Bridesmaid Dresses

Hi!

Does anyone have any suggestions or had great experiences with purchasing bridesmaid dresses at a bridal salon in the Plymouth/Canton/Livonia/Novi area? I did read someone had a bad experience at B Ella Bridal in Plymouth (makes me worried since I bought my dress there but it hasn't come in yet :( but they didn't seem to have a large bridesmaid selection either).

My original go to was David's Bridal because they have a nice price range to work with to not make things expensive for the girls but they want to go somewhere else based on their previous experiences.

Thanks!

  • I ordered my dresses through Pearl's Place. The dresses were AA and in local stores were over $200, and at Pearl's we got them for $125.

    I am not a fan of Davids Bridal. I was in a wedding this past October and my BM dress was messed up. They had sewn one of the bust liners in backwards and the dress lining was longer than the actual dress. That is not the only time they have given me problems.

    Have you tried Diane's Dream Brides? They are in Livonia and they are amazing to work with.

  • KONJA in Berkely!!!! It was amazing and had great prices. They have more dresses than you could possibly go through.
  • I would HIGHLY recommend just going to the mall with a couple department stores! I went to Somerset with my girls and we tried a bunch of dresses on at Macy's, Nordstrom, and a couple other stores before settling on a dress from Cache. My girls spent only $100 on their dresses and it looks nice, but not too bridesmaidy that they can't wear it again. Seriously, no matter what dress you get at David's Bridal it still is mass produced and looks like a bridesmaid dress so you never end up wearing it again... I have 5 of those "wear again" dresses that are just sitting in my closet!
  • I got my BM dresses from B Ella. I did not buy my dress there though. I had absolutely no problems ordering through there. We ordered at the beginning of November, they said they will be in at the end of Febuary, and thats when they came. So far the girls that have gone to get them have said they are good. One of my girls feels like she was measured incorrectly because her dress is seriously huge on her and she has not lost a significant amount of weight.

    One thing I havent been thrilled about is that they will not let the BMs keep their dresses at the store longer than a month or they will charge, even if you are going to have alterations there. The majority of my bridesmaids do not live close by, so it is hard for them to get there, so I keep having to go get their dresses for them, it just doesnt make sense since the majority of the girls were going to get alterations there. Also, the BM that needs her dress majorly altered, the people at the store basically told her dont bother to get it altered there since they are going to charge her a fortune...uhh who tells their customers that?

    Hopefully that helps a little bit.
