Macy's Bridal Salon at Minneapolis

My wife surprised everyone with a second dress during the reception, and she looked magnificent! And being part of the Macy's chain, the price was also very good. With her two dresses she still didn't spend as much as she expected to spend on 1 at on the fancy boutiques.

I had gone to a few wedding dress stores with my daughter, who insisted that I have a beautiful dress on the day I marry the person I love. So many of the stores we went into assumed that I was the mother of the bride, which was fair enough. But once they found out that I was the bride, they still brought me mother-of-the-bride dresses. I found it rather insulting. It was only when we went to the Bridal Salon at Macy’s did the sales clerk actually ask who was the bride. I felt that she was happy for me, and I felt really good in the department. She brought me dresses that were classic, and made really wonderful suggestions about how my hair should be, and my makeup. The dress that I picked needed to be hemmed, and taken in on the sides (all these years, I never knew that you were suppose to get a dress bigger and then have it taken in). I think it was great that it was all taken care of there.

The dress was taken in and made to fit like a glove. I had to go in for two fittings, which is customary, I think, and I was happy with how the dress was finished. I think the staff there does an excellent job in helping a bride to pick the dress style to suit them, and then takes extra time to make sure it fits well and that all the small details are taken care of.

Because my best friends/bridesmaids were in Ottawa and NYC, I went about picking out the bridesmaid's dresses with Todd's help. We visited several bridal stores in the Twin City area, but I felt the most confident with the staff at Macy's Bridal Salon in Minneapolis. The women who helped us were so professional, and I really appreciated their straightforward mannerisms. It was like I had three great aunts telling me what would work, and what wouldn't work. They didn't hesitate to ask me about the body shapes of my bridesmaids, and led me towards dress styles that would flatter their body types. They also wanted to know my budget, and only gave me dresses that fit in that budget. I was able to order the dresses with my bridesmaid's measurements, and the dresses fit well.
