As Jordi just reminded Andee, Katie & I "Why can't we just do Kleinfeld's in NYC and be on TV..I mean we did fly out to California for your PROM dress"...
True. BUT...Can anyone recommend great bridal shops in the Philadelphia area / Main Line?

I looked a bunch of places -- I can barely remember the names of all the places, but I remember Ann Bailey's Bridal in Fountainville, PA, Bijou Bridal in Ardmore, PA and Coronet Bridal in Feasterville, PA. Coronet is kind of random and does not look impressive from the outside (or inside, either). BUT, they have a great selection of dresses, so don't let that deter you. There will be overlap in manufacturer's from shop to shop but the fancier boutiques will charge you more, so keep that in mind. Not sure if that's a factor for you or not. Coronet's kind of overstock their racks, though, because from what I remember, there were so many dresses I could barely pull them out from the rack. They were my last stop, when I was completely frustrated about not being able to find a unique dress, and I randomly found my dress there! It was several thousand dollars, but I stole the dress name/# off the tag and bought it elsewhere for a lot less. I ultimately ordered my dress through One Stop Wedding Shoppe in Horsham, PA. They don't carry dresses, so you need to know your size, manufacturer, and dress name/#. I'm also not sure if they still order dresses or not since this was almost 4 years ago, but it's worth asking if you know exactly what you want -- could save some money and spend it on other things for the wedding! If you're looking for more of a Kleinfeld's experience, I think Bijou might be a good start. Happy hunting! http://www.bijoubridal.com/location/pennsylvania
