Dress under a $1000

I'M SUPER EXCITED! I found this dress that is under $600 and it looks EXACTLY like a very popular Melissa Sweet gown that would cost you $3800!!!!!

The dress is by Moonlight and it features a sweetheart neckline and a mermaid cut.

This is the Melissa Sweet gown that looks exactly like the dress above but way more expensive. The differences in the two dresses are so small that you really wouldn't tell unless you're a bridal expert.


Pre-Owned Wedding Dress of the Day

This Judd Waddell dress goes for about $3900, but the bride is asking only $1500. Pretty awesome - because it is an awesome dress!


Swoon-Worthy Dress of the Day

Sorry it has been a few days, this past weekend I went to Disney and then the next month I have to prepare for law school finals, so I might not be as on top of my game as usual. But I promise I wont slack too too much.

Heres the dream dress for the day. It is a Ramona Keveza, style number E832. I'm not sure of the exact price, but I know for sure it is over $5K, so lets just say it is fun dreaming :)

The dress comes in a pale green (for Earth lovers I guess?) and the classic white, so I'm posting both.

New Section: Dresses under a $1000

After discussing this with one of my friends, I feel it is really important to overcome a common misconception about dresses. The common assumption with many girls when they are first buying a wedding dress is that they wont be able to get anything absolutely spectacular for less than a $1000. This is not true at all. There are so many dresses that go for as low as $400 that look VERY similar to dresses that run 15 times that.

So to begin the new section: Dresses under a $1000, I picked out two very beautiful dresses that are both under $600.

The first one is a dropped waist gown by Eden Bridals. The A-line to the dress would flatter all figures and the scooped neckline adds the perfect allusion of cleavage for flat chests, or minimizes yet at the same time perfectly accentuates a bigger bust.



The next dress could easily be by Alvina Valenta or Paloma Blanca but alas it is a Maggie Sottero dress that is modern yet classicly beautiful. I love the bubble hem on this dress and the asymmetric waist. To show that I'm not lying, I found these two dresses that both range from $3000-5000. Look how similar they are to the Maggie Sottero. I'm telling ya....its quite unbelievable what you can get when you just do a little bit of research, you could end up saving thousands and put that towards a coveted band or those beautiful peony centerpieces! :)

Pre-Owned Dress of the Day

I wish this dress would show up bigger but it is being sold for $3500 (down from $7500). It is a sparkling masterpiece by Anne Barge. Check out more pictures of it: http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/5197/Anne-Barge-432-Size-8.html


My Bridesmaid's Dress

This is going to be my bridesmaid's dresses. It will be in this canary yellow color. I tried it on myself and LOVED it, I'm almost sad that I'm not getting one too. It really is a beautiful dress and it looks good on girls in all sizes!
