Re: Bridesmaid dress shopping

We went to Bridal Reflections in Carle Place and had a good experience. We ended up finding and ordering dresses at RK Bridal. They have a ridiculously huge section of bridesmaid dresses.

Re: Bridesmaid dress shopping

did you get your dress yet? i would suggest going to the same salon bc they usually offer you a discount on bm dresses

if not i would go to wedding center of commack. i hear mixed reviews about their customer service but they seem to have the largest selection I have seen on long island. if you are just going to look it may be a good starting place

Re: Bridesmaid dress shopping

I havent started dress shopping or BM shopiing yet. How are the BM dress prices at Bridal Reflections? Are they reasonable compared to David's Bridal?

Re: Bridesmaid dress shopping

RK Bridal in NYC does have a huge selection, but be careful with their alterations department - not the best. (My mother had a bad experience with her MOB dress alterations.)

You could also try looking for gowns in department stores...especially since now is holiday party season and there is a large selection.

I used a beautiful Ralph Lauren satin gown for my bridesmaids that we found in Bloomingdales, and everyone was able to try it on in their size. Much easier, and no more expensive than a bridal store (especially with sales/coupons)!

I am going to Helen's! I had a great experience there with my gown. I worked with Ashley and Liz, they are both sweethearts!

Re: Bridesmaid dress shopping

The sales girl who helped me find my wedding dress at Bridal Reflections in Carle Place actually said NOT to go there for bridesmaid dresses because they are over prices. She said Massapequa prices are slightly better. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about prices at first, narrow down a dress then call all over the Island to find the best price for your girls.

Bridal Reflections in Massapequa has a huge selection of Brides Maid Dresses compared to Carle PLace and the prices were better.

I got my bm dresses from J. Crew.... They have some really pretty dresses, and tge men's dept has coordinating ties! It's def worth a look.

My girls ordered a bunch, and we had a big dress party at my house. Returned tge ones that didn't work. It was a blast!

And tgey can wear 'em again!

Look online so you have an idea of the styles you both like. A-line skirts tend to be most flattering on all figures.

I went to Bridal Reflections b/c I particularly liked Jim Hjelm dresses and they carry them there.

This is a great idea!

Why are the prices different at both locations?? Are they seperately owned?

Re: Bridesmaid dress shopping

My bridesmaids got their dresses at David's Bridal (Manhattan location). They love the dresses. I wanted the dresses in chocolate brown, but I let them choose the style of the dress. It worked out quite well, granted I only have three BMs. Good luck and happy hunting.

Re: Bridesmaid dress shopping

was just at bridal reflections in carle place, they have a large selection but were very far from helpful.

Re: Bridesmaid dress shopping

I got my BM dresses at Rk bridal, cant beat the prices! and you have a choice between getting alterations there or if you want to go elsewhere for that you pay less for the dress. no frills program
