Jenny Yoo has a whole section of these! Called Wedding Alternatives They''re still like $650 but some of them really look like wedding dresses, and they come in various levels of formality. Here''s an example! I don''t have one or know anything about them, but I just came across them online and thought they might be worth considering!

Yeah, that''s it. Mrsflutter, I looked at your knot bio again & have to say that I love that Watters dress on you! So far, of all the pics I''ve seen of you in a wedding dress (all of 3--heh!), this is my favorite. You''re a knock-out!
 Would you order it w/ red trim to match your yummy ring? JDGirl, I came really close to selecting a BM dress to wear as my wedding dress. (I have a long dress thread on PS w/ pics of the options I considered) A BM dress in white or ivory could be a great choice as a wedding dress. They''re slightly less formal than wedding gowns & much less expensive. Try Vera Wang, Lazaro & Watters dresses. Let us know what you find.

I have posted this site before but I would say folder_id=1123&Nu=Product+ID&Ns=Price|0||Product+Code|1&N=1123&Ne=500000 target="_blank" Title="Blue Fly" Title="Blue Fly">Blue Fly is a great place to look for dresses. They have designer dresses at more resonalble costs.

Yes that is the picture and I really do love it. It doesnt have boning, but its made out of duchess satin and is beautful on! I want it with red to match my ring (and its my fave color). It really depends how formal you want to be. I want a very expensive photographer for my wedding, so I am putting the 3k on photos instead of a gown. I can get the waters gown for $194 on netbride! I am also getting married in vegas and dont have dreams of swimming in tuillle..... but my choice may not be what everyone wants!
Just an FYI, the lady at fields was not at all happy about me only wanting to choose bm dresses, and kept saying mcCaffery has beautiful destination wedding dresses. SO it might be best just to set up a BM dress appt say you want full length with a small train... Watters has some gorgeous ones www.watters.com brightspot, thanks for the compliments....you are ever so sweet! I''m glad you like the bio, I update it ever so much! (so obessesed!) |

Ok that''s VERY similar to the dress I had almost gotten! I was going to have all the ribbons removed from the train and re-dyed. |

i found a dress that i can''t seem to locate now, it was a vera wang -- purple label -- and it is gorgeous. they are a lot less expensive and some styles are perfect for the bride
 i''ll try to post one that isn''t my favorite, but so you can get an idea...and i''ll keep looking for my favorite

Well, you look amazing! I just found your pic on PS that just confirms my opinion that this is "the dress" for you. Congrats for finding it so quickly!I''m slowly starting to get obsessed w/ my bio too. I''ll post it on PS soon... You make a great point about some salons not being thrilled that you''re only considering BM dresses. I ran into a problem w/ Vera Wang maids, who said I''d have to order 3 BM dresses if I wanted to get a dress in white or ivory. (Since then, I found out I could order only 1 from Pearl''s Place.) Also, when I went to try on the Lazaro gowns, I went to a place that exclusively sold BM dresses (no wedding gowns) so I didn''t get any pressure to try on wedding gowns too. Just a thought... I also tried on mrsflutter''s Watters gown. It was gorgeous, but I really had my heart set on chiffon... Had I not found my dress on eBay, I probably would''ve gone with a BM dress too. |

I bought an ivory prom dress from an outlet store for $35 for my wedding. I wasn''t trying to be cheap, I just saw the dress before I was even engaged and knew it was The One. We got a dress from the same range for my bridesmaid, in lavender. I wore a pashmina shawl, my bridesmaid wore a stole made from the same material as her dress.

so, i made my first collage. i hope that i can post it. it is the dress i'm thinking about. it's a vera wang lavendar label -- not a true wedding dress -- but i think that it is gorgeous and it's simplicity suits me. The top two pictures are the dress and the bottom picture is an actual "real" vera bridal gown from one of her collections. i'm using that dress as an inspiration for its wider, tulle straps -- i'd like to change the spaghetti straps to those
yesterday, i went ahead and ordered the dress because i found it for 40% off and i just couldn't pass it up. if it isn't what i'm hoping i can always return it for a full refund.   IS IT BRIDAL ENOUGH..... |
