This is a detailed review. Enjoy!
Hello Brides!
I am a simple, independent, and self-sufficient gal with elegant taste. I know what I want and rarely need assistance from anyone. I encountered New York Lace on my solo 2nd round of bridal gown ...shopping (the 1st round was with the MOH, MOB, and MOG at 2 other places). I found New York Lace to be the most complete experience!
I made an early weekday appt at New York Lace (street parked directly outside and they insisted on paying for my metered parking when I needed more time!) and met with their long-time 20 year experienced consultant, "Marie" and 1st day! employee "Nicole". Marie and Nicole sat me down and explained the history, mission, and ideals of New York Lace (Brides- they do not work on commission so please be at ease). I quickly realized their commitment to my finding that special gown. Marie then asked of my vision, viewed a few of my Iphotos (I had little to share at the time) and then went off to search for my future gown.
Nicole diligently helped me in-out of the gowns without hesitation and with the up-most of profession. She graciously took pictures and 360' videos (other boutiques do not allow photos!). Marie, Nicole and I evaluated each gown and altered the pick for the next gown. Marie reviewed each dress in detail with me from the silhouette to neckline to color to flare to pattern to embroidery to appliques and to the sweep of the train.
After several dresses, Marie scurried off and found "the one". Please note, I'm not the emotional type - until I tried on "THE GOWN". Together and completely unexpectedly, we cried (even Marie who was extremely knowledgeable and, perhaps, hardened in her many years of consultation). I said "YES, TO THE DRESS TO NEW YORK LACE!" and the rest is history.
Long story short, I found the dress of my dreams and with which I will walk down the aisle. I am immensely grateful to the commitment of Dolores (New York Lace owner extraordinaire), Marie (exquisitely exceptional expert) and Nicole (newly blushing consultant). I am in debt to you.
Brides - the dresses are beautiful, the knowledge is beyond compare, and the experience is unprecedented - I kid you not, it is not common to find all three qualities in one boutique. I hope you have the most wonderful experience as I did.
Best wishes to you!
