BM Dress Shopping **UPDATE: WE FOUND 'THE ONE' TODAY** W/ LINK TO PICS!!

Me and the girlies are going BM dress shopping tomorrow... We are going to the Bridal Suite in Bayshore and then Helen's in Commack (based on my LIW gals recommendations)... I will be sure to bring a camera and snap lots of pics to post... Besides that:

Is there anything else I should bring or any tips / experiences anyone can share with me?? Words of wisdom ladies??

I'm so excited!

****** UPDATE *******

We went to The Bridal Suite, Helen's in Commack and then (reluctantly) The Wedding Center. The Bridal Suite's staff was great, very friendly and helpful... but the selection was not huge. They had a few great dresses but nothing I loved.

Then we went to Helen's-- the staff there was fantastic, very friendly and upbeat... they had a huge selection but no Watters and Watters which was the designer that had some of my most favorite dresses (from looking online). So it was great and we found a few nice dresses but nothing I was in love with-- so I was a little discouraged...

Then, one of my BM's knows a woman who works at the Commack Wedding Center so she was able to get us in very last minute on a busy Saturday-- we went and my BM along w/ the lady at the place helped me a lot. I was nervous about going there at first b/c I've heard mixed reviews on the staff-- but in reality, I was lucky enough to have a pretty good experience-- everyone I dealt with was fine. They had a ton of Watters dresses so we tried on and I found it!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE DRESS!!!!!!! (CLICK ME)

THIS IS THE COLOR IT WILL BE IN (along w/ the ribbon-- same color!!!)

WOOO-- HOOO!!!!!!

BTW: the cheapy-cheap price at the Wedding Center was $218 and retail was $256... so I called good old Burtons and my girl Carole (the best!!) quoted me at $200 without me even telling her what the WC price was! She is fantastic-- the alterations cap is cheaper at Burton's too!!! So we are definitely ordering the dresses from Burton's-- they are GREAT with dresses!! Best prices around and a wonderful seamstress-- also, the alterations cap is good ($40)
