I just helped my sister buy a wedding dress here. We originally were going to ""get some ideas"" and then have a dress made. We arrived to the salon with five people, including an antsy 3-yr-old. The salesperson immediately got the wedding fundamentals from my sister in a relaxed, friendly interview, and we began trying on dresses immediately. They had a great balance between letting us pull things and suggesting things themselves. Most importantly, they never strayed outside our budget comfort zone, and there was zero pressure to buy. Only a wonderful salesperson asking my sister ""What did you like? What didn't you like?"" She was amazing.
In the end, my sister fell in love with a gown far under her budget, and purchased it the next day! They even threw in a wonderful package of wedding goodies (free veil, free earrings, etc).
We went to a much more swanky place later that day, and were horribly disappointed by the snobby attitude and the cold atmosphere.
Bel Fiore really is the best game in town!
