Was worried I would not find a dress that I felt beautiful in. The ladies were helpful , they had a large selection. Tried on 3 dresses. And was iffy. Then I slipped on the 4 th dress. It fit me perfectly!! As if the dress was made for me. So happy I came here for my dress. Would recommend to everyone read more

My little sister has a wedding just two months away. Did she have a dress, well not until we came here. Eddie was the one helping us, but Miranda was also in the shop, and these two amazing humans made what could feel stressful (based on other boutique visits) so nerve calming. This store does not run on commission, so people work as a team to help out brides to be. Eddie spent time just talking with my little sister to get an idea of what he should put her in. Then...he turned to her team and asked us about her favorite dresses: a Bacar and Cosette were currently in top place, but likely unavailable to get by the wedding date. Eddie pulled a dress that was so different than the ones he'd originally pulled. But it was a lovely mixture of both of her favorites and she instantly lit up when she had it on. Of course, we still had plans to check one more location in Hayward for dresses, so a decision could not be made at that time. But Eddie was not at all worried, he just gave us the dress info and his availability for the rest of the day. Two days later, my little sister purchased the dress Eddie picked over the phone. It was meant for her: it fit like a glove, was giving fairy princess in a garden tea party. It was the dress we were looking for, but we would have never found without Eddie. I also splurged on some great costume jewelry. The price tag just couldn't be beat at $40. Thank you Miranda and Eddie for bringing the best energy in your totally chic and cozy boutique. I'm obsessed with how you totally know how NOT to turn this big decision into a high pressure situation. THANK YOU! read more

My sister is getting married at the end of the year so my mom and I visited to help her pick a wedding dress. She made an appointment to Blue Sky Bridal and we got an uber to San Francisco. I personally have no experience in any of this so it was a really cool experience. This is a very small location which is nice when it comes to picking out a wedding dress. My sister liked the fact that it was a consignment shop. She picked out a few dresses and they were taken to the room she would be trying dresses on. Natalie was the lovely associate who was helping her out. She was very helpful with zipping her up and gave us great dresses that fit my sisters style. My sister really liked that the dresses were all reasonably priced. Overall she really liked one of the dresses she tried on. She even put a deposit on the dress because she was 90% certain she wanted it. The only thing that stopped us from getting it was the fact we had a second appointment somewhere else. She didn't end up going with this one because the other dress had the alterations included with the flat price! Thank you so much Natalie for all your help and your style was so cool! Maybe when I get married, I come check out some dresses!! read more

I have been meaning to post a review of this amazing place for quite some time. My destination wedding was on September 2025 in Hawaii. And my dream dress was to wear a dress that was great in humidity and an a-line dress and flowy. I did my research online and Google and Yelp helped me find Blue Sky Bridal. It was one of the places I listed to find "the one." I followed Blue Sky Bridal on Instagram and constantly looked at their stories and all the dresses were so beautiful. The a-line dresses caught my eye and I knew that I HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT and CHECK THEM OUT! hehe. I brought two of my cousins (one was the MOH and the other was one of the bridesmaids). We were lucky enough to find parking within the block or two. And even stopped by Starbucks before the appointment. We were greeted by Grace Keenan, who was an amazing Bridal Consultant. She asked what type of dress was I looking and wanting, wedding details, my price range, my dress size (and even did a double check by taking my measurements) and what music I want to listen to while trying dresses on. And she went ahead and started picking out dresses while me and my cousins looked as well. During trying on dresses, Grace took the time to get to know us :) There were so many beautiful dresses. The dresses are consignment and reasonably priced. I must say, 90% of the dresses that Grace pulled out for me were dresses that I had in mind and was looking for. But there were 2 dresses that I LOVED! And Grace was kind enough and patient with me in deciding between the two. She let me try both on and see myself in the mirror and platform that was near the entrance. And she let me borrow a veil which I was not planning to wear in Hawaii, but the veil was like the cherry on top while trying on both dresses. And of course, "THE DRESS" made me cry and I was soooo happy that I found her. I even remember the song that was playing in the background - Christina Aguilera's "What a Girl Wants." hehe. After I found the dress. I was gifted a champagne bottle and a luggage tag with a cute saying on it. My experience at Blue Sky Bridal was amazing! Even my cousins had fun. I have no complaints. I did not feel rushed nor pressured at all. Thank you Grace so much for everything! read more

