My dress shopping experience update

Original post by chrissyandvin

Ok... sooo my dress shopping at Bridal Reflections in Massapequa.. ummm lets put it this way..They are way over priced so I will not be buying a dress there. I found a dress that I love!! I am trying to find a pic of it. Its a Jasmine. But they ask you what your budget is there which I didn't like.. so I asked to see another dress and she was like thats over your budget' so she really wouldn't even let me see other dresses. The only way I was able to find the Jasmine dress was because another girl there had it on and I LOVED it! The train on it is insane!!! sooo beautiful!! I looked like a little princess in it! It's not a pull up either like I wanted! Its soo different from the Carle Place Bridal Refelections.. you can't even see any dresses there unless they take u downstairs in the basement.. so weird!! Its a little to expensive for me! I asked to see dresses 2,000.00 and under! And I only said 2,000.00 cause I got the feeling they wouldn't show me anything unless I put that down!! So I will most likely be buying my dress from The Bridal Suite in Centereach! They are a LOT cheaper! I asked to see a Maggie dress that I tried on once before that was a pull up and she told me Maggie doesn't make them.. well I know she does cause I tried one on before and a girl on here bought one.. but at the bridal suite in centereach it was 700.00 so that's why they don't have it cause it's under 1,000.00!! I was a little upset about that. For example.. A dress that Dayna (sugarkube4) had tried on somewhere else was about 400.00 more there. And a dress I tried on at The Bridal Suite in Centereach was about 450.00 more there as well. So That was my experience. They have gorgeous dresses there but I just feel like I can do better somewhere else.

I had the exact same experience as you did -

also, when you tell them your budget is $2k - all they did was bring me out dresses that were at the top of my budget.

Im glad you found a dress you love!

I got my dress at Paradise Bridal in Patchogue. Its a Jasmine, and they have a huge selection of Jasmine dresses there!!
All the places ask what your budget is because if you can't spend more then 2K and they show you a 6K dress that you fall in love with, they don't want your heart to be broken because you can't afford the dress.

OMG..I heard BR In Massapequa were jerks! Go to Lillettes in Baldwin. I went to Macy's in Manhasset to try on the Demetrios dresses and I'm having Lillette's order my dress since they carry the desinger. They also carry Maggie and Jasmine and are much nicer, reliable, and reasonably priced. Definately check them out! Good luck!
