2nd time bride

Hi, any suggestions for what to wear for a very low key sunday afternoon brunch for a second time bride, who is over 40? i went to a bridal shop yesterday, the dresses are way too poofy for me, too dressy and way too expensive ! the wedding is in june any suggestions?

thanks

Re: 2nd time bride

Try bridesmaid's dresses or mother of the bride dresses. They often come in white or ivory.I don't knwo how traditional you want to go.
I think ivory would be good, but you could wear a clolor or you could wear an ivory pants suit.

Also, try lookign for wedding dresses lines that have 'informals' like Jordan & Eden.

Hi Leslie! Welcome to the boards! I am glad you joined us here!

I was thinking about this. Try looking at www.bridesave.com. Maybe they have something more low key.

Hi, i jsut saw your 2nd post- Eden Bridals is a company that makes wedigndresses & Jordan Fashions mostly makes bridesmaid dresses, but they have some of them in white as informal wedding gowns.

You can look at there websites & they ususly lists stores that carry them.

You could also try the Jessica McClintock store in Roosevelt Feild.

Here are some ideas:
The first is Jessica McClintock, the second is Eden Informals.

I would attempt to buy something ivory off the rack in any formal section of a Loehmann's, Macy's, Bloomies, etc.

Welcome! also, you can try to look an the vendor sites & see when they have trunk shows.

Alsso check out Bride Couture
They have spectacular prices and quite a few dresses for non-traditional styles.

You do have to look through al the designers, but it is worth the wait!