I have walked past this store in my neighborhood for years, and am thrilled to now count myself among its happy customers. My appointment with Eddie was easy and fun, and even with a small store I was able to bring 2 girlfriends with me. They had a great variety of dresses, both in style and price point. Eddie won the day by taking my feedback on a dress I had pulled, and finding me exactly what I wanted. He also helped me keep to my budget. I love that I got to support this local business, and the sustainability of finding a used dress. 10/10 all the way around! read more

I had a great experience at Blue Sky Bridal! They have a large selection of consigned dresses from sample sales, that were only worn once, or bought and never worn, all reasonably priced. Grace was a very patient and kind consultant. She was very accommodating with my parents and sister who came along. I chose 3 dresses initially, and Grace helped pick out the dress that I ultimately said yes to. She had me try on veils with my top two choices with the natural light from the shop's window, which was helpful because I had an outdoor wedding. There were some passerby's outside the shop window who helped seal the deal with their enthusiasm as well! I came back the next day to order my dress, put down the deposit online, and was able to pick up my dress soon after. The staff was transparent about some stitching in the strap that had come undone and what to ask the tailor for. Overall, I highly recommend this consignment store! read more

This was the first place I tried on dresses and I found the one I loved here. They have dresses in a variety of sizes and price ranges and allowed me to try on 4 that I chose and then 4 from the stylist. I never would have thought to try on the dress that I purchased and I'm so thankful that my consultant listened to me and found the dress. Easy to make appointments, easy parking in the neighborhood, and a super friendly staff. I also love their instagram account. read more

One of the things I didn't realize was how common it was for bridal shops to charge a fee to try on dresses. I understand that it's a business and most places charge $30 on the lower side to $75 on the higher side, but goddamn! Every single dollar adds up when you're planning a wedding! Also, as someone who is extremely indecisive and doesn't expect to make a purchase based on a single visit, it really just feels like I'm throwing my money down the drain. Therefore, when searching for shops to try on wedding dresses, I made it a point to look for places that didn't charge a fee such as Blue Sky Bridal. Also, many redditors said they had a great experience here. What's great is that the dresses are all on consignment, so not only do you have a broader selection of different styles, you also score a massive discount. Natalie was my bridal consultant and helped guide me along the process. The first appointment was 1 hour long and we had a quick chat about what I was looking for and any budget limitations. After that, I was able to pick out 5 dresses on my own before Natalie started pulling things from the racks based on my comments/preferences. All in all, I tried on 9 dresses in that time frame, as well as some accessories. Unlike other stores I've visited, the bridal consultants wait for you to get into the gown before opening the curtains to help zip up anything or clip the dresses. I think having someone inside helps make getting into the dress a little bit easier, but since I've had enough experience watching how they do it, I was able to manage on my own. Just pointing this out because this would be a really good option for bride-to-bes who might be a little shy about their bodies! I never felt pressured and overall, had a really good experience at Blue Sky Bridal. Since it's consignment, they can't guarantee your dress will still be around after you leave the store. They do have an option to hold the dresses and if you put down a deposit (I forget if it's 10 or 30%), that prevents anyone else from getting the dress. read more

We didn't have a good experience there. When I shared my honest opinion about the dresses the sales woman got offended. The experience is supposed to be about me not pleasing the sales person. It felt like a fake and forced interaction. They rushed us out in 40 minutes and wouldn't let us try veils on with the dresses. read more

Came here for a Monday afternoon appointment and we ended up having the place to ourselves! It's small but a good selection in all different sizes. I ended up not finding my dress here, but am so glad we came and would recommend to others. read more

