Altar Bound

This is a small store that I think gets overlooked, but it’s great for dresses on sale! The saleswomen here don’t mind if you only want to look at the sales rack, which is nice of them. I went on my lunch hour without and appointment and Jessica didn’t mind putting the dresses on hold until I could come back after work. They have a great seamstress who also works there.

I wanted a veil, so we made appointments to go to some of the bridal stores in the area. We went to three, before we realized that everyone had the same items in stock, so that it didn’t really matter where we bought my veil in stock. My one observation is that the bigger stores, like David’s Bridal, which we drove out of the way to get to, have okay stuff, while the smaller stores have more beautiful veils. The veil I got from Alter Bound was beautiful and delicate, more expensive, but it looked bridal and not something imitation. I saw lots of ‘imitation bridal’ items.

My dress came in and they had ordered the wrong dress. My dress was scheduled to come in not even a month before my wedding and they did nothing but knock $40 off my alterations. The owner is well I won't even go there. The other ladies there are great and tried to help their best!

Tons of dress options, staff was very friendly. Just wish they had told me when I should schedule fittings, not every bride knows all the details.
