I went to the Bridal Boutique in Columbia first...and I felt bullied the whole time I was there. Then I went to Venus Bridal. It was fantastic. A young woman (the daughter of the owner I think) really worked with me and my budget. There was a great selection in a range of prices. She helped me in and out of dresses. And I found my dream dress at a dream price.
It arrived in less than a month at almost the perfect size--so minimal alterations. There is nothing negative I can say about my experience. I've been smiling since I picked up the dress. (Yay!) I'll be coming back for bridesmaid dresses.
