Gown designers and where to go for them

I like a few designers and was wondering if anyone purchased a gown by any of the following and where did you go and/or purchase it.
Thanks as always...

Venus
Jasmine Collection and Haute Couture Collection
St. Pucchi Couture
Impression
Amalia Carrara
Eve of Milady
Bonny Essence Collection
Demetrios

Demetrios: Macy's and Flowerama in Elmont has them.

Eve of Milady: Flowerama in Elmont and Charisol in Flushing.

I don't know about the others. But if you can go to their websites to find out. You can also go to theknot and choose by designer and then choose NY and see what bridal salons come up. Good Luck!!
Have you made any appointments for Friday?

You could also try Wedding Center of Commack......
I got my Demetrios there, they have a lot of selection.

They have Eve of Milady at RK Bridal.
Wanda, was it the son in law at Commack Wedding Center? I remember thinking that he will ruin the family business soon. Everybody else seemed so nice.

Wanda: They're having a sample sale at Kleinfeld's on Monday. I have an appointment but I think I'm going to cancel b/c if you buy a dress at the sample sale, they make you bring it home with you and then bring it back for the alterations. I have no where to put a gown. Oh, I don't know if it's just for a sample sale, but I had to leave my credit card # with them to hold the appointment. And if you don't cancel 2 days before the appointment, they charge you $50.
Here's the e-mail I received from the knot about it.

I want to go to RK Bridal but my mom's schedule is wacky so she can't join me unless its a Saturday and I don't want to go on a Saturday. For those that have gone on Sat is it really bad? Brides everywhere...

Here is my plan so far: Friday going to Wedding Plaza (they have alot of Jasmine gowns I am interested in trying on), Monday appt at Princess Bridals (she wasn't so bad unless I spoke with someone else-very helpful actually) and if I can make it I want to go to Beautiful Brides. Next Saturday is Lillette's.
