So I have found my wedding dress. I am on a tight budget and I am looking to save money any way I can. I found the prefect dress for our informal back yard wedding. I wanted a simple white dress that still looked like a wedding dress but allowed me to move around and not feel restricted. I have one big problem with the dress.....I have not seen it in person or tried it on!!! I know crazy right? But the price of the dress is only $65.99. I found this great site called Milanoo.com. I have read the reviews of the dresses and like all sites, there are good and bad. You can't please everyone all the time.

This site has all types of wedding dresses, brides maid and flower girl dresses in a variety of colors. They sell by the size or you can have yourself measured for a custom fit. They do recommend that you have a professional do the measuring. I plan on ordering the dress now as it can take up to 3 weeks to receive it. I plan on getting the custom fitting so that it will be MY dress. I figure if I order now and hate the way it feels or looks, I have time to get a new one or have alterations made by a local seemstress.

Oh and in case you are wondering which dress I am getting, it was the one in the link below. Wish me luck!!!

Cinderella's Bridal Shop is an online Ebay store that I have been urged to recommend on more than one occasion from Brides who rave about their gowns. They are cheap and I've been told that the quality is up to par with wedding dresses from top designers. That may be because they've been designing and manufacturing dresses for over ten years and because of it they get only positive reviews from their customers. So you can get a designer dress replicated for as little as $200 that has the look, feel and fit of a $5000 wedding dress. That is awesome news for small budget brides everywhere.

Brand new white strapless satin A-line, cuff neckline wedding dress with tags still on! It is a size 8 with no alterations done and bustle created already on the sweep train. Comes with a white sash but could always purchase a colored one for it to match your wedding colors.

You can find this wedding dress listed HERE on Oodle.com where you can contact the owner to buy this fabulous dress for just $175...or maybe less.

I'm not sure how many of you caught Thursday's episode of The Office where Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and Jim Halpert's (John Krasinski) got married. I'll admit that I am not a regular viewer but I did want to see this episode since I just love a good wedding. Unfortunately, I missed it but I did view bits of it on the internet and I was so surprised to see Pam, the bride, wearing a wedding dress from David's Bridal.

She radiated in the beautiful crinkle chiffon, sweep train gown with beading detail on the empire waist design. You can find it for yourself online here or in David's Bridal stores for only $399!
