There was not a large selection to choose from (I later found out that there were a ton of dresses hidden in closets covered with mirrors, but was never given the option to look through them), but it was not packed with other brides-to-be, which was nice. The sales person was eating lunch while helping me and smelled badly of onions/garlic. Although I didn't feel rushed, I felt that she was annoyed that I did not buy a dress. She made me feel badly that I could not afford to put down a large percentage of $ for a $7000 dress, stating, "Can't you just use a credit card?" "Can't you just borrow it?". Even if I was able to afford it, I would buy the dress somewhere else because they were pretty unprofessional.

I had to wait about a week for an appointment.
The positive thing about the store is that they had a lot of dresses to choose from.
The sales woman helping me did not help me look through the dresses for what I wanted. I felt like the sales person was not listening to me, for example, I knew exactly what I was looking for- an ivory lace strapless dress with no fullness on the bottom. She tried to talk me into a very revealing halter top pink dress that I felt so uncomfortable in and looked more like a prom dress. I did not want a veil but she insisted that I had one on every time I tried on a dress.
Meanwhile, I walked around looking at other dresses and they had a man cleaning the carpet. So it was all wet and I had to walk over a hose and cords. Not fun.

I tried on only one dress and ended up deciding it was the "one" right away. The place is so peaceful, quiet, and clean and the staff are very friendly and not at all pushy. So different from every other bridal shop I went to. I will update when I get alterations done, but so far, I have had nothing but an excellent experience!

I called ahead of time the day I went to Lili's Bridal, and the woman on the phone told me that there were no open appointments but to come in at a certain time anyway and they could fit me in. When I arrived, they almost turned me away, telling me that because I didn't have an appt that I could not try on dresses. I argued that someone told me on the phone to come in and eventually they let me start looking around. There was not a big variety of styles of dresses.
Overall, it was not a welcoming experience and the sales persons were pushy.
