I finally bought my dress today, this was the one thing I was stressing about getting done since the wedding is in about 8 months! One of my bridesmaids told me to try and negotiate the price because when she was buying her dress, she was able to find it cheaper elsewhere and the two bridal salons were competing with each other to make the sale. When I went in today, I was ready to pay full price but thought I'd give it a try. I offered to pay it in full now, if they gave it to me $85 less, before tax. They had to approve with the owner, but without any issues they agreed! Whoo hoo!
