My bridal salon just called me about my dress...not that it's in though

I received a message from my bridal salon telling me to call them. I knew something was up because I thought, had my dress arrived, they would have said so on the message. 

When I called, they told me that Maggie Sottero had called saying that another bride is getting married sooner than I and wanted to know if I'd be okay with my dress being done by June, instead of it's original arrival date of March 20th. Well, I was totally weirded out by this. I am so NOT a negotiator either so I didn't think to ask for some of the cost to be knocked off. I just went ahead and said yes, since I wouldn't need alterations until July anyway. The manager told me that I was making another bride very happy!

Now I feel sort of strange. I hope to God nothing happens with my gown in the mean time. On the bright side, I helped out another bride with the same style as me. Smile I also figure this will give me more time to work on losing the weight I want to so that my first try on I will feel amazing! I also hope a little good bridal karma will come my way because of it... Wink

  • I think you definitely earned some serious bridal karma!  Perhaps you can try to get a free veil out of the deal if you don't already have one?

  • That was very nice of you - I can only imagine how thrilled the other bride is!
    I can see why you're feeling a bit short changed tho; are they willing to offer you any incentives? I mean, it's good to do it out of the kindness of your heart but you are putting yourself at a disadvantage by only getting your dress in June.

  • That was very sweet of you.  I probably would have been a little uncomfortable with this.  You are definitely owed some karma.  I would try to get something out of it too.  A veil like PP said or just a general disocunt.  Can't hurt to ask.  You may need to make up an excuse about it having become an inconvenience to you since you already agreed.  You needed to see the true color for some reason (maybe shoes or a purse). 
  • I can imagine how happy you made someone else, but I can also understand why you're probably a little bummed. At least that does leave plenty of time for alterations, you just won't have it as soon as you would have liked. Bridal karma for sure!
  • I agree with PPs, plenty of bridal karma there! Think how happy you just made another bride :) Maybe she's even a bride somewhere on TK lol
  • Yeah it may be too late to get any kind of incentive, but at least you'll have good karma coming your way :-)

  • I actually tried calling them last night to see if I could get some sort of deal worked out. I was really looking forward to seeing the color so that I could try and match it, since it's pink. Hopefully I can get a hold of them today sometime since they didn't answer.
