50 effin days and.........now 45 and it gets even better ladies

My one BM calls to schedule her fitting dresses aren't in yet.

UPDATE 8/12/08
Get two calls on my cel phone w/in 5 minutes from my bridal salon. No message but I got concerned and immediately call back. When they answer my call here is the convo:

1. "Megan when is your wedding date?" As I almost fall off my effin chair I calmly state 9/27/08

2. "How many BM's do you have?" We only have info on 3 and thought you had more.....

As they go through the list of names, they were missing my sister!!!!!!!! NOW MIND YOU THAT MY ENTIRE BRIDAL PARTY WAS MEASURED AND PAID IN FULL FOR THEIR GOWNS 3/8/08

3. "Do you happen to know her measurements?" I actually had her receipt with them written on so I was able to tell her.

I asked them if the other gowns were ordered, she wouldn't give me a straight answer...only that they should know better by tomorrow when they will arrive.


I honestly don't think they even ordered any of the gowns and when my one BM called to schedule her fitting, they realized what happened and decided to call me b/c they could not find my sister's info.

45 days.....W T F am I going to do OR what should I do if they can't get them in time

Did the stores give either of you any idea when they WOULD be in?

Re: 50 effin days and.................

My BM dresses only came in last Friday. About 2 months after they were supposed to be in. These bridal places order the dresses when they know they can....so they don't have to store them for too long.

I'd certainly be freaking out if I were you, but wait til you hear from them tomorrow.
There will be plenty of time for alterations (provided that they are already ordered). My BM dresses came in a while ago, and they told the girls to wait til the beginning of September to start fittings.

Re: 50 effin days and.........now 45 and it gets even better ladies

Can you ask to speak to a manager or the owner of the salon, in person? Ask to see the dresses and if they cant produce them for you ask the manager point blank how she plans on getting your girls dresses so quickly. She will have to do a rush order and special shipping and she will of course have to eat the extra charges. So sorry that you have to deal with this.

Yes, please post the salon so that other brides know not to use them. Thank you.
BTW...It shouldn't be that hard for them to call the designer and figure out if the dress (your sisters) was made or not. It's not that complicated. I would def. try ordering another dress...just to be safe. (but of course, out of the salon's pocket) As long as your sis has a receipt, you should be good.

Re: 50 effin days and.........now 45 and it gets even better ladies

I am so sorry for all of you ladies who don't have your dresses so close to your weddings! My heart goes out to you. It is stressful enough as it is planning these damn weddings and no one needs the added stress of no dresses. My stress right now is my BM not fitting in their dresses. i think they were either measured wrong or the designer cut the dresses way to small b/c 3 of the girls dont fit in their dresses. I am hoping they can let them out. Keep us updated on your situations. We will all be keeping our fingers crossed.

dont know who your using but not for nothing sounds like Davids Bridal where I had my girsl get their dresses. What a nightmare!!!!!! Never agian would I ever go there or reccomend them. They are such morons.
Needless to say so far everything seems to be working out. I am sure you will get your issue solved. Worse case and trust me when I say worse case, Davids bridal does have off the rack options they can all buy last minute. (I had all mine ordered from there some girls in other states which caused a major issue) maybe there not so bad to just buy off the rack and go home ya know!!!

Good luckl!!

The salon is in PA so no worries of them being someone affilated w/ LIW. The owner/manager is who called me about not having my sister's information. She and her associate are old enought to be my Grandmother

This is also the salon who ordered my gown 3 sizes too big (IMO to make $$ off my alterations). It didnt arrive until AFTER my BM's got measured for their gowns and paid for them.

I confronted them in person about my gown and they had nothing to say. I regret the day I ever walked into that shop - all at the urging of my Matron of Honor - she used them and had no problems
