As a bride, I want to share my experience so others are aware before choosing this boutique. My initial appointment went well, and I found my dream dress. After waiting three months for it to arrive, I scheduled a fitting on a Saturday. The store was packed, and I had to wait 20 minutes past my appointment time, which I didnāt mind.
When I was finally helped, the associate dropped the dress and said, ālet me know if you need help putting it on,ā which I obviously did need help putting on a huge wedding dress. After she helped another bride, she came back and zipped me in. Upon seeing the dress, I immediately felt something was offādetails seemed wrong, and it didnāt look like how I remembered. I started to panic, sobbing in the hallway, especially since my wedding was just a month away.
Rather than helping me visualize the dress with accessories, like the veil or heels I specifically brought in to help envision the day or even just poofing the train out, or fully buttoning the dress (idk seems like simple things that should just be done but that must just be me) they just told me alterations would fix it. The dress wasnāt even poofed correctly, so of course it didnāt look like the initial photos. This left me feeling dismissed and heartbroken. I had expected more attention and empathy, but instead, I felt like I was brushed off. The owner did give me her phone number after the fact, but Iām not really sure what the expectation was around that. The experience is already a nightmare and at this point Iām just hoping my seamstress can bridge the gap that the store created from giving such a poor experience.
The only competitive edge a bridal store has is the brides experience and the dress selection. Since these dresses seemed to be an average selection, you would expect a stellar experience, but thatās not what I received. It felt more like a sales transaction than a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreRuthetteās Bridal was the fifth shop I visited while searching for my wedding dress, and I can honestly say it was the one that completely changed everything for me. I had been looking for a very specific style ā something unique that you donāt see on every Pinterest board or Instagram feed. After trying on over 56 dresses elsewhere and even starting to work with a custom gown designer, I was feeling completely overwhelmed.
We stopped by Ruthetteās on a whim, and they were kind enough to schedule us for an appointment the very same day. Their selection blew me away ā gorgeous gowns I hadnāt seen in any other shop. And then it happened: we found the dress. It was exactly what I had been asking a designer to create, and when I tried it on, I knew it was the one.
The woman helping us was incredible ā knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun instead of stressful. I left feeling excited, relieved, and 100% confident in my choice.
