Last week Peter and I had the pleasure of meeting Erica Janke from Blush Bridal Lounge. I bought my wedding dress months ago and the whole experience was a nightmare. I remember standing in the dressing room in my underwear while a complete stranger took her time pulling dresses wondering, “How did anyone manage to spread the rumor that shopping for a wedding dress was fun?” I was discouraged and miserable so I got it over with as quickly as possible. I bought my dress on Craigslist and never looked back. But the concept of dress shopping remained in my head. I understood that somehow, someone should make it into an enjoyable experience—and Blush Bridal Lounge is doing just that.
It seems contradictory that I had such a miserable experience choosing a wedding gown but opted to approach a bridal salon for our first blog interview, but when we drove past Blush Bridal’s beautiful store front, something in my stomach jumped. The image of what buying a dress could be materialized into a real bridal lounge. When I actually met Erica any apprehensions that I may have had vanished. We flopped onto one of the four couches in the store and just began to talk. All formal interviewing went straight out the window and was replaced by me nodding and saying, “And then what happened?”
Check back later today to read the rundown on this fabulous store, inspired by one single dress.
