I was wondering if this sounds right. I found two beautiful gowns at Adrienne's in Islip and asked who made the dresses. I mean BEAUTIFUL gowns!!! The saleswoman told me that it was a private designer who only designs for Adrienne's and one other bridal salon. She also said she did not know the designer's name, but in the shop the line was referred to as 'B2.' So, I went online and noticed that the maker of Jasmine gowns makes BM gowns called B2. Some of the Jasmine gowns were similar to the dresses I tried on, but not exactly the same.
Is something wierd going on here? Why won't they tell me who makes the dresses? I understand WHY, but this is frustrating!!

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
look elsewhere.... do a search and you will find many comments on Adrienne's.
I got two dresses there a bridesmaid and a formal dress and was so unhappy as was my friend the bride.
I got my dress at Commack Wedding Center you may want to try calling them and explaining to them the situation I would almost guarantee they will try to find out an answer for you and get the dress for cheaper

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
sorry Joanne the owner at adrienne's really rubbed me wrong in the past.
B2 is made by Jasmine and all these stores carry Jasmine gowns... also one is the commack wedding center they won't kiss your butt like other places but they do have great prices or atleast did on my moonlight gown

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I had a bad experience with them as well.
They are VERY shady about this, in fact they even wrote out our reciept for MOB dress to say
'designer gold dress' rather than Montage Dress #whatever.
Its b/c they are overpriced and don't want you to find out. Go elsewhere.

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I get so scared when I hear bad things about Adrienne’s! I ordered my dress from there and have had no problems so far, but I haven’t started going for fittings yet.
Do I really have anything to worry about???

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I am going to Angel Bridal on Main St in East Islip (next to the CVS shopping center and across from the laundromat). They are very nice there and I know a few brides that have raved about the service. They also said they would match some prices that I have seen elsewhere.

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I actually went to Adrienne's because I have been a BM 6 times, and had the best dress experience there. I just got a strange feeling when the saleswoman would not tell me anything about the dress. The problem is -- I feel in LOVE with the two dresses there. I will look for similar ones elsewhere, I guess....

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I think everyone has had good and bad experiences AT EVERY SALON!!!!!!!!!
If I worried about the negative things I have heard about my salon I would be a nervous wreck.
My advice to the girls that are worrying...DONT! Just stay on top of your order and relax. Eveything seems to work out in the end for everyone anyway.
PS My cousin got her gown from Adrienne's and everything went beautifully.

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
That same kind of thing happened to me in the same store. It was a round rack and the sale lady said the only other place I would find the dresses might be Kleinfeld's.

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
They are over priced! I also have heard some not so good things about them but when I went there they seemed very nice. I found a dress there and it was about $3300. I just saw it somewhere else in a different color and it was $2700. The lady wouldn't tell me who made it.

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I had a negative experience there - I got my girls shawls - they told me 6 weeks it took closer to 4-5 months to get them - what you really need to do it stay on top of them and you should be ok - they just NEVER ordered mine and kept telling me OH they will be when your dresses are in - BUT I didn't order any dresses - both my mother (since I was in MI) and I had to really push - but they did come in ok - but that was after more than 15 phone calls and 3-4 visits.

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I just went there on Monday to look at headpieces and when I found one I liked, but didn't love, I asked who the designer was so maybe I could see if they made others similar, but more for me. I, too, was told that it was designed exclusively for me. Grr... well who designed? Some nameless person, or does he/she do other stuff?

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I got my dress at Adrienne's as well and have my first fitting on Friday so I'll tell you how it goes!! I know they do have their own designer there though b/c I saw him come out to talk to a girl on a Sat am. who wanted his dress.

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I had a bad expreience with them too! I ordered my gown in July. 3 weeks ago I got a postcard saying my dress was in so I was all excited and went to see it, I am glad I did, it was the WRONG DRESS. I am glad I was anxious to see it otherwise it may have been to late. They claim the designer sent the wrong dress to them so they have to reorder my correct dress. I was so upset and the lady there was so rude and not comforting at all. I am still waiting for confirmation that the correct dress is being sent but it wont be in until sometime end of May. I wish I never ordered my gown through them. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they get it right this time otherwise I dont know what I am going to do!

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I ordered my dress there too. If it's the same manufacturer as mine, it's called '2Be' not B2. I spent days trying to track them down. They have a website - www.2bebride.com but very few of the dresses are pictured there. I believe they are a subsidiary of Mon Cheri. I don't know why it's such a big secret. It does seem true that they only sell to a few bridal shops - Adriennes and Kleinfelds being the only ones in our area.
I agree Adrienne's acts shady. I dont get it. I'm nervous about all the bad things I have heard but that 2Be dress was the ONLY one I liked....
Keeping my fingers crossed...

Re: Adrienne's Bridal
I went to the 2bebride website and had little luck finding the dresses I liked. This is really bothering me -- even though I did find some other dresses I liked at other places, I would really like to find out the story about the dresses I saw at Adrienne's. I guess I could call Kleinfled's and ask if they know the dresses I am describing. Hmmmm...
