I found my wedding dress at a local store and then decided to see if I could find it at a better price. After looking I found it at about 7 online shops and four of them had a better deal on the dress with shipping. Has anyone used any of the following online shops? I am nervous about purchasing the dress online due to horror stories, so I am looking to see if anyone on the knot has used any of these sites or heard any reviews of them. In order of the best price: www.wholesaleweddinggowndress.com
www.weddinggownsgalore.com
www.modernbridalshop.com
www.discountbridal.org
Thank you in advance!
Re: Ordering Dress Online
Jaysbridal.net the dress was more expensive then the local shop I found it out.
RK Bridal I am having trouble finding the price of the dress, but did find the dress and e-mailed.
NetBride I have requested a quote on the dress and am waiting to hear back.
Thank you for your help and if anyone else has recomendations or reviews on the original list please let me know.
I should get my dress in a month (16 weeks total) , they are an authorized retailer for all the dresses they sell

While Pearl's Place doesn't have an actual order form online, you just have to call them to get a quote for the dress you want. You don't have to visit their actual store. They've been around a long time and are very reliable. My mom ordered her dress from them and had a great experience.

I could never order a dress online once I found it in a store. I would feel horrible for wasting the sales clerk's time and effort to help me. Then the owner who has to pay for all those dresses for brides to try on and basically use her for a dressing room. Then when you watch the news and see your local economy is suffering because people are buying from out of state. Then the government has to cut program and education funding because of low local revenue.
Then what if something is wrong with the gown...who did you talk to? A person? A computer? I like to be pampered and only another human can do that.
Then, is it a registered store to carry that dress? Go to the designer's website and see if you can ask them if it is. Most likely they are not and they have a disclaimer that says do NOT buy your gown online.
Talk to your local store and see if they can negotiate the price. I'm sure they don't want to lose you as a customer since they have spent so much time and effort helping you.
Thanks in advance!
The dress arrived. It is beautiful!! Just what i ordered and fits like a glove.
Alot of people really knocked this but it worked well for me.

You must be new around here LOL. I've been posting on the Knot since 2002. In all that time, I've literally seen thousands upon thousands of positive reviews for companies like Pearl's Place and Netbride.com. Not a single negative review! Now that's an accomplishment! Brides order from those companies for a reason- because of their stellar reputations. Even the wedding bible Bridal Bargains gives them A ratings. It's fine if you choose not to order online, but not all brides feel the same way.
