I live in Chapel Hill but my grandmother lives in Gastonia and when we were visiting her decided to do some preliminary shopping for my wedding dress. We had no intention of making any decisions that day, and I am not a girl who loves shopping, so I wasn't really looking forward to it. However, the people at the Social Butterfly really made it a painless process. They listen to you to help figure out what dresses are best for you. They take the time to educate you on different characteristics of wedding dresses. They have a great selection of beautiful dresses, none of which will hurt your budget. By the end of the day it was clear that I was going to by my dress from them. I ended up bringing my bridesmaids and getting their dresses and mine there right after Christmas. Its not the easiest thing for me since its 2 1/2 hours from home and I will have to go there for fittings, but to be confident in the quality dress you are buying and the customer service you are going to get makes it well worth the drive. Janice is the best!
