Q:  

How do brides usually respond when you tell them that the gown style they had their heart set on is not the most flattering for their shape?

A:  

I may ask her to try on a style I think would be more flattering on her, and let her see the difference.

Q:  

Who was the most outrageous customer you've ever had?

A:  

My most outrageous bride came with her mother and grandmother to buy a dress.  Grandma was paying for the wedding and the dress.  She envisioned her granddaughter as a traditional Old World bride. 

When the bride got undressed and started to try on gowns, her grandmother was not prepared to see the 2-inch-high tattoo that read, “I love Anthony.” The bride wasn't marrying a guy named Anthony! Grandma started screaming and left the store saying she would not pay for the wedding! The appointment ended abruptly, but the bride and her mom came back a week later to purchase the gown.
