PreownedWeddingDresses.com

We love this site! It is the perfect solution for brides who would like to save some money on their dream dress that has been lovingly worn only once. When I was searching for my gown, I looked high and low on this website but couldn't find one in my size so I paid full price at a salon. After my wedding, I sold my Melissa Sweet Dora dress on this very site to a gorgeous San Diego bride. She loved my dress as much as I did and even sent me pictures.

All of the top designer dresses are available like this stunning Christos gown....

Have we posted about Fantasy Floral Designs yet? No, well shame on us because this is one of the most unique ideas we have come across for an alternative to the flower bouquet! 


Amanda makes custom brooch bouquets and you have to see them to believe how beautiful they are! I wish I had found these beauties for my big day...one would have been mine!




Instead of a dried bunch of flowers in your closet you could have this beauty for display or to pass down to your own little girl for her wedding day one day! Love it!
