Help from Rochester brides?!?!?!?

kevinandmonica2011

Hey ladies!
I have off work next Thursday (yay for Veteran's Day!) so I am taking this opportunity to drive out to Rochester to do some more dress shopping... and I am thinking that since it is 11/11 and I am a Veteran... maybe this will be my lucky day... maybe?!?!
So... since I am not familiar with Rochester at all.... I would love some help form the local ladies...
Do you know of any good dress shops?  Could you possibly provide the name and/or address or website or any other important info about them (ex- appointments required or suggested).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks and have a super awesome Friday!!!

hey Monica! There are alot of shops here... and I just bought my dress last night at Alfred Angelo!! It's on the far side of Rochester, in the suburb of Greece. and if you like the AA designs, its worth it to go!!! You can even just sign up for your appt. via email on their website (alfredangelo.com I think) It wasn't the "boutique" experience by any means, but I love my cutie attendant she helped me with the bridemaid dresses 2 weeks ago and then was there for my dress appt too, she was great remembering all of the little details, and made me feel really comfortable. I had the store to myself last night and all of the girls came to give me their opinions and it was great.
Here's my dress: I got it in light gold (its champagne really)

I would also try Bridal Belle in Henrietta - they carry a selection of all different designers - here is their website:

I have not heard good things about Peggy's bridal or deborah's bridal, so I would probably stay away from them - the staff are snooty, and once the sale is made service is nonexistant.

Other than that I don't have any other experiences outside of David's Bridal but good luck, and let me know if you need anymore help or have questions about AA!

I went to David's Bridal last weekend after reading horrible reviews for every bridal boutique out here (with the exception of Peggy's and Bridal Belle). I had a great experience! My consultant was Lori and she was awesome! Best of luck, bridal gown shopping is so much fun
