Space is clean, lots of inventory, enthusiastic consultants. Save your $500 and skip the VIP Experience. You get the boutique to yourself and your party along with a dozen plastic-y cocktail napkins and three plastic plates holding haphazardly ...arranged crackers, cheese cubes, salami slices, strawberries and weirdly spiced almonds. Most definitely not worth the cost. There is zero price transparency and not a single price tag that I could find on the dresses. In retrospect, this is a massive red flag. The bride's dress budget is largely ignored, and prices are adjusted behind the scenes to maximize or exceed the stated budget as much as possible. My daughter's appointment started going sideways when she was put in a dress that was nearly twice the price of the budget. When she was put in the dress for the second time, it was blatantly obvious that I was uncomfortable with the direction in which this appointment was heading. In retrospect, I should have immediately pulled my daughter and the consultant to the side and let them know that I was not comfortable proceeding with purchasing this dress at this time and that I thought we needed to sleep on the decision and return for a second appointment. I believe a professional bridal consultant (not one just interested in making a sale) would have read the situation and done the same thing. Instead, the bridal consultant worked hard to move the sale forward regardless of my very obvious distress. There was immense pressure exerted on the bride and her party to seal the deal ("say yes to the dress"), and the next thing I knew the consultant was up at the front asking my daughter if this was her dress and whipping the bridal party into a frenzy by excitedly asking them who was going to ask my daughter if this was her dress. I was so disgusted and upset that I walked out of the room (twice actually). After all of the joyful screaming, clapping, and public proclamations that my daughter had said yes to a dress subsided, I was left dumbfounded and wondering how we had gotten to the point where I was now buying a dress that I did not know the price of or even liked. While purchasing the dress (no cancelations, no refunds, no changes to style or color, etc.) the consultant then proceeded to upsell additional services that were typed out on a piece of laminated construction paper. This felt completely unprofessional, and I was embarrassed for her that she was having to upsell services. It seemed absurd to have to pay $99 to have a rather expensive gown (well over $3,500 before alterations) steamed and put into a dress bag. The consultant was nice and obviously did her job by completing a sale, but I believe client-focused sales training, pricing clarity, and perhaps a reframing of the boutique's culture would go a long way towards making bridal gown shopping the fun and joyful event that it should be. At the end of the appointment, my daughter ended up with a dress that she loves so that is a positive, however my experience at Something New was very unpleasant and disappointing. I would not recommend this boutique to anyone.
