the cost did and didn't influence my choice.... i would have LOVED my dream dress - but it was $6000  so i went, tried it on, and cried myself to sleep that night. but i did try on whatever i wanted regardless of cost...but i knew deep down i wouldn't go over $2000 - i just couldn't stomach more for a dress i'd wear once. but i knew i had to love it...i refused to get just an "alright" dress to stay in budget i figured i would find what i loved and try to find it cheaper - and if i couldn't find it cheaper then try to find a way to make it work. That's how I am feeling. I looked but didn't try on dresses at David's Bridal because I thought it would be cheaper to just get the dress there. I have poured over their catalogue and out of all the dresses in it, I like 2. Like, not love. That actually is what prompted this post. then keep looking! there are so many options for you out there - don't settle! do you have a "dream dress" ? post a pic of it and maybe we can help you find something more affordable?

Bridal and Beyond in the Toronto area was fantasticThere was a long post before (I think it has been erased because of the server problems) about B & B and how terrible the service and quality was. Personally, it was the worst experience I've had in any bridal shop. I just read this...it was me that started the post and YES I think the majority of us agreed that Bridal and Beyond was TERRIBLE. Good Luck to anyone going there. I personally haven't been there, but I have heard negative feedback about them. Most of the negative feedback I've heard is about the attitudes of the employees. agreed! i had a horrific time over the phone with them - they were rude, put me on hold forever, etc... i found the location hard to find and they were so condescending over the phone to me. so i really wasn't looking forward to my visit there. but i was already on my way there so i went. the girl helping me with my dresses was OUTSTANDING. she totally changed my perception. so i went there with my bridesmaids and the girl helping us that day sucked ballocks. i think that's why there's such different reviews of this place....it all depends on who you get! and the prick on the phone definately needs to be fired

Yes the cost definitely influenced the dress!! I told the girl that I didn't want to spend over $500, but realistically I knew that it may be hard to find a dress for less than that. She said "look on this rack and that one and don't dare go downstairs!" (downstairs was all the $1000+ dresses). The most expensive dress I tried on was $750, but I ended up with a dress that cost $395. And I love it!! I do not feel like I settled for an alright dress b/c of cost!!
