Thank you for all of your wonderful suggestions for bridal shops. Unfortunately, most of them weren't open on Sunday, or were already booked. So I went to Bonaventure Bridals in Garden City. What a wonderful place. They had really nice gowns, were not pushy, were reasonably priced, and I found two gowns that I'm in love with. That's my problem. I know I still have plenty of time to shop around and get more ideas, but what do you do when you fall in love with two completely different gowns that both look good, and your own mother doesn't know which one is better? One is a "traditional" bridal gown, and the other is more of an antique-y, elegant look. AHHHHHH! I thought it would take months to find the perfect dress, but instead I found two at the first shop I went to. I think this is worse!
It is located 1385 Broadway, I do not know how you can get a directory of all of the shops!

Dress Shopping
I only went to the one shop so far. I'm thinking that since I am so torn between two dresses, that I'll continue to look and hopefully find something that blows the other two away. That will completely end my dilemma.
I highly recommend Bonaventure. I bought my dress there, because I liked the intimate atmosphere, and every one was so helpful. I went there first, and then to about 5 other stores. I ended up back at Bonaventure because I got the best feeling from them.
Looking for dresses can drive you insane! I also had to decide between a traditional wedding dress with lace, and a modern, summery and elegant dress. I kept wishing I could buy all 5 dresses I fell in love with, and change every hour. But at some point you just decide, and then go with that look. Good luck!
