Background
Last year, when one of my best friends was getting married, we made a day out of bridal dress shopping. We made our way up and down Oak Street in Chicago-- she was visiting from San Fran. We went to Barneys (which houses Vera Wang), The Ultimate Bride and one other boutique shop. In the past, I have also gone to Macy's Bridal, Neiman Marcus Bridal and House of Brides. I have to say, Vera Wang was a stand out experience. They were exceptional.
What I liked about Vera Wang
The sales people on Oak Street tend to be on the snotty side. The Ultimate Bride is the biggest offender in my mind....
