Re: NEED HELP!!!!!

Why don't you try sorting by $$ instead?

Maybe have three categories Dress under $600, Between $600 and $1500 and Over $1500.

Depending on your budget I'm sure you can delete some.

I'd love to go to just one store...but so many of these come highly recommended. I've complied this list over the past few months - as you can see, it's very complete

Money is not an issue when it comes to my dress so can't sort it according to that. Help ladies!

Re: NEED HELP!!!!!

go to a huge store that has everything like RK bridals or some where close to you and then shop around for the cheapest price...for me it was Phillis at Bridal Elegance but I found my dress at Lillettes in Baldwin.

Loved Kleinfelds! They were so nice and helpful.

Re: NEED HELP!!!!!

Girlies,
I need you to tell me BAD things about these places so that I can narrow my list down

Re: NEED HELP!!!!!

Hey,

I would definitely start at Kleinfeld's. They have such a great selection and the people there are awesome. I met the owner both times I went and they made me feel so special. Everyone is truely special. Even if you do not order your dress from there it is worth the expierence.

I also looked at dresses in Lestan, not that great. It is in the basement. All the dresses are stuffed in the closet and the help was so rude.

I also went to Bridal Reflections which was good but I am partial to Kleinfeld's.

Hope this helps.

I agree with this!!

I went to Kleinfeld's, found THE ONE, and then went to Blanchee's and ordered it there .....

Re: NEED HELP!!!!!

I went to Paradise Bridal, but I was helped by Stephanie. She really made it a lot of fun, and they have dresses in every price range!

Re: NEED HELP!!!!!

in terms of finding a dress, if you went to Kleinfeld you could probably eliminate wedding salon of manhasset, wedding atellier, the vera wang webiste, and amsale... I feel like you will be able to find the same dresses. As far as actually purchasing the dress, find the one you want, then call around and get prices...at least that is what I did. all of the places are so highly recommended you probably cant go wrong with most. But, from someone who had major issues in selecting their dress, I would say concentrate on the dres you want first, then pick the place you want to buy it at either by price, convenience, or where you get the best feeling.
