I am looking for my wedding dress and would like to know what places people would reccommend in Portland for finding a dress on a $1,000 budget? I would like to go to smaller boutiques instead of large stores or chain stores but am worried smaller places wont have much in my price range. I have all ready gone to magnifique boutique in sellwood and had a great experience but dont know if I want to buy my fav dress there before looking atleast one more place. suggestions??
Re: portland bridal shops and prices
I been to numerous appointments at Bridal Exclusives, and I will say if you want the full experience and/or you have not tried any dresses on yet, Bridal Exclusives is awesome. They have you try on a dress of every style so that you have a good idea of what each will look like on you, then you can narrow it down from there. If you already have a good idea of the style of dress that you want, you might find that kind of appointment tiresome.
I also have been to Charlotte's and Ania. I liked the Charlotte's experience better than that of Ania. Charlottes I thought was weird that you don't pick any dresses out yourself, you tell the consultant what you like and what you're looking for, and they pick them. And at Ania, I didn't feel like the consultant listened to my friend's price point nor her dress preferences.
We'll end up hand in hand
