Question: I just got engaged on Thanksgiving and we are planning to get married in the summer of 2013 (no date chosen yet). I don't really know anything about wedding stuff, planning, etc so hopefully some of you can give me some good advice. I know it varies a lot, but what price range do wedding dresses run? Also, I've heard it's cheaper to go to David's Bridal than a local bridal salon; is this true? If so, have any of you shopped at David's and if so how was your experience?
Later, I went to David's Bridal... I didn't care for my bridal consultant, but one of the managers was one of the sweetest girls I have ever met... And I found "the one" at a very reasonable price... My dress came in 2 months later... I haven't done alterations yet, b/c it's still awhile away.... I will probably bring my dress back 6-8 months prior to the wedding. Just to be on the safe side.
Wedding dress can run anywhere's from $99 David's Bridal have to thousands and thousands. It probably is cheaper to go to David's Bridal however I would suggest with all the experiences I have had with them in the past not to. I find there dress is reasonable price but I would rather pay a little more to have a better quality and better help that I received there. I did not buy my dress there but got the bridesmaids dresses there and it was a very big hassle. I did make an appointment and everything just didn't get the help I expected. In fact, my flower girl dress was picked out w/a sash the lady fitted her and everything knowing my color.
Then when her mother went to check out they told her that particular dress didn't match my color sash. As well dresses must be paid in full before ordering. If you order dyed shoes you must order them and pay. Then once they come in resend them off through them to get them dyed. Just want I experienced there. I did buy my dresses from a local bridal salon and was overwhelmed with the help I received. I even received a hand written letter the day after in the mail just thank me for going shopping there.
I have seen ball gown or a-line at a local place from 300-1200. The local salon I went through uses Essence of Australia, Casablanca, and many more if you want to see just a few different kinds in that price range. My dress is suppose to take about 4-6 months due to custom length (since I'm short) ordered that with the company so less I have to do when it comes in. The dress will be redone to the length I need it for all the details to be brought to smaller scale. I would recommend at least 6 months before just in case.
