I'm going to Bridal Reflections in Massapequa on Thursday night and then we are going to Kleinfelds on Friday!
I'm so nervous and excited!
Any advice? Any questions I should ask?
Thanks!

First Look at Bridal Gowns!
My only advice is to be open. I went in with 2 dresses in mind and came away with something totally different. Honestly, it was what I had always said I wanted, but not what I gravitated to for shopping.

Those are the exact 2 places I went! I found my dress at Kleinfelds!
My advice would be to def keep an open mind, ask about alteration caps and discounted bridesmaids dresses, discuss any concerns with alterations with the seamstress (if shes available) and look over the contract CAREFULLY if you do decide to buy a dress.
I had ZERO intention of buying a dress at Kleinfeld but they were EXPERTS! Good Luck!

I went in with something in mind and I got something totally different so I would definitely say keep an open mind.

Defintely be open minded I too got something I said I would never wear..also don't hesitate to ask a million questions...I tried on 50 dresses before I realized I can't wear a regular dress they didn't fall right only the petite dresses looked good...andi think I would've realized that if I was more verbal

Be open minded.
I thought I was fairly open minded as I didn't have a particular style or cut (a-line, ballroom, etc) in mind. But I was against particular design elements like ruching because I thought it looked funny.
Of course, I first refused to try on my dress because it has ruching - which worked wonders.
