You would have a lot more customers if your staff knew anything about customer service and weren’t such snobs and if your dresses weren’t so ridiculously over priced. Fix those problems and maybe people wouldn’t come in and just “browse”. I went somewhere else and saved over 1000 dollars and was treated with respect.
—Wont be surprised to hear that you went out of business

Why do women need to spend thousands of dollars on a dress they’ll wear once is a is a better question.
Yeah, get a cheap one so you have a good idea of what (not) to spend for your next marriage(s).
I think I know what bridal shop this bitch is referring too…
…and I agree with the OP 110%
My friend bought a really pretty yet simple wedding dress for like 300 bucks and after the wedding she dyed it blue and uses it as a party dress. Smart move if you ask me.
Dying the wedding dress?! That’s…genius!
I never understood spending all that money on a dress you only wear once (ususally). You don’t see the groom doing that – we rent our tuxedos. And we’re far more likely to have another occasion in our lives that’ll require us to wear a tux again.
PK I think I know too and the OPs right!
I think people who pay thousands of dollars on a wedding dress are insane!! You can get really nice ones for really good prices. Although, if I had a shitload of money and were getting married I might spend a stupid amount if I found a dress I really liked… But probably not
Just because you can’t afford the dresses at the store, doesn’t mean they should go out of business. they are catering to a certain clientel. A lot of people can afford those dresses, and will buy them because they’re good quality special dresses. stop being so bitter.
I’m Pretty Sure that the OP was commenting more on the shoddy customer service and snotty attitudes of the salespeople. The price complaint was secondary to the point. It was we commenters who really turned it into a price thing.
you’re right nevermind.
I haven’t heard many good things about this store. On both points the OP makes, prices and service.
I think I know the store too – my friend’s mom accidently picked up the wrong style tiara (it was for prom, but whatevs), she went back to return it (less than 24 hours later), the tag was still perfectly intact attached to the FRONT (i.e it had not been worn) and they refused to take it back because of their “strict return policy”. Her mom even took the matter right to the head office and they did nothing for her. Needless to say, she nor anyone else who has heard the story has gone back there again. Also, I feel like people who can afford to spend that much on a dress can also just as easily go down to the States or Ontario to find something really special.
Your wedding is the most overpriced event of your life and your funeral is the most overpriced event of your death.
Both industries will gouge you because they can.
My cousin found a designer dress in a sample sale. 50% off.
I agree though, why spend oodles of money on dress you’re going to wear once when you could spend the money on awesomer things you’ll use more than once?
My parents got married at city hall by a justice of the peace and had a family friend hold a reception for them afterwards. They spent a grand total of $40…although dad’s aunt and uncle paid for that. Mom said she never had a desire to spend all kinds of money on one day.
Another fucking twit who spends a fortune on a goddamn dress for ONE FUCKING DAY! Well, honeycakes, most of the people I knew who had such weddings are NOW DIVORCED. Good luck with that.
I know of a certain wedding dress store downtown that treats customers like shit if they don’t look like “bridal” enough—really, if you walk in and aren’t wearing a traditional diamond ring, it’s as if you aren’t a serious customer.
After the treatment I got there, I went and had a lovely little “party” dress made by a seamstress for 150 bucks that I can still wear 10 years later.
Girls, get something custom made that YOU like, and let those bitches who run those cheesy bridal “factories” go out of business.
