Second dress???

I would check Lulus, Nordstrom, or other retail stores instead of looking specifically at bridal shops.

No, bridal shops can work too. Ask local shops if they have discontinued dresses (often in back). I got mine for less than $200!

Cocomelody has beautiful dresses, I'm actually contemplating getting a reception dress from them.

View Quoted Comment I will have to check out cocomelody. I’ve never heard of them. Are their prices pretty reasonable?

I got my second dress from Azazie.

View Quoted Comment Yes ma'am, they're very reasonable and customizable.

Oh that is exciting. I’m going to have to check it out. Thanks so much.

View Quoted Comment Such a good idea!!! I’ll have to check out their website.

View Quoted Comment I got the Sedona. I am actually wearing it for the ceremony, and my more expensive dress for the reception. But my azazie was only $300, and they have lots of options and an in-home try on program.

View Quoted Comment Oh nice!!!!!

Whyyyyyyyyyy!

Sorry I hate hearing this is honestly so wasteful, you get to wear your pretty dress 1 day and 1 day only why do you want to shorten that time after all the money you put into your dress I really don't understand why people do this.

I didn’t put a lot of money into my first dress. I bought it from a bridal store that was going out of business and paid about 1/5th of the original cost of the dress. I also don’t feel very comfortable and am now self conscious of myself when wearing the dress therefore I’m going to find a dress that’s a simple and easy to move in for my reception and I’m going to enjoy the evening instead of being uncomfortable and self conscious all night.

I second cocomelody! I actually purchased my ceremony dress from them (it’s absolutely gorgeous). Reputable and affordable for sure!
