Voting by committee a.k.a. “Shopping with Posse”

Seems the bridal industry is temporarily ruled by the reality shows that depict “typical” wedding preparations and thus today’s bride think they must do what they see on W.E. Network to fully have “the bride experience.”  May I beg you to reconsider?


In every sector of the wedding world, the professionals are saying that a consistent buzz kill for them and the bride is the concept of “Shopping with Posse.” There are simply too many opinions and the bride ends up buying nothing because:
  1. She wants to honor all the opinions offered…and there are plenty
  2. It’s time to have a money talk with her mother and that can’t happen in front of others.
  3. She gets so confused that she is over-whelmed and needs to make time for another appointment…and essentially start over.
The brides who are welcomed in all bridal salons are those that know their own taste, bring the person who is writing the check and are open minded to the advice of the consultant who can suggest fabrics and silhouettes that are best for her venue and body.

All brides will have their “Say Yes” moment….and it’s so cool when that is still regarded as a personal moment as opposed to a spectator sport. At Nolte’s we always have a special thank you for the brides that allow us to do our job in a manner that evokes comments like “THIS is what I had hoped my shopping experience would be. You have made it so wonderful! Thank you!”


When gown shopping...truly “Less is more!”
