Everything But The Gown

I think The Glass Slipper may be the best kept secret in Atlanta - every bride simply must visit this store! It will save you so much time! I wish I would have known about this store when I was planning my own wedding a few years ago.

Bridal shoes don't have to be uncomfortable

So how did I stumble upon this great little boutique in Norcross? Well, I learned about the store while I was doing research for AtlantaBridal.com and included the store in the Subscriber area search of Bridal Stores. Then last year, I met the owner, Susan, at a networking event for wedding professionals in Atlanta. I enjoyed talking to Susan so much that I decided to take a bride to her store to look for shoes and a veil.

Needless to say, I was very impressed with this boutique and the personal service we received. And, now that I know about The Glass Slipper, I recommend it to every bride that I work with. This beautiful little boutique in Norcross has every bridal accessory any bride could possibly need.

Types of Items Sold

The Glass Slipper's merchandise includes all of the following:

  • Shoes for the bride, bridesmaids and children in the wedding
  • Veils and headpieces
  • Hosiery and specialty hosiery
  • Purses and handbags
  • Garters
  • Gloves
  • Jewelry
  • Bridal undergarments
  • Flower girl dresses
  • Flower girl purses
  • Flower girl baskets
  • Flower girl accessories
  • Flower girl shoes
  • Candles
  • Cake knives
  • Engraveable gifts
  • Toasting goblets
  • Guest Books and Pens
  • Photo Albums
  • Ring Bearer pillows

So Many Shoes!

Although The Glass Slipper sells a variety of wedding accessories, it specializes in special occasion shoes. And, unlike many bridal stores, The Glass Slipper actually keeps a variety of sizes in stock so that you can actually try them on in the store.

The Glass Slipper carries all of the following designer brands of shoes:

  • Fenaroli for Regalia
  • Shelley George
  • Dyeables
  • Colorifics
  • Touch Ups
  • Special Occasions

Custom Color Matching In The Store

I was very impressed to learn that The Glass Slipper provides a custom color matching service in the store. This is a unique and valuable service -- most other stores send the color samples off to be matched, which often leaves brides with undesirable results. By matching the color right there in the store, customers can be sure they are getting the color they want.

All Sales Are Not Necessarily Final

In most every bridal store, all sales are final - period. If something comes in and it doesn't fit you are stuck with it. This is not the case for shoes at The Glass Slipper.

At The Glass Slipper, shoes that are purchased in the store may be returned within 14 days of purchase per the store's return policy. If Susan has to special order a size for you and the shoes don't fit when you try them on, you can exchange them. (See her return and exchange policy for details.) These policies are very liberal for the wedding industry and are therefore just another reason to shop at this store.

Please be aware that some merchandise sold at The Glass Slipper, such as jewelry and gloves, cannot be returned. It is very important that you review the Return/Exchange policy that the store has in place.
