Hello fellow brides to be!
I'm getting married next July and I'm starting to think about dress shopping. I don't have a large budget for my dress (I want to spend under 700) but I don't want to be restricted to davids bridal. Are there any other bridal salons that have well priced dresses?

    Where in the Hudson Valley are you located? I went to Letitia's in Monsey. She had a large selection.

    I would still go to David's Bridal! I went there to see what styles would look good on me, and it was 13 months before my wedding- so I really wasn't going to buy a dress...I kept saying "I want to get my dress at a real store- not David's Bridal" But the first dress I tried on was absolutely gorgeous.  I tried on other very gorgeous dresses- but that first one was so perfect.  I ended up paying $675 for a Melissa Sweet gown.  It was the last one in stores, my size AND on sale.  I couldn't have found a similar gown at that price.  Also, I went on the site and marked all of my favorites, brought the list to the shop and the consultant I worked with just started picking some that she thought would look good on me from the racks.  Each one she chose was perfect for my body type.  I had a list of over 20 dresses but I could have stopped at the first dress.  I had a really good experience, but I know that a lot of people don't have that much luck there.

    I'm near kingston, I've never heard of Letitia's but that's so ironic because that's my future mother in law's name!

    Yes, in NYC:
    Rent the Runway
    RK Bridals
    Glamour Closet
    For the lower budget gowns, you'd have to shop from the rack and pay for alterations.  For RK - go on their website and print out the dresses you want to try on.
