shopping for BM dresses

Morning Girls,

I'm desperately trying to finalize my search and selection for a BM dress. I've been back and forth to Bridal Reflections in Massapequa and haven't really found the 'one'. Any other good stores I should check out? TIA

Also...how much is too much? I'm so focused on the prices of my selections that I'm passing right over dresses that are eye candy because of $$$$. What would you girls say is reasonable? I know this can vary but I'm just trying to get some ideas. I don't want to settle and I feel like I am

i can't help you too much on where to go...I've only been to RK Bridal in the city and Macy's Manhasset, and RK had a really large selection! I've also heard The Wedding Center in Commack has a lot as well.

As far as reasonable BM dresses, it really depends on who's in your bridal party and the relationship you have with them. On the average, I've spent $140-$220 on BM dresses for past weddings, not including alterations...and I thought that was a fair price. Good Luck!

I would try to keep it around $150 because they will also need alterations, and possibly shoes, if you want them to match.

I've heard that the Wedding Center in Commack has good prices.

Some bridal stores price match (Bonneventure does) so if you find the dress and then call up like pearls place (www.pearlsplace.com) and they give you a quote the bridal store might match it plus give you 10%..thats what i'm doing LOL

PS. I'm going to Hear Comes the Bridesmaid in Great Neck to try on dresses

I am going to try here comes the bridesmaid. I heard they have a great selection but crappy customer service.

I am trying to keep my dresses around 150. I am hoping to find ones we like, and then get them from bridesave!

I had been to Bridal Reflections, Bridal Suite of Bay Shore and Adrienne's in Islip. I hadn't found anything that seemed like it was 'it'. But yesterday we went to Wedding Plaza in Baldwin. They seemed to have a wide selection of dresses. Bridal Suite did also. They were both very affordable.
