I really like Alfred Angelo BM dresses, but I have a bit of a dilemma as far as where/how best to get them.
The bridal store (House of Brides - for those of you familiar with them) that has the best selection and prices has a TERRIBLE reputation. I've heard so many horror stories about dresses never coming in (and Brides finding out they have no dress the week of their wedding), that I'm a bit afraid to go there.
Other stores in my area that carry them will have a smaller selection and will be more expensive.
So, here's the question, do I:
a. have my BM's go to House of Brides to pick the dresses and then try to order them online?
b. tell House of Brides that my wedding is 2-3 months earlier than it actually is so that we'll still be able to get something somewhere else if the dresses never come? [It is because of this option that I am concerned about getting the dresses ordered relatively soon.]
c. bite the bullet and go to a different (more expensive) store?
TIA for your advice.
