I always imagined my perfect wedding dress - regal, timeless, classic and unique. The day after my engagement the first order of business was THE DRESS! Armed with a small army, we commenced the hunt throughout Miami Dade commencing in Bal Ha...rbour and ultimately to in Coral Gables. Two weeks later, after countless consultations,fittings and disappointments, I arrived to Daisy Tarsi at the suggestion of a friend. I had just been insulted by another designer speaking in the third person, so I was walking disillusioned with the entire process. I browsed through the dresses, and although many there were many beautiful dresses, the "one" was not there. The owner, MaryEllen, approached me and asked me what I was looking for. I gave her my long story (like I had everywhere else). Before long, we were standing at the counter when I looked down at her sketchpad and there was my dress. I could not believe that in ten minutes she had captured exactly what I envisoned. Right there, we discussed the details, the specifications, the price and without a second thought I placed my deposit. To my surprise, months later, when I went to my first fitting, I couldn't believe that it was even more beautiful than the sketch. They had promised peau de soie and alencon lace from France and it was there as promised. They also made suggestions for changes to the dress. Before I knew it, they were beading saworvski crystal to the lace, changing the dress from strapless to lace off the shoulder sleaves to tie the look and taking the train from Cathedral to Royal Cathedral. In the process, I would laugh because I would schedule countless fittings, not so much to try the dress (despite my constant weight change), but for the therapy MaryEllen, her mother and her team provided. A year and a half later, when the doors to the church opened and I walked in, I could see the look in my 350 guests faces. It has been seven years since I was married, and to this day I am still told by countless people and many of my wedding vendors that my dress is the most beautiful dress they have ever seen. After all these years, I see my pictures, and there is nothing I would change. I have since had them make special occasion dresses for me and when my sister in law announced she was getting married last year, there was only one place I insisted she go. Needless to say, we just went for her last fitting and she too looks like a breathtaking princess. Additionally, both mothers of the bride had their dresses made there after seeing our experiences and both their looks defined modern and beautiful while still age appropriate. I recently was exposed to Say Yes to the Dress TV show by my cousin, and even after seeing their $40,000 dresses, I can say mine superceded them and for significantly less money. I rarely write reviews, but I can't imagine trusting anyone else with the once in a lifetime dress. Their personal attention, sense of style, patience, flexibilty, quality,value and customized fit make them a dream come true for any Bride. Congratulations!
