Finally! VENDOR RAVE! (a little long)
I finally got my grandmother to the bridal shop to order her gown! I was having trouble because she is disabled.. She is in a wheelchair but she can walk a little bit with her walker.. Plus she is old fashion, italian STUBBURN! Although it took some time, she found a beautiful dress!! I took her to Fontana is Scarsdale and they were amazing! They treated her like a queen!!
They also have her a great discount because I took all 10 of my BMs there, my FG's, My gown and my moms! Her gown was origanlly $2,075... They had to charge her for the spec measurements because she's heavy, the alterations and tax.. The total was almost $3,000 and they gave her a price of $2,100!! That was so perfect! Originally, she said that she didn't even want to spend $500.00 but between the service and my grandpa telling her she could have whatever she wanted it went perfect!
Between my family and I, we spent sooo much money in there they decided to do the alterations on my other gown (wearing to my ceremony) for free! Originally, it was supposed to be like $750..
I have to say, they were so excellent to my grandmother! They even brought a chair in the fitting room for her to sit every few minutes.. They didn't rush her and they were sooo accomodating it was unbelievable!
One more thing... The designer is called something like Tina Di Martino (I think) and I can't find it anywhere online... Does anyone know if a am spelling it wrong or something??
TIA!!!
