BM w/ Pic YES or NO

Ok SO I have this idea in my head about my wedding (like a tiffany theme)...so I found this dress by watters & watters its duipioni(sp) silk .... I would get it in Adriatic with a white ribbon....
Here is my problem in NY the pick up dress is $360.00 but if I order them from Pearls Place in LA I can get them for only $284.00 (no tax and only 12.00 shipping for all 10 dresses)
I like the first dress in aqua but I don't know price yet...
WHAT DO I DO?

BTW I have been looking and the tiffany blue color by some designers looks to me toooooo promish......


OK so my imagecolor stinks but there is the idea!

Re: BM w/ Pic YES or NO

Your bridesmaids have a lot of expenses they will incur aside from the dres so I'd try to find something a little less expensive otherwise they will compensate for the high expense in other areas...such as dare I say "gifts"

Ahhh Tiffany Blue my favorite color...and also my color scheme for my wedding can't wait to see the dress!

Re: BM w/ Pic YES or NO

Honestly, I'm sure you can find cheaper versions of either dres. David's bridal I think carries something similar to the one on the right and I'm sure their prices are a lot less.

Re: BM w/ Pic YES or NO

i think that is to much money to ask...

If you really love the dress, you can ask your girls or maybe say to them,... I know the dress is expensive, I would rather you girls wear this dress rather then give me a gift...

That way you kind of take some of the expense a way from them..

FH was in a wedding last year the tuxs were 160.00, but the weddiing was in PHL. the hotel was 225/night... It came out to $610 not including gas and tolls to get there.. they told us we know driving here and the hotel and everything is alot of money, we really don't expect a gift...

We still gave them $200.00 but it was the fact that they told us we didn't have to... it made us realize that they understand the wedding is cheap for us either...

Re: BM w/ Pic YES or NO

Ok cease and desist! I have the watters gown and got it $170.00!!! Go to RK bridal in the city. They match and lower price if you can find a cheaper price. what i did was went to houseofbrides.com and priinted out the price, then took it to RK bridal and they lowered it another 5%. They ship anywhere as well.

Re: BM w/ Pic YES or NO

I would check into other designers of that style dress b/c they were the 1st to come out with it so they are the most expensive......My MOH is using it as her BM dress I forget the designer but it was $116~~

Re: BM w/ Pic YES or NO

That's def. too expensive. Last wedding I was in the dresses were only $135, but after alterations, shoes, dying the shoes, and undergarments the total was over $200. You have to make sure to take all those details into consideration as well.
