I was one of those annoying brides who was EXTREMELY picky about what I wanted in a dress--for a long time I was convinced I did not want a white dress, did not want anything too ..."big" or "poofy," did not want too much "doily-looking" lace, etc. Not only that, but I wanted it all for an extremely affordable price (under $1k was my goal). I tried numerous vendors around the Columbus area, all of whom were lovely but either out of my modest price range or who did not have the dresses I want. Wendy's Bridal was my last choice before I was going to custom order online. And then I found my dream dress--$700 on clearance in exactly my size, a blend of both a white and mocha color. It was magical. In addition, we worked with one of their in-house seamstresses who, despite having a PERSONAL EMERGENCY the entire time she worked on my dress, never missed a deadline. I also asked for numerous complicated alterations (removing straps, creating off-the-shoulder straps, creating a back, adding boning, etc.) and everything was executed beautifully. The women who work there are so kind and patient and really make you feel like you are not too "picky" etc. I cannot recommend Wendy's Bridal enough!
