I am trying to go there- I am planning from OOT so hard to get to NY-when is the usualy sale?

Has anyone been to the bridal garden in NYC?
they donate to charity.

Where do you live? You might want to buy at home. My Eve of Milady dress was quoted about 1500 more in NY than here in VA, which didn't suprise me . . . . the lady at the store thought I was pulling her chain when I told her what I wanted . . . .simpler place, simpler dresses, I guess! So you might be able to get a great price where you are!

Of course, my dress has to come up with us in my SIL's SUV, filling the whole back, but it's worth it, especially for fittings, 2 mins away!!

Mine is Allure and I talked them down $400 and paid exactly $1000. Dresses are so marked up you CAN negotiate!

paloma blanca dresses are usually under or around $1500-2000, and are very romantic.

Well, you're in a big wedding area, and a not-so-cheap one too! Texas weddings are also big (like everything in Texas, haha -- I love it there!!) But do price at home so you can compare, because it's easier to do fittings where you are anyhow . . . .
