Any suggestions on where I should look for my gown on LI. I really dont want to spend a fortune on my dress (no offense to those who did - I just feel like this is one corner I would like to cut) but would love a place w/ a decent selection to chose from since this is my first time looking. We are def. going to RK bridal but next weekend it will be easier for us to look on the Island. Any suggestions?

I'd like to hear experiences with RK Bridals....anyone please?

i got my BM dresses from there. The only issue I had was that I ordered the gowns 6 months in advance. 2 weeks before the wedding they STILL were not in and the girls needed to get them altered. (i didnt use the altering program through RK - they all had their own tailors they wanted to use). I would call every week and every week they would tell me 'next week'. I finally had to call in a panic and they got them in asap. Other than that, the selection was good, prices not bad.

I second Kleinfelds although I have not yet been there. I hear the selection alone is worth the trip.

I first saw the dress I like in a magazine and then started to call around to find a sample to try on.

I couldn't agree more- - I want a great dress, but I don't want it to be a big chunk of my budget (I wish it could be). I plan to look at David's Bridal, as well as Alfred Angelo - I like their stuff in the magazines.
