With no communication or updates for the next week, my wedding planner called to speak to the manager to further voice our concerns & to discuss a resolution, as our event date of 2/6/21 was only 2 weeks away leaving no time for alterations.

The manager ensured me that the dress had shipped later in the day on 1/11 and would arrive in 2-3 wks. 4 days later, I had yet to hear back so I sent an email with my concerns & frustrations.

He ensured me that he would speak to the shipping manager & get me an update later that day. 1 month later & no update, I called back & spoke to a manager who informed me that the dress was still at the factory & had yet to be shipped. On 12/11, I called Flutter to get an update & spoke to an employee who told me the dress had shipped & should arrive in 1-2 wks. I was told to expect 7-8 months for the dress to arrive. W., #200, Mpls., 61, flutterboutique.I ordered my wedding dress through Flutter on 3/21/20 for my wedding scheduled 2/6/21. “You look at the bride, and then you look at the groom, and it’s just amazing.”įlutter Bridal Boutique, 104 Franklin Ave. “The first look down the aisle is the best part,” she says.

“We’ve been primarily known as a store for bridesmaids, but we’d love for a bride to get her gown here and then come back with her girls, too.” “We’re expanding the bridal section this year,” explains Kipp. Flutter is well-known as a mecca for bridesmaids’ dresses in every conceivable cut and color, and Theia Couture is a popular wedding-gown line (the dresses are couture the prices are not). Part of providing a unique look and experience for brides and their friends is carrying hard-to-find brands.

Or you know exactly what you want and we find dresses to fit that.” “You start with the fashion and you build so many things around it-you look for the dresses, and then the flowers and décor and overall feel of the wedding fall into place. “I’m so drawn to the fashion and the pictures and the overall look of the wedding,” she says.

Thus, Kipp’s lifelong passion for bridal fashion (she counts Say Yes to the Dress as a favorite TV show and bridal magazines as her reading material of choice) became a career in which she could control her own destiny. “My husband and I talked about opening a store, but Flutter went up for sale-we signed the papers right away.” “I wanted a job where I could do bridal, but still have room to advance,” she says. She’d worked in the bridal industry in Minneapolis before switching to an insurance career, but it was her own wedding dress fitting that reminded Kipp how much she loves the bridal business. “Not the same-old, same-old” is just what Kipp had in mind when she purchased Flutter in 2013.
