Thank you Darian and Dress Gallery! I had NEVER tried on a single wedding dress before my appointment with DG. I had a group of girls plus my Mom come with me to the appointment, and we had our own private suite. To me this was a big deal so it... felt intimate and comfortable.
Darian was my consultant and she was amazing! I felt comfortable around her and listened to. At one point, I double checked with her that the dresses she was bringing were within my budget - and she was like “of course! I’d never bring something out of budget without letting you know first.” I’ve had girlfriends shop at other places where consultants really don’t listen to your budget so this is big, trust me!
I was able to probably try on 8 ish dresses. I had used the Pinterest before my appointment and had down the styles I liked. Darian would pull some of these and then listen to my feedback of “I like the top of this one, the skirt of this one, the bling on this one, the lace on this one, etc.” and then brought me my perfect dress! She was really supportive and gave me all the time I needed to say yes to the dress. I was never pressured to hurry up or make a purchase that day if I was not ready. She had me take a private moment at another mirror away from my friends and family so I could have some peace and really be confident in knowing if it was my dress or not.
We ordered that day and I love how DG has their own line of beautiful dresses you wont see anywhere else. The rest of the staff was great too as my girls and I hogged the photo backdrop for an extended amount of time afterwords haha, all taking pictures together with the “I said Yes” signs they provide. Later that day, on DG’s instagram story they shared how many brides said yes that day, and I was shocked how many brides they featured! I would have never known it was that busy since we were in such an intimate suite together. No chaos or anything! And they are currently partnering with a local wine company in town, so I got a free bottle of wine as a #DGBride.
Even after I’ve said yes, I have received follow up emails and texts on how the ordering process works and bridesmaid dress discounts, and I’m confident if I ever had a question while I was waiting for my gown to come in, I could give the girls a call and they’d be happy to help.
Thank you Darian for being an amazing consultant and helping me find my dream dress. I feel like we are friends already and I truly appreciate you. Thanks girl!
