Use Ann Taylor Celebrations for your bridemaid dresses? They don't do alterations...curious to know what people thought of quality and service. Thanks!

Re: Is anyone, or did anyone...

I used them! My BMs love them. They're pretty good quality. I've actually bought Celebrations dresses to wear to weddings! If they discontinue the style they sometimes send them to different stores to sell at a discount. I love them!

As far as service - I haven't heard any complaints, but to be honest my girls didn't deal with the sales people all that much. They just went in and purchased the dress ... actually at least half of them ordered them off the internet!

Just a tip - make sure your girls get a 20% off coupon, and if they sign up for a card they'll get an additional 10% off - one of my girls actually signed up on a day when they were offering 20% off for signing up, so she got 40% off her dress!

The girls all went to their own tailor, which ended up being cheaper than a bridal salon. Some of them didn't even need alterations.

Good luck!

I think I am going to use them. I am debating whether I can get all the girls to get them while I have the 20% off coupon or if i should wait it out.

I didn't use them but one of my BM's did for her wedding, and she loved them. HTH

Great! Good luck! I'm sure your girls will appreciate it. I ended up just getting the Diana Long Dress in black, so the girls plan on getting them shortened after the wedding and wearing it again, so that made me feel good too.

Where do you get the 20% off coupon?

Re: Is anyone, or did anyone...

Also, on a side note...A friend of mine is bridesmaid in another wedding and they are wearing the celebrations dresses. Unfortunately when they got to the store the color the bride was looking for was discontinued...They had a few dresses left (discounted down to $88 from $188)....which covered 3 of the 5 girls. They looked on eBay and were able to buy the other two dresses directly on eBay for only $75!!!! So, if you do decide to go with them definitely get the girls' sizes and then check eBay to see if they have it (to get it for a cheaper price)
