Buyer Beware of the

. . . China Syndrome

No, it’s not an old Jane Fonda movie. It’s a shipping thing. There is an old expression that something “is on a slow boat from China” when it will take a long time to arrive. Well,….

This year we are seeing shipping dates jumping from 4 months to 7 months…!!! Seriously.

The Chineese workers are making more money and working less hours in an effort to be more like Americans…hey, I didn’t make this up. This is causing prices to rise and it’s taking longer to make your dresses. ORDER EARLY….even “rush” charges may not get your gown here on time if you wait too long to order. This is also true for bridesmaids. FYI, NOT all dresses will take this long…some styles come with “Express” shipping, others may have quicker cutting schedules and some styles are hanging stock. Ask your consultant.

FAQ
Do I need an Appointment ? NO
Will there be a wait ? Yes, usually on weekends and “usually” No during the week.
Do you have a large variety of styles?
Yes, all together we have over a thousand Samples in our store.
What is your price range for Wedding Dresses.
Our motto is “Value, Service,and Selection”. We feature top quality designers at moderate prices. Dresses start at $99.00 (discontinued) and go up to $1,500 +/-. Most of our wedding dresses are in the $600 to $800 range. We have lots of bridesmaids between $129 and $159.
How many friends should I bring dress shopping?
This is a great question. Believe it or not, the fewer the better. Over 20 years we’ve learned that too many different opinions will lead to a VERY stressful shopping experience. A Mom and sister or your maid of honor is often best. The choice is up to you. Check out the cable TV shows…LoL
Do you offer “Group Discounts” ?
Yes, we offer discounts to your bridal party when you purchase your wedding dress from Amanda’s Bridal & Tux. Includes: Tuxedos, Flowergirls, Mother’s and more.
Do you have a play area for kids?

20 Secrets to a Fun Wedding Reception

Well, they’re not really secrets — just really solid ideas.
1 of 20

Change Into Something Comfortable
Let’s put it this way: You won’t have a good time at your reception if you can’t breathe, right? So after the first dance, swap your veil and train for a little white dress. (This applies to grooms too — depending on the formality of the wedding, guys can change out of a restricting tux into a more relaxed suit.) If you and your new spouse are comfortable enough to move freely, you’ll dance more, chat more and laugh more, and that’ll rub off on your guests.

Beware of websites and even local stores that are representing popular designer gowns(especially Maggie Sottero) at substantially lower prices. There is a major problem in the industry with factories in China copying designs. If the cost is alot lower there’s a good chance it is a fake, with diffferent fabrics and beadwork.

We’re hosting a Maggie Sottero Trunk Show next weekend!
July 15th thru 17th, No appointment needed.

Does you man want a cat or a dog or a ferret?

• Dog = freindly and cuddly
• Cat = cool and aloof
• Ferret = find a new man

Today’s bride demands excellence and we listened.  We make sure everything we carry is an excellent value…best quality at the best price. Simple as that.

No doubt, a lot of brides watched the Royal Wedding…and the DRESS !!!

At least two of our Designers are going to make copies of the gown …we’ll keep you posted.
