Not So Fun 1st Wedding Shopping Experience!!!!

Im curious to know if anyone has experienced "not so friendly" service while bridal shopping? Last Saturday was my very first bridal shopping experience EVER and it was the worst. The store where I went to had terrible service, they employed teenagers who were rude and didn't want to help me. I specifically went into this store to look for bridesmaids dresses and all they had were a rack of 15, unorganized and out of date looking dresses. The sales associate was quick to say that they didn't have any of the designer dresses before looking and what do you know they had two, not the style that I wanted but STILL. I was so pissed off that I left the store before telling them a piece of my mind and then on Monday morning I called the store manager to complain. I really hope that the rest of my bridal gown shopping experience won't be this way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try not to lose hope! I had the same experience at a store, and I never went back. I did, however, find a few other places and shopped around a bit and I finall found a place where the people were really nice and helpful and had a selection of wedding gowns that were varied and gorgeous! (I had already picked out my bridesmaid dresses). good luck!

Yep. My first bridal shop was strange. The layd who owned the place had two shops. A flower shop, and a bridal shop. The were in the same shopping plaza, but about 300 yards from each other. My mom and I called and she had us meet her at the flower shop so that she could 'walk' us over to the bridal store! She unlocked the door and the place was a MESS. There were dresses everywhere.

I grabbed some of the rack and she showed us to the dressing room, which was just a big open space. There were no places to hang the dresses except on the WALL overhang, which by the way, was already covered in dresses that had not been put away yet. So I began trying on the dresses, with NO help from the owner. We were the only ones there for a while, but then other brides began filtering in. We were all in this tiny room together undressing...uh no thanks. I'm not that modest, but I don't like getting down to my undies with total strangers!

When I was finished with the dresses I picked out, I started trying on the ones that were already hanging. The owner took THAT moment to come in and tell me that I could NOT try on those dresses, because THEY BELONGED TO OTHER BRIDES. Are you kidding? Why were they not put away? What if I had bought a dress from there, and I found out this is how the owner was storing my expensive dress, I would go ballistic!

Check out the pictures...Do I look happy? No.
