  • Thanks for the encouragement and stunning pictures of dresses! For some aspects of your wedding, it just takes time. It might help to take a breather from dress shopping and concentrate your energies on other parts of the wedding (favors, cake, photography, etc.). It'll also help if you go on a date with your fiance and not talk about the wedding.

  • If you are looking for an alternative to stuffy bridal shops, look for unique trunk shows. I attended the "Brides Against Breast Cancer" trunk show when it came to my town this year. I found the perfect dress there that day, and it is outside of the box. Its a light blush pink color with flowers all along the hip. Plus, all proceeds go to a good cause! Check out their website.....you have a great time and help out a great cause!

  • I know it sounds cheezy and scary, but if you are looking for a wedding dress and don't feel like going to a bridal shop you can always try E-bay. Ok now that your jaw is hanging on the ground let me explain. People have really unique stuff on there that they can handmake and it is cheaper than if you go to a bridal store. I know Ebay is kind of weird, but you can find great stuff on there for a great price. I found my wedding band on E-bay. My fiance got me an antique platinum ring and it was almost impossible to match. We went to every jewelry store in the state almost and couldn't find a thing. We found the perfect match on E-bay for an awesome price. So maybe you can find your perfect match on your dress there! Good luck!

  • Amanda S. I hear you I've been looking for my dress in vintage worn once even wedding shops online. I've looked on e-bay lots of times too. I don't want to spend a whole lot on my dress but I do want something gorgeous and vintage looking. Thanks for you comment!

  • woah, those two left-column dresses are crazy cool! i know i'm like a broken record bragging about Etsy, but for brides looking for something custom, their indie artists are extremely talented and often very affordable.

  • Hi ladies,

    That blue dress with the purple sash is a gown by designer Vera Wang. To find out how much it costs, simply visit her website at: http://www.verawangonweddings.com/ and click on store locator in the top right corner. Or, contact the bridal salons in your area to ask if they can get that dress in stock. Hope that helps! Happy planning and thanks again for reading...

    Cheers,
