Amsale!
Anne Barge.
I wanted one of her gowns…with capped sleaves and a dropped waist…for my wedding dress, but it just wasn’t in the budget. And ever time I see a gown I think is stunning, it turns out to be hers.
I’m in love love love with Monique Lhullier and Reem Acra. Both always have stunning necklines, back dress details, and sihlouttes.

Birnbaum & Bullock.
Anne Barge, Reem Acra, Oscar de la Renta, Henry Roth, Kenneth Pool, Melissa Sweet, Vera Wang, and Priscilla of Boston
i’m not engaged yet and really shouldn’t be looking at dresses but i’ve loved amy kuschel since i saw a spread in san francisco magazine a few years back…gorgeous!
Favorites have been Anne Barge, Alfred Sung Signature, Oscar de la Renta.
I wonder how many brides actually purchased from their favorite designer tho? Turned out my “dream dress” was a Henry Roth, someone I hadn’t checked out and my bridal consultant introduced me to.
Amy Kuschel… and if all goes well, I’ll be wearing a dress from her 2007 collection that I bought on ebay!
Jenny Lee!!
My dress is Judd Waddell, which is just soft and airy, with lace and organza. I almost got a Bonaparte NY dress which I also loved.
I love Judd Waddell’s latest collection, I’m also partial to him b/c he’s my dress designer too! The dress was quite affordable compared to the other designers’ at the shoppe.
My faves are Monique L’huillier and Claire Pettibone! I did not, however, purchase from either of their collections but if I had more in the budget for my dress, I would have bought from one of the two of them…
Monique Lhuillier
Most definitely Maggie Sottero. I tried on at least 30 dresses, and my top 3 were all Maggie gowns. Beautiful, feminine, and affordable!! All were musts for me! My dress was Maggie’s Chantilly, with layers of lace and a corset back. LOVE IT!!!
Tea…it’s okay. I had the dress before he proposed. (Not as long a story as it sounds) 
Alberta Ferretti and Le Spose di Gio
I really like Carolina Herrera, Oscar, and Monique Lhullier does some really cute short dresses and lovely lace gowns. I ended up with a vera but its from 2005 (all collections after that don’t do it for me).
Pronovias, my dress is an Algarve from the 2005 collection, Jenny Packham (she designed that gorgeous orangey coloured dress in Casino Royale) and Jane Yeh, a New Zealand designer.
