Before going to Nicole's I had been to 2 other bridal boutiques. I liked the other dresses, but I was looking for something I LOVED. I knew I was going to like this place because when I called there I asked about specific Maggie Sottero dress...es. Nicole knew exactly what dresses she had, and if she didn't carry the specific dress which dress was similar in fit and style without even checking a computer... she is very knowledgable about her inventory. When I first saw Nicole's Boutique, I wasn't sure about it simply because there were prom dresses in the window. Do NOT judge this book by its cover!! Once you get to the back of the store, there is a beautiful selection of wedding and bridesmaid dresses just waiting for you. Nicole has not only a platform but a huge runway set up so you can see every inch of your dress in the mirror. Plus, back in the dressing rooms she has recess lighting so you can see how your dress will look at a night ceremony/ reception. When I walked in I was greeted by both Nicole and Katie. I told them what I was looking for and they told me to go through and pick out dresses I liked, plus they would go through them as well picking out dresses I described to them. They were both very helpful. I ended up finding my dress that night, and just when I thought I couldn't love my dress more, Nicole showed it to me in the recess lighting (GORGEOUS). Throughout the following 8 months, Nicole would keep in touch with me. She would let me know things like when they started making my dress, and when they shipped my dress. Anytime I called with a question she knew exactly who I was, and what dress I had ordered without even looking up anything in a computer. Once my dress was in she sent me to a seamstress she works with, Tara. Tara works out of her home, and she is very experienced and has worked on most of the dresses Nicole's Boutique carries. My dress came out beautifully, fit like a glove! I could not have asked for a better experience. Nicole made it an enjoyable experience for me. She is not only a business woman and a professional, but she is also one of the nicest people I have ever met. I loved her and her boutique so much that I actually sent my future sister-in-law to her, and she found her dream dress there as well. Just goes to show, if you want to find a dress with the "WOW" factor, Nicole's Boutique is where you want to go!!
