Gown – Ashley Jordan, bought at RK Bridal—A
Some of the veterans may remember my issue with another bridal store. I found the dress I wanted at a store that cut out the tags. The dress was $2,500, which was way more than I wanted to spend. I tried to find it online but couldn’t find the dress at all so I gave up. Decided to try one last ditch effort to find this dress so I typed 'lace bodice a-line skirt' into google. Lo and behold, it was the 3rd return. Got the info and went to RK Bridal to try it on ... and it was $650.00!!!!!! This is the exact same dress I tried on at that bridal shop. So, right away RK was very good to me . The staff was great – courteous and professional. I did have to wait at all of my fittings and had a little trouble communicating with the seamstress due to language barriers but all in all my dress came out perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend them!

Eileen, you look amazing!! You are such a beautiful bride.

I was amazed with the before and after pictures of the spray tan. I wish I had done that.

I wish I could have had my wedding at the Millerage. We saw that room and it took my breath away. It's beautiful. It was just too big for us otherwise I totally would have booked there.

It looks like you both had a good time at your wedding.

I hope you have a good lawyer because this vendor deserves to be sued! And you should report this vendor to the Better Business Bureau! I am sorry that the meeting was such an awful experience for you. Hopefully other brides will take note of how this vendor treats people.

Thanks for the review Eileen! Your pics were beautiful despite the drama. I do hope however that your experience and other brides who have been so rudely mistreated will be helpful to other brides. I hope that company goes out of business. They should be ashamed to call themselves a real business.

Woah! I cannot believe this...I am sorry you have to put up with these people. Totally speechless.
I'm glad you're getting your lawyer involved.

What soughts of things would you recommend brides have spelled out in their photography contracts?

What a great review!!

I have a question- what time did the Milleridge allow you to arrive to take pictures? I am having my wedding there in November and i'm having trouble finding a place to take our pictures. We too are having the ceremony and reception at the cottage, so there is no time in between.

Thanks!
