It's very unlikely that a bridal salon will match a discounter's price. They simply cannot do that because they have overheads that a discount warehouse does not. I have a beautiful salon, good qualified staff and all of the good things that go with that. However, if you ask you may find that the salon may be able to provide you with a discounted price, that typically means that your gown is perhaps shipped directly to you or you will come in to collect your gown and try it on the first time, and will take your alterations or do your alterations elsewhere. Therefore, that cuts down on the time the consultant's have with you and therefore they can cut down the price of the gown.
