About

From 2004 to 2024, you knew us as PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com (POWD), but as of September 2024, we’re stepping into a new era as Nearly Newlywed (NN)!

We can help you find the dress of your dreams for less🙌🏻 or help you give your wedding gown a second Big Day with another happy bride🥰.


Our marketplace currently features thousands of wedding dresses for sale, with advanced search features enabling a search by (any or all) designer, keyword, price, neckline, silhouette, size, dress height and location. Dresses are available in all sizes and price points!

Berta, Inbal Dror, Hayley Paige, Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Lazaro, Jim Hjelm, Maggie Sottero, Allure, Casablanca, David's Bridal and more than 500 other designers. Your dream dress is waiting (at a price that will amaze you!)

We also have bridesmaids, mother's dresses, flower girl dresses and accessories. Something for your entire wedding party🙌🏻.

In October of 2022, we relaunched our brand new marketplace!

Some of the big changes we made are:

  • Secure payment processing
    Sellers and buyers let us know that they didn’t like working with PayPal, and that they wanted to be better protected during their transactions, so we’ve decided to take care of this ourselves. We handle the payment, including processing fees, to help ensure a smooth and secure transaction.
  • Pay over time using Affirm
    The gold standard for digital “buy now, pay later” financing, we’ve partnered with Affirm to make wedding dresses accessible to even more brides! With Affirm, buyers can finance their purchase over time and sellers get paid upfront.
  • Simplified prepaid and insured shipping
    Fully insured to and from US based sellers, our shipments are fully insured and require a signature to be received. Buy a box (or use on from home), print the prepaid UPS label we provide you and drop the dress off for shipping. Easy!
  • A more secure bridal marketplace
    We’ve invested in creating a secure platform that sellers and buyers can trust, including a secure buyer-to-seller chat system that is private to the public but visible to our support team. Send pictures and videos or organize a video call!
  • Improved customer support

    Our team has intimate knowledge of the bridalwear industry and is ready to assist you should a complication arise during your sale. From fine-tuning your listing (to help your dress sell faster) to mediating a conflict should one come up, we're offering an additional layer of dispute protection, where PayPal’s lack of expertise and experience in the bridal space meant that both parties were unhappy.

    Our dedicated team is here to assist from listed, to sold, to shipped, to newly-loved💜

Buying on a budget while being treated like you’re paying full price!

I’m sure my experience of searching for a dress is not unique, but looking for wedding dresses is stressful alone and then you add in not having an endless budget. It is stressful. As I was searching Google for different options of samples or consignments, I stumbled upon this page. At first, I thought it was it in Atlanta, which is why I actually clicked on the page. Once I started scrolling, I loved the fact that there were vendors selling as well as brides selling their own dresses. There was a great mix of options and budget price points. Then I stumbled on “the dress.”!!!! it was exactly the style of dress I was wanting, but my budget was not looking like it was going to support. But it was perfect. I couldn’t believe it when I found a $3300 dress for $400! That is only where my fairytale started. Once I commented with Astraea Bridal, they were super responsive. But what I want to share is that they were so kind and so helpful. Even though I was getting a sample dress for $400 Leslee made me feel like I was the most important bride, she had talked to all day.. it was hard buying a dress from Washington without trying it on, but she sent me all the measurements and made sure I was very confident in my purchase. She walked me through different options of veils to wear and before shipping my dress offered to put it in a black garment bag for a small additional cost, ($25) which I was extremely thankful that she did. I’ve already recommended them to friends that are looking for wedding dresses. Take the chance, buy the dress!! Especially if it’s from Astraea Bridal. They truly care about what they do and the brand they represent. Because of them, I have my dream dress within the budget that I could never imagine I would find! I cannot wait to post pictures from our wedding in Venice next June! Thank you!!!!

Smooth, Supportive & Stress-Free!

I had such a great experience buying my dress through PreOwned Wedding Dresses! The whole process was smooth, and when my package was unexpectedly returned (I wasn’t home at the time), their team was super helpful in getting it resent without any hassle. The seller was lovely too. I'm really happy with my dress — it’s exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend if you’re considering going the pre-loved route!

This app was great.

I had a great experience using this site. One-time posting fee instead of a subscription was huge for me and my dress found a new home in a few months. The website has a lot of high standards for the process that keeps everyone, buyer and seller, safe.

Fantastic Experience

I recently purchased my wedding dress from this website, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The entire process was seamless, and the seller was incredibly responsive to my inquiries. I had a small hiccup when I mistakenly input my old address for shipping, but the customer service team was so supportive and helped me correct it quickly.

The dress arrived in perfect condition and exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and fit. I got a *stunning* deal on the designer dress of my dreams. Overall, I highly recommend Newly Newlywed to any bride-to-be looking for a stunning dress and excellent service!

Great and much needed service!

The fact that this service exists is amazing. They made the process of purchasing a pre-owned dress very easy. I found them by just searching my dream dress on Google and am so happy that there was a seller with that dress available.

Can't find a discontinued dress... look no further!

My daughter finally decided on a dress after more than a month of appointments with different shops. When she tried to order it, they were so sorry but it's not available in size 6 anymore. She couldn't even get close to her size. It seemed like wasted time. She found the exact dress through Nearly Newlywed & PWOD. It was new with tags, clean, and unaltered. It was easy and we are grateful. Thank you.

Great experience!

I found the exact dress I wanted in my size! It is discontinued so I had been looking everywhere and finally found it on POWD. It arrived very quickly and fit perfectly!! Cannot wait to walk down the aisle!

A great gamble!

I am on a budget, and the dresses I loved were not in that budget. The brick and mortar stores I tried didn’t have the style of dress I wanted, this was the best happy medium— a style I wanted with a price I could afford. I was hesitant to order online, but I got immediate responses of my questions, it shipped so fast, and it quite literally made me so happy to find what I wanted with this online gamble. Thrilled!
