I actually visited them early last year with my maid of honor while she was shopping for a wedding in mid-September, and I truly loved the experience—especially their extensive selection of MS dresses, which are exactly what I’ve been dreaming of for my own big day. Personally, I found the atmosphere lovely and the service to be top-notch. My wedding is scheduled for early September, so I reached out to several different boutiques today to schedule fittings. Out of all nine shops I contacted, Mili is the only one that actually turned me away simply because they aren't accepting fittings for September weddings right now. I can certainly respect the logic if they want to ensure every bride gets the exact dress she fell in love with—I see online how often they custom order pieces, and they really are stunning—but when I look at the flexibility offered by other boutiques, I just don't understand why they wouldn't let me come in for a viewing. I had heard some negative feedback from certain girls previously, but since my first visit was so pleasant and our communication over Facebook has always been so cordial, I chose to ignore those comments. Unfortunately, this recent interaction was quite disappointing, and I think I'm going to move on from them.
As for that new shop in Trilj, they were actually at the expo held at the Radisson, and they seemed incredibly welcoming, so I've already gone ahead and booked an appointment. 😉
That is exactly what happened to me. I contacted Milan Terza and was told I couldn't even come in until late March. I think I'll spend next month scouting other options, and if I don't find "the one" by then, I'll circle back to her at the end of March.
I was also at the Radisson and fell in love with a gown from the Lilly boutique; I haven't booked my slot yet, but I definitely plan to go.
Please, do keep us posted on how it goes. 🙂
