Bridal Stores
Sooooo I searched for a dress for 4 months & I tried on well over 100. I did finally find one! But not without going to almost every store on Long Island I could find. Soooo I thought I would write a little review of all the stores I went to and hopefully it will help someone!
Bridal Suite of Bay Shore - everyone is so nice and helpful here. I actually went here twice and this is ultimately where I bought my dress from. They have a decently large selection and you can find something in pretty much every price range.
Village Bridal in Babylon - the girls that work here are so genuine and helpful. Had I found a dress here, I would have definitely felt comfortable buying it here. I also went to this store two times. Very large selection of dresses in all different price ranges.
Bridal Reflections in Massapequa - people here were very nice. The girl helping me pulled a lot of great dresses out. But I personally didn't like how you and your friends could not go through the dresses as well. Sometimes you need a friend to pull out something you wouldn't normally pick because, who knows, you might end up liking something that you didn't know you liked. Therefore, I suggest going here once you have definitely decided on a particular style that you want and have already tried on other styles and determined you don't like them.
Fantasia Bridal Rocky Point - everyone working here is sooooo sweet! But I just don't feel like they have a large selection of dresses. At least not a large selection of what I was looking for (all lace and no poof) Still worth it to stop in here.
Helens Bridal in Commack - they have a decent amount of dresses. The woman helping me didn't seem to know all that much but thankfully another young girl came over who was much more knowledgeable. Either way everyone here was nice. But all the dresses I tried on were pulled by myself and my friends. They didn't really pull dresses for me or have any recommendations.
Bridal Suite of Centereach - the woman who helped me here was so sweet! They have a lot of dresses and my consultant at least was very knowledgeable and pulled a lot of dresses that I did like. The only negative about this store is that there were a few younger girls working here that were walking around talking about and complaining about each other right in front of customers. Kind of turned me off from the store.
Estelle's in Farmingdale - a decent selection of dresses here. Don't expect them to make suggestions and pull any dresses for you though. We basically helped ourselves the entire time.
The Wedding Plaza in Floral Park - woman helping me here was really nice. This store has a lot of dresses! They don't allow pictures here though, although my mom sneakily took some anyway.
Bridal Elegance in Huntington - well the woman who greeted us here seemed nice. And that ended right there. Woman who helped me here seemed like she did not want to be bothered with us at all. She also apparently knew me since my friends pulled out a few dresses and she responded with 'she won't like that' and put it back. They do have a decent amount of dresses though at a lot of different price points. It's worth it to stop here, maybe you'll have a nicer consultant than I did.
Paradise Bridal Patchogue - I can't say enough times, do not shop here! Absolute worst experience. We received terrible customer service here, the woman actually told me maybe I shouldn't wear a wedding dress, just because I didn't like her choice. And on top of that, they just seem shady. This store does have a lot of other terrible reviews, but I was getting desperate for a dress and thought I would give a try anyway, wrong choice!
I hope this helps someone in their dress shopping experience! Good luckkkk!
