I'm looking to go wedding dress shopping for the first time this week. I live near Naperville and was wondering if anyone had reccomendations about where to buy the dress?? Anywhere in the Naperville, Plainfield, Geneva, St. Charles area would be appreciated! What stores in this area did you shop at and what was your experience like?? Thank you for your help!!

    There's a new adorable, affordable boutique in downtown Wheaton called The Dress by Nicole. Nicole is this cute young owner who knows fashion/been in the bridal biz and she's almost always there to work WITH you! I'm getting my dress there at her trunk show in a few weeks- good luck! :)

    White Carriage in Shorewood (RT 59 and RT 52 - just south of Plainfield). I bought my prom dresses there in HS, and will be going back next month to start my gown shopping. Super cute lil shop, with very friendly help! There is also a cute shop in dt Plainfield...

    I 3rd a Joyful Occasion.  I found my dress in about an hour.  The nice thing-- my  mom was able to peruse through the dresses while I was trying one on, and found it for me.  Most dresses I tried was around $1500 give or take a few.La Sposa dresses are gorgeous--- which is what I went in there for, but I ended up getting a Paloma Blanca dress instead.  It helps to look at the lines they carry too... I live in Downers Grove, and it was nice to find my dress so close by.  Good luck!

    Oh yea, and I was goin to go to The Dress by Nicole in Wheaton, but I found my dress right away...  I called there, and they were super nice and super responsive--- and it seemed like they had great price points.I think both options would be great.  :)

    I got my La Sposa gown at White Satin Bridal in downtown Plainfield. Highly recommend because of their attentiveness and great personalities.

    I second Crystal Bride in Geneva. Heather there is GREAT! If you want a bigger selection there isa House of Brides and Davids in Naperville. I would not suggest going to Catherine Simms in Naperville, especially for your first time out bc the selection is very limited and they aren't very helpful in suggesting good silhouttes.
