I'm sort of flabbergasted by all the negative reviews here. I first went to Amanda's Bridal on a friend's recommendation (she bought her wedding gown there). We were helped immediately, and I really liked my consultant, Mallory. After about 5 dresses of what I came in looking for, Mallory suggested I try on something a bit different than my initial requirements. And man - she was spot on, I fell in love! I didn't feel like I could buy the 6th dress I tried on, so I went to a David's Bridal a week later. I did not like any of their selection, the service was meh, and it was a bit chaotic and cramped. I went back to Amanda's and bought the dress I fell in love with. They worked with me to get the custom alterations I wanted (no train) and get it within my limited time frame. And still the price was a great deal compared to a lot of bridal salons in the area. My alterations appointments went smoothly, and the dress fit me perfectly. I highly recommend Amanda's Bridal. The gowns are up to $1200, which works with many a (normal) bride's budget. And they have been very friendly. I had a bridezilla moment when I didn't know what heigh of heel to get, and several people worked with me over the phone to recommend the proper hem length for me (I was thinking of wearing flats when my feet got tired). Anyway, Amanda's Bridal is great!
