Arizona-Phoenix

New to the local boards!

Hi all, I'm new to the Knot boards! Just thought I'd check out the Phx area boards and got hooked! We are getting married April 2 of next year, only four months to go! Looking forward to reading more tips from local brides. I'm pretty far along in the planning process and am not a newbie to the wedding industry, so I hope I can help with some tips and advice along the way!

    Hi Jana!

    Another April 2011 bride here but I'm WAY behind in planning according to The Knot's checklist.  :) 

    So do you know of any re-sale gown shops?  I believe that Bridal Boutique on Scottsdale Rd. has gone out of business and that was the only one I knew of.

    Girlie1020:

    I've heard that the Virginia House in Phoenix/Glendale has an Open House every Thursday and there is a vendor that is there for the Open House that sales and I think even rents Resale Gowns. I've also been told about a Goodwill Bridal shop somewhere in Peoria. I've been curious about it as I'm  a "budget bride", but I live in the east (very east) valley and don't get a chance to get north much. Craigslist also has a ton a people selling their dresses.

    I think you're the closest to my date that I've seen so far.

    Thanks for the warm welcome all! I thought I'd get email notifications when someone responds, sorry for the long delay. :)

    I'm sorry, I don't know of any local resale gown shops. I got mine for about 40% off at Mariee, it was the sample, but it was in perfect condition! I love that shop!

    Almond Tree is awesome! I didn't get my gown there, but will be having my alterations done there and have gotten a couple accessories there for my hair. They are a wonderful shop esp. for someone needing a dress quickly and if you're on a budget. HIGHLY recommend them.
