Should i wear a wedding dress?

OMG Yay!!!!!! I'm so happy for you - looks incredible, congrats!!

I've got to know, did you get this one? I love the lace!

I think the important question here would be, if you look back in 10 years, will you wish you wore something different? I like the dress in the picture, it is flattering on you. I have also seen some lovely ones online as well, for reasonable pricing.

That being said... you could always renew your vows and wear a fancier, more traditional dress then.

I'd wear whatever makes you feel fabulous. A dress does not make the person. Do whatever makes you feel the most confident and beautiful

The dress is beautiful. I hope it will work out for you. If not, another source to consider is Facebook. I am not sure bout Ontario but I do believe it will have something similar here in BC calls Vancouver Wedding Buy and Swap. Brides are selling their dresses. decors and so many other things from their wedding on daily basis. Good luck and keep us posted.

You can find some reasonably priced casual bridal gowns at David's Bridal. There were quite a few beautiful ones I saw when I was there picking out my dress. I'd also look for second hand ones. I'd try to find a bridal dress, before going another route. In the interest of still feeling like a bride the day of.

That's gorgeous! What a lucky find! My friend purchased her wedding dress from a consignment store and looked absolutely stunning while staying in her budget. It's definitely a great option to purchase a pre-worn dress. Hope it all works out for you, all the best!

OMG, so gorgeous! I hope it works out for you, let us know!!!

You don't need to get a wedding dress, but it would be nice to wear something new! Plus you could get something at le chateau that doesn't break the bank. Another option is going to David's bridal/other bridal salons and getting something off-the-rack as is, even an ivory bridesmaid dress if they have any ready to buy. Opportunity bridal is a travelling dress shop that sells dresses right off the rack for cheap! If there's one in your area I'd definitely look into it.

I don't know how feasible it is for you to order from the States, there's a store called Modcloth that has simple beautiful dresses, kind of vintage-looking.

I agree, you should at least be in something "new"... something he hasn't seen. But you definitely don't need to break the bank. It's end nearing the end of summer, you can almost always find crazy deals at David's Bridal when they have their clearance gowns. Like, actually under $200. Also, once you know your size, don't be afraid to look online for DavidsBridal.ca or .com.... that's where they'd have clearance dresses that are literally the last one of that size, and you could really get a steal! Good luck!

Wear whatever makes you comfortable and happy. If you really want the bridal feeling with less financial hardship I would try regular stores for white dresses or buying a bridesmaid dress. I think that no matter what you wear the day will still be special.

I'm sure you'll look great either way, but perhaps if you opt for a less expensive, all-white dress, you can use some of the money to put toward having your hair and makeup done too rather than having to spend all of that (and more) on a wedding gown.

I would definitely try and find something it doesn't even have to be a "wedding dress" just something he hasn't seen. I would try places like La Chateau, The Bay, Dynamite etc.

I would try to find a simple white dress, or look for a wedding dress on kijiji, there are also some stores where brides can sell their dresses for a discount, not sure if they have any in Ontario. I think it would be very romantic to surprise your future hubby with a different dress .

We totally are doing the same thing ... we cancelled our 2019 wedding and are getting married in November - and our family thinks they are coming to an engagement party

I am TOTALLY wearing a dress!! Everyone else can come in jeans for all I care - but I will be a bride in a beautiful gown!
