I had went to many other bridal stores in the Twin Cities area including Macy's and the Wedding Shoppe, both were good. I also went to Rush's -not impressed, Bella Bridal- ok, knowledgable when you talk to the owner, the Dress Shop in Stillwater, very good, the big wedding store in Rochester, not very good which tell you something since I can't even remember the name, but Raffine was very helpful. Yes, it's a small store so I recommend making an appt during the week. They had nice dresses there and were helpful. It was spendy, but I got the dress I liked which is what mattered.
