This was the first place I went and the place I went back to. Store was tidy and clean, staff were friendly and helpful (even were able to find a dress from a photo I took last visit), and the selection was wonderful. Found just the right dress for me within my budget! Couldn't be more thrilled with this place!

I'm pretty sure I've already given this rant to every woman I've encountered in the past few months, but it deserves to be posted here too.

I cannot say how happy I am with BFAC. So many of my friends are paying thousands of dollars for their wedding dresses, which take months to be delivered. I spent an hour at BFAC and went home with my dream dress AND a veil, which only cost me $340.

You're not going to get the "sipping champagne and shopping with 10 of your best girls" experience here. And if you have a very specific idea of what you want, there's a good chance that this shop won't have that exact dress. But it's definitely worthwhile to start here, to see what styles look best on you, and in case you get lucky like me and find a gorgeous lace dress with sheer paneling and a bodice that fits like it was made for you.

Make sure to book an appointment online, and bring a friend or family member to help pick and try on dresses. The dresses are organized by size, which makes selecting dresses easy. The attendants were super helpful in using clips to show how the dress will fit once altered. And do make sure to leave room in your budget for alterations.

Happy shopping, ladies :)
