Bridal Store Discounts?

FalStar

Do any of you know of any bridal stores which offer good discounts on gowns? I found a Maggie Sottero bridal gown (style:Rachael) which I love. Unfortunately, it's a bit out of my price range. Any suggestions of stores with special discounts which carry Maggie Sottero gowns would be great! (Preferably within a 100 mile radius of Madison). Thanks!

Amelishan gives 10% off the first time you go to the store.  I feel like that's a lot of pressure.  Edith's offered a 10% off for the first week or two (I think it depends on the special at that time).  If you know what dress you want and what size, I would definitely check out the prices online.  I know Pearl's Place, HouseofBrides (brick and mortar store is in Chicago) and RK bridals were suggested-but you can ask on the attire board for more options.  Definitely don't get a dress from China though.  GL!

I don't know about discounts, but I got my Maggie gown from Vera's House of Bridals on High Point Rd. in Madison.

I just suggest calling around and asking what they specifically charge with tax for that dress. Its the easiest way. Because they all mark dress up differently so even if one store has a bigger discount it could still cost more.

When I was planning, the biggest rave was netbride.com.  It's something to look into!

There is a shop just north of Antigo (a little further of a drive for you) called Designer Bridal Discounts....she gets samples from stores and sells them for $300 and less!  She had a few Maggie Sottero dresses when I was there! check it out!

I actually called Pearl's Place. The are in Louisiana, but they will give you a quote for the real dress.  I only read great reviews. I took that quote to a place by me in St Paul and they actually matched it, and it was like 25% cheaper.  They knew it was the real deal and they wanted to keep my business.  Might be worth a shot. Otherwise, like I said, I only got great reviews of Pearls Place, I would have used them if my place wouldn't have matched it.  Good Luck!
