this became my unofficial fourth bridal store stop as i passed by this store on my way back to the…read moresubway (after buying my stamens from pattycakes baking supply store) who knew that junction blvd would be a trove of information on planning a wedding?! this store is very friendly considering i barge in here without an appointment and just checked gowns - and their gowns are very moderately priced. they carry mori lee and mon cherie - though their samples are not extensive, im almost certain that this store wont charge me an arm and a leg for alterations and whatnots. you gotta go to the bowels of the store to get to the bridal section though because as soon as you walk in, you will be greeted with a whole slew of special occasion underwear - girdles and other whatnots. they also carry formal shoes. i didnt try on anything yet, but if i find something that i like from the brands they carry, i will most probably buy it from them.

From my first…read moremeeting with them to the text they sent us the morning of the wedding, the whole experience was amazing. I am a short, curvy gal who was having a 50's romantic (think Sinatra) wedding and they embraced every element of that and my not-so-small personality. When I changed my mind and wanted sleeves, they did not blink and created a dress I am still in love with! I cannot recommend this shop enough and hope you will consider them! You will not regret it! FEEL FREE TO CONTCT ME!

A&M Couture in Greenpoint has horrible customer service toward African Americans. I came in looking…read morefor a blue dress for my daughter's Sweet 16. When we first walked in, one of the girls pointed me to the blue dresses and never came back. The next thing I know, she's helping a Spanish family and completely ignored us. Thankfully, another young lady with glasses stepped in and was extremely sweet and helpful. If it wasn't for her, I would've left. I rented the dress that same day and paid $600. The day I came to pick up the dress, the lady behind the counter asked my best friend (who is 36) if she was the one trying on the dress because she "looked too big and old." How disrespectful and unprofessional. Then they gave me a bouquet with missing rhinestones. I didn't make a big deal about it, but I did ask them to note it, and I never once asked for a discount. They were rushing us out of the store and had already zipped the dress before we could fully look at everything. When we asked one of the workers -- the same girl who ignored me the first day -- to unzip the dress so we could compare the tiara and bouquet, she sucked her teeth and said something to her coworker in Spanish. I stayed quiet because I refused to let anyone ruin my daughter's special day. When I returned the dress, they spent forever inspecting the dress, tiara, and bouquet while speaking to each other in Spanish the entire time. Then they claimed there were two holes in the dress and took $40 from my deposit for "alterations" on tulle material that costs almost nothing to fix. I took my remaining $160 and left. I would never recommend this place to African Americans. The environment felt unwelcoming, disrespectful, and discriminatory from beginning to end.

With the rental, it came with the a bouquet, a tiara and the rings for under the dress. You also have the things for 5 days. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and making my daughter's birthday as memorable as it was. Your dresses made her feel and look like a princess.

My best friend discovered they were having a sample sale, and we booked an appointment during a weekend trip to New York. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed. We had the entire shop to ourselves, and Liz, who assisted us, was incredible. She pulled dresses that fit both my style and my budget, made us feel so comfortable, and created such a relaxed, supportive, and fun environment. To top it all off, I found the dress. It was nothing like what I thought I'd choose, but the second Liz finished helping me into it, I had that unmistakable "this is the one" feeling. I returned twice for alterations, and every time, Liz was just as warm, kind, and attentive as during my first visit. She truly made the experience special from start to finish. I can't say enough wonderful things about Best Total Wedding Plaza. They helped me find my dream dress and made the entire process feel joyful, personal, and stress-free. Highly recommend!
