Re: RK Bridal

Plenty of selections I would go either during the week or just one they open on the weekend
if it is for bm dresses one bridal party per dressing room

Re: RK Bridal

I know that they match prices by 5% or something -so you'll defintely get the best deal. I've heard mixed reviews about the service.

Love RK. I love how you can just walk in and try o as many dresses as you want without an appointment. They have a very nice selection of dresses

Great experience so far at RK. I ordered my BM dresses there and they were the cheapest of any place I looked... and the woman who helped to order was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. I did the 'no frills' program where you just order & pick them up- no alterations done there. MY FSIL order her wedding gown from there last year too and I believe she had a good experience as well.

Re: RK Bridal

so you think i can order them and then the girls can get their alterations done somewhere else?

Re: RK Bridal

so far so good! i got all 11 bm dresses there. not in yet, just ordered them end of october. I did no frills and did it all on my own. My only reccomendation- If you have the girls give you the deposits and u bring them all in, have them all do cash, or write a check out to YOU and you bring the cash. this way they can all be on one order form. otherwise you will have to do a different order form for cc, cash and check, very annoying!!!! oh and do it all at once, to ensure proper dye lot. lastly, ask for sandy, she is a big help. usually you dont get any help if you are doing the no frills, bc its all on you, but sandy will help!!!

Re: RK Bridal

I went twice, the first time was awesome and the second time was horrible, that's why I did not order my dress from them.

Yes, they call this their No Frills program. They girls put their own measurements/size on the order form and when they dresses come in they get their alterations done elsewhere. This will give you the lowest prices on the dress.

Re: RK Bridal

So would it be rude if i went to another salon and tried the dresses on there and then order at RK?
How do the measurements work?
Dont they have different sizes for different designers?
The girls would need to get measured somewhere else right?

I had an awsome experience and ordered my dress with them. I'm not big on hovering salespeople so their level of service was fine for me.

Yes your girls will have to be measured elsewhere but they provide measurment charts online that you can take the figures the girls give you and find the closest size.

You can try them on wherever you want. You don't have to order through RK while physically there. You just fax in the form so you actually never even need to speak to them. The girls measure themselves or have someone measure them. Then they plug their measurements into the size chart on RK's website. You send in one order form with all of the girls' sizes. My advice is to put it all on one card and have the girls write that person a check/or give them cash for their share.
All of the info though is on RK's website, if you still have more questions feel free to FM me, I've done it a few times already, or call RK directly. They're quiet during the daytime hours on weekdays and someone can walk you through it over the phone.

Re: RK Bridal

I bought my dress at RK, only because i got a great price. the first person i worked with wasnt too bad, i think her name was silvia??. but the second time i went i had to work with someone named nicole who was TERRIBLE. she was rushing me, and telling me what i wanted to hear because i guess she wanted to go on break...i asked her if i could see other dresses that looked like the one i liked and she said after the multiple times i asked 'no, there is nothing like this!' even though the last time i went there were plenty of similar dresses... . but basically i knew what i wanted and they had the best price so i bought it anyways...i

if it werent so busy(wednesday at 1130am!) i would have requested another person. i am nervous about the alterations though, if i could do it somewhere else i would but i dont know where else to go...

Their alterations are great. You have nothing to worry about.

Re: RK Bridal

I went to rk twice. First, i had emily she was great and gave me her honest opinion. Then the second time i had sueli..she was a little hard for me to understand but basically it was ok cause i just went again to try on the 3 dress i liked. I actually found the dress i wanted at rk but didnt end up ordering with them because i found it somewhere else cheaper and i will recieve the dress fast than rk. I need to find a seamstress thou to do my alterations. FM if you girls have any recommendations. thanks!
