I just wanted to share with you all about the most wonderful little dress shop in Saginaw, MI. It is called Lola's Bridal on Gratiot in Saginaw. I called a few days prior to see if they were open on the 5th and they called me back and let me know that they would be open, so I made an appointment. I showed up with my mom, sister, niece and sis-in-law and spent the whole day trying on gowns.
Shannon the manager was helping me and I gave her full reign on picking out what she thought would look good on me. She picked out a bunch of dresses and I started going to town. Kelly the owner was also there at the store and she was pulling dresses too, so I had both of these ladies helping me out.
These ladies have taste! They both selected such beautiful gowns, and at first I was thinking that I would never find anything because all of the dresses were so pretty...but then I narrowed to down to two. My family and i took a break for lunch and while we were goneShannon pulled a few more for me.
When I got back I tried on the other gowns, and even though they were nice...I went back to the first two. Shannon and Kelly were very helpful, but I totally felt no pressure regarding what they thought was better, nor did I feel pressure to purchase. I actually went in not thinking that I would be purchasing, but I loved their service so much that there was no way that I was going to purchase this gown from anyone else!
From bridal gowns and accessories, to bridesmaid dresses, they are a full service salon. I would highly recommend them...tell them Carrie Sue sent you!
It is not necessary to make an appointment but I think that it is helpful. There were a few other brides in the salon while I was trying on dresses (but I was there for 6 hours:) Since I was in no hurry I kept telling Shannon and Kelly that it was okay to go help other clients. I wanted to savor the experience so I was totally not bothered by the slight interruptions.
Pros: Wonderful ladies, found THE ONE!
Cons: Would have loved for there to be 2 raised mirror areas
