Called Copper Penny bridal in Charleston, SC - they have the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen but I was really taken aback at how rude the woman helping me was... she asked me when my wedding was and I told her Sept of '06 and she was like "yeah... you really don't need to be shopping for dresses for another year or so" My take on it is that I should shop for dresses whenever I want. She also just had a bad attitude the whole time I was there. I've also heard that people at david's bridal are rude, can I expect this attitude a lot when shopping for a dress?
