I got my gown at Champagne Taste after learning that my first choice dress had been worn by another bride I'm friends with. Not that it's a terrible thing, I just really wanted something that really felt like my own. I stopped into Champagne Ta...ste, and picked out a good number of gowns that I liked the look of and that were within my price range. I settled on one that still had the tag on it but was marked down considerably from its original price. It looked very similar to the one I had picked out at the other store. The service was much better other places I went, and honestly the lady helping me out was pretty pushy, but the bottom line is that they had a gown that I loved for a great price. If you're on a budget, I'd recommend going to a proper bridal store to get the experience of red carpet treatment, but then stop by Champagne Taste to see what you can find. It was well worth it in my case.
