With a mission to spend under $1000 on my wedding dress, I went visited at least five bridal stores in the suburban Maryland area. I was so disappointed. I found the staff to rude to other customers (who wanted to resell their dresses), dressing room curtains not fully closed while I was changing, managers who freaked out when I tried to sketch a dress so I could remember it (no pens allowed)...on and on. One store owner was smoking outside as I was walking in for my appointment, I had to grin and bear (bare) it as she helped me.
After all of this frustration and high prices, I decided to stop by David's Bridal. It was a THURSDAY night (much different than a weekend experience I am sure). I was afraid of what I was in for, but it couldn't get much worse...but thankfully it only got better! I had a wonderful, funny and warm sales woman. I tried on several dresses and happened to take one off the $99 rack. When I tried that one on I just fell in love with it! I couldn't believe it was soooo inexpensive! You can't buy the fabric for that much money. Obviously I ditched my prior first choice ($990)and saved myself a whole lot of money. Try out David's on a weekday and maybe you will have great luck too!
