People in the US don't really use the phrase "high street," so it's possible not everyone gets what you're talking about. So, it's like buying a wedding suit at a regular main-street or mall store.... instead of a bridal store. (U.S. equivalent, i guess, Banana Republic, Anthropologie, Zara, or even Express...?)
AHhh!!! I get it :D... I am not opposed to buying my dress from wherever and regular department stores actually have normal sizes versus going 18 sizes up so yes i will be looking there as well whenever m pops the question.
i didn't get my dress at a normal bridal shop. i didn't want a big white dress, just something short, so i went to a boutique and found something lacey and vintagey that i love.
I did! I bought my dress from BCBG MAX AZRIA. Before we got engaged I had seen the dress online and loved it. I almost bought it, but since I didn't know when I was getting engaged and I would have had to order it online without seeing it in person, I decided not to get it. Fast forward to months later and two BCBGs in different cities, and I tried on the dress and bought it right away. I felt a little weird that I didn't have the 'full bridal dress' experience, but the girls working at BCBG stood around and oohed and aahed over me anyway. :-) I've since seen my dress on two different brides on the internet! I love it.
Go with what ever you feel is right, I tried on a gorgeous dress in Monsoon and said that if I didn't find anything I liked in the Bridal shops that's the dress I would buy. However as fate had it, I fell in love with a Maggie Sottero dress and bought that one instead, but I wouldn't have thought twice about wearing the Monsoon dress at all. More expensive doesn't always equal more beautiful.
You should go with whatever dress makes you feel great. I have gone for a designer dress but before i bought it i tried dresses on in BHS and Debenhams in Norwich and some of them were gorgeous they just werent for me.
I think its entirely up to you, it doesnt matter where the dress comes from its the way it makes you fell when you wear it xx

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Today I went to buy my dress. It's gorgeous and I love it. It's got a lovely little 50s vibe and suits me and my personality much better than a long gown would.
Has anyone else bought their dress off the high street? I know I'm definitely in the minority because I don't think I've seen anyone post anything similar to this yet.
