Thank you for all the information and help with area bridal salons! I decided to head to The Perfect Bride in Rocky River on Saturday. The tip to request either Carly or Renee was really helpful!Long story short, I went by myself because I was dying to try on a specific Watters dress. They had it in store and I just knew when I put it on that this was THE dress! It was more than my budget, so I did not put a deposit down on it. I also wanted to my Mom to see it (she does not live in OH). On a whim I walked over to Leonardos across the street and the salesman there, looked up the dress and said they could sell it to me for $1000 more than the perfect bride. When I told him what the perfect bride wanted for the dress, he told me to go buy it NOW if I loved it. lolAnyways, I went home, talked to FI, then my Mom on the phone. Mom was not happy about the price of the dress, but we decided that she would pay a certain amount and I would pay the rest. All of the alterations are also included in the dress price, so that helps with the financial aspect of things! I went back to the perfect bride yesterday afternoon and put a deposit on the dress! I am kind of nervous that no family or friends saw me in the dress, but I love it and think I made the right decision.Sorry this is long, but it was a whirlwind yesterday! Here is the link to the dress!
