expressions bridal formal in mentor

Any thoughts on this store?I am looking for my bridal gown and I really really don't want to buy anything expensive. I just want something light that doesn't have a huge train or needs extensive bustling. Is this a place I should check out?Or anyone else have any other suggestions?I've been to The Perfect Bride and I'm going to check out David's Bridal and possibly Pat Catans.

    This is where I got my dress. You would probably like my dress it's Mori Lee Style #6303. It is verrrrrrrrrrrrry in expensive. If you get other items from the store, you save on your dress or veil. When I went, Melissa helped us out a lot. They also have bridesmaid dresses and mother of the bride dresses as well. Hope this helps!!

    I personally got my dress at the filene's running of the brides and they are having it again here this fall--so that is an option if you don't want to spend a lot of money.  I didn't go in really wanting anything specific so that definitely helped! Or, if you figure out what style/designer/size you need, Anything Bridal is great--you get a discount on thier stuff and Stacey is awesome. http://www.anythingbridal.com/It looks like they have dresses as well.

    I have found expressions is costly, and doesn't carry a lot in stock.  Bridal & Tuxedo Emporium on Robin Hood Drive in Willoughby(right off route 20) carries a wider variety and seemed to be less expensive with very friendly customer service.  It isn't the prettiest of store fronts, you would definately walk into expressions 1st if they were side by side, but as far as price, I think they have expressions beat. I looked in both stores, and would have ordered from bridal & tux emp. if I hadn't found my dress cheaper online.   I hope you find what you're looking for!  HTH!

    I would try on dresses anywhere.. then always check out www.peridress.com   because they tend to be cheaper... I want somthing simple too.. everywhere I go I tell them let me try anything simple w/ no poof and not a lot of beading, if at all... Now, I have found on this site: cost $99.99 Eden Bridals Style 1158 also another of my favorites is David's Bridal Style T9445 $399..~Also Catan Fashions in Strongsville, OH has a TON of styles to try on.. That place is like a mall!!!! Hope that helps.. Good Luck!

    I am getting my dress from Expressions and found the people working there are very helpful. I am a very indecisive person and they helped me narrow my dress down to the one :) I plan on taking my bm there to find their dresses...hth!

    I got my dress, veil, and shoes there and my bridesmaids dresses and shoes there as well. We all got $ off since I got my dress there. All the salespeople were friendly (Melissa rocks!) and helpful and my dress was not that expensive. I really like that they were close by me too it helped when it came time for alterations. HTH!

    I hope this isnt too late, but I loved Expressions! I got my dress there as well as my BMs dresses. The people there are great and very helpful and give you an honest opinion. I think they are very well priced, around the same as David's Bridal but better quality. When I went to David's Bridal they weren't helpful at all and some of the dresses felt very cheap.
