I ended up ordering my gown from an online retailer ( a legit one lol) but I did shop around town, too. I highly recommend Debi's at the North Star location, the IH-10 Alfred Angelo location, and Mayfair bridal (at 410 and Broadway.)

I bought my dress from a David's bridal in Austin while I was visiting some family. I went to the one here in SA on 410 near Evans to look at some cap sleeves and the ladies there weren't helpful at all. I asked her if I could try on my style of dress with the sleeves to get an idea of what it would look like and I literally had to find the dress on the rack myself and it was a size 18. I asked her if she had any smaller and she told me no. They only had one other person trying on dresses while I was there. It wasn't like they were busy. There were other issues, but it would take a while to explain. Needless to say, I was furious by the time I left.

till I become a Mrs.

I bought my dress at the David's in Missouri City. I did not have a good experience at the one near North Star Mall. Like niknik said, they were unprofessional to say the least and not at all helpful.

I have heard decent things about the Alfred Angelo that is right there.

I got my dress at the Davids near Ingram mall and the lady was WONDERFUL. She was very nice and helpful. She also gave me and my bm her full attention. I have also been to the northstar location... NOT GOOD lol

I bought at Davids across from Northstar. No appointment, during the week and I had her full attention. Consultant nailed it on the first dress. I told her my vision and I bought the first dress she pulled... best part was it was $950 dress on sale for $399.

I bought my dress from Signature Bridal Salon in Austin. I tired several David's Bridals (including some in SA), called around to the other ones listed and I received horrible service. I did a lot of research online (reviews, etc) and found Signature. I had the BEST service ever!! I absolutely love these ladies. They helped make my shopping experience perfect. My mom flew in for only one weekend so we were on a time crunch. The consultant was the sweetest person and helped me so much. I am so excited to go back for my alterations!! Best of luck :)

I have my first appointments this weekend at Mayfair Bridal and Bridal Salon of SA (Broadway & Hildebrand). I also have a couple of appointments in Houston. If I have no luck there, I will make appointments with Debi's Bridal, Bridal Connection (in Rolling Oaks Mall), and Bridal Galleria (on San Pedro).

I went to Debi's bridal and the owner is very nice however the girl, yes girl wasn't too helpful. I found one dress however it wasn't the One. David's bridal the saleswoman was nice and helpful however the dress wasn't for me. As far a the service there I agree Alfred Angelo and Davids the service isn't personal and not really indivual but it you might find better luck. Ultimately I went to Mayfair and Jasmine is the only one I deal with. The owner is really nice but the other two saleswomen who knows. One seems a bit stuck up and if you aren't a size 8 or smaller she wouldn't waste her time on you helping find a dress. The other lady to be honest haven't interacted with much-I think she is new.
I also went to San Antonio Bridal Salon -Broadway to find some accessories and Amy is super nice-I hope not its not bc I went in 15 min to closing and bought a beautiful -super expensive balero jacket. But she did inquire about express shipping and offered to help me with my dress and I was able to get an early appt.
In closing... really, really think about what you want your dress to look like (or you in your dress). Good Luck!

Mayfair is where I went. They have a large selection in stock which makes it easy to find something you want and i would guess their dresses don't exceed $3,000ish, where as San Antonio Bridal Salon gowns probably starts at $3,000. I would shop around as far as prices and compare them to Bridal Gallaria, because I kind of feel they may change the prices just because. I ended up buying my dress from Mayfair, I get it in May...we'll see how it all turns out!!

I bought my dress from Destiny Bridal and Maria was AMAZING. I didn't have an appointment the first time I went in and they still meet with me and let me try on several dresses (ended up being there for almost 2 hours). I set a follow-up appointment and ended up spending an additional couple of hours there and found "the one"! I highly recommend giving them a try.
