"Learning From The Experts" - How to find the Perfect Bridal Salon?


Lets hear from the Editor of St. Louis Bride Magazine:

Before a bride invests the better part of the year finding, fitting and outfitting the perfect wedding gown, she should first take a little time to shop around for the perfect bridal shop. After all, the staff at the bridal salon is going to play a key part in the bride’s overall happiness in the months leading up to the big day.

Here, the experts suggest a few things to look for when finding the bridal salon that’s right for her.

Even when a bride is “just looking,” it is always best for her to call ahead and arrange an appointment with the salon, so that she can receive the most attentive customer service.
Don’t just size up the merchandise. Are the fitting rooms well appointed? Is the lighting suitable for inspecting the details of a dress? Do the floor samples seem to be worn out?

Try to find a friend there. A Bride should feel the consultant she works with it not only going to be her advocate in the purchasing and tailoring of a gown, but is also going to give her kid, honest opinions during the entire process.

Don’t’ be afraid to ask any questions. A bridal consultant’s main job is to make the bride happy.

Check out the other people in the store. Do the other clients appear to be happy? Do they seem to be having a good experience?
