When I came to Wendy’s bridal three weeks ago, it was the first bridal shop I had checked out. I was excited to try on dresses for the first time. The staff at the front were friendly and seemed understanding when I said I’d ideally like to spe...nd around $1000 and that I was getting married in three months. However, when the consultant Michelle came over, and I said the same thing, she seemed very dismissive and basically told me I wouldn’t find anything there, except for maybe some of the clearance dresses and that three months really isn’t enough time (I have since planned almost everything in two weeks because I just want a small and intimate wedding). I said I still wanted to look around. She wasn’t helpful as I looked around and was really more in the way, saying things like “so you’re not really finding much?” when I had just tagged a wedding and then “That dress is $1,200, you sure you can do that?” My friend was ready to leave after her poor treatment and while I must admit, it felt like the clip from Pretty Woman, I was there to try on dresses and no one was going to stop me doing this. I have good self confidence, so I didn’t let it phase me, but I can imagine how devastating this experience could have been to many brides. Once she took me to the dressing room with four dresses, her attitude did get better and she was more helpful. Maybe she realized she was being dismissive or maybe it’s because she saw my $450 Kate Spade purse and figured I could spend more, I’ll never know. She was fine after that, minus her mask hanging down half of the time, which seems ironic in a shop that specializes in items fitting perfectly. I left seeing a dress that I liked that was $1,200, but wanting to find a better dress because I really didn’t want to give her my business after her poor treatment. Fortunately, my next shop was at Something New, Borrowed, and Blue, where my consultant was very accommodating and actually helped me find dresses in my preference vs getting in the way. I ended up buying a dress for $1,300 from SNBB and would have felt extremely comfortable buying my second choice dress at SNBB for $1,400 as I was very torn between these two. It’s unfortunate that the Wendy’s consultant judged me as soon as I said my ideal price. The only reason I am giving Wendy’s a two star is because the other staff were nice when I got there.