My experience at Blue Sky Bridal was perfection! I had my appointment at Blue Sky Bridal in between two other bridal shops. I had a fairly good idea what I was looking for but was still open to trying a bit of variety. This was my only consignment store on the list and I was excited because of the opportunity to give a dress another chance to be worn, instead of ending up in a landfill or tucked away for years. My 1 hr appointment (no fee) was with Natalie and she was amazing! She made me feel entirely at ease and comfortable. Many aspects of Blue Sky Bridal felt just right. The plants and the mid-modern look made this place inviting and cozy. The dresses were covered to protect the integrity of the consigned dresses. All information were fully displayed: the designer name, a reference photo of the dress, the height the dress was tailored for, and original and marked-down prices. The range of prices varied and I found a few dresses well below my budget (especially with the 15% anniversary sale). The organization of this place made it easy for me to go through and tag the dresses I wanted to try. I tried on approximately 7 dresses and narrowed it down to 2. Natalie guided me to the front of the store where I could try both with veils and in natural lighting. My girlfriends said I had a lot of passersbyers give their approval and one woman in particular made sure I saw her do so- we joked with Natalie that these paid actors were great at timing. Ultimately, I knew my heart was set on one but had one more place to go to before finalizing my decision. While at the next bridal store, I couldn't stop thinking about THE dress. I ended up returning to Blue Sky Bridal right before they closed to seal the deal. Natalie let me do one last check of the dress before signing the no return/exchange contract- I found a couple stains but they were not a problem. I got a few photos with my friends and of course, the obligatory "Say Yes to the Dress" photo. I appreciate the transparency, options, organization, and comfort of this place. I highly recommend Blue Sky Bridal and Natalie to my fellow future brides! * Street parking only. They don't do alterations here. They don't have sample detachable sleeves to give you an idea of what it may look like on a dress. read more

1000% recommend this place to eco conscious brides who are looking for a budget friendly, beautiful, quality wedding dress! Maddy was an excellent consultant who discussed styles, sizes, and budget with me. I got to pick out a few to try first and then she helped me pull a few extra. I loved the second dress I tried on, and every other dress I tried on just couldn't beat it even though they were all gorgeous. I am thrilled that I found my dress so easily. It fits so well, and I only need to get the length tailored. Both the dress and the estimated tailoring costs (done separately elsewhere) are within my budget! So, so happy I came here, and I love supporting the overall mission of sustainability. Will post a picture after the big day! Don't hesitate to book the free appointment at Blue Sky Bridal read more

Maddy was my consultant, and I appreciated her starting the appointment with explaining how the next hour would go. I was able to pull the first few dresses, and Maddy eventually pulled some really great options based on my comments from the first few try ons. The dresses were all in great condition, and even though I did not find the dress, this was overall a great experience. Would highly recommend! read more

Unfortunately the offer of a hold/deposit was not offered to me on my visit, and it seems the dress I liked the most (after going to other bridal stores in the subsequent 2 days since the Blue Sky appointment) has sold. Because someone else got the dress, Blue Sky didn't 'lose the sale' but they did lose a sale from me. I have been to both the Portland location and San Francisco. I think your experience very much depends on who serves you. The Portland store put me in a size much too big and it was hard to figure out which dresses might work because the fits were mostly wrong even with clipping-it was just too difficult to visualize. S.F. store had me fitted much better, but I didn't know you could put an item on hold, I thought you had to buy it then and there because I was aware they were samples/consignment, but no hold was offered, and I needed to sleep on it. I would have had no problems putting a deposit down on the dress that day. It's a bummer. I'll have to trawl the internet to find the dress now because a sales associate didn't give me the full information. read more

Shopping here was a delight, and I ultimately bought my wedding dress here. The staff was kind and went above and beyond, sourcing a black dress for me from another location that ended up being "the one"! They had lots of sizes to try on despite being a relatively small boutique space, which I really appreciate as a plus size bride. I got an amazing dress at a fair price and I couldn't have been happier with the communication and support from the team here. Thank you, Blue Sky Bridal! read more

a great, welcoming, and patient experience. eddie was my stylist and he was attentive in understanding my vision and not only gave me free reins, but also supplemented with his recommendations. he provided advice on the whole dress shopping experience and did not feel any pressure to rush a decision. all the dresses there are nicely kept and they have a range of styles, sizes, and prices - i appreciated being able to try on dresses potentially closer to my size than some bridal stores that have to fully clip you in. given this is a consignment store, the inventory will change! read more

Although I did not end up finding my wedding dress at blue sky bridal, I truly appreciate appreciated Eddie for helping me select wedding dresses to try on.

