Amazing experience

Just got home from the Bridal Garden, where I had such a lovely, smooth experience. Gina was wonderful, the selection was extraordinary, and I found the dress of my dreams. Everyone was so friendly -- whole thing was so much easier than I had imagined finding a wedding dress would be! Would recommend Bridal Garden to anyone looking for a designer dress for huge discounts.

Brides looking to share the love!

had just come from an overpriced, overdone, bridal shop which I will not name, but you've probably seen it on TV - and walking into the Bridal Garden was a breath of fresh air. I found tons of great dresses at unbelievably low prices. Yes, I had to do a little work myself (what bride doesn't!), but the dresses were thoughtfully organized and the women working were so sweet. My dress was a steal!! and it's great to know I've made a contribution to a more than deserving cause. It's all about the love, right ladies? that's what Bridal Garden is circulating & thank you for all you do!"

Satisfy your style and your conscious

When I first entered Bridal Gardens I was a bit overwhelmed. There were hundres of dresses hanging in plastic bags and several brides trying them on. Gina welcomed me, showed me around and told me to take my time and feel free to try on as many dresses as I pleased. I selected several and had to wait around 10 minutes for a dressing room. It took me a while to hit my stride. After I started trying on dresses the staff was quite helpful, I was there alone and had nobody to help zip, snap and button the backs. Without asking they swooped in and rescued me from exposing more that I had intended. I tried on a few dresses and was becoming despondant because nothing seemed to work. Then I told Gina what I was really looking for, minutes later she arrived with a gorgeous gown in my size which fit perfectly and looked amazing. I was set! This all took no longer than an hour! After purchasing my gown she gave me referrals for shoes and tailoring. All-in-all a very satisfying experience and one that will help an important charity!

My mom and I just got home from buying my wedding dress at the Bridal Garden- it was a wonderful day. Gina is amazing- so helpful and sweet. She gives her honest opinion in a very kind way too! If you are a bride in the tri-state area, you MUST visit the Bridal Garden!

great place to find a couture dress for pennies!

My mom, sister and I had a wonderful experience. The service, although not one-on-one, was exceptional. Having been to other designer dress shops, such as Mark Ingram, you should be prepared to pick out your own dresses rather than have someone bring them to you. However, that is a small price to pay for the designer gowns and the helpful friendly service. I found the most amazing Christina Wu dress, so unique, so beautiful for $600! I would definitely recommend this place to any bride...

Plus Size Brides

This place you have to go too. I am a plus size bride and I didn't expect for them to have anything in my size and thought I would go just in case. When I went I was surpised on the selection of dresses to choose from and they were not ugly. Which is a problem for Plus Size women and there had many designers also. I did not buy my dress from Bridal Garden but I would recommend all brides to go. Sana the sales person that helped me was very nice and helpful, she gave many suggestions on the dresses I tried on and there was no pressure to buy. I plan on donating my dress after my wedding. Happy shopping brides.

Not to be missed!

I went to the Bridal Garden twice before buying a gown there, but I've been to enough bridal stores to know how truly terrific and unique this place is! First - the service is top notch. It was very busy while I was there, but the ladies were still helpful, good natured, and had kind suggestions for everyone. I got the feeling that they really did want me to find the dress of my dreams, one that I felt beautiful in, but at the same time, there's no pressure to hurry up or buy now. Next - I was really impressed with the selection and quality of the dresses. I've been to other sample sales, and the discounted prices didn't begin to make up for filthy hems and ripped seams. The Bridal Garden's dresses are in great condition. They have range of sizes and so many lovely things to choose from. One recommendation - make an early appointment! It was wonderful to have the whole place to ourselves for a short while.

Love this place!

I loved this place! I got a beautiful Vera Wang dress for a fraction of the price. I found the staff extremely helpful and accomodating. All of the dresses were great quality and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I have been to other bridal salons that felt snobby and pushy. Here I felt like the customers as well as the the staff were fun and knowledgable. I would highly recommend this site if you were looking for a way to afford a designer price and were open to many possibilities.

Amazing!

I had an amazing experience at the Bridal Garden, Gina was very helpful and provided me addresses for alterations, as well as advice. The dress was initially at $1400, but it needed alterations. I had an additional rebate and paid $800. The selection of dresses is not huge but it is definitely possible to find the right one. And what a price! And it goes to charity. I highly recommend it. Don't read the bad review posted 1 month ago, picky shoppers who expect champagne while they are trying on dresses should go somewhere else, and accept paying for this kind of service.

A Great Shopping Experience

At the Bridal Garden I found a beautiful dress for $350- no muss, no fuss! Sana was very helpful, suggesting alteration possibilities and giving advice. This is not the place to go if you are a high-maintenance shopper; you are pointed in the right direction and on your own from there- they don't have shoes, corsets, or anyone helping you into a dress. It creates a nice camaraderie among shoppers- several brides and mothers helped me make my decision. I liked being able to browse without a salesperson breathing down my neck, and the mirror-covered dressing rooms made it easier and quicker to judge each gown. I am a size 12 and found plenty of gowns in my size or larger (not always true at other stores). I was in and out of there in less than an hour, with a gown, veil and list of suggested tailors in hand. And best of all, it goes to charity!! A pleasure all around.
