Best Dress Shops for $1000 budget?

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for where I should/shouldn't shop. I live in Coral Gables and I have a $1000 budget. I've been looking, and have been to about 4 shops on miracle mile, one near dadeland, one in kendall, one in hallandale... plus some in Canada!I found a Maggie Sottero and a Sottero & Midgley I like, but want to look a little more before I make any decisions.I'd like to try more Maggies/S&M (hehe).Has anyone been to Couture Bridal in Bal Harbour or The Bride's Choice in Plantation? Any other stores worth checking out with other designers?TIA!

    With that budget you can definately get a Maggie dress from Brides of Florida! They have great prices from what I have seen...

    You could always call Pearl's Place and find out what they are selling the dress you love for. I found my dress originally for $1000 and bought it from Pearl's Place for about $580. Just a thought! Good Luck! :)

    Patricia South is great and Boca Raton Bridal is where I got my dress. They have alot of higher priced dresses, but I got mine for close to $1000..they even have a rack that has dresses under $1000. Great selection and costumer service as well.

    I went to about 6 or 7 bridal shops before finding my gown. I finally found it at Bellisima Bridal in Deerfield Beach. The dresses were gorgeous and the service was great. I got my Watters & Watters gown for $1000

    In addition to Pearl's Place, check out www.rkbridal.com - I'm a big fan because I saved 60% on my dress through them.  Also check out www.leephilipbridals.com and www.jaysbridal.com once you find a dress you like.

    I went to Bride's of Florida last week. I might go back and see if there's anything else I want to try. I went to Happy Bride today and found a dress I like, but I want to be sure before I order anything!Thanks!
