Hi everyone! I’m starting bridal shopping in Manhattan and need a reality check.

I’m obsessed with structured deep basque waists, dramatic corsetry, and heavy romantic 3D floral lace. I originally posted for an $8k budget, but I’d really love to stay under $6k max…. It seems like all dresses I love start at $6k 😱

For anyone who has shopped this silhouette in the city:
• Can I realistically find this high-drama look under $6k here?!?
• Which NYC salons or showrooms have the best sample inventory or alternative lines for this exact aesthetic?

Thank you!😊 💍

Hi everyone! NYC bride here. I am completely obsessed with the romantic, high-drama aesthetic of designers like Netta BenShabu and Lee Petra Grebenau**—specifically deep basque-waist corsets, structural ballgowns, and heavy 3D lace.**

My hard budget cap is $10,000**. I am open to checking out lines that nail this exact look, even if they aren't explicitly Israeli brands. I actually noticed a local store, Jaxon James, liked LPG's post, so I'm hoping to check them out.**
I already have appointments booked at Designer Loft and The White Gown**.**

Where else should I be looking in Manhattan for this specific structured, antique-romantic silhouette under $10k? Thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m currently planning out my bridal shopping weekend in NYC and could use some help narrowing down my map.

I am chasing a very specific aesthetic: ultra-structured basque waists, dramatic corsetry, and heavy, antique-feeling dimensional lace. My absolute dream designers are Netta BenShabu and Lee Petra Grebenau. I noticed that Jaxon James liked LPG's recent post, so they are definitely on my radar.

My hard budget cap is $8k. HONESTLY I would ideally like to stay around $6k… I’m looking for showrooms that carry these specific designers or alternative lines that mimic that heavy, romantic drama within my budget, even if they aren't Israeli designers.
Right now, my list includes Designer Loft and The White Gown.
For anyone who has shopped this specific look in the city:
• Should I add Wedding Atelier’s flagship or Jaxon James? How is their selection under $8k?

• Would a shop like WONÁ Bridal give me that exact same severe, snatched corset look within my budget?

• Are there any hidden-gem salons I’m completely missing for this aesthetic? I’m

Would love to hear your experiences!

Hi everyone!

My fiancé and I are officially getting married at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (Palm House!) next year and we are so incredibly excited.
Since BBG requires at least a month-of coordinator, we are looking for a planner or coordination team who has extensive, firsthand experience working at the Garden. I know BBG can have some strict logistics regarding vendor load-ins, strict setup timelines for outdoor spaces, and specific COI insurance requirements, so we really want someone who already knows the venue's staff and quirks inside out. LMK!!!
