Using a bridesmaid dress in white or ivory as wedding dress?

Amy, on May 15, 2019 at 5:42 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

Has anyone done this? I'm 41 and this is a second marriage for both of us. He didn't have a wedding the first time, so he'd like to have more of one this time around. Most of the wedding dresses seem over the top to me. We're doing rustic theme in a UU church and fellowship hall. I'm thinking about Azazie specifically since that's where I'm hoping my girls will get their dresses from. I don't want a train, and instead do a long veil that I can remove after the ceremony to save on bustling costs.

Has anyone used a bridesmaid dress as a wedding dress? Links would be lovely! I'm trying to stay around $150.

    Look on azzazie they have tons of bm dresses in white/ivory and all are under 200 i think. And for 10 per dress you can try it on at home plus you can get it custom fit to you, go to a tailor shop to get ur measurements to be 100% sure

    You could even check David's Bridal online, you can get any bridesmaid dress in ivory. They are mainly under $150 and they have frequent sales.

    Sounds like a good idea for what you want. FH and I are both second-timers too. So I also see a lot of dresses that are no longer my style at this stage and age (I’ll be 45 by the time we get married). But I’m seeking a gold and cream lace mermaid dress that I really love.

    I think this one could be bridal. I look on azazie and they had over 200 dresses in white between 100-150 dollars.

    Mod cloth has some around $150-200! They’re a little simpler, I love their dresses. BHLDN also has some that are simpler but they’re more in the $200 range. Here’s a link for ModCloth, they usually have a few on sale!

    I would check out bhldn. I got my dress for 200 dollars and I had it within a week. I had thought of getting a bridesmaid dress in white or ivory myself. Here are some places I have seen with less expensive white dresses: BHLDN, Lulus, Torrid, Modcloth, Revolve, Reformation, ASOS, H&M, French Connection, etc. Happy hunting!

    A bunch of people have done this! If you are happy with the dress then go for it!! I have also heard of people getting white prom dresses instead of a wedding dress. Davids bridal has affordable dresses and you can also try outlets bridal stores will sometimes have some nice dresses for a very affordable price.

    Surprisingly, Walmart.com has bridesmaids dresses in white / ivory at good prices and with good reviews.

    I did a MOB dress. (In a color)
    I'm a big girl and it had the coverage, size range, and price point I was looking for.
    So I'm very partial to this idea.
    I considered it an option at the beginning too.
