Hi all,

I posted this in the '07 board but it will def. do some good here.
I am looking to go bridal gown shopping this sunday and I need some salon suggestions.
My budget is $2000 therefore, I think Bridal Reflections is out of the question....
Please list some shops that fit my range and wont give me an attitude or feel make me worthless( i've heard stories.. )

I am checking out Macys in Manhasset this Sunday
where else should i go? ( nothing in Suffolk please)

Thanks in advance!!!

David's Bridal has good prices but the service totally *****. I give it a 1 out of 10.

Lillette's in Baldwin was great. I worked with gerri, she was so helpful!!

Gerri's a sweetie and the ladies in the alterations department have been sweet so far too. Good luck and have fun!
Oh and they have a ton of dresses ther ein your price range...mine was even lower and I tried on soooooo many.

Bridal Reflections in Massapequa is the more affordable one...I got my dress there and it wasn't anywhere near 2G...the salon in Carle Place is pricey.
I also recommend Adriennes in Islip and The Bridal Garden in Bethpage.

Good Luck

Agree- try Bridal Reflections.

I had a GREAT experience at Lillette's in Baldwin!

Me too! Ask for Lydia. She spent many patient hours with the most indecisive bride ever (that would be me)!

ETA: Bridal Suite in Centereach also has great customer service. I got my BM dresses there.
