Thursday morning, the alteration shop where I had my wedding dress unexpectedly caught fire. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely, but unfortunately, my dress did not.
I was absolutely devastated, especially knowing I’m getting married in just 6 months. After processing the shock, I reached out to the place where I purchased my dress. The owner was just as devastated as I was, but she immediately reassured me that we would be able to order a new dress and have it arrive in time for alterations before the wedding.
The compassion, rationality, and professionalism I experienced from The Blushing Bridal Boutique after losing my dress was truly extraordinary. I felt listened to, empathized with, and understood during such a stressful moment.
Wedding planning comes with unexpected moments, and this was definitely one of them, but I am so thankful for the support and kindness I received.
I also want to give a huge thank you to my mom Michelle, my Aunt Barb, my sister Elizabeth, and my best friend Erin for keeping me from completely melting down through all of this. Your support, reassurance, and love meant more than you know during one of the most stressful moments of wedding planning.
I would absolutely recommend The Blushing Bridal Boutique to any bride looking for a dress — not only because of their beautiful selection, but because of the incredible people behind it.
