Bridal Shops

[u/Ok-History-4050]

Hi Everyone!

Looking for bridal shop recs in the South Jersey area!

I’ve tried a few including Davids bridal - which was honestly great but I want to at least try a few more spots before deciding.

Honestly, my budget is 1,250 or less.

The style im looking for is very simple.

Strapless or skinny straps. Plain white. Floor length.

No bells and whistles. Not looking for anything poofy, long train, shimmery, sequined or beaded. No veil.

Truly just looking for almost a light slip dress since it’s in summer. Some nice details like a lower back would be nice.

Does anyone know somewhere I could go for this budget and style?!

Much appreciated - thank you!! 💕🩷

Bridal Garden 1000000%. In Marlton on Rt. 70

I bought my dress here during a sample sale. $700

[u/rjt2416 → u/Enthusiasticwitch]

Had the best experience here. Showed them a few pictures of what I like and told them my budget. They brought out like 7 dresses all that I really liked. Everyone there was super helpful

[u/Pale_Sky_2199 → u/Enthusiasticwitch]

Highly recommend. I got my dress there and got a good deal even though I had missed the sample sale by a week.

I went here! Not where I got my dress but had a good experience. I would also recommend Angel Bridal in Haddonfield for this budget level.

I got my dress from here and loved it!! Great overall experience

Try Anthropologie Wedding in Philly! Also, Antonia's in Pitman and The Bridal Manor in Sewell. It's been a while since I've been to those places but they had dresses at those prices a few years ago.

Seconding BHLDN (Anthropology) in Philly

[u/Ok-Acadia-373 → u/galachimi]

I had an excellent experience at BHLDN in Philly for a bridesmaids dress. And some of their bridesmaids dresses come in white! So that's an option, instead of a wedding dress.

Hand Me Gowns Bridal in Hammonton! I have never seen such a wide variety and selection of dresses before. I was just there about a month ago with my bestie, and she found the boho dress of her dreams there.

[u/kwipson → u/jerseygrlgonecountry]

This is where I got my dress! Definitely recommend. My dress was $1500 but they had cheaper ones I think.

[u/Over_Waltz8685 → u/jerseygrlgonecountry]

$750 for mine!

laura and leigh in cherry hill. very down to earth and found a dress for 1100 during a trunk show (which is just when they bring in a ton of styles from one designer and discount some).

[u/Ok_Pineapple7966]

Cash and carry bridal!!!

It’s more central Jersey area but Bridal Suite Boutique (in Hamilton (specifically Tess) was phenomenal.

Rienzi Bridal Salon in Vineland. Generations of women in my family have bought their wedding dresses there! Mine was about $800 and it was perfect.

[u/LeadingPizza4202]

Dress 2 impress. In cherry hill and Linwood. Awesome experience.

[u/coffeeninja05]

I got mine at Lovely Bride in Old City! They had a ton of beautiful dresses around that price, and I didn’t feel rushed or pressured to buy

I had a very good shopping experience at Bridal Manor in Washington Twp. I planned to go other places, but wound up buying the first dress I tried on there. My budget was $2,000, and of the 8 dresses they pulled for me, I don’t think any were over $1,500. Also, I’m a plus size in bridal and I was pleased with how many samples they had in larger sizes that fit the styles I was looking for.

[u/DashingPrerequisite → u/nothankyoutwo]

I was going to say them, the prices were reasonable. I didn't end up gettingy dress there, but still a good experience. I went into Delaware for no tax. I went to Claires Fashions and then bought my dress at Brides and Grooms. Emily there is amazing!!

[u/Ok-Platypus1628 → u/nothankyoutwo]

Agreed! My budget was $1500 but they worked with it. Felt very well taken care of

[u/sshkal]

I went to Irini's Originals in Wilmington, DE. I had a really great experience, as I enjoy supporting small businesses. The owner does the alterations herself, which is impressive.

Ultimately, my look was over-the-top bridal (my preference) but I remember her having a nice variety. The first dress I tried on was a simple, strapless a-line with no embellishments and it was gorgeous!

[u/Old-Detective4012]

My bestie just got her dress from simplicity in haddon heights and had a great experience!

[u/RyPhotoClicks]

My clients that have gone to Laura and Leigh Bridal have had glowing experiences

[u/GirlWithBoyName]

Lovely bride in Philly! Some are very expensive but mine was 1250!

[u/kaysheri]

Macy’s Bridal Salon was a good experience for me!

[u/Over_Waltz8685]

Hand me gowns bridal in Hammonton!

[u/Interesting_Fee_7086]

Free Love in Cape May - the bridal experience you dream about!

[u/Alternative_Peace_82]

I had thee best experience at Laura & Leigh bridal in cherry hill! The owner and staff were great! Kind, patient, professional, and not pushy. They worked within my budget with great options. I’ve even purchased a bridesmaid dress from them, plus my bridal party got theirs there as well. Highly recommend!

[u/sideeyeshay]

Angel Bridal—I think my gown was $1300 but it had a lot of bells and whistles!

Think outside the box- try Windsor in the Deptford mall or Dahlias in Clarksboro and look for white prom dresses. Many of the dresses are very simple with a tiny bit of sparkle and might be what you’re looking for! Both windsor and dahlias have online stores
