Best place to buy dress???

OK- so i'm not the average bride in that I wasn't ever super excited about the dress shopping part. Weird? I'm sure most think so. I feel so much pressure to get the perfect dress. I didn't have that moment of tears and thoughts that this is the "perfect dress". I did find a dress that is super comfy and looks great on me-- Adorae by Sottero & Midgley. So I think that will be the one. I went to about 5 shops and it's exhausting! SOOOO does anyone have any experience at either 2000 Dreams or Bridal and Tuxedo Galleria? Or even another place that carries Maggie Sottero. I totally loved ISIS but not in my price range. I want to save that money for the honeymoon!!!

I"m not going to lie- 2000 Dreams was a mess when I was there. People running around like crazy. Dresses all smushed everywhere. I didn't have a bad experience but it's not my favorite place. I liked Bridal and Tuxedo Galleria much more and the price for the dress is the same but it didn't get great reviews on yelp.

Thoughts??

I went to Bridal Tuxedo gallery to try on my maggie sottero dress (Antiona) I bought to show to my friend visiting in town since I purchased my dress in Orange County. I liked them and they said if I bought my dress there I could have gotten my choice of veil for free! The ambience/experience factor there isn't the best, but their selection looked good. I loved Mariposa Bridal In OC, they had an amazxing selection of Maggie Sotero dresses and had the syttd experinece with the stage and all being a cute boutique store.

don't know if you actually checked out Isis or just shied at the prices. I'm getting my dress there, and I'd recommend it, mostly because of Caitlin. Of everyplace I went, she had the best intuition of what kind of dress I should be looking at. she read my personality and my figure and really synthesized what it was that would work best for me. After going there, I had a MUCH better idea of what to look at when I was looking elsewhere.

I did go to Isis but the prices are too high. I;ve found plenty of amazing dresses around $1,000 so i don't want to spend $2,000. It was a beautiful place and the owners was wonderful! It's just not in my price range

I bought my dress at Aria at North County Fair mall, definitely wasn't expecting to find anything there but Abby was awesome and she ended up picking a dress that I never would have tried on, which ultimately ended up being the one.  She even went as far as to try one on next to me so I could compare them side by side I have nothing but good things to say about this place!  By the way my dress was a Maggie.
