I found bridemaids dresses that I want, but at the store they are over 200. I found them online for 135-150 range. Has anyone used a reliable online company to order them that you would recommend?  Thanks so much!

Also my fiance haas groomsmen that live all over. Anyone recommend a tux place (maybe a chain that we could use?)

    Whatever you do for the tuxs do not use Mens Warehouse they are terrible.  I would suggest picking a store local to you that has a good rep and just have the out of state guys call in their measurements.  I am not sure where you are located but my friend used Cosie (sp?) in Westfield the tuxs were $135 which I thought was pretty good.  My FI usually spent about $185 for the other weddings he has been in.

    Our BM dresses were ordered from AnnTaylor.com and everything worked out fine.

    If you are talking about actual "bridesmaid dresses" from salons, reputable wholesale websites are pearlsplace.com, netbride.com and rkbridal.com.

    We used a local shop for tuxes since all our guys were local. Men's Wearhouse depends on the location, so maybe ask for recommendations for your particular area. And have the guys try on everything when the pick it up, before they leave the store (MH said there were a few issues when the guys picked up the tuxes for our wedding, but the shop straightened it out before they left).

    I used pearls place for my wedding gown and they were great. They delivered my dress ricght on time and it was half of what the store wanted.

    I have also heard of others using Pearl's Place with no problems. They get the dresses on time and are basically half price of what stores charge.

     I have actually heard this from many people. Mens Warehouse has a bad rep out there.

    Can you tell me what happened with Men's Warehouse?  We are probably using them because we have groomsmen from all over the NY/NJ area (and Texas).  I wasn't impressed with their selection...

    In regards to Men's Warehouse, I have never had any experience with them personally. With that being said I've had many people tell me horrid stories, suits getting lost, wrong sizes etc.

    Mens Warehouse -- 6 of the 8 guys in my wedding party had problems with their tuxes. The wrong sizes came and the wrong shirts. It seemed like MW could really care less. They were like - just come back tomorrow -- well we hadn't planned on having to go back!! My dad was very disappointed -- and he is not one to go on about bad service. It was annoying and it just seemed like they did not care. One of my groomsmen never got the right shirt.
