Great Place

I recently got my wedding dress at Minton's and had a great experience. Bonnie helped pull dresses that she thought would flatter my figure and also allowed me to pull dresses that I liked. She was very helpful and the dress I got was one that she picked out. She does give her honest opinion, but also lets you make your own decisions. I did not have to deal with the ordering issues others had mentioned because they were not doing any special orders, just selling the dresses on the floor.

I went to David's Bridal to try other dresses before going back to purchase my wedding dress from Bonnie, and she was not pushy when we told her we wanted to look elsewhere before deciding. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend anyone going there.

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

HORRIBLE!

I agree with the other posts... Stay away from Bonnie!

I purchased my wedding gown from Minton's after looking at many other stores and not finding a dress that I liked. But it was almost as if after they got the money for my dress purchase that they could just treat me and my bridesmaids like dirt.... They have been extremely rude to me and my entire Bridal party. They have over charged my bridesmaids for their dresses (Bonnie quoted me one price, then charged my bridesmaids another price), and keep on adding in other expenses to my dress... Not to mention the outrageous charges for alterations! One of my bridesmaids only had about 1/2" taken up on the halter neck of her dress and it was $75! The other bridesmaids are taking their dresses to local alterations places... and for major alterations only paying at most $30.

And Bonnie has no idea what she is talking about...Everytime you talk to her she will tell you something different... She will do whatever she can to get your money... If you do go there just make sure you get documentation on EVERYTHING, because Bonnie will throw in extra bras and slips or whatever she can on to your order without you even knowing it... And she will not back down on giving your money back for things you did not order... And make sure they have the right wedding date on file. Every time I went in or called they had a different date on file for me, eventhough I gave them the right wedding date 4 times- and the wrong wedding date on file leads to them telling the wrong date that bridesmaids dress orders are due. Incase you can't tell I have had lots of problems with Minton's... and the sad part is, that is not even half of the problems I have had with them!

Mintons has a good selection of dresses but trust me, it's not worth the headache they will cause you in the long run!

• Pros: Have potential to be a good store if they get rid of their entire sales staff
• Cons: Too many to list!
