Searching through them all online is a good way to find out what the choices are, before taking a trip to the individual store and trying them on. Naturally you can buy them online, but it is always a good idea for the bride to try it on in person.

Boutique stores are the next option in the price ladder. They range from reasonably priced to high end, but they do offer a deluxe and custom bridal experience. Expect a glass of prosecco and even a few cake tasters while you peruse the selections. Boutique stores work off recommendations and word of mouth, so ask around and find the best one for you.
