Thank You Thursday: Carol

Hello Hello!  Welcome to another edition of Thank You Thursday!

In a wedding, we know it's all about the bride.  Because if the bride ain't happy...ain't no one happy.  But lest we get so wrapped up in the beautiful bride, we though we should take a minute to acknowledge a fabulous mother who thought we were fabulous too:

Dear Suzanne,

I wanted to thank you very much for all your help. My "mother of the groom" gown came out beautifully, it fit perfectly because of your expert and patient alterations. The drive from Tucson was worth all the time in the car and the fitting trips.

I cannot express how thankful I was to find my way to your store. Your staff was very helpful and steered me toward a dress they knew would be good for me. After losing 80 pounds this year I really wanted a dress to help me celebrate my accomplishment and also to look elegant and age appropriate (without being frumpy) for my son's wedding.

I never felt more pretty and I got so many enthusiastic compliments on the gown. I highly recommend that you keep that dress in the store - it was the Moonlight Celebrations by Val Stefani, MB7096 in charcoal. It is deceiving in the catalog pictures and online - it really it quite stunning on. I will send a photo as soon as the photographer makes them available.



The gown Cindy wore - which, as she states, is really amazing in person.



Thanks again, I hope someday I get a chance to buy another gown from you or have a custom gown created. You are truly a gifted seamstress. Wishing you much continued success in your business.

Best Regards,
Cindy Bogle

Cindy - THANK YOU! It was a pleasure to have you in the boutique!  We hope that your son is happy for many, many years to come.  We'll try to keep the Val Stefani gown in stock for as long as we can - but after a Thank You like that, it might be a hard thing to do. LOL! We can't wait to see the pix of you in the gown.

Cindy, also thanks for reminding everyone that we cater to brides and their families from all over the state...the country...and sometimes the world!  If you're traveling from Tucson, Flagstaff, Canada, the Bahamas, or anywhere else, we can still help you look your best for your big day.  Just ask!

Keep the awesome thank yous coming.  We heart you!  (send your Thank You to sbbmktg@aol.com)
