Saw Sarah from "Say Yes to the Dress"

That's so cool! I watch the show all the time, and the FI even weights in with his opinion from time to time! I hope you find the PERFECT dress!

I'm so jealous! I LOVE that show...my fiance got a little upset because I reprogrammed the DVR to record all episodes, even if they conflict with his shows...oops, lol. But that show is my guilty pleasure right now

aww that is awesome - glad she was sweet!

Really? Carmel is the one with the short black hair that is oh so jealous of my Randy!! LOL I only remember Claudia being fired. Now she was a loon.

Lol, yes Carmel had issues with Randy. I have my first dress fitting on Saturday I will ask her what was her issue with Randy, I love him.

Good luck with your fitting...I've read such great things about Pronovias....

Does this mean that both Claudia and Carmel are at Pronovias? Interesting.

So awsome!

Sorry for a long post - I have a lot to respond to.

 

Be careful of the Kleinfeld sample sale. My best friend went and ended up buying a dress b/c she was so swept up in the day. It wasn't right and she ended up buying a second dress and plans to sell the first one on eBay. If you find something, make sure it's 'your' dress - and you're not just buying a dress b/c of the pressure of finding one there.

 

When my friend was at the sample sale, she met Carmel and liked her - so when we went back for the second dress, she requested her. I thought she was horrible - fake and rude. She very obviously didn't remember my friend but pretended to and then after a few minutes was saying how much she loved her and her parents who were at the sample sale. She also snapped at me because I was made a comment about being drawn to one dress over another b/c it was more my style - making the point that I wasn't impartial and if my friend liked the other dress more, to ignore me. My friend knew exactly what I was saying - and I thought Carmel was out of line and rude. I wasn't surprised when she was let go.

 

When I got my dress at Kleinfeld, I had an amazing experience. You don't have to get one of the consultants featured on TV to have the Kleinfeld experience. When my consultant came out to greet me, she was an older woman - and I did not feel extremely confident with her - but my fears were unfounded. She was a pro - she's been in the business forever and knew what she was doing. Granted I made her job pretty easy - I started to cry with the third dress I tried on and knew it was the one. The best part was that it was a trunk show that day and I not only met the designer of my dress (Anne Barge) but she was the one who picked out my veil and she got me kleenex so I wouldn't stain the sample dress with my tears. It made it really special.

 

I had no desire to be on TV but I did want to meet Randy - and he's exactly like you see on TV. Hilarious.

Thanks!! I am worried, I have not been to the gym in almost 3 weeks, but I have a high matabolism..so I am hoping it stays high and I can fit into the dress without any additional alterations. I had a great experience at Pronovias and with Carmel. Pronovias had an evening gown sale a few weeks after I bought my wedding dress. I went in and the girls at the desk remembered me from when I bought my gown. They let Carmel know I was in the store and she came to my fitting room and made sure I was ok. She found more dresses for me to try on and made sure I got a better discount than what was being offered to other women in the store she kept referring to me as "her bride" to other consultants and she remembered specific details about my mom (she was with me on the day I found the dress) Overall GREAT Pronovias experience!!!

Thats awesome...she's my favorite!!!! she seems so sweet and she always listens to the bride without being pushy. Have fun shopping!!!
