My mom and I took a trip to Carolina Bridal World this past saturday afternoon and were exopecting to be herded in and out of the store like cattle, the way we had been treated at a chain bridal store the saturday before. Immediately after walking through the door, we were promptly and cheerfully attended to and sent to the section of the store which displayed the type of dress we were looking for. We picked out about 11 dresses, although we were able to take only 5 dresses into the dressing room; and as we eliminated one dress, our attendant brought another dress to take it's place. In all, we spent about 5 hours in the store; picked the top 5 dresses of the close to 30 I tried on; then our attendent wrote down the name, number and cost of each dress. The most incredible aspect of this store is that there were NO pushy salespeople, only a wonderfully capable staff that sent my mother and I off with all of the information we needed to make this exciting and important decision. I cannot stress enough how amazing my experience with Carolina Bridal World has been in comparison to other larger boutiques and chain stores. It's the only store I'll ever reccomend.
Pros: The entire store is a pro...the staff, dressing rooms, organization of dresses by size and formality
Cons: Only thing i can think of is that there were only 2 pedistals for viewing dresses, and on a busy day or if you're in a hurry, that might be a problem.
