Have any of you brides bought your wedding dress and/or bridesmaids dress online?

Feedback on quality is appreciated! 

I have looked at sites like lightinthebox and dinodirect and while the dresses are SO cheap I am concerned about the quality.

Anyone has any experience?

I have not purchased a dress online. However, I recommend that you purchase 'Bridal Bargains' or borrow this book from the library.  It has a very extensive chapter on wedding dresses, and discusses the quality and ratings for a number of online outlets.  In addition, they have a forum for updates and further discussion. I hope this helps---good luck!

I purchased my wedding dress online without even trying it on first! (Crazy, i know, lol!) I bought it from Vows bridal salon just outside Boston, MA. They are the store that has that show on TLC, I Found the Gown.  I had excellent customer service from them and got my dress for less than half off retail price... and it's the real deal! Highly recommend them!!

 

I also just purchased my bridesmaids dresses online from a store in Minneapolis called the Wedding Shoppe http://www.weddingshoppeinc.com/. I wont receive them until sometime in Aug/Sept but the service has been great as well!

 

Good luck with your hunt! :)

Liz

You are welcome! There are lots of bridal bargains books, but this is a great one. If you have a kindle, you can download a chapter or two for free.  (I think the chapter is on invitations, rather than dresses though.)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
