Dear Savanna and Wedding Shoppe team,
I'd like to share my exciting tale of The Wedding Shoppe's top notch service and value. Second to none, The Wedding Shoppe became my best friend for wedding preparation.
I got engaged July of 2009, I went dress shopping in August of 2009, and my wedding was in late May of 2010. On a busy Friday afternoon, my mom, mother-in-law-to-be and maid-of-honor joined me as we visited two shops, the second being The Wedding Shoppe. Prior to arriving to The Wedding Shoppe I had a fairly bleak perception of wedding gowns and options from the overpriced boutique we mistakenly stopped at first. Then we landed at The Wedding Shoppe a couple hours later.
Coming in for my appointment I was instantly impressed by the organization and streamline process that was underway. I thought I knew what I wanted, based on magazines. The Wedding Shoppe team encouraged me to try all styles. I did and I found it... "THE" dress... not just "A" formal white dress. I put on my dream dress and endless tears of joy overflowed from myself and my female comrades in the wedding gown trek with me.
I talked with The Wedding Shoppe fitting team. They were personal. They cared about ME. I wasn't "just another bride" or "just another sale" as I felt at the first shop I encountered that day. Really? I'm making friends here? (I thought to myself). Okay, that is cool!
After ordering the dress, the fittings and alterations came. I was surprised how easy it was. The Wedding Shoppe made me feel at ease the whole time, and never rushed. During a second fitting, I remember specifically when Savanna winked and said to me with a smile, "Go ahead and just stand in it for a bit and enjoy it." Ah, encouragement to feel yet again like a princess, like royalty. I reveled in the secret few minutes I had to stare in the mirror, wondering what my fiance and family would think on the big day. Savanna and Hannah talked to me as friends, everyone on the alterations team was fabulous. I found myself looking for excuses to stop by The Wedding Shoppe the few months prior to my wedding just because I was in St. Paul that day.
I quickly found another wonderful reason to stop by. I had The Wedding Shoppe design and assemble a custom hair comb for me to wear on the big day. It was made from ear bobs and old mismatched jewelry from my late grandmother. It was a way to incorporate her presence there. It was special and beautiful and the hair piece matched the dress perfectly.
My experience at The Wedding Shoppe has been unparalleled by any retailer (wedding related or not). I've already referred several of my friends there and hope for a reason to visit again. Maybe an opera formal dress? A cocktail dress? I'm not too worried. I know I'll be there in the next couple months.
Thank you Wedding Shoppe!
Much love,
Laura Greenwell

Dear Wedding Shoppe, we truly did not need to go anywhere else for any of our wedding attire. You were my first appointment. I ended up getting the first dress I tried on! And from there I got my shoes, accessories, bridesmaid dresses, bridesmaid shoes and tuxedos. It was great to have one go-to place where people knew Brad and I and our wedding party. You helped make everything come together. Thank you!
