Alfred Angelo "Dream in Color" line and others?

azsunshine, on March 13, 2009 at 12:45 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

Hi everyone! I am super in love with the dream in color line by Alfred Angelo and was wondering if anyone else went with a color-accented dress? I was also wondering if there are other designers that do something similar? I am wanting to do a dress with coral accents so the traditional red or champagne sash isn't really what I am looking for. Also, the Alfred Angelo site shows the price range for the dresses, but I am finding that all of the stores are much more expensive ... is there a way around this? Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you! (Check out my profile for my inspiration boards for the dresses I am currently interested in ... feedback would be great! Thanks!)

    I got my wedding dress from Alfred Angelo, and I went to an Alfred Angelo store-the prices were accurate to the website. I know if you go to an "authorized dealer" that they may change the prices. My MOH got a color combo dress from DaVinci Bridals. You can look on bridalsuperstore.com for lots of different designers, and the dresses are discounted.

    Davids Bridal does have some dresses that are similar to the ones that you have on your board, and are a little less expensive.

    Hi there. My dress is part of the dream in color line and I love it! I looked online and the online price range almost turned me away but my co mohs really liked the line. My dress actually turned out to be cheaper in the store because it was on sale than it was listed for online. I would suggest getting on their email list for sale alerts or just dropping by the store. They tend to have some really good specials.

    Good luck!

    Congrats on your engagement! I just wanted to let you know that I have a designer who can make a dress to your specifications if you should decide to go that route. He is quite a bit cheaper than the high end designers but makes very fashionable, quality, reasonably priced gowns. Feel free to contact me if you are interested. I hope you find your dream gown!

    Best Wishes,

    This dress came from

    http://www.lilywedding.com/index.php

    for $238 WITH SHIPPING!

    They make each dress custom so they were more than willing to change the color from its original pink to pale blue as seen in pics... i had the straps added after it came but they did the rest Smiley smile

    here it is in its on the website before the blue ( i also had them remove some of the beading on the top )

    Just use the Customer Service link to ask them your questions on any of the dresses. They were great to work with!

    Let me know if you have questions about anything anything! good luck!

    I myself have an Alfred Angelo not the color accented one though I couldnt find one that had the exact color that I wanted.Anyhow I went to House of Brides first and they had a sale on the dress bringing it down to like $600.But I did some research and went to Eva's Bridal and just happen to mention to them that I had seen the dress at another store for cheaper(it was a little white lie but it worked) and the sales consultant told me she could beat the price of the other store and she surely did so I actually got the dress for almost $400 less than what the bridal stores were trying to sell it to me for.And I love it.So do your best bargaining and save yourself some money so that you can have your dream dress.Also check Davids because they have a couple of the dresses that you like and maybe even cheaper.

    Hi all! Thanks for responding! I have checked out some of the david's bridal dresses but they do not offer the ones I like in the coral color Smiley sad Gabby, I love you dress and may definitely look into that. I am seriously considering going the custom made route because I would like to get the dress I love from the Alfred Angelo line but with a halter top and possibly coral color beading as well. I have lots of time so I don't mind waiting a little while for someone to make it. Thanks for sharing your pictures, they are beautiful! I just love color in wedding dresses! Inspirations by Kathy, I may drop you a line and see if I can get a quote from your guy. Thanks everyone for your input!!!!

    I believe that Alfred Angelo is one of the designers that really lets you customize your dress easily, with no problems or even added expense. So you can choose a halter style top from one of their dresses and combine it with the rest of the dress that you do love. Talk to a bridal shop that sells Alfred Angelo and see what they say.

    Do you have an Alfred Angelo store anywhere around you? My bridesmaids ordered their dresses directly from the AA store and the dresses were actually cheaper than the website listed (the website had it in the under $175 category, but it was only $140 in the store). Also, I registered online and get coupons for bridesmaids dresses in the mail all the time. If you buy your dress from the Alfred Angelo store the bridesmaids get 20 dollars off of their dresses. My bridesmaids got their dresses for 120, which I thought was a fair price.

    Hope this helps! Your inpiration board is awesome!

    Whoops....sorry, I just saw dream in color and thought bridemaid dresses. I don't know how you would feel about ordering your dress online, but bestbridalprices.com has a good selection of the dream in color wedding gowns at pretty good prices. I have done some research and havn't found any bad reviews about this sites service.

    I bought my dress at Alfred Angelo and I love it. I might have reconsidered if I had it to do all over again though just because I got a great deal on the dress. Paid $500 wich I thought was really good. But the problem was that when I went to get it altered ( which all I needed was a bustle put in) it cost me almost as much as the dress. It cost almost $400. But you dont dare take it to someone eles because they do not guarantee their work and after all, its your wedding dress that there messing with. Pretty big chance that you would be taking. I guess my thought on it was that Alfred Angelo should give you more of a discount on alterations if you buy the dress from them. Just something to keep in mind. The alterations put me way over budget.

    I also love Alfred Angelo's dresses. I chose the same dress as appletango85. i paid $599. i had to travel 50 miles to get it at a discount but i saved $400. My dress is cherry and white and it is beautiful!!!! Alfred has the best color gowns (my opinion) and i think you made a great choice.

    Good Luck

    I havent been into the stores yet but i found this website when i started looking. I have this one set as one of my favorites. I dont know just how much cheaper it is compared to the store prices but its worth a try.

    http://www.bestbridalprices.com/alfred-angelo-wedding-dresses-style-1516-p-14635.html

    i figure if you go in the store, try it on and figure out your size just to go this site and order it.

    Good luck!

    I looked around for color accented dresses but i decided to go with all white for my wedding. but they are really beautiful alfred angelo has the biggest color selection that i have seen and you can get matching bridesmaid dresses if you wanted to. also i believe davidsbridal has a coral like color and several color accented dresses (even one that my aunt got for her wedding that is on the alfred angelo site for much more than on the davidsbridal site)these will be a lot cheaper than an actual designers site would be well good luck finding one you love!http://www.davidsbridal.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplayView?storeId=10052&catalogId=10051&categoryId=-49982498¤tIdx=3&subCategory=-49999486%7c-49982499%7c-49982498&catentryId=1000073
