If I could I would give Sposa Mia every single star imaginable. This was the first bridal shop I visited in my search, & the bar was set so high nothing that came after could compare. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by smiling faces,... & this warm reception set the tone for the appointment. I waited for a few moments as my assigned consultant was called, & I can't begin to describe how my eyes darted from dress racks to delicate details & lovely decor. The shop itself is absolutely magical! Surrounded by stunning gowns, the consultants welcome you into this teal Eden, & you begin to believe incredible things can happen here (& I assure you, they do). For my initial consultation, I had the pleasure of working with Yvette. She went above & beyond to ensure my visit was productive & enjoyable from the moment she said "Hello." She provided expert advice regarding the gowns & designers while also listening & adapting to my own needs & wants. It was an appointment unlike any other. I wasn't just a number fit into a time slot...I was made to feel like an honored guest amongst people who genuinely wanted to see me happy. It was so lovely, & while I did not find my dress during my initial visit, it was an experience I wouldn't forget. Once the appointment ended, I was coasting on cloud nine & couldn't wait to visit again. Unfortunately, my hellacious schedule had me holding off for another two months before scheduling that second consultation, BUT BOY WAS IT A BLESSING IN DISGUISE! The day of my second appointment came, & yet again, I was greeted by the loveliest of Sposa Mia associates. Yvette welcomed me, & a new associate training for her first day joined us as we embarked on a new dress hunting adventure (my sincerest apologies to this new associate as I cannot for the life of me remember her name). Several gowns were selected ahead of time, & upon searching amongst the ivory-draped racks, some new gems were added to our selections. Some were immediate misses, & some had potential, but then it happened. The one gown that excited me more than any other dress before. The dress encapsulated everything I was looking for in a gown. The color was swoon-worthy, the drape & style were perfect, & the added embellishments balanced the gown in ways I didn't think possible. It was exactly what my heart wanted. I had found THE ONE! It was a solid "YES" to the dress. (I will add that this was a newer gown that was not in stock when I initially visited, so again, it was a blessing in disguise that I could not pop in sooner. I would have missed this dress). Yvette & basically all the associates on the second floor were involved in making this a special moment for me (through both visits, I went solo, so having these lovely consultants celebrating this moment with me was beyond encouraging). By the end of my appointment, I was not only sad to say goodbye to the gown that I fell in love with (till we meet again next year!) but saddened to see this experience come to an end. If I could, I would happily visit the shop weekly, just to feel the joy & warmth within its walls & to see the friendly & kind-hearted associates working there. Bottom line, if you're seeking out the one gown that will bring you joy on your special day don't waste your time anywhere else. Make the appointment at Sposa Mia, let these fine ladies show you everything they offer, & enjoy the experience. I guarantee you will find more than just a gown when you go! It's pure bliss.
