House of Brides

I know there was a post on here about online places to buy a dress, but I can't find it. My friend wants to buy her dress through house of brides, but she wants to know if anyone has used them before. Any feedback would be great.

 

Thank you!

That would be great. Thank you.

i did - bought a Dessy BM dress for a wedding i was in. it was cheaper than everywhere else and it came very fast!

i nearly bought a dress at HOB based on a recommendation from a close friend who bought her gown there in 2006. but then i found my dream dress somewhere else and HOB didnt carry the one i really wanted. great service in store, but i cant vouch for the website. one word of advice my friend gave me which worked when i was negotiating price on a gown --- they will go high, so if you offer low, they will counter in the middle.

Hey there, just FYI, HOB quoted me a higher price for my Marisa gown than Netbride did and would not honor their 5% less guarantee for it. I ended up ordering it from Netbride and the service & product was fantastic! I got the dress for $800 less than the dress shop, $100 less than HOB, AND it came a month earlier than expected!!

I got my BM dres though here. If you search, there's always a 10% off coupon online.

I will tell my friend to look at netbride as well, it just depends on if they have her dress or not. I am not sure if she looked around or just found HOB and wants to go with them.

 

Anyone else use them or know about them?

A lot of Australian brides order their dresses from HOB as it is usually a lot cheaper. I have heard good feedback and they make them with plenty of material so you can take in or take out if you need to. Good luck
