    We are having a small wedding in Dec. and we're REALLY sticking to a bare minimum budget.  Only 20 people will attend (siblings and parents), however, I wanted my dress to be special.  I have expensive taste and love vintage styles.  I checked out so many web-sites under Vintage and was in total despair thinking wasn't going to find want I wanted in time.  Then, I came across a totally affordable dress from David's Bridal...all lace, fit my petite frame like a glove (115 L/b...34-23-34).  Size 2/ floor model, but a few touch ups and pressing it'll be like new.  You don't have to spend a fortune to get what you want and for me, I was more concerned w/ a marriage as opposed to a wedding!  Just make sure you have fun and keep your priorities straight and you'll find what you want AND need.

    p.s. dress was under $450-

    also, I agree, I didn't get my gown there but I think davids bridal has gorgeous pieces for a great deal.

    Do please show it!

    I agree with you so much that it's about a marriage rather than a wedding! Your dress def sounds both gorgeous and good cents too!

    It's a delicate balance but sounds like you found it perfectly.

    Now lemme see it!!! :)
