She Said YES to the DRESS!

Hi everyone,
Today was a very busy day! I got to work with consultant Barb who is such a doll and very sweet. In the morning the first bride we had was with her mother and they were looking for the "perfect" dress. After a couple of dresses, she found one she loved. It was a ivory A-line lace dress with beautiful rhinestones placed all over. She matched it with a beautiful veil! Her mother started crying, the bride and then I did! I was very happy for her and glad she loved the dress. She ended up saying yes to the dress and I got to go through the whole transaction and contract with her! After that we had a bride that was with her friends trying on dresses. Again she wanted a ivory ballgown with a lot of glitter. She ended up trying on alot of them but did not buy. The next bride we had was a comeback bride, this means they were in about a week ago and really liked some dresses but were not 100% positive, so they scheduled another appointment and came back in. She feel in love with a Pnina Dress that was a ballgown with glitter all over the corset! It was absolutely gorgeous!!! The dress was $10,00 and she bought it! And she also got a beautiful blinged out veil that was $1,000 to match it! My jaw dropped to the floor, I was shocked! To spend that amount of money on a dress you are going to wear for about 6 hours to me is crazy! But she was happy and that is all that matters at Kleinfelds. The last bride we had was a nightmare! She came in with her Aunt and I thought at first it was going to go well, but boy was I wrong! She was all over the place with things she liked, things she didn't like, how much she wanted to spend, I was getting a little annoyed. On top of that once she found the top two dresses she liked she would snap at myself and the consultant if we complimented her on the dress. I felt so bad for the Aunt because the bride treated her terribly two! This was the kind of bride who when I went to clip her into the dress she would say "I am losing forty pounds before the wedding," or "This dress makes me look fat."  Then stare at me like I should say something. It was kinda funny. I am not allowed to say anything so I don't know why she was looking at me. She was difficult to deal with and kept the consultant and I there until 6:15 when the store closes at 6. When it comes to those situations all you can do is smile but laugh in your head:)
 I would say it was a very successful day and I am very happy with the brides that I worked with. It is a great experience to work with the difficult brides as well. When I think about the bride who spent $11,000 on her dress I just am in shock, at least the dress I want is only $3,500. Just kidding!! At work today all the interns picked out their favorite dresses and of course every girl picked the Pnina Dresses, but I picked a simple A-Line dress with lace and glitter with a deep v-neck plunge and lace capped sleeves, I thought compared to $11,000, I am doing great! But I would never even spend $3,500, it is crazy! Spending that much money on a wedding dress when you are only going to wear it for so long is ridiculous in my mind but some spend even more! Like one girl last week spent $36,000 on a dress. Oh My Goodness!
Hope all is well
Happy Endings from NYC!
