David's Bridal was fairly average for our bridesmaid dress needs. While our consultant was helpful, in general she was just too busy, and had a hard time balancing our needs with the needs of all of the brides in the store. They have a number of nice, affordable dresses, which is really the best that you can hope for out of a bridal dress shop. That said, their cataloging process is not great - three of the five dresses were tied to me (the bride), and therefore I was the only one that received any kind of notification when the dresses arrived. Two others were not tied to the account at all.
In the positives, David's Bridal does do color matching with Men's Wearhouse tuxedo, which was very helpful for us with that process. They were also quite prompt with ordering the dresses, and offered a nice discount on the dresses. I would recommend David's Bridal to any bride who is looking for an affordable dress for her bridesmaids.

I went to Wolsfelt's Victorian Bridal for my wedding dress, and had an absolutely fantastic experience there. The staff is extraordinarily helpful, and paired me with one single bridal consultant, who helped me throughout (her name is Ginny - if you decide to use Wolsfelt's, I recommend her without hesitation). She was nothing but supportive, and did an excellent job discerning my taste and price range - there was no pressure to spend additional money outside of our budget.
The shop has a great selection of gorgeous dresses that fit and flatter all body types, and all of the bridal consultants are incredibly knowledgeable. They also have bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride dresses, and a number of accessories, which they catalog very well for your future reference. I would undoubtedly recommend this store to anyone in the greater Chicagoland area who is looking for a fantastic dress.
I ordered a vintage rhinestone and pearl necklace from Bel Canto Bridal Designs earlier this month for my wedding in October. I was looking for a high quality vintage piece at a reasonable price, and did I ever find it! The necklace is even more beautiful in person than it was in pictures, and Mari was very easy to work with; she shipped the necklace very promptly, and was nothing but professional throughout the process. I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future if the need should arise.
