Never in a million years would I believe that money spent on your wedding dress would be well worth it, but boy did I insert my foot into my mouth when I put on a dress from a large wedding dress department store. I received the worst treament everytime I was there. I decided I would take my mother up on a suggestion of going to to same company she had her wedding dress made from. The company used to be called Blue Bird but now is Paloma Blanca. I had EVERYONE coming up to me and saying "you are supposed to look good on your wedding, but darn you beat them all - your dress is amazing!). The dress was everythign I hoped and dreamed for. The best service, care and quality. You could feel the difference and the love they placed into my dress. Yes, it was a bit more than the large wedding dress department store, but I will never step foot into that store after I had a Paloma Blanca dress!
