We ordered through Tesi Bridal in Ventnor. She carries a few different designers and can order whatever size and color you need. Dresses vary in price... I think mine were $200 and can definitely be worn again. Hope this helps!

We just went last weekend to Fantasy Weddings by Anne Marie. They were great and very helpful. I told them what I was looking for and they pulled the type of dresses that matched that. The girls were sized and dresses ordered within an hour and half and eventhough it was busy and a Saturday no one felt rushed. They are up Rt. 130 closer to Bordentown.

I'm having everyone wear whatever dress style they want as long as they're royal blue and floor length.  I will send them a swatch so that they can match the dresses to that color as closely as possible.  Otherwise, I'm not really that concerned about it - it's low on the priority list for me!  Maybe it's because I'm an "older" bride, I don't know.

Here comes the Bride in Somerspoint. She has a pretty good selection of bridesmaids dresses and she is the most reasonable. I actually found my dress somewhere else but my best friend used her and I liked her so I called and she gave me a price for 30 dollars cheaper than the other place.

We actually got ours at Ann Taylor in the KOP mall.  We bought them off the rack on clearance for $60!  They were brown long silk dresses and they were beautiful.  My BMs were super happy!

I looked at Kay Bridal in Maple Shade for fun with my MOH last week.  We just walked in.  I have read on the national boards that girls have found better prices on netbride.com than in the stores.  Has anyone here used them?

I could be wrong buy I remember someone telling me that netbride had knockoff dresses and not the real thing. Either way make sure you bargain for the price....My girls dresses were $260 at bridal garden....country way said $227, then bridal garden came back and said $215 and country way went down to $200.  So we saved $60 a gown going back in forth b/w the two.

I agree with NYgirl definitely try and bargain with whatever shop you choose to go with! It is also a good idea to get prices from other places as well. The dress my girls got was $220 at the bridal garden and $215 at Irmas. We let the women we were working with know the other prices and she worked out a great deal! We also got a discount for having more than 5 girls ordering and since it was the first Saturday of the month they also ran an additional promotion, my girls got their dresses for $169! I would recommend asking about additional discounts or trunk sales etc.

You can't go wrong with David's Bridal. They have tons of dresses in tons of colors for reasonable prices. I'm going to suggest to my maids in the USA that they go there. Unfortunately, I have one bridesmaid from Norway, so I don't think she has a local David's.

What about Priscilla of Boston?  There is a Priscilla store in Ardmore, PA, but this is one of my favorite designers bc the dresses don't scream bridesmaid if you know what I'm saying. They also have Melissa Sweet and Vineyard.  The dresses are typically priced - around 200-250 I guess.  Gorgeous gowns!http://www.priscillaofboston.com/dress_return.jsp?gid=2

Oh PS - I've been to Country Way in Haddonfield.  Everything in there is top notch and the service was awesome.

thanks girls for all the help hopefully ill find something at one of these places. Im very particular about my color so trying to find it is hard. i might have to just give in and use another color.

taccoten

mhuesser2

its like a pearl pink. but not to pale but not bright... see how picky i am its hard to find it. i found it by alfred angelo but i dont know of any stores close by

Priscilla of Boston has "English Rose" which is the perfect pearly pink color!  The other light pink is "Cosmetic" ... have you had a chance to check out the dresses on that website?

My color was really hard to find as well. It’s a bluish/turquoish it’s not aqua blue but its not exactly turquoise which more green kind of in between. I would definitely call up a few salons or even make a trip in to look at the swashes before you have your girls go order their dresses. Some of the designers have new 2010 colors that are coming out and when I looked on Bill Levkoff's website it wasn't even up there yet but Fantasy Weddings had his new swatches and the color worked out great!
