FACCIO BRIDAL

Is there any little girl that doesn’t dream of the gown she will wear on her wedding day?

When the big event finally arrives, there are many bridal shops, designers and gowns to choose from. As a wedding videographer, I see a lot of gorgeous bridal gowns. I also sometimes hear from various brides about how disappointed they were with the service they received where they purchased their gown. Or that they weren’t happy in the way that the gown fit. It’s always upsetting for us to hear this because we know how very important the wedding gown is to the bride and to everyone!

During 2008, when we asked our brides where they got their gown, we were amazed at how many answered “Faccio”. And their answer didn’t stop there. There was always a follow-up comment about how great the service was, and how the ladies at Faccio Bridal took such good care of them. We didn’t keep track of how many of our brides from previous years purchased their gowns from Faccio, but I can speculate that there were many.

After hearing so many good things about Beth and Elizabeth (owners of Faccio Bridal), I felt we just had to meet them. So when I had the bright idea of putting a young “bride” in our booth at the Enchanted Brides Show this year, Faccio was the first place I thought of. After all – you can’t be a bride if you’re not wearing a bridal gown! I made a phone call to see how they would respond to a request to borrow a dress for the evening.

Beth welcomed the idea, (in fact, she was actually excited about it!), and I felt that I had a new friend!

A few days later, Amy (my “bride”) and I visited Faccio to choose a dress for the event.

Now I understand why the brides rave about Beth and Elizabeth so much. They were fantastic! Friendly. Knowledgeable. Fun!!! The shop was lovely and stocked full of beautiful dresses and accessories. After trying on a few gowns, we decided on one (the first one Amy tried on, actually), and then chose a cute feathery-thing for her hair that complimented the dress perfectly. Amy opted to wear a pair of her own shoes, but if we’d wanted a pair from Faccio, they would’ve gladly loaned them to us.

Even though I spent a short amount of time with Beth and Elizabeth, it was obvious to me that customer service is at the forefront of their priorities. Take a few minutes to visit their website and blog to become acquainted with them. And be sure to check out a recent post on their blog that features two of our 2008 brides. Lauren Gibbs Mauer and Heather Ezell Flener both purchased their gowns from Faccio, and their weddings are featured in the current issue of Nfocus Magazine!
