Pushy Sales People?

Hey everyone,

I started shopping for my wedding dress late last year and oh my.. I went to 3 different shops - the dresses were pretty - but I felt so pressured to buy a dress right there and then because of the Sales Person. Does anybody else get this or is this just my experience?

Wedding bridal shops have opened up again.. So I'm curious if this is normal or if anyone has recommendations on non-pushy stores in the Toronto area. Thanks!

Most bridal shop consultants work for commission, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong for anyone that knows), so I would say it's a pretty common occurrence unfortunately. And especially now when most people haven't been working or earning much money it'll only put more pressure on the consultants to make a sale, which in turn puts pressure on the customer too. So just be prepared for that, and like Genevieve said stand your ground and try not to be swayed just to please someone else.

Unfortunately pushy sales people can be a reality in some places. As long as you stand your ground, you’ll be able to focus on what you want and not be swayed.
My FW got her dress from Ferre Sposa on Bloor. They were super nice and accommodating with her, she had an amazing experience.
