Contrary to what the website claims, Bridaltown is NOT worth the drive. This was my first appointment to try on wedding gowns and Bridaltown looked fablulous on the Website. From the outside it is rundown and small (not this huge sparkling place with a pond, fountain, gazebo and a huge parking like the picture on the website) Not wanting to judge from it's exterior, and because we had driven 40 minutes, I went in for my appointment. There was not a multitude of dresses as I had expected. In total I tried on 5 dresses, only one of which was even remotely similar to what I was looking for. We weren't allowed to take pictures (they said it was due to copyright laws - in retrospect they probably don't want actual pictures of the place getting out in public anywhere as the handful of dresses and shabby atmosphere don't match the picture they paint on their website) The consultant was initially pleasant but not especially accomodating or helpful. She did not offer me a veil or shoes to help complete the look. She clearly was interested in making the sale and not interested in whether I loved the dress. Because I was looking for a simple dress I requested to see the bridemaids gowns. The consultant did not offer me any assistance in this area, rather she stood there and stared at me as she was clearly not interested in making a sale on a bridesmaids dress. In general my experience was not terrible it was just a major disappointment. The place was nothing like it is advertised on line and the staff was not very personable. My suggestion is that if you want to feel special and have your consultant actually show an interest in you - go somewhere else, where they listen patiently to you, work with you on what you specifically want, where they know their inventory and can make suggestions of dresses and where they actually offer you shoes and a veil to put on. With gas prices being the way they are Bridal town is especially not worth the drive.
Pros: no crowds
Cons: no fun
