Ooh, a secret! Okay, then:

-Bridal Center of Chattanooga, a small bridal shop which has since closed.

-Bridal Center of Chattanooga! I loved the atmosphere and the selection she had, so I really wanted to support her business. I’m happy I did!

Bought half of it from akira (need to add on to it)
Wanted to buy an Yves Saint Laurent.

i bought my dress at mon amie bridal salon in costa mesa, ca
i wanted to buy my dress at nicole miller in los angeles

Bought my dress at RK Bridal in New York City. I wanted to buy it wherever I found a dress I loved with a price in my budget – the name of the store wasn’t too important. Also shopped at Kleinfelds, which was nice, but thought RK was better, surprisingly.

I bought my dress from Bridals of Regiss Park in Glasgow, KY (went across state borders to save on sales tax- and they beat the price I got in Nashville).
I wanted to buy my dress from B. Hughes in Nashville, TN (Vera Wang shop).

Well- if I was going to buy a dress, it would be at The Wedding Shoppe in Wayne, Pa. The gowns are amazing and the service is top notch! Of course, I tell my clients about it! If you want my fantasy– Judd Waddell or Amsale- the showroom! They are the ultimate in my mind. I know this isn’t fair since I am not a bride, but couldn’t resist!!!

I haven’t bought a dress, but my answers are I’m probably buy a JCrew dress, but if I could have anything, I’d have a Vera OR a Lela Rose. Who knows…maybe I’ll splurge and go for one anyway. If I was to buy a Vera or a Lela Rose, I would go to NYC and go to their showrooms/stores.

I bought mine from A Bride Beautiful in Salt Lake City. I knew I wanted to buy from them because of their skill in alterations, and I found out that they could order almost any dress from any designer for me! So I went ahead and shopped around at different salons and as soon as I found the dress I wanted I called to find out if they could order it. I wonder if most bridal shops have that ability?

I bought my dress at Andrisen Morton in Denver, CO. My dress was a sample that was on sale for half the original price. I originally wanted to buy my dress from J.Crew.

I bought my dress at The Brides Room in Wheeling, IL.

Initially I thought I wanted to buy my dress at Wedding Belles in Barrington, IL but I didn’t find what I was looking for there since they only carry sample dresses.

Plus I feel in love with a dress at The Brides Room and they’ve been nothing but wonderful to me so far in the dress process!

I purchased my dress from Trudy’s Bridal Salon in Campbell, California. I wanted to purchase my dress from either Trudy’s or the Bridal Galleria in San Francisco.

I bought my dress at Morgane Le Fay in SoHo. I wanted something offbeat and unique. I didn’t really have a place where I wanted to buy my dress and if I had to do it all over again, I still would have bought my dress at Morgane Le Fay, it was the perfect place for me.

I bought my dress at Warren Barron Bridal in Dallas, TX. It was exactly where I wanted to purchase my dress, but I didn’t know it until I went to all of the other salons.

I bought my dress at Kleinfeld Bridal in NYC. I wanted to buy my dress at a smaller boutique salon or wherever i found the right dress at the right price.

I’m actually having my dress my made by a family friend, of a friend. I would love to have bought my dress at Suky, in Ardmore, PA.

I bought my dress at Kay’s Kreations in Tupelo.

I almost bought a dress from Bella Couture in Birmingham. I really wanted to go to Carriage House in Birmingham, but thought they might be a smidge out of my price range. Plus my mom and aunt insisted that I not confuse myself anymore. :)

I bought my dress at Brides and Beaux in Colleyville, TX. That’s where I happened to find my dress.

I didn’t really have a preference as to where I wanted to buy my dress.

I bought my dress at Miosa Couture in Sacramento. As soon as I walked in that shop I knew I wanted to get my dress there, especially since everything is custom, which is great when you are short! I have been very happy with the service and quality there. I was disappointed with the quality to price ratio at other salons I visited, especially at the huge places like House of Fashion. The only other place I seriously considered was Amy Kuschel in SF. All of her dresses are custom too.

I bought my dress at White Lace and Promises Bridal Boutique, Knoxville, TN – they have a huge selection

I wanted to buy a dress from Annabell’s Bridal in Athens, TN (formerly Brittney’s Bridal in Maryville, TN) – they’re a smaller store, but have great prices. The owner is a family friend and the store has wonderful customer service. The bridal party and my mother all bought their dresses from Annabell’s.

I bought my dress at a store in North Liberty, IA called Heart to Heart. I love it, and it was so much cheaper than I had budgeted for!

Because our wedding is in NYC, I had wanted to buy my dress in Kleinfeld, for the experience. I had envisioned my mom and sister and I going together, but in the end I was in Iowa and found the dress when I was shopping alone!

I bought my dress at Maya Palace in Tucson, AZ.
I had absolutly no idea where I wanted to buy a dress from. Weddind dresses, salons and purchasing of were so off my radar!

Bought it at The Wedding Shoppe in St Paul, MN. I tried telling myself that I could find a dress anywhere, but I knew I really wanted to find it there.

Kleinfeld in NYC. For both.

I bought my dress at Low’s Bridal in Brinkley, Arkansas. Although the salon is in a small town (located halfway between Little Rock and Memphis), they had an amazing selection of designers and the customer service was great. The building is also charming because it is located in beautiful historic building that once was a hotel. Because they had such a large selection, it was the first salon I visited, and I never had need to visit another.

i bought my dress at Le Soie bridal in Tustin, CA

i really had no preference where i had “wanted ” to buy it

My mother is making my dress – it is a copy of an Oscar de la Renta dress that I tried on at Ultimate Bride in Chicago.

I wanted to buy a dress from Belle Vie Bridal Couture in Chicago because my consultant was amazing!

i didn’t buy my dress- it is my mothers.
and i dreaded the idea of shopping for one, so i was super relieved when it fit. :)
