Ok I feel my self getting overwhelmed already! I found 11 designers that have the style dress I like and am looking for. Those 11 designers can be found in 11 different stores! I want to insure we all like the dress and they get the best price! How did u girls do your shopping? Did u visit all or most of the stores with one girl before going with all the girls (like your moh) to price around and narrow down the list? Should I do that by my self and mom? I know I'm not bringing 8 girls all over LI to 11 stores! But I need advice on how to narrow down this list!! Thanks in advance!!!

Maybe narrow it down by getting opinions (if that's what you're looking for) by having them look at the dresses online. After going ot too many stores and not being as productive as I would have liked, I found dresses on line and emailed them all and asked for their opinions and then after I called my store to see what they carried and then went to have them try them on...
Hope this helps

Def have the girls look at them online first to get opinions. I actually didn't take anyone's opinion into consideration, lol. I found the dress I liked, took my sister to try it on, called around for the best price, and had my girls all order from the one shop.

I printed out the styles I liked and thought would compliment my girls. We then looked at our schedules and booked a date where we all could go together. I was lucky as I have only 2 girls in my bridal party and we are all on the same page.

I knew I wanted Bill Levkoff because it's flattering on everyone, but I bought it at the place I got my wedding dress at. They were the best people so I wanted to give them the business. The dress was 220 but I talked her down to 190 and if the girls paid with cash no tax. All they had to do was put down 100 deposit then pay balance when they pick up the dress. I highly recommend them, it's Elena's bridal in Merrick.

I didn't want to make bridesmaids dress shopping a big process. Every one has different taste and I felt there would be too many opinions if I went with everyone. I brought my maid of honor & matron of honor and we picked a dress that was beautiful and flattered all body types.

Call around or email and ask prices before you go to all the stores than narrow down , I would go with whole bridal party bc that is too many people to please. Choose what you like after all it is your wedding
Went onto weddingtonway.com and created a showroom of the dresses I liked. Had the girls create a profile and log into showroom and vote on the dress they liked the most.. Then made an appt at bridal store that carried that line dress and had all girls come to store on same day to try on the top voted 3 dresses and we picked the best one. Tried to negotiate same price on weddingtonway with bridal shop to give them the business but they refused stating that price was a knock off dress but it wasn't.. Then I ordered them on weddingtonway.com

The first...try on every possible dress to see which ones we like...shopping trip was made with just my maid of honor. It was less stressful that way. We limited it to like 3, then I took 2 more out and had them try them. I'm planning on taking the other 3 out soon, getting all their opinions and then picking myself. That way it wasn't a huge chaos of having all six at once trying on a million dresses.

Re: bridesmaid dress shopping
I hunted down the best price for it then all 9 BMs went on their own time, not all together.
I told gave them 10 'pre-approved' styles ( I chose only Bill Levkoff) and they actually all chose from their except for my MOH. I ended up being able to bring 3 of my 4 girls all at once and then I went with my MOH separately :)
This is where I was *KIND OF* a bridezilla. But SOME girls in my bridal party didn't understand that floor length chiffon DOES NOT mean crinkle chiffon that hits your ankles -_-

I have a bridal party fb group so I stayed sending them pics of dresses to narrow it down. Then I'll probably call around for pricing or something. Thanks for the advice ladies!!

I also knew I wanted Bill Levkoff so I brought all my girls to a bridal shop and they decided on which one they all wanted. They all agreed on the same dress a lot quicker than I thought.
