Bridal Fair & Men's Wear — Attraction in Show Low

So I just kind of had a... sad experience. I've been so anxious to try on wedding dresses and my wedding is 9 months away (yes, I know it's a little early) but I've been dying too. So my friend Desire went with me to Bridal Fair here in Show Low to help me try on dresses. We walk in the door and it's a few minutes before we are acknowledged which is fine because the owner was the only one working and there was a bride with her family that she was helping. So Desire and I stood there and waited. Then the owner came up and asked what we needed, Desire replied that we were there to look at dresses. The owner asked if we were there for wedding dresses or prom dresses and Desire said wedding dresses. Then the woman proceeds with "is this your mom?" (Mind you desire and I are the same age and she definitely doesn't look old enough to be my mother) I answered and said no this is my friend. She asks "is there a mom up here?" And I say no not really. (I didn't want to tell her that my mom had passed away and start crying because it's already hard enough for me going without her) and after I say no she says ok then walks away. We browse through the dresses, we aren't acknowledged or asked if we needed help. So when she was bouncing a baby around, not tending to another bride, Desire asks if I could get sized and the lady says "you don't get sized, all dresses are different. You can look online to get a better idea" (how were we supposed to know you don't get sized for wedding dresses?) My mother-in-law shows up, the woman then showed us a little bit of attention. Then tends to the other bride. We stood there waiting for about 10 minutes wanting to ask if we could get me in the room to try it on. She says the room is being used and I could go in after she's done. My mother-in-law had to leave, then I finally get to go back and I came out in this beautiful dress and she totally helped me out with just this one by putting on accessories. She says that I'm shopping way too early and the only good thing about shopping too early is I get to pay my dress off longer and said the dress I like probably won't be in the shop when I'm actually serious about dress shopping. I said that I am serious about it. Then I try on another one, I kind of have her attention and she helps when we asked for a few things. I had asked if brides try on lots of different dresses too and she answered condescendingly "no but some." I could tell she was irritated about something and I tried being extra polite. So I tried on a third and came out. Her boyfriend shows up with food and asks if she has time for lunch and she says absolutely! And gets up and goes to the back with him. So that's when I completely lost her attention, I wanted to try on a dress that was on a mannequin and she had told Desire that she would get it for us. So we were waiting in the room for about 10 min and Desire says screw it I'll get it. So she does and we put it on. I really liked it as well and wanted to see it with a head band on or something cute. But the lady was no where to be found. And there was one more dress I wanted to try on and the lady came out and said "are you ladies almost done because I have other work to do" seriously?? It was 12 and they close at 3. Why do I get treated with disrespect but the other bride got 100% of her attention and was being so nice to them? It was just all upsetting to me with how rude she was, like it's not hard enough for me emotionally, and I feel like she was like that towards me because I didn't have family with me so I think she assumed no one was there to pay for the dress. Little did she know I'm paying for my own dress. Such a disappointment because the dresses I tried on are beautiful and the owner was rude and disrespectful. I wasn't being high maintence at all, I just wish I was treated with the respect. So unless you have family going in with you, don't bother going because you won't be taken seriously and if you're being inconvenient for her, you will know. Such a great thing to remember when I tried on my...

Had an amazing experience from beginning to end. Went to visit my mother with no intention of looking for a dress. Saw this cute place and decided to stop for a quick look. I did the whole Davids Bridal thing and hated it. Lisa welcomed us and wasn't pushy. I tried on everything I wanted without hassle. Found my dream dress! She held the dress for and we planned a day for me to come back for alterations. She knew that I lived almost 4 hours away so she planned on doing my alterations the same day that I came down and working through the night. She did just that! She made me feel so welcome as we hung out at her shop all day long. She seems to know everyone in the town as she's born and raised there. She has amazing relationships with the people. She also helped me make my own veil for my wedding when she found out I couldn't afford to buy one. Will recommend bridal fair to anyone...

Very disappointed in this shop. An inexperienced sales person sold a dress to my young, inexperienced niece and told her it looked great. My niece was so excited about this dress.....her dream dress. She paid her money and was out the door. They led her to believe that she could bustle the back without a problem. Well, the wedding is 5 days away and we had her try on her dress so that we could try to figure out a bustle and discovered that the dress is approximately 4 inches too long with 4" heels. We will be trying to do some kind of last minute hemming and hope it works out. What an embarrassment if the bride falls on her face on her important day. Shame on you for not having experienced people working for you, at least without another more experienced person as back up. This sales person should have known that this dress needed...
