I have no advice on what you should do as I'm not even engaged yet.... But I'm like giddy that your consultant is Keisha! She's my fav consultant on SYTTD! Lucky you!
I would lie. Wow, that sounds really super awful when I say it like that! I am sure a reputable salon like Kleinfeld's is better about shipping issues, etc. it is just a general smart thing to do and will give you more peace of mine. I have a fake address and phone number I give out to salons, too, because I hate junk mail. When I actually make a dress decision, I will give out everything right, though!
NO! That's one of Randy's rules! Never lie to your bridal consultant!
I wouldn't lie. It doesn't seem like a smart thing to do. Try to be as open and honest so you can get your perfect dress. Even if you do - they'll find out eventually in alterations or whatnot! The date of your wedding will be a major tracking point once you become a customer in the system. There could be 20 Sarah's on X date. It'll be too hard to remember the lie - and anyone else who goes with to too.
I would. I was honest about my date and both my dresses arrived way too close to the wedding.
I bought my dress at Kleinfelds and did not lie about the wedding date. The dress came in on time without any problems.
I wouldn't lie. Your wedding is still a long way away, so it shouldn't be an issue.
I don't think you should lie about your wedding date. I think that you should let them know when you would like final alterations done and use that as an ordering guide.
I would, just because I've heard horror stories about other brides' dresses arriving too close to the wedding date and not enough time for alterations. But I'm paranoid like that!
You could pad it by a month or so. I don't see anything wrong with it.
I had to get my ring reset and they told me it would be a week, when I called at the end of the week they said they hadn't gotten to it and would the next week so I told them my wedding is in 2 weeks (instead of 4) to have them move it to the top of the pile.
I think adding a month or 6 weeks is totally fine if you're paranoid but also expect for them to do your fittings earlier as well unless you let them know the real date.
I'm not sure I understand why you need to lie. Are you afraid they might say you're looking too early and might not pay attention to you, or are you afraid the dress won't be ready in time if you give them too much slack, etc.?
I wouldn't lie either. They are a professional store and will get your dress on time. I'm so excited for you that you are getting a fitting with Keisha, she rocks!
I'm so jealous! Keisha is my favorite consultant.
Honestly, I wouldn't lie. First of all on principle because it usually causes complications. But in this situation I think it's entirely unnecessary. Kleinfeld's is not some tiny inexperienced bridal salon. They have been doing this for a long time and know their stuff. I'm sure you'll be fine telling them the real date. And it will make your life much less complicated too.
Oh how jealous I am!! Keasha's the best! She will find your dream dress, I'm sure!
I wouldn't lie. They know what they're doing there so I don't think you'd have any problems/
I don't see anything wrong with stretching the truth a little bit, but you are getting your dress at KLEINFELD'S with Keisha, not at David's Bridal, so I doubt you are going to run into issues.
I am a terrible liar, so I would probably invent a (true) reason why I'd need the dress earlier. Maybe bridal portraits?
I wouldn't lie about it. You have a lot of time if you order your dress now.
I wouldn't lie, but I would let them know that you would prefer to have the dress earlier... Wedding portraits could be your excuse or just your own personal security. It is a major salon, so it shouldn't be a big deal! You are the customer, so it should be fine!
I purchased my dress at Kleinfelds and was also worried I wouldn't get the dress on time for my wedding. I told this to my consultant and SHE suggested we move the wedding date up a month, just in case... ;) They are soo great there, just tell them what you want! =)
Bumping this, because I'm a Kleinfeld bride.
I called to ask them when my dress was coming in. They asked me when my wedding date was, and I had to look it up on the contract, because I thought they were going by that to confirm my order. (When I went to K's last April, I didn't have a wedding date set, so I told them March 19.) The dress is supposed to come in Feb. 18 - so it seems they timed the dress order so that it would be delivered one month before the wedding.
I'm wondering now if I should have told the phone rep that my wedding date is now April 30. I know they're a professional operation with a reputation to uphold - that's why I went there - but I didn't want to run the risk of them holding on to my dress for yet another month. Because of my schedule, I'm not going to have time to visit K's for fittings three times in one month.
I admit the waiting is frustrating - some of the local shops here in New Jersey place the orders immediately, so I'm always hearing of brides who have their dresses six months or more before their weddings.
@37 Butter Knives: Why did they wait so long? My wedding is also April 30 (haha), and after I wrote this thread and everyone told me not to lie, I didnt...but I just got a call from Klienfeld's last month and I was told I will be getting a call in the beginning of FEB to schedule my first fitting in FEB....if you told them you're wedding is in MARCH, you should have had your first fitting last month, i think. I think you should stick with your lie cause it seems they are running really late with this...

So im finally about to start the dress search, at Kleinfelds (with Keisha!) in mid-Sept. I was thinking...I'm so paranoid, about getting things on time. Should I lie to them about my wedding date? Maybe say it is a month earlier than it really is? I doubt I'd gain weight in a month to the point it would effect any fitting.
