    Been trying to upload this since yesterday - hopefully it will go through today!

    Supposed to be working but instead trying to figure out how to buy the dress of my dreams on a tight budget (under $700 before alterations).  I'm considering the Chinese replica route (please no judgements, I WISH I could afford to pay for an authentic design!). Without wedding bee, I wouldn't have known it was an option, so thank you!

    Anyway, I've pulled a few dresses that I love - all with a vintagey or ethereal/romantic feel for a my sort-of-casual tiny outdoor wedding in Italy.  Has anyone every ordered anything similar to these as a replica?  If so, I'd love to see pictures of your dresses and hear your reviews!!

    Apologies that I don't have actual credits for some of these - they were pulled from the web over the past year, before I thought about posting any questions online.

    BTW, wedding bee has been a saving grace - now ALL I want to do is post!!  :)

    Thanks for the help - I'm hoping I get to see some gorgeous dresses with good reviews!

    @sooner365:  thanks, but i'm still hoping (maybe it's a pipe dream?) for something a little more similar to what's above.  Although I will try on the 2nd one above when i have my next appointment at DB!

    @maggiemarried:  Thanks!  I'm going to look at these links in a bit.

     

    Has anyone purchased a dress like any of the above from the chinese replica sites?  I see some beautiful replicas out there, but never any that look like these.  I'm definitely interested in seeingi those!

    One of the places I'm planning on maybe using is Jasmine's bridal shop. Find them on facebook and they post pictures of some of their finished dresses. I am wanting the same style of dress as you, and there were a couple of dresses on their facebook.

    @jjah89:  Thank you so much - I'm going to take a look at their fb page now.  I've seen a few of these on replica sites, but never actially saw the final product.   I wanted something with the same "soft" look, if that makes sense, even if it's less quality material.  Been dying to see a girl wearing one of these!  Jasmine Bridal sounds promising.  :)   What other dresses are you considering?

    I don't have a picture to share... but I just want to say you will not get any judgement here for getting a chinese replica ! I hope your dress is perfect ! :) I love the style you are going for ! For the record, Aglaya is my favorite ! Its going in my inspiration folder :)

    @maudemaisha:  I love aglaya!  Might be a little too fancy for me (my wedding consists of 30 people basically eating, drinking and dancing in Tuscany).  I haven't decided yet.  I think I need to try it on and see how poofy it is.  I'm leaning toward the WToo Jasmine, but I'd probably add some sort of strap or sleeve, like the aglaya.  I saw a copy of the aglaya on facebook (jasmine's bridal) - it looks pretty good!  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.221563604572623.61640.134074349988216&type=3

    I wouldn't try to get Melissa Sweet Fern replicated.  I asked one company about that and they said the skirt would be made with tulle and lace appliques.  Ugh.  It's actually this beautiful English net.  I think it would change the look of the dress quite a bit.

    @vermontia:  Thanks for the input.  That's been my fear - Not just the quality difference, but the difference in feeling and overall look of the dress.  I don't need the finest quality at all - but you're right, english net and tulle are 2 very different things.  Dang wedding dresses are so expensive!

    @kritonastick  the site above i shared is a Chinese one, the difference about them is they took photos of the finished gown and sell them rather than featuring all the designers' photos and making replicas. They also have custom gown proram

    Hoping it helps.
