I went yesterday to go look at wedding dresses. The first place I went to was Bridal Budget Shop.
www.budgetbridalshop.com6820 4th St NWAlbuquerque, NM 87107-6165(505) 342-9333They were fabulous. I would give them an A+. The experience was great. They don't do appointments, which was actually nice because I had the whole shop to myself to try on anything I wanted. They will let you try on as many dresses as you want. You can stay as long as you want. They are willing to work with any budget. The owner, her sister, and the one sales person are all so nice and have great suggestions. They have vintage gowns. I was surprised at the amount of styles they have for you to try on, more than I would have guessed. I found the perfect dress, its all lace, strapless. I felt wonderful wearing it.I also went to Davids Bridal today in Albuquerque. I would give them a B. They were not as friendly. You can only try on five dresses per appointment. It can get rushed if you are still there when the next appointment comes in. The sales person who had me did not talk to me at all about what I was looking for, no suggestions. She just asked what I wanted to look at and that was it. The main plus to DBs is the wide range of dresses. It was also nice that they have shoes and undergarments for you to try the dresses on with.I'm just so happy I was able to find a dress so quickly.
