Nordstrom (Mall of America)

My best friend was the unofficial maid of honor, just because she helped me with all the planning and details. When it came time to pick dresses for the event, I told her that she didn't have to wear a bridesmaid dress, but that I wanted to buy her a dress that would be beautiful. I have bought Nicole Miller gowns before, through Nordstorm, and I guess what most people don't know is that they can order the dresses online for you. So what they have in stock isn't all they have. We went four months before the wedding date, and picked out a beautiful cognac color dress for me, with these gold embroideries, and a cobalt blue babydoll dress for her. The only similarity between the dresses was the gold fibers that ran through both the dresses. Because of the time of year, the dress looked stunning in the early autumn light. And because it was from the ready to wear collection, I think it fit really well. We had the women at Nordstorm take our measurements just to be sure. I think this is a great place to pick beautiful dresses, that are of really excellent quality, and that you can probably wear a second time.

We really wanted a special suit for my husband and knew that Nordstrom’s men’s department would have it. The staff at Nordstrom’s men’s department know men’s clothes and are totally up to date on the latest styles and trends. We found a gorgeous suit with their help.
