I just ordered my dress from Lillette's in Baldwin. I thought I knew what I wanted, but actually, I didn't. What I wanted wasn't flattering on my body type. Gerri at Lillette's was really helpful in finding dresses that were flattering on me, and they were styles that I had never considered trying (such as strapless). I told her the price limit that I wanted to set, and all the dresses she showed me were well under that limit. Good luck, and have fun!!

Thank you girls!! Do any of these places limit the amount of guests you can bring and how far in advance should I make an appt?

I ordered my dress from Angel's Bridal in East Islip and the experience and personal service there are great.

I went to Elegant Bride in Albertson. You should call ahead of time, but you might not need an appointment.

Bridal Reflections was helpful
Estelles was hepful
I went to a lot of smaller bridal shops as well, just to see their selection.

I went to Lillette's and they recommended that I didn't bring in more than 2 people - the only reason is that it is hard enough finding THE ONE, without having to listen to lot of other opinions.
