You should find out how long it will take for the dresses to come in. Check on the price of alterations, ask if there is a max that the girls can't be charged more than a certain amount? Find out how many seamstresses there are and are all the alterations done on premise. Hope that helps!

I plan on asking:
Will they store until wedding?
(Max on alterations is $55)
How many seamstresses?
When will they arrive (I am having them ship one to AZ, at their expense)?
When can alterations be done (days of week)?

I think you pretty much have it. By the way, where are you ordering the dresses?

Bridal Reflection in Massapequa

Re: Going with BMs to order dresses

You and your girls will be fine. I have heard all good things about Bridal Reflections. I have heard that they are very overpriced on their accessories, tiaras, stockings, gloves, etc. So, if you are planning on any of those items, you might want to shop around.

Also, they told me that they would not order the girls dresses until all of them were measured (so be aware of that). Also, BARGAIN... they are overpriced and I would check RK bridal before going and have them match the price. They will do it!!! I hate that we get taken advantage with our wedding!! Good luck-let us know what happens.

I will keep you posted! I did not get my dress there.

I am going to see if I can't get them to take off $50 on the dresses, since we can get them cheaper else wear. (And even ordering my out of state MOH through them.) I am going to see if they will throw in 15% off accessories too.
