Village Bridal

anyone have any experience shopping for their gown there? my budget is 1500 tops. i absolutely can not go over...so i would love to hear about your experience

My dress was way less than that. I had a great experience there, espcially being plus sized, they had a lot of beautiful things... and they have a good selection of low to moderately priced designers... Maggie, Sophia Tolli, Lazaro, Demetrios, Mon Cheri, Eve of Milady... definitely go try them, but if you can, I would go during the day on a weekday... you'll be the only one in there and the girls that are there during the day are a lot nicer from my experience.

Laura helped me and was great.

I didn't have a great experience with them but a lot of girls do.

I had an appt. and there was nobody helping me. My BM and I were pulling dresses off the rack and my BM was putting me in the dresses and zipping/tying them. They never offered any help I didn't find a dress there but if I had, I wouldn't have ordered from them for the lack of customer service. But again, some girls rave about them. Maybe they were having an off night.

You went at night, right?

I think that has everything to do with it.

I went twice during the day for my dress, once with one of my BM's and then I took my mom back when I was ready tomake a decision, and the service was great.

Then I went at night for BM dresses and it was lie a different store... the first girl who helped me was, I guess, at the end of her shift and more concerned about going home and the lady who took over was kind of nasty when I started asking questions about some of the dresses we had filtered it down to.

I thought they were okay. I was annoyed because they completely didn't listen to my budget. Put on a dress they pulled for me (after asking my budget), absolutely loved it, and then saw it was more than 2k over my budget. That REALLLLLYYYYYY pissed me off.

Wow, I had no idea people were so unhappy there!

Don't worry. Everyone has different experiences. I absolutely love my salon (Paradise) but then sometimes I hear girls complain about them. Everyone has different wants/needs.

I agree some people say they hated Bridal Reflections and I had a wonderful experience. It all depends on the day and who the salesperson is. Tthe salesperson has a lot to do with whether or not you have a good experience. You may find a great dress but be completely turned off from a place bc of the salesperson

This makes me so sad I am going there the last Sunday of the month at noon. I was really looking forward to going based on all the brands they have listed on the site... Does anyone know a place that offers the same designers

---

Don't be sad... One thing I have learned on this site is YOU need to experience things for yourself and keep an open mind. Not everyone has the same outcome. I had a wonderful experience there. DOn't stress, just go... tell them your budget and see what happens! Worst case scenario, you don't get a dress there. Honestly though it is best to not miss out on something just because if what others say.

I had a similar problem there, if you ever have problems w/ the service there, email dynasty limousines through this site (thats the owner), because i tried to call there and I couldnt get in touch w/ the owner about something.

I wasn't crazy happy there when I looked. The woman was very nice but swore I would pick something I knew I absolutely didn't want. My sister helped me into a few of the dresses before the woman realized I needed help. I wanted to cry in the middle of trying on dresses there. But I know people who had completely different experience than me.

---

Me too. Sux i literally can walk to the place. Now i have to drive to bay shore and honestly, i am not crazy about them either. I just have NO patience for shopping whatsoever.

Did they have plus sizes there to try on? For bridal or for bridesmaids??

i got my dress from village.. the experience was fine, nothing to fancy, but I knew what I wanted from an amazing experience at another store. They beat the price by almost 700 bucks so it was a clear winner for me. :)

I def did not have a bad experience and when I went to look for bridesmaid gowns they just let me sort through the racks myself (which I liked for the BM dresses). Everyone in there was really nice and no one seemed to be stuck up.

They have A LOT of designers which is good as well.
