Ahhh! Wedding Dresses cost so much :(

Is anyone else running into this?

The dresses that look good on me are in the 4000-6500 range.
This is soo frusturating, I can't seem to find a beautiful mermaid dress for less :(

Help!!!

I thought I had problems when all the gowns i liked were $1200-$2000

there has GOT to be cheaper gowns that look amazing on you.
Also, there are tons of places who can get the gowns cheaper.
FM if you'd like some of the websites that i trust.

Thanks for the suggestion though :)

my best friend got married last year and bought a beautiful mermaid gown from houseofbrides.com... they are located in chicago, BUT maybe you can investigate their web site and then find the designer out here somewhere.... I know her dress was under $1500..... and it was designer...

try a trunk show or sample sale, trunk show is 15% off so don't know how much that will help...sample sale i never been to one so not exactly sure but a couple girls on here have and they seem to have gotten a great deal

I'll be honest I ended up spending about $400 more on a gown than I thought I would.. mine is running me (without all the extras- veil, tiara, slip, blusher) $1,080.00- I thought I'd be so concervative and only spend no more than $700.00- but I said in essence to myself that I am only getting married once so gotta live a little as long as it doesn't send me to the poorhouse.