I have dreamed about dress shopping since I was a child, but I am plus size (usually size 18/20) and I just had a baby, I was so nervous about finding a shop that carried dresses in my size. Blue Sky Bridal said they offered plus size and the appointment was free, so I took a leap of faith. My stylist was Eddie, and wonderful, bubbly and very knowledgeable associate. They start by asking about what I envisioned for my wedding day, I said I had no clue, Eddie allowed me to look through all the dresses and pick 4-8 dresses that I liked. I tried on about 6 dresses, all different styles, but none of them felt right. Eddie then picked a dress for me, I looked and it on the hanger and said "ummm I don't know about that". Eddie said "if you don't like it we can take it right off, just give me a chance" I put the dress on and fireworks went off. That was my dress! But it was first time shopping so I left the dress and tried on 12 more at other stores. Ultimately still thinking about Eddies dress, so I took my mom back to Blue Sky Bridal and we tried on 4 more dresses, then put Eddies pick back on and knew it was the only dress of me. Eddie helped walk me through what kind of alterations would need to be done as well as gave me a list of alteration stores they recommend. Not only was my dress already consignment and majorly discounted, but it was also part of the sample sale and I got an extra 15 percent off. Blue-sky bridal SF is small and personal, with a large selection of dresses and sizes. The space is beautiful and clean. Prices are extremely fair for the quality of dresses. Best of all, all the associates, especially Eddie are kind, encouraging and patient. read more

A great experience searching for my daughter's wedding dress on Union Street. A tiny salon with racks of dresses consigned and samples ready to explore. Easy to work with attendants to help navigate their selections. Nice price spans on the gowns and veils. There are locations in Portland and Seattle as well. Happy my daughter was able to try on a good number of gowns in her size and price range. Blue Sky Bridal also offered a discount when asked! She found the dress! Thanks BSB for making the time in your salon a breeze all around! read more

I've been to three dress shops already and have tried over 20 dresses.. the experience has been kinda overwhelming with the selection and prices. I did some research and was recommended to check out Blue Sky Bridal. Blue Sky Bridal was the fourth shop and hopefully the last.. This is a consignment store so you walk out with the dress on the same day. All the dresses are sold off the rack and at a discounted pricing. The store is smaller than other bigger name stores but the selection is nice and they rotate out the stock every few months. I came in with a budget and walked out with "the one" under my budget. Maddy was amazing and she made my shopping experience very smooth. She was very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire session. I did not feel pressure or uncomfortable at all. She also helped pull dresses within my budget range, so I didn't have to worry about falling in love with a dress that I couldn't afford. I'd definitely recommend checking out this shop after trying the bigger name shop. You might find your dress here at a cheaper pricing and brand new condition. read more

I found my wedding dress at Blue Sky Bridal, and it was love at first sight--literally the first dress I chose! Buying off the rack felt great, not only because it saved me money compared to custom options but also because it aligned with my values. The experience was seamless and my best friend/maid of honor and I felt supported throughout the selection and trying on process. I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. Highly recommend Blue Sky Bridal for anyone looking for stunning dresses at reasonable prices! read more

Working with Blue Sky to find my dress was a wonderful experience. Meghan (my bridal stylist) was a calming, friendly, and knowledgable presence--she helped make the day smooth and fun for me and my bridesmaids! Blue Sky, as a consignment shop, was able to provide a huge advantage over the other bridal boutiques we visited--they provided a great variety of styles and sizes, of high quality, at discounted prices. As someone looking for a plus-size dress, being able to try on dresses that fit my body well, without needing to imagine how it would fit post-alterations, was a great positive of the experience. The fact that those dresses were more affordable and available to take home same day made finding and deciding on the dress even easier. I would highly recommend Blue Sky Bridal, and Meghan, for any bride that wants to have a comfortable, fun experience finding the dress of their dreams! read more

Tried on dresses here and had an amazing experience! I worked with Grace as my stylist, and she was awesome. Grace got a sense of my style throughout the 1-hour fitting of my style and kept finding me more that fit my vibe -- increasingly more perfect with each dress I tried on. They were not pushy at all about buying, and I just felt so at ease from start to finish. Dresses are FAR more affordable here than buying new! Definitely check Blue Sky Bridal out! read more

Sold my old wedding dress and veil with Blue Sky Bridal. They were SUPER easy to work with. I felt they gave me an awesome deal for reselling with them. Took under 6 months to sell both my wedding dress and veil with them. Thank you Blue Sky Bridal! read more

I had an appointment with Maddy and it was a great experience. She made me feel comfortable, never pressured me, and grabbed a few extra dresses based on what I'd picked. She quickly caught on to what I liked and also encouraged me to try on some dresses that different from what I thought I wanted, which made the experience fun. I picked this store as my first stop on my dress search since I was hoping to buy something used. They had a good selection of styles in my size range (4-8). They were all clean and in great, like new condition. The dress that I bought was a sample and was in excellent condition. The price was lower than what I saw online for the same dress. Thanks for the great experience Blue Sky Bridal! read more

Although I didn't get my dress from Blue Sky, I enjoyed both experiences I had hear and would recommend them, especially for plus sized brides. My mom was in town in August and I decided on Blue Sky Bridal for my first dress shopping experience, making an appointment for us to both go in. One appeal was that they don't charge an appointment fee (which I didn't realize was a thing) and not knowing the range of dresses that would even fit me, that was a consideration. Elayna was my consultant for the first visit and she was great. She explained how they worked, gave me some time to look through their options, and was knowledgeable about fit, alternations, etc. I knew on that visit I wouldn't be buying a dress, but I did find two that I really liked and later followed their IG to keep an eye on new dresses as they came in. I went back a few weeks ago to view their new selections before deciding on my #1 dress elsewhere, and had a shorter but similarly good experience with Summer. I love the idea of buying a dress second hand but they unfortunately didn't have the style I was looking for. As far as cost goes, their plus size stock was not as large as other sizes, but they still had a decent amount of options under $1,000. read more

I said yes to the dress here! :) It may seem small from the outside, but Blue Sky Bridal has a surprisingly diverse collection. The dresses themselves have beautiful designs and are in great condition, and it was very fun to try different ones on. My style is more bohemian/dainty and delicate, and there were plenty to choose from in those styles. I also liked that trial appointments were free! My stylist was Natalie, who helped me settle in by asking me questions about my upcoming wedding. She was very efficient in helping me into the dresses and giving information about each dress and how to alter them to fit me better. She and the rest of the staff were all very easy to work with and not pushy at all. As each session is only an hour long, I had time to try on 5 dresses. But within those five, one already caught my eye with its unique design and soft fabric. I even visited other stores and checked far and wide online, but ultimately came back here as it was the only place that carried that particular design. It was initially over my budget, but I was able to work with the team to find a price that worked for me (under $1500)! Very happy with the whole experience; thanks Blue Sky Bridal team! :) read more

We had a great experience here! They were super accommodating and friendly. Summer helped us out and she was great. The store might seem small but they had a wide variety of different styles, designers and price points. I did try on a lot of sample dresses but they also had pre-worn dresses. All of the dresses seemed to be in really good quality, and you can tell that they take keeping the dresses well maintained seriously which is nice when you're buying the actual dress you're trying on. Would definitely recommend a stop here in your search! read more

Shoutout to Meghan for being the best! I made an appointment on a Friday and was running late, I was able to call and they were able to adjust my appointment for me. During the consultation, I tried on about 5-6 dresses before purchasing a Maggie Sotero dress picked by Meghan herself (they have great taste!). Blue Sky Bridal is filled with great associates and overall a great reflection of this store. The dress I chose would have been for sale at $2,000, however, I was able to get this dress (and it's new with tags) for $1600+tax. Thank you Meghan! read more

Blue Sky Bridal - Bridal Near Me - San Francisco, California

Sophia was very helpful in finding the right dress for me! I found the perfect dress and had a great time. Sophia was great about keeping me grounded and taking deep breaths with me if things got too exciting. I got to choose the music we listened to and I brought 5 guests along with me that Sophia talked to while I tried on. The only thing I will comment on is that the champagne offered for dress shopping is not advertised clearly. When it is offered, it sounds like the champagne will be served to the guests while you shop or try on. Instead, it is a bottle that is given to you after you're done shopping. I would just make that more clear to customers going forward because it makes the transaction a bit awkward. if I had known, I probably would've foregone the champagne. Nevertheless, a great experience with beautiful dresses that are very much marked down and affordable! read more

Ended up getting lucky and made a same day appointment on a Saturday. Beautiful selection of either second hand or discounted dresses. Select 5 at a time to try on.

Had the absolute best time at Blue Sky Bridal yesterday! Throughout the entire process, from beginning to end, Elayna was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and she even picked out the dress that I fell in love with. She was able to get my friend and I, back to back appointments since we wanted to go in together, but they did not recommend going at the same time, which now makes complete sense. Our appointments were at 12 PM and 1 PM, and it was nice that no one else was in the boutique. I believe you can book out the entire boutique for a fee, if you wish to do so. I appreciate that they offer a 1 hour appointment with no fee. Their selection was amazing, and there were so many to choose from. I love a size inclusive store, and they definitely delivered. They have their dresses organized so well, there were pictures of the dress on a tag with the original price and their price (which are all very reasonable for the types of dresses and the designers they carry). I tried on around 7 dresses, before Elayna got an idea of what I wanted and brought over a few more dresses she thought I'd like. I can tell you one thing, she knows what she is doing! She is amazing at her role, and I have decided on one of the dresses she suggested, and that I completely passed on while browsing. I decided to take the night to weigh out my decision. She never made me feel any pressure to purchase, and I felt at ease with Blue Sky Bridal. Today, is the following day and after sleeping on my decision, I've decided to take the plunge and say yes to the dress! Thank you Elayna and the team at Blue Sky Bridal! I highly recommend anyone looking for the dress of their dreams here! read more

This is where I said yes to the dress! Ideally I had wanted to rent my dress as a first choice but consignment is a really nice option too to give the dress a second life. I had seen a dress on Instagram and luckily it was still in stock by the time of my appointment. Natalie was super helpful and picking out other dresses as well. She was super patient when I took my time to think about it but ultimately I knew it was the one and I'm so happy with my decision! read more

This store helped me find my dream dress! Emily was so great! I am just visiting San Francisco for a few days and just dropped in to find a dress. Emily was so accomodating and allowed me to fit without an appointment. She was so helpful and knowledgable about the dresses. Great quality dresses and very cute veils and accesories. Everything in this store is a win! Thank you so much Blue Sky Bridal and Emily!! read more

This store is fantastic! The selection was beautiful, the prices were great, and the stylist I worked with, Emily, was by far my favorite bridal stylist I worked with during my wedding dress shopping journey! I assumed a consignment store would mean the styles would be outdated, but I was so wrong. The selection included a lot of sample gowns that are current styles, as well as dresses other brides have bought and then decided to sell before their weddings after picking a different dress. Several of the dresses I had looked at online and hoped to buy new were there. The dresses were also in great condition. The staff was delightful to work with. Emily created such a warm and lovely atmosphere had great suggestions for dresses to try on. I think every bride should go here as their first stop! read more

Seems like lots of people have had good experiences here, but i came in last Saturday and had a really bad one. Drove 4+ hours for my appointment, was really looking forward to it as i'd been following them on social media for a little while and it looked like a cute little shop. I showed up for my 2:30 appointment at 2:25. The door was locked and another client was inside. Someone came to the door and said "can i help you?" in an annoyed tone. I said i had an appointment at 2:30, they looked down at their watch and said "then can you come back at 2:30?". I waited outside another 10 minutes, no big deal but the immediate attitude was weird to me. Once I'm inside they start asking questions about my wedding, i say I've tried on dresses at another shop and they were putting me in sizes 10-12. I explain that i'd love to not have to do a ton of alterations so if i could find a dress that doesn't need to be taken in much that would be ideal. The girl scrunches up her face and says "let me see your waist". Im wearing a jacket so i have to pull it back, as shes looking at me she's making a face like shes confused (theres still other people in the shop at this point) tells me to turn to the side, continues to examine me with a confused look on her face and says "i think you're more of a 14". Her tone was super catty and rude. I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. If you're questioning someone's size, wouldn't you just take their measurements? She then said they didn't have many dresses in my budget and size and again i said i'd go above my budget if the fit was right and i didn't have to do a ton of alterations. She then had me show my waist to the person who opened the door earlier. They had me pick from a rack of size 12s. All of which were too big and i had to be clamped into them. I understand alterations are normal and finding the perfect fit is hard, but at this point i just had a bad taste in my mouth. The rest of the appointment was okay but i almost felt like i was inconveniencing them by being there and like i had to be extra nice to them to make it less uncomfortable. There were a few dresses i liked, but i just wanted to get out of there. I left feeling really bad about myself and wishing i hadn't made the trip. As someone who also works in the wedding industry, i would never treat a client this way. read more
