\nI ended up purchasing my wedding gown from a different boutique, but my mom and I both loved Mecklenburg Bridal Gallery."^^ . .
