After an absolutely horrible experience at a Davids Bridal in Orlando, Florida (my family lives there and I was visiting) Ive been super apprehensive about visiting another Bridal Salon out of fear of recieving the same treatment. I had 2 people recommend this salon and I decided to take a leap as my wedding date is creeping closer every day. I made my appointment and then waited for the day to come. With my Best friend, and Future MIL in tow we went in to Bridal Traditions and let me tell you, from the first interaction our experience was phenomenal. As we were waiting for my stylist we browsed around the show room, and another employee was helping us out ( I honestly cannot remember her name! She was an older woman and her name started with a J - She was absolutely sweet, and nothing but helpful!) She decided to bring us back and help us pull dresses from the rack so we had a starting point. From the time Elda started helping us, up until the end she was helpful, and insightful about the dresses I tried on. She asked me questions about each dress and how I felt about it to get a better feel for what I liked. At first I thought I didnt want a strapless, but I quickly learned that in reality I did! She was extremely helpful, and made me feel beautiful with every dress that I tried on - her feedback was always honest, but never rude. after trying on about 5 or 6 dresses we were down to the last one, and I was between two of them - I was really loving the dress I had on and Elda got me a veil and some other accessories to try with the dress - I absolutely loved the dress. She said she saved it for last because she was sure I was going to fall in love with it. She let me go out in to the main area with the dress on to look in the bigger mirror (I opted to have my Future MIL and Best Friend in the dressing room with me) The same woman who helped us before ( I feel really bad I cannot remember her name!) came over and asked if the dress I was wearing was the one I was going to buy because I "looked absolutely gorgeous" in it. When I told her yes, I think so she was nothing but ecstatic. Once I had made the decision, Elda actually let me wear the dress for an additional 20 minutes while she filled out paperwork, up until she needed to measure me. Then she made up a board that said "I said yes to the dress snapped some pictures and had me sign a release if I wanted them to share it on social media (I did!) we said our goodbyes and I thanked her profusely. I have never walked out of a store feeling as good as I did - everyone made me feel incrediblely special, compared to how I was treated previously. I felt like the ladies at Bridal Traditions saw me for more than my pocketbook, and genuinely wanted me to look and feel stunning on my big day. I look very much forward to working with this Bridal Salon going forward, and I will be singing these praises for any brides to be in the area that come in to my life for quite awhile! TL;DR I had a bad experiance at another bridal salon, while apprehensive about trying again I found Bridal Traditions - the employees are fantastic, and I walked out feeling exhuberant about working with this salon, and Im sure you will too!!

Horrible Store-GREAT Dress. First off, I am getting married in Mexico in 2 weeks. I visited Bridal Traditions in September 2011. My dress was picked out then, ordered and paid for. I was told it would be in around Jan. and they would call. So Jan. comes and goes with no call. Feb. 3 I called and they told me no one had checked on it and they would call ASAP to see what the hold up was. 2 weeks later no phone call. I called AGAIN and they were in the middle of moving to their new location. I was told it was "in a box" and it would be ready to alter next week and to call back then. Still didnt hear from these people. I called once again and was told nope still not in and that they wouldnt "put it in a box". So now we are in the middle of March. My dress was shipped but delivered to the now closed store so it went back to wherever it was ordered from- I waited another week. So my dress Finally came in March 30. I was fitted the next week. Alterations were fine but not the best. I had Kim (she works out of her house in Bellevue) Now I didnt mind her but she isnt very forceful as far as telling me what would look best. I am detail oriented and I had no clue how this dress should fit or look but I knew something was off. I brought in a friend who used to work in a bridal store and she knew exactly what the problem was. We got it looking great but with no help from the store employees or alterations. Now these people that work there are RUDE first off and NO help what-so-ever. I pulled all the dresses, got myself a room, and put myself in the gown. I wait around every time I go in there and am never greeted. One time I went in, I happened to be greeted (and that was the owner). My advice- if you want great service, look further. They have amazing dresses and the new store is very nice with large, well light rooms. That was the ONE reason I bought my gown from them was because the dresses look awesome. Here I am 2 weeks before the wedding and I was told it would be ready last saturday (May 12) but I just called and it hasnt been stemmed/ironed and my peddicoat I ordered 2 weeks ago is not in ( i was told when i ordered it that it would take NO MORE than 5 days). So heres hoping that its all ready this weekend. Too bad Omaha doesnt have MORE Bridal Stores because this one would be out of business hopefully. They need to learn that being a Bride is a one time thing for most girls and it should be special. They made me more stressed than I needed to be and Im not even planning a wedding locally! Something else I remembered- they wanted me to order my dress 2 sizes bigger than I thought I needed. Probably because they wanted to charge me more to take the dress in. I ordered the correct size and it needed very little alterations.

BE CAREFUL. I have a large family and I knew that I was going to bring an entourage no matter how many times people tell you not to... I wanted them there, and they were fantastic..(thats besides the point). So the first time that I went to bridal traditions I brought 3 of my friends so that I could find a style that I loved and knew what I was going for before my appointment with my entire family. I had a girl named Taylor as my consultant and I LOVED HER. She was so sweet and helpful... but...when I came back with my family,Taylor was on vacation. I had came back SPECIFICALLY for this dress...but in the middle of me trying it on and my entire family watching me and me trying to decide if THIS was the dress that I was going to marry the LOVE of my life in....another consultant comes over with the people she is helping at another appointment and asks me if they can look at the dress..I dont mind showing off this beautiful dress on me that I will hopefully soon be walking down the aisle to my future husband in... I was over the moon excited for this dress...and they ask me to take it off so that this other girl can put it on...Let me tell you one thing about myself... I am not bridezilla, nor will I ever be. But when you take someones future dress off of them so another girl can try it on right in front of your face before you have even had a chance to decide, it was the most unprofessional and hurtful thing that I have ever experienced... Not everyone encounters experiences like these. And I really hope that if you do go here, that you find someone as sweet as Taylor was to me. But be careful in the way that they respect you. This is the happiest time of your life. You should be at a place that wants to honor and respect your wishes and has your feelings put first. I will not be purchasing my dress from Bridal Traditions and I will never recommend anyone to purchase their future wedding dress from there.
