| - Go to Andrea!! She's the best!!
If you're browsing and trying to find a wedding dress and have no idea where to start; start at David's Bridal and then make sure to go here lol. I say this because you will appreciate the service and detail the people here at Alfred Angelo's will go through to try to find you a dress. David's Bridal is a good starting point to look at & get ideas, but for a higher quality and patience, this is the place.
If you can try to make an appointment, then make sure you make one with Andrea. From the start she's very detailed, asks a lot of friendly questions from sizing, to what you like, to what you don't like, materials, styles, silhouettes is a list of things she asks. The more open-minded you are the more chance these stylists here have of finding something you never expected.
Andrea was so patient because I was too open-minded and very slowly narrowed it down to the wedding dress I ended up purchasing. She has good knowledge of all the dresses in the store, it's like the whole inventory is in her head. Overall the whole staff here is outgoing, friendly and helpful. Til the very end, with fittings, Andrea was always there to help, and very personal.
The only thing I have to put out as a warning is that if you are definitely on a budget and on a time crunch; (4-5 months) this place might not be for you. It is a bit higher end type of gowns, and you have to take into consideration that, because they are manufactured and not hand tailored to your body, most of the times there's hemming, adjusting, letting out/in and personal adjustments that have to be made after your gown arrives. (Looks like an average gown takes 3-5 months to arrive depending on which one it is). That means your dress can cost anywhere from $600 to $1100 on average, plus tax, plus alterations afterwards. But I am a firm believer in paying for quality and service.
Definitely one place to check out on your gown adventures!
P.S. I also got my bridesmaid dresses from here, they're beautiful. And you get a discount off of them if you buy your wedding dress here. (Order took about 3 months or so for them to come in)
Go to Andrea!!!!
