Guest Post: Doing This One Thing Will Make Your Bridal Appointment. Not Doing It, Will Break It

Today we are bringing you a post from our Sister Store, 

The Brides' Shop.

Alex Davis, who has worked for our company for over 15 years, will fill you in on what she believes is the most important thing you can do when shopping for your gown.

Oh and you didn't know we had a Sister Store?

We do, and it's just a 15 minute drive from our Shop.

Enjoy this VERY important post.

I am standing there in the middle of our shop where an MOB (Mother of the Bride) is screaming at me.  

When I say screaming I'm talking about high pitched, veins coming out of her neck, Real Housewives kind of screaming.

It was terrifying.

As I am standing there with a pleasant look on my face patiently waiting for her to calm down and get everything out so that I can help them, I knew I wasn't the only person she had done this to today.  

The mother then looks at the Bride who is eyeing the dress of her dreams in my shop and tells her that they are leaving and never coming back again and that they are going to tell all of their friends never to shop here.

The door slams and I go back to the Bride I was helping before they came in and she looks at me and says thank you.

Do you want to know what happened?  What I said?  Well, here it is.

"Hi Ladies, how are you?  Do you have an appointment with us today?"

Pretty shocking, huh?

They were angry that they did not have an appointment and that I was already helping a Bride and wouldn't have a room available until later that day when I would have loved to help them.

The reason the Bride I was helping said thank you?  She had just been to a shop that only did Walk-Ins and got zero time and attention.

I wish that I could say that this was the only time that this ever happened, but it has happened a lot.

Can you see what I'm getting at here?

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO TRY ON DRESSES!!

Why, you ask?

1.  The shop will be expecting you and your room will be ready and waiting.

2.  You will have your Bridal Consultant to yourself and they will wait on you hand and foot.

3.  The shop will already know what gowns or types of gown you will want to try on because of the phone conversation you had prior to your appointment.

4.  You will be able to cut any stress you might have in half.

And most importantly...

5.  You deserve it.  You deserve to have the best possible experience with all of the bells and whistles.

Let's rewind to how you make your appointment.

Give us a call at The Brides’ Shop at (801)322-4324 and we will set up an appointment at a time that works best for you.

Easy, huh?

STAY AWAY FROM SATURDAYS IF YOU CAN!

Saturdays are ridiculous for all Bridal Shops.  They are so busy and have so much going on that everyone is kind of running around like chickens with their heads cut off.  If you are at a really great Shop, you will never know how stressed they are behind the scenes, but it will still be kind of crazy.

Take a day off of work and spend that whole day going to different shops and trying on gowns.

Best days to go try on gowns?  Tuesdays and Thursdays.

So what did we learn today?

Get on the horn ladies and make your appointments!

I promise you'll be glad you did.

And so will your mom.

For That Fashionable, Low Key Bride

We all know those girls.

The ones that are super laid back.

Put on a touch of makeup, throw their hair up in two seconds

and look like most of us do when we take two hours 

on ourselves getting ready.

They have a style all their own and we can normally spot them as they walk through 

our door.

We started carrying certain designs which them in mind.

Nothing too over the top.

Just an understated elegance.

And these are just a few of our favorites.

So, make an appointment, throw your hair up into a top knot and 

put some lip gloss on.

We can't wait to help you find your perfect dress!

Private, After Hours Appointments

We know how you feel.

You want shopping for your Bridal Gown to be an experience.

You want your family and friends to be there.

You want an attentive Bridal Consultant to focus on only you and your needs.

It doesn't always end up this way, does it?

We know that it can be frustrating for a Bride and her party to go to a shop where it is so busy, you feel like you can barely breath.  You've made an appointment, but you're sharing the mirror with what feels like 1,000 other Brides.  The chairs have been taken by other appointments, so your party has no where to sit.  And to make matters worse, your Bridal Consultant seems frazzled with everything that is going on.

Well, guess what?  It doesn't have to be this way!

The Perfect Dress is now offering Private, After Hours Appointments.

It's True!

You and as many guests as you like, will get the entire store to yourselves, along with an expert Bridal Consultant to help you choose your wedding gown.
