Where did you find your bridesmaid dresses?

I have an appointment at Cezina's in Glenview and was looking for recommendations on other bridal salons or department stores

    My girls each have different style (same color) dresses by Lula Kate that they purchased at Bella Bridesmaid. There are a bunch of Bella boutiques across the country so my two BM's who live in Milwaukee and LA were able to try dresses on at boutiques near them.

    The customer service was awesome and all the girls love their dresses. The dresses are a little pricey ($200+), but as my gift I paid for a portion of each girls' dress.

    Target has an online section. The dresses are inexpensive ($50) and there is a lot of variety. Plus if you order more than one, you can get free shipping and return the other one to the store.

    Alamour in Barrington, they had a great selection and pricing wasn't too bad. The dresses I chose were $150 and they had an anniversary sale come up with an additional 21% off!

    Thanks! Aren't they cute--I wanted to buy one for myself! I really liked the Jenny Yoo dresses too, but the colors they had weren't what I was looking for.

    We did Jcrew too! The dresses are actually dresses the girls can wear again - not "oh they can wear it again" like everyone says. . . but legit wearable. See:

    They store on Michigan Ave. has the dresses to try on in size 8 so you can get an idea of what you need. I really recommend them!

    Definitely!! I wanted to buy a Jenny Yoo dress for the RHD, but then I found out the white were double the price so I didn't.  In the end I didn't even end up wearing white for RHD and I totally should have bought one (we got a group discount plus 10% off for a fashion show I went to). Dangit!  But my RH dress was only $39, so I saved some money there.

    so i actually used david's bridal. i had heard horror stories about them, just like everyone else, but with our bridal party scattered all over the country i felt like it was the best option. i used both david's bridal in san diego and vernon hills and did not have any  issues with either. great customer service from both. also they coordinate with men's warehouse and i was able to have the same exact purple from both david's bridal and men's warehouse so my bridesmaids and groomsmen matched. it was fantastic. if you go to david's bridal, definitely go to vernon hills and make an appointment with molly

    I got dresses by Amsale. They are extremely flattering and come in different styles.
