Wedding Dress Question

Hey ladies! Hope all is well. Sorry I only seem to pop up when I have questions lol But my cousin just got engaged and she's getting married in September! Her dress budget is $1000. Any ideas in NYC/NJ?

Re: Wedding Dress Question

  • I would suggest RK Bridal (I wonder if they are still in business?!) but that is where I got my dress. Good luck and congrats to your cousin.

  • Definitely RK Bridal in NYC - that's where I got my dress and it was $600. They also have a price match program, where if you find the dress cheaper elsewhere, you pay that price minus 5%, I believe, at RK. Not sure if they still have that though.
  • You can also try David's Bridal!

  • Not in NJ/NY, but still close, in Philly, there is a little boutique that sells designer dresses that were either sample dresses in trunk shows or dresses that were worn in runway shows. None of her prices are over 800$.

    There are a TON of dresses crammed into a small little room, and the woman who owns the place is extremely helpful and aware of her stock.

    I got an Alvina Valenta dress #9556, it was originally 3500$. it wasn't stained or damaged in anyway. With the money I saved, I was able to go to an amazing seamstress and have it embellished with vintage lace, pearls and brooches and still stay within my budget.

     

    Good Luck!

    She could make an appt to try The Bridal Garden.  You can find a great bargain there (but they don't have too much of a selection in larger sizes, not sure if that applies.)  It's not great if you're *just* starting looking but if she has a pretty good idea of what she wants, it may be fine.
