best places for dress shopping

I am going to start dress shopping in a couple of weeks. Where are the best places to start? I was also debating as to whether it was worth it to make an appointment at Kleinfields because they have a very large choice and then once I find the dress find a more local dress shop to go to. What do you think???

Re: best places for dress shopping

Should I make an appointment? and how far in advance do I have to make it?

Re: best places for dress shopping

I would make an appointment - you get individualized attention that way. Ask for Kristy - she is awesome! I'd call tomorrow and make it for the next week or two.

Wedding Salon of Manhasset is awesome.

Lillette's in Baldwin is great. Ask for Gerri. They took time w/ you & were very helpful. I didn't have an overly pleasant experience at Bridal Reflections.

I went to Kleinfeld as a MOH for my cousin's wedding & they bring dresses in to you and while we were there told this girl, 'you couldn't afford THAT dress, try this one.'

Kleinfelds - hands down, best place I went..
The customer service is unbelievable.
I couldn't find a picture of my dress online and I called them. They took my dress out and took a bunch of pics then emailed them to me and printed them out and mailed them to my home!

I went to Kleinfeld too and I'm having the same problem. I can't find pics online of my dress so I was thinking of calling and scheduling another appt to go see my dress and take my own pics. Did they give you a hard time? Did they charge you add'l for taking the pics for you?

I had a great experience at Bridal Suite of Bay Shore and Lillettes.

At Bridal Suite I had Maryellen help me- she was awesome. So helpful and patient.

At Lillettes, Pat helped me and she was great. She's so sweet and helpful. I have another appointment with her this weekend to choose the actual dress. I have it narrowed down to two.

Just an FYI, I did not have a good experience at Macys in Manhasset or The Wedding Center in Commack. FM me if you need details.

Nope, I just called them and asked if they had them. I never expected to actually get them but I did.. As far as I know, I wasn't charged.

I also recommend them.

I would also recommend Lidia's in Copiague.

Re: best places for dress shopping

After going to 16 Bridal Salons
I decided to make an appointment at Kleinfeld.

I fell in love with the first dress I tried on!
Definitely go to Kleinfeld. It was the best decision I made so far.

Re: best places for dress shopping

Thanks for all the advice, I remember going to Lillette's as a MOH and I remember them being very nice and helpful, I will try there.

I think I might just try Kleinfields for the heck of it. Do you know how long in advance you need to call for an appt?
