Have you heard of these gown 'designers'

I have a fairly low budget for my wedding gown. (Under $1000)

I went on the knot and did a search and found a few nice gowns.

Has anyone ever heard of or tried any gowns by Atianas Collection (1st dress) or Camille La Vie for Group USA (2nd)

Camille la vie has a store in the Palisades Mall in Nyack, across the Tappan Zee bridge. Lot's of evening gowns and an entire section in the back for bridal gowns.

I've been to the store, they have a lot of gowns.

Group USA has a store with gowns in the Jersey Gardens Outlet mall in Elizabeth, NJ (by Newark Airport and Ikea).

Did you try any on? Were they good quality?

Your low budget doesn't preclude from looking at other designers as well. Start looking around to see what dress you like, which ones fit you better, etc. Once you've done that, then you can make it your task of finding it for a lot less money than what you saw. A lot of people rave about phyllis from gownfind.com being able to get their dress for a lot less money than what they originally saw it.

Good luck!

I was determined to get my gown for under 1k. I found a beautiful gown, and tried on many other gorgeous gowns at RK Bridal. I highly recommend that you give them a look.

Re: Have you heard of these gown 'designers'

I have to agree with RK being great. I was there on Sunday and tried on 5 dresses. Demetrios under 1000K, Private label under 1000K, I forget the others...But there are so many dresses in that price range, also try ebay, and Julius Bridal. Julius Bridal makes replicas and they are on EBAy as gowns 4 u- many excellent replies. I bought my cathedral veil from her.

FM with any questions

Don't know about those designers- but you can certainly find a quality gown for under 1k. I tried some on in that price range at Lynbrook Bridal Center on Sunrise Hwy.

Also, try Phyllis of Gownfind.com she gave me a really good oprice on a private label by G dress.

tHanks girls!! I was concerned I wasn't going to get treated very well (or that i would look crazy) if i went into a bridal salon with that kind of budget. Thanks for the advice!!

Also, Maggie Sottero dresses can run under 1K and I love her dresses!

Re: Have you heard of these gown 'designers'

I got my dress and veil for under 200 at Paradise. I wasn't paying over 1000 for anything. I found some nice things other places as well!

Sorry my veil was only 200 my dress was 800 I meant under 1000

I agree with the others about RK.... I actually got a new silk tafetta San Patrick (Pronovias) dress for only $610 from RK bridal no frills!!!! That's a huge discount off of the retail....
