| I tried on Maggies and cried when I saw the price tag. Couldn't rationalize that much money for something I would wear once. So, I looked for a 'feel good' option. Ended up at 'The Bride's Project', found a pretty dress, bought it and went home. It was $500, came with a veil, and needed no alterations. Have to go with your gut but like other girls on here, I'm pretty strict about watching where dollars were spent for the wedding.

I didn't really look at prices before trying on dresses and I guess I got lucky because the dress I loved was less then I thought I was going to spend!

The sales girl was a huge help, she asked right from the start what I didn't want to go over, and she let me know as I picked through the dresses. I definely kept it in mind while shopping, I didn't look at anything over because I knew I was not going to spend more.

I went to Beckers Bridal and The dressing room in Toronto and tried on a bunch some were in my range and others were not. I didnt end up liking any of them, but decided the next place I look I will ony try on dresses in my budget.
Likely when I went to Davids Bridal and everything was $1200 and under plus $200 off
I bought my PERFECT dress, bra thing, and slip for $900 CDN.

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.

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.
