Last prom season I purchased a dress from the Wedding Shoppe, and I could not have been happier with my experience! When you walk into the store your are immediately greeted by their friendly staff, all of who are more than happy to assist you in finding a dress for your occasion. I was able to describe what I wanted to the saleswoman and within an hour she had helped me find the perfect dress! The dress I found however was not in my size or the color that I wished to have it in, but the Wedding Shoppe was more than happy to order it for me and had it shipped to the store in time for my prom! Once I had my dress I did not have to worry about searching every store in town to find shoes and accessories to match, because the Wedding Shoppe has them all right there in their store! I found a pair of shoes that I loved, but they only came in white, and my dress was orange. So the staff at the Wedding Shoppe dyed the shoes for a small cost to match my dress perfectly. I was also assisted in finding a pair of beautiful earrings and a bag to match my dress, which were both very reasonably priced! The Wedding Shoppe made my search for a prom dress extremely easy, and the staff really puts time into your search and makes you feel special. My time in the Shoppe was enjoyable, and I cant wait to go back this year to find another beautiful dress!

I just want to send a quick thanks to The Wedding Shoppe for all the help you have provided to me during the selection of my wedding dress. I came unprepared and you were all very patient with me! Even after my dress was ordered two sizes too big, did you go out of your way to order it in the correct size no questions asked. I appreciate it and can’t wait until I can share the experience with someone else!

“Yeah, Brizi – we’re out getting him new tools for it now. I know, right? His new job and I’m probably more excited than he is! “
I pointed Rob to the jewelry counter he and I were strolling past. I’d seen a ring in there the week before, and it was on sale, you know? We were doing a little better, so I figured it was a good time to start dropping jewelry hints. He got the serious look on his face, and called the clerk over.
“Ooooh! Girl, I need to let you go. I think we’re about to look at rings!”
She gasped, “I hate you! Call me! Bye!”
Not even ten minutes later, I had a chunky white gold overlapping band, a fiancé and butterflies in my stomach. We were on our way to pick up his son, headed for his parent’s house, making calls and spreading the news. He got to spread the local news. I had to spread mine nationwide.
I called Cleveland, Chicago, New York, Florida, Arizona and New Mexico. All my sisters, all my best girlfriends. The closest one is 400 miles away.
We communicate online, phone, text. I have very sweet casual and new girlfriends here in town. Finding wedding planning assistance and support wasn’t really difficult. But there are a couple of things that just require your mom, sibs, and besties: confiding your jitters, deciding on lingerie…and shopping for the dress.
I’m 40 years old, this is my second marriage, we were having a casual picnic wedding and had a teeny little budget; I did not want anything traditional or expensive. I went to some mall stores. I’d start to explain what I wanted, and then I’d start to cry. And then I’d leave.
So I went online, where I could privately weep while I shopped, and I found weddingshoppeinc.com.
It was easy to narrow my choices, pore over some beautiful dresses and send my besties the links to my favorites. I added the links to my Facebook wedding page, too, and asked for some fashionista feedback. Once all my girls voted, I printed the top three and took them to my appointment at The Wedding Shoppe. I tried some on, and changed my mind, and tried some more. On staff that morning was the most charming and patient young lady! She had fantastic suggestions. I went with Bill Levkoff’s Bridesmaid #874 in a pale gold.
Things could have been SO stressful. But instead I had a comfortable, mellow shopping experience online and in the store. I only needed minor adjustments to make my dress a perfect fit.
It was a seriously fabulous wedding! I rocked a 40s blues diva vibe, which my fiancé matched with a vacationing G.I. look. Everyone was surprised by how well our unusual choices worked. Of all the compliments on my dress, I heard most often how well it suited my style and personality. You can see how happy I am in our wedding pictures. Our photographer, Allen Luke (LukeStudios.com/weddings) did an amazing job; I was deliriously pleased with how the dress looks in each shot!
Our wedding day was perfect for so many reasons. It did not hurt that my dress was a hit!

Dear Wedding Shoppe:
Thank you for selling us the "Minnie Mouse" dress for the Hill-Murray and Henry Sibley proms.
My daughter and her date looked super sweet.
NO ONE else had this dress at either prom they attended - of course we knew that would be the case!
Notice, his shoes matched!
Blessings,
Melissa J
