Dress Of The Week is a weekly feature where we highlight a designer gown that we LOVE and that you can buy for under $500.

This week’s dress is a GORGEOUS chiffon Impressions gown. I love the fitted silhouette and the empire waistline accents. Definitely a hot dress – sophisticated but still sexy and yet – still romantic! This dress retails for $765 and is available from <a href=”http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=108288&u=141476&m=15688&urllink=&afftrack=”>House of Brides</a> for $459!

DOTW: Bari Jay 69934

Dress Of The Week is a weekly feature where we highlight a designer gown that we LOVE and that you can buy for under $500.

For this week’s Dress Of The Week I picked a fantastic gown from Bari Jay (Style #69934). It’s a very unique style with a lot of detailing from the ruffled bodice with rosettes to the tiered mermaid skirt. I know this particular style won’t be for everyone – but I love it. I also love that you get all that detail with a dress that retails for less then $400 and you can get it on sale for $280 from TJ Formals.

DOTW from the Divine Collection

This week’s Dress of the Week comes for the Divine Collection (Style D602) from Elegant Gowns. I love the detailing on this dress – from the tiered ruffled skirt to the lace accent bodice and the floral accent. It’s a gorgeous, unique design but still romantic and feminine. Oh – and did I mention it’s $399? Not kidding! LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. This gown is considered an informal style because it does not have a train but Elegant Gowns does offer customization on many of their styles so you may be able to have a train added if you prefer a more formal look.

The Real Deal #26

Posted by Crystal in Bridal Gowns & Accessories, The Real Deal

I haven’t done a real deal post recently but today I found two gowns that I wanted to share:) Both of these gowns are fantastic deals – take a look!

This dress is being offered for $75 – it is used and needs to be dry cleaned but for $75, even after dry cleaning it’s a great deal! It’s a size 14 with a train that bustles and a tie back and includes a garment bag. Check out more pictures of this great wedding dress here.

Okay, this one is a little more expensive at $400 – but it’s brand new. The seller purchased it 6 months ago and never wore it. It’s a size 4 and has amazing embroidered detail on the bodice and skirt. There are more pictures of the dress and embroidery details here.

DOTW: Aidan Mattox Necklace Dress

Can you really call it Dress Of The Week if you aren’t posting a new dress every week? Lol – well lets get back to it. I am madly in love with this dress! It’s a simple design by Aidan Mattox with a stunning crystal necklace bodice. It gives you the hot bib necklace look built right into the dress – and it’s stunning.

Oh – and the price is stunning to! Even at it’s retail price of $420 it’s a steal – but you can pick it up for $252 right now at Neiman Marcus!

Wow right?

Do you have a rain plan?

Even if you’re having an indoor wedding, being prepared for rain is a good idea. No one wants to show up for the ceremony with drenched hair lol. Today I fell in love with Cheeky Umbrella and their adorable line of designer umbrellas. These would be gorgeous – even if it doesn’t rain lol.

They actually have a couple bridal designs but I love the regular line as well – they would be a great way to add some color and you could coordinate them with your wedding colors.

Macrame Lace Wedding Gowns

Manolo for the Brides does a neat feature on their blog called the Love/Hate Edition where they feature unique weddings finds that brides will either love or hate. This week they posted a collection of gowns from Rosa Clara using macrame lace and I absolutely love them!

Macrame is basically made by knotting strings together rather then weaving and knitting. When I was a kid, my mom used to make big bulky plant holders using macrame. Of course, macrame lace is much more delicate. I have never seen this technique used on a bridal gown before and I really love the effect it creates. I think the look is very unique and perfect for a vintage style wedding.

Visit Manolo for the Brides and let them know if you Love it or Hate it - and you can find more Rosa Clara here.
