My experience at Claire's was fantastic! I was very nervous going into my bridal appointment as I am very critical of myself and truly had no idea what I was looking for as a weddi...ng dress.
All wedding attire is located upstairs. It's a semi-private area that is shared with other future bride(s) and their guests. I brought along my four bridesmaids who were all given dry erase boards to write what they liked about each dress- which honestly was great for my confidence and added so much fun to the experience! Even though the area was being shared with another bride and her consultant, I felt like we had plenty of space and privacy.
My personal consultant, Shana, was wonderful from start to finish. She was friendly, patient, asked questions, and truly took into consideration what I liked/disliked about each dress. She was also training another wonderful lady (I’m so sorry that I don’t remember her name), who was honestly a great hype woman! She made me feel beautiful in every dress I tried on.
I tried on a total of ten dresses, but I was really conflicted between two of them for which I liked the best. Shana ended up bringing me one more dress that was a mix between the two, and it was perfect. She brought me a veil to try with the dress and I had the storybook moment where all the emotions hit me at once.
I never once felt pressured to purchase anything and I didn't feel rushed at all during my appointment. Turns out, the dress I selected was part of a trunk sale where I got 10% off and a gift box too!
Overall, it was an amazing experience that I will always remember. Thank you Shana and Claire's Fashions ❤️
