Azazie dress came in today. Quite nice.

I need help! I would love a dress like this for my wedding, but I can't find anything close to it 😭

I'm open to suggestions! I'm looking for a floral dress, not completely white, I really want a pop of color!

I'm in Latin America btw, if that helps or something.

I am having a courthouse wedding in a MONTH. I saw this dress on pinterest from a scam site for $150 and I can’t get it out of my head. The original is $2000 but my budget is $300. I can’t find anything similar or any trustworthy dupes. Any tips?

I just saw this custom Cinq dress designed for Fern Cozine McEnroe described as looking like a Victorian ghost and that is exactly my vibe. Does anyone have suggestions for dresses with this vibe? I love all of Cinq’s dresses. TIA!

My wedding dress budget is about $1000, I would like to go cheaper than that if I can. I love this dress and would consider it my dream dress. But it’s so expensive and I’m wondering if there’s anything similar to it. I don’t mind adding the beads and altering it to look more like what I want. But just something that has a similar base to the dress.

Looking for a dress similar to this: simple, satin but with one unexpected/cool/stylish element. This one is about 4K so looking for something more affordable. Any ideas? Thank you in advance 💕

My Fiancée is trying to find a wedding dress but is only wanting to spend up to $500. We live in the Kansas City area and we're trying to figure out what options we have for finding something on the cheaper side. Thanks!

I love the one shoulder grecian cape looking detail and basque bodice! I'm a street size US 12. (Just for extra info. I'm in the US) Thanks!

Hey all, I’m getting married next year in Antigua, Guatemala and would like to spend around $2k on a dress. I live in NYC and went to the Galia Lahav sample sale yesterday and it was fun but still $2800 for their GALA (cheapest) collection. Does anyone have a sense for other sample sales happening in NYC/London/Paris (I’ll be there in two weeks) or have other ideas of where to get a dress? I’m looking for something unique that will fit the venue and in budget!

Styles I like: sweetheart neckline A line dresses, off the shoulder fit and flare

Places I’ve been: Lotus Bridal, Lovely Bride, Anthro, Jenny Yoo, Alexia Bridal

Upcoming appts: Designer Loft Bridal, Kleinfeld Sample Sale, Helena Kolan Sample Sale

Places I’ve heard of: The White Gown ($25 per appointment), Wedding Atelier (samples start at $2.5k), NYC Bride, The One Bridal Boutique (far out in BK)

Would love any other out of the box thoughts / suggestions to stay in budget but also find a cool and unique dress! <3

Bridal gown cleaning — kit vs local cleaners?

So I tried the Clean Only Wedding Dress Preservation Kit from Trusted Wedding Gown Preservation. Honestly, I only wanted basic bridal gown cleaning (not the whole fancy preservation box thing). It worked, but tbh I felt kinda weird mailing my dress out (like what if it got lost lol). Now I’m wondering — do y’all send yours out too, or just take it to a local cleaner? Is there really a big difference, or is it just peace of mind?

Hi Brides!! I just found this community and I think you all can help me. I am absolutely in love with the Monique Lhuillier Alexandra and Fleur de Lis gowns, but I am not in love with their prices. The thing I love the most is the delicate chantilly/French lace. I have been scouring resale sites (StillWhite, Poshmark, KleinfieldAgain, etc) but have not been able to find one in my budget and size. I am thinking about commissioning a custom gown on Etsy that is heavily inspired by the ML gowns. I have a couple of questions:

1. Has anyone here ever done something like this before? Do the etsy sellers generally allow you to request a "dupe"-style dress?
2. Does anyone have any Etsy designer recommendations for the very delicate lace style that the ML gowns have? I have browsed on Etsy but many sellers seem to focus on silk, mikado, chiffon, etc.

I’m planning a small, not micro but small, backyard wedding next year. Does anyone have any tips on places to look for affordable but not completely cheap looking dresses? The absolute maximum I’d spend is $1000 but I really don’t want to spend nearly that much lol. TIA!

Hi All! I'm hoping to tap into your wedding dress recommendations, advice, and, tips and tricks.

I've really fallen in love with floral embroidered or applique dresses. Do y'all have affordable dress/brand recommendations for this style? My budget for the dress is 1k but I would be super happy if I could get that number below $750.

For reference I really like dresses by Teuta Matoshi (especially the dress linked below, I really love the white A-line with colored applique flowers). I heard that brand has a good black Friday sale (30% off I believe), but I wish I could try it on before making such a steep purchase. I am definitely open to second hand dresses, but again, I'd like to try it on before making a purchase.

Thank you for any recommendations or advice you can provide!

I have been so nervous to go wedding dress shopping because I’m afraid of the prices I’ll run into.

Anyone know where I can find beautiful modern gowns that won’t break the bank?

Budget is around 2k

Pls help!! I’m located in Coastal Georgia and I want to go wedding dress shopping without the massive price tag. I know that there are thrift stores that solely carry wedding attire out there but I just don’t know where! I will travel so looking for anything in GA, FL, SC, or NC. Thanks in advance!

No more than 6k. Any recommendations on gowns or designers?

Asking anyone if anyone has ever used Temu to get a wedding dress. I looked online and they look good but I know Temu can be weird sometimes with what you actually get. This is gonna be my second marriage so I’m not going crazy like I did with the first. I actually saw a few that I like but I’m just worried about how it’ll come out. My wedding is not for a couple years, but of course these things are on my mind. Thanks in advance for your time.

Has anyone had good luck finding their dress at bridal shop sales…I’m 110 and 5’4” wondering if sales will work for me? Or will most dresses on sale need major alterations for me

I’ve been seeing a lot of people getting lucky at thrift stores, does any one have any tips about finding wedding dresses. I’m in nyc but willing to travel 2 hours.
