text: I was unsure of my budget so when I arrived I told the associate that I wanted to stay around She then told me there were only gowns in the store that fit that small budget She was polite enough but it was one of those pretty woman experiences She told another associate right infront of me that she only had a half hour and was going to have to hand me off in the middle of my scheduled appointment It took forever for her to pull the dresses Sadly the dresses were disappointing the price was high and the gowns were just not great I mentioned that I was interested in Lazaro The associate halfheartedly smiled and would not show me the gown or any others for that matter She just said they were not in my budget I joked that it is possible if the dress worked I could raise the bar but she ignored me and that made me feel even worsenWhen I left the store I called my mom who lives in Houston in tears I told her that I felt looked down upon First that I had to go alone and second that I was treated like a transient begging for water at the back door of a star n I have never felt so uncomfortable or inadequate in my life This was supposed to be my day to find the dressn Luckily I went for a walk and around the corner to calm down and my dad called to tell me my dress allowance had increased and to go and get my dream dress nOn that walk I happened upon Lillian Lottie I went in out of curiosity and it was as though Destinys Bride had copied their interior It is a small more personal and beautiful boutique salon with mirrored chests and soft lighting The lighting at Destinys Bride was harsh and I looked old that did not helpnThe girls at Lillian Lottie were so good to me When I arrived at that appointment they had dresses pulled aside for me before we started Selected for me based on what I told them I liked when I scheduled and they really listened I did not have to wait for the dresses to be pulled for me It is amazing how a simple thing like that can make your appointment so much more productive I was offered champagne and was treated like a princess It was a completely new start Guess where I am spending my allowance I am spending it on my honeymoon because the gown I fell in love with was less than the gown at Destinys Bride that seemed mediocre at best nI am also writing to Lazaro about the kind of salon that carries their gowns and why I am not buying a Lazaro
