The Wedding Center - ordering bm dress?

I went into The Wedding Center today in Commack, and they agreed to match the lowest price I found online for a bridesmaid dress. I have heard not the best reviews for this place but it's mostly about their photos and video. Anyone have dress experience there?

Re: The Wedding Center - ordering bm dress?

Three of my four BMs got their dresses there. The one that got her gown elsewhere got measured where she got it and it fit her perfectly. I measured my one BM, and gave Wedding Center her measurements/preferred size. Her gown came in and it fit perfectly. My other friend got measured and sized at another store and called it in to Wedding Center to order; hers also fit perfectly. My MOH got measured AT Wedding Center, and her gown is enormous on her... like you could fit another person in there. And, they made her pay $60 extra to go into the plus sizes, meanwhile it's swimming on her and she could have ordered one size down, saved the $60, and it probably still would have been big. The moral of the story for me is, if you're going to order there, measure yourselves, or get measured elsewhere. I think they purposely mis-measure to increase chances of your girls needing pricey alterations.

Thanks for the feedback! The girls all measured themselves and sent me their measurements. Did the wedding center have the dresses on time and everything??

The Wedding Center - ordering bm dress?

We ordered the bridesmaid dresses at the Commack Wedding Center. I personally did not have any issues. I think if you go in with an open mind that it is a bare bones facility and knowing that the staff is not the friendliest then you won't be disappointed. The reason why I chose to order there was the same as you, they had the lowest price. The dresses came in early and were exactly what I wanted.
My only suggestion would be to take the dresses somewhere else to be altered. Good luck!

My mom ordered her dress here in June and they called and said it came in already. We had no issues and the women were very helpful.
