Not all it's Wang'ed up to be!

As brides, we usually fall prey to the glory of Vera Wang. A picture of her resides on the desks of wedding planners across the globe. We pay homage to her at the beginning of wedding season and then quickly we are brought back to reality when you encounter the rudeness of the staff in the Bridesmaids salon. For the cost of those satin & silk twill gowns, we should be offered caviar and champagne upon arrival.
"Miss, can I offer you some of
Vera Wang's Sparkling water
to go with your $300 dress.
She bottles it herself on the premises."

Unfortunately, that fantasy doesn't come true for me and my 5 bridesmaids. Luckily for us all, we received a 20% discount and a price reduction on the dress that occurred ... that occurred... that occurred....

We don't know when, but I am sure it would have gone unnoticed if we didn't speak to a manager.

I would also enjoy a day at VW that isn't overbooked. In my three visits, our consultant is always overbooked and doesn't have the brain capacity to deal with her bridal parties. They are walking-talking bobble heads in black dresses.... except for Riley. Request her if you make an appointment.

Let's just hope now the dresses are decently made.
