Hey Ladies! I am super excited to go for my first dress shopping experience. But i do not know where I should go.
So at the moment I think my budget is $1200 (I have not talked to FH about this but i don't care ! lol )
I was going to go to Babylon Village Bridal & Boutique or Bridal Reflections in Massapequa.
The dilemma I am facing is that I do not want to go to a place where all they have is $2,000 + dresses and get depressed that i cannot afford it.
Any ideas or suggestions?!?
BTW I live in the West Babylon area, so I do not want to go too far :)

I would suggest Lillete's, Bridal Elegance, Helen's. I think you can find plenty in your price range but I don't know about finding it at Bridal Reflections.

Re: Where to go for a Wedding Dress?!
I was in about the same price range as you and I visited: David's Bridal Macy's Demetrios Salon RK Bridal Bridal Reflection Massepequa. Out of these I would recommend the 1st three. Bridal reflections told me their gowns started at 1200 but everything she brought me was over that price. They do have some beautiful gowns though.
I recommend taking a trip to the city one morning and going to RK, they have a large selection and their prices are great.

Thanks so much for all of the suggestions. I think i am going to shy away from Bridal Reflections and stick with Babylon Village and see what happens there.
Thanks again :)

I know of a place in forest hills, queens which has a nice selectionnat great prices and its a boutique. I thought my dress would be much more expensive and it ended up being a total steal, less than 2k for sure.

I got my dress at the Bridal Suite of Centereach and all the dresses I tried on were between $800-$1200. Good luck!

I had an excellent experience with Helen's in Commack! And my gown was MUCH less than 2,000! Plus they offer a promotion where you can get either 100 off your gown or a free veil up to $250 (I think?), so it's another chance to save. I worked with Ashley, she was so, so patient and accommodating!

Check out local boutiques by your house. That's what I did and found a great deal.

Def try RK Bridal... so many choices and all different prices. You can definitely get a dress under 1,200
Good Luck!

I'd definitely recommend the Vera Wang White Collection at David's Bridal. The dresses are gorgeous and I think the most expensive dress is $1200-$1400. Good luck!

I went to Village Bridal. They are very reasonably priced.. Dresses I was looking at didnt go over $1400. They are very nice too.

Crashing......
If this is Alexandra Boutique I for sure agree! They are having a HUGE sample sale too going on now. Just picked up my dress yesterday from there.
I also recommend Bridal World in Baldwin

Haha Jmrosa1!
Congrats! I actually bought my dress the week before the sample sale but I still know it was a great price. I'd rather deal with smaller boutiques like this JMHO. I've done larger places for my sweet 16 gown, etc and have had nightmares. I think we made a good choice

Yep!! I stumbled upon that place looking for a specific dress....went and ended up purchasing a different dress than I originally went for. Joseph is super nice..and gave me a deal on my BM dresses since I ordered my dress from there too.
