Bad, (See elle2weds post), but the last trip was awesome and amazing. The girl who help me and my mom was great! She put the dresses on me, laced and zipped them up, carried the train and made helpful comments. Needless to say, I bought the dress from there :). If you are in Las Vegas, Celebrations Bridal on Jones Blvd is the place to go!

It was OK, the shop had beautiful dresses, but were very disinterested in me as a person and more for what I could buy from them. My lady was also not extremely friendly or helpful. The last shop I tried was the most fun I have had! The lady was so helpful and nice!

i went to a tiny shop by my house, i think they only carried like 3 designers so i just tried on 3 with my mom and my baby sister.  it was pretty crazy, the first dress i tried on wasnt a winner but it made everything feel so REAL!  i tried another store and they were horrible, they were rude to my mom and would only talk to me. so i tried on 3 dresses there, they kicked us out because we went over an hr (even though they didnt have anyone else there).  then i went to Amanda's-the furthest store away from me, but WAY worth the drive.  they ALL were so nice and helpful.  I go back on sat for my last fitting and i'm so excited just to see everyone! lol and get into my dress again :)

Mine was kind of funny lol My mom, Dad & I went "Amandas bridal" with the agenda of finding wedding colors to match the idea in my head for the bridesmaids...Well, somehow i got distracted by the hanging wedding dresses & I started looking throught them & I saw this beautiful strapless dress with sparkles, beading & a colored sash...And my mom told me to try it on. So I did and I immidiately fell in love with it & I knew that this was THE dress! I didn't need to look any further.
So i put a deposit on the dress and have been making payments since it's a little more than i was orginally going to pay for a dress, but that's ok. I LOVE IT!

I wasn't even shopping, me and my mom just popped in the store about 10 minutes before closing and they INSISTED (nicely of course) that I find something and try it on. It was fun, they got me in a HUGE dress that must have weighed 50lbs they even laced the corset back for the full slimming effect! They pulled my hair up and put on a tiara and a veil. It was wonderful! They stayed open an extra 45 mins just for me! The dress wasn't something I would actually wear and they knew they weren't going to get the sale but they let me play dress up which was fun. I haven't been dress shopping since tho. Maybe next month!

my first one was awful. I went into a store that I'd been referred to by a friend of mine and it definitely wasn't what i was expecting. the staff were rude and didn't pay the slightest bit of attention to me. I got up and left after about 15 minutes of waiting for an attendant to stop chatting with her friends and help me. Then I went to another store later in the week with my MOH- Its a more upscale, expensive type boutique and while I didn't *NEED* an appointment with them, I went ahead and made one anyway. We spent about 4 hours in there and I tried on probably 20 dresses. They offered us drinks and when my MOH jokingly said she'd like champagne they said they didnt have any of that, but they had some sparkling rose... so we had a glass of that each. lol. Unfortunately all the dresses were very, very far out of my budget!
