I made two visits to Miosa on my hunt for my wedding dress and both were superb.The shop itself is beautiful and laid out in a way that you're not overlooked while trying on dresses. There is also plenty of plush and comfortable seating for your guests (I had 3 and they had plenty of room). On our first visit we were warmly greeted and only had to wait a couple of minutes before our assistant, Paula, showed us into our area. Now, I truly can't fault Paula. She was warm, friendly and attentive. It was my first time wedding dress shopping and I was both a little nervous and had no idea what I was looking for. She listened to my ideas and looked at the pictures I showed her from my pinterest board and came back with several beautiful gowns, all of which were gorgeous. I must have tried on about 15 gowns and decided on a favorite, but since it was the first shop I'd been into, we left so I could explore more options in other places.
Well, after going to a couple of other stores around the area, I ended up going back to Miosa with a completely different picture of what I wanted in my head. Paula remembered exactly who I was and what I'd tried on over 2 weeks later and took my complete change of direction on board. She went hunting and the fourth gown I tried on turned out to be the one. It is currently strapless but she creatively helped me envision it with added straps (adapted from headbands!) and welcomed suggestions from my mum and friends so we could make the very simple dress more unique. The dress was also well within my budget so it shows that she wasn't trying to push the biggest possible sale through!
So far I'm incredibly happy with Miosa and will update this review once the dress comes in for fittings!
