    Hey Bee’s…

    We all see the Say Yes to the Dress shows.. and they always say.. DON’T BRING A CROWD. I think the same thing goes for sharing the dress that you are thinking about getting with others also..

    Thing is.. I’m torn. I’m very frugal with my wedding planning.  I want it to be nice.. but I want to cut corners when I can..

    That being said.. I have been searching like crazy for a pre-owned dress under $500 and I acutally found a dress someone is welling to sell me for $350 and it includes the veil! It is a 2008 dress.. but it’s nice!

    When I went to Davids Bridal to try on a dress in that shape, I ended up falling for the first dress I tried on because it was very unique.. and I would have never tried on this dress.  the dress is on sale now for $950, regular $1150. The problem is, do I buy used or buy new?  I know it’s what I want! I know that.. but some people are saying that it’s your first wedding, so should go all out for it.. but those same people don’t have to foot the bill!!

    Just want to know:

    1.  Which dress do you like better

    2. Would you buy new or pre-owned!! I need your options ladys!

    Thanks,

    Jess

    I would buy either! In fact, I did. lol. I’m a two dress bride and the first dress I got was a consignment dress. But I was shopping with a friend and totally fell in love with another gown at Davids Bridal. That one is new, but I had to buy the sample because it was discontinued so techincally it is also sorta used.

    @lubinandjess:

    Hi Jess, I LOVE the way the one you are wearing looks on YOU!  It is hard to say about the second dress because it may look very different on you than on the model. Did youu try the 2nd one on? If you did try it on, and love it more-I would try to do searches for that one if you have plenty of time. Best Wishes. 🙂

    I love the second dress and veil.  But I’ve tried on the first one before and it is beautiful too. If you feel great in the less expensive one then go for it.

    I tried on and love that same DB’s dress (don’t know if that is the one I am going with). However, I am also open to buying used.
