BM Dress Shopping

Where are some good places to go shopping for bridesmaids' dresses in the Boston area? I am particularly interested in a store that carries Bill Levkoff designs . Thanks for any suggestions you may have. 

Also, do you need an appt to go look/browse or are walk-ins generally welcome?

Re: BM Dress Shopping

  • Appointments are a needed for most boutiques. I'm not sure about chains like DB or Alfred Angelo.

    Definitely check out the Bill Levkoff website to see what stores in MA carry their dresses.
  • I chose Bill Levkoff dresses. There are a few places in Watertown and newton that carry them.

    I went to a store in Northboro and the dresses would have been $190 there, but we are getting them from netbride.com where we are paying $120-130 each.

  • Like TheSlowskys, I also used netbride.com. My bridesmaids saved $100 each on their Dessy dresses. I definitely recommend using a company like netbride (there are several others like Pearl's Place, RK Bridal, Lee Phillips, etc.)
  • Bridesmaids Galleria in Lynnfield is great.  I recommend making an appointment because it's such a small building, but not sure if they are required.  I ordered bridesmaids dresses from her for 2 other weddings that I was a part of and my bridesmaids just ordered their dresses there.  Prices are cheaper than other salons I've been to.  She has a large selection of Bill Levkoff!  :)

  • Thanks for all the suggestions! I was planning on ordering my dresses online too but thanks for sharing that tip.

  • I went to Cristina's in Andover - great selection but AWFUL service - no one helped us at all (and I made an appointment in advance!) it was very poorly run. But they had all Bill Levkoff & many others.
  • I would say if you *can* make an appointment wherever you decide to look, you should --Even David's Bridal or Alfred Angelo.  Often times the salons are full or a bit chaotic...if you have an appointment then *hopefully* you have someone who is dedicated to you and our party to help find the perfect BM dress.  Good Luck!

  • My BM's all live in different states, so we emailed ideas back and forth before settling on a Vera Wang for David's Bridal dress.  Then they all just found the closest DB to them in their state and ordered. 

    Good Luck with you dresses.  I think Flair on Newbury St. does Bill Levikoff if I remember from my research.
