What Makes The Bridal Shop Experience?
The bridal shop experience boils down to: how the bride feels when she enters the place, interacts with the staff, and takes in the selection of dresses.
When a bridal shop’s intentions are only to sell a gown instead of ensuring the bride feels beautiful, the whole experience the bride is having will not be as pleasant. In fact, the bride may leave frustrated and unable to find a dress.
As a bride, make sure that you are comfortable with the experience and have a genuine connection with the staff and your gown.
When that happens, you’ll feel as though the stars have aligned and and you’ve found your dream gown.
