Bridal Shop Recommendations

I'm in Boston, but will travel south or north. Any recommendations for good selection and low prices?

    Alexandra's Boutique Fall River ask for Carol and tell her Teresa said hello.

    She is the best!  Worth the travel.

    I'd recommend a few places that I shopped.  I was looking for a dress under $1000 and these shops had a nice selection.  I bought mine at Camilla's:

    Camilla's Bridal, Arlington, MA
    Marry & Tux, Nashua, NH
    Precious Memories, Medford, MA

    I also liked David's Bridal in Natick, but I guess they get mixed reviews.

    Allegria in Belmont - great people!  Mt twin and I both got our gowns there, and they had some really beautiful designer samples for a great price. :)

    This place is in Worcester, worth the 45 minute drive. Awesome people and they sell the dresses cheap, these are brand new dresses that they order you (i thought they were going to be samples or something).

    I LOVE my dress and it was 1300 total.

    I got my dress at Vows. There was no pressure, I could try on as many dresses as I wanted, and the staff was really sweet.

    La Reine in Waltham
    Camilla's in Arlington
    Allegria in Belmont
    Country weddings in Hingham
    Vows in Watertown

    there are so many! what is your price range, that is an important factor, you don't want to go to a salon that carries dresses out of your price range!

    I just had a great experience at Bride's Choice in Waltham - funny, because I had read a bunch of bad reviews but after my experience there, I feel compelled to chime in and say how happy I have been (so far!!).  I thought they had the best selection by far and the only hard part was deciding between so many great ones.  Also, I thought Zee (the owner) was very sweet.  

    I didn't really love Allure Bridal in Westwood - seemed very business like and there was not one dress there that I got excited about.  

    Manhattan Bridal in Waltham was ok - the owner was very nice (I think her name was Patty?) but the selection seemed limited. 

     I am also a bride on a short timetable, ordering a dress now for a Feb wedding...so that was a factor in all the places I visited.  I felt the most confident and had the best experience at Bride's Choice.  Good luck!

    They are owned by David's Bridal and will never go out of biz and leave you hanging.

    I bought mine at Bridal and Gift at Shear Style. In Attleboro.

    They were great with helping me try on the dresses and picking out suggestions. My only qualm was that they didn't stick to my price range so I ended up falling in love (and getting) a dress that was way out of my price range. But it ended up being alright.

    My bridesmaids and I are going there on saturday because they offer a lot of discounts (if you have 6 or more bridesmaids they get 10% off their dresses) as well as a vacation deal that you can get if all of your bridesmaids get their dresses there.

    Very nice little shop.
