Hi everyone, Is it just me, or does it seem like the only lightweight fabric out there these days is CHIFFON? It seems like every picture of a wedding I'm seeing lately has the bridesmaids in different colours of long, flowy, chiffon dresses. Any other elegant alternatives out there? It's obviously beautiful, and great for the heat, but I don't want my wedding to look like everyone else who got married in 2014-2015.

Hello! I'm looking for a bridal sash for my wedding gown, but do not want to pay between $200-350 that I've seen in wedding shops. I'm looking online, and having a hard time finding what I want! I tried on this Allure sash with my dress, and LOVE it. It's 200 in that shop (and I saw it for 350 in another!). I'm looking to buy a similar sash (it's around 3 inches at the widest point, and the beadwork goes all the way around). I do not want a sash that is straight, and I need one that is at least probably 15" in beadwork, maybe more. I've attached a picture of the belt. It's Allures S33. Does anyone know anyone selling this belt, or something similar? Thanks!!

Hello fellow BDW brides, I found two dresses from Dressbarn that I think both of my BM looks fabulous in, but I need help with picking one for the wedding. I have picked my wedding colours to be 1920s Great Gatsby inspired theme: My bouquet will look like this: My ceremony will be at the beach. My fiance along with 2 other groomsmen will wear black suits. We have not decided on ties yet. Here are the dresses: Dress #1: Short dress Pros: It is a short dress (good for walking around the beach), champagne colour, I love the lace top and then the chiffon layers at the bottom Cons: They sold out of the size 8s, so I have to alter the dress for one of my BMs, both BMs and my fiance likes dress #2 more, I'm afraid the color of the dress will blend in with the sand colour in the background. I'm afraid the champagne colour is so light that it will be washed out in pictures like this: Dress #2: Long dress (the flash is making the dress looks silver, but it is actually taupe color) Pros: No need to alter either of the dresses (except for hemming the length) since we were able to buy the correct size, both BMs and my fiance likes this dress more, They will not blend-in with the sand in the background, this dress is cheaper than Dress #1 Cons: I have in my mind that BMs looks better in short dresses (looks cuter), Not sure if the taupe colour quite match with my bouquet and my theme, Will my BMs looks shorter with the long dress? PLEASE HELP! I'm going insane soon.

Is anyone else worried about having a wrinkly dress due to the travel? I have asked all around where I am getting married and no one has steam cleaning. Is anyone buying like a small personal steam cleaner? What are you doing to ensure your dress is not looking a hot mess?

I ordered a custom-made ivory organza dress with a ruffle-layered skirt and sweetheart neckline (zip-up back with button detail). I ended up wearing another dress so this dress was never worn (I only tried it on twice at home). The ruffles are great for a seaside wedding! I don't want this dress to go to waste so I would love to give it a new home! $150 plus shipping. Comes with the ivory sash as pictured and I'll also include the ivory fingertip veil I never wore (because it was too windy on my wedding day). Customized to fit a street size 4 and my height without shoes (5'3) but here were the measurements used: Bust size: 85cm Waist size: 71cm Shoulder to floor with shoes on: 131cm Height: 162.5 See attached photos:
