Walking into Chic Bridal, the shop is gorgeous, with exposed brick and really nice finishes. The atmosphere is very inviting and made the occasion feel special. I was a little concerned by the what seemed like a small selection of dresses to chose from. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, which was a dress style they did not have. The gal that was helping us asked if I was open to trying some things on. She talked to me about the feel that I wanted (vintage, glam) and picked out a few dresses for me to try.
The fitting room/ viewing area was very well decorated and set up perfectly for an entourage. The third dress I tried on I fell in love with. It was not what I was expecting to like but I was beaming and did not want to take it off. The dress was Justin Alexander originally priced at 2,200. There was a sale sticker on the dress that read 1,700. Since my budget was 2,000 we were ecstatic about the sale price. The gal that helped me then checked with the owner to see if there was any additional discount we could get. She came back with $799. We bought the dress and took it home that night. I absolutely love it and can't believe I got such a steal!
This was the third time I had tried on dresses. Chic Bridal had such a unique selection, it really stood out to me as a bridal shop. The service was also wonderful, it felt very personal unlike other places I went where one attendant is working with several brides and you feel rushed.
