Wedding Dresses!

I am going for a wedding dress this Saturday! Where should I start looking? I am not looking to spend allot where I only get to wear it once! I'm looking for a pirce range of $1000 and under.

Need Help!!! Plus do I need to a hire a bridal consultant when I go to the bridal place?

Re: Wedding Dresses!

You can get some maggie sotteros in that price range i think....When i looked i went to bridal reflections in massapequa and they were really good about keeping in my price range. It's a little easier if you can budge a bit cause I know some maggies are $1200...but it's worth a shot!

yess..there is another maggie sottero thread-- but her gowns are definitely affordable!!! and if you like on of her gowns get a price and you can price around places are competitive with her gowns they will beat whatever price you got..go on her website!!

I believe that Nicole Miller has some beautiful gowns for around $1000. Also the latest issue of Bridal Guide had a ton of gowns for under $1000, so maybe check out those designers. Hope this helps!

I purchased my gown from David's Bridal and my experience was quite the opposite. I went to the one in Queens (Northern BLVD) and it was SUPERB. As for privacy, that was not a problem at all. As a matter of fact, they have a bunch of rooms that are numbered and each person is given their own room. You don't need to hire a bridal consultant...just make an appointment and you will be given a colsultant who will help you out during your stay. I cannot speak for the other David Bridal locations but the one that I went to was nothing short of excellent.
