Prom dress as wedding dress?

It's just a dress! If it's pretty and you like it, go for it! How it's marketed means nothing. Think of it this way: if you saw the prom dresses in a bridal shop, would you think they were bridal gowns or prom dresses? There's your answer :-)

I'm in the same boat , since I don't have time to order one . I hate the thought of having to buy off the rack that every bride has tried it on.

Go for it! No one will know unless you tell them

I don't think anyone would know the difference. Most people will just think, "What a pretty white dress." You'll be fine.

I seriously considered going the prom dress route. They are so beautiful and way more wallet friendly!

Go for it. It doesn't have to b be labeled a wedding dress if you love it

@kayla I love those ! Going to check out Macy's and Dillard's. and thank you ladies. Definitely making me feel more comfortable about it

OP - I just came here to say YASSS YAS YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I'm looking at her site now and the dresses are beautiful. wear a white one, a hot pink one, a brocade, crop top with greenery bottom, whatever. they're great, all of them!

And if you're really in Cherry Hill you should have no problem finding amazing dresses this time of year (I bought my prom dress in South Jersey 10 years ago and the selection was amazing then).

Also, Jo is going to slay her black dress, I cannot wait to see her BAM and yours.

Yes if you love it, prom dresses work!

If you're worried about time, you could always find a wedding gown off the rack at like a sample sale. Or you could look at bridesmaid dresses that come in white or ivory.

@pahina I really am in cherry hill lol. I do see bridal and prom dress stores everywhere

Pick a dress you love!

I say wear what makes you feel beautiful and confident! I'm sure you will look stunning!

Any dress can be a wedding dress, it doesn't even have to be white. I'd say go for it!

There is some breathtaking prom dresses! Check Jcpennys! They had a stunning blush dress. It didn't come in white but it sure was pretty for any non-traditional brides.

Go to Jan's boutique om rt 73. I think I worked with a Linda. She was great. That's where I got my pagent dress.

Thank you Jorocka! I'll look into her

What.!?? Those pics are beautiful! Dress it a little bit and go for it!

If you love the dress, go for it!

Wedding dresses aren't exclusively "wedding dresses" especially now people are wearing less traditional dresses and I think it's great. Not everyone wants a ballgown let along has the budget for one! I say go for it! Get your "prom" wedding dress!

I say go for it. There are ton of beautiful prom and pageant dresses that could work for a wedding gown. My reception gown is a pageant dress and I love it!
