Late Edition: Alexandra Bridal Salon

A recent snippet of Alexandra Bridal Salon on the WE series Platinum Weddings (yes, I'm guilty...sometimes) reminded me of some old news: it's gone. Luckily, not gone like those shady stores that close after taking your order and money never to be heard from again. Instead the salon has 'tied the knot' with (a cutesy way of saying bought by) Priscilla of Boston. It now holds the distinction of being the sole Priscilla of Boston store in the west.

Was a sista worried upon receiving the card in the mail?

Yes. I was. Mostly, about being forced to use their new on-site alterations -- something Alexandra did not offer (a major plus). So I called them up. The girl on the phone seemed rather confizzled by my background: Alexandra bride with a dress on the way; will the contract I signed with Alexandra be honored, blah, blah. She asked the person who was near her for some guidance when lo and behold it turned out to be the consultant who helped me during my first visit. I was so relieved to hear Hannah's voice because there was another thing I was afraid of: entirely new people who had nothing to with the order. Everything is good, the only differences are that they have switched locations and their selection is completely biased. Nice for me, but not for future brides looking for variety. If it's any consolation, Gabrielle's (my runner-up) has beefed up her selection of designers.

I will admit, while not a fan of beading or the ballgown silhouette, this POB dress is quite lovely.

I would rock it and look more fierce than the model.
