I am getting married in October 2008 and visited about five shops in the Twin Cities area. I gave this place a shot as it was personally recommended to me by two former brides. Pulling up to the store I thought it was going to be a dive. It's in a strip mall, with a lackluster sign, next to a pizza joint. Nothing spectacular from the outside. But, the service and quality of dresses couldn't have been better! Joey was just amazing and took the time to sit and talk with me, see what my vision was and helped me to find ""the dress"". Being that I went to this store first and had a whole weekend planned around the ocassion with sisters and mothers in from out of town, I didn't want to stop shopping even though I loved the dress. The staff was kind and gave me until the next day to confirm the purchase. After visiting David's Bridal (bride factory...no assistance) The Wedding Shoppe (St. Paul...great store, great service, very large) and Brides of France (no thanks) I took some late arriving family members back to the store. I tried it on again, loved it even more, got the confirmation I needed and bought that day. One whole year before my wedding. I paid an additional $15 for storeage there for one year. Seriously, I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend them to anyone. They really seemed to care about making my dress perfect for me and letting me experiment and stay in the dress as long as I wanted!
Pros: Attentive & thoughtfull staff, unique dresses
Cons: Weird location in strip mall. Don't judge a book by its cover.
