I had a fantastic experience at the Bridal Garden. I had fallen in love with a dress I saw at Saks in NY at a trunk show and the Bridal Garden was able to track it down for me and work VERY generously with me on the price (plus avoiding NY sales tax!). They have a beautiful selection and a great sales team (Danielle and Marry Ellen are the best!). For those who commented that the sales staff was ""snotty"", I sincerely disagree. I never saw anyone be rude to a customer any of the times I went there, and I was there all the time for about two months. Which leads me to the one problem. Alterations. It was nothing short of a nightmare. Salvaged only by the sales team intervening and at sometimes coddling the seamstress and at other times demanding that the seamstress do her job. Don't be scared off from going to the Bridal Garden by the bad reviews, it really is a wonderful store but do take your dress elsewhere to be altered until they replace their current seamstress (Spring of 2010).
