The Wedding Bell – February TRUNK SHOWS!
Thursday, 4 February 2010
Okay, I will fully admit that I went to over 6 different bridal boutiques from Seattle to Portland and the Wedding Bell off 6th Ave in Tacoma was by far the best experience I had. Prior to walking into their beautiful boutique I had unfortunately experienced some serious let downs… I’m pretty sure the worst moment was when a high end bridal consultant tried squeezing a size 6 silk sheath gown over my head as I continued to persist that I didn’t need to try it on and knew it wouldn’t fit. She of course insisted and the next thing I know…my arms are shooting straight up, the bridal consultant thinks she may need scissors and one of my bridesmaids is doing her best to help me laugh at the situation.
Thee wedding dress is definitely one of the most important decisions for a bride’s special day – and that often means hours upon hours spent flipping through bridal magazines, surfing the web, possible nightmares as I was beginning to have… and just a pure hope of finding something that makes you feel the most beautiful you have ever felt. Is that too much to ask???
Not for girls at The Wedding Bell!
I had a very serious injury and hurt my back pretty bad. With a herniated disc and three other torn discs…I lost my job, which ultimately affected our wedding budget. So, I walked in with just a glimpse of hope left and let the girls hear my wedding dress saga. They were incredible! I had the whole place to myself since it happened to be a quiet day and Danielle patiently and with great care helped me try on multiple dresses. She listened to my hopes: something soft and romantic, simple, structured well for an outdoor wedding…with each dress we got closer and closer. Then she told me to have an open mind with this and try just one more… ” Totally ignore the top of the dress we can alter that, but I think you’ll love the dress otherwise.” So we pulled it on and WOW – THIS WAS IT!!!!!!!!!!!! With some alterations to the top this dress was perfect! And I was able to get it on sale!!!! My eyes filled with tears – this was such an answered prayer!
My dress is ordered and will be here early June!!!
