Dress Shopping HELP

Hi Ladies-
So I have not yet begun dress shopping. I have so much anxiety about it!
I dont want to spend more than $2,000 (includes alterations) on a dress but all the dresses I like cost so much
I was wondering where I could start off shopping in Nassau- somewhere small, not crazy that would maybe have a 'look-alike' version of these kind of dresses.
TIA

Are you willing to go into the city? Because I would highly recommend RK Bridal. I recommend you bring in printouts of those dresses and show the sales people.. They are very helpful.

I tried on this dress by a brand called Cosmobella which is under the Demtrios umbreall that was reallllly cheap and has a bit of this look. Also, look up trunk show dates for different places.

Try Lillette's - most of them that I tried on were under $1,000, but don't expect super nice material. I also found La Sposa dresses to be around 1000-1500 and a lot better quality material / better made than the ones in Lillette's. Village Bridal in Babylon has a bunch.
